Ecstasy: facts and fiction

MDMA has never been so plentiful and more and more people are using it. In many countries high purity MDMA crystal now competes with high dose MDMA pills. In most cases people taking the drug just have a good time, but sadly not always. Just under 1% of ecstasy users worldwide sought emergency treatment following the use of pills and powders sold as MDMA in the previous 12 months (Global Drug Survey 2016). While drug checking has a role to play, just knowing what’s in your pill or powder does not make it safe. What moderates the risk of harm more than anything else is the way it’s used.
