Product Overview

'Being on ecstasy is like being in love, with everything and everyone around you. My name's Lise. I'm twenty-eight and I took ecstasy every weekend for two years. Then my life fell completely to pieces. Now I want to know what ecstasy did to my brain and were all those nights of partying really worth it.' – Lise

The Agony of Ecstasy, a documentary directed and produced by Katrina Lucas, tells the story of 28-year-old Lise's decision to find out if her former ecstasy habit has damaged her health. Convinced that ecstasy use is behind her struggle with anxiety, depression and memory-loss, Lise wants to know the truth about the 'love drug'.
