Abstract
For nearly 40 years, MDMA has been used as a party drug
in the Netherlands. Today, more than one in 10 people
have used this prohibited substance at least once. Quite
separate from this recreational use, MDMA also has a
medical use, like ketamine or cannabis. This medical use
of MDMA has been the subject of research for nearly half
a century.
In sum, MDMA is definitely not a novelty in Dutch
society; it has been present here for decades. Why, then,
should we have a State Commission on MDMA at this
specific point in time?
