Ecstasy (MDMA) is a synthetic drug that contains amphetamine and hallucinogenic properties. It is a stimulant drug. While there are many threatening short-term effects of Ecstasy, there are also plenty of long-term effects of Ecstasy that can become permanent. MDMA is very toxic to the brain and can, therefor, destroy part of your brain. MDMA is known to affect the neurons that use serotonin to communicate with other neuron transmitters. It also may cause memory loss to the user. Ecstasy causes seizures while affecting the heart's ability to maintain normal rhythms.
Many Ecstasy users will acquire serious injuries because of the hallucinations. Many times, the hallucinations can cause very disturbing images, causing the user to do whatever they can in their power to escape. More long-term effects include: kidney failure, bleeding in the brain, and serious cases, death. Ecstasy is definitely not a drug to mess with because of the serious short, and long-term effects it has for the user.
