==Subjective effects==

The subjective ~~effects~~ of ~~entactogens are defined by~~ a single key component which occurs in a varying levels of intensity across a broad range of substances. This effect is listed and defined in its own dedicated article below:

The primary subjective effect of any entactogen is a single key component which occurs in a varying levels of intensity across a broad range of substances. This effect is listed and defined in its own dedicated article below:

*[[Cognitive effects: Increased empathy, love and sociability|Increased empathy, love and sociability]]

Along side of this a variety of non essential secondary effects are often present. These generally include but are not limited to:

*[[Physical effects: Stimulation|Stimulation]]

*[[Physical effects: Euphoria|Euphoria]]

*[[Cognitive effects: Acceleration of thought|Acceleration of thought]]

*[[Cognitive effects: Introspection|Introspection]]

Putative members of this class include [[2C-B]], [[2C-I]](at 2-14mg), [[MDMA]], [[3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine|MDA]], [[Methylenedioxyethylamphetamine|MDEA]], [[MBDB]] and [[6-APB]] among others. The [[chemical structure]] of many entactogens contains a [[substituted amphetamine]] core, and most belong to the [[phenethylamine]] class of psychoactive drugs, although several (AET and [[alpha-methyltryptamine|AMT]]) are [[tryptamine]]s. When referring to MDMA and its counterparts, the term '[[MDxx]]' is often used with the exception of [[MDPV]]. Entactogens are sometimes incorrectly referred to as major [[hallucinogens]] or [[stimulant]]s, which is untrue although their effects are often somewhat similar.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}}
