Good article, but tells us nothing we don't already know. I'm not so sure subbing MDMA for alcohol is such a good idea, though. There's no such thing as having a relaxing bomb of MD after work.

I'm not sure that's the point of the article. Rather, it seems to point out MDMA is less threatening to public health than an already legalised substance (in this case, alcohol), hence the comparison. If tobacco had a similar impact on one's mood as the one seen with alcohol or MDMA (and I should point out I'm not denying it doesn't calm people down, as it apparently does), they'd probably have mentioned it as well.

I know it's not the point of the article. I'm just picking up on these bits:

quote:

Many experts Fairfax Media spoke to for this story say there is overwhelming evidence ecstasy is significantly less dangerous than alcohol for the user and society generally. And the word from users is when it is available, they choose it over drinking.

quote:

"If police wanted a quieter Saturday night make sure there's a plentiful supply of ecstasy, rather than alcohol. Because ecstasy is not a drug that is known to be associated with violence," he says.

MDMA is good for a very specific purpose: dancing to loud music in dark rooms. Outside of that context, I'm not sure many people advocate choosing it over alcohol.

EDIT: To be more specific, this article paints a very rosy picture of the drug by only discussing the positives and completely avoiding any mention of the negatives. Taking MDMA multiple times in a week causes absolute carnage to your day-to-day life. I think it's probably a good thing that it remains a limited, special occasion drug. Unleash it upon a wider public without restrictions of price, access and fear of criminal repercussions and you just know there's a large demographic of consumptive, excessive people who'd probably go nuts and ruin their lives in record timing.
