fafalone Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 After 2 years of searching, a South Carolina psychiatrist found an Institutional Review Board to approve a limited clinical trial that will use MDMA (Ecstacy, X, ADAM) in psychotherapy on a group of women suffering from PTSD resulting from rape or other violence. The study will be placebo controlled and limited to a group of 20 in the first round. Despite its use as an adjunct to psychotherapy in the 1970s, MDMA was made a Schedule I drug and this is the first study approved since it was scheduled. Hopefully this is a very small step towards a better understanding of the potential benefits of DEA-vilified substances. http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/02/25/ecstasy.study/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 under lab conditions even snake venom can can proove to usefull and life saving (it`s pointless villifying anything without propper tests), and being as it will be clinicaly pure MDMA and not the crap on the streets, I think it`s an excellent idea, not every medicine suits everone, but if this helps just a few people then go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 What sort of benefits might we reasonably expect in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 It facilitates a great enhancement of communication between people (much more than any other known substance), which is very helpful in psychology for identification of the sources of problems and dealing with them in the open.

YT2095 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 and probably alot safer than Scapolamine or sodium pentethal "We have ways of making you talk!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Now I hear they're using a scopolamine injection to stop people from smoking... pretty effective too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 it`s gotta be low dosage though surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Edward Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I guess a high dosage would be effective too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
