Ecstasy causes depression in pigs
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 10 (UPI) -- Danish scientific experiments where Ecstasy was adminstered to pigs may help to explain depression in humans abusing the drug.
The three-year study conducted at the PET Center at Arhus Hospital in Denmark showed the recreational drug caused depression in laboratory pigs, reported The Copenhagen Post Friday.
The scientists injected pigs with varying doses of Ecstasy to study the effect the drug has on the pigs' brains.
Pigs' brains are similar to human brains.
"We have proven that Ecstasy releases seratonin in the brain, which we know plays a role in depression," said Dr. Aage Kristian Olsen at Arhus Hospital. "Ecstasy users risk depression given its long-term effects on the brain."
The scientists noted that pigs on Ecstasy lost control of their body temperature, an effect also seen in human overdose fatalities, Olsen said.

I've seen what it has done to some people I know and they are just different.. | I have a friend that's on E, he's constantly in and out of jail. We used to be best friends, I bailed him out of jail a few times, sometimes it took up my whole weeks paycheck and he never payed me back. I would do anything for my friends, but I told him if he didn't stop doing drugs we couldn't be friends anymore. He is yet to stop, and I haven't talked to him in a year and a half. Last I heard he pushed his pregnant girlfriend down the stairs. I really wish I could help him.

Level up: 44%, 161 Points needed | | I would have to think that it would be the after effects of ecstasy that would cause depression, the crash after the high. This is only based on what I've read about it, because I've never used it. I do remember stories of people dying from drinking too much water while high on E, so I don't think it's so safe as to be made legal.
