I really dont post on here anymore....but for the sake of XTC I will This was posted up a long time ago but it is a great source for information on XTC Peter Jennings from 20/20 proves how the goverment testing of XTC was wrongly done to misdirect the American public from the real truth THAT XTC ISNT REALLY THAT BAD FOR YOU! check it www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt6PHhOZ32g
it's all chemicals, it still damages the nerve fibres at the end of the neuro-transmitter capable of producing the flow of serotonin... how can that really be not that bad for you?? (i'm a recreational e-user and it makes you stupid and does lead to depression, which in some cases can be permanent- tho luckily not permanent for me - yet).
you're right about that, but if you can dispell the evidence that mdma actually erodes axon sheaths at 5HT sites, and depletes 5-HO-indole acetic acid in the spine (which has consistently been the case, and directly signifies depleted serotonin levels, since serotonin eventually metabolizes into 5-HIAA) , then you may be on to something. otherwise, MDMA is still a known neurotoxin, and has been shown by researchers outside the US as well.
http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Medicine/Neuroscience/?ci=0195140087&view=usa chapter 10 (Serotonin), there's even a picture of human 5HT neurons shown affected by mdma use, and the studies with references out the yang. pick up this book next time you're in the library. non-biased textbook of referenced studies. I used to be a skeptical kid, like yourself...now it's pretty much my job to read peer-reviewed scientific papers; I just found this book interesting, and more credible than a 20/20 report. p.s. - there's no such thing as "proof" in science, only significant evidence supporting theories, and that book has plenty of it.
well i dont wanna buy the book. if its bad for me then what the hell. everything is bad for u anyways, and we all die eventually.
wasn't telling you to buy the book, merely referencing it. I checked it out from a university library. anywho, seldom is any substance harmless, even too much water will kill ya. besides... mesc > mdma
