Practice safe "x" what do u think about ecstasy education?

We're not talking about promoting ecstasy use by telling how to make it safe, because it can not always be safe. The point is to give people who are already planning on using ecstasy information on how to reduce the risk of harm. Harm reduction is not the same as promoting illegal drug use. People are going to use drugs, so let's at least give them accurate information so they stand less chance of dying or otherwise harming themselves. I think it is high time we began taking a harm reduction approach to drug use rather than exaggerating potential dangers in an attempt to keep people from doing it at all. It is just like education. Harm reduction ed is monumentally more effective in preventing pregnancy and the spread of diseases than abstinence only ed. Kids are going to use drugs. Let's try to help them not die by giving them unbiased, accurate information.
