Wake up and smell reality. Drugs don't work by destroying brain cells, they bind to certain receptor sites and after your body finishes flushing them, the receptor sites are still there and everything goes back to normal. Otherwise you would go mental after the first time you smoked pot.
I don't think you should convince yourself of a good thing being too good to be true unless you have real scientific evidence covering how MDMA destroys the brain. Other than that, I've simply come to the conclusion that dehydration and lack of sleep are the main constituents of long term health effects.
thats what i was trying to say as well.
People are throwing around the term neurotoxic as if they understand what it actually means.
And yes, exactly, Serotonin, dopamine, and others are NEURO TRANSMITTERS, which are basically the "type" of or "container" for a message sent from axon to axon during synapse (communication process basically) in your brain. It's not a "part" of your brain, so to speak, but basically a stimuli response that's being tossed around.
The thing is, i know you want me to just "settle and believe" whatever you're saying LSDMDMA& but unfortunately, until you deliver a statement more weighted than "its a drug, and it does stuff to your brain, so its neurotoxic man, believe me" I'm not going to settle.
I believe that the reason why we experience any sort of negative side effects is not from the MDMA itself, but what we do to our body during its "high"
Heat exhaustion, dehydration, over hydration, long hours of high intensity activity without proper nutrition/nourishment and rest
Think going out to the gym, powerlifting and over exercising without eating a proper diet is good for you too? Why do you think bodybuilders eat 4-6,000 calories a day when the average person should eat 1,800-2,000? When you strain your body with ANYTHING (Drug, activity, whatever) you need to BALANCE it out. If you dont BALANCE your chosen (drug, activity, whatever) with the proper care, you are going to experience negative side effects.
People can turn into assholes with certain diets, people can become depressed from certain foods, people can become tired, irritable, "zombie-like"/emotionless by their diet alone. Aren't these all common "side-effects" of MDMA?
What this tells me is that these "symptoms" can come from treating your body poorly, with or without drugs. They are common symptoms of not taking care of yourself.
Find the balance and see what happens.
*EDIT*
losing the magic, i think this term is also thrown around loosely, To me it represents people who feel as if, no matter HOW LONG the break they take, they will never "roll" again. Building a tolerance is different
Do i feel I've "Lost the magic" from booze because two shots wont get me tipsy as it would when i was 14/15 years old? No, i just realize that at 25 (and with more regular drinking) it takes a higher dose to effect me.
if you are rolling all the time, smoking weed all the time, drinking booze all the time, dropping LSD all the time, it takes a higher dose to impact you. With that being said, if you are dropping 9 MDxx heavy pills and hardly feeling anything, you should probably wait until your tolerance goes down before you shove 100+ dollars down your throat for no reason.
Tolerance is always a good sign of how frequently you are using a drug IMO.
