Study shows ecstasy's agony

who mE? said:
There are 3 types of average: Mean, Median and Mode.

The use of the phrase "of the non-stop binges" implies that this statistic was derived from a SUBSET of the full set of people studied. No mention is made of the size of this subset, but it is quite likely that out of
there were 3 idiots who responded that they HAD binged on ecstasy for over 24 hours, one of whom said he binged for 36 hours, one who claimed to binge for 84 hours, and the prankster of the bunch who bragged about his 10 day binge on his survey form.

Thus 84 hours is quite obviously the MEDIAN length of the binges reported.

Now the one thing in life which depresses me more than any other is the fact that the vast majority of humanity is willing to blindly accept as truth a 2nd-hand non-scientific scare-story by a biased reporter rather than to find the original research for themselves. It took 2 seconds to enter "Party Drugs Initiative" into my desktop search bar, and find on the first page of google's results this link to the ORIGINAL STUDY performed by the group, and links to much of their other research!

Read it for yourselves, and see what was REALLY learned by surveying 100 victorian regular (>1/month) ecstasy users. We all know that until either drugs or humanity no longer exist there will be scare-stories published in the media to spoon-feed those lazy sheep out there, so in my opinion, articles such as these are not novel enough to belong on the front-page, but the release of a new, highly publicised scientific study by a major govt funded organization that can provide a new perspective on a certain subset of drug-culture and the avoidable harms and risks which they are undertaking IS novel enough to belong on the front-page.

I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to see more scientific studies like the primary source for this article on the front-page, and fewer idiotic secondary sources that are sure to inspire a bunch of :X faced replies. Maybe we could actually foster some new discussion and insight about the harms and benefits of MDMA and other drugs, and how to benefit those who choose to use them.

Hear hear :D
 
Ecstamasy users report vivid hallucinations of demonic figures come to earth's surface to tear the living fetus out of unborn mothers' wombs. This is a side effect of the many adulterants in the drug, which are also forms of ecstasy. Drug dealers pump the pills with addictive substances (similar to the way we pump tobacco cigarettes filled with addictive additives) to hook their users fast, and give them night terrors so that they belive ecstasy is their only escape. Eventually, a nervous breakdown occurs and the user begins slashing at innocent bystanders with large knives. Also, ecstasy has a side effect called "hypernaterthermia" which causes the stomach to implode and regurgitate itself out of the users mouth, turning the entire esophogus and eventually inner body cavity inside out. This side effect has been proven to be fatal in many cases, and one in four users experiences it at underground dance parties known as "raves" and in shopping malls.

The Wood - source for that article? The regurgitated/inside out stomach insides were particularly fascinating. 8) Dear God, I must start paying better attention - possibly this has been happening to me, and I've never noticed (darn, where's the rolling on floor with laughter smilie)
 
allot of that article is shit, however I do kinda believe some of it. I myself have done what was said to be ectasy for 7 days in a row, taking about one - two pills a day. The person that sold it to me said it was ectasy, but if it was it was some of the shitiest I've done. It never gave me the same feeling of the pills, I had previously done. The what I like to call "I wanna fall" feeling. I am very, extremely different from everyone else. I've seen & heard things, things that would sound unbelievable, but they are vary true.

things I am not allowed to speak of. God Damned the rightous hand...
 
^^ rofl dude if you take ecstasy more than one day in a row it isn't going to have the same effect on you, and by the seventh day it's probably going to have next to no effect ecept for maybe increased heart rate etc. I can't tell if your whole post was a joke or not.
