X: "X" or Ecstasy

YA Causes/Tough Issues continues with

X: “X” for Ecstasy

Ecstasy, or “X”, is slang for MDMA. It is often termed a “club drug” because of its stimulating effects that make everyone around seem like a friend. While this might seem like an amazing side effect of taking “X”, the cons far outweigh the pros of taking this illegal substance.

Some of the dangers:

Ø  Dehydration due to vigorous activity associated with the drug, which can lead to overheating, hypothermia, and/or kidney failure

Ø  High doses can cause seizures

Ø  Memory loss

Today’s song: Just Like a Pill by P!nk

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me

This must be a bad trip

All of the other pills, they were different

Maybe I should get some help
