For the most part, yes. Ecstacy can be mixed with hard drugs like meth, cocaine, and/or heroine that have obvious bad side effects. However, according to a clip I saw on a reputable news show (20/20, 60 Minutes, something like that), ecstacy in its pure form can cause damage to the brain that affects things like memory -- however, this damage is apparently reversible in casual users. I can't really explain to you how or why these parts of the brain "grow back," but scans over a period of several months showed less "holes" in the brain. However, be warned that ecstacy hasn't been around as long as marijuana, which is relatively harmless (at least compared to alcohol, which is quite bad for you), so any kind of long term damage it can do is still unknown.

Ecstacy is harmful b/c it eats wholes in your brain. Most people that have gotten off it find that they have to play games to keep there mind functioning. They play word games things like that. MTV had a thing on ecstacy like 4 years ago and it had all kinds of stuff that it did to people if you look it up in the net you should find all the info you want.

I was watching a documentary a couple of months ago on the history of narcotics and one of the drugs they were discussing was Ecstasy and what it does is it floods the brain with a naturally occurring chemical called serotonin which causes the feeling of euphoria. The problem is not only what Ecstasy is made of and the effects of those chemicals but in the hospitals they all know about black Monday's and suicide Tuesdays as that is the after effect. Your body only produces, stores and releases certain amounts of serotonin and when you have been flooded with it and then you suddenly have none you crash and are highly suicidal and will likely end up in the emergency room from coming off of this drug usually 2-3 days later. Bad stuff if it doesn't kill you you will likely do it yourself.

Ecstacy is a drug. It can harm you in any number of ways, not the least of which include dehydration, stroke, and/or heart attack. This is the 21st century. Can't we stop this blatant stupidity?

You never know what is really in anything that is synthetic. My advice would be stick to asking questions about it and never have to answer the question yourself.
Remember the commercial about frying an egg? It goes on to say, "this is your brain on drugs" That's Ecstasy Exactly!
Below are pics of your brain on Ecstasy

I really hope you can find help to help you come off drugs for you and your baby. Not only would it hurt your baby but when you were high you might do something that could hurt you too. Good luck x
