Spotting Ecstasy
The most obvious sign your child is using ecstasy is to find them in possession of it. There are two common forms: pills and liquid. Liquid ecstasy is actually GHB, a nervous system depressant, which comes in small vials. GHB is often used as a date rape drug and should not be used recreationally. More commonly, ecstasy is produced in colorful tablet form with cute impressions like smiley faces or Mercedes Benz logos stamped on them. These tablets are often hidden in bags of candy or placed on candy necklaces.

Signs of Ecstasy Use
有特定于狂喜的迹象。如果您的孩子从派对或舞蹈中迟到了,并且展示了以下行为,他们可能会在狂喜上很高:
- 无意识的牙齿咬紧或疼痛的胸部
- Muscle cramps
- Disturbed vision

If you believe your child is using ecstasy, don’t believe that it is safe because it is a “party drug.” No matter how many people sing or rap about it, it still has multiple dangers associated with it.
For instance, users don’t know exactly what is in it or who made it and that can lead to seriously adverse reactions. Not to mention, it is associated with a number of negative sexual behaviors. Plus, it can lead to the body overheating and shutting down internal organs. It’s not all about dancing and loving.
