Do you know your XTC?

[pjbth]

I was doing a little Ectasty google searching online and came across this gem (lol) from the Oprah Winfrey Show. What score did you guys get?

I just took the test. Horrible questions, not worded correctly. I can easily argue 5 of them...

8. One pill can kill you.

Your answer: False

You answered incorrectly.
Learn more: There is no way of telling how much MDMA is in one pill. With more frequent use, tolerance to the drug builds and many times the user increases their dosage. There is no telling when a dose will produce fatal side effects.

I've never heard of anyone dying from an MDMA overdose.

Yea, that test was really biased.

And the question that asked about pharmaceutical companies producing E, it says they don't. If this is the case, where do they get the stuff they use therapuetically for Soldiers from Iraq, that I've heard about on this forum a couple days ago.

SWIM got only one wrong but he answered it how he knew they would. You are right about the pharmecudical companies though. SWIM put that you need to drink lots of water when your rolling but apparantly you dont. Is this true? Sure you could drink TOO much water but dont you need to be adiquately hydrated?

It says the following
6. Drinking a lot of water while on ecstasy is very important.

Your answer: True

You answered incorrectly.
Learn more: Ecstacy causes hyperactivity and body temperature to rise resulting in extreme thirst. However, drinking large amounts of water actually dehydrates the body faster, flushing out essential electrolytes. This can cause the brain to swell and the kidneys to shut down.

SWIM has never once heard that before. All the articles online about E specifically say to keep hydrated and this thing is saying that is bad. Maybe they are saying you could drink too much but they are making it seem as if an water would be too much

Very dumb test, where Xtc is equalised with the substance MDMA. And the answers to the questions were a bit "guess what I am think of" stuff. Not good at all.

no need to drink more water than normal just enough to keep hydrated. if your dancing all night sure consume more water but they first tried to scrae eveyone away from ex by telling them you would die from not enough water but it just resulted in people freaking out and overhydrating which is wayyyy more dangerous than any e pill ive seen consumed

[napoleon in rags]

i only got one wrong, the manufacturing question. i though some legitimate drug companies still made MDMA for research?

[Tony Blair]

They do... MDMA is being handed out to troops in American who have returned home after fighting in Iraq.

Not quite. It is being studied on a very limited basis for troops suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Hardly being "handed out" at this point. And though it will likely show extremely positive results for helping these folks integrate and accept their experiences, politics will likely keep the use of MDMA confined to a very limited basis.
