Well, well, well. This is rather contradicting:
"Israel�s Justice Ministry announced this week that people caught in possession of up to five ecstasy pills will no longer face prosecution, and explained that the change is �a case of adapting legislation to meet reality� (Ha'aretz, Jerusalem).
"... possession of even one pill will still be technically a crime and explained the new category of �personal use� is designed to distinguished between users and suppliers...
"The change coincided with the publication of a report in the UK by leading civil liberties organisation Transform which predicted that all drugs will be legalised in the UK by 2020."

My general opinion is that, there is never a fully beneficial outcome to every story. There has to be pros & cons. Tradition, i suppose. Or rather, that's just the way things work. We can't always choose to be biased & naive & ignorant. Surely severe consequences would have to be dealt with if that were the case. The reality is that, in the clubbing scene, the usage of drugs is inevitable. It will get circulated, one way or the other. So what's the point in trying to turn a blind eye?
On the other hand, however, the tragic case of the 'Red Mitsubishis' [girl died by dropping half of the tablet containing PMA] reflected the dangers of consuming party drugs. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why they were made illegal in the first place. Therefore, the only possible solution is to ensure that the eckies are of laboratory-tested MDMA & not just from some dodgy garage ensemble.

Common form of impurities include micro-sized glass bits, rat poison & whatnots. One of my mates in KL once found himself staring at a wire upon snapping the eckie in half. Must be some cheapskate deal.
More info & on drugs and such on the ever-popular erowid site. Also, more reasons to believe why anyone of reasonable intelligence ought to avoid them chemicals.
