Should Ecstasy be legal?

Like others who have gone into detail, they all should be legal. It's a crime against humanity making them illegal, locking up tax payers for what? Pleasing themselves while making another person profit(win,win).

Should they all be used? Nope, will they all be used? Nope. When one has access to other less harmful drugs, there really is no need for the more dangerous ones. Yes, more then likely there will still be a select few who use them but in the end, the % of users would be very very small if not none. Especially seeing how selling drugs is based off how much profit one can make, so they may be legal but that does not mean there's someone willing to synthesize them without a high cost.
 
The government doesn't deserve the enormous profits it could make from legalizing drugs. If ecstasy were legal that'd just be one more HUGE thing for the man to stick his dick in. I'd rather friendly drug dealers make big bucks then adding extra value to the US dollar.
 
Non addictive, at least in most cases, creates happy feelings and thoughts...I think it should be. Only weed, ex, DMT and perhaps the hallucinogens. Other than that, everything else is corruptive and addictive.
 
All drugs should be legal. There is no logical reason for them to be illegal. Governments just have an annoying habit of trying to protect its citizens from themselves, which is expensive and flat-out stupid.

Oh God, just think how fantastic it would be if, rather than taking a gamble every time you buy a pill not knowing what it has in it, just being able to go to Rite-Aide and being able to choose your preference from several different selections.
 
Absolutely not. I think society is a whole is irresponsible. If people can't drink alcohol in moderation and refuse to be held accountable for their own actions such as drinking and driving, then why should a drug like MDMA be legalized? It IS illegal for a reason - and it should stay that way. DMT, salvia and psilocybin aren't addictive, either, but they're not exactly "for everyone". What hallucinogens lack in addictive properties they more than make up for in other potential risks.
 
Legal. There will be responsible users and irresponsible users just like every other drug. Those who are irresponsible and do it every weekend will pay and lose the magic reeeal fast. I think it will never happen, personally. I mean, if they won't even legalize marijuana I don't ever see "The Man" making MDMA legal again.

But making it illegal doesn't stop people from using it, or from being irresponsible with it, much like Prohibition didn't stop people from consuming alcohol and being idiots about it.
 
no i dont think it should be legal. the risk of overuse/overdosing is too great with ecstasy

If you treat all drugs with respect, overdose/overuse is minimal. Ecstasy is the farmost least addictive of all drugs by far, in my opinion. I don't like rolling more than once every two to three weeks, and for a good reason.

Responsibility and self control is the key to all drug use.
 
Well I think drugs were made illegal for all of the wrong reasons. Mostly racism and money. However, MDMA was made illegal just because it gets you high, and there is no way the Christian Republicans would allow that! If E was legal it would be way less harmful, you would buy a pill from a company and you would know the exact dose of MDMA and that its not cut with shit like crystal meth. It should be legal but regulated by the FDA.

methylDMA (dont you all love how all the good chemical compounds start with an easy methyl.......?)
WHY?????....should a snotty nose rich kid( or a LICKASSS) be in charge????
soicety,capatilism? i dont know? THIS WORLD IS SCREWED!
WE all should be able to make or own choices which chemical we put in our bodys even though some RICH fukka is going to get our money be it alchoal,tobacco,meth,MDMA,mushies whatever their should be no such LAW that will get you crimilised.....
 
Funny that this topic should come up now. Im reading a book called High Scoiety by Ben Elton, a british comic and its about the legalization of drugs for the benefit of children and the elimination of underworld activity. Although i do agree that some drugs should not be used, i think that if they were manufactured proerly, at the very least we would all be a bit safer in feeding our habits. Ecstasy is definately one that should be legal, its not as heavy as heroin or crack and the only real danger is stupidity on the part of the taker. by legalizing and having real companies produce the pills we would be drastically cutting down on the dangers of taking E. Were almost there with weed... maybe one day.

And also, just to elinimate any bias, ive never taken E or any drugs other than an occasional joint...

MethyleneDioxyMethAmphetamine ;)
 
yeah mdma should defintaly be legal, people have only been dieing off it now that its illegal, as its the adulterants that make it dangerous.

Otherwise its less harmful than taking a bunch of painkillers, let people do what they want with their own boddies! XD
 
If you ask me "Should ecstasy be legal" is far to general of a question to get the correct answer. The real question is to what dagree should it be legal.

The benefits of using MDMA for people with a terminal illness is a no-brainer. People with deadly diseases arent worried in the slightest about the harm MDMA may or may not cause, so the good aspects far outweigh the bad.

However having MDMA as a legal drug to the point where you could pick it up over the counter would not be a good idea, at least not right away. People are so uninformed about the dangers and proper ways to use ecstasy these days that if it was legalized tommorow it would have catostrophic effects.

What needs to be done is to first legalize it in a clinical therapy setting, and for people with terminal illnesses. Then once the government propaganda wears off and people can see that ecstasy isnt the "killer drug" they've been led to believe it is you can start taking steps toward MDMA therapy for the general public. Safe drug use education should be mandatory before anyone is allowed to make the decision to do MDMA.

I think MDMA has huge benefits to offer mankind, but it is a very powerful substance and people that call for flat out legalization alongside other recreational drugs are living a fantasy. Its needs to be done in a responsible way, like anything else.

I couldn't agree more :)

As a responsible, tax paying adult, I should be able to decide what I put into MY body. I don't need some politician several hundred miles away telling me what is "good" for me.

On an idealistic level im a libertarian and think as long as you aren’t effecting the lives of others in a negative way you should be free to do as you please.

However ecstasy (and almost all psychoactive drugs for that matter) can be dangerous when misused, and while that in itself doesn’t warrant them being a controlled substance we must be careful when introducing the public to a drug they have long been deprived of. Most people know little to nothing about MDMA, and that general ignorance isn’t going to change overnight. If people without the proper knowledge start buying ecstasy legally for recreational use alongside other drugs then you're just asking for trouble.

The best solution is to introduce it for medical use. Then once it is legal conduct studies on it so people have the best information possible when deciding to use it. Teach harm reduction and safe drug use in schools instead of all the "Drug Free" garbage they have now, and in a few years you will have a society that has safer, cheaper, legal drugs. And the money spent on them will go private business and the government through taxes, not drug kingpins in other countries.
 
To Care,

You are right some people will get into trouble with MDMA but i bet it dont even get close to the amount of people who get hurt or killed or even wreck their lives through alcohol.
I agree with medical use it has great potential for so many peoples lives exp.traumatic stressed patients it will help them open up and talk about their traumatic event therefore lifting the weight of stress of the brain... im no psych but i know when i talk about something like that i feel better.
