#2Sudden outbreak of common sense.

#3Remember this is Australia - a very conservative country. Marijuana possession remains a criminal offence here in most places, with minimal sign this will change any time soon.
When they say "for medical usage", they mean it.
This is not just a nice acceptable easing in of liberal recreational drugs policy.
Don't expect to be buying party drugs from the chemist before going out on saturday night. Despite the fact that this is precisely what should be happening - nice, safe, clean party drugs instead of god knows what probably methamphetamine/ice.

#4I still wouldn’t risk obtaining them legally, discretion is paramount for controversial medicine. One tiny data leak and your reputation is tarnished in certain circles, and that doesn’t even get into why the government knowing about it could be risky.

How could one possibly harm their reputation by using a legal medication

#6I have had the happiest moments of my life on MDMA. Everyone should have experienced it at least once. Let me put it another way: No matter how happy you have ever been, on MDMA you can be happier. Somewhere between 3 and 100 times as happy. You gain perspective.
Now, with experience, I would only ever use it with purpose. Dating someone seriously? Have a night on MDMA and you will experience love beyond comprehension.

It's an uncomfortable in-between area as laws shift towards common sense but social values among certain cohorts remain defiantly anchored in the past. We've seen it a million times before and we always get past that in-between area, though not without casualties.

Even if it's not legalized for recreational use, MDMA is a potent, useful therapeutic treatment. This is a good thing, and hopefully the US government will get its head out of the dark ages and follow suit promptly.

I thought the reason ts/sci people weren't allowed to have any drug use in their history was because using illegal drugs could open them to blackmail? If you're taking an above-board medicine that wouldn't be a factor. I can't imagine one would lose their clearance if they were taking prescription amphetamines for ADHD treament, for example.
