Researchers have gained government approval to test the drug "Ecstasy" as a treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder for the first time since the drug was criminalized in 1985.
[...] In the 1970s, MDMA was used by many psychiatrists to treat the disorder. Some psychiatrists believe the drug can allow victims to have a cathartic moment, releasing their emotional stress over an incident.
Treatment using MDMA stopped as the federal government began to crack down on the drug for its recreational use.

I was wondering, do you think heroin and crack should be legal?

"In the 1970s, MDMA was used by many psychiatrists to treat the disorder"LOL...which proves that I was talking about something I know nothing about. I apologize as I extracate my foot from my mouth.
