The pure form of MDMA
is a white crystalline
powder. It’s increasingly
sold as a powder but
can also be available as a
pressed tablet or capsule.
The tablet is often
branded with an image
or symbol.
The effects of MDMA, also known as ecstasy or mandy, take about
half an hour to kick in and tend to last between 3–6 hours, followed
by a gradual comedown. The major problem with MDMA is that it is
rarely pure and can contain other drugs like PMA, which can be fatal.
Do not use MDMA if you have a heart, liver or kidney condition,
blood pressure or circulation problems, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes,
glaucoma or are taking antidepressants.
