Ecstasy

Ecstasy-MDMAEcstasy MDMA is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This means it has a high potential for abuse, there are currently no accepted medicinal uses in the United States and there is a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. MDMA is a synthetic chemical made in labs. The MDMA that has been seized in the U.S. is primarily manufactured in clandestine (Illegal) laboratories in Canada and the Netherlands. MDMA is then smuggled across the borders into the United States. A small number of MDMA clandestine laboratories have also been identified as operating in the U.S.

MDMA acts both as a stimulant and psychedelic and is mainly available in pill form. It produces an energizing effect, distorts time and perception as well as enhancing the enjoyment of tactile experiences. Adolescents and young adults use it to reduce inhibitions and to promote: euphoria, feelings of closeness, empathy and sexuality. Although MDMA is known among users as Ecstasy, researchers have determined that many Ecstasy tablets contain not only MDMA but also a number of other drugs or drug combinations that can be harmful, such as: methamphetamine, ketamine, cocaine, the over-the-counter cough suppressant dextromethorphan (DXM), the diet drug ephedrine and caffeine.

MDMA tablets are sold with logos, creating brand names for users to seek out. The colorful pills are often hidden among colorful candies. MDMA is also distributed in capsules, powder and liquid forms. The most popular way to consume MDMA involves swallowing tablets (50-150 mg), which are sometimes crushed and snorted. Occasionally users will smoke the crushed tablets smoked but it is rarely injected. MDMA abusers usually take MDMA by “stacking” (taking three or more tablets at once) or by “piggy-backing” (taking a series of tablets over a short period of time). This is especially dangerous because MDMA can interfere with the user’s metabolism. This can cause potentially harmful levels to be reached by repeated drug use within short intervals. MDMA is considered to be a “party drug” and is rarely used alone. A trend among adolescents is “candy flipping,” which is the co-abuse of MDMA and LSD. It is common for users to mix MDMA with other substances such as alcohol and marijuana

MDMA mainly affects brain cells that use the chemical serotonin to communicate with each other. Serotonin helps to regulate mood, aggression, sexual activity, sleep and sensitivity to pain. Clinical studies suggest that MDMA may increase the risk of long-term, perhaps permanent, problems with memory and learning. It also causes changes in perception, including euphoria and increased sensitivity to touch, energy, sensual and sexual arousal, need to be touched and the need for stimulation.

Unwanted psychological effects of MDMA use include confusion, anxiety, depression, paranoia, sleep problems and drug cravings. All these effects usually occur within 30 to 45 minutes of swallowing the drug and usually last 4 to 6 hours, but they may occur or last weeks after ingestion. Users of MDMA experience many of the same effects and face many of the same risks as users of other stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines. These include increased motor activity, alertness, heart rate and high blood pressure. Unwanted physical effects of MDMA use include: muscle tension, tremors, involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramps, nausea, faintness, chills, sweating and blurred vision. High doses of MDMA can interfere with the ability to regulate body temperature, resulting in a sharp increase in body temperature (hyperthermia), leading to liver, kidney and cardiovascular failure. Severe dehydration can result from the combination of the drug’s effects and the crowded and hot conditions in which the drug is often taken In addition, other drugs similar to MDMA, such as MDA or PMA, are often sold as Ecstasy, which can lead to overdose and death when the user takes additional doses to obtain the desired effect. Studies suggest chronic use of MDMA can produce damage to the serotonin system. It is ironic that a drug that is taken to increase pleasure may cause
