According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, MDMA/Ecstasy is a manmade drug that is considered illegal. The prohibition of the drug is referred to in the United States’ Controlled Substances Act, the UK’s Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.
MDMA can be described as both a psychoactive drug and a stimulant, as it has an energising effect on the central nervous system. It can also trigger distortions in a user’s perception of sensory input and time, as well as intensify your enjoyment of physical experiences.
