Ecstasy: A Short Story

     Ecstasy, or 3, 4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine, was first synthesized and patented in 1914, by the German drug company Merck. The original purpose of the drug was to be an appetite suppressant, however in 1970 it was given to clinical depressed patients to open them up and talk about their feelings. Then in 1986, Ecstasy was determined to cause brain damage (http://faculity.washington.edu/chudler/mdma.html).

As stated in (McCaughan (2004)"Ecstasy was first developed in 1914 as a weight loss aid, it was never marketed for that purpose. In 1970 the drug began to get some popularity among clinical psychologist as an aid to psychotherapy and marriage counseling in the United States". More than a decade later, DEA placed the MDMA drug into the list of schedule drugs, however the popularity of the drug gained attention among the youth subcultures.

Methamphetamine is a powerful and dangerous drug. It has the reputation as being a delightful and sneaky drug that robs your body of life.

I would like to talk about a brief history of amphetamines and cocaine and the withdrawal symptoms associated with both drugs. Amphetamines first appeared in the 1920’s to treat hay fever and the common cold. In the 1930’s the drug was converted into an inhaler to better reach the bronchial sacs of the lungs. The drug was used to treat multiple diseases such as narcolepsy and addictions to other drugs. It was in 1939 that researchers found that amphetamine based drugs were causing harmful effects due to the abuse of the drug. At first the drug was taken by removing the cartridge from the inhaler and dissolving it in liquid and ingesting it. In 1937 amphetamines were approved for pill form. In the 1950’s there was high demand for the pills as they were used mainly to stay awake. Military soldiers, high school students, and truck drivers all used it for this purpose. Cocaine first came to light in the 1880’s. 1905 was when it first became popular to snort the substance instead of ingestion

Ecstasy, I am in pure ecstasy just at the wild idea of opening the crinkly, smooth red wrapper of the kit kat bar. I feel imprudent at the thought of the crisp wafers and milky sweet chocolate on the tip of my tongue.

But I yearn for just a taste, just a taste of the enticing treat, just a taste of delectable heaven resting on a cloud in my mouth. I give in, the first heart throbbing bite is too much to handle, for I am on a wild chocolatey milky way soaring through a galaxy of all exquisite processed ingredients in my kit kat. I lose all other thoughts, I am in pure euphoria, the crunch of the disintegrating wafer mixed in a sweet romance

Throughout the history of the human species, we have been always wanted to know three basic questions: why we are here, where did we come from, and where do we go after this life? Whether we were created from an omnipotent being as in many religions, we happened by chance and made it to where we are through evolution, or maybe even something else. Whatever the case may be, humans have always been curious and wondered about our existence and consciousness. Along with these age old questions, also came the use of psychoactive drugs and other mind altering substances. In order to try to understand these questions, humans have experimented with drugs that alter their state of consciousness.
