#3I have no doubts, and I'm so thankful of the research that MAPS is doing. I haven't even been thru any trauma and MDMA pulled me out of depression and greatly reduced my anxiety. It was an absolute miracle for me. It disgusts me that the stuff is illegal while cigarettes and alcohol are not. AMA.

Haha, if they were a veterinarian they'd have easier access to treat their depression with the party drug and cat tranquilliser Ketamine, which also actually works[1]

#5MDMA can be extremely dangerous to your long term mental health. I'm not saying it doesn't have valid medical benefits, it certainly seems to, but if you consumed MDMA at any where near the frequency it is safe to consume alcohol it would not go well.
Don't get me wrong, I think it should be legal, but lets not pretend it is comparable to alcohol.
Edit: TL;DR MDMA probably has incredible medical benefits, but this does not mean that it can be safely consumed at the same frequency as alcohol or tobacco.

My understanding is that ptsd related depression responds differently to treatment than depression alone.

Alcohol in particular is notorious for making depression worse.

If alcohol was brand new, it likely would be a scheduled drug and very well controlled.
It’s only allowed because it’s very old and well integrated to some societies.

Am very interested in hearing more about the methods you used.
Did you just take MDMA recreationally and your depression got better, or did you do it together with (or at the same time as?) therapy? How many times/over how long time?
Thank you

No one said anyone should consume MDMA at the same frequency you could safely consume alcohol.
