Ecstasy information

Drug: Methylenedioxy Methamphetamine.

Ecstasy Street names: Adam, XTC, hug, beans, and love Drug.

Ecstasy Effects: The effects of ecstasy generally start within 20 minutes of taking the drug, and may last up to 6 hours. Certain individuals have reported symptoms persisting for 32 hours after using ecstasy.
There are generally three phases:

coming up: where the effects can be smooth and bumpy, and individuals might feel a rush

plateau: where the individual might feel good, happy, relaxed

coming down: where the individual might feel physically exhausted, depressed, and irritable.

Ecstasy Description: It belongs to a family of drugs called "entactogens," which literally means "touching within." Other drugs in this category include MDMA, MDE and MBDB.
Before it was made illegal in 1985, MDMA was used by psychiatrists as a therapeutic tool.

MDMA is a "mood elevator" that produces a relaxed, euphoric state. It does not produce hallucinations. MDMA takes effect 20 to 40 minutes after taking a tablet, with little rushes of exhilaration which can be accompanied by nausea. 60 to 90 minutes after taking the drug, the user feels the peak effects. Sensations are enhanced and the user experiences heightened feelings of empathy, emotional warmth, and self-acceptance. The effects of 'real' ecstasy subside after

about 3-5 hours. Users report that the experience is very pleasant and highly controllable. Even at the peak of the effect, people can usually deal with important matters. The effect that makes MDMA different from other drugs is empathy, the sensation of understanding and accepting others.

Ecstasy Street Use: Oral.

Ecstasy Dependency: There have been some deaths associated with MDMA. Usually these have been a result of heatstroke from dancing for long periods of time in hot clubs without replenishing lost body fluids. Much of what is sold as "ecstasy" on the black market actually contains other drugs, some of which can be more dangerous than MDMA, like PMA, speed, DXM and PCP. Mixing ecstasy with alcohol or other drugs increases the risk of adverse reactions.
