Why do so many people take MDMA?

I have never felt a desire to take this, or any other drug, at any stage of my life - clubbing or otherwise.

Frankly, I find it unbelievable the amount of people on this forum who openly admit they have taken it and then go on to depict their experience as 'awesome' or the 'best of my life.'

In my humble opinion, I regard you all as a bunch of druggies. Go ahead and try and disprove me with your baffle on how the drug works.

As an aside, Profesh my estimations of you have decreased substantially after reading your posts.

Whats your opinion on alcohol?

Actually, I do.



Meaningless statistics with no source.



Yes, I'm sure that's what they call it. What's baffling is that you quote your 'over 50%' statistic and then conclude that I therefore think that 'everyone' is a druggie. What school did you go to where they taught you that 50% is everyone?

Maybe it's the drugs messing with your head, son. Who's the ignorant **** now?

It's a legal 'drug' which people also take to try to ensure their night out is better.

I also feel that it is completely and utterly overused in conversation between people in University: "Aw, I was smashed at the weekend", is a common example. You will hear it from the same people week in, week out. It tends to get very repetitive.

I'm not against alcohol as it is legal and in all honesty I do drink, myself, on rare occassion. However, I like to look after my body, being a footballer and tend to find that it's just not worth the hangover/extra gym time for something I get little reward from. Not only that, but unlike a lot of people in my university I actually give a **** about getting a 1st in a decent subject and I am not just there for the laugh.

Why you ask?

I completely agree with you . If we were supposed to feel the way these drugs make you feel then why were we not born with the capability of feeling that way? I'm very much someone who can't remember the last time they had alcohol / caffeine etc, I'm all for non-processed foods and things.

you get used to it eventually though....but of course its never the same

As for 'Don't diss it, till you've tried it' - Don't worry I lead a perfectly happy life and don't need any drugs to attempt to make a ****ty life seem okay for a while.

Yup...I was quite seriousley injured recently, and while I was on all the medication, of course I wasn't taking anything else.
Even once I was off the prescriptions, I still went for a while without any heavy nights out or substance use... and I remember going for our usual night and just thinking how surreal it all was - experiencing it sober was a shock. haha.
It was still fun, but definitley not the same as when you're frazzled on stuff c;



Funnily enough, the majority of people don't use drugs to 'make a ****ty life seem okay for a while' - well certainly me or any of my mates don't.
We do it simply because it's an enjoyable experience. Some people enjoy cooking and eating cupcakes. Well...we enjoy taking pills and having a belter time.
Yes yes...ones a legal activity and one is illegal. But it's still the same principle - we do it for pleasure, not for masking the reality.

What you're describing is the stereotypical view of drug users - pathetic, addicted **** ups who need a way to escape the **** they are. Well...it's not all like that.






As for this statement - funny but I'm a 2nd year medic and guess what? I'm on a 1st at the moment. Averaging 83.4%
So I guess the fact that I'm a drug user doesn't necessarily make me a failiure. One can always achieve a balance.
