Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Ecstasy use can result in a feeling of euphoria, a sense of intimacy with others, and diminished anxiety.

Between 2002 and 2006, the percentage of teens aged 12 to 17 perceiving great risk declined for the following substance use patterns: trying heroin once or twice (from 58.5 to 57.2 percent), using heroin once or twice a week (from 82.5 to 81.2 percent), using cocaine once a month (from 50.5 to 49.0 percent), and using LSD once or twice a week (from 76.2 to 74.7 percent). Over the same period, however, the percentage of teens aged 12 to 17 indicating great risk for using cocaine once or twice a week (79.8 percent in 2002 and 79.2 percent in 2006) and for trying LSD once or twice (52.6 percent in 2002 and 51.6 percent in 2006) remained unchanged.

For boys, current nonmedical use of psychotherapeutics declined from 3.2 percent in 2007 to 2.6 percent in 2008, driven in part by a decline in pain reliever misuse from 2.6 to 2.0 percent. Current use of crack by boys also decreased in this time period from 0.4 to 0.2 percent. There were no significant changes in the use of these drugs among girls.

Some doses of Ecstasy can cause seizures.
