Ecstasy is a slang or street name for Methylenedioxymethamphetamines. The Federal penalty for selling can lead to fines up to four million dollars. Ecstasy is one of the most popular drugs used at raves(all night long parties.) Physical symptoms are muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, rapid eye movement, faintness, and chills or sweating. Increased heart, blood pressure, pulse and body temperature are also side effects. (This drug is a special risk for people with heart disease, high blood pressure or circulatory problems.)
Herion is usually injected, but recently it has been switched to snorting or smoking because of purity and people thinking it's safer. Herion usually is a white or brown powder.
