How is ecstasy bad for you?
Ok, so please allow me to start by trying to explin what ecstasy
or X does. The way X works is, the chemicals in the drus forces
your brain to fire signals into your body to let out all the
dopamine you currently have stocked up.
If you're wondering what dopamine is, it's a very powerful
chemical made inside your body naturally to increase the feeling of
pleasure... like when you climax during sex.
So, it forces your body to release all the dopamine it has
stored up, and while this may sound all good, and many people swear
that it's the best thing in life, you need to know the down sides
to this.
X is created in labs... labs located in basements, garages,
sheds... no better than meth labs to be honest. And there isn't a
single distributor for X, so anyone anywhere with the knowledge of
how to create X can add whatever they want to the drug. Sometimes
poisons are used "just to add color".
It is also VERY difficult to control the intake of X, simply
because you get caught up in the euphoric feeling that you just
keep wanting more, and an OD (over dose) on X is more common that
you can imagine. It was mostly due to the uncontrollable intake of
X that many raves were cancelled or banned throughout the United
States.
Lastly, well, there's more, but the main thing that I hope turns
you off to X is that it melts your brain. The way X forces your
brain to fire signals to release dopamine is not safe for the
brain, and prolonged usage will result in your brain literally
melting and you will be nothing more than a brain-dead user. And
it's illegal, but the issue with legality hasn't ever really swayed
anyone away from it.
X will mess you up, it's not as bad as heroin or cocaine, but
anything created by testubes in a dirty basement has never really
been good.
