Research indicates that we can change the social norm around use of ecstasy

It is important that we take care of each other while engaging in safer drug use! Believe it or not, you can have a positive effect on your friends' drug use. By testing your drugs and providing your friends with the correct and healthy advice to engaging in use, you can make a difference! If we all adopt this philosophy, we will change a social norm around use. I found an article published in the International Journal of Drug Policy from a research project  conducted by the National Institute of Drug Abuse entitled, "An Exploratory Study of Ecstasy Distribution." The study shows the different perspectives and methods used by individuals such as ourselves when selling or introducing ecstasy to our friends and peers.  As peers, remember- we can have a positive effect on everyone's experience(s) and health!
