But you can't say ecstasy isnt as addictive psychologically as anti depressants...
From my experience, there are very few people who are prone to consuming MDMA on a regular basis outside of a community of people close to one another once they've tried it. Of these very few people, there have been very few who had to take an actual effort to stop their habit. Actually, make that none (whom I have personally met).
I've had intense feelings of anticipation towards an empathogenic high for sure, but that's about it. I myself have managed to limit empathogen use to an occasional habit (1-3times/year) over 9yrs. This year it only happened once so far and it will very likely not even happen on nye since there is a kid around.
I've used the following substances on a daily basis without ever actually having been planning to do so:
-Cannabis (smoked, daily, 11yrs, few breaks of 6weeks max, subjective control over and moderation of my usage increased with time),
-Opioids (rectal & oral, rarely IV, daily, several episodes of <1month),
-Amphetamine (intranasal, daily, several episodes of 3-4months each),
-Ketamine (intranasal, later IM, a lot, extremely hard to keep track of this one, it tricks my brain when it comes to reflecting on frequency of usage, might be due to it's induction of amnesia, ~200times, mostly compressed to an episode of heavy use within a 2yr timespan),
-Phencyclidine(smoked, daily, 3.5months),
-Psychedelics (various roa's, ~250 times over the course of 4-5yrs, mostly compressed to an episode of heavy use within a 2yr timespan, add dmt to that and you're at ~350)
-GHB/BDO/GBL (oral, several episodes of ~2weeks each)
Well, you can see you could call me an addictive personality (alcohol and tobacco were not mentioned...), but never have I been addicted to empathogens, despite their availability (free of cost, often just laying around).
I believe empathogens' potential for addiction to be very very low compared to other classes of habit forming substances. If there's one drug I think a person can gain massive benefit from with little work it is MDMA and it still is one of the few drugs I would recommend to a drug naïve person who has an interest in the "subject". Ofc doing no subtances at all is the golden way, but I just have experienced the powerful impact MDMA & co can have when it comes to blasting internal barriers. Once those barriers are down, they can potentially stay that way without any active participation of the user himself. The stuff truly is a wonderdrug and it took me very long to realize that since it's cultural use is widely limited to club parties.
There wouldn't be such a thing as war time PTSD if leaders of the world were given 120 mg MDMA two hours prior to any summit, foreign policy decision, enactment or (scheduled) war declaration.
Excellent idea!
yeah... put it in the arabs water. for gods sake.
Wtf are you doing posting something like that on this site? This is a bunch of caring, loving people and very few will agree to what you say. It's the arabs who are being invaded by us (I myself am German) and this has been happening for an eternity. Open your mind, open your eyes, switch off the tv and feed your brain.
Since you are reducing this not to a nation, but to an ethnic group, I'll go ahead and claim that the white race slash western civilization has been war mongering like no other since the beginning of time. We need to transcend our differences and stop reducing people to their social, ethnic, national and whatever dimension of heritage.
With MDMA (to me) symbolizing the act of understanding and loving, telling someone he needs to have some is very close to the statement "You need to love me more". Love can't be forced, it's caused by that exact same love and understanding you're asking for (in the name of "god" who imho is the very same god the "arabs" are worshiping).
