    MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, is associated with electronic dance music events and acts as a releasing agent of serotonin, norepinephrine, oxytocin, and dopamine in the brain. These neurotransmitters are involved in functions like mood, stress response, motivation, and social bonding. While MDMA was made illegal in 1977 in the UK, a government advisory board recently recommended downgrading it to a less restrictive drug class, though the government rejected this recommendation.

    3,4-Methylene dioxy meth amphetamine

    It is commonly associated with dance parties (or "raves") and electronic dance music

    acts as a releasing agent of serotonin, norepinephrine, Oxytocin and dopamine


    Sortonin acts as a guage of resource availabilty, so is released after events such as finding food or in
    males finding a mate.
    Norepinephrine is released after physical changes to a stressfull event eg. Heart beating faster
    because of worrying
    Dopamine is involved in functions within the brain such as roles in behavior and cognition, voluntary
    movement, motivation, punishment and reward.
    Oxytocin is released after during events such as hugging, having an orgasm and childbirth.

    MDMA was made illegal in 1977 by a modification order to the existing Misuse of Drugs
    Act 1971. Although MDMA was not named explicitly in this legislation, the order extended
    the definition of Class A drugs to include various ring-substituted phenethylamines, thereby
    making it illegal to sell, buy, or possess the drug without a license. Penalties include a
    maximum of seven years and/or unlimited fine for possession; life and/or unlimited fine for
    production or trafficking. In February 2009 an official independent scientific advisory board
    to the UK government recommended that MDMA be re-classified to Class B, but this
    recommendation was immediately rejected by the government (see Recommendation to
    downgrade MDMA).
