Volunteers will take MDMA, the pure form of Class A drug, as part of the groundbreaking scientific study to be shown on two new Channel 4 science programmes: Drugs Live: The Ecstasy Trial.

The experiments by Professor David Nutt, the sacked government adviser on drugs, and Prof Val Curran, are designed to see the effect the Ecstasy has on the brain.

The six month long neuroscience study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the effects of MDMA on resting brain activity in healthy volunteers for the first time.

"This is the first study that will involve brain scans of people taking MDMA while not performing any tasks.

"Imaging technology has improved enormously recently, so these experiments will give us a much clearer picture of the fundamental effects of MDMA on the resting brain than anyone has been able to get before.

“The context in which people will take MDMA in this study will be very different and much safer than the context in which people use it recreationally, with a controlled dose, a pure sample of the drug, absence of any other drugs or alcohol, and a doctor monitoring their health.

"This means the study won’t tell us whether it’s safe to take ecstasy in a club, but it will improve our understanding of how MDMA achieves its psychoactive effects.

Its pure MDMA ... best drug EVER bar none

At its best, MDMA enables you to become, for just a few hours, the person you really are.
