MDMA is a synthetic and psychoactive drug that is commonly referred to as “Extacy”. “Adam”, or “TXC”. Under its influence, individuals tend to suffer from hallucinations and distortions of cognitive processes.

The effects of MDMA manifest themselves within the physical, and mental realms of its users. The psychological effects that have been associated with this drug include confusion, depression, anxiety, paranoia, and strong cravings to consume more. The physical effects include muscular tension, nausea, blurry vision, fainting spells, and sweating.

The findings of recent studies have revealed that the use of MDMA deteriorates the areas of brain responsible for thoughts and memories, as well as causing damage to the neurons that make use of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
