Definition och Betydelse av "MDMA"

What is "MDMA"?

MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy or Molly, is an artificial drug that changes mood and sensory experiences. It acts as both an energizer and a mind-changing substance. MDMA increases the activity of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain, leading to feelings of extreme joy and excitement, increased energy, and intense sensory experiences. It is typically taken orally in tablet or capsule form and is popular in social settings such as parties and raves for its effects, which increase feelings of closeness and emotional openness. However, MDMA use can also cause harmful effects including dehydration, overheating, and potentially dangerous increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Long-term use or high doses of MDMA can damage nerve cells and lead to difficulties in mental function and mood control.
