Ecstacy

Ecstasy is a central nervous system stimulant. It speeds up the processes of the central nervous system. Primarily, it affects the brain which is the control centre for all our thoughts, actions, and sensations.

As with most drug use, there is a certain amount of risk the user takes; the same can be said for ecstasy use.

Here are some of the risks ecstasy users take:

• Possibility of a “bad trip” or a less than enjoyable experience Psychological dependence and
  tolerance may develop
• Drug sellers may deceive users wishing to buy ecstasy. A wide range of products have been passed off as ecstasy
• Severe dehydration. Some users don’t notice how tired they are from the drug’s stimulating effects. Their body temperatures continue to rise and they continue to strain their muscles; thus putting them at high risk for dehydration or organ failure.
