What are the harmful effects of ecstasy?

Answer 1

* Depletion of serotonin levels in the brain after a couple of uses, which can lead to depression over time * Neurotoxicity * It can be addictive to some people * Risk of heart attack and death if you overdose * May create flashbacks and paranoia * Since you never know what is IN the pill, you may be taking something else instead and creating even more damage to your body * Some deaths have been reported because people were at clubs dancing, drinking too much water and not urinating; their bladder exploded. * It's illegal and you might get caught * Some studies show ecstasy use causes greater chances of developping Ahlzeimer or Schizophrenia * Giving your money away to dealers and organized criminals

Answer 2

Ecstasy was originally developed for marriage counseling. It was actually a legal drug at one time administered in safe environments to promote warm fuzzy feelings between the two people taking the drug. That way, when the drug wore off, the patients would remember that warm fuzzy feeling and would hopefully be more inclined to being nicer to each other post dosage. Those are really the positive effects. It makes you feel very happy and very friendly. I had one person describe it as "you just want to hug everyone." Mind you what is on the street these days is often cut with something else and is much stronger then what was originally made in the doctor's office. Unfortunately with this positive blissed out feeling you have to be able to handle the consequences. The drop can be pretty nasty and you spend a few days depressed, anxious, and lonely. Look up "suicide tuesdays" at some point. (This is known from personal experience.) It can also do nasty things to your body if you aren't careful.

A complete cessation of heartbeat and respiration is perhaps the most harmful.
