Sadly, it's like Salshun said, there are so many contradictory reports and studies out there these days that nobody knows what the fuck to believe anymore. When you add that the whole 'boy who cried wolf' scenario we have with modern prohibitionist agendas to the mix (omg MDMA causes parkinsons one pill will kill you marijuana is a gateway drug not even once!), it just leads to people ignoring advice all together because they can't figure out what's true and what isn't, and just doing whatever the hell they want and hoping for the best, which obviously isn't a good scenario. |
Yeah, it seems that we have a lot of media induced paranoia these days. Whenever their is a report of an OD on Ecstasy it's never as cut and dry and we're lead to believe. It always ends up being the result of dehydration, or super hydration where they drank so much water they got sick and died, or a combination of other drugs that led to the OD. I don't think I've ever read a single report where it was "Person took X, only X, and they died solely based on an overdose."
