ok earlier, in a different thread, i mentioned an article that i read about E now a days (esp in Asia) and well..., here it is.
TIME's article on E
here is a SMALL excerpt that left a strong impression on me:
"All this marveling should raise suspicions, however. It's probably not a good idea to try to duplicate the best moment of one's life 40 times, if only because it will cheapen the truly good times. And even as they help open the mind to new experiences, drugs also can distort the reality to which users ineluctably return. Is ecstasy snake oil? And how harmful is it?"
now i ask u all.. wuts ur take on this?! i really want others opinion on this article and the whole issue so, please dont hesitate to speak ur mind! :D
and dont nobody flame me for sounding anti-drugs..:p im far from it hehehe :)

The article was very informitive but it still won't change my useage of E.
I like taking it and just chilling. I don't just take it at raves.
I will stop one day though. Long term use will prolly do some odd things to me. |

I really like that article...
the fact that it tells what it is true... i mean like i posted before i dont take E.. never done and dont plan to ..i have a great life going on for me right now...i experience so much natural happiness.. that i couldnt ask for more.. what this article is saying ... is that a lot of people take E because they know it wil;l take you to a happy stage....but i dont believe that... if you are sad... then it s all in your mind.. you can change that naturally.. you dont need E to take you t that level of happiness.. I do that all the time... a lot of people do that...but it is how everyone sees this drug and take it so personal..that is the main reason people do it... my sister for an example... she takes e all the time..but she tells me how of a night mare she has sometimes even when she takes it... most of the time she can't even enjoy a party, she just sists there and act stupid.. then the next day she asks me if anything good happened while she was rolling that she missed... ECXACTLY.. whatever that pill does to you.. it will only do it to your self...it will not do it for the things around youyou are in trance with youself and that is all...thats why some people dont remember what they did..but when i go to party or something i want to be able to enjoy everything..everyone and every moment.. and i find myself having more fun than she does when we are at the same place and she is taking something and im not...
i mean.. if you do it.. i have nothing against you... i can totally see how people just do it for the hell of it though... but this is my opinion...
nice thread by the way!

imagine this.. you've got in your hand a big bag of pebbles. each pebble represents a chunk of happiness, and thiese pebbles are shared out throughout your life, your happiness only comes from this bag. when you get married, you use up lots of pebbles, when you have your first kiss, the same happens. when you take e you use up pebbles that should be reserved for other points in your life.
what they are saying in the article is what ive written above and i disagree with it. in my opinion, there is an unlimited amount of happiness that one can experience, a pebbly beach a million miles long!
now who's trippin?!
yellowbee, i agree with what you say in some ways, and i'm glad you've got nothing against ecstacy users (mature attitude!) but i want you to know that not all e takers take it to get them to that level of happiness. i can get to such a high level of happiness without e with no problem at all, what e does for some people (not all) is sends you past that high level. does that make sense? |

| I dislike E because i don't believe in getting ed to the point where you can't remember what the hell is going on. Anyways studies have been done that say that E causes brain damage. But i guess if you want to take E, that is your choice, to each his or her own. |

well, I've done e...quite a few times, but i never get ed up to the point of not having a clue where i am...i have no bad experiences on it and so far so good...i know its not good for me so my 'e' days are pretty much numbered except for special occasions.
there u have it...

Happiness is a state of mind (i learned it a few days ago), whather you use E or not, is not gonna change that. I've done it and prolly i'll do it more times. I really want to experience these new things, if I don't ike it, i'll just leave it. It's nice to see people here who don't do drugs but respect the people who do them.

Whats ironic is that people who seek thrills that are similar to effects of E like skydivers, bungee jumpers, etc.. They don't bitch after skydiving 100's times that its not a thrill anymore... Its not like they can't feel excited in normal life because they experience so often these intense thrills...
I mean the argument that having these Euphoric moments too often will lessen your life enjoyment is just silly. Why then do thrill seekers spend their lives going for that adrenalin and endorphin rush? They don't tire of those experiences. Nor do those experiences diminish normal emotions, in fact its often said that those thrill seekers enjoy life more since they experience its intensity unlike normal people.
Yes mdma is a chemical way of experiencing euphoria, but come on the effects are similar for both individuals (skydiver/E user), with of course the exception that E is not good for you :) |

Well put mate. That's my thoughts 100%. Also worth noting that you're probably more likely to kill youselves skydiving or snowboarding than by taking E. And you don't see people walking up to Snowboarders saying "I don't need to snowboard to appreciate the mountains". |
