SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act of
2000''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The illegal importation of 3,4-methylenedioxy
        methamphetamine, commonly referred to as ``MDMA'' or
        ``Ecstasy'', has increased in recent years, as evidenced by the
        fact that Ecstasy seizures by the United States Customs Service
        have risen from less than 500,000 tablets during fiscal year
        1997 to more than 4,000,000 tablets during the first 5 months
        of fiscal year 2000.
            (2) Use of Ecstasy can cause long-lasting, and perhaps
        permanent, damage to the serotonin system of the brain, which
        is fundamental to the integration of information and emotion,
        and this damage can cause long-term problems with learning and
        memory.
            (3) Due to the popularity and marketability of Ecstasy,
        there are numerous Internet websites with information on its
        effects, production, and the locations of use, often referred
        to as ``raves''. The availability of this information targets
        the primary users of Ecstasy, who are most often college
        students, young professionals, and other young people from
        middle- to high-income families.
            (4) Greater emphasis needs to be placed on--
                    (A) penalties associated with the manufacture,
                distribution, and use of Ecstasy;
                    (B) the education of young people on the negative
                health effects of Ecstasy, since the reputation of
                Ecstasy as a ``safe'' drug is it's most dangerous
                component;
                    (C) the education of State and local law
                enforcement agencies regarding the growing problem of
                Ecstasy trafficking across the United States;
                    (D) reducing the number of deaths caused by Ecstasy
                use and its combined use with other ``club'' drugs and
                alcohol; and
                    (E) adequate funding for research by the National
                Institute on Drug Abuse to--
                            (i) identify those most vulnerable to using
                        Ecstasy and develop science-based prevention
                        approaches tailored to the specific needs of
                        individuals at high risk;
                            (ii) understand how Ecstasy produces its
                        toxic effects and how to reverse neurotoxic
                        damage;
                            (iii) develop treatments, including new
                        medications and behavioral treatment
                        approaches;
                            (iv) better understand the effects that
                        Ecstasy has on the developing children and
                        adolescents; and
                            (v) translate research findings into useful
                        tools and ensure their effective dissemination.
