Posted on: Web sites offer advice to Ecstasy users, complicating cops’ fight against drug

I found this article to be very misleading and filled with propaganda. The aim of pillreports.com is truly to spread harm reduction. There is no ulterior motive for the site as many people would like to believe. The members and staff are all volunteers, some of which are very knowledgeable when it comes to MDMA and neurochemistry in general, unlike the author of this article.

The fact of the matter is that people are going to use drugs no matter what, so there needs to be some sort of resource available where users can learn the facts.
The anti-drug government agencies sure aren't going to help potential users stay safe, they'd be more than happy to let users die so they can justify their ludicrous war on drugs. The media also seems to have a field day whenever a drug related tragedy occurs. It's good for business apparently.

I also find it comical how this author compared wine to ecstasy as if ethanol alcohol is a completely safe substance. There are many more alcohol related deaths compared to MDMA related deaths which are virtually nonexistent.

"For every 20 reports about good Ecstasy experiences, Davidson said, there is one from a user who got sick.

Police aren’t fans of such sites. Gentner called them “pro-drug.”"

Isn't that ironic? The police are against such sites, but what is their plan to prevent people from getting sick? Every single pill in the world can't be seized. Prohibition doesn't work.
