Ecstasy abuse
Ecstasy is a typical party drug, aimed at a music night market and also to maintain. Sleep is literally driven out of the body. Ecstasy is available as pills, in various colors and shapes, sometimes capsules or powders. If you have the real Ecstasy, it contains MDMA (3,4-methyleendioxymethylamfetamine).
Ecstasy stimulates the release of certain substances in the brains, which changes your mood and your energy level is increased. What you want to achieve with Ecstasy, ‘ecstasy’ is a happy, cheerful, bright and love feeling. There is a different experience of music and color, need for intimacy and contact, a sense of belonging and meaning in sex.
Because inhibitions disappear for a few hours, the world seems a lot better. The dangers of Ecstasy starts about half hour to one hour after ingestion and lasts for about five hours. In young, slender women and men, the effect is stronger. Because you never know what exactly is in your ecstasy pill, the dangers of Ecstasy are quite high.
