orin hargraves asks:



1. Does this drug go by the same name in the US? Is there a

commoner name for it?



no, the commonest name for it in the u.s. is "ecstasy". lots of

nicknames, the commonest of which is probably "E".



2. Is there a valid reason to spell it with an initial cap and penultimate c,

rather than s?



no idea.
