Plus good people who would otherwise be locked up or killed won't have their lives destroyed.

I handed my friend a leftover cup of pedro tea one night.
He later approached me privately and said. "Hey man, mescaline doesn't stay in you right?"
I said, "What man? You mean like for a drug test? Nah, but they don't even test for it."
His reply was, "No I mean, mescaline isn't like acid, where it stays in your body for the rest of your life right?"
heheh

Another myth/rumor i heard (somewhat like what that kid Shroom_Herder was arguing with) is that E is bad for your back. Now, I have never seen info on this on sites like erowid, but I half talked to people who said that their back was bothering them the next day. Personally, in the 2 times I have done E, my back has been fine - but maybe the problem increases the longer you do it.

Yeah, it "drains your spinal fluid" That was disproven a while ago. As far as your back bothering you, that's probably from dancing, or doing other physical activities while rolling, you'd be sore the next day whether you were on drugs or not.

I've heard a myth that E burns holes in your brain and even read on a website (somewhere, might have been bullshit) that even 30+ years after rolling some people still were showing signs of brain damage in cat scans... Anyone care to shoot this down? it's the only reason I haven't dropped yet.

Ecstasy does, in fact, cause brain damage. When your brain breaks down the MDMA, it creates H202 as a byproduct. Hydrogen Peroxide is a neurotoxin and also will bleach your hair. This is what kills your brain from ecstasy.
In all honesty, I think E is the worst drug out there as far as it's physical side-effects. I used to do it but finally got out my rut and kicked the shit to the curb. When I hear the line "You don't use drugs, drugs use you" I think of ecstasy.

Mylz said: Heh.. Smacked a good couple people for insisting that "shrooms are bad, they make your brain bleed man"... One kid even tried to tell me that "the shrooms make your brain bleed, and the blood drips down from your brain onto your retina, and the blood on your retina is what makes you hallucinate"...
I've heard a variation of this...except it drips onto your spine instead! Must be true then... Oddly enough I heard this from a close friend who is a very (book) smart person... Smartness in one kind of intelligence doesn't imply it in another..meh
I was once told by my mom that this one distant uncle smoked marijuana once. He then moved to the mountains, isolated himself from his family, and shot himself in the head. I broke out laughing.
About the legally insane with acid use thing. Althought this isn't true, legal definitions don't mean shit. If you were "legally" insane, that wouldn't mean that you are actually insane. For example, my friend is legally blind, but he can still see without glasses, just not well. Legally, marijuana is a narcotic. Marijuana is not a narcotic.
MDMA does cause residual cognitive deficits (brain damage is such a broad term that it is pointless to use).
Myth - erowid is infallible - sorry, I love the site, but it would be better to refer people to more scientific literature... People treat erowid like it's the know all and end all, not everyone, but still. It is a great source nonetheless . Take it easy
BTW, completely off-topic, but I just saw the most rediculous thing on TV - my local news stated that some guy (think this is a nation wide thing) was just found guilty of murder and then I heard applause and cheering. WTF? Local news has an audience now?

Crazy Crazy rumors around here. The acid stays with you forever is a classic around here. Along with Mescaline, shrooms, and acid make ur brain hem-ridge.
But when I was going to grow mushies, my friends kept telling me over and over that if I breath in the spores they will grow in my lungs and I'll die. And then after I started, they kept telling me the first two batches are EXTREMELY poisonous and will kill me. lol. So far I proved them both wrong. Sounds like the growers around here like to spread rumors to stop you from growing lol.
