did you take Ecstasy in the UK at any point in the (long) 1990s?
if so, please consider participating in oral history research as part of my Wellcome-funded project "The Effects Can Last Forever".
for more details, check the image, DM, or email.
ALT DID YOU TAKE ECSTASY AT ANY POINT BETWEEN 1985 AND 2000? Did you consume MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, commonly known as Ecstasy) at any point between 1985 and 2000? Would you like to contribute to a new cultural and social history of the drug, by talking to an historian about your experiences and memories? Volunteers are being sought for oral history interviews, and you can take part by contacting (confidentially) Dr Peder Clark, Research Associate at the University of Strathclyde. E-mail: [email protected] These interviews form part of the research for ‘The Effects Can Last Forever': Ecstasy's Risks and Pleasures in Britain, 1985-2000, a project funded by the Wellcome Trust.
