He was caught with E.
He could have been caught with worse. MDMA is not addictive and has only limited neurotoxicity, especially compared to other drugs, including legal ones. Moreover the risk of death from MDMA use is extremely minimal if the pills are pure and overdose via serotonin syndrome is unlikely. My point: At least he wasn't caught with cocaine or heroine. Then you would have cause for extreme concern.
Do tell your brother to be careful. Those Mexican drug cartels that are killing people right and left? They're in our back yards. All of our back yards. Screw the side effects and illegality -- his life could be in danger.
It's high time far more people started videogame hacking to get their kicks. Hex stimulates the same nerve centers in the brain as chocolate. Or so I hear...
I wouldn't be too concerned about the cartels. Wherever he got the pills from, it was likely a middle man of a middle man of a middle man. He probably got them from a school buddy who got them from his brother who knows a friend that deals drugs or something. I would take the reverse stance as you, and say that I would be more concerned about the illegality and side effects. Not the side effects of MDMA mind you, those are minimal, but most pills on the streets today do not contain MDMA but instead contain methamphetamine or a mixture of the two. Some even contain piperazines, phenethylamines like 2C-B, and DXM (contained in some cough syrup).
MDMA is a very safe drug in pure form, but one would have to be fucking retarded to purchase a pill from some sleazy dealer and ingest it when they have absolutely no idea what the contents of it are. That's like a roll of the dice right there. Either don't do the drug, or buy a testing kit to practice safe and responsible drug use, is my opinion on that.
My Frustration of the Day: Canine parvovirus. Why don't people vaccinate their dogs? I try to educate as many people as come into the clinic, but it seems like for every one I teach about parvo ten come in with pets on their deathbed from it. And because they didn't want to shell out a minimal amount of cash in the first place, now their dog needs IV fluids / blood transfusions / antibiotics / hospitalization and they
still only have a 20% chance of survival on average.
