Due to its stimulating and euphoria-inducing effects, its use was a regular feature at techno music events. Later, the drug, like this musical genre, seemed to fall out of fashion. Up until 2010, there was a significant reduction in seizures of MDMA.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7604\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7604\" class=\"wp-image-7604 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graphic-MDMA-consumption_EN-300x238.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic MDMA consumption\" width=\"300\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graphic-MDMA-consumption_EN-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graphic-MDMA-consumption_EN.jpg 355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Seizures of MDMA tablets in Europe<\/strong> Source: European Drug Report 2018<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since then, however, the numbers have been creeping back up. At the same time, the mean purity of MDMA tablets has increased steadily since 2009, according to the European Drug Report 2018.<sup>1<\/sup> In terms of consumption, the report states that \u201cMDMA is often taken alongside other substances, including alcohol. Current indications suggest that, in higher-prevalence countries, MDMA is no longer a niche or subcultural drug limited to dance clubs and parties, but is used by a broad range of young people in mainstream night-life settings, including bars and house parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>New face, same old substance<\/h2>\n<p>A study conducted in Norway in 2017<sup>2<\/sup> indicates that ecstasy has re-emerged as MDMA with a completely new image. Many consumers regard old-fashioned ecstasy pills as risky or even dangerous. In contrast, MDMA \u2013 especially in crystal or powder form&nbsp;\u2013 is seen as safe and clean. This perception is false, however, because the active ingredient is the same. What is true is that the purity of the available drugs is now higher than before.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s consumers of MDMA tend to see themselves as more responsible than ecstasy users and seek to distance themselves from the old rave subculture. The new users cut across all socio-economic groups and social backgrounds. Recently, a surprising story was reported in the press, detailing a new trend whereby middleaged British women have taken to serving MDMA wrapped in brie cheese at dinner parties. The trend has apparently become so popular that the media has given it a name of its own&nbsp;\u2013 \u201cbrieing\u201d. It also highlights the fact that use of the drug is not limited to the younger party scene.<\/p>\n<p>Within Europe, MDMA consumption is most prevalent in Great Britain, Ireland and the Netherlands. In those countries, between 9 and 9.2% of the adult population have consumed MDMA at least once in their lifetimes. Germany appears around the middle of the table, with a figure of 3.3%. Two things are worthy of note in relation to the consumption of this drug.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, MDMA is more popular in big cities than in small towns and, secondly, it is used more often at weekends than on weekdays. These trends have been brought to light thanks to wastewater analyses.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>Significance for roadside screening<\/h2>\n<p>Use of MDMA is much more widespread throughout society today. As a result, screenings to test fi tness to drive must take greater account of the possibility of MDMA consumption. Chemically, MDMA belongs to the group of drugs known as amphetamines\/methamphetamines, which means that it is detected as standard with the DrugWipe saliva rapid screening test. Within a maximum of just five minutes, DrugWipe can detect whether the person tested is under the influence of MDMA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-2qhgwi-42bdff00d361527e65b34698b544a7a0 hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-moa0eadm-57a368bec92d05180c76d2846180ab02 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>MDMA infobox<\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 20.9409%;\"><strong>Drug<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79.0591%;\"><strong>Full chemical name<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 20.9409%;\">MDMA<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79.0591%;\">3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 20.9409%;\">MDA<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79.0591%;\">3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 20.9409%;\">MDEA<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79.0591%;\">3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>The three drugs have a lot in common:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All belong to the group of drugs known as amphetamines\/methamphetamines.<\/li>\n<li>All are detected by DrugWipe.<\/li>\n<li>All are stimulants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MDMA has established itself as a stimulating, euphoriainducing drug, which also increases the user\u2019s empathy and sociability.

MDA was used in psychotherapy for many years, before being banned in 1984. MDMA is the main ingredient in ecstasy. However, MDA and MDEA may also be found in ecstasy tablets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-6ddu2i-db1426e2b44dbbbdd9b9e97febf7e93c hr-default  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-42880a-2a92abaa6bbe2f2d2e69d7e1147f107c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">DrugWipe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 or greater road safety<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-2bcmt6-15365aed6add813cca927e061b115ba6 hr-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mocnu3x4-6c6075942f4fb81c053fdf1e771d15c7 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Sources:<br \/>\n<sup>1 <\/sup>\u00a0European Drug Report 2018, published by the European Monitoring Centre for drugs and Drug addiction (EMCDDA), p. 31<br \/>\n<sup>2<\/sup> Edland-Gryt et al., Int J Drug Policy, Volume 50, 1-8 (2017)<br \/>\n<sup>3<\/sup> www.emcdda.europa.eu\/topics\/pods\/waste-water-analysis_de (2018)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Image sources: Securetec AG, Wikipedia Commons, European Drug Report 2018<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mmt4nfqo-92052e20f9963c231fac36d9a5f0878e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"><div class='w3eden'><!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->\n\n<div class=\"link-template-default card mb-2\">\n    <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <div class=\"media\">\n            <div class=\"mr-3 img-48\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpdm_icon\" alt=\"Icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager\/assets\/file-type-icons\/pdf.svg\" \/><\/div>\n            <div class=\"media-body\">\n                <h3 class=\"package-title\"><a href='https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/download\/securetec-newsletter-current-mdma-consumption\/'>Securetec Newsletter: Current MDMA consumption<\/a><\/h3>\n                <div class=\"text-muted text-small\"><i class=\"fas fa-copy\"><\/i> 1 file(s) <i class=\"fas fa-hdd ml-3\"><\/i> 650.44 KB<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ml-3\">\n                <a class='wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary ' rel='nofollow' href='#' data-downloadurl=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/download\/securetec-newsletter-current-mdma-consumption\/?wpdmdl=7553&refresh=6ac516022adfd1791301122\">Download<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the late 1980s, MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, became the drug of choice on the rave scene.
