MDMA Neurotoxicity
almost all experts now agree that MDMA is a neurotoxin. The question of what that means to users is still open,
however. The current best overview, as of November 2001, is the chapter by Matthew Baggott from the excellent
book Ecstasy: The Complete Guide. This article is available here.
In 2011, a paper examining an unusual group of MDMA-only users (most people who try and use Ecstasy/MDMA have also use other recreational drugs) found that the MDMA-only users "showed no signs of cognitive impairment attributable to drug use: ecstasy use did not decrease mental ability." See AdditionJournal.org Feb 15 2011.
