Ecstasy Prevention Act of 2001

The Ecstasy Prevention Act of 2001 was designed to combat the use and trafficking of MDMA (Ecstasy) and other "club drugs" through a combination of law enforcement incentives, public education, and medical research. The bill proposed prioritizing federal grants for communities that implemented local restrictions on rave clubs and increased police enforcement, while also funding a national media campaign to warn young people about the risks of these substances. Additionally, the legislation called for the development of standardized workplace drug tests for Ecstasy and mandated a formal study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to evaluate the drug's long-term health effects.
