watch Ecstasy Rising by Peter Jennings or read the book Ecstasy: A Complete Guide and find out for yourself. also go to erowid.org or even wikipedia. Ecstasy is illegal and it's a felony to have it or be under the influence in the US. you should abide by the laws of the land of which you reside.

Potentially yes. Long-term use can result in psychological and physical health problems. Dehydration and water toxicity is possible when people are extremely active and do not drink any fluids, or drink excessive amounts of fluid. Ecstasy does impair driving, so driving under the influence of it is dangerous. Also, many pills have ingredients other than MDMA in them which can be harmful. Research has shown very mixed results regarding whether ecstasy has any neurotoxic effects. Research has shown that it does not cause "holes in the brain". However, ecstasy does have the potential to have positive effects. It has shown to be successful (at least in the short-term) in treating PTSD clients in psychotherapy. It can increase openness with others and facilitate the development of closer relationships with others. It is also very effective at reducing shyness / social phobia while one is under the influence of it. Almost anything can potentially be harmful. It is important to know what you are doing in order to reduce any potential harm that can be caused by taking Ecstasy.

it affects the brain and could cause you to get depressed the day after to possibly days after. You stay up allnight and rave. Which could cause problems sleeping. They make you feel so good though and help you speak to the girl you like easier and make you horny as hell.

I myself have experimented with two types of illicit drugs, bound illegal in Australia. Ecstasy is one of the two forms, in my case of multiple experimentation periods of the drug in both a safe environment (home) and unsafe environments (city) with friends on all occasions, I have found that the drug, in non excessive use (only experimenting with the drug once every month or two months with up to 3 - 7 pills) having no long term impact. In saying that, it is very known in the drug industry to effect everyone differently, whether it be short term impacts or long term impacts. I for both marijuana and ecstasy, receive what is commonly referred to as post-drug psychosis, which is the feeling of light-headedness or "feeling incomplete (mentally)", this lasts for only 48 hours after the intake of either drug, do NOT mistake this psychosis for a "come down", it only happens after the effects of the come down has worn off. I am still currently in school, and my grades have not dropped, consistently receiving B+'s across my subjects, increasing my understanding that a moderate and controlled amount generally creates no heavy impact on the daily life of a human being. I do however feel as if experimentation to drugs has opened my mind to other social groups of people and the ability to accept others for their influences on party behavior and party options (drugs).

In higher reference to your question, Ecstasy, MDMA effects the brain by releasing all stored serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmitters. After the amount of ecstasy and/or mimic ecstasy ingredients have depleted the amounts of these neurotransmitters, they will restore over time, the time depends on the individual but is roughly estimated at 2 weeks for full recovery of used neurotransmitters.

In very serious cases, predominantly excessive amounts and inclusion of other biological factors, people may also experience depression, anxiety, develop or increase the rate of mental illnesses. Excessive amounts can also increase the probability of death, the amount is individualized, but cases have been heard that individuals sometimes need up to 25 pills to receive an overdose, Of course this depends on the individual and the amount of ecstasy taken, included with their tolerance and experience.

In reading this, you have just delved into the basics of ecstasy as well as take a step into the 2017 yr 12 life of Psychology studies and Health studies. Hope this helped.
