However, if there was a way to completely prevent damage to the brain and eliminate tolerance, I think many many people would do MDMA every day.
To your second point: Quite a timely comment!
I released the results of a ~660 person study on MDMA tolerance/'loss of magic' this morning - as far as I'm aware, this is the first study of this kind.

If you have constructive criticism, that's always appreciated, or if you just like it and find it useful, that's nice too.
One of the odd factors that I've heard of but didn't see listed was the "someone new" factor. It maybe somewhat related to the "close friend" factor. Basically, some people claim to regain some magic if you do it with someone you just recently met or reconnected with who has a low tolerance (as opposed to doing it with someone you're already familiar with). Maybe its the empathy combined with the pleasure of making a new friend...
I've heard it makes a difference... but nothing beats supplements and tolerance breaks IMO. lol
We definitely need more studies like this-- there's still so much we don't know about MDMA.
Very good point on the someone new factor. I'll look into that in future studies.
Agreed on the desire for more research!
It's generally accepted that tolerance to MDMA builds up, leading to a loss of 'magic'.
