Several Kelowna teens are recovering after they ingested what they believed to be Ecstasy and became violently ill yesterday. On August 2, 2013 at 10 am, the Kelowna RCMP received a report that three Kelowna teens (15, 16 and 18) took Ecstasy (MDMA) yesterday and all three subsequently became ill. It is believed that the youths purchased the pills, apparently being peddled as the well known club drug, in downtown Kelowna. After ingesting the drugs, the teens were struck with stabbing abdominal pains, chronic vomiting and itching. All three are recovering but police have since received information that there have been others with similar experiences after consuming street drugs recently. Ecstasy is a synthetic drug that is made in clandestine labs that have no quality controls. Various toxic chemicals are used in its production and each batch can vary in chemical composition, toxicity and potency. You can never really know exactly what is in street drugs, and something that is being sold under one name could be something else entirely. Drug dealers are only in it for the profit and don't care about the health or well-being of their clients.
