How is it that speed & meth are addictive but ecstasy isn't?

Question

aren't they all pretty much the same thing?

Answer 1

ecstasy is addictive

ecstasy isnt just pur MDMA like it used to be so really its not truly ecstasy

differemt ecstasy pills are made with both speed and meth

Answer 2

meth is just a bunch of ******* deadly household chemicals combined like cat food and windex and dust off and salt and chlorine and stain remover and detergent and gas

by the way never have s*x or whack it when on exstasy or it will never be the same again... trust me i learned the hard way and now s*x just sucks

Answer 3

Meth, speed and cocaine are stimulants, and are always potentially highly addictive - same with downers (reds, oxycontin, etc.)

Ecstacy is a hallucigen, like shrooms and LSD - they are'n't particularly addictive (i.e., you won't have withdrawals) but are still very habit forming, just like marijuana.

They can really take over your life and if you do it to much can all lead to long term consequences such as memory loss, depression and even suicidal tendencies.

Best luck.

Don't take drugs to have fun - have real fun instead (what a concept?)

Answer 4

have u ever taken ecstasy? it gives you a feeling that most people dont crave all the time. And it doesn't always feel good. It feels like you just won the lottery over and over for hours and hours and can exhaust you. My first time i took to many and was scared shitless

Answer 5

speed and meth are close to ecstasy but when it comes down to it chemical makeup ecstasy is different enough to not be not addicting (or as) and to have a completely different effect.

meth (S)-N,a-Dimethylbenzene-ethanamine; d-N-methylamphetamine;

MDMA 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine

see the diffrence in the chemical name that what gives its properties and makes its different from anything else.

Answer 6

all three are addictive and the first two are the same thing, ecstasy is MDMA which is a synthesized compound. True MDMA (untampered-with) has no meth in it. Sometimes people that make the MDMA, put other drugs into the pills too. Pure E, however is very different from speed. Speed (meth) is an upper, a stimulant. (It keeps you awake for days at a time, full of energy, then you crash hard.) X, however, is a hallucinogen, which makes you feel like you love everyone and everything, and makes you see stuff. Very different. And both are addictive, it's just speed/meth is easier to notice the addiction to. X is addictive mainly psychologically. Speed is addicitive both bodily and mentally.

Answer 7

No they're not - not that Ive ever taken these kinda drugs... Ecstasy is based on the same concepts as anti-depressants. They release seratonin (happy hormone) into the blood stream. They are not CHEMICALLY addictive, although as with any nice feeling they can make you want to go back for more... especially the next day when you wake up with a low. The body gets really depleted of seratonin - i am under the impression there is only so much the body can produce. Gradually this leaves users with pervasive depression and as it is stronger dosed that anti depressants off the doctor may be, the negative side effects are stronger
