    Mdma (Ecstasy)

    MDMA is taken orally, usually as a capsule or tablet. Ecstasy is nearly always swallowed as a tablet or capsule. However, ecstasy is occasionally snorted, smoked or injected. It was initially popular among Caucasian adolescents and young adults in the nightclub scene or at weekend-long dance parties known as raves. More recently, the profile of the typical MDMA user has changed, with the drug now affecting a broader range of ethnic groups. MDMA is also popular among urban gay males—some report using MDMA as part of a multiple-drug experience that includes marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, sildenafil (Viagra), and other legal and illegal substances. MDMA has the full chemical name of '3,4 Methylene-dioxy-N-methyl amphetamine ' or 'Methylenedioxymethamphetamine '. The 3,4 indicates the way in which the components of the molecule are joined together, as it is possible to produce an isomer, which has all the same components but is joined differently. Although it is derived from organic material, MDMA itself does not occur in nature, and must be created in a complex laboratory process. There are various popular street names for MDMA such as Ecstasy, E, Adam, X and Empathy.…
