Are you really citing a paper from 1995?

I mean I’m a user of illegal drugs and would rather be safe than sorry. If you look at the mechanics of MDMA, it’s basically forcing your brain to release serotonin from the floodgates in a way that can damage neurons.

Drug tolerance is real. Personally I’d rather be safe than sorry.

In some fields the best papers are the oldest ones and all subsequent work adds basically nothing except someone got a phd out of it. Give old and original research a chance, it is often very high quality.
Look into Alexander Shulgin and other intelligent old people who've openly used MDMA for decades and you won't see a lot of obvious brain damage.
