Ecstasy would not be the drug of choice for stress. It would make your heart pound even harder and make you more excitable and anxious. This guy was not using it to combat stress he was using it for a recreational high although he seemed to be using it regularly while on the flight deck. Someone said he was only a recreational user and the consequences would have been less if he was only involved in supplying the class A, it actually appears that he was in fact no a recreational but habitual user and the legal consequences would definitely included a custodial sentence if he was convicted of supplying.
