Effects of Ecstasy
Ecstasy
(MDMA) is a synthetic drug that damages brain
cells. On the street, Ecstasy is sometimes called
"the wonder drug", but researchers
label it as a killer.
Dangers
and Effects:
Brain damage
is only one potential problem. Ecstasy has a
long list of known and suspected negative effects
on abusers. It pumps up the heart rate and blood
pressure, so users may become hyperactive(极度亢奋)and
end up with heart stroke. It can produce blurred
vision, faintness, chills, sweating, and muscle
tension due to such effects as panic, anxiety,
depression, and paranoid thinking.
Youngsters
who take Ecstasy take an immense health risk.
