Your claim that "occasional {Ecstasy} use is ok as long as its not to cover up some emotional problem" is your unsupported personal belief, and just plain wrong according to those 23 studies I listed and many others. Ecstasy causes brain DAMAGE.
From http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/concern/mdma/ecstasy020700.htm
"How long MDMA-induced brain damage persists and the long-term consequences of that damage are other questions researchers are trying to answer. Animal studies, which first documented the neurotoxic effects of the drug, suggest that the loss of serotonin neurons in humans may last for MANY years and possibly be permanent. "We now know that brain damage is still present in monkeys SEVEN years after discontinuing the drug," Dr. Ricaurte says.
