Despite how fun it is, and despite the experience of people that use it all the time, ecstasy is a taxing drug.
The "holes" in your brain that you hear about are not physical holes. This is in reference to a brain activity scan performed on regular x users, and reflects spotty areas of reduced or absent brain activity. It is a fact that x depletes the seratonin and dopamine levels in your brain, and that it damages and sometimes permanently destroys important neurons that help with replenishing and reuptake of these important chemicals (which help regulate functions such as appetite, emotion, memory, and certain decision making skills).
X also causes decreased brain activity in parts of your brain that govern both long and short term memory, and creative thought. This damage has been shown to be cumulative (amount of damage increases with usage) and relatively permanent. A human study focusing on X users demonstrated that damage dealt by a SINGLE use can last up to seven years, and that full recovery is rarely guaranteed.
Albeit, ecstasy is extremely fun, it appears to create bonds between people of all ages, sexes, and colors. I have done a fair share of X myself, and can assure you that you will not notice the damage until its already done.
