short description and history from the alt.culture book by daly & wice: legal in the us as recently as 1985, ecstasy (also e, x, xtc and adam) is the street name for mdma, a drug invented by parke-davis in 1917 as an appetite suppressant. while some have jokingly suggested that 'magnanimity' would be more accurate a nickname, others swear mdma is nothing less than penicillin for the soul. alexander shulgin, the self-described stepfather of mdma, has arged strenously in favour of the terapeutic use of the drug, which is most commly experienced as a potent 'empathogen' giving the user pleasant feelings of acceptance and love. ecstasy was also the chief catalyst behind the rise of rave culture in late eighties britian, and early nineties california.
