    No, I don't seem to need recreational drugs to understand popular culture. I like some pretty "innovative" music. I can't stand techno, though. I reckon one of the big dangers of MDMA is that it ruins your taste in music. I don't do illegal substances. Scotch whisky is my limit.

    You've clearly never even been in the same room with actual MDMA if you think it 'ruins' your taste in music.

    Good job repeating and spreading FUD without so much as an ounce of critical thought though, Big Alcohol Tobacco and Pharma collectively thanks you for your unpaid contribution to their bottom line. After all, who needs a stable of Russian Twitter bots when you can use actual living breathing retards to disinform the masses just as cheaply if not cheaper?
