Try taking 10 tylenols at the same time, I think you'll get the same result :)

I know people who have done 5 times what that kid took over the course of one day and they were fine. As is usually the case with deaths blamed on E, it was probably due to a lethal combination of other undeclared substances in his system. Authorities like to hide key info in cases like this to scare people. However, as for a 14 year old doing 6 pills, that's just not right.

Or it could be an undisclosed medical condition.

It's extremely hard to die from E itself, you'd have to do an insane amount to actually die. Most deaths are from bad combos, dehydration, heart conditions, etc.

Just because a pill is sold as "Ecstasy" does not mean it will actually contain MDMA. More "Pill with god knows what is pressed into it, possibly containing a MDx or similarly related compound which may or may not get you high (or dead)"

Who knows what was actually in the pills that they took.

True, but if that were the case this would not be the only case reported. Authorities will rarely pass up the chance to report an E fatality. Also, there is little incentive for an illicit pill manufacturer to whip up a deadly batch, as no one would come back to them for more.

Well the article said that a sample of one of the pills siezed was tested and confirmed it was pure ecstasy.

I blame ignorance, because they had no idea what they were doing.

So, not everything was said about it, because it failed to reach these kids. The government needs to add a harm-reduction side to their drug prevention strategy. Not doing so is incredibly short-sighted, condescending, and ultimately useless.

And what Big Boss said. It's the ecstasy AND something else.
