Harmless, and oh so sexy.Reader Rob Veline responds to 70-Year-Old Canadian Man Busted With 40,000 Ecstasy Pills.”Picture this:You have 100 people standing in front of you, and on a table next to you are two bowls. One bowl has 100 peanuts, the other has 100 ecstasy tablets. Your job is to keep everybody alive and healthy. You have to decide: do you give out the 100 peanuts or the 100 pills?””You’re better off with the pills, because the incidence of acute health problems with the ecstasy is much lower than the incident of peanut allergy. Point being, this is really a very harmless drug. It was first harnessed by marriage counselors as well as psychiatrists treating depression, and it worked so well that the field was hailing it as a miracle drug.We do much more harm by spending time and money catching and prosecuting these people, rather than divert those resources towards something wonderful, like urban renewal, health care for the poorest, etc etc.”
