I took it seven times in six years. Last time was in '95. I wish I could do it again, but I've no connection anymore.

So that's why I never could find any once I got to L.A. *sigh* Christ, this fucking country is insane.

The supply dried up in the mid nineties, because the people manufacturing it in Israel were all arrested.

I wish the drug cartels would start manufacturing Ecstasy, and stop manufacturing meth.

I agree. It's a really great drug, and it's not addictive. I can definitely see how it would be a useful drug for people who have experienced some kind of trauma.

I wouldn't take it every day, but the few times I took it, I really enjoyed it.

Thanks, Dominic, for the pretty kitty video. At least while the world implodes we have cats.

The most profound experiences of my life have been when I took MDMA. It's a transformative drug if you use it the right way. I never used it to go to concerts or anything like that, but always quietly at home, at night, in a deliberately meditative setting. The only time I used it outside of that was once when I took it to go to my weekly gig playing Middle Eastern drums with my drum teacher at a local cafe, backing up a troupe of dancers. It was a peak experience - with each dance those ladies performed, I saw the Goddess right before my eyes. And I mean that quite literally, in a deeply religious sense. I'll never forget it. Anyone who says Ecstasy is bad has no fucking idea what they're talking about.

Not counterintuitively at all. It's how those drugs work. The only reason it sounds stupid is because of the hysterical propaganda of the right, that insists anything that can be used for pleasure MUST AUTOMATICALLY be evil.

The Moon is a harsh mistress, but still not far enough away to take Biff and Newt.

Yeah, what the fuck is up with that?

Excuse me, but treating PTSD with Ecstasy is NOT LUNACY. That's what the drug was originally intended for.

I expect better from you guys. I mean, seriously, WTF??

Okay, Wonkers: 'Tis the day after Boxing Day. Should I pretend to be a responsible adult and clean up my house after all the Christmas cheer, or be my true irresponsible self and continue drinking more "cheer," or set myself up for failure by trying to do both?

ETA: Today's small but attainable goals: 1) Shower. 2) Unload the dishwasher.

Rather than burn piles of cash backing crazy dingbats like "Chemtrail" Kelli Ward, the Mercers intend to dump cash into dark money Super PACs to push their lunacy into the mainstream, Like how they accuse George Soros? Or does Soros skip the middleman?

Considering her standards for arm candy, I wouldn't expect her to not dress like she was colour-blind.
