Introduction: Today, ecstasy abuse has been extended. Also, the substance has an easy access that increases their damaging effects. Therefore, this study aimed to de-termine the knowledge and attitude of students about ecstasy and its com-plications. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectio-nal study, 254 undergraduate students were selected by random sampling in the health and architecture schools of Shahid Beheshti University. Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire with high reliability and validity that included four sections demographic, knowledge about ecstasy attitudes and behavior toward ecs-tasy. The questionnaire was completed by the students under study. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16 and statistical tests, T-test and ANOVA. Findings: Participants in this study were 116 (45.65%) male and 138 (54.35%) fem-ale students. 122 (48.5%) students were fro-m the school of health, and 132 (51.95%) were from the school of architecture. 95% of students had used ecstasy and 79% stated that they need to attend in courses related to ecstasy and its complications. 62 % tended to participate in workshops. About 50.4% of the students had a moderate level of knowledge, and about 67.3% of them had a good attitude. Also, knowledge and attitude had not significant associations with disc-ipline, gender and place of residence (p>0.05). There was no significant assoc-iation between knowledge and marital status, but there was a significant relation-nship between positive attitudes toward effects of ecstasy and marital status (p=0.0001). Discussion & Conclusion: According to the findings, the students' knowledge and their positive attitudes towards effects of ecstasy were not desirable and appropriate. It is suggested that the finding of the study will be used to provide effective education programs and to promote the knowledge and attitude of students.
