Ecstasy Use
Phenethlyamines are naturally occurring. MDMA is only one
of nearly several hundred variations on a chemical theme,
identified within our central nervous system. “E,”
and “X,” are the slang terms for what has become
a prevalent street drug. MDMA is Ecstasy. GHB or Liquid Ecstasy
is an entirely different, and lethal compound. Ecstasy (MDMA) produces both stimulant and mind-altering effects. It can increase body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and heart wall stress. Ecstasy may also be toxic to nerve cells.
