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."

(, Wed 16 Feb 2011, 18:52, , Reply)
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.

Use deionised water (i.e. what they use to top up car batteries) and a perfectly smooth surface. Only stays like that for about 5-10 seconds though so mess is unavoidable.

This is a normal post As an ex 3D animator, a skeptic and someone with a basic understanding of physics...
I would say it's a (very well done) 3D animation - the only thing that gave it away to me was the caustic light effects.

The surface of the water appears to be rippling, yet the caustics (the refracted light dapples on the table) don't seem to change.

Either way - my analysis may be wrong - but he sure as shit didn't do it for real. Apart from anything else - the only thing that could create that effect would be the surface tension of the water, and the fact that it appears to be rippling tells me that it can't be.

I'm willing to bow to superior scientific knowledge however...
