HISTORY
the MDMA was synthesized in 1912 by the German laboratory Merck Pharmaceutical Company and was tested in 1914 like growth regulator. The female volunteers, who test it find to him curious effects and by prudence, product N? is not marketed. In the middle of the Sixties, Alexander Shulgin, chemist at Dow Chemicals, start its research on psychedelic drugs and test, on itself and his/her friends, the made up MDMA and 179 others which it synthesized. These autobiographical experiments are consigned in its work worship “PIHKAL”, for “Phénéthylamines, I Cuts Known And Loved”. This N? is that in 1976 that the first article devoted to the psychotropic activity of the MDMA is published by Shulgin and Nichols, but it was regarded a long time as an entertaining drug without danger. The publications on its toxicity appeared only later about the Eighties. All these new entertaining drugs are gathered under the name of “Designer drugs” or drugs of syntheses.
Years 77 to 85 are the golden age of the ecstasy, primarily in the United States where the product replaces cocaine near connected youth. On July 1, 1985, American agency of control of the narcotics, the DEA, decides to prohibit the ecstasy and the registered voter in the most restrictive category, usually reserved for the narcotics inducing a strong dependence. From this date, the ecstasy gains Europe, primarily as from the hot nights of Ibiza. The ecstasy will be closely associated the music “house”, “jungle”, “garage”, then finally “techno”. This legal statute was ratified at the international level by its inscription in table 1 of the Convention of Vienna on the psychotropic substances in 1986. In France, C? is a ministerial decree of July 9, 1986 which classifies it in table B, list of the illicit narcotics, without any therapeutic quality, without no study on its possible therapeutic uses being undertaken. The consumption of ecstasy will not cease growing since 1991, parallel to a consequent fall of the prices.
In France it is from 1988 that the scientific circles starts to know certain numbers people having badly supported this consumption and having developed more or less severe and durable anxious states

Introduction:
It is regrettable to have to note that the problem of the narcotics is related to the fact that the young people of today are guided by their desires rebel rather than by values morals.
If the Seventies were primarily remembered by the consumption of heroin, the cannabis and the LSD, the Eighties see appearing the designers drugs, drugs of synthesis, drugs of turnip, drugs synthetic? as many terms used in order to treat this qu? new drugs commonly are called. The names of these substances, their effects, their dangers and their compositions, often came from there to merge in our spirits.
Indeed the entertaining use of the stimulants type amphetamines (STA), and of 3,4-MéthylèneDioxyMéthAmphétamine (MDMA or ecstasy) in particular, inaugurates at the end of the Eighties, a new era of drug-addiction. Leader of drugs of the synthesis and by far most media, the ecstasy is primarily consumed in a context of festival combining music techno and dances, the catch of product supporting the passage in a state of consciousness modified, near to hypnotic fright where many psychological barriers are lowered. But their uses for intellectual doping and sporting remainder also of topicality.
