the obama "ecstasy" pills aren't actually ecstasy at all - they contain no MDMA (ecstasy) or any derivative thereof. the active ingredient in these pills is really a chemical known as BZP, which mimics some effects of MDMA (dilated pupils so you get visual tracers, and speedy stimulant effects) but actually make for an EXTREMELY unpleasant experience involving intense nausea, paranoia, sweating, irregular heartbeat, and headache.

ironic in that they are presented as something they aren't, kinda like obama himself.

at any rate, if you encounter these outside of a news article on your computer screen DO NOT TAKE THEM. i promise, you will regret it.
