Same goes for Twinkies.

I for one am glad she turned her life around. At the same time I would have not done the interview.

"I'm not excusing her, of course, but ectstasy is a horrible substance and a serious neurotoxin. I find it easy to believe that a stupid teenager doing lots of it might do anything. Ecstasy's reputation as a fun club drug/love drug is the cause of much suffering."

Same goes for Twinkies.

Twinkies are not seriously toxic to the nervous system and they are not horrible in the way ecstasy is.

I'm not arguing the "twinkie defense". Drug abuse is no excuse for attempted murder. She chose to take drugs that affected her judgment.

I'm just making the point that so-called ecstasy is a potent and very negative drug. It's often misunderstood by youngsters (and people old enough to know better), who think of it as a fun time love drug. In reality it poisons the brain and belongs with methamphetamine and PCP on the list of things no sensible person should dream of abusing. Do you disagree with that?

Twinkies and MDMA? That is one overstretched analogy.

I stated it was no excuse. The effects of serious drug abuse, though, are factors in the commission many crimes.
