Ecstasy Facts
MDMA is a synthetic, psychoactive drug with both stimulant (amphetamine-like) and hallucinogenic (LSD-like)
properties. Street names for MDMA include Ecstasy, Adam, XTC, hug, beans, and love drug. Its chemical
structure (3-4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine, "MDMA") is similar to methamphetamine, methylenedioxyamphetamine
(MDA), and mescaline - other synthetic drugs known to cause brain damage.
MDMA also is neurotoxic. In addition, in high doses it can cause a sharp increase in body temperature (malignant hyperthermia)
leading to muscle breakdown and kidney and cardiovascular system failure.
In 2001, an estimated 15.9 million Americans aged 12 or older were current illicit drug users, meaning they
had used an illicit drug during the month prior to the survey interview. This estimate represents
7.1 percent of the population aged 12 years old or older.
