"US soldiers traumatized by fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are to be offered the drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares.
The US food and drug administration has given the go-ahead for the soldiers to be included in an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, can treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
Scientists behind the trial in South Carolina think the feelings of emotional closeness reported by those taking the drug could help the soldiers talk about their experiences to therapists."
Ping
Democrats have been given 30m to 1h of BS on the MSM networks to ease the trauma of losing political battles for years with FAA approval.
What?????????
Your links don't work. Post the whole story please.
I can't really think this is serious either. From what I know, Ectasy really messes up your brain.
Total BS.
Sorry, I didn't catch it. I guess the admin. will lock out my post.

Since Feb 14, 2005
Waits a week to post a story from Guerilla News Network.
the researcher (Michael Mithoefer) is a goofball who is using ecstacy for many things:

The author has been into the ecstasy!
This is one load of garbage.
Why one has the need to perpetuate this tripe is beyond me unless they are walking the line between sane and insane, or are "paying their world back" for their rotten weekend.
Troll trash.
You're a bit quicker this morning. I was also looking at some of the google items on Mithoefer.
I wonder if there's something on the FDA website as he mentioned it in this article:

It's not like GNN is at the top of my reading list. As a matter of fact, I had it bookmarked for some reason but this was the first time I ever accessed the site.
Thanks
my 2 cents ....
lets see .. we put a drug on the drug warrior "don't like " list , and it can never be looked at or studied agin. hmmm interesting.
it's a good thing penicillin dosn't have a calming side effect.
