3,4-Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA),[note 1] commonly known as ecstasy (E) or molly, is a psychoactive drug primarily used for recreational purposes.[14] The desired effects include altered sensations, increased energy, empathy, as well as pleasure.[14][15] When taken by mouth, effects begin in 30 to 45 minutes and last 3 to 6 hours.[11][16]

Adverse effects include

hallucinogenic effects.[8][17]

MDMA is illegal in most countries

phase 3 clinical trials to look at effectiveness and safety expected to begin in 2018.[20] In 2017, the FDA granted MDMA a breakthrough therapy designation[note 2] for PTSD, meaning that if studies show promise, a review for potential medical use could occur more quickly.[24]

MDMA was first developed in 1912 by

mixed with other substances such as ephedrine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine.[15] In 2016, about 21 million people between the ages of 15 and 64 used ecstasy (0.3% of the world population).[27] This was broadly similar to the percentage of people who use cocaine or amphetamines, but lower than for cannabis or opioids.[27] In the United States, as of 2017, about 7% of people have used MDMA at some point in their lives and 0.9% have used it in the last year.[28]
