A friend of mine (19 year old female) took ecstacy for the first time at a 
club last weekend. Here is what she wrote about it:

       "Speeding. Nervousness. Loss of desire, partly ability, to speak. 
	Sensitivity to sound. Confusion, increasing fear. It all happens 
	very suddenly. Great fear, shaking, things look & seem the same yet 
	totally different. Senses heightened & perspective badly altered. 
	Sense of rushing out badly. Terror, sudden heat & sweating. 
	Inability to move or speak. Unwillingness to look around - world too 
	strange - very frightening. Sudden vomiting - easy, not unpleasant, 
	but not supressable. Feel better, but world different, not like acid 
	where hallucinations seperable from reality, things more part of 
	your own thoughts. Few more minutes of fear, decreasing. Then - +/- 
	6hrs of starnge, gentle joy & affection. Hug trees! Even pain 
	decreases gradually. Feel slightly strange (quite lethargic) for +/- 
	24hrs. 1st time Ecstacy user."
