MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE? A M D M 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.
