Anyone seen this FDA approved research by a private clinic to use MDMA during psychotherapy (for those with cancer and other life-threatening diseases article says)

"rather than calming or sedating, a four- or five-hour psychedelic journey with MDMA, Wolfson said, can be “transformationally potent” when used in a safe, comfortable setting with a pair of trained therapists, one man and one woman."

You might accidentally create an apple product under the influence and at the end of the day not be physically dependent on it.

Yeah, I could not understand why a psychiatrist is a CEO of a company manufacturing lighting products.

I'm hoping a serious re-exploration of therapeutic applications of MDMA, Psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, ibogaine and other psychedelic substances can begin again beyond end of life anxiety and so forth. Not that that isn't important work, but it seems to me it's only a slow, begrudged beginning, at the intersection of Drug War politics and policy and actual therapeutic possibilities of these agents.

The CIA is interested in your research.

Was interested a la Ken Kesey et al. Until they discovered it and other psychedelic agents weren't effective agents of coercion and interrogation. In fact, quite the opposite as they would later find out, once the genie was out of the bottle. Although they also apparently explored LSD as a potential agent of mass hysteria to be sprayed over potential enemy civilian populations. Lovely.

Or applied to Castro's cigars so that he would freak out during a live broadcast. This went about as well as you'd expect.

Tryin' to catch Castro ridin' dirty.... I guess it's better than smoking it wet.

Is anyone here involved with treatment of PTSD with MDMA?
