Some of these people answering don't know what they're talking about. Ecstasy is a drug that releases lots of dopamine which is the stuff that makes you happy and feel pleasure. The problem is that it releases so much and so quickly that you end up depleting your stores of dopamine and you can actually develop lesions in your brain.

It is a club drug. It is very damaging to the brain. Here are a few articles I hope they help.
Short term effects
Users report that Ecstasy produces intensely pleasurable effects – including an enhanced sense of self-confidence and energy. Effects include feelings of peacefulness, acceptance and empathy. Users say they experience feelings of closeness with others and a desire to touch others. Other effects can include involuntary teeth clenching, a loss of inhibitions, transfixion on sights and sounds, nausea, blurred vision, chills and/or sweating. Increases in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as seizures, are also possible. The stimulant effects of the drug enable users to dance for extended periods, which when combined with the hot crowded conditions usually found at raves, can lead to severe dehydration and hyperthermia or dramatic increases in body temperature. This can lead to muscle breakdown and kidney, liver and cardiovascular failure. Cardiovascular failure has been reported in some of the Ecstasy-related fatalities.
After-effects can include sleep problems, anxiety and depression.
What are its long-term effects?
Repeated use of Ecstasy ultimately may damage the cells that produce serotonin, which has an important role in the regulation of mood, appetite, pain, learning and memory. There already is research suggesting Ecstasy use can disrupt or interfere with memory.

xtc is a chemical drug created in a lab. It's MDMA (metildi bla bla anfetamin) and it makes U feel some sort of euphoria and pleasure, and U feel like dancing and touching other people.. it's like enlarges the "touch" sense, so U get pleasure just by rubbing Ur hands with another person.
And U need to drink lots of water for staying hydratated, coz U sweat a lot. Alcohol is bad for xtc.
It's preety good if u do it once in a while.... Everything is good if it's not in excess and done in a smart way.
Try it u'll be open with things you never knew existed, but be smart and don't waste Urself.
Ah! that! altough U might want to have sex... sorry but it just won't work at all... while Ur high your little friend's gonna be as dead as a stone =, (

Ecstasy is chemically known as MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine)
Ecstasy, aka( XTC, X, E ) in the class of hallucinogen type drugs.
MDMA is one of the most popular recreational psychoactive, most commonly sold in the form of "ecstasy" tablets. It is known for its empathogenic, euphoric, and stimulant effects, and has also been used in psychotherapy.
When the full effects of MDMA manifest, barring an uncommon negative reaction, users are likely to find that suddenly everything is right with the world. The primary effects sought by those using MDMA recreationally are the emotional openness, euphoria, stimulation, reduction of critical and cynical thoughts, and decrease of inhibitions that can accompany its use. MDMA is used by some individuals in a therapeutic setting to attempt to work through difficult interpersonal issues. Although MDMA can cause nystagmus (eye wiggles), most individuals experience few prominent open or closed eye visuals. A small percentage of users report significant visual distortions.
Known as the love drug.

Ecstasy or X was used in the late '80's legally, I still remember when they made it illegal and the mad parties BEFORE the date of becoming illegal came in effect. It is/was called the "love drug" because you wanted to touch and feel and hug everyone. The last time I took it, it just made me feel "drunk" so I quit taking it. I could get alot more drunk for $20 (the cost of the X) than I could taking X. So, I haven't taken it since.
However, many doctors such as Marriage Counselors used it in couples therapy to help married couple relax and feel "affectionate" towards each other, before it was made illegal.
It really worked wonders for people's self-esteem when "it worked." However, the problem with most "designer drugs" is you never know what your getting.

It is a mix between heroin and cocaine if not mixed properly it can kill you because cocaine is a upper and heroin is a downer and your body going up and down like that just isn't good for it. It is no longer in control if you know what i mean. I have tried this drug once before and when you take it you feel good then sick and your eyes roll into the back of your head and lets just say your not in control anymore and the feeling doesn't go away for hours. and i would consider it a date rape drug because someone could easily take advantage of you and you not even know it so I would not recommend trying this!!and remember curiosity killed the cat and this just might kill you. and just because who ever else has done it and been fine doesn't mean that you will because our bodies react differently to certain things

Ecstacy is the street name for the drug MDMA.
MDMA is derived from methamphetamine. Often other drugs are sold as "ecstasy" but are usually a mishmash of who knows what including heroin.
Feels great while your on it but put afterwards your brain will feel like putty. It doesn't make everyone horney as the rumours suggest, it just makes you feel open and free. This is great but invariably leads to poor decisions.
It's very unhealthy and one dose can mess up your bodies chemistry for the rest of your life.
I don't recommend it.

It's a drug that make everything in your body feel better. It makes you very very happy for about 8 hours and then you become very sad. So sad that you want to die. The reason for this is because it lets all your serotonin (witch is you happy drug in your brain) out all at once. Don't do it and if you do do it then don't have sex on it.

If you don't know, then you must not be that old, and you really shouldn't know...it's a drug that you are never going to take because then you will get messed up and kill the ones you love and then end up dying. (My friend was addicted to it, so I know what damage it does.)

its a drug, that can make you feel very euphoric happy and energetic. it also increases the pleasure senses of touch. anything you touch or feel can feel VERY good. you also feel a deep connection with other people and you just want to kiss and hug them. but after the comedown you can feel VERY depressed and nervous. you also feel like your body hurts and you dont want to eat.
