Ecstasy
Ecstasy is a drug that produces many different
effects, all which occur within the brain, therefore ecstasy
does quite a lot of brain damage, when ingested. Ecstasy came
on the "rave" scene about over a decade ago. Ecstasy
use has been on the rise since then. Ecstasy is reported as
being one of the most damaging drugs on the market. The brain
cells are immediately affected when ecstasy is ingested.
This drug has made one of the largest impacts
on the younger generation since marijuana in the seventies.
The club scene is an environment conducive to the use of ecstasy.
This is why when you walk into a club anywhere in the U.S.,
or the world for that matter, ecstasy is there and available
for purchasing. This is also the reason why more and more
of our young people are dying yearly. Ecstasy is leaving broken
homes and dead bodies in its destructive path.
Ecstasy produces an effect sought after by many
young people. These effects include euphoria, increased empathy
for others, and a feeling of well-being. These are emotions
that the majority of the youth today are not experiencing
naturally. The reason they search for ecstasy is the reason
just stated.
With these desirable feelings comes the flip
side of ecstasy abuse. The body may experience nausea, clinched
teeth, blurred vision, sweating, along with the chills, and
muscle tension. The mind is also affected. These effects are
paranoia, anxiety, depression, and problems sleeping. The
long-term damage is the loss of memory, critical thinking,
and even the desensitization of what used to be pleasurable
to them.
All of these effects are extremely detrimental
to the human being. They all lead to one effected more permanent
than brain damage, more sever than depression, and more intense
than muscle tension. This effect is death. Yes, the use of
ecstasy is death by over dose. The body is put through so
much punishment over the period of use that eventually it
can't take it anymore and consequently it shuts down- it dies.
More and more young people are becoming addicted
to ecstasy everyday. In the beginning of the abuse it starts
as recreational. Then the use escalates into abuse. After
that the tolerance builds until the body is physically addicted
to the substance. As the bodies tolerance grows, the user
of ecstasy begins to experiment with the drug. They begin
combining it with other illicit drugs, such as LSD. This combination
is known as "candy-flippin'". The effects produced
by "candy-flippin'" are very intense. They are also
fatal.
This cycle of use and more use can be stopped.
The most effective tool for stopping addiction is through
treatment. Spencer Recovery Centers is here to help you or
