I got curious, read a bit and it's really like that!
In terms of addiction alcohol and nicotine are more potent, but in terms of danger, you need lot more alcohol to die than mdma, though alcohol and cigarettes are actually a silent demon if consumed daily. It's been interesting but I wouldn't say mdma is "nothing", maybe it's more appropriate to say marijuana is nothing compared to cigarettes and alcohol. A very low dose of activation and low dependency, tied up with the fact that marijuana overdose, I think, is not even possible, there remains the fact of smoke, which is the actual cancerous part, but ey it's less addicting, so of course you'd smoke less.
I've used marijuana as an example because in my country THC products are illegal to this day... Which I find absurd...
Mdma is relativly safe in terms of use. Even after 30 years still hasn't seen any bad effect from it. Ofcourse with everything you take you need to do it with limits. Mdma also helps with trauma. It can help you talk about things you normal wouldnt.
Strange isn't it Alcohol and Nicotine are the 2 most hard drug around. And it kills so much people. And all politicans do is complain about stuff like XTC which is still nothing compaired to these two LMAO
