Hmm, should XTC be legal. In a few minds about this. On one hand, the drug itself can be dangerous from an OD point of view. On the other hand, most (if not all deaths) have resulted from either adulterents or people being muppets while they're up (drinking 3 gallons of water and the like). I reckon with education, regulation it should be legal. Plus the government can tax it and make money. I feel this way about all drugs, the government should supply so it can regulate them, and it can make money from them. However, this has got to be combined with intensive education so people don't go out and swallow 20 pills and die.
I've only taken X once, and it was good apart from coming up and down, when I felt like complete crap (nausea, paranoia coz I was really cold. Turns out it was just the guy's apartment being cold). While I was up it was great, talking is fantastic, you feel really excited about what you're saying and what other people are saying. You do have deep compassion for other people, one girl was stuggling having a bad(ish) trip, and I felt so sorry for her. I think in low doses it's a great drug, in social situations. Not sure about higher doses, or about clubbing on X. I'd miss the talking I think.
