Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One of the dangers of using Ecstasy at all-night dances is
A
increased appetite.
B
dehydration.
C
lethargy.
D
pupil constriction.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Severe dehydration can occur from the combination of the effects of ecstasy/molly, increased perspiration from hyperthermia, and the hot and crowded party conditions where people often take the drug.

Detailed explanation-2: -Increased blood pressure and heart rate. In humans, dose-dependent increases in blood pressure and heart rate are the most recognized cardiovascular effects of MDMA.

Detailed explanation-3: -These findings suggest sustained effects of ecstasy on brain microvasculature, white matter maturation and possibly axonal damage due to low dosages of ecstasy. Although we do not know yet whether these effects are reversible or not, we cannot exclude that ecstasy even in low doses is neurotoxic to the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -MDMA is an indirect monoaminergic agonist, stimulating the release and inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) and, to a lesser extent, other neurotransmitters.
