MDMA – Respect your brain

Carefree, loved-up, wide-awake. MDMA boosts the feel-good chemicals in your brain: serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. MDMA will increase heat production and stops your hypothalamus from regulating brain temperature. In high doses, whether you’re dancing or chilling, your brain gets dangerously hot. Overheating, even by a few degrees, can be fatal or damage your brain cells. It can make your heart race and your jaw clench. When MDMA wears off, you can feel down or anxious. Any amount is risky, and it affects everyone differently. The more you take, the more often, the more damage you can do. Respect your brain.
