Ecstacy and The Law (UK only)
Ecstacy remains a CLASS A illicit DRUG the possession and distribution of
which carries a stiff sentence. If you're caught in possession of ONE pill
you may receive a CAUTION depending on a number of circumstances.
Possession of more than one Ecstacy pill may lead to a charge of INTENT TO
SUPPLY with much longer (custodial) sentences.
Can Ecstacy be traced in your body?
Yes Ecstacy can be traced in your body. Most common drug-testing kits will
also detect the drug within a week or two of taking it. If in doubt -
don't take it! Stick to something less obvious like ALCOHOL (not as nice
but not as illegal either!)
Is Ecstacy addictive?
As far as we are aware Ecstacy is not PHYSICALLY addictive but some people
can become PSYCOLOGICALLY addicted to it.
How much does it cost?
In the UK the cost of a single Ecstacy tablet depends very much on your
location and how many you intend to buy. As a rough guide - one pill will
cost �10 (from someone in a club), �5-�7 (elsewhere) or as low as �2 each
if purchased in bulk.
What is Liquid Ecstacy (GHB)?
Liquid Ecstacy, or to use its proper name Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is
an odourless liquid that comes in bottles similar to "poppers" (amyl
nitrate). It DOES NOT contain any MDMA. The substance became popular in
Northern English clubs and its use has now (sadly) spread further south.
It is classified as a sedative-hypnotic and was originally developed as an
aid to sleep. Why people take this hideous and dangerous substance is
beyond us! LIQUID ECSTACY?!!! BOLLOCKS! At lower doses it can have a
euphoric effect similar to alcohol and can make the user feel relaxed,
happy and sociable. Higher doses make one dizzy, sleepy, un-coordinated
and can cause vomiting, muscle spasms, loss of consciousness and sometimes
death. Nice?!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Common Sense Advice
(The basics of staying safe on Ecstacy)
Before you take Ecstacy:
Ensure you have had a good sleep (at least 8 hours for most adults).
Tiredness causes irritability, lowers your mental ability and reduces the
effectiveness of your immune system. Ecstacy is an effective stimulant and
will keep you awake for ages.
Don't take Ecstacy (or any illegal drug) if you are ill. Yes you may well
feel better when the drug is working but afterwards you will feel like
SHIT! And it will prolong any illness you were suffering from before you took the drug.
Eat a full, balanced and healthy meal. You won't want to eat a thing for
ages after taking Ecstacy (it is a very effective appetite suppressant).
Suggested foods include: Fresh green vegetables and citrus fruit. Fish,
eggs, milk, cheese, chocolate. Banana's are also particularily good as
they are packed full of energy. Take extra vitamins. Drink plenty of
water. Not gallons. A few pints will suffice! If you are going clubbing
and intend to take ecstacy take provisions like SUGAR FREE chewing gum
(Wrigleys Extra is particularily good in tablet form not STICK!). This will
help protect your gums, lips and teeth.
After you take Ecstacy (the chillout!):
Relax! Ecstacy is a stimulant. Sit down, drink tea, coffee, water, fruit
juice. Have a spliff. Just don't excite your poor overworked body anymore.
Taking Ecstacy is NOT NATURAL. Your body needs time to recover.
