		Ecstasy usually comes in the form of pills that contain the synthetically manufactured MDMA blended with other, more familiar drugs such as heroin or cocaine.
		People come in when they're using drugs excessively and have been caught, so there are probably kids using ecstasy or so but not to the point to go into a hospital, or to affect school work, or some scenario where attention is drawn to you," he said.
		What the survey did not indicate, however, was where the children accessed the drugs, or why they chose to take ecstasy rather than opt for more readily available and familiar substances like ganja, cigarettes or alcohol.

		All the while Julius is drawn more and more into the war to keep Italy and the Papacy free from French interference, hoping to preserve the church and the Holy City, as well as a degree of immortality in the completed artwork.
		The Agony and the Ecstasy is a beautifully produced but ultimately uninvolving epic.
		While it effectively (and sometimes amusingly) lays out the conflicts between Michelangelo and Julius, the artist's internal struggles are forced into the type of self-conscious dialogue that is the hallmark of films about artists' dilemmas.

		Law enforcement in Austin says that's not the case, claiming instead that their recently redoubled efforts to combat the spread of ecstasy, undertaken in conjunction with Federal DEA advisement, are merely a long-overdue attempt to head off a burgeoning drug crisis that threatens to overshadow the mid-Eighties horror show of crack cocaine.
		Of immediate concern to civil libertarians are the methods being employed in the name of stamping out ecstasy and related "club drugs." Aimed at the drug's and dealer's ranks, measures such as the Ecstasy Prevention Act are also threatening to stamp out promoters, clubs, and an entire musical substratum.
		We can debate ecstasy for as long as we want, but it's illegal, it does bad things to people; studies are coming out that it can have long-term effects on your memory, and it's no good.

	From Our Readers: The Agony and Ecstasy of Tea
		Let's take the ecstasy first, for once you've discovered the pleasures of drinking really good tea, and once you've trained your clunky palate to respond to some of the less subtle nuances of a fine tea, then it truly can be an ecstasy – of sorts.
		I have drunk teas – not many, mind you – that have caused me to give forth an involuntary exclamation of delight as the liquid washed over my palate and the signals rushed along my nerve channels and exploded in the synapses of a pleasure center in some deep, dusty corner of my brain.
		This then, is my sad tale of the agony and the ecstasy of tea, though not necessarily in that order, depending on what kind of day it is.

	HISTORY OF MEXICO - MEXICO'S LINCOLN: THE ECSTASY AND AGONY OF BENITO JUAREZ - BY JIM TUCK IN MEXICO CONNECT
		Perhaps the greatest dividend attained by the informal but highly effective alliance between Abraham Lincoln and Benito Juárez was the way it served to ease the bitterness felt by Mexicans thanks to the disastrous consequences of the U.S.-Mexican War.
		The ecstasy of Juárez's career came in the heroic years when he remained steadfast during the Reform War and the war against Maximilian; the agony came in the anticlimactic five years between 1867, when Maximilian was executed, and 1872, the year of his death.
		It is virtually axiomatic in history that a period of glory is followed by one of letdown and leaders who acquire an almost godlike status during the glory years are subject to a sharp and sudden downward revision of their image.

		After a decade of declining profits in Hollywood where Biblical epics were concerned, Twentieth Century Fox's "The Agony and The Ecstasy" (1966) managed to recapture much of the glory, if not the box office, of that sort of '50s storytelling without getting too religious.
		Overall, then, this presentation of "The Agony and The Ecstasy" is still something of a compromise for the home theater audience, as much of a compromise as the film is itself with regards to taking history directly and seriously.
