Now a days, ecstasy is involved in raves. A rave is a dance party that's held in an abandoned warehouse or a club, and it's fueled by ecstasy and techno music. In recent years, ecstasy market has been expanded past the rave scene. Tom Lowe was an undercover cop that exclusively went to raves, and used chicanery to find ecstasy. Kids would offer it to him, and once it was obvious it was an undercover cop, they'd abjure something like,"Oh, no sorry I mis-understood you, that's not what I meant." Even their white lies, wouldn't get put past the cop and they'd be arrested. Last year, Lowe put some of the Latin-King gang members in jail for dealing with ecstasy distribution. Lowe thought ecstasy was mainly used at raves, but then found out it was being dealt with on the streets and massive amounts were being moved. Ecstasy has begun to attract professional drug dealers, who are far more aware of undercover cops, and who are much harder to track down. Since Ecstasy itself in a nonaddictive drug, people have began to cut it with things that are highly addictive, such as: methamphetamine, speed, heroin, cocaine and PCP. It's much more of a street drug than anything now. If this new trend continues to grow, and there is no stop put to it, ecstasy may no longer be the largely absolute, semi low-risk distraction that it's been. It will become a future gateway that leads to addiction and violence for thousands of young and innocent Americans.
Ecstasy is considered a felony anywhere in the world, since it's not aloud to be produced anywhere legally.
In Colorado,and you're over eighteen and caught with it, you can face a sentence in prison for up to twelve years. If you get caught with it and had the intention to sell or distribute it, you can face up to sixteen years in prison, and depending on the circumstances and the amount your caught with, you might face up to thirty-two years in prison. Fines to get you out can range from $3,000.00-$750,000.00. Although, if you're a minor possession to sell or distribute can lead up to two years in a juvenile detention center.
It's been proven today that the psychological effects of ecstasy are: paranoia, confusion, depression, anxiety, and hallucinations. The physical side effects are much worse though, they consist of: severe dehydration and body overheating, nausea, sweating, chills, tremors (shaking of the body, usually effecting fingers or hands) significantly increased heart rate and blood pressure, muscle tightness, blurred vision, kidney and heart failure, faintness, muscle breakdown, and brain damage. One of the main physical side effects that can lead to death is the severe hydration. When kids are dancing and moving constantly at a rave, their mouths get extremely dry and they are always craving water. If you drink too much watch you can drown your body and that leads to death.

I know you had a print source, so you just need to add that in here.
ReplyDeleteThis is very thorough and covers the major issues that would concern people. It surprised me that ecstasy itself is not addictive that it's just the other drugs being mixed in that are making it so-- I guess I never realized or learned that. The dehydration issues are scary though.
You need to start working with the vocabulary words as well.
Thanks!
I’ve been a long time user and fan of MDMA, but I don’t like the negative side effects and health problems that are associated with it; so I was in route for a legal healthier alternative. I tried a lot of legal products on the market, but it was all hype. The closest thing on the market is a product called, Trip2Night that can give you similar euphoric effects and lasts around 5 to 6 hours.
