What makes me sad is that the loudest critics of anti-ecstasy activists are just as misinformed and biased. Sure Bob's got an agenda. He thinks drugs are harmful (that's a crazy idea, who'd have thought?) and he's trying to spread the message. And all we do, save a few of the wiser less idealistic of us, is cry and complain about how fucked up the DEA and the government are for filling everyone's heads with lies. What did Bob say that was so wrong? Not much if you ask me. And besides, how much of what you "know" is any better or more based in fact than what he "knows"?
You "know" that ecstasy doesn't cause long-term negative effects. Why, because you feel fine and you've taken 100 pills over the last 2 years? Or you took 13 in one night once and it didn't fuck you up permanently?
You "know" that your pills are pure. And if they aren't, what adulterants you're getting in your pills from a trusted (ha) source won't harm you. Why, because your friends told you there's never anything that could
really hurt you in pills? Or maybe you saw it on a website?
You "know" that every study that's shown negative effects is bullshit. So you did your own I take it?
And apparently, anyone with 1/2 a brain just "knows" that ecstasy is
better than heroin or crack. Riiight. Because no user is an individual and everything is black and white and can be explained as simple as that... it's just better. 8(
These self proclaimed experts do no one any good. Well put.
Basically (and I'm speaking to no one person here, just a general 'you') I'm just really tired of hearing about how mad it makes you that
They keep lying and trying to influence people not to use ecstasy and it's so fucked up because ecstasy is so good and it could make the whole world better if only... Are you serious? 99.9% of ecstasy users take it to get fucked up (I know how much you like when the enemy uses numbers like that

), not for that higher cause that so many of you cite when you're defending its merit. You take too much of you have no idea what because it makes you feel fucked up. And then when Bob here tries to say that it might not be good for you, which it might not, you throw a hissy fit.
We aren't the victims we seem to think we are. And we're never going to prove that what we are is an intelligent population worthy of being listened to if we don't grow up and get a fucking clue.
