From what I have read (..and “done” in my wasted youth.I don’t condone or criticize anyone for doing drugs as I feel that is their choice. I feel a person should be FULLY aware of what they’re doing and WHY they are doing it.) there are several factors; drug make-up, drug quality,dosage,physical condition and brain chemistry of the “participant”(i.e. if someone suffers from clinical depression where their serotonin levels are low, taking XTC would literally kill them, as it releases ALL of person’s serotonin at one time). An outstanding site to check is http://www.erowid.org
They cover everything from drug history,chemical make-up,dosage,laws,etc.
Worth investigating.
