Aussies officially lead the world in ecstasy consumption, but while we neck vast numbers of pills, we may not stop and think about what they actually do – beyond, of course, providing a a euphoric feeling and a general air of chattiness, followed by a sense of crushing doom and a desire to spend all of the next day hiding under the covers.
When asked to provide a more technical explanation than that, chances are many people would probably stall and mutter something about serotonin before trying to change the subject. Luckily, the good people at ASAP Science have just stepped in, providing a useful and concise summary of what MDMA actually does to your brain.
Thank you, science.
