MDMA, better known as ecstasy, molly, or one of a number of other street names, is a stimulant drug with unique prosocial effects. In this video, I discuss the current understanding of how MDMA acts on the brain to produce its effects.
Natalie Ginsberg, MAPS Policy and Advocacy Manager will interview Rick Doblin, Ph.D.
Curious what MDMA (Molly/Ecstacy) FEELS like? Don't be. Watch this video so you don't have to try it for yourself! We cover the 4 stages of the MDMA experience as well as how to go about your "roll" in the most safe, and responsible way possible.
MDMA is the official scientific name for a drug commonly referred to as “ecstasy” or “molly.” It was originally synthesized in 1912 by the drug company Merck. In the 1970s MDMA was used to assist psychotherapy. After MDMA grew popular for recreational purposes it was banned in the U.S.
MDMA is a stimulant with strong entactogen effects. Unlike regular stimulants, a key aspect of entactogens is their impact on emotions and their ability to enhance "inner awareness," which gives them a wide array of applications. It's the most popular entactogen by far.
