Dangers of ecstasy?

what are some things about ecstasy? what happens when you do it, how do you do it, what are the effects, etc. please. im not gunna do it but someone i know is going to and i want to stop them. please help.

I could be wrong but I beleive the two biggest dangers are from overheating, due to dehydration and increased heart rate. The second is from over hydration where you subconciously keep drinking and over hydrate yourself which is potentially fatal.

Thirdly it releases a chemical into your brain called seratonin which happens naturally whenever we are happy although it releases a lot more than is normal.

There are studies which have shown after prolonged use of ecstasy your seratonin levels gradually decrease which can surely only lead to one thing which is depression.

Other reasons for not taking the drug is it is extremely stressful on your kidneys and heart. All it takes is for someone to have a weak heart or kidneys and it could be fatal. The first time someone takes a drug is the most dangerous in my opinion as you never know how your body is going to react.

And lastly taking that one pill could potentially ruin your life especially if you have an addictive personality. One pill turns into two which turns into more and then you go on to stronger drugs etc etc.

At the end of the day it is the persons choice and as long as they know the risks and are prepared to take responsibility for their actions then there is not much more you can do except stand by them in case something does go wrong.

My advice never ever touch any drug. Trust me I have seen a lot of scary things drug related and I still haven't even seen probably anywhere near the worst of it.

Oh and one other thing if they are going to do it make sure they get it from a trusted source. There are loads of dodgey pills floating around which you have no idea what is in them.

this guy came to my school and he was telling stories about his drug time (this guy's like 30 and the WHOLE school had to go down to the .....um....what do you call ...the place where movies are shown and people act.....anyway just for this presentation

So, this guy said: this girl (the first time she ever had ectasy), she fainted and her blood started to boil, and it came out of the eye sockets and ears , and mouth. we wven saw pictures......it was pretty bad, but if the girl hadnt died, the pictures would have been cool.

I have done ecstasy quite a few times, and it is the worst drug you can do. It won't seem that way when you do it..because the drug is what it is called.. ECSTACY. you are in heaven, your body feels tingly, you love music, sounds, dancing, everything feels so happy and wonderful. but once you come down from it, your life will be hell. the day after i did it i started looking at life differently because i wanted to be back on that feeling and suddenly felt depressed that i could never feel it again (unless i took the pill). i ended up doing it about 8 times total. the depression isn't even the worst of it, weeks later i started to suffer anxiety, sleeplessness, I could not concentrate in school or anywhere else, i was always nervous and shaky.. and I know it is from the ecstacy. it puts holes in your brain and eats away at it, every single time. it coudl eat away different parts too so who knows what neurons you are losing. you will feel the anxiety for months after even one time you take it. also, you don't even know what drugs are in it. ecstacy is manufactured by people on the streeet... drug dealers.. most likely people who have never graduated high school and can't keep a job. do you really want them mixing drugs for you that eat away at your brain?
i've experienced other drugs as well and even though they never made me feel as great as this drug, it is the one that I will NEVER do again because of the reprucussions
