what type of drug is ecstasy?

Answer 1

DESCRIPTION
MDMA, or 'ecstasy' is a 'psychedelic amphetamine' that has gained popularity over the past 20 years because of its ability to produce strong feelings of comfort, empathy, and connection to others. It most frequently comes in tablet form, although it is occasionally sold in capsules or as powder. It is most frequently used orally and rarely snorted. MDMA use is closely tied to the underground rave (and dance club) scene throughout the world, but has also been widely used by therapists as an adjunct to psychotherapy.


MDMA IMAGES
Because MDMA is so popular and because it goes well with dance parties, the demand for it usually exceeds supply--especially at any given location on any given night. This creates an opening for unscrupulous individuals to sell virtually anything as 'ecstasy'. While 'ecstasy' is the popular name for MDMA, the functional definition of ecstasy is any pill represented as MDMA on the street. Ecstasy pills are notoriously unreliable in content, more so than most other street drugs, and commonly contain either caffeine, ephedrine, amphetamines, MDA, MDE, DXM, or--in rare cases--DOB, and don't necessarily contain MDMA or any psychoactive. This problem has led to the development of simple MDMA testing kits that may help give the user a general sense of the content of a pill.

Dose
A standard oral dose of MDMA is between 80 - 150 mg. Most good quality pills contain somewhere in this range, generally 80-120 mg. A large percentage of users find that, unlike with many other psychoactives such as LSD or mushrooms, there is a 'sweet spot' in MDMA dosage. Once this spot is found, higher dosages are not particularly desirable as they don't increase the sought after effects or duration.

Price
The price of MDMA varies wildly depending on where it's purchased and in what quantity. A single tablet bought at a rave can cost as much as $50 though more commonly $10-$25. Purchased in higher quantities MDMA generally sells for $100-$250 per gram (about $10-25 per dose), with wholesale prices as low as $50 per gram.

Law
MDMA is illegal in the United States (Schedule I) and in most other countries. It is also listed as Schedule I in the International Convention on Psychotropic Substances, an international drug control treaty.

Chemistry
3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine (MDMA) is a synthetic chemical that can be derived from an essential oil of the sassafras tree.

History
MDMA was first synthesized in the 1890s and later patented by Merck pharmaceuticals on December 24, 1912, but it wasn't until the mid 1970s that articles related to its psychoactivity began showing up in scholarly journals. In the late '70s and early '80s MDMA was used as a psychotherapeutic tool and also started to become available on the street. Its growing popularity led to it being made illegal in the United States in 1985 and its popularity has continued to increase since then.

Answer 2

From what I am to understand from previous research ecstacy is also know as MDMA (MethylDioxylMethAmphetamine) which was actually developed by the company Merck (german pharmaceuticals) to help treat phyciatric patients with severe depression and mental trauma etc. Ecstacy is also commonly referred to as the "love drug" because of the sense of euphoria and happiness you feel when you take it. This is the reason it has been used to treat depression. Like most prescription drugs that lead to dependency it was made illegal to stop widespread addiction etc. Due to this illegal nature of the drug the pill is very rarely in pure form (otherwise known as unadulterated) The pills are made illegally in other countries that have a decent tolerance for the drug and then shipped over. They frequently have a logo pressed into the pill (often times of car companies i.e. lexus etc.) to signify the maker. It is not a very good idea to possess these as the penalties are very harsh on this particular drug. Hope that helps a little bit.

p.s. it is NOT acid or liquid. Those people that say it have no clue what they are talking about. The liquid that is odorless is an altogether different drug known as GHB or commonly "the date rape drug" For further research i suggest just doing a search for it to get the straight facts

Answer 3

It's officially considered a psychedelic, but a lot of times it is cut with amphetamines so some consider it a stimulant too. It is the best drug ever when you get a hold of a good clean batch.

mz.omari_01 you have no clue. You're thinking about rohypnol or GHB

Answer 5

According to my granddaughter it makes one feel lots of love towards everyone. However according to doctors it is very destructive to the spine and will cause future harm that is irreparable. So if you want to wind-up walking all bent over and in lots of pain all your life that's your choice but I hope you decide not to use it. She finally has stopped using it and so have most of her friends.
