Description

Ecstasy is often celebrated by youth culture as a drug that opens the user up, making him or her more euphoric, empathetic, and in touch with his or her physical environment, sensations, and emotions. Yet there is a dark side to this drug, which in heavy doses or over long-term use can result in impaired vision, sleeplessness, teeth-grinding, hypertension, depression, paranoia, damage to the central nervous system, and severe and potentially fatal dehydration and overheating (hyperthermia). The dangerous myths and hard facts are all covered in this invaluable book, as are ecstasy’s incredibly disgusting side effects.
