History of Ecstasy.
The word ecstasy is derived from the Greek language and defined as state of exaltation in which the self is transcended. The word covers a range of phenomena from mysticism to spirit possession. Ecstasy was first discovered by Merck pharmaceuticals in 1912. Ecstasy is MDMA, or 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. It belongs to a family of drugs called "entactogens," which literally means "touching within." Other drugs in this category include MDA, MDE and MBDB. In the 1970's MDMA was used as a treatment in mental wards. Many of the patients taking MDMA experienced relaxation that allowed them to be more open with the doctors about their feelings. In the early 1980's ecstasy was being used as an alternative to other drugs for the uses of achieving a "high" that would make the person feel good. However it was made illegal in 1985. Studies are currently underway in Spain and Israel assessing MDMA's effectiveness in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). .
Ecstasy has had a wide appeal among young people in the dance world. MDMA has allowed clubbers to experience a feeling during dancing that claims to be a nirvana of emotions. Such dances that usually include ecstasy are known as raves or very large parties in nightclubs or any open large area. Many raves are illegal and are organized be a small group of people and are only publicized by word of mouth or an information hot line.
