i have an interesting take on this subjct for a few reasons.(before you judge me read my entire post) 1. i myself have adhd, ocd, bipolar, severe anxiety etc. a few yrs ago i was arrested for selling mdma. “keep in mind if your are not a chemist or part of a research clinic itis very illegal to possess, obtain, sell or consume.” class A felony for each charge. when i was in jail i felt many different side effects from taking the drug consistently and suddenly stopping. granted i was taing around 0.3~0.5 gram per day. while on the drug i felt happy, compassionate towards other people, and able to completely disregard any anxiety or fear from a social situation. imagine the feelingof getting a new car for hours on end. a friend of mine broke his wrist and had it in a sling. he was complaining of very bad pain even with just simple movement of the arm. he took 0.1 of a gram of MDMA. 55mins later i asked him to ake a 2lb bag of frozen peas inside( i had been icing my knee). without any sign of discomfort he grabbed the bag with his “slinged” arm and walked inside. so far social anxiety, pain, empathy and a few other effects are what make this chemical useful in these studies. my brother is 25 and has aspergers his entire life. hes very smart, high~functioning, but is completely *socially disconnected”. he has never taken drugs but i can definitly see how MDMA would negate such behaviors.

now on to the bad side effects.

speech impediment: i now have the fainest lisp and i occasionally studder. none of which occured before hand.
also for a few weeks after stopping consumption i would be talking to someone and then abruptly stop talking as my mind had suddenly become blank.

vision: my eyes now recieve faint hallucination of either colored circles, spots, or lines esspecially while driving at night.

Brain functions: my memory is about 25% capacity as before utilizing the drug. before i could verbally paint a detailed picture of a time i was eating a slice of pizza in the bathtub when i was 5yrs old ( now 22yrs old). yet right now i don’t remember if i had lunch yesterday.

So to wrap up;

pros: empathy increased. anxiety/social shyness 99% gone. sexual desire up, pain reduced signifigantly.

cons: diminished memory retention, increased speech impediment, far~lower brain speed, and depending on tolerance, brain chemistry, weight etc it can also make you very depressed and needing MDMA to achieve feeling “normal”.
