Are they planning to keep them on it permanently? Because here are a few of the after effects (coming down):

Muscle aches (lower back, neck & joint pain)
General fatigue
Depression
Difficulty in concentrating
Paranoia
Short-lived anxiety and irritability
Acne/skin rash
Frequent headaches
Frequent stomach cramps

Sounds like all the things the VA is treating these veterans for. So ecstacy just makes them forget they have a problem, for a while. Will they then give them methadone maintenance to get off the ecstacy? And then, they will have a methadone dependency but that's a legal government drug so it's OK?
