Question

Denise wanted to enhance her experience at a dance party, so she took a hallucinogen offered to her by someone she thought was her friend. The evening deteriorated from there for Denise, however, because she experienced jaw clenching, short-term memory loss, confusion, increased body temperature due to dehydration, and an increased heart rate. It's a good thing Denise didn't combine this drug with alcohol. Which of the following hallucinogens did Denise most likely take?A) EcstasyB) PCPC) KetamineD) Psilocybin

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Ecstasy

Explanation:

• The effects of Ecstasy include jaw clenching, increased heart rate and elevated body temperatures.
• The elevated body temperatures can cause dehydration.
• Alcohol can also lead to dehydration as it forces kidneys to produce more urine.
• Therefore, using ecstasy and alcohol in combination can lead to dehydration at dangerous levels.
