Ecstasy Drugs
Since hitting the market in a large way in 1988, Ecstasy has continued to rise in popularity, and the name is synonymous with partying. The drug is each a dangerous killer and a wonder drug depending on which aspect of the debate one is on. For its users, it is the best drug ever invented one that makes life seem heavenly and makes partying end up ten times much better. However, for some, (those considered as being too conservative and buzz killers via the advocates of the drug), ecstasy is a dream killer. A dangerous drug because of the potential risk it poses to the life of many youths and it should never be allowed into the market (Arria, Bugbee, Caldeira, Vincent & O’Grady, 2015).
Despite the convincing argument from both parties, those for and them against it, where does the truth really stand? Is ecstasy just a harmless party enhancing drug whose use should be encouraged or is it simply among the most dangerous whose use should be discontinued? The reality is, from a scientific standpoint that some of the ingredients of ecstasy are direct compounds from methamphetamine (Wardle, Kirkpatrick & de Wit, 2014). Apart from that. Although it is true that there are some “nice” effects of the drug, such as making one active for longer, the side effects, which are seldom advertised are much worse and outweigh any of its pros. One of such side effects is the grinding of teeth, and although there is an associated high, the worst is the blunting of one’s mind seeing everything as likable and sweet when it may actually be harmful. Evidence indicates that the result for the majority of the users is a feeling of emptiness, depression, and statistics indicate death has also resulted from its use this due to health complications (Parrott, 2016). So why endanger your life for a temporary misleading feeling?
