New Side Effect Linked to Ecstasy Use

Another dangerous side effect has been added to the list of side effects caused by the drug ecstasy.

Researchers at the University of Miami say the drug can cause a rare artery aneurysm in the spine.

In one case, experts say a teenager had blood swelling in his spinal cord artery a week after taking the drug.

Ecstasy has also been linked to strokes and spikes in high blood pressure.
