Actually constant and heavy use of Ecstacy will eventually cause severe brain damage, but you need to use it a LOT. I do not remember exactly, but I believe it deprives the brain of seratonin. IANABC-I Am Not A Bio-Chemist:
Is there anyone studying pharmacueticals who can comment?
The other, worse problem is that Ecstacy is illegal, there are no controls on its quality. Your source might sell you any damn thing, like Ketamine, and claim it is ecstasy. Or they might be lousy chemists; screwing up the synthesis could create junk that would permanently screw you up.
Personally I have only avoided ecstacy because I fear the crappy lab technique of others (that and jail). I wish to bring no permanent harm to my cortex.
