This is a link post New study finds no cognitive impairment among ecstasy users
"Past research has suggested that ecstasy users perform worse than nonusers on some tests of mental ability. But there are concerns that the methods used to conduct that research were flawed, and the experiments overstated the cognitive differences between ecstasy users and nonusers.

In response to those concerns, a team of researchers has conducted one of the largest studies ever undertaken to re-examine the cognitive effects of ecstasy, funded by a $1.8 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and published today in the journal Addiction. The study was specifically designed to minimize the methodological limitations of earlier research."

an interesting article

This is a normal post its not the cognitive impairment you need to worry about.
ITS THAT MASSIVE SPIDER ON YOUR SHOULDER!

or rather the loss of spinal fluid from your back... Ecstasy is not friendly on the back and spine.

This is a normal post It hasn't.
But it has been positively DISproven as a load of confused bunk. The myth arose as a result of experiments into ecstasy users where spinal fluid was deliberately drained from the subjects for examination.

Somewhere in translation to the masses, this became "Ecstasy drains your spinal fluid."

It would be amusing if so much information about illegal drugs weren't so similarly distorted by panicky hearsay.

I want a serious study on marijuana and the effects on chronic illnesses , but the truth is most studies are far from independant or objective from the source of the funding from big industry
