Magic Mushrooms Alleviated Severe Depression in 100% of "Untreatable" Patients

MDMA has also been shown to have incredibly life-changing effects for people with PTSD. All of the psychoactive drugs the government has made illegal are starting to show revolutionary medical benefits. If marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, Iboga, and the countless other illegal drugs with these HUGE medicinal benefits aren't at least moved out of schedule one, there needs to be some serious protest. This is yet another example of the government withholding life-saving treatments in the name of "safety", except instead of studying the treatments in their usual overbearing regulatory framework (the FDA), the government is throwing the patients in prison. Simply ridiculous in my mind.

MDMA for PTSD makes so much sense. Best to make the most of it though, MDMA is not all that great for nerve cells.

Well in the MAPS study they only took it two or three times and they were done so I'd say it's pretty negligible for curing PTSD lol. And that ice-cream scoop study people always cite for nerve damage was retracted because they "accidentally" used straight meth. It's actually not that bad for you if you know what's neuroprotective against it, and I'm sure the therapists who would be administering MDMA know all that stuff. Still wouldn't advise taking it all the time or anything though lol

I agree with you above.. Here is something though:

and I'm sure the therapists who would be administering MDMA know all that stuff

Except in my experience most people including the ones certified medially, ignore or really basic stuff when it comes to long-term safety or sustainability... It is really our jobs to form our own opinions.
