SOHO has closed! Didn't know. Last time I was there years ago, the whole club was high on MDMA. Personal space dissolves into nothing, your dancing becomes super smooth, your inner-calm is completely zen. Nobody is drunk. Nobody fighting. Nobody dosing off. People are fresh and energized until sunrise. Walking out into the sunrise is a good feeling.
The drunken trashy streets are just places to avoid and navigate your way to other places or home.
It's a sad irony that MDMA would actually stop the violence. It's simply not possible to descend into violent tendencies when your mind is expanded, as opposed to clouded by alcohol.
"Sir, you've had enough to drink. Can I offer you an MDMA drink instead".. would cause tumble-weeds to blow through the emergency department hallways.
As fun as MDMA is, it's horribly and cumulatively neurotoxic. Mass weekly usage would be a short term gain at the expense of a lot of long term health issues.
MDMA and alcohol intoxication don't seem to be best friends either IIRC.
Half the UK was on E for most of the '80s and '90s. The only sign of an epidemic of brain damage is that people have started buying Craig David records again.
But after a couple of beers, fine though. Or even after a shot of tequila and a beer chaser, and maybe even another shot and another beer, even then some E would go down nicely!
But I was referring more to a possible world where if drugs other than alcohol were legal, we'd see less blind drunk people causing problems. Can't wait for the stats to come out of USA for how pot legalization influences alcohol related crime and health issues. I suppose we'll need more time for those stats to come in.
