,Ecstacy (MDMA), is a man-made drug that alters awareness of surrounding objects and conditions. It is chemically similar to both stimulants and hallucinogens, producing feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, and distorted sensory and time perception. MDMA was initially popular in the RAVE scene(all-night dance parties), but has since attracted a broader range of users who more commonly call the drug Molly. **What is Molly short for?** A typical dose of MDMA has effects that last about 3 to 6 hours. However, High doses of MDMA can affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature leading to a spike in body temperature that can result in liver, kidney, heart failure or even death. In addition, because MDMA can promote trust and closeness, its use—especially combined with Viagra®—may encourage unsafe sexual behavior. This increases users' risk of contracting or transmitting HIV/AIDS or hepatitis.
