in my latest issue of economist, there's an article about mdma's progress in getting a fair shake at an fda drug approval process. the phase 1 safety study came back positive for efficacy of mdma in treating post traumatic stress disorder--from people ranging from rape victims to war veterans. researchers said "we do not have failures". next the drug will go to a larger phase 2 study. if it passes that, which it probably will, it goes to phase 3 research. the advantage mdma has over pharmaceuticals like zoloft etc which costs about a billion dollars to get approved is that much of the research has been done and proven through underground psychiatry and thousands of published research papers making the approval process for it a mere 10 million. soon it may be reclassified as schedule 2, which would have major implications on our national health care burden considering how cheap it is to make, how quickly it results in mental health progress, and the estimated 216,000 war veterans returning from iraq and afghanistan who suffer from the disorder and do not respond well to current ptsd treatments.

I foresee a ton of 50 year-olds buying Armin CDs and Vicks.
And lollipops. Lots and lots of lollipops. |

Also, this.
Anybody who gets their hopes up over this is just fooling themselves. |
