[B]MDMA Does not cause brain damage[/B] :
[quote]There is no evidence that ecstasy causes brain damage, according to one of the largest studies into the effects of the drug. Too many previous studies made over-arching conclusions from insufficient data, say the scientists
responsible for the research, and the drug's dangers have been greatly exaggerated.
The finding will shock campaigners who have claimed ecstasy poses a real risk of triggering brain damage. They have argued that it can induce memory loss, decrease cognitive performance and has long-lasting effects on behaviour.
But experts who have argued that the drug is relatively safe welcomed the new paper. "I always assumed that, when properly designed studies were carried out, we would find ecstasy does not cause brain damage," said Professor David
Nutt, who was fired as chair of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs by Alan Johnson, then home secretary, for publicly stating alcohol and tobacco were more harmful than ecstasy.

[B]Average Brit Spends £58,201 ($93,000) On Booze Over A Lifetime And Has 726 Hangovers [/B]
[quote]Over an average British person's lifetime, 5,800 pints of beer are consumed, plus 8,700 glasses of wine, 2,900 bottles of cider, 5,808 shots of spirits, 1,452 cocktails, 1,452 glasses of liquor, and 1,452 glasses of champagne - the
equivalent of 456 drinks annually. The typical Brit also experiences 726 hangovers over a lifetime. £962 are spent annually on alcohol, or £58,201 ($93,000) by the time they die. [/quote]

[B]Antipsychotic drugs could shrink patients' brains[/B]
[quote]drugs shrink patients' brains would, one might think, suggest only one course of action: stop prescribing them. But the matter turns out to be much more complicated, according to research published today in Archives of General
Psychiatry on the effects of antipsychotic drugs in people with schizophrenia1.
In the past 15 years, research has indicated that people with schizophrenia have smaller cerebral volumes than the general population, and that this reduction is particularly large in 'grey-matter' structures, which contain the cell
bodies of neurons. For instance, one meta-analysis points to 5–7% reductions in the size of the amygdala, hippocampus and parahippocampus2, which are all involved in memory storage and retrieval.
But scientists have debated whether the decrease is caused by the disease alone, or whether powerful antipsychotic drugs also have a role. According to the latest findings, the more antipsychotics patients receive, the more likely they
are to have a decreased amount of grey matter.[/quote]

addicted to some sort of drug.

[B]Bodyguard for the Brain: Researchers Identify Mechanism That Seems to Protect Brain from Aging[/B]
[quote]Researchers from the Universities of Bonn and Mainz have discovered a mechanism that seems to protect the brain from aging. In experiments with mice, they switched off the cannabinoid-1 receptor. As a consequence, the animals showed signs of degeneration -- as seen in people with dementia -- much faster.[/quote]
*In short, mices without this receptor aged much faster (genetically removed) - so deactivating that receptors gets you older faster.
**Cannabis activates this receptor - but also activates others, so it may or may be not suited for this task.

No it won't. Their arguments have always been baseless, facts and studies aren't going to change that.

I don't know about this. My town back in America is having a huge phase of ecstasy. I have never touched it because what I've seen from it. The things they talk about are some of the most boring stupidest unintelligent discussions. Being around them gives me 50 facepalms a night. I fuck with a lot of them, say something really stupid or it doesn't make sense at all and they agree with it then I turn around and laugh really hard. I told this one girl "Oh yeah lets get ecstasy and feel each other!" And she was like "Oh fuck yeah dude, I'm down". And proceeded with really long stories about the best X trips she has had and the stories were so flat and dumb. Mind you she is chubby and black.

let me summarize: this druggie girl was down to have sex with me but i had to do something illegal so i pussied out drugs suck.
ps there arent ecstasy phases
She was black and chubby, I was not down. She says she loves the feel of being touched and likes to move her hands like she's in water. The way she describes her love for it just sounds ridiculously stupid. Her vocab is as minimal as I could get from a person.
Drugs like these are dumb and a waste of time. I'm guessing by your avatar your some kind of acid/ecstasy type of guy so you are offended.
Oh okay master drug man, there isn't a phase. Just a lot of people switching from smoking weed to taking tabs and then going back to weed after a year or two. Not a phase nope

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;31860542]Cannabis has the potential to prevent neural degradation? Hmm, interesting.[/QUOTE]
Uhm. We don't need a plant for this. It's already going on, hence the receptors. It just so happens that a plant also produces the same substance.
So they removed the receptors and mice's brains degraded much faster.
You should understand your body has all kinds of mechanisms to keep your body healthy. The most obvious one is the ability to heal wounds, but you for example also use minerals to compensate for an acidic diet. Which is how you go fat, because those minerals kept you among other things, from going fat.
[QUOTE=Gekkosan;31860585]that's not what it says[/QUOTE]
The substance that is also in Cannabis prevents neural degradation or in another term, aging. But Cannabis works a bit different. It kills neurons, but bad, degraded ones. And at same time it spawns new neurons. That's why person smoking too much cannabis seems brain damaged - it isn't. It's new neurons just have to re-learn stuff and person will be able to function normally but different. That may sound bad, but it isnt... why? Look, if your functions and personality never change, you get old. It's simply as that. Cannabis has been used as medication for centuries, all sort of diseases, including mental ones.
In my experience, smoking too much cannabis might make you a bit childish - younger and a bit stupidier. But young neurons learn faster, because they don't have function determined... yet.
Or, look in simpler term. Kill bad babies, and spawn new ones. Repeat. The only babies that will stay, are good ones.

Stories about alcohol were dumb too until I tried it.
Also, abuse of anything will make person dumb, even computer will turn you dumb if you sit too much on it - also, don't take this as an insult, it's not directed to you!
And MDMA is MDMA. That doesn't mean that in ecstasy pill you will get MDMA. You can get tons of other chemical that can fry your brains nicely =D. Meth, Amph, 4-MMC, Piperazine, mCpp...

I think it is quite opposite, once you experience sex on MDMA, you just have new skills to turn average sex into ecstatic one. After all, deep experiences burn into your memory, that also counts for drug experiences. You don't forget how to dive, do you?

Fapping on MDMA was awesome. Can't wait to have sex on it.
Ecstasy is not MDMA, Ecstasy around here is cut with all sorts of shit, you normally only get 50% MDMA and other shit that could possibly be dangerous, get pure MDMA powder if you desire to do that.

[editline]21st August 2011[/editline]
much like crack is a nickname for freebase cocaine
[editline]21st August 2011[/editline]
and what makes you think your mdma crystals/powder whatever aren't cut.
Street ecstasy wouldn't be so goddamn unsafe if it was legal. Just saying.
[quote]ecstasy is a nickname for mdma[/quote]
No, MDMA is in ecstasy much like THC is in marijuana, the MDMA is just usually cut with some bullshit like meth.
