Sold as 'ecstasy' or 'Flatliners', the drug like MDMA is a potent serotonin releaser. Using a self-nominated sampling methodology we accessed over 1000 dance drug users through a magazine survey. Ten percent of respondents thought that they had used 4-MTA. Those with experience of 4-MTA tended to come from a sub-population of heavy 'ecstasy'-users. Responses to the effects of the drug were mixed, although about a quarter of those who believed that they had tried 4-MTA thought that they would use it again.CLOSEDAdultMale330AdolescentIllicit DrugsSubstance-Related DisordersData CollectionAmphetaminesHumansFemaleDancingpublication03 medical and health sciences0302 clinical medicine3.
