I understand that in London it has been estimated that they consume 4 million on a weekend

That doesn't really surprise me as I heard a figure of 2 million mentioned some 10 years ago or more.

Everyone dreamed everything in this thread, because there are no real answers, since the data is not in existence.

Totally. But it is interesting to see how people think about this.
At one end of the scale you have people who only know users, and for whom this figure would undoubtedly be seen as higher. At the other end are those who do E in secret and so know relatively few users.
BT is right I guess, this thread probably contributes no real value to harm reduction, especially since rumors spread from the most unlikely sources and it would be unfortunate if any of the figures mentioned here were quoted as fact.
Still, I'd be surprised if people like NDARC or the Feds don't have some estimation based on collaborative studies. If not then perhaps it might make a good post grad topic for someone.

yeah...this has been an interesting thread.
but the thing that strikes me the most is the value of this illegal industry.
with a huge turnover in the vicinity of $500 mill a year, not including prohibition measures, the trade in "ecstasy" is big business.
the money the government could make, if it 'managed' this industry, could help solve some of their problems IMHO......like hospital waiting lists......
