[SPOILER="My experience"]Positive:
- No hunger whatsoever
At one point I was taking it multiple times a day (which is NOT good), and because of this I comfortably went days without eating. I'm pretty fat, so I actually loved this. The downside was I was very nauseated and even the thought of eating made me gag.
- Amazing mood
I don't think I've ever felt happier than on MDMA, you want to move constantly and it makes you feel like you could conquer Europe . You want to listen to upbeat music and dance. If someone insults you or something happens that would normally upset you it completely rolls off your back and you don't give a fuck.
- You want to fuck like a rabbit.
If you were in a relationship that was sexually dead like I was, this completely fixed our problem. However if you are male it can make your dick stop working. As a female this wasn't an issue for me.
Negatives:
-Thirst
Jesus fucking Christ I was so fucking thirsty and all of the water in the world would not quench it. Both dehydration and over-hydration are a real threat. Don't drink enough and you will have heat stroke. Drink too much and it can cause brain damage. This thirst is extremely uncomfortable, and unless you know better it is very easy to over drink.
-Nausea
This never went away throughout the entire experience. It is not something that you can easily ignore either. Puking is constantly a concern unless you don't mind messing up your friend's fabric couch.
-High heart rate
This is ultimately why I stopped using.
After several dozen times taking the drug my tolerance had become quite high, and because of this I would have to take a lot. This made it pretty easy for me to take too much and the last time I took it I felt like I was dying. I ended up on my front lawn being held down by my friends because I wanted to go to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. It was one of the scariest things I've ever gone through.
-Depression
I already suffer from depression as it is, and the "hang over" is quite long and you feel like the world is falling apart. You're so fatigued you just want to lie on a couch and sleep it off. You sweat like a bitch for no reason and this lasts for what feels like a lifetime. It lasted about a week for me.
-You talk fast and say EVERYTHING that comes to mind
From experience this is not a good thing, I have said some stupid, embarrassing, and hurtful things while on MDMA.
Conclusion:
I do not recommend this because if you are not careful it can be very dangerous, and the hang over is definitely not worth it even though the feeling was amazing.[/SPOILER]

MDMA raises the bar of existing unlike any other drug in the world. Just be carful not to get that bar permanently stuck so high that you need it to have fun. Truly the greatest party accessory there is, and the more people on it the merrier. Keep it under ten times a year and you'll be fine. Look for white / amber glass shards. I don't recommend the colorful pressed pills with the symbol / marking on them. They are almost never 100% pure or else they would just cap them in clear capsules. Buy a cheap test kit at any head shop. Start with 0.1g and work your way up. If it tastes like poison then that is a good sign. Make sure you have dance music, water and gum. Give each other back/neck massages. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend make sure you have sex. Take 5-HTP (an *amino acid* that is a precursor to serotonin) and an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) the next day to alleviate the 'hangover'.
Dance Safe!"

Why do people need to find other things to do? If I can drink beer, they can use ecstasy as far as I am concerned. Of course if they get wasted on them then that's not exactly a mark of honour, as it never is.
And there are situations where you may just have to need drugs. People severely wounded in combat aren't the only ones who would suffer greatly without them, though the percentage of those people is probably really really low - and no, I am not talking about people who need the drugs because they're already addicted. Overuse is very problematic and too widespread, but a different issue.

What if it gives you the strength to attempt to unfuck your life, or to go through with it until you're at a point where it's actually practicable?

I don't really care about the effects of drugs on other people, positive or negative.
If you use drugs-stay away from me. You drink beer and that disgusts me as well but i'll let you do it. If you want to get in on some krok, i'll let you do that too. Bullet to the brain? If suicide wasn't an ultimatum, would that give people strength too?

Suicide is an ultimatum though so that bears no practical relevance here. Pretty sure the damage from getting a bullet in your head is more severe than very moderage drug use too - without any discernible positive side effects.
If you drink beer moderately enough the cumulative damage on any part of your body is probably no higher than the damge from breathing in oxygen. You also don't kill people driving if you use it responsibly. There is no reason to be disugsted by the notion of just drinking beer or consuming anything else. Does eating sweets also disgust you? Eating chocolate products? Red meat? There is a difference between overindulgence and moderate consumption, in everything.

If you need drugs, get prescribed them. I don't promote any recreational uses of drugs. That's my stance.

Except that never happens because the people who use that excuse become addicted and end up fucking up their life even worse than it already was. Plus this in particular is clearly stated to be a "party" drug, and parties have nothing to do with unfucking your life.
In the end though, I just don't give enough fucks. I used to try and make people realize how retarded they were being, but they tend to have incredibly thick skulls and a hatred for logical reasoning skills. So be it. People have every right to destroy their lives with drugs, alcohol, crime, etc. as long as it doesn't affect other people. But at the same time I'm not going to be hanging out with Jolly Mr. Crackhead from down the street.

So while some people here are defending drug use/abuse.
Remember that each individual neuron in your brain can hold up to thousands of terabytes of information each. Killing off valuable neurons is like pissing on the motherboard of an alienware computer.
Most people I've seen get into drugs either end up homeless, nearly homeless, doomed with low income, jail, out of jail with a criminal record, or dead. You may deny it, there may be the odd few people who get into that stuff and nothing happens. However for the most part, it's a gradual descent into a shithole of a life. The obliviousness that narcotics presents you, blinds you from reality, and life will be much, much worse after your little trippy charade closes to a stupid end.
You can rot away all your neurons, and choke your brain of oxygen, it's all cool, fun fun in the sun. But when shit hits the fan, it'll be your fault, not anyone elses. Also trust me, you'll be blaming everyone else for your mistakes.

>fucking your life up and ending up homeless
Wat
Like I've said the biggest concern I have with this drug is overheating, depression, dehydration, over hydration, and y'know having a fucking heart attack. I think your brain is the least of your concern if you only use it a few times a year. For the reasons I mentioned above is why it's not worth doing because those are immediate risks you are taking. It is very difficult to become addicted to MDMA, but it is possible and your tolerance will go up over time making it pretty easy to take too much. My biggest mistake while experience with this? Taking it for like a week consecutively.
This is why I do not recommend it.
Also comparing someone who occasionally drinks beer to a crackhead is silly
I dislike drug use because it has fucked my life up but the war on drugs is fucking retarded and the fact it is illegal to consume substances of your choice doesn't make any sense.
I don't think these substances should be readily available in stores, but if you're caught with them you shouldn't be sent to jail.
"yo dawg i heard you were fucking your life up so we fucked your life up permanently so you don't fuck your life up"
Why isn't junk food illegal?
Why aren't cigarettes illegal?
Why isn't alcohol illegal?
Oh that's right prohibition is fucking stupid that's why.
If you smoke cigs and condemn MDMA you make me laugh.

This. You're wasting money on substances of questionable legality to have a few hours of escapism. Might as well just keep playing Mabinogi, at least that won't land you in prison.

This. There are millions of ways to have a great time on a tight budget without doing anything illegal, immoral, or fattening. Its time to find a hobby I think.

This.
These things are considered bad for good reason, as they lead to disaster more often than not.
Exceptions exist of course, but most of the time the end result is disaster.
Just don't do it.

Drugs are illegal. I can give you a damn good reason. Not everyone reacts the same way to drugs, what may give someone a nice high, can make someone murderous.
Yes lets have people do drugs illegally, when someone bites your fucking face off because someone did bath salts, then you realize why there are sanctions. Alcohol is tougher because it's so ingrained in society, also it doesnt have that bad of rampant effects. The only big thing is drunk driving, and driving hasnt been around that long in comparison to alchohol's length.
I dont drink, so i am not defending it, just trying to be unbiased
