When we were asked to pick a topic that we wanted to learn more about and that we were going to be stuck with for a long time, I had no idea what to chose. I thought about it more and more and I wanted to learn something that I could talk to my friends about. Then it hit me, a group of my friends got into ecstasy and I didn't really know much about it, so I wanted to learn all about it to be able to warn them what it does to your body. I knew barely anything about it, which is why I chose it as my topic. I would much rather write a blog each week instead of writing one big term paper on it. Since we focus on one topic each week, I think it's easier to store the information and actually learn what you're reading. I think it also helps us learn to site our sources because almost every week we have to do it. There's nothing I really don't like, the only thing I forget to do sometimes is add the two vocabulary words in.
I've learned a great deal of information about ecstasy. One of the facts that are most surprising to me is that ecstasy is non-addictive, but the drugs it's based with is the addictive part. It blows my mind because 9 out of 10 people would think the opposite of that and think just because it's a drug that it's addictive. I've also learned each about chemical in ecstasy and the specific things it does to your body. I like knowing this information because I can relay it to other people and warm them about the dangerous of drugs. One of the most interesting things I learned about was the history of where ecstasy originated from. I never would've though that it was only a mistake by two German scientists. But now that I've read that it wouldn't surprise me if that’s how other drugs came to our society because they are all from man made chemicals. I still feel like everything is abstemious, because ecstasy was once used in psychiatry but it shouldn't be used in large amounts or all the time.
I know I've learned a lot about ecstasy but I'm sure there is still so much more I can learn. I want to learn about where it's imported from and all the different kinds that there is. I'm interested in learning how much it takes to overdose, and how you know you've overdosed, like what the symptoms are? I want to become very auspicious in knowing everything there is to know about ecstasy.
I think the reason why you choose your topic is a really good reason. I think that you should exploit the chemicals and how each chemical affects the human body. I think that your topic is really interesting and i will enjoy learning more about it. I like also the diction use in this blog and how it easy flow.
