Ecstasy Or Death at the Club
Ambulances frequently park outside Raves (a large dance and party in a big space-much like old fashioned discotheques.) They aren’t on call to treat those who might faint from overdoing it on the dance floor. They are on standby to save the lives of any teens that might overdose on ecstasy. Ecstasy and Raves are almost synonymous. Where there are Raves there is ecstasy and where there is ecstasy there is potential harm or death.
While it might seem to make the dance floor more fun, for some, it is their Swan Dance.
An estimated 12.4 million Americans aged 12 or older tried ecstasy at least once in their lifetimes, representing 5% of the U.S. population in that age group, according to the 2007 National Survey on Drug Abuse and Health (NSDUH).
Ecstasy is a synthetic drug chemically similar to the methamphstimulant etamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. (The main component of ecstasy is methylenedioxymethamphetamine or MDMA.)
