X (and other drugs) and Brain DEVELOPMENT

[josephjab]

Hi,

my younger brother, he is 17 years old. He is not fully grown, and he has done X and he has done some other things.

Does X or any other drugs.. will they mess with brain development as I have heard somewhere???

Thank you.

XTC when done in careful moderation should not alter brain development but of course abusing it, like almost any other drug, has its down sides. Here's a random page I found about the potential danger of XTC:

I hope it puts your mind at ease.

I'm 18 years old. I have taken at least one representative of all kinds of psychoactives (except antipsychotics, but this will happen soon). I have no problems with memory or other cognitive functions and the development of my brain hasn't been altered much. Of course this doesn't mean that taking psychoactive drugs is good for young people, who haven't developed yet. But don't worry. Weed and X wouldn't bother him much (unless he is susceptible to schuizophrenia or depression). I am happy that I am living the best years in my life in a way like this. When I get older I wont have the time to do things like this. There would be other things which would bother me, like family and working. I mean if it doesn't happen now, when would it happen?

I don't see any negative aspects to the brain after using E.

You know, E opens up your mind, at least it did to me. I've never heard people saying how great their addiction to coke, heroïne or meth was. But I have heard great experiences of people who've used E, and even after the trip they were positive about it.

To me the first roll opened up my mind. I started thinking in an other way (positive), and I have to tell that both my school study and my situation at home have improved after that first roll.

edit: I have to add that you should use with care, so take about one, two or three months rest before using again. Then you can experience it like it was your first roll.
