Well, that's the only part I take issue with. From what I've read and heard, there is damage caused to receptors in the brain that control serotonin up-take, if I recall correctly.

I believe this happens when you abuse the drug. If you take in moderation, your levels go back to normal within a short period of time.
I'm not sure, I could be wrong. Was a long time ago I read the study.
The key is finding it clean. When you find it laced with stuff, that's when it really screws up your body. |

although I agree, i think its a pretty ty article.
he's putting MDMA on a pedestal and putting down whatever that other drug is and spitting out words without really backing them up.
but its an opinion piece.
(and don't flame me for saying that because I agree and it will hurt my feelings)
:p |

+1 I believe you are correct. All the "holes in the brain" stuff stemmed from a singular case of heavy abuse.
Everything in moderation.:crazy: |

i wish that all the brainwashed, government-tainted people out there would read this...
if the majority of people would actually do some research rather than sitting on their fat asses drinking another beer to go w/ their mcdonalds they would actually see that it is not as bad as they thought... i hope more articles like this get published in the near future |

the study that showed damage to seretonin uptake and production was later retracted because the drug samples used were in fact METH and not mdma. the damage done to public perception, though, is still lingering around. the government, DARE, etc of course made nowhere as big a deal about the retraction as about the study, no surprises there.
which underlines another irony: Meth itself, highly addictive and with numerous well-demonstrated negative physiological effects, is a ing prescription drug along with other amphetamines in the form of ADD and anti-depressant medicines. what the , FDA? |

| of course the problem is that 99% of us are not swallowing much MDMA when taking a pill. Of course legalization would clean this up. Otherwise, id have to say street pills are not healthy at all. |
