Description
MDMA was discovered in 1912 and first saw use in underground
psychotherapy circles in the 1970s. In the 1980s, MDMA spread into
nightlife and rave culture and was subsequently banned. By 2014, MDMA
was estimated to be one of the most popular recreational drugs used in
the world, alongside cocaine and cannabis. Researchers are investigating
whether MDMA may assist in treatment-resistant posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), social anxiety in autistic adults, and anxiety in those
with life-threatening illness.
Subjective effects of MDMA include anxiety suppression,
disinhibition, enhanced empathy and sociability, relaxation, and
euphoria. MDMA is classified as an entactogen due to how it facilitates
feelings of closeness with oneself and others. It is commonly associated
with dance parties, raves, and electronic dance music. Tolerance to
MDMA builds unusually quickly and many users report that it dramatically
loses its effectiveness if used on a regular basis. It is commonly
recommended to wait one to three months between uses to give the brain
adequate time to restore serotonin levels and prevent toxicity.
