Today Ecstasy is most often distributed at late-night parties called "raves", nightclubs, and rock concerts.

Vicodin
Side Effects 
Vicodin is one of the most
commonly abused prescription pain medications today. Vicodin and related medications,
loricet, loritab percodan, and oxycontin are opioid-based pain medications.
Vicodin is a derivative of opium, which also used to manufacture heroin. Vicodin
successfully diminishes pain, but it is highly addictive and withdrawal symptoms
of Vicodin addiction are very similar to the pain it was relieving. Over
months of Vicodin use, Vicodin's side effects will become greater and more damaging.
Vicodin side effects include
but are not limited to:
- constipation
- speeding up or the slowing
down of the heart rate
- nausea
- dizziness
- blurred vision
- hallucinations
- sever confusion
- lightheadedness
- dizziness
- sedation
- constipation
- nausea
- vomiting
- respiratory depression
