In Mandarin, the drug ecstasy is called 摇 [yao2=shake] 头 [tou2=head] 丸 [wan2=pill].
It's because of the popularized, stereotypical situation in which people take ecstasy and then dance crazy to techno music. At least a couple people China definitely think that if you take 摇头丸 you will begin spontaneously shaking your head and won't be able to stop!!
