NOTHING ECSTATIC ABOUT IT

Ecstasy has become a popular drug used by many young people at dance clubs
and parties.

There are two basic points of view concerning this topic. Some people see
ecstasy as a relatively harmless drug that boosts users' energy levels and
enhances their pleasure. Others see it as a dangerous drug with potentially
lethal side effects.

Even though this drug boosts energy levels and intensifies pleasurable
sensations, it has landed hundreds of users in the emergency rooms, with a
few dozen dying each year.

People need to be better educated on the importance of keeping their bodies
healthy and not doing or taking anything that will harm themselves.
