Foundation For A Drug Free World Spreads Truth About Ecstasy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 27, 2009 -- Tampa, FL - Foundation for a Drug Free World (http://www.drugfreeworld.org) spreads the truth about Ecstasy parents and potential users amid peer presser and the pushers glorifying promotion. Glorified as “The Love Drug” or the “Club Drug”, Ecstasy is really a dangerous, man made substance that is highly addictive..

Ecstasy is a “designer drug” that became popular in clubs and rave parties. It’s not only designer, it’s illegal which means there are no standards of production. To be called Ecstasy, is must contain Methylenedioxymethamphetamine" or MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine ). In addition is can also contain of one or more other harmful ingredients such as rat poison, caffeine, speed (methamphetamine), ketamine: a type of anaesthetic that may also alter sensory perception, or PMA (paramethoxyamphetamine): a type of amphetamine that can be toxic.

As noted humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard stated a few short decades ago, “The society has become by all evidence to hand, a biochemical problem.”

“It’s not worth the momentary high - it just sucks the life out of you, and it sucks the happiness out of you,” says an Ecstasy user who wished to have their identity protected.

“Ecstasy is very scary and when mixed with alcohol can, in fact, be deadly,” reports Antonella Antonecchia, Social Reform Director for the Church of Scientology of Tampa, which uses the Foundation’s materials in their community drug awareness programs. “So widespread has been the harm of this ‘designer drug’, that emergency room incidents have skyrocketed more than 1200% since it became the ‘Club Drug’ of choice at all-night “raves’, parties and dance clubs,” continues Anatonecchia.

Ecstasy’s users quickly realize that the alleged “happiness” promised, quickly fades away once the real side effects kick in. Some of the short-term effects are: impaired judgment, confusion, depression, sleep problems, severe nervousness, paranoia, muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, vomiting, blurred vision, chills or sweating.
A few of the long-term effects are long-lasting brain damage affecting thought and memory, depression, anxiety, memory loss and kidney failure.

Ecstasy’s strength lies in the lack of information that people really need in order to say no to this drug. The facts about Ecstasy can be found at http://www.drugfreeworld.org/#/publications/drugs/ecstasy-booklet-english.
