Ecstasy / MDMA (Molly)
What Is It?
MDMA — often called Ecstasy, Molly, or simply “E” — is a substance known for its uplifting and connecting effects. It has properties of both stimulants (like amphetamines) and hallucinogens, and also creates a strong sense of empathy and emotional openness — which is why it’s known as an entactogen.
What Makes MDMA Unique?
- Mood Boost: Many users feel euphoria, emotional warmth, and joy.
- Energy & Movement: It’s often used to dance for hours, stay awake, and feel connected to music or people
- Empathy & Connection: MDMA can help people feel more open, loving, and close with those around them.
Effects can feel magical, but MDMA is not risk-free. Taking more doesn’t always mean stronger effects — and can sometimes cause harm instead.
How It Works in the Body
- Onset: You may feel effects within 20–60 minutes after taking.
- Peak: Effects often peak around 60–90 minutes.
- Duration: The high can last up to 5 hours, with after-effects lasting longer.
- Half-life: About 8–9 hours, so it takes time to leave your body.
Re-dosing (taking more if the first dose feels weak) can increase risks of overheating, serotonin syndrome, or overdose. Be cautious and patient.
Common Forms & How People Take MDMA
- Tablets, Pills, Capsules
- These are the most common forms known as “Ecstasy.”
- Often branded with fun shapes, colors, or logos (like 💗 White Dove, 💎 Pink Hexagon, 🦸 Superman).
- Crystal / Powder (“Molly”)
- Often considered “pure MDMA,” but purity can vary.
- Commonly swallowed directly or wrapped in tissue (bombing).
- Sometimes snorted — this can be painful and shortens the high.
- Less common: booty bumping or injecting — both carry higher risks and need special care and safety practices.
Desired Effects: The ‘4 Es’
People use MDMA for a variety of reasons, including:
- Energy to dance and stay awake for hours
- Euphoria and confidence, with a strong sense of connection to others
- Enhanced sensory experiences – lights, music, and touch can feel more intense
- Emotional openness, sometimes used to manage stress or trauma (e.g. PTSD)
Some people describe a sense of calm or peace while on MDMA. However, this can contrast with unwanted effects like anxiety or agitation that sometimes follow.
MDMA can also increase sexual desire and intensity – but for some, this may come with challenges like erectile dysfunction or delayed orgasm.
