How much ecstasy do one have to take until they have noticable brain damage?!
Question:
How much ecstasy do one have to take until they have noticable brain damage?
Answers:
The instant that you take it is already ample evidence of significant brain damage.
A brain scan study by scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York found that people had decreased blood flow to their brains two weeks after taking a low dose of Ecstasy. The results from the studies resemble findings from earlier animal studies.
The studies have not determined whether the human brain may recover from intermittent and low-dose Ecstasy use or whether the effects are so subtle the studies cannot detect them, says Linda Chang, a scientist at the Brookhaven laboratory.
"While we do know a lot about (Ecstasy), there's still a lot we don't know," says Glen Hanson, chief of the institute's neuroscience research division. "In a way, we are conducting this huge experiment on hundreds of thousands of kids who are taking the drug at parties and thinking everything's OK, yet we don't know what the end result will be. That's very scary."
