How about this? According to
this review article (journal article that summarized numerous other journal articles), there are quite a few adverse long-term affects from MDMA (not to mention the short-term affects). Basically, if the E doesn't outright kill you somehow, it'll still eventually cause abnormally low levels of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter linked to mood, appetite, and a bunch of other things.
I'm not so sure that the chances of it killing you are low. MDMA can cause hepatitis (liver inflammation -- possibly fatal) and outright liver failure (fatal), brain hemorrhage (possibly fatal), thrombosis (blood clots -- possibly fatal), irregular heart beat, hyponatremia (imbalanced electrolytes causing brain swelling -- possibly fatal) and more.

I can understand that attitude though if you get your drug 'news' from 60 minutes.

Some of us get our drug news from science.
