Text Abstract (this page) Full Text - English (private) Response To Green AR (1996) Show Articles by Winstock AR King LA Article IDs Erowid RefID: 44 PubMedID: unknown Collections Hofmann Collection MDMA Collection All References	Abstract Those who metabolise the drug quickly may possibly also experience 'desirable' effects of the drug for a shorter time than other people. This might lead them to take increasing doses to sustain the wanted effect, with this compounding any potential risk. In a study at the Maudsley Hospital many subjects have reported taking over 10 tablets in an evening; some have reported lifetime use exceeding 1000 tablets. With toxicity in animal studies being associated with a single dose,4 such lifetime consumption makes the likelihood of latent functional psychological problems even more likely.
