This man is hoping to save lives by showing the devastating effects of taking Ecstasy.

Jordan Hurdes says he is lucky to be alive in this heartbreaking Facebook video, filmed after he ended up in hospital as the result of a bad Ecstasy pill.

The 20-year-old Australian has been left with tremors and a devastating vocal stutter after his experience. He posted the following video on Monday.

He says: “It’s a waiting game at the moment to see whether I’ll have permanent jerking like I do now, and with my stutter I’m not sure it will get better any time soon.

“But just, please guys, don’t get sucked in. It all seems like fun and games and a cheap $25 pill – but it’s not worth it.”
