And lets be honest what kid is going to follow directions, red bull and alcohol is fairly dangerous yet people still do it.
So if you sell a kid a bunch of legalized ex and tell him he can only take one pill every 4 hours and to drink lots of water, is he or she going to do it?
Probably not.

See this is the same with alcohol, we have so many deaths from people drinking too much.
This argument while true, is still not a good enough reason to not legalize, heres my reasons why, also same argument for weed.
#1. MDMA is relatively safe, the street pills are often found with other drugs and because you are taking some home lab mdma, you never know what you will get, thus the risks go up. Legal means controlled and you know exactly what you are getting.
#2. Criminals, take more money out of the drug trade, a great deal of crime and police efforts are focused on something that isn't going away by keeping it illegal, prohibition DOES NOT WORK.
#3. Taxes and freeing up the police to fight serious crimes, taking a huge number of cases away from the courts and making money off the taxes put on legal drugs.
There is also in MDMA's case the therapeutically use, which is highly effective tool for people who have suffered severe emotional trauma.
Drug wars do not work, legalizing is the only logical step. You control it, tax it, and spend profits from these drugs to educating people on the risks, and let people of adult age decide on their own what they put into their body.
