This will be on Sunday evening, it is about the Houston drug scene. This should be interesting.

Well...Dallas does take credit for bringing Ecstasy into Texas (and United States) back in the mid 80's at the infamous Starck Club.

I was only joking but that is not a drug worth bragging about. It's acid for soccer moms.

What is interesting is that Nacho Libre dude.... probably took a trip to Fiesta, or the Flea Market on 59 to get that head sock, or whatever it is called.

The series does look interesting. Houston does have a pretty seedy underbelly beyond anything I've seen compared to other major cities (outside of the South). The Northside, imo, is a big no mans wasteland of activity.

Ecstasy is totally different from Acid unless you get a hold of some that's been laced, but usually X is laced with Speed hence why its such a popular club drug. Its makes you wanna dance all night/morning long.

Pure MDMA is less risky health wise than the Speed, Acid, or Heroin laced Ecstasy because it gives you a cleaner high. The only way to know they're pure MDMA is to test the pills.

Ecstasy was HUGE in Houston back in the late 90's early 2000's.

This was one of the largest Ecstasy busts ever.

All the working stiffs that like to toke up every now and then or partake in any other vice are not going to let Nat Geo photograph them or put footage of them on TV. They have jobs to worry about lol.
