Thread: Ecstasy on the Rise...What's your take? :D

Check out the ABC documentary HERE

At first, I thought this documentary would've been done with a right-ist slant, but was surprised to see it was actually done from an impartial perspective. Laying out all the myths and facts out clearly, and indisputable. My question is; With all the facts out there on this wonderful drug, WHY is it still considered a class 1 drug by the DEA, up there with cocaine and heroine. I honestly fail to see the need to ban a drug that causes people to enact postitive changes into their life long after they've stopped using it. Not to mention, with all the government propagandized lies surrounding this, and many other drugs, how can anyone take what the government has to say about their anti-drug campaign even the slightest bit seriously?

Perfect example; Had I not taken it, I most likely wouldn't have taken the time to understand the music I now love so much and wouldn't have ever been motivated enough to go out and buy my first set of turntables which has now led me down the route of music production and sound engineering. I don't actively use the drug to the level I used to, since it is nearly impossible to find for a decent price in Japan, but still have good memories and experiences with this drug. Ones that I can recall upon and get chills from by simply listening to a good tune.

Also, please don't bother commenting unless you've watched the documentary, or at the very least, can separate the actual facts from the government propaganda.
