Plano Ecstasy Defense Attorney
Ecstasy Overview
Many individuals and parents aren't familiar with MDMA, or "Ecstasy" before they or a loved one is charged with an ecstasy-related drug crime. Ecstasy is usually taken in tablet form and is commonly associated with dance parties or raves. Known for its psychedelic and euphoric effects, many people ecstasy users are unaware of the potentially detrimental health consequences of using ecstasy. These may include clinical depression, anxiety, aggression, headaches, and risk of coma and/or death. It's these risks that have motivated drug enforcement officials to classify ecstasy as a "Group 2" controlled substance in Texas. This means that any possession, possession with intent to sell, delivery, or trafficking charges relating to ecstasy are felony charges and should be taken very seriously.
