Ecstasy
\
MDMA is one of
the most
popular recreational psychoactive and
is most commonly sold in
the form of
"ecstasy" tablets. It is known
for its empathogenic,
euphoric, and
stimulant effects, and has also been used in
psychotherapy treatment.
Ecstasy releases large amounts of Serotonin
from the brain, which
elevates the mood and the senses of the body.
Ecstasy is often associated with the "Rave Movement" and is
the most consumed narcotic used at Raves and clubs.
Over doses of Ecstasy and counterfeit ecstasy has contributed to numerous
deaths across the U.S. The peak high of ecstasy lasts 4-6
hours and the effects produced hyper excitability,
hyperthermia, muscle spasms, sense of well being, visual distortions,
and sexual dysfunction. Over 90% of ecstasy is imported into the
U.S from Europe.
