From what I read, MDMA is barely worse than weed or booze.
MDMA is not a "proper" psychadelic imo
MDMA (what's ecstasy?) could get approval but it could also result in people getting addicted to it. Doesn't take a lot of searching to find stories of people who damage their brains after prolonged usage. I'm sure MDMA has its benefits, but there's probably other risks involved in prescribing it in a healthcare setting. Benzodiazepines were routinely given out by doctors, but probably worsened overall anxiety in a lot of patients. Now they are rarely prescribed.
Not MDMA, but correlational data exists for classic psychedelics: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28443703
Mdma is not a psychedelic. Have you tried it?
The only problem with MDMA is it is not legal in the majority of countries. Up to hundreds thousands (something less maybe, but still a lot) of people all over the world would gladly submit reports about their experiences of taking MDMA together with and without these substances (piracetam, magnesium, antioxidants etc) if this was not associated with risk of getting busted by the authorities. I have no doubt his advices would have been proven statistically then.
I’ve heard of the benefits of mdma therapy
Not being flippant, but some MDMA. It makes a huge difference to my quality of life if used occasionally.
What's MDMA's addiction risk profile and therapeutic use potential vs. other "party drugs" such as - say - cocaine?
MDMA triggers very bad depression wouldn't recommend itI think marijuana is a better alternative to MDMAAll in all I reject taking any drugs now.Just exercise and meditation to feel stoned.The mind is powerful, use it, don't use chemicals!
