It is known as a designer drug because it was created for the purpose of making someone feel high. The drug is popular with teens and young adults who go to clubs, concerts, or "rave" parties. Users think the drug will make them feel good and keep them going for days without rest. But people who use Ecstasy don't realize how dangerous this drug is.
Ecstasy has become one of the most common illegal drugs sold on the streets. In the last few years, Ecstasy has sent many people to emergency rooms because of its dangerous side effects. The mucus tends to trap a lot of the powder stopping immediate absorption, effectively slowly down the absorption into the nose.
Of course, you also end up swallowing quite a bit of it as well, often noticed as the foul taste in your mouth when you sniff and swallow. Snorting usually results in a more rapid onset of action than oral use because the nasal membrane is very porous and some of the drug gets directly into the blood stream by being absorbed directly into the blood vessels lining the nose.
Snorting also generally results in more drug being absorbed when you swallow. Although snorting drugs allows some of drug to avoid being broken down by the liver on its first pass through the body, the lining of the nose does in fact contain enzymes so not all the snorted MDMA escapes untouched.

Dissolve that powder in a drink and you may increase the speed of absorption even more. This becomes important when thinking about re-dosing over the course of a session.
What about an accidental death due to overdose? Mixing ecstasy and alcohol is popular, and often used recreationally. Ecstasy, or MDMA is an illegal drug that acts as both a stimulant and psychedelic , producing an energizing effect, as well as distortions in time and perception and enhanced enjoyment from tactile experiences.
It is sometimes produced in tablet form and taken orally, but it can also be dissolved and injected, crushed, taken rectally, or snorted. Originally, the drug was developed as an appetite suppressant and later used as a possible supplement to psychotherapy. MDMA affects the brain by changing neurotransmitter activity, which enables nerve cells in the brain to communicate with one another. It also releases norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter responsible for heart rate and blood pressure, which is why these increase when using ecstasy.
Beyond the short term effects, MDMA causes long term negative effects on the brain. When snorted, ecstasy rapidly enters the bloodstream and can cause dangerous side effects, including:.
