Ecstasy is a very hit and miss drug, and there are often problems with its purity, it is very easy for it to be cut with other things ranging from pro plus to amphetamines because of this it is easy to overdose on as some people don't feel any affect and will take more, then it will all kick in.

The main effect of it is increased energy and a "buzz" making you feel good people on it will usually be up for dancing/talking all night.

Downsides of it are numerous so I will quote them from a website:



A big problem with Es is that they're rarely pure. They can be cut with amphetamines (like speed), caffeine and other substances because it’s cheaper to produce.

Some of the new man-made drugs like PMA and 4-MTA can be passed off as E’s. Their effects can be very different or they may take longer to kick-in with a risk of the user double-dosing to compensate (risking double the side effects).

Physical side effects can develop that include: dilated pupils, a tingling feeling, tightening of the jaw muscles, raised body temperature and the heart beats faster.

Short-term effects of use can include anxiety, panic attacks, confused episodes and paranoid or psychotic states.

There’s no way of telling what’s in an E until you've swallowed it. So, there may be negative side effects from other ingredients in the tablet.

E’s can make users feel a bit down after use.

There’ve been over 200 ecstasy-related deaths in the UK since 1996. Ecstasy use is the cause of death in many of the cases but there have been some involving other substances sold as Ecstasy e.g. PMA.

Ecstasy affects the body's temperature control. Dancing for long periods in a hot atmosphere increases the chances of overheating and dehydration. Take regular breaks from the dance floor to cool down.
And watch out for your mates – sometimes they mightn’t realise they're in danger of overheating or getting dehydrated.
Be careful with fluids though, as drinking too much can also be dangerous or even fatal. Ecstasy can cause the body to release a hormone which prevents the production of urine.
Drink too quickly and it interferes with your body's salt balance, which can be as deadly as not drinking enough water. Reduce the risks by sipping no more than a pint of water or non-alcoholic fluid every hour.

Using Ecstasy has been linked to liver, kidney and heart problems. Anyone using too much can become paranoid and depressed.

Some long-term users report getting colds, flu and sore throats more often. This may be attributed to staying awake for 24 hours, which puts your immune system under pressure.

There’s research to suggest that the exhaustion and dehydration associated with Ecstasy can activate urine infections like cystitis in women.

Anyone with a heart condition, blood pressure problems, epilepsy or asthma can have a very dangerous reaction to the drug.



Edit: Another downside which I noticed is not on the list I quoted, it can make you crash for a few days after, by this I mean, it might make you feel tired and sick, headache and generally rough for a few days. This one is from personal experience.

As you can see the risks outweigh the pros by miles, now if you are going take any kind of drug ever ecstasy is one best to be avoided purely because it is not worth it. Think about it 1 buzz and the any number of side effects from the above list are possible.

A great site for more drugs information which I quoted is:

Ecstasy is a bad drug.
