Ecstasy (MDMA)
Ecstasy (MDMA) History
A History of MDMA
MDMA was first synthesized in 1912. It was patented in Germany by the Merck Company in 1914. At that time it was not the subject of human research.
Merck stumbled across MDMA when they tried to synthesize Hydrastinin, a vasoconstrictive and styptic medicine.
MDMA was an unplanned by-product of this synthesis. As usual, the process of its synthesis was patented.
It can not be reconstructed to what extent Merck tested MDMA and what the results of such testing were, but it can be excluded with certainty that MDMA was ever considered as an appetite suppressant.
In the 1950s it was briefly researched by the U.S. Government as part of the CIA's and the Army's chemical warfare investigations, a commissioned research in 1953/54 on MDA, MDMA and other substances as a truth serum. They proved to be unsuitable for this purpose.
The results of this research were not published until 1973. The first reported recreational use was in the 1960s.
In the middle 1970s, it was rediscovered by the psychedelic therapy community and began to be used as an adjunct to psychotherapy by psychiatrists and therapists who were familiar with the field of psychedelic psychotherapy. MAPS published a book, The Secret Chief, about the leader of this therapy community.

More History of MDMA
In the early 1980s, the drug began to be used non-medically, particularly in Texas, under the name Ecstasy.
Both the non-medical and therapeutic use of MDMA were made illegal in 1985 despite the Drug Enforcement Administration Administrative Law Judge Francis Young's recommendation that physicians be permitted to continue to administer it to their patients.
Soon afterwards its use rapidly spread outside the United States as well. In Dallas, where alcohol was prohibited at the Southern Methodist University, students bought legal MDMA as a substitute, paying by credit card.
The US consumption rose from 10,000 doses in the whole year of 1976 to 30,000 doses a month in 1985. At the same time the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reported that 30,000 doses a month were being used in the state of Texas alone.
A 1987 survey revealed that 40% of students on the campus of Stanford University had used MDMA. In 1985 MDMA was prohibited by the Drug Enforcement Administration, when it was given the same status as heroin and LSD.

Powell: Is suspected in two homicides.
Authorities have arrested a suspect in last summer's slaying of a Vallejo man whose bullet-ridden body was found in a parked van.
Troy Lee Powell, 25, of Menlo Park, is charged with killing 29-year-old Daniel Jamal Shropshire in August 2005, Solano County Deputy District Attorney John Kealy said Thursday. Powell was arrested earlier this month in Las Vegas and faces extradition to California.
On Thursday, Fremont police also named Powell as a suspect in January's slaying and robbery of a pawn shop owner. Powell may appear on those charges in Alameda County Superior Court as early as today, officials said.
Kealy said it was not clear when Solano County would have a chance to arraign Powell on the Vallejo charges. A Solano County warrant was issued for Powell's arrest on June 13, but Kealy declined
Shropshire: Was shot to death in August.
to say when or why he was identified as an official suspect.
"His name surfaced as a person of interest in the case fairly early on in the investigation," Kealy said.
Lt. Lori Lee, a Vallejo police spokeswoman, said Thursday that detectives from her agency recently interviewed Powell in Las Vegas, but had already determined he was a suspect in the Shropshire case. Lee said she did not know what led detectives to suspect Powell.
Officials declined to discuss a possible motive, nor would they say whether they believe Powell acted alone. Authorities have said earlier they were unsure if robbery was the motive, but said Shropshire's wallet, watch, jewelry and other personal items were still on him when he was found.
Shropshire's father, Ken Shropshire of San Jose, said Thursday that he was thrilled when authorities notified him of the arrest.
"I'm very ecstatic about it," the father said. "I'm glad something transpired."
The father said Powell's name was not familiar to the family.
Shropshire was shot at least 16 times in the early morning of Aug. 18, authorities said. Residents found his body in the driver's seat of a green van abandoned near Florida and Grennan streets. He had borrowed the van from a friend in exchange for working on it, authorities said.
During past interviews, officials said a set of decorative gold teeth found at the crime scene were key to solving Shropshire's slaying. But Kealy declined Thursday to discuss whether that evidence was linked to Powell.
