Here is another good quote from that article: "There are some that think ecstasy is really a harmless drug," Lt. Detective Frank Armstrong of the Boston Police Drug Control Unit said. "This clearly shows that it is not. By itself it's dangerous, but when you ingest large amounts of alcohol along with cocaine, Percodan, it's just a lethal, lethal mixture." He kinda makes it sound like blow, pain killers, and lots of booze wouldn't normally plant you if it wasn't for the E... smart cop.
