Does anyone actually think about it?

At Rush Hour, I'm sure I slapped my brain with at least 200mg of MDMA. Needless to say, I'm still feeling a little scattered, but nothing I couldn't operate normally with...
Getting to the point of this as quickly as I can, does anyone actually think about the fact that all this awesome partying, dancing and rolling may cost you 15 years of severe depression (15 years of thinking 'death may be better than this')in your later life?
That taking ecstacy may deprive you of a few months, a year or even a decade of your life?
For those who have ingested 5+ pills in a weekend (400mg of MDMA?) do you worry at all about the consequences - past the comedown?
I'm not trying to offend anyone here... I'm just after reflections/input. I personally spend a lot of time thinking about how much of my life I might take away... For a night I can hardly remember.

There are a couple of current posts on a similar topic:
For immediate effects of caning it hard:
Knowing your limits...
Worried about you guys...
Drug induced ADD??
And from the Australia/Asia/NZ/Middle East Discussion Forum (the old board):
Long-term effects of e...what are they?
Regular ecstacy use linked with mem..er..memory...something
... and the list goes on. For those interested in information about the long term effects of MDMA use, a quick search using the terms "long term MDMA" is all it takes to find the info.
(Edit: I had originally closed this thread, but, as nostalgic pointed out to me, there haven't been any threads speculating the possibility that MDMA reduces your life span. So, this thread will be open to replies about that topic.
On a personal opinion note (that's right, IMHO) for those new to bluelight, please keep in mind that there is NO evidence to support any statements of this kind, and that the opinions expressed here are just that (until such time as actual FACT comes to light). So, there's no need to panic and alert the media that we've discovered something new here

what do I think? Well personally I think it probably is doing me harm, and it might cause damage later on, however, I'm always consoled by the (rather ridiculous) thought that there are millions out there who go much harder than me, so I figure I'm not gonna be half as bad as most of them. Little consolation but it is a small comfort hehehe.
I also think about the things which I avoid, like smoking related diseases and alcohol related diseases by not smoking and rarely drinking. So I figure I'm better off than most in that category too.
I think at the end of the day you can't constantly think about the consequences to your actions or you'd never take drugs, never drive a car, hell, you wouldn't leave the house!
What I'm trying to say is there's risks in everything we do, and as long you make a decision to be as safe as possible without boring yourself to death (for me that means once a month, 5htp postload and generally leading a reasonably healthy life), then the good times will almost definitely outweigh their consequences.
thats my 2c anyway
 
Although there are many risks associated with drug use, taking note of a lot of the information you find on this forum will put you well on your way to offsetting them. I mean it would have been quite sometime before I became aware of the concept of postloading, the dangers of injecting certain things etc without bluelight. I just wouldn't have seeked them out, on here it's just in my face over and over so I take a bo peep. Precautionary measures are important to me, they help put my mind at rest, and I find they rid me of some of the guilt associated with drug taking.
I like Mr E. Moores last thoughts about taking part in such activities.
Having said that I would like to think that most people think carefully before doing anything which warrants hesitation.

I think about it all the time, and I think anyone with half a brain does as well. But I also think that the world we live in, In general, is doing us harm. Simple things like crossing the road etc. etc. It all carries a certain danger. But we are informed to look for cars and look both ways so the cross is LESS dangerous. Some people do this and some just walk across without looking.
I beleive everything in moderation is OK. As long as we are informed (with the right information not government or media bullshit) so we can make a judgement call and do what we think is OK. It's up to the individual to do what he/she wants with that information. whether he/she takes it easy or canes it is up to them.
I do think it damages the brain but you'd be suprised how much the body can take.
Just make sure you control it and it doesnt control you.

I never thought of the consequences of my drug use until strange things started to happen.
Admitely I consumed large quantities of ecstasy and even more of speed and I thought I was untouchable and now I am addicted to speed and a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia.
I am confident that the drugs aren't totally to blame but they did help.
I wish my dealer told me about the consequences not that I would have listened.

It worries me plenty... I have got to the point of slowly kissing MDMA goodbye. Its been fun, but the consistant use of ecstacy is not worth it personally. I just got off a 2 month break, and I want to make the next one substansially longer. If I don't have proper control of my mental faculties, I am fucked. I was never good at sports... My brain is all I have for a potential career.

Hell yeah I worry. But I minimise my risks- read up and test what I take, use 5htp post-rolling, get advice from people on this board.
IMHO alcohol and smoking are far worse for you than E in moderation (there is NO such thing as smoking in moderation).
I wouldn't swap the fun that I've had, the people I've met, the understanding of myself I got from E, for anything.
