Just pick one thing at a time. Like this.
The real chemical used for the drug Ecstacy is MDMA (I've forgotten what it stands for, and I'm not cheating in this thread). MDMA is supposed to last about 6 hours and have very little in the way of "hangover". What people usually end up getting is really MDA, which lasts only about half the time, and is harder on the body, but cheaper to make. Since it comes in a pill or powder form, they can be made with anything, and cutting the drug with all kinds of other stuff is rampant. Hence some "Ecstacy related deaths" are actually due to other drugs present in the pills.
Both MDMA and MDA were originally tested for use in depression therapies, as a "super-prozac". They were also used as appetite suppressants.
