The LD50 of MDMA is stated to be 80mg/kg of bodyweight, and "at least 50 or 60 good pills" at a weight of 70 kg.
First off, the LD50 for MDMA in humans isn't even known, and implying anything else is a disservice.
Secondly, and more importantly, whatever the LD50 is, it's certainly known to be FAR less then that. The DEA, and various other sources, guesses it to be somewhere in the range of 10 to 20 mg per kg bodyweight. Assuming a "good pill" is 100 mg, that would make 7 to 14 pills the LD50 for someone of 70 kg, or approximately 154 pounds.
Telling users that 50 or 60 is the lethal point is essentially telling them that 7 to 14 isn't, and that is extremely dangerous.
