Hello guys. Summer is over. Today I am going to
talk about the Spanish young people favourite drug. It is called “crystal” or
“MDMA” . This drug is characterized for its affective effects as well as
euphoria, happiness and and joy. Besides all that, there is a lack of tiredness
during its effects, which last around six hours. Due to its affective effects
this drug was named “love drug” . People who consume this drug fancy to say “I
love you” to whoever is around; friends, partner, or even the club’s bouncer.
This drug also increases sexual desire, which means crystal consumers have a
high chance of having intercourse during MDMA effects. In addition, another
effect is such consumers feel really confident and do not appreciate risks at
all. It means they probably will engage in high-risks behaviours such as having
sex without condon. MDMA is usually sold in powder. It also can be sold in
pills but people prefer in powder because there is more purity, around 85 %.
One gram costs 60 euros and it is possible to make around ten doses with it.
The short-term risks of this drug are heat wave, tachycardia, arrhythmia,
dehydration and overdose. The long-term risks are related to anxiety attacks,
depression and psychotic disorders. All of them will develop memory problems,
humour changes, and hallucinations. Why Spanish young people take this serious
drug? I have interviewed a consumer who didn’t want to say his name so I will
call him Nicolas. Nicolas told me he takes MDMA every weekend as he goes
parties with his friends.
“the rush is amazing. You feel really well. It
is the funniest drug. As I take MDMA I feel confident and talk to many people
so I make a lot of friends. I spend many hours dancing, smiling, laughing… I
really like the pleasure feeling that this drug gives me. The hangover is less
hard than alcohol. I use to have headache on Sundays but the worst thing takes
place on Monday. Then is when effects really end. At that time I feel
depression. I am with very bad temper and do not want to talk to any colleague
in my workplace. My sensitivity is really down and sometimes I spend long time
crying. My girlfried refuses to meet me such days. I have had some
hallucinations from time to time. The point is to control yourself, be quiet
and say to yourself it is not happening. It is not real. One day my
hallucination was very scary. I saw a snake at my bedroom while sleeping. I was
able to avoid get into panic telling to myself it was just a hallucination. I
don’t think I could dye with this drug. I don’t want to kill myself. I am able to
control this drug. I only seek having fun at weekends with my friends”.
There are not high cases of death concerning
this drug. However there are many cases related to
menthal problems, depression and schizophrenia.
After interviewing Nicolas I found out he didn’t know the real risks. Once
more, the problem resides in some people are not enquired. They have the
Internet, which can become a good resourse to get enquired.
However they prefer using the Internet to chat on facebook, twitter, messenger
or Skype. I have just watched a very interesting video on youtube about this
drug. It is called “the most dangerous drug” . And I also put up a video about
Spanish people with MDMA effects one single Saturday night. I would urge you to
watch both videos and send a comment telling your view about this topic. See
you !!!!
