3,4-Methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA), colloquially known as ‘ecstasy’, is a Class A drug in the UK, the use of which increases the feeling of euphoria and induces a heightened sense of intimacy with others.

This report is based on a review of the literature, including journal articles, books and other literature. The ACMD also considered oral and written evidence (Annexes C and D respectively) submitted by organisations and individuals with particular expertise and special interest in MDMA.
