> Yes, in fact a psychologist I was seeing had used it in treatment as well as did a number of her colleagues.

And this psychologist, does this psychologist still have her clinical psychology license? Or did it get pulled somewhere along the line?

>I did not personally undergo therapy using ecstacy with her because by the time I began seeing her it had just become illegal. This was in Berkeley, CA in the 70's and quite a few psychs and psychiatrists were using it with alot of excitement.

Mostly a bunch of headcase jewish psychologists and psychiatrists who were recovering hippies from the sixties conducted these studies right? How many of them still have their licenses?


It has tremendous potential for cutting through layers and layers of ego stuff and self denial and arriving at a new and healthy perspective

Wow...far out man. Im impressed. So all this acid and stuff you did back then...is that why you call yourself "beardedlady?" Is that what happened to you?

Hallucinogenic drugs have no place in the treatment of mental illness and more times than not, will exacerbate mental illness, sometimes creating a psychosis that didnt previously exist. Any mental health worker who advocates the use of such hallucinogenics should be IMMEDIATELY reported to their state licensing board and have their license pulled.
