Let's begin our examination of ecstasy or Methylenedioxymethamphetamine where all things start; in the beginning. Believe it or not Ecstasy or MDMA has been around since 1914. It's first recorded use was as an appetite suppressant. Ecstasy went largely ignored until the 1960's. During the 60's and up until 1985 MDMA was being used by psychiatrists to help treat certain emotional and psychological problems.During the 60's is also when the first reports of recreational use of MDMA were reported. our legal system treats E like Heroin, Cocaine, and LSD. The penalties for manufacture, delivery and possession are harsh and can include fines up to $100,000.00 and life in prison. Of course the amount of pills you get busted with and the context of the situation plays a big part in sentencing. The fact remains
though that getting caught with even small amounts of E can end up really costing you. E cannot be detected in your urine after four days. Ecstasy users may also experience problems that are similar to amphetamine and cocaine users. These problems may be experienced during and sometimes weeks after the ecstasy was taken. Some of the psychological effects may be bouts of confusion, depression, insomnia, anxiety and paranoia. Some of the physical effects may be muscle tension, involuantary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, lightheadedness, chills, sweating, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure. While I was preparing myself for this article I was shocked to find all the harmful effects that Ecstasy has on the body. I had been under the misguided impression that E wasn't that hard on
