The article tries to make ecstasy look bad, but to me it make the drug look good relative to everything else out there, including alcohol.
"The 18 people who were sent to the hospital were between the ages of 16 and 34. In addition to using Ecstasy, 10 had drunk alcohol, and five had also used other drugs."
- So only 3 people out of, say, 30k (assuming two-thirds of the 45,000 attendees used ecstasy) had major issues with ecstasy (0.01%). Even if only 3k people used ecstasy (a ridiculously low number), that still means only 0.1% had major complications. Not bad. I would guess a higher percentage of people drank themselves unconscious that night. They didn't mention how many people received treatment for alcohol poisoning or how many people got into car crashes that night due to alcohol intoxication.
"The 24-year-old man who died at home died of multiple drug intoxication, the CDC said. The man had no chronic illnesses. The man’s friends informed authorities that he had 'used Ecstasy and cocaine at the rave and injected heroin at home afterward.'"
- Mixing is bad folks, especially when you mix and upper (ecstasy and cocaine) with a downer (heroin). Cocaine + heroin is how John Belushi and River Phoenix died.

"Because those sickened had ingested a variety of Ecstasy tablets, health officials concluded that overdose was the cause of their conditions rather than contamination of the drug."
- See, pills are safer than ever from contamination! Just use in moderation and everything will be fine.
