Back again, heading for the top, MDMA is rampant in schools and in the playgrounds of Los Angeles.
I have watched this trend for a while now. In the year 2000, it was everywhere in town. It was glorified by youg adults as a safe alternative to meth or cocaine and the party/rave scene was really heating up.

There was a national push to increase awareness about ecstasy and the numbers fell back to a much lower plateau. I could easily see it in the schools and our rehab counselors were seeing a little drop too. The changes that happen in the street with availability and quality show up at the treatment centers, but not right away. There seems to be a lag at the intake counter. But there is no lag in the high schools. I can watch the trends with some confidence that the story I’m getting is pretty accurate.
