A lethal new form of the drug ecstasy has surfaced in Switzerland, raising concerns about the risks it poses for young people.
The drug contains an ingredient with a long scientific name — para-Methoxymethamphetamine, or PMMA for short.
The amphetamine pill, known as a stimulant and psychedelic drug, is already responsible for more than two dozen deaths in Scandinavia, other parts of northern Europe and in Canada.
Medical authorities have warned that PMMA can cause an increase in blood pressure and in heart rate.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
