 * How MDMA is Produced and Forms **


 * MDMA is a synthetically produced drug that became famous in the 1980's for it's ability to make people dance. Also known as E or MDMA [based on the drug's chemical name 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine]. **


 * By accident in 1912 by Merck laboratories MDMA was first synthesized during medical research. Two years later, Merck laboratories patented MDMA on Christmas eve 1914. **


 * The making of MDMA is a long and complex involving chemical reactions, distillation, and crystallization. When the MDMA powder is produced, it can be mixed with a binding agent, such as china clay, paper binding, sucrose or lactose, and put into a press to make ecstasy pills. **


 * You'll find logos like doves or cartoons pressed onto the pills to help buyers identify what they are buying. However it does not have any relation to what is actually inside the tablet because ecstasy is not registered. Each tablets strength is determined by how MDMA is added to the mixture of the pill's creation. **
