First off - it made his CH worse.
Second - here's why:
MDMA is an amphetamine based compound. It does induce extremely mild hallucinogenic effects similar to say 1 tiny Liberty Cap mushroom. It is to LSD what Coca Cola is to cocaine.
However, the partial Indole ring does ensure that it acts on Serotonin levels, oh yes indeedy. It floods the brain with the stuff. Too the extent that frequent users actually burn out a significant proportion of their Serotonin receptors. This is v. bad news since it may cause psychosis or depression further down the line. And if you think about it: more serotonin + less receptors = more to go round the remaining ones. Not good.
I took 1/2 an E once, and it was the biggest dissapointment of my life. I'd have gotten the same effect drinking £10 worth of expresso.
Very nasty drug. Responsible for shit music above all else.
