Growing problem ecstasy spread alarms officials
New York City officials warn ecstasy is spreading nationwide with rising seizures at Kennedy Airport from 68 pounds in 1997 to 858 pounds in 1999. Federal agents report 8 million doses seized this year, far above prior years, as use grows among teens and adults. Police say the issue could worsen, with 2 million tablets smuggled weekly into the United States. MDMA, the drug, costs under 50 cents to synthesize and sells for about $20, linking to parties and nightlife. Authorities urge parents to talk with kids, monitor changes in behavior, and know party hosts and paraphernalia to prevent harm.
