Well if you take 10 tabs in you lifetime you are considered legally insane.
Every time you take a tab it makes your brain bleed.
Also it is very easy to become addicted.
Drug addiction is one of the causes of early death.
Ecstasy, or tenamfetamine,is metabolized by the Cytochrome P450 system, and in people who exhibit defects in this system might go into sever & fatal reactions(hyperthermia, convulsions,DIC, acute renal failure)
In chronic users, PET (Positive Emission Tomographic) scans show selective dysfunction of seratogenic neurons, suggesting that neurodegenerative changes accompany long term use. However, as far as I know, there is no conclusive evidence.

I know that it’s a very hard drug. You might as well mix heroin with meth. It makes you feel very weird and puts you in a dreamlike state that slowly fades away over a few days after taking it. I don’t know about it making your brain bleed, but it definitely messes with your chemical make-up and your neurotransmitters. If I took it on a Friday or Saturday, I would still be feeling it a little on Tuesday & Wednesday.
There are two things to consider.
The first is the effects of pure MDMA (ecstasy) on nerve cells, an the second thing is the types of impurities commonly found in MDMA products and their toxicities.
With regard to pure MDMA: The usual dose is 100mg to 200mg, and the sought after effects last from 3 to 6 hours.
MDMA (and MDA) are known to produce damage serotonin secreting nerve cells and their axons in rats. Data regarding humans has shown that the cerebrospinal fluid of chronic MDMA users was lower than normal in serotonin breakdown products.
The conclusion is there is a possibility of brain damage in humans.
With regard to toxic effects of impurities, you would have to scan the toxicology journals hoping someone did a study on street samples.
A good example story of a graduate chemistry student who tried to make a cheap form of the narcotic demerol is instructive. Look up the sad history of the discovery of MPTP.
