Ecstasy is the street name for MDMA, a synthetic drug that acts as both a stimulant and a hallucinogen. It increases energy, pleasure, and emotional closeness, which is why it’s often used at parties, clubs, and music festivals.
Most ecstasy is sold as small, colorful tablets with logos or designs stamped on them. It can also appear as powder or capsules. While users often think it’s safe, ecstasy is frequently mixed with other unknown chemicals, making its effects unpredictable.
MDMA can cause dehydration, overheating, heart problems, anxiety, or confusion. Some users may experience a crash or depression in the days after taking it.
