essay on the safety of E

My housemate is studying physiology, and she has been set an essay on something like "the safety of taking ecstasy" (and no, I'm not making it up ). First off, I wish I got essays like that on my course! My most recent one was on defenses against fungal infection :rolleyes:
So anyway, does anyone know of any well-known studies that have been done into the effects of E? I mean proper peer-reviewed stuff, not surveys done by mixmag or whatever. I have heard of some, but if there are any that you lot could think of (or even provide links for) I'm sure she'll be quite happy...thanks!
By the way, I'm hoping I can be a lab rat so she can experiment on me

And I dont get paid for it either.
I've got a few other ones which are interesting, if I email them to you LadyJade will you stick them up?
I'm always nice to you M'Lady (dips hat).
You're always a creep.
Nothing wrong in being nice to such a lovely creature as LadyJade.
Such a suck up.
He was being rude about you miss.
Yes miss, no miss, three bags full miss. :yeees:
When you were a nipper a bet you were oen of those kids who brought in an apple everyday for his teacher.
There's always a risk, but if your sensible then it doesn't carry more risk than some sports or physical activities.
"fuck up" how? Like lying on a sofa trying to chew your eyebrow off "fucked up" or being ill "fucked up" Ecstacy is probably one of the safest drugs out there, very few people die a year because of it. It does wreck your head though after constant use.
It's relatively safe if you follow the "rules" (stay within a reasonable level of fluid consumption, take long chill-out periods if you're dancing etc)
I've never known anyone who's just taken it once though. Most people go through a period of doing it regularly (the 'honeymoon period') before it becomes a bit boring and use tails off.
One thing which is certainly worth noting is the possibility of depression if you're doing it regularly.
I apologise for sounding like a broken record, but it isn't safe, relatively or not.
No, it actually is relatively safe. There's no such thing as safe drug use but there is a such thing as relatively safe and dangerous drug use.
It would it's relatively safe in comparrison to Sky Diving or Rock Climbing.
If you take a reasonable dose, drink the right amount and take it nice & easy then yes, although there is increased physical pressure on the body and possible lasting effects on brain chemistry, occasional sensible use by a young, healthy person usually isn't such a problem compared to coke, meth etc. It isn't as bad as the portrayal by much of the press suggests, that's for sure.
The depressive potential is a serious concern imho. As is often said, people who do E are effective guinea-pigs.
I'd recommend somebody considering doing it does proper objective research on the drug and make an informed choice, as with anything.
