On the other hand, there are no conclusive studies that say it's not harmful long-term.
Seeing as there is plenty anecdotal evidence supporting the fact that ecstasy is harmful, I'm going to stick with believing that.
Even if the damage caused by ecstasy is short term (i.e less than a year to heal), why should that be acceptable? Is it acceptable to have a broken finger or toe for a year, just because you know it will heal eventually? |
Quite the opposite, there are people who have been rolling for decades and are now fine, they aren't vegetables, in fact nothing is wrong with them (I've read many first hand accounts of such veterans of e, and according to themselves, they are fine).
As to your last point, it's different strokes for different folks. Some people would take the risk of short term damage, some people wouldn't. It's not as stupid as breaking your own toe though, there is a payoff from taking e (the enjoyment you get).
The reasoning of the article in the OP may be flawed, but the more important issue is the legality of it. Why make it illegal? Legal drugs have killed far more people (oxies, benzos).
A better analogy is, if you let people jump out of planes (risk taking behavior), why not let them risk their lives with drugs?
Edit: Krypton, I'm positive there AREN'T any studies that suggest any of the damage caused by use of mdma isn't reversible. Sorry, you're wrong.
