MDMA therapy for PTSD expected to get US approval after latest trial

US regulators could soon authorize MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder

“We know that MDMA facilitates the retrieval and then the reconsolidation of fear memories within the amygdala,” says Mitchell. “And so somehow in this process of retrieval and reconsolidation, it seems that you are shedding some of the emotionality associated with the memory.”

Wie gefährlich ist Ecstasy?

@tagesschau

Ich habe als junger Jugendlicher (laaaange her) früh vor meinem 1. Konsum gelernt, dass "" ein Mix aus diversen und sonstigem Dreck mit unklaren Folgen sein kann, "" aber die Reinform, ein Einzelstoff, nur nebenbei. Weiters haben wir noch über die Drogen geredet, die wir konsumieren wollten ODER, aufgepasst, NICHT; und konnten sie testen lassen. Vielleicht scheitert es daran, dass man Kinder vor dem Thema(!!) Drogen durch Verschweigen zwanghaft schützen will?

How a dose of MDMA transformed a white supremacist

'Brendan was once a leader in the US white nationalist movement. But when he took the drug MDMA in a scientific study, it would radically change his extremist beliefs – to the surprise of everyone involved. Rachel Nuwer investigates what happened'

"After the experience, Brendan returned a form to the researchers and wrote: "This experience has helped me sort out a debilitating personal issue. Google my name. I now know what I need to do."

Immediately they were concerned as to what "sorting out an issue" might refer to, but when they tracked him down, Brendan revealed that what he needed to do was simply love, as opposed to something more sinister."

Psychedelic scientist sends brains back to childhood - could ‘re-open’ critical learning periods using so that adults, seniors, and the disabled might be able to more effectively re-learn certain skills. Wow. This sounds like breakthrough research to me. And the principal researcher is very impressive, her credentials are top-shelf. https://www.wired.com/story/the-psychedelic-scientist-who-sends-brains-back-to-childhood/
