Joy for the regular man is always restricted to regular activities. He may talk with friends, watch a TV show, play some video games, and only get a certain amount of happiness that never reaches a high peak, which is completely acceptable to the person because he doesn't know of the existence of any such peak...until he takes some ecstasy. The drug's effects are so strong, they take the person up so high that he feels like he is in Heaven, talking to Jesus, only to drop him the whole eight-hour distance in less than a minute. Ecstasy is a stealthily atrocious drug that has overall negative emotional, physical, and sociological effects due to its dangerously addictive properties that easily impair the user into believing that he or she is perfectly fine.

Second, the writing needs to adopt a single tone. In this essay, the tone ranges from formal to slang, and there seems no good reason for the continual shifts.
