This will be in a clinical setting, likely a low dose (so not sure if one would actually get "high" from it, certainly not dancing and glowsticks), and it won't be cut with lord knows what.

It may or may not work, but if there's a chance it helps those with PTSD recover it's worth pursuing.

This seems like a terrible idea. It would make me feel good for a while, but after coming down off of it I would always sink into a deep, deep depression-like state. I imagine this reaction would only be worse in someone with PTSD. What do they do once popping ecstasy no longer gives them the high?




i really doubt the therapeutic levels / administration would be the same as taking dips of molly or eating a roll

You can definitely find pills cut with low grade speed. Not sure about crystal meth. The reason pills are cut with other substances is to save money.... I don't think lacing a pill with meth is cost effective.

I disagree. I think it will absolutely help with the PTSD for a time, but I think this will make it even worse in the long term.


That's because you have no idea what you're talking about. The MDMA is given in small doses and accompanied with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). The MDMA helps the patient reexperience the traumatic events with full emotion/empathy and, essentially, recode the memory with a positive valence rather than a negative one.

The clinical dosages won't be the same as the dosages taken in the club scene.

The clinicians won't be walking around with a visor on carrying around a backpack full of tabs?
