The show also talked about US Government-backed studies that showed ecstasy causes brain damage. Apparently the scientist who was doing the study accidently injected the test subject with meth, instead of MDMA.

here is the study http://mdma.net/toxicity/ricaurte.html
and about the retraction http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/302/oops.shtml

Thanks, I read the retraction article awhile back...but I never did read the actual study.

Very nicely done - it presented the arguments from both sides and the footage they showed in the first 15 minutes was a real eye-opener...

...it is true though, if the government was up front and said "ya know, this stuff will damage you, we don't know how yet, so take it easy because you don't know the long term effects" instead of "Don't take it! 1 Pill and you'll get parkinsons and you could die!" - ya, real effective there.


The only "gripe" I had with the program was that while they showed both sides of the issue, they weighed the anti-mdma side too hevily on the exaggerated govt claims and only gave abotu 45 seconds to the testimonials of peopel who said they had taken it and that it was not a good experience for them.

I would have liked to see a little more time devoted to those people's stories and a little less time hearing the DEA guy talk abotu russian roulette.

Overall I agree with the Swamp-man that it was a well done show.

Yes, it provides a very good historical background on the drug and will put aside pretty much any of the bad things you've heard about MDMA. Besides the fact that they don't know what drug usage will do to those as they get older.
