MDMA (Ecstasy)

MDMA, commonly known as Ecstasy, is a synthetic drug that affects the central nervous system by increasing the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. This leads to heightened sensory perception, increased emotional closeness, energy, and euphoria. It is often used recreationally in social settings, but can have serious health risks including dehydration, hyperthermia, and emotional disturbances. MDMA also has the potential for dependence and harmful interactions with other substances. Due to its strong effects and risks, it is classified as an illegal substance in many countries.
