Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effects Christine is experiencing are consistent with those of MDMA, also known as ecstasy. MDMA is a stimulant that can increase feelings of euphoria, warmth, and introspection, as well as cause physical symptoms such as increased heart rate and sweating. It is often associated with the "club drug" scene and may be used in social or party settings. Morphine or heroin would not likely produce the reported effects, and barbiturates or Quaaludes are sedatives that would not typically cause an increase in blood pressure and sweating. Cocaine or amphetamines may produce similar physical effects, but would not necessarily result in the reported warm, friendly, and sensual feelings.
