You are wrong. Your own link gets a claim to neurotoxicity which is 'backed up' by this very same flawed study:

[1] Hatzidimitriou, McCann, and Ricaurte, “Altered serotonin innervation patterns in the forebrain of monkeys treated with MDMA seven years previously: Factors influencing abnormal recovery”, The Journal of Neuroscience, June 15, 1999, 19(12):5096-5107. Abstract.

The same Ricaurte that 'accidentally' gave excessive methamphetamine to monkeys intsead of MDMA. The same study.

so you'd have no problem recommending indefinite weekly use of MDMA because in your mind no one has proven there's long term negative side effects?

Don't strawman me. I just pointed out your link relies on a totally flawed study.

I recommended nothing, and I didn't say there were no negative side effects. See HN guidelines please.
