I don't want to be the controlling boyfriend who tells him to stop taking it as I don't think anyone really has the right to tell anyone to stop taking a certain drug,

Like you, I don't think anyone has the right to tell others what they will or will not do with their body. HOWEVER, I DO think it is fair and reasonable for you to tell him that at a certain level drug taking becomes a deal breaker for you.

I would find out everything bad about it, then explain that is as good as it gets.
I left a boyfriend years ago because of his addiction (which he denied) I told him, I didn;t care what he did when he wasn't around me as long as it didn't effect being around me. And it did. I gave him a choice (what you do to children - choices makes them feel empowered) I said call me when you've been off that garbage for 30 days then call me.
nearly 3 years went by when I saw him. skinny, gaunt,a void in his eyes and trembling. He lost a car and a rather nice job at MTV but still, slowly destroying his body and mind. He barely recognized me.
FFW. Saw him a couple years ago. He's clean and cleaned up. At the time he'd done 8 months Narconon.
I miss many of the fun times we spent together, and in the end, that's what YOUR life is about - enjoying the time you spend together, with whomever. If you are not, suggest Narconon, be strong, determined and wish him well.

Ok so I have had a lot of experience with this drug. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I used to be part of a hippy artistic community who used to get together and do MDMA and a host of all other drugs in western Canada.

It got to the point where I was doing it on every weekend, and it does start to take it's toll on you physically and emotionally. My problem is that I have an addictive personality, and the feeling you get off on doing this drug is like no other. The real kicker though is the feeling of openness and the connection you feel with others when on the drug. You can talk to a stranger like you've known them your whole life. That can be more addicting than any other drug I've ever done.

Now before I go down the after school special about how bad drugs are, and how they ruin your life. I want to clarify some things. Compared to other drugs, MDMA is not that destructive. Done in MODERATION and the right setting, it can be a great experience, and allow you to reflect on a number of issues in your life more objectively because you can reflect without feeling anxious or any negative emotion. Some of the best times of my life has been going to a festival or party on this drug. I also met professionals who do it in moderation and have stable and successful lives.

I had a roommate who's mom had died and had a lot of issues he never addressed about it. He took MDMA and it helped him come out of his shell. The problem was he started to take it all the time. One of the side effects was that he had a bad come down during the week and confided to me he was having suicidal thoughts. The downer that happens when the drug wears off can be feelings of depression that varies from person to person. In the end it's not healthy to put that on your body on a regular basis.

In the end I don't have anything against MDMA. I actually think the world would be a better place if everyone took it from time to time. My problem was never the drug, it was how much I was taking it. I don't think anyone could have made me stopped, I had to stop when I was ready. I know if I kept it up it would not lead me to anything glamorous and possibly somewhere dark, but my life is not ruined because of it.

Isn't that the stuff that literally eats holes in your brain?


Nope, It doesn't eat holes in your brain. What it does, is, with chronic, heavy use, it dumps so much of the "feel good" chemicals like Dopamine, Seratonin, and Norepinepherine into your brain, that your brain cells can't handle it. What that does, is, it causes the brain cells and receptors to shrivel, making them look melted.

So, no, X doesn't Eat Holes in your brain, it Melts it.

MDMA isn't terribly harmful on its own. It does not burn holes in your brain like the old ads would have you think. On MDMA you will overload yourself with seretonin and feel great, and afterwards your seretonin levels and reuptake will be messed up for about a week and you will feel kind of off. Unfortunately alot of the ecstasy pills are cut with other drugs like meth, cocaine and even heroin which can make them very very dangerous.

MDMA is one of the safest cleanest drugs u can do physically, emotionally and mentally. its out of you body within hours, u cant get violent or angry and it allows you to express what you normally couldnt. and it feels great
