"1. A reliable supply of actual MDMA dose is pretty hard to come by. Unless you are buddies with a chemist, your chances of having access to pure MDMA it next to nil."
Only if you buy it from some random guy. If you have a good drug dealer it's not difficult at all to get pure ecstasy.
"Getting actual MDMA (not MD*, d-,l- or meth-amphetamine, ephedrine, DXM, LSD, 2C-*) is certainly possible, but there wouldn't be a thriving community around identifying what are actually in "ecstacy" pills. Knowing the amount of substance in the pill is next to impossible."
Again, not if you buy it from a reliable dealer.
"2. Using MDMA for a few days in a row changes the user's subjective from the magic of MDMA to something closer to "speed." This effect is not uncommon amongst users using MDMA only once a week at parties."
While I do not deny that may be the case with some people, I know several people who have taken several hundred XTC pills in their lifetime, with absolutely no reduction in effects.
"3. Price. $60/day for pills that may or may not be MDMA?"I don't know where you live, but I've never seen it for more then $15. Usually it's no more then $10.
"Even most pro-MDMA sources acknowledge that MDMA use, let alone habitual/daily use carries with it a few serious risks, including neurotoxicity."
There is absolutely no conclusive evidence in regards to long-term damage caused by ecstasy usage.
The only report I have seen that claimed ecstasy caused severe brain damage was retracted when it was discovered the ecstasy had accidentally been switched with methamphetamine.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retracted_article_on_neurotoxicity_of_ecstasy
Here's a study that found only insignificant differences in the brain chemistry of heavy MDMA users.
