Extacy is a drug common around raves and clubs. It is a solid pill that acts on your brain. When consumed it can take up to 60 minutes to take affect, and when it does it tends to last about 4-6 hours. The drug increases your blood and heart rate, and you seem to feel everything more intense. Say someone touched you very softly, you would feel like they were touching you with all their strength. Extacy can be a very dangerous drug and is mostly used for fun. As with all drugs there are side effects. Some of the side effects are Cramps, locking of the jaw, twitching, and nausea. The big danger of taking extacy is that you can have permanent brain damage. There is one other danger of taking extacy and that is death from a heatstroke. Your body temp raises and if you don't attempt to cool it down your body can over heat. This drug is illegal and it is considered a class A drug like Heroin or Cocaine. So the drug seems to be fun but is very dangerous.

We used this site last year in biology, and I found it very interesting. It talks about cocaine, marijuana, and ecstacy, and the effects on the brain resulting from their use.
