APRIL1st: Peter Jennings on Ecstasy
ABC NEWS TO AIR ONE-HOUR SPECIAL REPORT ON
TODAY’S DRUG OF CHOICE -- ECSTASY On a Special Edition of “Primetime Thursday,” “Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Rising” Airs Thursday, April 1, on ABC The rise of Ecstasy is a major event in drug history. If current trends continue, 1.8 million Americans will try Ecstasy for the first time in 2004; only marijuana will attract more new users.* Overwhelming positive word of mouth has made Ecstasy a nightmare for drug controllers. On a special edition of “Primetime Thursday,” Peter Jennings tells the epic story of Ecstasy that has never been heard. “Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Rising” airs THURSDAY, APRIL 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. In the 1990s Ecstasy seemed to come out of nowhere to join marijuana, cocaine and heroin as one of the four most widely used illegal drugs in the country. No other drug has ever spread so fast. To halt its spread, the U.S. Government has spent millions of dollars making a dramatic case against Ecstasy as a dangerous drug. The headline of this campaign has been that Ecstasy causes massive brain damage. But this is a claim based on flawed science, and many Ecstasy users now feel their government has no credibility. What do we know about the real risks of Ecstasy? Has the government been its own worst enemy in the fight to stop its use? “Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Rising” takes viewers through the seminal events in this story and introduces all the major players -- from Alexander Shulgin, the famous chemist who was the first person to report the effects of Ecstasy, to Michael Clegg, the Dallas drug dealer who gave Ecstasy its name and turned it into a recreational drug, to the drug enforcement officer who led the fight to make Ecstasy illegal, to the DJ who spread Ecstasy and Rave across America. This special tells the definitive story of how an obscure compound, discovered in 1912 and all but forgotten for over 60 years, became the drug of choice for a generation. Mark Obenhaus is the producer and Jordan Kronick is the Co-Producer of “Peter Jennings Reporting: Ecstasy Rising.” Tom Yellin is the executive producer of “Peter Jennings Reporting.” (*National Survey on Drug Use and Health) - previously posted by Andy Clockwork on Clubvibes.com
