Ecstasy is a drug that usually comes in pill form and is known as X,E or Adam. this pill's main chemical component is MDMA (Methylene-dioxy-N-methylamphetamine' or'Methylenedioxymethamphetamine'). This pill does fill the body and mind with an extreme feeling of euphoria when taken. However it has devastating effects on the human brain. In fact MDMA effects the chemical level of Serotonin in our brains which leads to mood swings and aggressive behavior. It also causes people to be confused and detached from reality. In long term users it is common to experience severe confusion, memory loss and depression (this can happen weeks month and even years after taking the drug, but will not happen when under the influence of the substance) . This harmful chemical also adversely effects blood pressure and pulse rate (which in some cases may lead to death).
It is also important to note that the ecstasy one gets on the streets may not be composed of only MDMA which in many cases may increase ones risk of overdose, unpleasant side effects and future mental disease.
Note everyone reacts differently to Ecstasy (in terms of side effects possibility of overdosing, and future mental illnesses )

a designer drug that alleviates all inhibitions and leaves the person who took it in an extreme state of euphoria, bliss. 'e' (slang for ecstasy) is mind-expanding, and is best accompanied with techno music.

The popular name for MDMA, which was discovered by US army in the early 20's but no real use for it was found, Andrew Shuglin rediscovered it in the mid 70's and popularized it. a drug which is commonly taken by clubbers/party goers. Typically comes in pill form bearing various designs or emblems to differentiate between the 'types' (though this is primarily a 'marketing' technique to rob the uneducated masses).
Can be taken orally, insufflated, injected or smoked, (also.. plugged), typically taken orally where effects typically last from 3-5 hours and user is often overwhelmed with a feeling of 'love and unity'. Unexperienced (or truly uninhibited) MDMA users tend to channel this energy into making out with whoever they stumble upon, very unsafe, and stupid.
Studies suggest ecstasy use causes damage to serotonin axons in the brain, via oxidization. (in the early stages of a comedown a chemical in your brain known as dopamine is broken down in a MAO (mono-amine oxidase) which creates some inert substances and H2o2 or.. hydrogen peroxide, or.. bleach). No hard data one way or the other though. MDMA is also linked to serotonin depletion or chemical depression.
Despite all these drawbacks.. its fun as hell :-P

An amazing drug that i believe everybody should try at least once. It's not a physical addiction unlike some drugs. Only you can know how amazing ecstasy is and once you try it you will only love it more!

Without a doubt the most fun drug in existence (and I've tried my share of drugs). If you know someone who makes it and can get you pure MDMA I'd advise taking the habit up because MDMA isn't actually amazingly dangerous. What is dangerous is everything it can be laced or cut with. The term E-bomb is really quite perfect for the drug. You have no idea how much power is in one tiny pill. I love rolling. I love rolling stoned. I love rolling and walking. My first time I took a green dragonfly smoked a pack of reds with some buds and I fell in love with a mailbox, apoligized to a rock because I thought I made it cry, and absolutly refused to eat because I didn't want to kill the french fries. If you can't find pure (ore very close) MDMA my personal rules for E are: Never more that one every two weeks, keep it on your fingers (don't go over ten times), adn don't take two unless they're the same type and you've waited an hour since the first pill and still don't feel it. As long as your careful you'll have a WONDERFUL experiance.
Earlier tonight I took Ecstasy before the Nickelback concert that I didn't realize was cut with heroin. I'm not going to lie it was fun but I constantly got this feeling that I was dying and I didn't care.
