Roach Referenced: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v00/n713/a04.html WHAT ECSTASY DOES TO YOUR BRAIN There are so many possible uses for MDMA, the compound used in ecstasy pills, and I feel it should be legalized for personal and medicinal purposes. I know people who have found peace of mind through the use of MDMA, and I've never seen anyone who has had adverse reactions to properly made MDMA. Your story cleared up many common misperceptions. Thank you for giving both the positive and negative facts on an issue that is quietly affecting every aspect of America's youth.

It should be compulsory. David A. Roach, Corpus Christi, Texas - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
