A: In addition to dehydration, there are also secondary effects on the brain. Initial findings show that because of the dehydration, there can be significant neural damage. This is especially true if ecstasy is mixed with alcohol, as both induce a dehydration effect. In severe cases of mixed usage there can be severe brain damage – it is supposed that there is a reduction in cerebro-spinal fluid (the fluid that keeps the brain protected inside your skull), but there is little clinical evidence to support that… yet. Some of the first clinical studies are being done right now to see what ecstasy actually does on a physical level. If you do see any effects, concentration or reasoning difficulty could be some of the first.You are right to be concerned about your friend. Taking any drugs of any sort will have an effect on you – thereby the naming of it it a ‘drug’. I can give you anecdotal evidence against the use of drugs, and some arguments for, but since every situation is different, anecdotal evidence can be useful but is has a more likely chance of making you more confused or worried. If something starts changing in your friend, you will probably notice it. Hopefully she/he will stop using it before it causes any damage (i.e. before it becomes an addictive behaviour and stops being ‘just fun’)Do read the attached wiki.
