Entactogens
Entactogens are a class of psychoactive substances that promote feelings of emotional closeness, empathy, and connection with others. They are often associated with the MDMA compound, commonly known as "Ecstasy." Users typically report enhanced sensory perception and a sense of well-being, making these substances popular in social settings, such as music festivals and parties.
These substances work primarily by increasing the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain. While entactogens can foster positive social interactions, they also carry risks, including potential for abuse and negative health effects, particularly when used in uncontrolled environments.
