Some Therapeutic uses of Ecstasy?

MDMA was originally developed as a pharmaceutical product, patented in 1913 by Merck as a slimming product, but never marketed.

Ecstasy resurfaced in the 1980s as a tool in experimental psychotherapy, particularly in resolving relationship and marital difficulties, before the drug was declared illegal in the USA following an increase in recreational use.

Ecstasy is often described as an "entheogenic" drug, giving the user greater empathy and closeness to fellow users. However, this increase in intimacy between users does not normally translate into overtly sexual activity.

Government impose strict controls on 36 ecstasy-type substances

Proposals to clamp down on 36 ecstasy-type substances were contained in a consultation letter issued by the Home Office. The 36 substances are, like ecstasy, derived from phenethylamine. The proposals would bring these 'designer drugs' under the control of the Misuse of Drugs legislation which would allow courts to impose heavy penalties for manufacture, dealing and possession.
