MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is an illegal, synthetic, psychoactive drug that acts as both a stimulant and a hallucinogen - stimulating the user while producing distortions in time and perceptions. It has been described as a combination of the stimulant amphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline.
What is MDMA. 1  MDMA is 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. 2  It belongs to a family of drugs called â entactogens ,â which literally means âtouching within.â Other drugs in this category include MDA, MDE and MBDB.3  Before it was made illegal in 1985, MDMA was used by psychiatrists as a therapeutic tool. MDMA is not physically addictive. 2  However, the drug can often take on great importance in peopleâs lives, and some people become rather compulsive in their use. 3  Taken too frequently, however, MDMA loses its unique effect.
