Expression
Es un texto que habla sobre una exposición acerca del consumo de drogas de síntesis, o pastillas. Necesitaría una traducción que conservara el elemento "pastilla" ya que al ser una exposición para gente joven, quedará mejor si es una frase con gancho que, además, tenga algo que ver con el tema.
¡Gracias!

To Pill or Not To Pill
Pill (v.) también significa rechazar, y podría ir acá si, como entiendo, se trata de una exposición que rechaza las pastillas.

This is the Ecstasy you need
Ecstasy is the name of a very common drug used by young people at parties, etc. I assume that the exhibition is AGAINST the use of synthetic drugs, so the phrase I suggest is telling the reader to forget Ecstasy (the drug), instead.this exhibition will give them more (in terms of information...)

What are designer drugs? (e.g.ecstacy)

Synthetic drugs are psychoactive substances produced in laboratories and do not come from natural products. They include amphetamines, ecstasy and LSD. New synthetic drugs like ecstasy have been popularised through use at dance events and raves. Synthetic drugs pose an array of extra challenges to the European Union (EU). They can be made cheaply and easily, and new types may appear at any time. The EU is determined to act using the same knowledge and authority that it brings to the drugs phenomenon in general. To do this, the EU has designed laws and structures specifically tailored to tackle synthetic drugs and chemical precursors
