Sounds like a dangerous drug to me

From a Washington Post article on the DEA's approval of the testing of ecstasy as a possible treatment for trauma.

Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, is popular among casual drug users for its reputed capacity to engender feelings of love, trust and compassion.

My God the horror!!

Another golden nugget from this story

.....millions of young ravers and others have since tried the substance, which can induce what enthusiasts describe as up to eight hours of empathic conversation, contemplation and energetic sociality.

First of all, "ravers and others?" Second, the "energetic sociality" is not all it's cracked up to be. Particularly when it's being directed at you by a raver or other continuously from 3:00 A.M. until noon the next day when all you want to do is sleep and have clearly indicated this intention through the act of being in bed. But no, I'm not bitter.
