Ecstasy was originally a prescription drug for depressed wives who had to see their husbands off to the war during WWII. Soon the general population, mostly teenagers and to-be hippies, could easily get a hold of the drug. Since it has been made illegal, it has been reported that there are 7 ecstasy related deaths per million, making choking on peanuts more hazardous. Most deaths have been due to over drinking: the drug makes your body retain water, including in the brain, so essentially the person drowns to death if they don't die from alcohol poisoning first.
so do i think that it should remain illegal? only if alcohol, cigarettes, and peanuts are taken off the market.

Here's a fantastic commentary on this issue by Times columnist Martin Samuel. Not only does he give some helpful statistics on just how 'dangerous' (or not) E is in comparison to other drugs, he says:
"We hear a lot about how harmful drugs are, never how harmless. Not a word about how, for most people, they are something you grow out of, as surely as you grow out of small cars with souped-up engines. The Ecstasy users of 1991 are now talking house prices and schools over dinner, just like their parents."
Spot on. Spot on.
