susancs Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 hey all -don't know if you remember but a while back i posted about a Peter Jennings documentary on Ecstasy. Well, its now going to air next THURSDAY, APRIL 1st at 10PM EST (9PM MT) on ABC (channel 7). I think you will all be surprised by it - and like it - so tell your friends about it and check it out. And please let me know what you think of it. (pjprod@abc.com) Here's some info on it:“Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Risingâ€Airs Thursday, April 1st, on ABC at 10PM ESTABC NEWS TO AIR ONE-HOUR SPECIAL REPORT ON TODAY’S DRUG OF CHOICE -- ECSTASYThe 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.

susancs Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 My exact involvement in the program was as a production associate - which means I assisted the producers in all aspects of production. And yes, I have done E. In terms of being late with the story...we are quite on top of it as the real story here is about the flawed, government-funded science that was used to launch the campaign against Ecstasy. The retraction of the flawed study happened only several months ago. And the FDA approved clinical trails using Ecstasy to treat PTSD are now just beginning. E use has dropped among teens, but the numbers show that this year the drug will attract more new users than any other drug, except marijuana.
