One in 10 teens reported that they had experimented with the drug, the survey found. Teenagers' experimental use of ecstasy is now on par with that of cocaine, crack and LSD, outpacing experimental heroin use, the study found. The last two or three years, I can't believe the amount of people doing it at school. U.S. Customs confiscated at least 9.3 million ecstasy pills in the last year, far more than ever before. The young consumers of those pills know that ecstasy can make a user feel euphoric.
Adolescents say they like it because it erases inhibitions.
They forget their zits, weight, self-consciousness or what others think of them. The kids also know that rappers such as Eminem, Lil Kim, DMX and the late Notorious B.I.G. have praised it. Local youth can rattle off the price ranges, brand names of ecstasy and tell which supersensory effects a pill gives by the colors and emblems stamped on them. And they know where to get it. It's really easy.
