近年来，摇头丸在巴西的使用越来越引人注目。然而，关于这个问题的科学数据仍然很少。本研究主要通过定性研究和民族志研究来阐明这一现象。观察性研究(N=8)、从关键线人处获得的信息(N=14)以及对来自圣保罗市的摇头丸使用者的访谈(N=32)是这项研究的一部分。结果指出，在夜总会和狂欢派对中，电子音乐是主要的使用环境。对用户的采访显示，他们是社会最高层的年轻成年成员，具有良好的教育背景和进入劳动力市场的机会。此外，还出现了多药滥用现象。建立了关于毒品使用模式的用户类型学，显示了两种用户概况：“狂欢一代”，由较新的用户组成，他们在20世纪90年代末随着大型狂欢派对的到来而开始使用这种药物。第二个简介是“地狱之子俱乐部”，由更有经验的用户组成(从20世纪90年代初开始)，显示了更丰富的使用历史。两个个人资料组都没有就摇头丸的使用寻求帮助，并且都对使用的安全性表现出积极的信念。
The use of Ecstasy in Brazil has gained visibility in recent years. Nevertheless, scientific data on this issue remain scarce. The present study focused on clarifying this phenomenon by means of qualitative and ethnographic research. Observational studies (N = 8), information obtained from key informants (N = 14) and interviews with Ecstasy users (N = 32) from the city of Sao Paulo were part of this study. The results pointed to night clubs and rave parties where electronic music is played as the main context of use. Interviews with users revealed a sample of young adult members of the highest layers of society, with a good educational background and access to the labor market. Furthermore, polydrug use was manifested. Users' typology was established regarding the pattern of drug use, showing two profiles of users: the "Rave Generation," consisting of more recent users who initiated this use with the arrival of the large-sized rave parties at the end of the 1990s. The second profile, the "Sons of the Hell's Club," consisted of more experienced users (beginning in the early 1990s) and showed a richer history of use. Neither profile group had sought help regarding their Ecstasy use, and both showed positive beliefs related to the safety of use.
