MDMA Rescheduled in Australia

I propose that the Australian legal section be updated to reflect that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration has rescheduled MDMA to Schedule 8 (Controlled Drug) from Schedule 9 (Prohibited Substance) for certain uses. From 1 July 2023, MDMA can be prescribed for the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder.

I second this. This information in this section is at best incomplete/misleading, and will soon be plainly false. 121.200.4.151 (talk) 04:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Effective January 31, 2023, possession of up to 2.5 grams of MDMA is decriminalized in the Province of British Columbia due to Health Canada mandate^[1] 104.250.78.239 (talk) 10:23, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I have added info about this decriminalization to the section on legality in Canada, but I did not use the text provided as it suggests federal government forced this on the province, when the program was initialized by the province.

"Endogenous" is used in the introduction. It's neither linked nor defined. It's a $5 word. A $0.50 word would be better. Failing that, it would be helpful if it were a link to something - Wiktionary or an appropriate Wikipedia page. Thanks! 108.64.118.44 (talk) 00:48, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The BP in a medium vacuum should not be listed

The infobox currently lists the boiling point at 0.4 mmHg, which is a medium vacuum. It is not sourced, and it doesn't say whether this is the free base or what salt it is. This is nearly useless information and it isn't sourced, it should simply be removed. The melting points of the free base and any common salts, at atmospheric pressure, would be interesting data to add. Boiling point in a vacuum is silly. 209.6.225.254 (talk) 09:36, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is MDMA a psychedelic or not?

The best source for this claim is that there may be 5HT2A agonism, which "supposedly contributes" to "mild psychedelic hallucinations" caused by "high doses" of MDMA. That's a lot of words to say that its status as a psychedelic is pretty flimsy.

The other sources don't support that it is one, either, just that it's commonly referred to as one. This is similar to how cocaine is called a "narcotic," a legal stipulative definition that's quite different from the scientific one.

I'm not arguing that MDMA isn't a psychedelic, but if these are the best sources we have I think it should be removed from the lead. 2600:1017:B103:D814:CCC9:7381:FFDB:5A2D (talk) 17:51, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
