Participants in studies of the psychedelic, which is up for U.S. approval, tell WSJ they felt pressure to report positive outcomes

The Food and Drug Administration is expected within days to decide whether to approve the drug, known as MDMA, for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Approval would be a milestone in decades of efforts to decriminalize the use of psychedelics.

The article is pay walled but you get the gist.

I love the Wall Street Journal economic journalism, but I’m not willing to pay like 35 bucks for a subscription lol. Maybe if I was an entrepreneur who needed it for business. But for an everyday user, there’s no need for it to be that expensive.

Ecstasy made and distributed by professionals can probably be helpful and used therapeuticly.

I heard of a psychiatrist in Sydney that prescribes it but only in tiny doses and it’s nothing like the street drugs of ecstasy.

Ecstasy in tinny doses prescribed by dr for morning and ketamine or meth perscribed by dr for sleep time at night.

That could work.:slightly_smiling_face:

There are some amazing medications .
Difficult to get hold of though.:crazy_face:

Some think that in tiny doses and pure and good chemistry it will help.

There is a chance it could worsen one.

Street drugs would make one worse probably.

One psychiatrist in Sydney perscribes it sometimes.
