ECSTASY HAS DESTROYED MY SON'S LIFE

HERE IS A COMMENT FROM AN EARLIER POST I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP TO THE FRONT FOR ALL OF YOU TO READ AND THINK ABOUT! THANK YOU GAYLE! (BETH)

Ectasy has destroyed my son's life. The use of this drug has been at epidemic proportion for several years now and is being swept under carpets all over this country. No one wants to admit it is a problem in their town.

My son was a very good athlete and was introduced to this drug at a neighborhood party. He began hallucinating and knew something was wrong. An ambulance was called and he was brought to the hospital where he was given Tylenol for his headache and released that same evening and told not to do drugs anymore!! He walked home at 3:00 AM 5 miles and could have been killed because he was so high. He continued to hallucinate for several weeks and finally committed to a psychiatric hospital where he spent the next two months heavily medicated.

It has been four years and he has never been the same. He is on 3 different meds, is 100% disabled, is unable to hold down a job, and is not the same person he once was. He used to be a happy fun-loving kid who made friends easily and was a likeable human being. Despite the medication, he is now unhappy, depressed, irritable, unreasonable, and unmotivated. Hospitals and professionals are ill equipped and not up to date on exactly what this drug does. Psychiatrists are treating their patients with medication that simply doesn't work after an ecstasy drug overdose. I don't know what is going to become of my son at this point. My entire family has been affected by this drug. Young adults need to be bombarded with real life information on this drug in an effort to prevent this from happening to anyone else!

Dear Gayle,

You are SO RIGHT ON!! It just flips me out how little most people really care about these drugs, and yes, these are the drugs that the kids think are safe, fun, and what's the big deal here about it!! They are tricked into thinking these drugs are not as bad as.... heroin or whatever other drug ... they will name in that place!

And do you know what? As Glen, an undercover narcotics officer says in my film, "The Parents even say, 'Well at least it's not heroin or some other drug,' when in fact ecstasy can be more dangerous than those other drugs!"


I don't do what I do because I'm some anti-drug finatic! I do this because I KNOW our kids need to have a chance to know what can happen. This is not some super safe drug, that maybe used to be legal, so it's really O.K. to take! Ecstasy is not legal, therefore you do not know who is making it, what is in it, and so on!

I am really concerned about the future of our younger generation! How can anyone hold a job if they have no memory? How about the horrible depression?

I would love to hear from more of you out there that care about what is happening to our kids! Please do submit your comments!


Thank you again, Gayle, for sharing with us! You may never know who and how many you have helped, but I can bet you, it's more than you will ever think!

I would love to talk to your son and let him tell everyone what this has done to him. If you would be interested in anything like this, just send me a private e-mail to Beth@voiceofthevictims.com.

Take Care,

Beth

That doesn't sound like an MDMA problem at all. I literally know hundreds of people that take tested MDMA (AKA "Clean Pills") that have never experienced anything like what your son is experiencing. If you read up on ecstasy's history, it was used for all kinds of therapeutic uses before its emergency scheduling placed on May 31st, 1985. One study showed that only 2 deaths occured while over 110,000,00 doses were administered to people on just pure MDMA. Unfortunately since its placement as a Shedule I drug, criminals came into the picture and started producing it, sometimes cutting it with cheaper drugs such as meth and speed to increase profits. My bet is your son has definitely had contact with such pills. I highly recommend you watch a documentary called "Ecstasy Rising" which you can find in a google search on the internet. Hope this was helpful, with my regards to your son.

Your son did ecstasy once and you call him 100% disabled. Get a grip, it's probably you who caused these problems not Mandy.
