I found a patent (US 2449644) on direct amination of stryrenes, propenylbenzenes, etc. using an amine and sodium.  Note the structure in column 2 of the patent:

Ar-CR=CH-R'

If Ar was 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl, R was H and R' was methyl you should get MDMA.  Here's a new page I made

which includes patents on direct amination.  Note, also, the patents on Wacker/peracid reactions.

My cat keeps talking to me. Should i answer or or finish eating this piece of paper?

Here's another interesting direct amination patent.  US 3889600 1-(2-(Phenyl-lower-alkyl)- Aziridines Munition Payload
Not quite an LSD bomb, but almost an ecstacy bomb (uses a related chemical).
Ethylenimine and Na are reacted with a styrene or propenylbenzene to get an aziridine form of a phenethylamine or phenylisopropylamine.  Maybe methylamine will work in place of ethylenimine or maybe methylbenzylamine then hydrogenation.

These two patents are on amination of P2Ps with alpha-methylbenzylamine which is hydrogenated to get asymmetric amphetamines.
