in normal hospitals they give opium
(morfine)

Morphine tends to knock out the consumer or render them otherwise unable to interact with others. MDMA allows the consumer to spend quality time with their loved ones.

Sounds good.

But I reckon if it's really that efficient it would be legal in European hospitals, or a variant. Maybe it is. Many pretty amazing drugs are legal if you have the right prescription here.

There's a lot of politics involved. In the US, the popular drugs are considered satanic and thus banned for religious reasons.

I wouldn't say the ecstasy happy is fake. The drug simply releases all the seretonin in your brain at once. If you have no seritonin, the drug doesn't work. It makes you feel more comfortable, and safe generally. Which is why you can be completly honest, there are no consequences.

in short, it's awesome but I wouldn't want to be addicted to it

True...

But even clinically depressed people can have enough circulating serotonin for MDMA to elicit a positive effect. Long term abuse has been proven to have a negative impact on mood which is why it's bad to get addicted like you said. There are cardiac concerns as well but I think the effects on brain chemistry are the most profound.

Are there people with no serotonin at all? I didn't know that, but I suppose I hadn't researched it too deeply.

Ecstasy is a great drug, but like any other it needs to be respected. A sleeping pitbull won't do anything to you if you show respect. Key.

there can be times when your body is completly out of it. your body just hasn't produced any. Some anti depressants stimulate the creation of seretonin.

Matt, moderation is all fun and games until someone sells you poison.

Far too many cases in my hometown of kids "chemistry students" producing their own crap MDMA and selling it to people and people die on the spot or have to be taken into the hospital. It's impossible to know what you are buying unless u have a prescription, and u go to a pharmacy and get the pills with a box and a brand that you can sue when things go wrong.

Otherwise you're just putting your health in the hands of some no good beatniks.

I'm happy as fuck and I can party from dusk till dawn without it so you can keep it.
