The psychoactive substance MBDB, a selective serotonin-releasing agent similar to MDMA (ecstasy), was identified in urine samples from ten people suspected of petty drug offenses in Sweden. MBDB concentrations ranged from 0.1 to 24 micrograms per milliliter. Its metabolite BDB was also detected. In seven of the ten samples, MBDB and BDB were the only ecstasy-type compounds present, though other drugs were found. This appears to be the first report of MBDB abuse in Sweden.
