The
Ecstasy Prevention Act of 2001 (S. 1208) was introduced in the United States Senate
on July 19, 2001, by Senator Bob Graham of Florida. An almost
identical bill (H.R. 2582) with the same title, was introduced the following
day in the House of Representatives by Representative John Mica (R-Fla).
An report
by the Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics (CCLE) shows that this new bill, while giving lip-service to generating
more scientific data about the health consequences of MDMA (Ecstasy),
directs over 22 million dollars to increased law enforcement, media propaganda,
the creation of a new MDMA drug test, and coerces communities to ban
"rave" clubs.
