    You’d be shocked by how many very successful and incredibly intelligent people have used drugs (including MDMA). Many still use them regularly. MDMA, in the right setting and in moderation, can (will) be a life-affirming and beautiful experience.

    This honestly sounds like something a child would say after having D.A.R.E. in elementary school.

        I know people like this. Though I should probably define regularly as once every few weeks for k. Probably closer to like 2 to 4 times a year for MDMA. Obviously if you’re doing stuff every day then you won’t be productive in a job

        You literally just replied to one, my guy.

        And yes, I know plenty of people like that. And chances are, so do you. You just don’t know it.

        Edit; in case you’re young, I don’t want anyone to take this as evidence that “drugs are ok”, or “they lied to us about cannabis/MDMA, so that means they lied about heroin too.” No. This is why we’d be much better off if they were just honest from the beginning. Not all drugs are created equal, but also the classification system in the US (and most modern nations) is not necessarily based on potential harm.

        So to be clear, my comment is not necessarily true for all drugs, I am specifically referring to MDMA right now (which, before becoming illegal, was used by doctors to great effect as an aid in couples’ therapy).
