The "scientist" who took those pictures of a brain on MDMA messed up and fed his paitents pure methanphetamine aka "glass" or "ice". In most parts people who do crappy bathtub meth never even know such stuff exsists. One year on meth is slightly equal to one year of being into alzheimers (sp) as far as brain function, and the damage compounds. MDMA has never been proven to be toxic any more than asprin. Most of the few "XTC deaths" occured due to mixing drugs, dehydration, ect. and then for propaganda purposes they blame it on E. There's a german scientist who I believe took 25 pills a day for a year, around 9000 pills, and discovered no damage. I am NOT ADVOCATING drug use, ESPECIALLY AMONG CHILDREN!! However the war on drugs is a farce and has been one of the major downfalls of American society IMO. That and I hate untrue propaganda.
