Ecstasy is 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine. This is without a doubt the most popular club drug in the United States. Ecstasy releases serotonin in the brain, and therfore acts as a mood enhancer and a stimulant. Ecstasy provides a euphoria, increase in heart rate, and increase in body temperature. For about a week after the user takes Ecstasy they may experience a depression, resulting from the lack of serotonin in their brain. Ecstasy is psychologically addictive in some people. The major danger of Ecstasy is the adulterants. Many pills are either cut with other drugs (Speed, Ephedrine, Ketamine, DXM) because they are much cheaper to make. The only reliable way to make sure you have a 'good' pill is to get a testing kit. DanceSafe sells these kits. I would highly recommend anyone that plans on using ecstasy to purchase one of these kits. Adding strong stimulants such as Speed and Cocaine to Ecstasy can dramatically increase the risk. Ecstasy is a Schedule I substance in the United States and in many other countries. It is illegal to posses, and carries irrationally high prison sentences for distrobution.
