Ecstasy Use Drops As Impurity Increases

A new report has revealed the use of ecstasy is becoming less popular among Australian drug users.
The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales has found the number of surveyed users nominating ecstasy as their drug of choice last year dropped by 5 per cent since 2009, while weekly use of the drug has almost halved.
The centre's director, Professor Michael Farrell, says this may have to do with the fact 56 per cent of users reported a significant drop in the purity of ecstasy.
That is up from 9 per cent of users who reported the same thing in 2009.
"People stop using when [the drugs] don't deliver the effects that they want from them and they'll spend their money on something else," Professor Farrell said.
"That's particularly if they're regular users, they'll know what to expect and if they're not getting that effect."
Professor Farrell says the findings are consistent with global trends.
"It seems as if some of the fallen purity has been to do with the introduction of some of the precursors, which has made it more difficult for people to make pure ecstasy," he said.
"That seems to be an international phenomenon."
But researchers are concerned synthetic drugs may start becoming more popular, with 16 per cent of users reporting the use of drugs such as mephedrone, which is a synthetic stimulant.
Professor Farrell says although the use of synthetic drugs is small, their popularity needs to be monitored.
"What we have seen internationally is we've seen more use of other drugs like in the UK and in Ireland," he said.
"We've seen some of the use of these internet drugs like mephedrone and other types of stimulants."

Still we hear arguments from folk along the lines of, "Why do people even NEED to take drugs in life? There must be something wrong with them!" and "Glad to hear it! Now perhaps they'll stop doing it!".
Morons.
Nope, the only thing that happens, is people turn to less safe, less researched and probably more dodgily made research chemicals from questionable recipes and sources..
Or people take impure potentially adulterated "Ecstasy" and end up being some statistic of overdose or death that the government/media uses to show the "dangers of ecstasy use"... and WHO made those dangers? Media+Government.
Good one guys, well battled.
