have lost the friggin link now ...think it was fridays Guardian ...mdma in trials for stress anxiety relief ...especialy in severe cases of the military coming back with mashed heads full of horror.
alcohilsm and addiction ...
thing is there is nothing new in this ...it was being used this way just after the first world war with great sucsess and again as recently as in the late seventies by the american institute of psychiatrists.
but ...it's all new again now for the masses ...MDMA may have medical use!
SOME OF US ALREADY KNOW THIS ...

I can't see how they could do this in the UK, its legal status says it has no medical use so it would be nigh on impossible to get permission to do this.
Its good news though, before the ban in the US there was quite a bit of research on its use in this setting.
Even the UN suggested its use for mental health treatment should be investigated when it included it in the UN Treaty on Narcotic Drugs.
i lve in Glouceseter in the south west england, saturday nite i poppd down to bristol for a random nite out i felt like it.. not far, but drugs are plentiful in the bigger cities, anyway i scored 2 pills in Lakota, couldn't see the brand, white unscored stack could be a Batman? did two together and FELT hugely myself again, love for myself and love for others...
tho no-one would even ever consider using MDMA for someone in my position it fucking healed me (i dont swear much btw). but i feel myself again, after around 8 months of weakness...
i sincerely hope these tests go well (they will!! innit roll, i guaretnee they will go well) and that MDMA can be understood and utilised for people who are depressed, afraid, full of hatred..
its a great chemical..
if you know the history of mdma ...you will know that just after the first world war they were using it theraputicaly and also through the sixties and seventies ...in controlled counselling sessions on the couch etc.
with fantastic results.
it was being sucsessfully used for relationship problems (marriage guidance) depression ...anxiety and a host of other things then came big usa government and stopped it all ...the american psyciatrists who used this drug as treatment for years were up in arms ...but they were ignored.
using mdma therapueticly is not new ...they are talking bullshit as usual.
It wasnt untill quite a bit later that it was experimented on as a possible aid to therapy.
Most of the tests where done in the US in the late 60's and 70's before it was banned there.
What you are doing is very risky, particularly if you taking medication to control your symptoms, and wouldn't be condoned by any health professional. Please do be careful with this.
like loads of prescription drugs can be abused for 'pleasure'
I'd disagree with that on both counts.
Some illegal drugs has some uses which can be useful to some people, some of the time. But very few have theraputic uses really.
And most prescription drugs have no abuse potential at all.
people abuse valium and any other downers ...people abuse all opiates.
people abuse all stimulants and most stimulants are used in medicine including coke and amphetamines.
illegal drugs as in stimulants and opiates and cannabis ...have massive medical use.
Nicholas Saunders, in his book E is for Ecstacy, has a chapter on the History of Ecstacy that you may find interesting reading then Trinity...
You will note I said MOST prescription drugs have no abuse potential, whats the most widely prescribed things, antibiotics, anti inflamatories, heart medicines.....etc. All with NO abuse potential at ALL.
And yes, some illegal drugs have medical use, but that wasnt really what I was saying, the thread specifically is about theraputic use, cocaine and opium do NOT have theraputic use.
have you ever burgled a chemists shop?
You know what I mean. Read a bit about Freud's early experiments with cocaine therapy and see what happened.
oh my gord ...and thats legal?
