When I said that tobacco smoke does not descriminate, I meant that it causes
dammage to *everybody* who smokes it.Yes, you are right that the dammage varies
from person to person (some get cancer/some don't), based on *many* other factors, but the simple fact remains that tobbacco smoke dammages the lungs in specific ways.And no drugs do *not* descriminate (please let me
clarify). It is obvious that the psychological
effects of all these drugs vary from person
to person, but the drugs still has specific
non-descriminatory actions and targets (Just like baking soda and vinegar will aways react) The end result, of course depends on the levels of many other brain chemicals. It is a mathematical equasion, with numerous factors yes (but a mathemaical equasion nonetheless)
Like I said previously, just because your friends appear fine, does not mean they did not suffer dammage. The dammage can be anywhere from 'next to zilch' to highly observable serotogenic dammage. Because the damage is very specific to the serotogenic system, I do doubt that the dammage is due to hyperthermia.I am not preaching in any way at all. I am just presenting the tip of the ever growing body of evidence cautioning against Ex use.
If the people on this board truely believed that MDMA caused "no dammage" and was without consequence, then there would be a lot more people
taking MDMA in the morning than prozac.
Even if it hasn't been proven 'conclusivly' in human studies, is it really advantagious to take the risk? Remember, the rat brains that are showing that MDMA does dammage 5HT neurons are the same breed of rats that are testing and identifying the newest antidepressants.I do mean well.
