X is slang for ecstasy which is MDMA. MDMA is an entactogen/empathogen meaning it produces empathy, love, and emotional closeness to others. It is important to note that many pills sold as ecstasy do not contain MDMA but can contain amphetamines, research chemicals (such as mephedrone or MDPV) or other psychoactives (such as DXM).
Ecstasy (MDMA) has some stimulant properties, and therefore one could refer to it as an "upper". Nevertheless, it also has several other effects (feeling of empathy, emotional closeness to others, etc.) which give it the classification of empathogen/entactogen.
No, ecstasy is not classified as an inhalant. It is a synthetic drug known as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and is primarily considered a stimulant and empathogen. Inhalants, on the other hand, refer to volatile substances that produce psychoactive effects when inhaled, such as solvents or gases. Ecstasy is typically taken in pill form or as a powder, not inhaled.
MDMA (ecstasy) is not easily classified in the stimulant/hallucinogen/depressant scheme. Primarily, it is a stimulant, though it possesses slight hallucinogenic properties. However, because of its unique effects (causing empathy, openness, etc.) it is properly classified as an entactogen/empathogen.

Molly, which is a form of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), is primarily classified as an empathogen, known for enhancing feelings of emotional connection and empathy. While it has stimulant properties that can increase energy and alertness, its effects are more associated with mood elevation and sensory enhancement rather than traditional stimulant effects like those of amphetamines or cocaine. Therefore, while it can act as a mild stimulant, its primary effects are different from those of typical stimulants.

Use of ecstasy carries risks, especially in unregulated settings.
"Bars" are Xanax (alprozalam). "Rolls" are Ecstasy (methylenedioxymethamphetamine). The two substances could hardly be more different in their effects.
