Just FYI, the whole "extreme ecstasy" claim by Drug Czar John Walters has just been thoroughly debunked by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They say they have no clue what he is talking about. Among other things, the incidence of meth in ecstasy has been dropping. See http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2008/01/20/4...
But that is nothing new. The US Government has had a dedicated campaign to lie about drugs since at least 1925. You can't believe anything they say on the subject.
Also FYI, what is the greatest single cause of drug epidemics among US children? It is hysterical anti-drug campaigns, like the ones promoted by John Walters. See the chapters titled "How to Launch a Nationwide Drug Menace", "How Speed Was Popularized", and "How LSD Was Popularized" in the Consumers Union Report on Licit and Illicit Drugs at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/studies...
