What Is Ecstasy (Molly)

 

What Is Ecstasy (Molly)? (Also called MDMA, ecstasy is a hallucinogenic and stimulant drug)

Synthetic drug ecstasy, popularly known as "Molly," is most well-known for its stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. Increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, and skewed time and sensory perception are among documented side effects.


Ecstasy is also known by its molecular name, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). It is an amphetamine derivative that resembles methamphetamine in structure ("meth").


Some of the most colorful slang terms used for ecstasy (MDMA), based on the name of the drug, effects, and appearance, include: 


  • Adam

  • Beans

  • Candy

  • Clarity

  • E

  • Essence

  • Happy Pill

  • Hug Drug

  • Molly

  • Scooby Snacks

  • Lover's Speed

  • X

  • XTC

Although ecstasy was initially exclusively used in nightclubs and parties, its usage has since become more widespread.


Signs of Ecstasy Use

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, MDMA causes a range of effects including:


  • Anxiety

  • Attention problems

  • Confusion

  • Decreased libido

  • Depression

  • Impulsiveness

  • Insomnia

  • Irritability

  • Memory problems

  • Reduced appetite

Three to six hours is the normal MDMA impact duration. However, in rare situations, you might still experience molly's adverse effects a day later.


Particularly if MDMA is combined with other drugs like marijuana, the symptoms could last up to a week or more. If taking Molly causes any long-lasting negative effects, make sure to get in touch with a doctor right away.


History of Ecstasy

The first version of MDMA, which was patented in 1914, was created in 1912 as a medicinal chemical that might be used to create additional drugs. However, after the drug's hallucinatory effects were found, further research was halted for a number of decades.


Many substances were tried in a military setting decades later, including ecstasy. After that, it was recreated, first by Gordon Alles and then by Alexander Shulgin, who used it on himself, his wife, and his friends before testing it on others.


Later, Shulgin created a variety of other substances with a variety of effects and dangers, such as MDMA and PMMA (paramethoxymethamphetamine), many of which became variations of ecstasy sold on the street. Many years passed before MDMA finally made an appearance as a recreational drug on the streets.


MDMA, a precursor to ecstasy, rose to prominence as a recreational drug in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s, MDMA gained popularity as a party drug in the nightclub and rave scene, and usage among LGBT people, college students, and "yuppies" increased.


However, ecstasy was deemed banned in the UK in 1977, years before it became widely used there, due to worries about the drug's potential health dangers.


Different ecstasy analogs were created for a short period of time in an effort to get around the legislation, which served as the inspiration for the designer drug movement. With the eventual legalization of crystal meth, this manufacture became once again a concern in the year 2000.

What Is Ecstasy

  Ecstasy is a street name for the drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). It is a synthetic, psychoactive drug that alters mood and perception. When used recreationally, it is commonly taken as a pill, although it can also come in a powder or crystal form. Ecstasy affects the brain by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which can result in feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and emotional warmth. However, the drug also has significant side effects and risks, including dehydration, overheating, high blood pressure, and an increased heart rate, all of which can be particularly dangerous when the drug is used in a recreational setting, such as in a club or at a rave. Ecstasy is illegal and classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in many countries, meaning it is considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Despite this, some researchers are exploring its potential use in therapeuti...

How MDMA works?

Image
  MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) primarily affects the brain by altering the activity of certain neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Here's a general explanation of how MDMA works: Serotonin release : MDMA causes a significant increase in the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, emotional processing, and social behavior. This flood of serotonin contributes to the feelings of euphoria, empathy, and emotional openness associated with MDMA use. Serotonin reuptake inhibition: MDMA also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, meaning it blocks the reabsorption of serotonin into the neurons that released it. This leads to a prolonged presence of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, enhancing its effects and prolonging the mood-altering and empathogenic properties of the drug. Dopamine and norepinephrine effects: MDMA also affects dopamine and norepinephrine, although to a lesser extent than serotonin. It increases t...
