The history of ecstasy, its discovery and use and social implications.

A remarkably complete, courageous and well-researched work. – American Book Review

Bruce Eisners book will do much to dispel misconceptions about MDMA. – Dr. Stanley Krippner

There are other drugs besides coffee (yes, I know, this conceit is getting stretched beyond its limits) that people want to hear about. Berkeleys Ronin Press, as usual way ahead of the rest in this field, is reissuing its 1989 work, Ecstasy: The MDMA Story by Bruce Eisner, just in time for the beginning of the first official studies on MDMA (scheduled to start about now at UCLA, though those plans may have been shifted). This new edition includes descriptions of the influence of Ecstasy on the rave scene, a discussion of the new studies, and a chemical analysis of this very popular but illegal drug. – Express Books-Publishers Row, Feb. 1994, Melanie Curry.
