Facts
Ecstasy affects a number of body systems. The effects of ecstasy on the brain system are what lead to both the desired and undesired mental effects of the drug. Within the brain, there are different groups of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters that are responsible for the communication within the brain and between the brain and the body. Neurotransmitters flow from one neuron (nerve cell) to another, where they individually attach to sites called receptors, and trigger a signal or message from the sending neuron. Pumps, called transporters, then return neurotransmitters to the neuron that released them to be stored for future use.
Based on reports from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, nations in the Americas seized the majority of cocaine in 2003, accounting for 87% of the world’s seizures. These statistics are similar to the data supplied to the General Secretariat from member states. European nations follow with 13% of seizures. The United States seized the greatest amount of cocaine, followed by Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Mexico and Brazil.
The use of ‘dependence’ as a descriptive construct has gradually replaced the term ADDICTION, particularly in the clinical field. In the early 1980s, the World Health Organization proposed the DEPENDENCE SYNDROME concept, which as noted above, emphasizes the behaviour of the individual in relation to the substance, and also attempts to integrate biological, psychological and social factors contributing to addiction. The terms addiction and drug addict have historically had a negative connotation, with emphasis on failure of will or moral weakness. In contrast, the dependence syndrome concept is meant to underscore the medical model of addiction, in which it is considered as disease or disorder amenable to diagnosis and treatment. It should also be noted that the concept of dependence, as described above, has also been applied to other types of dependent behaviours, such as ‘addictions’ to sex, television, gambling, food, and exercise. While there may be some overlap in pathological patterns of behaviour, the notion as applied to these situations is controversial and less well studied.
Illegal drugs and violence are linked primarily through drug marketing: disputes among rival distributors, arguments and robberies involving buyers and sellers, property crimes committed to raise drug money and, more speculatively, social and economic interactions between the illegal markets and the surrounding communities.
