Kemper now:
Let me clarify.  The love potion seems to elicit passion from the
victim.  The physical act of love is the result of  emotional romantic
love.  This is more true for youth and probably less so for those
getting on in life.

Kemper now:
Yes, Ecstasy.  I said true because E is now rarely made with MDMA
which lowers inhibitions and increases emotional euphoria and physical
pleasure from tactile responses.  It was used as a therapy drug in the
mid-late 70s.  If slipped to someone, it can lead to sex.  Much like,
imao, love potion.

I feel Romilda was wrong.  Like Merope but without success.  But as
you say, its not the RW.  I guess the WW tolerates that sort of thing.
 But then, why would the school ban it?
