MDMA articles

Below are the best articles we could find on MDMA.

MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy or molly, is a synthetic psychoactive drug that is commonly associated with recreational use at raves or clubs, but it has more recently been studied along with other psychedelics in the treatment of a variety of ailments, most specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Other uses under study have been to treat depression, social anxiety, and (in couples therapy) to foster closeness. Common effects of the drug include euphoria, heightened empathy, and a sense of emotional well-being, along with a more intense experience of colors and sounds. While MDMA has been moved under review of the Food and Drug Administration in the US for clinical use, it still remains illegal in most countries.
