Bruxism → Chewing Gum?

Should we add that some users chew gum in order to deal with grinding teeth? Since the article is semi-protected, I wanted to check before just adding it in (especially since finding a good source for this is trickier than I though). Niplav (talk) 13:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

The role of Danny Leclère in the production of XTC as partydrug

I have a proposition to add some text regarding Danny Leclère who developed in the 1990's a formula to produce "pure XTC" as party drug and set up a worldwide illegal network to have the drugs distributed. It's because if him XTC became popular in nightlife. The formula of Leclère is still the most used in the manufacturing of (illegal) XTC. Valid/Trusted references can be found in the article about Danny Leclère. I think a short topic in the article of MDMA is advisable due to Leclère his role in production/distribution of illegal XTC.

is "pure XTC" MDMA? Bon courage (talk) 15:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

According the documentary "Bad, Bad Belgium" the term "pure XTC" refers to the formula by Leclère: it is the first XTC-formula which only contains MDMA as drug. At that time, MDMA-drugs also contained other ingredients such as meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine and para-Methoxy-N-methylamphetamine.

Section on medical use outdated, US-centric, and wrong

The section incorrectly reads "As of 2017, MDMA has no accepted medical indications.[where?] Before it was widely banned, it saw limited use in psychotherapy. In 2017 the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved limited research on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with some preliminary evidence that MDMA may facilitate psychotherapy efficacy for PTSD.".

MDMA has been approved for the treatment of PTSD in Australia (https://www.tga.gov.au/news/media-releases/change-classification-psilocybin-and-mdma-enable-prescribing-authorised-psychiatrists). The accepted medical indication in this case is thus PTSD.

Additionally, the paragraph is very US-centric, in a way that does not fit Wikipedia.

Suggestion to edit the paragraph to: "In 2023, MDMA was approved for the treatment of PTSD in Australia[1]. As of June 2024, it is currently not approved for medical use in other countries." 158.174.187.29 (talk) 12:58, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Add a “metabolism” section going more in depth about the bodies metabolism of the drug, like how it is metabolised by CYP2D6 into MDA through demethylation Big Mocc (talk) 22:09, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Wrong text, totally unscientific

"Use of MDMA individually or in small groups in a quiet environment and when concentrating, is associated with increased lucidity, concentration, sensitivity to aesthetic aspects of the environment, enhanced awareness of emotions, and improved capability of communication."

This is complete and utter BS.

"In our opinion, the most interesting and specific potentiality of MDMA is its capability, in certain situations, to "open the center of the heart" and therefore in the rest of this article this state will be mainly dealt with."

Its trash with three citations. Unscientific trash. Fix it, please. 2A02:2121:61B:75DD:790D:87CA:AC33:F03E (talk) 21:55, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
