>:FACT : There is no such thing as a "nice" drug. There are bad drugs, and there are :"badder" drugs. If you think you're doing yourself any favours by taking them, you're :fooling yourself. (Ps. This is _not_ an anti-drugs post. I'm certainly not in any :position to condemn anyone for taking them....)

Sounds more like opinion to me.

>Trips on the other hand......
>I mean why watch The Magic Roundabout when you can experience it for yourself?

Speaking purely from my own experiences I would say that LSD was far more
dangerous than XTC. The first time you trip it feels good and your body is
pretty much undamaged. After about a year of monthly use you notice that the
"day after" your body looks worse and worse. 
It starts to take longer to fully recover as well. The first time you trip, 2 
days later you are ok, but by the end of 12 trips, no longer how long a time
scale you take them over, it can start to take up to 4 days to recover and feel
good again. I woke up one day after going to a night club and realised I looked
like a zombie. It scared me and into never taking the stuff again. I would not 
say that 12 trips over a year was excessive, but I would not advise anyone to 
take more than 4 trips in a life time.
My experience of XTC so far is completely different. After around 6 months of
light usage (About 1 a month) I still look good and feel good. Although I
am told that the bad FX start to come on after around 3 years of weekly
usage (Taken from a medical magazine).
