Peter Jennings - Ecstasy Rising Documentary (Full length upload)
Video Overview & Insights
ABC News television documentary with Peter Jennings on the history of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) also known as ecstasy.
I wonder what Nancy Reagan's prescription drug list was made up of?
It includes a short history of the drug and criticizes the negative health claims made by the U.S. government.
The rise of Ecstasy is a major event in drug history. If current trends continue, 1.8 million Americans will try Ecstasy for the first time in 2004.
yeah make that shit illegal so the prisons or criminals or whoever gets rich and they would can lace it with rat poison or some other shit. Banning drugs was never a calculated idea just blind damage control without a backup plan
Only marijuana will attract more new users. Overwhelming, positive word of mouth has made Ecstasy a nightmare for drug controllers.
On a special edition of 'Primetime Thursday' Peter Jennings tells the epic story of Ecstasy that has never been heard.
Peter Jennings died from smoking may he rest in peace

Took my first in the late 90's with friends and continued for a decade and have no ill effects. Only the happiest of memories! Stuff big pharma and their ghouls!
@Heyjoe1411THE BEST DRUG UNTIL 1992...FUCKING CHEMICAL LAB FOR ALL THE SHIT AFTER
@christopheperret1806The most shameful part about this, too, is Jennings was a journalist and just took the DEA's word for it. What did they pay him for? To be a stenographer to power? Bullshit. His job was to question the government's word. With MDMA, I myself found out that it's the setting that it's taken in coupled with the fact that it's often adulterated by other substances by street level drug dealers who also BTW press pills which are WAY too large for a single dose and users would be advised to get a Pill cutter and SPLIT down a smaller dose. The problem in a huge way is the street MDMA is usually mixed with some other drugs and worse too, its taken at Raves and Festivals, which is the worst most dangerous setting to take them in, you can festival though without ending up leaving in a body bag, just take frequent breaks if you dance and FOR GODS FUCKING SAKE, STAY HYDRATED.
@paultidwell8799I TOOK MY FIRST E IN 1988 ITS WAS STRONG FEELING. THE TOUCH THE DEEP.CONVERSATION YOU FEEL LIKE ON A CLOUD AND THE PILL WAS STRONG. BUT IN 1992 THE SHIT. ARRIVED
@christopheperret180630 years on, and mdma is still not approved for medical (psychiatry) uses…
@LMB22230 years, and the experience still haunts me.
@ldshasnobrainRIP Shulgin
@Joe_Lifts_37Anyone know the track name at 19:50?
@SwordfishGuruIf only it had of spread far and wide and was easily accessible.... mdma could be the only depression medication the world needs.
@ChaoticFury40:07 EXTREMELY RARE although not impossible as now pill presses are easily bought and E is often sold in capsules as well, so,.. yes it's often adulterated with BULLshite but RARELY HEROIN or PCP. I have however seen Methamphetamine and caffeine in A LOT of pills (which is a bad combo.. three stimulants.. synergistic effect would be bad) As well as things like Ketamine and other exotic hallucinogens and empathogens. Be very careful, test ur pills however you can.. obviously mass spec is the bust but at least a reagent kit of some kind is necessary
@dmvconartists1855What year ecstacy got popular? Like 1996-1999 I feel like it really took off cuz I remember like 2000-2005 was like the whole "Ecstacy is deadly.. it's an epidemic it's cut with heroin and crack.. " meanwhile the opioid epidemic was the real problem going on. I remember those days well... in 2005-2006 you could buy a Pink "double stack" molly for 15 bucks or you could buy and oxy 20mg for 15... and for our area the oxy got way more popular. Ppl would do X once in a while but they would do Coke & oxy together like everyday. Yeah my school was F#$Ked up!!!
@dmvconartists1855Let the E be free ❤❤❤❤❤
@shaunaustralia9906The first part of the documentary has a fear mongering slant but everyone they interview has a five star review for Molly/Ecstasy! 😂
@J-TwoTwentyTwoTrack name at 22:55 ?
@techno.science2023 and the government is STILL losing to the war against drugs. 🤣 Destroying lives and making it MORE dangerous. 😑
Just say NO to politicians and bigger government. ✌
THANK YOU JRE
@MexicanMagaDEA and FDA are the most vile institutions on Earth. They seemed so concerned about our health so they demonize the shit out of substances like MDMA that do marginal harm if any when taken responsibly, but at the same time they would go after and make terrorists of people like dr Burzynski who developed an effective cure for cancer in 70s because it was too effective and cancer treatment is to much profitable for them to put an end to it.
@willyfuckinwonka9411obvious the feds paid "the good Dr." Ricaurte 2include undesirable <fear mongering> effects in his
research regardless of the accuracy/factual data.drugs bring people 2gether breaking the barriers
of social bk grounds/financial classes < we the people are 2powerful when we stand as ONE> we are easier 2control broken up[political
ideals, rich & poor ect] Also chemist making profits from their creations cant be taxed. gov wants 2control every aspect of how u live[what
to believe, what goes into ur body ect] fact is alcohol/nicotine/caffeine are drugs~substances ingested 2change the way one feels~all 3 are
highly addictive w/ no medical value .most of us have high tolerance 2caffeine{cant feel the rush}not realizing going w/out it creates
w/d~mood swing, cant function w/out~ask urselves real reason why "free" law abiding tax paying citizens arent allowed 2choose
what they put into their bodies 4fear of breaking their b/s laws/ b/s war on"us"drugs
Is there any one talking about micro dosing? Like the mushrooms?
@theelvenpath9490The government was mad because it killed alcohol sales..bars don't make much of water..lol
@chrishendricks1160Hi guys. Does anybody know the song playing at around 22:50?? Is that a Frankie Bones track?? DAMN HOT
@christianspangenberger4724Just say no? Say no thank you, you ungrateful shite
@TH-bj1pbThis fool at around 2 minutes compares taking E to playing Russian roulette. So, fatso.... that would mean 1 in every 6 people who take E will die, which is clearly untrue. As they say in America... you do the math 😂😂😂 Harmless fun and highly recommended
@joescully1712why would anyone want a drugless america
@mynuts4201luckily im in oregon so no one boutta do shit about my use
@mynuts4201One of the 3 best feeling of my whole life, I used to watch this documentary long before becoming a chemist. Such a magic molecule... goosebumps
@AleChemist23This is why Peter Jennings was and always will be one of my favorite broadcast journalists, if not my number one favorite. He presented all sides of whatever he covered and left it up to us, his audience, to decide where we stood rather than spoon feeding us everything.
@DorvellTStewartStupid govt. uses flawed study to say E is dangerous. And they wonder why the kids don't believe a word they say!
@Hana666555All you MDMA users, look out for that "bullet in the brain!" 1:56. This so reminds me of the paranoid, delusional understanding of marijuana in the 1936 movie, Reefer Madness. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has been doing great work around the therapeutic benefits of MDMA. Yes, there are dangers, as with many things in life. But I think these DEA employed people may want to try MDMA so they know WTF they're talking about.
@flappytacoMy comment about the video this is a great video Truth speaks to power people supporting each other doing what's necessary in our society helping each other for whatever it takes telling the truth it's no harm done people need to know experience that the American people have gone through that beat us to what we are today more people should know about this report in the time it was given I shared this video with others for educational purposes only Each one should teach many
@alshaw64761:56 What a prick. Comparing an activity with a risk of killing you less than 1 in 1,000,000 to an activity with a 1 in 6 risk.
@FourthRootCigarrette damage the lung , so what the fuss with the mdma ?
@SkySe7enMDMA cured my depressio. MDMA made me more compassionate & open minded. I also found life long friends.
@WallStBetsLobbyBIO 490 CHECKING IN
@ryushuANYBODY track ID @ 22:36 ?
@sniperslimI've never used X, I just stay out of that scene...but....this news piece was well made and very informative.
@warrenedmmy firdt pill was in 1993---dennisthemenace,,pinknewyorkers..#dollars #discobiscuits #rhubarbcustard #doves #purplehearts....#dreamers
@scottthomson4561the drug war has and will always be fraudulent...it's about money and power and nothing else.
@misterfunnI wanted no part of being in this documentary because I didn't believe Peter Jennings was going to actually be able to do something like this for ABC. And when I had a meeting with him and his staff, I saw clips of what they were doing, and i set "wow, O.K. I get it.".......
@FrankieBonesRecently got some Molly. Afraid to take it before I test it...
@jasonscroggins7990Rolling on MDMA right now while watching this documentary. Haha
@helmetband'll never forget the first time I did Es back in 2005 in a nightclub with a trustworthy friend. I still remember the experience to this day. I dropped an E before going into the club and felt the waves going up and down…cut a long story short, I felt this unconditional love to everyone in that moment, it was like everyone was just having their own blissful experience and without an ego. I perceived everyone in a respectful way and I’ve never felt, heard dance music, like that before! It was like I was the music.
I know these stimulant drugs are in no way near to psychedelic drugs, but for me, It was like a spiritual awakening at some level, I just felt ALIVE!
Make sure you get a test kit be safe
@mtmbloodmoney84MDMA used properly is great medicine
@mtmbloodmoney84MDMA IS NOT NEUROTOXIC! MDMA releases serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine all of which are renewable resources in the brain serotonin levels regenerate completely after 30 days so using mdma once a month can’t hurt you if you do it responsibly.
@nathanowen4817It's no where near like Russian roulette when you go about it the correct way and always test your substances.but I am not condoneing any consumption of any illegal drugs.
@nathenherrell3886They wouldn’t be putting themselves in as much risk if ecstasy was legal and regulated
