This paper reports largely unsurprising findings concerning the demographics of ecstasy use, with most data summarized from publicly available databases such as Monitoring the Future (MTF) and DAWN. After examining these findings, the author concludes that ecstasy is mostly used by young men and women, and most people report using ecstasy no more than twice in a lifetime. An increase in ecstasy use in the US and a concomitant increase in emergency room visits and fatalities have been seen in the last ten years. However, fatalities after ecstasy use are still rare. Most emergency room visits were attributed to overdoses or unexpected reactions, and involved the combination of ecstasy with drugs, most usually ethanol or cannabis. However, the author does note some unexpected findings. During 1999 and 2000, Hispanic high school students reported using more ecstasy over a lifetime, in the past year and in the past month than either White or African American high school students (13.3% versus 10.5% and 1.5% for lifetime, 10.6% versus 7.6% and 1.3% for past month and 4.5% versus 3.3% and 0.9%). In 2000, boys in 8th grade were more likely to report ecstasy use in the past month than girls, though no gender differences in likelihood of ecstasy use were found to exist in samples of older adolescents. Findings from various national surveys indicate that ecstasy is mostly used by adolescents and young adults, and is usually used only once or twice rather than on a regular basis. If experimentation with ecstasy is more common than regular ecstasy use, then research may want to examine the similarities and differences between these groups.
