Since I don't want to be here I just am writing this up because I need to have a speech done tomorrow on this and I can't find out what extacy is about so I will just sit here and write

Extacy is an illegal synthetic, or designer, drug. Designer drugs mimic an already illegal drug by slightly altering the chemical
composition.
Extacy is also called MDMA (Extacy), which stands for methylenedioxymethamphetamine. The amount of MDMA (Extacy)
needed to get "high" is close to the toxic dose.

Extacy is similar to methamphetamine and MDA, which is another designer drug, in its chemistry, therefore it may have similar
affects to other amphetamines.

Extacy acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system.

Extacy can be found in a capsule or pill form, of various colors. It may also be in powder form.

Extacy is commonly used at "rave" party settings. "Raves" are all night parties known for their dance music and drug
experimentation.
-Other names for Extacy are wonder drug and Extacy, X, Extacy, E, Extacy.-
