| | Club Drugs: Ecstasy (MDMA), GHB (Grievous Bodily Harm, Liquid X) and Rohypnol |
 | | Empathogen or Entactogen - The first term used to describe the effects of ecstasy was Empathogenesis and ecstasy was first labeled an Empathogen by psychotherapist Ralph Metzner, friend and co-author to Timothy Leary, the guru of the psychedelic movement of the 1960s. |
 | | Later, David Nicholas, Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Purdue University, insisted on re-labeling the drug an Entactogen, because of the negative association to the roots of the word Empathogen, which is from the greek Pathos, meaning suffering. |
 | | He made the case that Entactogen better described the drug, as it's roots were the greek En, meaning within, Tactus, meaning touch and Gen meaning produce (4, 5, 6). |
