To most people, the idea of putting a strange, unknown item into their mouth and swallowing it is just absurd. Well, maybe you would if the item is some type of food, coming from a person you trust, who has already tried it. Because of the ease of simply popping a seemingly harmless pill, you might not really think about the consequences of taking it. But before you are so quick to drop that mysterious little pill into your mouth, maybe you should find out just what it actually is you're swallowing and what it can do to you.
Most people use ecstasy in an effort to feel relaxed, confident, and full of positive feelings.
Unfortunately, the damage that ecstasy causes can actually do the opposite in the long run. Ecstasy affects the frontal lobe of the brain, an area that specifically impacts interpersonal communication. It is ironic that a drug that is used to enhance social interaction may end up making a person incapable of healthy interaction with others in the long run. With the myth circulating that ecstasy is safe and all natural, many teens are falling victim to this drug that is in reality very destructive. One of the most dangerous things about ecstasy is that, oftentimes, it is cut with other drugs such as LSD, speed, or other amphetamines.
