EL PASO, Texas -- According to recent data released, it appears the club drug Ecstasy has made a huge comeback in the Borderland.

"I mean, the feeling you get -- it's, like, intense," said Paul, whose real name is being withheld.

An East El Paso resident, Paul has had that intense feeling more than once. He has been an active Ecstasy user for more than nine years.

"It's kind of like I have to have a pill to go to a rave; at least that's how I feel," said Paul.

And it seems Paul isn’t the only one. KFOX reporter Derek Shore found hundreds of videos on the video-sharing site YouTube of people apparently high or “rolling” on Ecstasy. Shore found one video that was listed as being filmed in El Paso at the D-Club during a dance party.

According to data released from El Paso police to KFOX’s media partners at What’s Up magazine, Ecstasy has spiked in the Sun City.

In 2008, El Paso police confiscated 114 grams of the drug. So far just this year, that number jumped to nearly 1,600 grams.

“I could get it in like five minutes," Paul said.

The drug, known for the euphoria it gives users, is dangerous, according to health data.

The amphetamine MDMA, the chief ingredient in Ecstasy, can cause brain damage and organ failure due to one's body overheating.

And it’s not just MDMA in the pills.

"They're all laced with something else. I mean, you're never going find something that is pure MDMA ever,” Paul said.

It is the drugs with which the tablets are laced that pose a bigger danger.

"Some are coke-laced, some are meth-laced, heroin -- they're all different," Paul said.

So nine years later, Paul has a warning.

"You can't really just do it once,” he said.
