Tough call here. The neurotoxicity of E is still a hotly debated
issue. Anyone taking the stuff ought to realize that they're rolling the
dice every time.

Sigh... That three beer buzz is sending a lot more brain cells
packing than all your acid trips combined. I can guarantee you that.
I'm also not familiar with the hangover you refer to. I can at least
agree with you that after a point the drug isn't really necessary.
Anybody interested in IDM has to recognize what an important role
drugs have played in its evolution. I won't criticize any one for their
own abstinence, but it's important to understand the TREMENDOUS impact of
LSD on popular music of the last 30 years.
