Etymology

MDMA, short for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, was first synthesized in 1912 by the pharmaceutical company Merck. It wasn't until the 1970s that MDMA gained popularity as a recreational drug, known for its empathogenic effects. In the 1980s and 1990s, MDMA became associated with the rave and club scene. Despite its illegal status in many countries, research into the therapeutic potential of MDMA has been ongoing, particularly in the treatment of PTSD.
