First of all do you even know the Lord? & 2nd so your saying that taking these drugs isnt going 2 be bad for us? Were going 2 be just as healthy & mentally fit b4 we used them? Reality check. It's a know fact that drugs are bad. Yes they can be fun i wont lie about that, but that fun comes @ a price.

Hey, good luck with your whole ignorance thing. I hope it sees you through life well. Alternatively, you could be so inclined to go do some reading before you try to influence other people's opinions on a subject you cannot construct a meaningful argument about.

"Reality check". Nothing pisses intelligent people off like somebody ranting totally unsensical parroted nonesense as if it were fact, especially when the intent is to influence the opinions of others. You are entitled to your own opinion, and as such I am entitled (and, I feel, obligated) to counter it.

If you would like to cite any valid research to back up your ideas about occasional responsible MDMA use I would be glad to counter with an analysis, as well as many more studies to the contrary.

And, as I side note, I am sorry that you were not able to draw any meaning from what very well could have been a life changing experience. The same goes out to all the others who feel they have not learned anything. Perhaps an introspective reevaluation may be of use. What was holding you back?

Sorry to all if this looks like a flame, but this (series) of posts from this person just rub me the WRONG way. :p

ANYWAY... (Ahemm...)

Psychedelic drugs and MDMA in particular have had a rather positive effect on my life. I credit some personal revelations that it, and the incredible people in the culture that surrounds it's use, have had on my life for myriad positive changes. For instance I have gone from a 2.3 GPA in high school ( NEVER did homework or went to class, passed on tests alone) to a 4.0 at the university, working toward an advanced degree in physics.

I also managed to extract myself from a rather self destructive social situation to friends that are the most open and loving people that anyone could ever hope to meet.

The more personal changes are impossible to relay via this medium, so I will refrain from trying.

BTW I most certainly do not miss the person I was. I attribute only part of the changes that I have made, for the better, to drug use. Most of the change is from exposure to the people and situations that I would have been ignorant of had it not been for the drug lifestyle.
 
I think alot of people are genuinely not changed much by ecstacy use in the long-term because they have already done enough introspective analysis, they've already conquered their demons, and they already knew exactly who they were when they started using the drug. Therefore, i believe such people are likely to experience temporary changes to their personality to varying degree's while on the drug, but no, or very few long-term changes. It's just logical...
 
all these people coming on here saying ecstasy changed there life and they seem really obsessive with it are the ones that will probably end up abusing..its a drug it might be a good drug but when it comes down to it,it is just a drug
 
I totally agree its a drug when it comes down to it, but that doesn't mean it still didn't change my life. Its done many things for me that will and have made me a better person. I wouldn't give up my experiences with ecstasy for anything.
 
E can definately change your mental outlook on life, and so can any other psychosomatic. I have seen the good and bad side of taking E. The trick is not to abuse it... The positive effects are very real, it the early 90's it helped me tremendously to improve my outlook on life, or more acurately improved my capacity for empathy. On the down side I have known people that are permanately damaged from abusing it. People that now have to take anti-depressents and/or anti-anxiety meds for the rest of their lives. I have also known people that developed severe permanate attentional disorders from abuse. The biggest thing is to watch your intake. During my abuse stage I suffered pretty deep depression for months at a time. I was lucky enough to not have perm. damage, but it was enough to wake me up and start to use my brain for more than just frying. The key word here is moderation, even oxygen in large enough quanities will kill you! Do the drug, don't let the drug do you, or you will regret it.

If you're going to do something as serious as ecstasy, you might as well do it on an intellectual basis.

Ecstasy for me, has changed my life both directly and indirectly. Directly as in I was able to rationalize a lot of things in my life, and see certain issues that had been knocking at my mind in a whole new light. Indirectly as in the things I did while under the influence led to some events that also changed my perspectives of people in general, mostly my friends and some people I thought were trustworthy etc.

Overall, I think that if you do it for the right reasons, and not for too long, the good can far outweigh the bad, but that's just me. Everyone needs different vices in their lives, this just happens to be mine.
 
Ecstacy, in combination with other things, helped me to be more active at meeting people and socialising.

Not that I was withdrawn before, but very rarely would I have initiated a conversation with a stranger, even at a social gathering, because I thought other people didn't like talking to strangers.

Having Ecstacy basically forced to talk to strangers (E makes it impossible for me to keep quiet :) ) got me to learn that most people actually don't mind a bit of random conversation, and sometimes you can meet interesting people that way.

Yes I will be able to. I could never do it again if I wanted to, but I'm going to use it in monderation until I feel that i got what I wanted from it. You people may not believe but I have very strong self control and if I want to stop using it.. I WILL.

Thats an awesome quote and its totally the truth.
 
All that's changed is that if I'm a bit bored, awkward or disinterested at a party/place, instead of getting legless drunk, I pop pills. Suddenly, everybody is...well you know the story ;)

Seriously though, yeah, I will say some experiences I've had on E have 'changed' me a bit...but it's the experiences, could just as easily be had without the E...but they're in situations where it's sub-culturally unacceptable to have those experiences without rolling...oh well, same as getting drunk, stoned, whatever I guess.
 
Just wanted to know what others thoughts were?///? Ecstasy change the whole outlook on life to me.Droped for the first time summer of ,05. Was going through a divorce that made me feel like not wanting to live anymore. Since then,I see the will to live,the want to live.May sound kinda wierd,but this is from the heart.One reason I think it should be legal.Anyway Ecstasy I think has not only changed my life,but saved it as well.Thank you Ecstasy!!!!!!!!!!!<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
 
For sure, I'd say it definitly gave me a positive outlook on life soon after. I was definitly much happier during my rolling days.
