MDMA /// Beyond ecstasy

For nearly 40 years, MDMA has been used as a party drug in the Netherlands. Today, more than one in 10 people have used this prohibited substance at least once. Quite separate from this recreational use, MDMA also has a medical use, like ketamine or cannabis. This medical use of MDMA has been the subject of research for nearly half a century.
