If you are reading this, you may have already tried MDMA, also known as ecstasy or Molly, in your twenties. The illegal party drug first hit the public consciousness through the late eighties and early nineties rave scene. It has been experiencing a bit of a comeback of late. Not me, though I have done lots else—I am in my early sixties, after all.
Perhaps it’s because I’m a control freak—and anything too mind-altering has put me off (even the tiniest bit of pot makes me paranoid). Perhaps more likely, I was never actually offered it. It’s the same with my partner of more than three decades. Until now.
