Ecstasy - street names; ecky's, X, E, Love drug, Hug to name a few names.
Ecstasy is a Hallucinogen and Stimulant
How is it taken - Usually swallowed, also can be snorted, injected, or inserted into the anus to be absorbed.
Immediate Effects can vary from person to person, and their over all health and well being.

Increased heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure, increased confidence, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, loving feelings, anxiety, appetite loss, sweating, dehydration.
Larger doses;
Convulsions, vomiting, floating sensations, bizarre behaviours, hallucinations.
Coming down after taking ecstasy - insomnia, depression, fatigue, anxiety and paranoia.
Add alcohol or other drugs to Ecstasy, the effects can be unpredictable, and can further increase heart rate, blood pressure etc, and may even cause severe mental disturbances. Or worse extreme adverse reaction which can be life threatening.
Given that people can make this drug, in their home, can cause further concern, as to what they may have used as a filler to make the drug.
In short a second dose could be the death of you!

No, Ecstasy is not safe. There are several kinds of Ecstasy. You can purchase it and not even know which you are getting. The cut that they use can be extremely 'dirty'.
Ecstasy can be speedy like methamphetamine, or slow like heroine. You can be allergic to anything that they put into it.
It also messes with the thermostat of your brain and tricks it into thinking that you are too hot or too cold, causing it to malfunction and not regulate your body temperature correctly.
You shouldn't do it at all, as I am sure that you know.

NO it isn't. If I had a penny for every time I'd treated some idiot in A&E who had taken ecstasy I'd be rich. If it was safe we'd all be having a good time!!! It can kill you with a single dose (heart arrythmia/attacks) and remember you don't always know what you are getting!!

No! It is not safe and as for the length of time in between: 140 years! Don't you realize many people have DIED from that drug?

It's unhealthy, legally troublesome if you're caught with it, and the things you do while on it may also have unhealthy consequences.
If you're worried about it at all, that's a sign. If not, and you're in my age bracket, then keep it up; more social security for me when and if the time comes!

I did it last saturday, took three pills. I ended up refusing to wear clothing saying it was a imprisoning my body. I streaked to tescos twice. I danced like a maniac. Great fun but my memory is dodgy over that time period and I spent two days recovering. Also u nevr know whats in ur pill, MDMA is better as u know whats in it.
