NBN, you clearly don't know much about e.
Just to quote your article

In effect, they said, Ricaurte's experiment was the equivalent of giving a 150-pound person 800 milligrams of Ecstasy in six hours, or 10 tablets containing 80 milligrams, far more than the average recreational user takes in one night. That, they said, is likely why it killed one in five monkeys that received the shots.
I don't know anyone that takes more than one tab at a go, his 'research' is utterly farcical. Its like injecting 3 bottles of vodka into a monkey in 10 minutes and then using its death as proof that a glass of scotch will kill you.

"No researcher has ever shown any dopamine damage in chronic users," said Julie Holland, a professor of psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine and author of Ecstasy: The Complete Guide -- A Comprehensive Look at the Risks and Benefits. "And no studies with animals have shown Ecstasy causes dopamine damage. But he's found a way where no one else could."
Oh! I missed this little gem down the bottom:

The NIDA funded the study. Leshner is now chief executive of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the organization that publishes Science.
Man its worse than i thought, its not even vaguely independant, its utter FUD.
