The following is a new federal Anti-Ecstacy bill which proposes increased penalties for ecstasy use. This bill will also make it a federal crime to disseminate harm reduction and/or responsible use information concerning ecstasy and other controlled substances, including medical marijuana. This legislation is similar in nature to the Anti-methamphetamine bill which is also in the process of being passed.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Federal Anti-Ecstasy Bill Extends ³Zero-Tolerance² to Criminalize Free Speech CALIFORNIA -- Following the lead of the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), US Customs, and the DEA, and prompted by recent media attention regarding the drug ecstasy (MDMA), Senator Bob Graham of Florida (along with co-sponsors Grassley, Thomas and Biden) have introduced legislation calling for stiffer prison terms for ecstasy-related offenses and a blackout on certain information concerning the drug.
Under The Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act of 2000 (S 2612):
2. Certain information concerning any ³controlled substance² - not just
ecstasy仇ould effectively be outlawed. Specifically, Section 6 of the
Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act would make it a federal crime, punishable by
up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine, to: Similar to the anti-methamphetamine bills currently pending in the House and Senate, The Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act would make it a federal crime to disseminate harm reduction and/or responsible use information concerning ecstasy and other controlled substances, including medical marijuana. ³The Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act ought to be renamed the Harm-Enhancement Anti-Free Speech Act,² said Richard Glen Boire, an attorney with the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, a law and policy center based in California. ³Many of the deaths associated with MDMA can, in part, be attributed to the government¹s zero-tolerance drug policy, which makes it hard for ecstasy users to get accurate information about how to reduce the harms associated with ecstasy use. Criminalization has also produced a black market with wide-spread adulteration of the pills and powders that are sold as 憩cstasy.¹ Threatening to put someone in prison for ten years for disseminating harm reduction information about ecstasy (or any other drug), not only violates the First Amendment, it puts our children at increased risk.² Currently, federal sentencing guidelines recognize that not all controlled substances pose the same harms, and that offenses involving the most harmful substances should receive the harshest punishment. For example, crimes involving marijuana are treated less harshly than the same crimes involving cocaine. "Inasmuch as the drug ecstasy is nonaddictive and is not associated with violence, it makes no sense to equate it with methamphetamine - a drug which is highly addictive and which can produce violent behavior in some users," said Boire. "There is simply no comparison between ecstasy and methamphetamine." Prior to being outlawed (and before it was given the street name ³ Ecstasy²) MDMA showed promise as an adjunct to psychotherapy. However, since its outlawing in 1988 [fn1], scientific research on the drug has ground to a halt while illegal use has skyrocketed. On March 12 of this year, the US Customs Office reported that seizures of ecstasy bound for the United States soared in the first three months of 2000. ³Outlawing MDMA has been a total failure,² said Boire. ³Rather than ratchet up the punishment for ecstasy offenses, and scurry to outlaw important information about the drug, Congress ought to be considering a realistic and workable policy that is aimed at providing as much accurate information as possible and which aims to reduce the harm associated with using ecstasy. The current 'zero-tolerance' Prohibition policy is irresponsible, unworkable, and exacerbates the problems that drugs such as ecstasy pose to individuals and to society.² Note 1. An attempt by the DEA to control MDMA in 1985 was declared invlaid on September 18, 1987, by the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. (See Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Petitioner, v. Drug Enforcement Administration, Respondent (1st Cir. 1987) 828 F.2d 881.) Following the decision, MDMA was officially placed in Schedule I effective March 23, 1988. About the Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics The Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics is a nonprofit law and policy center working in the public interest to protect fundamental civil liberties. The Center seeks to foster cognitive liberty - the basic human right to unrestrained independent thinking, including the right to control one¹s own mental processes and to experience the full spectrum of possible thought.
