Effects of 'ecstasy' use

The National Drug & Alcohol Research Centre has just published a report called, The health and psychological effects of "ecstasy" (MDMA) use. A number of possible consequences of ecstasy use are considered, and research needed to more definitively answer questions about whether ecstasy has adverse effects on health of type are identified and reviewed.

The report arose out of the increasing perception that there needed to be a summary of existing research on the epidemiology and possible effects of “ecstasy” (MDMA) use, given its increasing prevalence among young adults, and understandable concerns about studies reporting on various putative adverse consequences of this use.
