There is a lot of controversy surrounding mdma(ecstacy) but it appears to have a lot of theraputic benifits. I can tell you from having used the drug myself, that it truely gets rid of social anxiety and increases empathy. Im thinking eventually it will get approved by the FDA for theraputic use.There are some issues I would like to bring up.
There is a tolerance level that increases drasticly with the first couple of usages,where the user has to wait weeks or months before he or she uses again in order to achieve those same effects. I wonder how they would combat this, especially if it is to eventually be perscribed as a drug taken daily.Also the duration of time that the effects last is 3-6 hours. People are gona need for it to last their whole day in order for it to be effective.
Methamphetamine,a close relative of MDMA, is used in ADD medication such Ritalin and Adderall. They were able to release time release forms of those drugs that last 12 plus hours.So I dont see why they cant with mdma. MDMA has been shown to be extremly effective in combating PTSD,Depression Social Anxiety,Schitzophrenia and autism and is currently undergoing more research.
Wat do you guys think?
