Myths About MDMA

As it often happens to things on which people do not have enough information, MDMA or ecstasy enjoys its fair share of myths. When searching for MDMA information, try to set apart truth from myth, as there is plenty of misleading information out there. Here are the most common myths about MDMA effects that have been spread around during recent years.

MDMA Contains Other Drugs

MDMA became so popular because it can trigger an elevation in natural antidepressant levels in the brain, and also because less unwanted side effects are linked to its usage than other drugs. Even if there is no such thing as a safe drug, knowing the truth about the MDMA information you can find all over the place is equally important. A myth about ecstasy says that it is often mixed with other drugs such as heroin, cocaine or mescaline. Why is this untrue? For starters, ecstasy often sells for a much cheaper price than the said drugs, which means that it would not work for dealers to lose money by selling their expensive stuff for a low benefit. There is no evidence to support this myth, and test kits can easily show that MDMA does not contain other types of drugs.

Contaminated MDMA

Large concern was triggered when in Holland a pill of ecstasy was discovered to contain rat poison. However, besides this isolated episode, there was no proof that large quantities of pills with rat poison were sold on the streets. Also, another similar myth about MDMA was related to ecstasy pills containing crushed glass, but there was not even one pill found to actually be contaminated this way. Well research MDMA information shows such news is nothing but exploitation, delivered by tabloids to impress audience, and nothing more.

Nothing Compares To Having Sex On MDMA

While it is true that MDMA effects include an important release of natural antidepressant, that determines the user to feel less inhibitions, MDMA information provided by users on how sex while high on ecstasy is much better than the real thing seems to be nothing else but a myth. Although it is known as the ‘love drug’, this name was earned because of the emotions of love experienced by users that do not necessarily have sexual connotations. Also, many men using ecstasy admit that it is harder for them to reach and maintain an erection, and many users say that it is more difficult to achieve orgasm, although high on a huge release of natural antidepressant.

The MDMA ‘Holes In The Brain’ Myth

One of the best known myths about MDMA effects is the one concerning the presence of holes in the brain of users. Shown on Oprah show, the scans of a woman’s brain that had used a lot of MDMA were said to point out that the organ was so affected by the drug use that it presented actual holes. However, medical based MDMA information rebutted this myth, after comparing brain scans from people using the drug and people not using it.
