For two years, he took five tablets every weekend, rising to an average of 3.5 tablets per day for the next three years, then soaring to 25 tablets a day over the next four years.
Haha crazy eh? At least some of the long term heavy user effects are known now i guess.

speaking of retarded people who fuck up their bodies... Did anyone see the video of the guy who injected his manhood with silicone over the course of six years?

He says "I can no longer penetrate... but the long term pleasure I get from this is far better than the 15 minutes..."

How can you get pleasure if you can't penetrate a woman? I don't understand.

And yea, the ecstasy guy sounds like a world class idiot. TBH though, the effects he has don't sound as bad as I imagined they would be. After that much use, and the way ecstasy is said to damage the brain, I was expecting to read that he was a vegetable unable to function anymore.

They said the hallucinations, paranoia and anxiety attacks went away after he stopped smoking weed.

the guy also did LSD, cocaine and HEROIN. plus in almost all xtc pills there is also speed and other shit, so to say all his symptoms are from use of xtc isn't quite right.
tbh i thought the effects would be far more severe, this isn't very dramatic for someone who has been using this shit for so long(and lots of other stuff probably).

Wow that's incredible. You have to keep in mind though this guy REALLY over did it, you know, you could kill yourself drinking too much water but you don't see us banning water anytime soon.

But seriously this guy did a lot of other drugs, cocaine being one of them. I know enough about MDMA to know you don't mix it with Cocaine. The dopamine really fucks with the depleted seratonin cells causing irreperable damage. I'm not trying to advocate the use of either drug either but on a recreational basis I'd say xtc is still a pretty safe drug as long as you know all you're taking is MDMA and not a bunch of other shit mixed with MDMA, which is really tough to figure out without a testing kit.

But that being said, I've done E before over the course of a summer or so, it's not addictive, otherwise I'd still be doing it, which I do once in a rare while now though. But if you let your body regenerate I don't think you'll suffer any adverse effects.

Unless you start mixing stuff, I don't do cocaine though. Just smoke canabis. :)

That's my point. It doesn't matter what it is, too much of anything is bad for you.

Reading too many of your posts is known to cause frustration and, in rare cases, stupidity by association.

I'm guessing "Mr. X" was too much of a cliche.

Seems somewhat of a plonker to me, but at least he enjoyed himself I guess.
