3,4-Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine, commonly known as ecstasy; and molly or mandy, is a potent empathogen–entactogen with stimulant properties primarily used for recreational purposes. The beneficial pharmacological effects include altered sensations, increased energy, empathy, and pleasure.

Acute Effects
A person may experience the intoxicating effects of MDMA within 45 minutes or so after taking a single dose. Those effects include an enhanced sense of well-being, increased extroversion, emotional warmth, empathy toward others, and a willingness to discuss emotionally-charged memories. In addition, people report enhanced sensory perception as a hallmark of the MDMA experience.

Given that most people who use MDMA are young and in their reproductive years,⁵⁰ some females may use MDMA when pregnant. Research suggests that MDMA may have adverse effects on the developing fetus. One study in humans showed that prenatal MDMA exposure was associated with motor delays in the offspring up to 2 years after birth.
