I'm not sure that you or others on this thread realize that MDMA was used as a theraputic tool among pyschologists for YEARS before it was outlawed in an emergency action by the FDA in response to its use on the party scene. There's a series of interesting books published posthumously and anonymously by pyschologists who continue to use the substance for counseling.

MDMA is Schedule III in Canada and thus considered suitable for medical trials. It's commonly used for post-traumatic rape victims. The substance allows an individual to deal with particularly painful situations that can take literal years of therapy to overcome.

Speaking as a close friend of someone who was counseled in an MDMA trial (for post-traumatic rape), it is a miracle drug and it is a crying shame that it remains schedule I in America (no medical use recognized). Even Cocaine is listed as a schedule II. They put some in my eye when I had lasic surgery.

I know plenty about the MDMA. Was created in early 20th century as a diet drug.

Hey, the suffering of those who need a medicine is a small price to pay for preventing unauthorized fun. If partiers want mind alteration, let them get violent and cirrhotic on alcohol like good Americans!
