PG - 38 AB - Ecstasy (also known as 'love drug', 'XTC' or 'E') is the name commonly used for the illegal designer drug related to amphetamine, 3,4 methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA). MDMA was patented in 1914 as an appetite suppressant, has been investigated as a mood modifying agent, but with its predecessor 3,4 methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) is now widely (and wrongly), promoted as a safe, non-toxic means to 'warm loving relaxation'.
