Now the guy obviously has some long-lasting symptoms from this HEAVY abuse....
But on the other hand I've got to think: how would someone fare after 9 years of taking 25 pills of Advil (or whatever) every single day? Would they even live through the first week? Month?
The fact that he's still around alone should prove that E isn't as bad as it is often made out to be.

Yeah, I saw that and I thought how 25 of anything a day is bad. I mean, 25 doughnuts a day? Or 25 beers a day? Even 25 bong hits a day? Moderation is the key, man. But I guess he's still alive, and that's saying something...

I've heard of people taking 20-30 percocets or Tylenol 3's a day... the oxycodone or codeine wouldn't cause any long term problems, but for the most part they're SEEMINGLY okay. In all likelyhood their liver/kidneys have taken a pretty harsh beating, but maybe their organs would recover with time. I'm not entirely sure. Many addicts without access to pure opiates do this.
I've heard quite a few accounts from heavy MDMA users talking about memory and emotional problems, so I wouldn't doubt that there's some serious danger to this.

he was in the UK, the shit is cheap as hell there.
here in cali if i buy in bulk i can get it 3 bucks a pill or less. and id have to pay from 8-10 for singles.
I read that in the UK you can get pills for as much as $2-3 for singles, and if you bought in bulk to could prolly get them for pennies a piece.

"This was an exceptional case. His long- term memory was fine but he could not remember day to day things - the time, the day, what was in his supermarket trolley," said Dr Kouimtsidis. "More worryingly, he did not seem aware himself that he had these memory problems."
Does a crazy man know he's crazy?
25 x tabs a day... for four years? damn. it is interesting that the MRI didn't show any apparent brain damage. im still not takin any more E.
