I would have to disagree with you on this. Yes ecstasy is generally safe if taken responsibly...this is true...but is not even close to one of the safest drugs you can take. Physiologically: mushrooms, LSD, and mescaline are among the least harmful drugs.
You have to take into consideration that all pressed MDMA pills are cut with some sort of adulturant whether it be caffienne, ephedrine, PMA, DXM, etc...there is always something else present. If you take ecstasy seriously and you claim that you are a responsible drug user you should buy a testing kit and test everything before you take it. Of course this doesn't factor out the possibility that you body just by chance may react negatively towards the MDMA, though it's VERY likely your chances are good that nothing bad will happen. And also take into consideration your state of mind while on ecstasy...people always want more, more, more. I've seen people take 8 good quality pills in a night and be so fucked out of their heads that they couldn't stand up...that's pushing the safe barrier.
Also the after long term effects of ecstasy are VERY real. Take it from someone who is there right now...I was a responsible ecstasy user and now 1.5 years later I have generalized anxiety disorder, and I know A LOT of other people who are in the same boat as I am. Scientists still need a good 20 - 40 more years of studying before they can identify and document the very REAL long term after effects of ecstasy use.
But in general I will admit that E use isn't as bad as I have made it out to be, but most drug users aren't as responsible as they think.
And you also asked...how is ecstasy use effecting the scene (I assume you mean trance scene) well here is my comment on this:
The R.A.V.E. act was issued this year which gives the right for the police to shut down clubs and events which drug use is being conducted at. And for those of you who don't thinh this threat is real....the biggest club in the U.S., Club Space34 in Miami, Florida is now being forced to shut down their doors because of all the negative press about ecstasy use assosiated with clubs...they just shut down the biggest club in the U.S. because of ecstasy, this is real and this sucks expecially for all the non or ex-drug users who are trying to enjoy going out and having fun because drug users can't keep their drugs at home.
But I'd be a hypocrite if I said I never went out to clubs and did drugs, but I did...but it's all in the past...am I a straightedge? HELL NO!!!! But my life and my perspective towards drugs has changed dramatically.
