But yes, from the point of view of potential damage to the user, ecstasy is actually safer than alcohol and fags, let alone pot, charlie or smack.
The whole system is a fucking fallacy anyway.
But anyway, this whole thing is a smoke screen, MDMA shouldnt be down graded to Class B, the whole fucking system should be changed and relatively safe drugs such as MDMA, LSD, mushrooms, cannabis, ketamine and others should be legally sold in government run chemists.
I was wondering... It says the deaths 'involve' the use of ecstasy... Does this mean the drug caused the death? or does it include poly drug use, drug driving, accidents? Does it mean MDMA, or dodgy pills?
Because it sounds pretty vague... I have never heard of anybody killed by a pill (E), apart from that girl Leah whatsherface who everyone goes on and on about. I used to take E and MDMA in clubs and don't get how it is any more dangerous than alcohol.
It does include poly drug use.
The case of Leah Betts could have easilly been avoided. With all the press at the time stating how dehydration was a major risk with the use of ecstasy, she thought she'd play it safe by drinking a large mount of water.
Drinkng far too much water is dangerous and this isn't helped with ecstasy being an anti-diuretic.
Flood your system with too much water and your salt levels drop dramatically, to dangerous levels. This is more of a problem for women apparently.
Peope do die from taking ecstasy, but most of those deaths coudl have been avoided. What is clear is that ecstasy isn't as dangerous or as socially damaging as most drugs, especially not the drugs it's currently classed with. IT means the whoel classification system is a bit of a joke.
Britains most dangerous drugs.

drugs system is a joke, how you can even attempt to compare ecstasy to the likes of crack and heroin is beyond me.
Regulated doses of MDMA do have a very slight risk of death, however that isnt how the drug is currently used. When its mixed with caffiene, alcohol...etc. it adds to the risks.
Leah Betts was, sadly killed because of ignorance, she drank (was given) too much water and it killed her, she did not need to die.
The recreational use of MDMA is significantly safer than horse riding or mountain climbing.
Having said that though there does need to be more research on the possible long term harms, and it should never be used by those under 18.
Sorry I dont understand what you mean at all.
lol im sencing sarcasm
If thats the case then I'm not sure I agree. I dont think that legal supply of recreational drugs would have very much impact on mental health services at all. Use is unlikely to change and anyway substance abuse is not often the primary reason why someone has mental health problems.
:yes:
