What is Ecstasy (E, X, XTC)?
Ecstasy should be 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), but on the street it is often a close chemical relative like MDA or MDE. It may also on occasion be a mixture of unrelated chemicals like LSD and/or methamphetamine (speed). Contrary to popular belief E is not laced with heroin, heroin costs too much, is very different in its effects, and is not active orally; the only possibility is a heroin/MDMA mix for snorting or injecting. What people think of as effects caused by heroin are often just MDA or MDE.
