Doctors are planning the first clinical trial of ecstasy in the UK, to see whether the drug can be beneficial to the traumatised survivors of child abuse, rape and war.
Ecstasy and other illegal drugs such as LSD and magic mushrooms are potentially useful in treating people with serious psychological disturbance who cannot begin to face up to their distress, some psychiatrists and therapists believe. But because of public fear and tabloid anger about illegal drugs, scientists say they find it almost impossible to explore their potential....

Just pure MDMA right?
none of that speed based, caffeine based, etc.

Sounds like the people that are going to be prescribed to that are lucky as fuck.

I'm sure if you went through whet they will have to, to qualify for the trial, you wouldn't call it lucky.

They're lucky they got into the study. It's not like they get takehomes.

From some things there is no cure, just the resolve to leave it in the past and face the future as it presents itself in the present.
I DO believe it is very effective in dealing with a host of social interaction problems and complexes.
