5. Ecstasy
E, MDMA, Molly, Mandy: all are names for the world’s favorite party drug. The drug of choice for many ravers, esctasy’s effects include a state of overwhelming emotion, enhanced empathy and increased sociability.
In response to a period where the quality of the drug available was considered poor, manufacturers started to produce it in powder and tablet form. These forms were the most trafficked drugs on the Darknet in 2014.
A massive clampdown by governments on the sale of ecstasy precursors has driven manufacturers underground. But as it is responsible for $16.07 billion in sales across the globe, the market still thrives. The largest seizures of ecstasy occur in East and South-East Asia followed by South-Eastern and Western Europe. These regions account for three quarters of the global seizures of the drug.
