Natural MDMA known as Herbal Ecstasy or ‘herbal highs’ by Tomitheos Linardos

Natural Ecstasy known as Herbal Ecstasy or ‘herbal highs’ are part of a new wave of drugs proclaimed as safer, healthier and legal alternatives to illegal drugs. However, studies show that semi-natural or all-natural compounds simulating the effects of MDMA can be just as dangerous as chemically made compounds.

On July 2, 2008, a 55-year-old man collapsed at a popular Toronto club after taking Herbal Ecstasy sold as a natural, safer and legal alternative to the chemically MDMA infused drugs. The Toronto man was later pronounced dead in hospital.

The next day, at the same venue, a Toronto woman collapsed and was rushed to hospital, leaving her in critical condition after ingesting a similar ‘natural, safe and legal’ product.
