Updating my slang database

In some people's Livejournal entries I saw the word "roll" used in a recreational drug context. I didn't think it was in reference to marijuana. I wonder what drug is referred to by rolling.

[pause to check Google]

I love Google.

www.addictions.org/slang.htm :
Roll - MDMA
Roller - to inject a drug
Rollers - police
Rolling - MDMA

http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/concern/mdma/mdma.htm :
MDMA 'Ecstasy'
MDMA possesses chemical variations of the stimulant amphetamine or methamphetamine and a hallucinogen, most often mescaline. MDMA was first synthesized in 1912 by a German company possibly to be used as an appetite suppressant.

HA! an appetite suppressant.

I feel very hip now.
