I have a theory that the long-term side effects from mdma come from re-dosing, as when you first dose and use up your serotonin and the effects wear off, and you redose, dopamine floods your serotonin axons causing damage. I think this is where those effects come from..
As I said, I do not plan on redosing...
Why do it? Because I feel the positives will outweigh the negatives, as I need to overcome some stuff I am having trouble doing on my own...
Also, you say it has the potential to make my life hell for a very long time - i do not agree... I do not think normal use of this will - i think abuse or 'benders' lead to that..
