Poll of the Day > Love Has Won has turned me off ecstacy forever

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like I've never done it but if you watch that documentary and see what one time doing ecstacy can do to you... Wew

I could have done it but never did, always seemed sketchy to me. I had no idea of the downsides though. What can it do to you?

apparently doing it one single time can rot your brain enough to convince you you're a god and it can rot other peoples' brains into believing it

So if I'm already a god then I should be fine?

Oh, "rot" isn't the word to use. "Cook" is the word. It causes hyperthermia in the body, including the brain. You know how a fever can cause brain damage? Yeah.

None for me thanks lol

Yeah, this is one of the reasons I'm not in the group that advocates for legalizing all drugs.

I had fun when I tried it. Wish I had planned it a little better. Work the next day was difficult, but no real regrets. Would try again.

I mean if other people wanna do it that's their choice. She really only hurt herself in the end

What? I'll advocate for any drug, even if I don't want to do it myself. If you aren't hurting anyone else with x then x should be legal.

This was years ago. No lasting effects.

Plenty of people use drugs and go on living just fine. We make a big deal when drug use goes wrong but we don't think about the countless people that do drugs and are fine, which likely outnumber these unfortunate incidents.

i think its more because they were in a cult and not the drugs so much but im not a psychologist

Yeah, I think this says a lot more about you than you think it does

There was a girl in one of my college courses whose name was Ecstacy

Is this that Cult with the dead mummified mum?

Which is really one of the reasons (controlled) legalization is a good thing: When the only drug users you hear about are addicts that overdose, that creates an inflated sense of risk that scares some people away, but also causes others to underestimate the real risk because they can dismiss it as selection bias and therefore just kind of make up what they want to believe about the risk. If usage is legal and doesn't have to be hidden (and especially if it happens in supervised consumption sites that help to regulate dosage and otherwise reduce harm), you can get a clear picture of what the risk actually is and make an informed decision about whether or not you want to take it. That's a lot better than having to guess one way or the other.

Of course, Covid demonstrated just how bad people are at risk analysis even with clear data available, so it's hard to say how much that would actually help. Still, I'd rather see people make poor choices because they suck at risk analysis than because they don't have the data available to analyze the risks.

drug use is degenerate behavior, and drug users are very fucking cringe

I'd guess that person was already ready to have their brain melt out their ears.

Wait, taking ecstasy will turn you into the dark brotherhood?
