Ecstasy and the Rise of the Chemical Generation

Drug users are no longer a mad, bad or immoral minority. Using drugs is normal for the chemical generation, and the drug that defines them is ecstasy. This book about ecstasy users' lives is based on a government funded project and gives voice to the chemical generation. The effects of the manufacture, distribution and use of ecstasy are now being felt across much of the globe. In the UK, where the study was conducted, over fifty percent of young people use drugs, a quarter of them regularly. This book considers the question of the long-term effects of ecstasy.
