There aren't many good studies in the US precisely because of it's scheduling under the DEA. But serotonin levels are definitely restored. Most estimates range anywhere from a few days to six weeks before serotonin levels are full

Not according to the graph or the study. Source? Toxicity is not the only measure for physical harm.

Perhaps. Personally if I drew the graph, I would put MDMA and cannabis closer together in terms of physical harm. I think they are dangerous in different ways and it's difficult to say which is more dangerous in absolute terms. Like yo

This is incredibly naive. You are much better off testing any substance you put into your body. Whether you test it yourself, or can confirm that a trusted party has tested it. What if your reliable supplier was sold cyanide from an unrelia

Note that you need a very accurate scale (measures down to the milligram) to accurately measure dosage for this substance. Please make sure you don't take too much. It is impossible to measure by eye.

No one has ever died directly from an MDMA overdose (as far as I know). Yes there have been indirect deaths usually from over-hydration (which causes the brain to swell, with or without MDMA), which usually happens in a rave/dance sett

You're right. Although I am much more likely to trust someone who has had significant experience with both (especially if they have also managed to become a doctor or something similar). I don't have much information, but based on

Absolutely. I did not mean to imply that the results are lab grade quality. To clarify, by "pure MDMA", I did not mean that the substance is 100℅ pure MDMA, but rather that it does not contain other active adulterants. With reagen

As some others have said, it all depends on how the debt is forgiven. If the government uses tax payer money to repay the loans, then you are correct. If the government makes universities and/or loan providers eat the cost in cases whe

I feel that the first chart/plot on this wiki gives a pretty good estimate on the relative potentials for abuse of various drugs. Note the relative positions of Ecstasy, Cannabis, and Heroin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

The sad truth is that some kids don't have parents. The fact that they need to take out a loan at all suggests that their parents (if they have any) may not be very experienced at making much money themselves. Loan forgiveness should n

You feel cheated that you understand debt enough not to be taken advantage of? Seems like a silly thing to be upset about. Perhaps we also shouldn't rescue someone who falls into an open man-hole, because it isn't fair to those of

by CoryG89 10y ago
The problem is a university and/or loan provider who is only interested in your money (and doesn't fear their loans being forgiven) has an incentive to mislead kids into thinking that this is not irresponsible. Not everyone is as

If you were mislead by the bank about the value (or future value) of the house, then perhaps that loan should be (at least partially) forgiven as well. It is also the responsibility of the party giving a loan to ensure that the borrower wil

Yes, or perhaps just people who were mislead by universities and/or student loan providers.

by CoryG89 10y ago
Then you are not the target for student loan forgiveness. It is meant for those who took a loan on the premise that they would be able to get a job that allowed them to pay back the loan. This is not the case for a large portion of college

Perhaps you have to take a test designed to measure self control before being allowed access to addictive drugs? I think many of these dangers would be much smaller if we had a better educated public when it comes to the differences and spe

True in the sense that pure MDMA cannot be pressed into a solid tablet alone. It needs to be mixed with fillers/binders to be pressed into a pill and stick together. However, you can find Ecstasy pills that contain nothing but MDMA and

MDMA (or Molly) usually comes as a cloudy off white crystal or crystalline powder (if broken up). Ecstasy comes as a pressed pill (presumably containing some MDMA, with the possibility of other drugs/adulterants and fillers). The only

I tend to agree, but I don't think a society should treat all drugs the same. Opiates and crack cocaine are much more dangerous, than say pot or MDMA. If we legalize everything, we need much better drug education in schools. Let's

by CoryG89 10y ago
The fact that one of the doctors in the article compares the dangers to opioids is misleading or misguided. MDMA has an exceptionally small potential for long term abuse when compared to most other drugs. Despite having studied brain damage

I agree that it makes sense for a journalist in the sense that many people do not know what MDMA is, but they have heard of Ecstasy. However, Ecstasy does have negative connotations that pure MDMA does not. The risk of unknown adulterants i
