Ecstasy can be known to people as E, X, Adam, eccie, disco biscuits, the love drug, the hug drug, but ecstasy’s proper name is MDMA which is short for methylenedioxymethamphetamime. Ecstasy in its pure form, is a white crystalline powder. It is almost always swallowed in tablet or capsule. A typical dose is 100-120mg. Ecstasy was first manufactured in 1914 in Germany as an appetite suppressant. In the 1950s it was used by psychiatrist as a therapeutic tool to open up patients and increase therapists understanding. Ecstasy takes effect 30-45minutes after taking the pill. The user may experience a time of disorientation and confusion. They will reach their peak at around one to one and a half hours. The effect begins to end and after 4-6 hours it wears off. Ecstasy has become illegal in 1985.
