ECSTACY NO WORSE THAN GOV'T-APPROVED SUBSTANCES

I read Gordon Clark's recent story on the rave drug ecstasy.

It's funny how everyone is up in arms over this "potentially harmful" drug.

Especially when alcohol, the unsung club drug, kills thousands each year.

But no, ecstasy is the real evil. It was related to four deaths -- my gosh!
And people are forgetful when taking it more than twice a week. Oh no!

Not too surprising.

I wonder how forgetful people would be if they got drunk more than twice a
week? Hmmm.

If this ecstasy memory loss is proven, is it permanent? I highly doubt it.
It's probably something similar to alcohol -- you get drunk, you get
forgetful. But it all comes back.

The bottom line is ecstasy isn't a harmless drug. But it isn't as harmful
as everyone thinks.

The government just wants us to keep drinking their booze and smoking their
cigs.

So let's all listen to them and do what's right and, of course, what's best
for us.
