The DEA also is skeptical about the drug's therapeutic uses and sees it as a recreational drug that can cause brain damage. Feldham said.
"We see it as a health threat," he said.
Ecestasy is popular with students and other young people, who pay up to $25 a tablet, say users of the drug. The drug is especially popular in Texas, California, Florida and northwest.
However, the drug appears to be less popular in Lawrence.
*Cocaine and marijuana are the most common drugs in Lawrence at the time.*
Det. Carrol Crossfield, a drug enforcement officer with the Lawrence Police Department, said he had not heard of cessation being used in
George Hickman, assistant director of the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, said ecstasy usage could not be singled out as a problem among Lawrence users.
"Most drug users abuse a wide range of substances," he said. "The biggest increase in popularity of any one substance over the last couple of years in Lawrence has been with cocaine."
Hickman said that drug use often followed regional patterns and that the East and West coasts tended to dictate the popularity of new drugs.
But eestasy is not really a new drug, he said.
"This drug has been around for years," he said. "It has been used in psychiatric experiments and in psychotherapy. It's an amphetamine derivative that has quasihilucinogenic effects."
Some users said ecstasy had the same effects as cocaine, but without some of the unpleasant aftereffects.
Mary, who asked not to be identified, visited KU friends recently in Lawrence. She said from her home in Dallas that she had she experienced a sudden rush of energy by using easty.
"I felt great," she said.
"Everything seemed so pleasant. I was real enthused. There were no effects and the next day I felt fine.
Mary said ecstasy tablets were available over the counter at Dallas nightclubs for $7-$13, but last week she found a same scarce and the price rose to $25
Mike Thompson, a senior at Southern Methodist University, said ectasy had been used openly by SMU students in Dallas.
"Everyone said it was all-natural and couldn't hurt you," he said. People thought it was real safe and it didn't matter. "I didn't know what was in it."
Thompson said he did not know of any students who had experienced bad reactions to the drug.

In other action, the Regents approved a policy to ensure spoken English language competency of the teacher and graduate teaching assistants.
The proposal required all faculty and graduate teaching assistants who are not native English speakers
Pat Caruthers, Regents member from Kansas City, Kan., said it would be hard to enforce and it could spur discrimination lawsuits.

But Stanley Kopik, Regents executive director, said that this increased enforcement because it was preventing the downed if there were complaints.

summer whether to replace the magazine with a newsletter.
Meanwhile, of the four full-time staff members on the publication, three have recently resigned to pursue new career opportunities. Interviews are being conducted now to interview five of the two positions. Reeder said.
Wiliams said he did not think any of the employees had left because of the association's decision to discontinue the magazine.
However, Christina Jepsen said the magazine's end was one of the
"Each of the employees who have resigned have been searching for new positions prior to that decision being made." he said. "Each is aspiring to a more significant position."
"It was the most challenging and rewarding part of my job," she said. Jepsen said she was leaving also. "I would never have taught and the timing had been right."

"I'm sorry to see it go," she said. "I hope they come to a conclusion a year from now to re-examine what they did. The readers and members will miss it greatly, and I hope they voice their opinions and get it back. It was the most visible, attractive product of the association."
Jepsen's new position will be working as an assistant professor at the University of Arizona
He will leave the publication in August.
Reeder, who has been editor since 1977, will be starting his own writing, design and editorial consulting firm.
Marsh said his own decision to leave had not been affected by the magazine's demise. He had come out of hospital at KU, receiving a doctor's degree.
He now works as senior editor of American Way magazine in Fort Worth, Texas.
Karen Goodell left the position of assistant editor a year ago. She said the magazine's end did not influence her either.
Jennifer Jackson Sanner is the only staff member who will remain at the publication in her current position as assistant editor.
"I had been there six-and-a-half years," she said. "I was just ready to move on."
I was just thinking about what my Uncle Bill used to tell me — well, actually, I didn't start out thinking about me, I was just out walking, or at least I was walking until the big dog started chasing me and then I started running and that's probably why I didn't see the midget precision tricycle drill team our practicing* and why I tripped over the short one and that's really when I was reminded of what Uncle Bill used to say, which helped a lot while I was waiting for the ambulance and later on, I probably couldn't have gouled through the trial and all except for his advice, but it was really the three singers from the Randy Newman Anti-Defamation League and Poison Hollow Nude Dande Rush and the gorgeous balloon bouquet from Heaven Sent that finally made me feel really happy again. Uncle Bill would have been proud.
