MDMA
MDMA, also called Molly or Ecstasy, is a lab-made (synthetic) drug that has effects similar to stimulants like methamphetamine, although some researchers and organizations consider MDMA to be a psychedelic drug because it can also mildly alter visual and time perception.
MDMA’s effects may include feeling more energetic and alert and having an increased sense of well-being, warmth, and openness toward others. However, MDMA can also cause unpleasant and potentially dangerous negative health effects.
