What are the social consequences of half the young people in England taking Ecstasy at raves?

Personal accounts are included of people who believe the drug has altered the course of their lives, for better and for worse.
"The book is heavy with references (well over a hundred), plus a bibliography containing summaries of hundreds of scientific reports (written by Alexander Shulgin). Yet, for all that, it is easy reading with the academic papers pushed to the back of the book." – Human Potential
"An impartial, objective and unsensationalized examination of the "E" phenomenon which informs and advises anyone concerned with the substance." – 24-7
