It turned me into a lumberjack. And I’m not happy about that. Not at all.

A white supremacist has seen his views radically change after taking a single pill of the drug MDMA.
Brendan - whose full name is being kept anonymous - was one of the leaders of the white nationalist group US Midwest faction of the American Identity Movement, a group that openly calls for the country to return to 'white rule.'
He took part in a February 2020 trial run by the University of Chicago, which involved giving him 110 milligrams of MDMA.
Brendan wrote a cryptic message in his exit questionnaire that read: 'This experience has helped me sort out a debilitating personal issue. Google my name. I now know what I need to do.'
After searching Brendan's full name online, Dr Harriet de Wit, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at the Chicago college who led the trial, up Brendan's name, they found out that just months before, Brendan had been a leader American Identity Movement's Midwest division and had attended the Charlottesville protest that ended in one death and several injuries
Brendan had been exposed two months earlier by activists at the Chicago Antifascist Action and lost his job. After he took MDMA in de Wit's experiment, he told research assistant Mike Bremmer that what he had to do was love.
'Love is the most important thing,' Brendan said. 'Nothing matters without love.'
'It's what everyone says about this damn drug, that it makes people feel love. To think that a drug could change somebody's beliefs and thoughts without any expectations – it's mind-boggling,'
Dr Harriet de Wit ran a series of experiments to test if MDMA increased the feelings of pleasantness from touch

So is he gay now? Or laughing his butt off.
When will the government start putting MDMA in the water supply?
Does he even exist? White supremacists seem to be a lot harder to find that the Dim media makes them out to be. Almost like finding Sasquatch.
Love is the drug, and I need to score.
I believe this. You bet. Entirely accurate, that Daily Mail. Did they mention all the deaths from one dose?
Sounds believable right? 😂😂😂
In other words, they lobotomized him.

Is he attending raves with glow sticks? Raw dogging randos at club foam cannon parties? Did he go to Coachella?

What is MDMA?
3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) is a synthetic drug that alters mood and perception (awareness of surrounding objects and conditions). It is chemically similar to both stimulants and hallucinogens, producing feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, and distorted sensory and time perception.
MDMA was initially popular in the nightclub scene and at all-night dance parties (”raves”), but the drug now affects a broader range of people who more commonly call the drug Ecstasy or Molly.
You’re aging yourself 😆
However, once his identity became public and he was fired from his job, his trajectory changed. He saw a Facebook ad in 2020 for a drug trial at the University of Chicago and joined to make some extra money.
At one of the visits, Brendan was given a pill. He didn’t know it was 110 milligrams of MDMA.
You’re a lumberjack and that’s ok.
I wonder if it works on black supremacists.
Man who took 40,000 ecstasy tablets and lived to tell the tale: Raver, 37, popped up to 25 pills a DAY for nine years was left unable to move for weeks after stopping
The man dubbed ‘Mr A’ took the drug nearly everyday for nine years of his life
Habitual use left him with depression, anxiety, memory issues and rigid muscles
40,000 tablets of ecstasy is the most that has ever been taken by a single person
"The novel opens in the World State city of London in AF (After Ford) 632 (AD 2540 in the Gregorian calendar), where citizens are engineered through artificial wombs and childhood indoctrination programmes into predetermined classes (or castes) based on intelligence and labour. Lenina Crowne, a hatchery worker, is popular and sexually desirable, but Bernard Marx, a psychologist, is not. He is shorter in stature than the average member of his high caste, which gives him an inferiority complex. His work with sleep-learning allows him to understand, and disapprove of, his society's methods of keeping its citizens peaceful, which includes their constant consumption of a soothing, happiness-producing drug called "soma". Courting disaster, Bernard is vocal and arrogant about his criticisms, and his boss contemplates exiling him to Iceland because of his nonconformity. His only friend is Helmholtz Watson, a gifted writer who finds it difficult to use his talents creatively in their pain-free society."
T’ain’t no big thing to wait for the bell to ring.
