The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), also known as ecstasy, is a 'breakthrough therapy' in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Thanks to this designation, the drug could have a faster path to pharmaceutical approval. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) announced the FDA's ruling last week, revealing that they can now move forward on two of their upcoming 'Phase 3' trials. The goal of these trials is to determine how effectively the drug can be used to treat those suffering from PTSD. The trials will include 200 to 300 participants, and the first trial will begin to accept subjects in 2018. "For the first time ever, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy will be evaluated in Phase 3 trials for possible prescription use, with MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD leading the way," said Rick Doblin, Founder and Executive Director of MAPS. The trials will be held in the U.S., Canada, and Israel, and MAPS plans to open talks with the European Medicines Agency in the hopes of expanding testing to include Europe. For now, the focus is on securing the funding they require. http://www.sciencealert.com/ecstasy-was-just-labelled-a-breakthrough-therapy-for-ptsd-by-the-fda
This has fucking liberal written all over it. Fucking Ecstasy? Really? I know why. You loony libbos will deny deny deny but I know what this is about. They're going to rush this through super quick. It's because liberals will need it to treat PTSE too. President Trump's Second Election. Haha, my whole post was a joke. I hope this stuff helps people.
My wife and I did a little ecstasy together many many years ago. Wow, it was fun! Porn star type night!
Permanent brain damage. Your serotonin receptors sensitivity is altered forever and are less efficient, will lead to depression.
For heavy usage. A lot of things are helpful (or at least not harmful) in small doses, damaging in heavy doses.
That sounds like the title of a terrible autobiographical film about a woman who has sex once with an inappropriate man, gets pregnant, loses the baby, moves to Paris, and writes poetry. barfo
