ABC NEWS TO AIR ONE-HOUR SPECIAL REPORT ON TODAY'S DRUG OF CHOICE -- ECSTASY 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Greetings! 
here's a note from our friend tommie sunshine who will soon be making his 
return to LA:

i am interviewed as well as footage of me dj'ing at wmc last year please 
spread the word... 
The rise of Ecstasy is a major event in drug history. If current trends 
continue, 1.8 million Americans will try Ecstasy for the first time in 2004; only 
marijuana will attract more new users. Overwhelming, positive word of mouth has 
made Ecstasy a nightmare for drug controllers. On a special edition of 
"Primetime Thursday" Peter Jennings tells the epic story of Ecstasy that has never 
been heard. "Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Rising" airs THURSDAY, APRIL 1st 
at 10pm EST on the ABC Television Network.

In the 1990s, Ecstasy seemed to come out of nowhere to join marijuana, 
cocaine and heroin as one of the four most widely used illegal drugs in the country. 
No other drug has ever spread so fast.

To halt its spread, the U.S. Government has spent millions of dollars making 
a dramatic case against Ecstasy as a dangerous drug. The headline of this 
campaign has been that Ecstasy causes massive brain damage. But this is a claim 
based on flawed science, and many Ecstasy users now feel their government has no 
credibility.

What do we know about the real risks of Ecstasy? Has the government been its 
own worst enemy in the fight to stop the drug's use?

"Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Rising" takes viewers through the seminal 
events in this story and introduces all the major players -- from Alexander 
Shulgin, the famous chemist who was the first person to report the effects of 
Ecstasy, to Michael Clegg, the Dallas businessman who gave Ecstasy its name and 
turned it into a recreational drug, to the drug enforcement officer who led 
the fight to make Ecstasy illegal, to the DJ who brought Rave to America. This 
special tells the definitive story of how an obscure compound, discovered in 
1912 and all but forgotten for over 60 years, became the drug of choice for a 
generation.
