=] The Legacy of Ecstasy

Enough time has finally elapsed to start asking if ecstasy damages health in the long term. According to the biggest review ever undertaken, it causes slight memory difficulties and mild depression, but these rarely translate into problems in the real world. The review was carried out by the UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), an independent body that advises the UK government on drug policy. They are expected to recommend downgrading MDMA from a class A drug to a class B, putting it on a par with cannabis in terms of harmfulness. - via an article about the study in New Scientist
