A survey of the Northern Territory's drug users shows most have driven while drunk or under the influence of illicit drugs.
The survey by the Drug and Alcohol Research council pays people $30 to talk about their drug use, as well as a substance's availability, quality and price.
The 2005 results show ecstasy is becoming more popular and is considered easy to get.
The results also show users are increasingly combining the party drug with large quantities of alcohol.
The majority of those surveyed said in the past six months they had driven while over the alcohol limit and within an hour of taking illicit drugs, usually cannabis or ecstasy.
The survey has also found a sharp increase in people's use of pharmaceutical stimulants.
The use of *** and cocaine has fallen.
