…with ecstasy…
At first, the goal was to use psychedelics to heal veterans (as indicated by MAPS’s public relations between 2005 and 2012). Then, in 2012, Doblin shifted to suggesting that psychedelics might be used to heal traumatized active-duty soldiers. Now, MAPS’s founder calls for military recruits to be dosed upon enlistment.
This latest turn was announced during a presentation Doblin gave at this year’s SXSW conference, entitled “The Future of Psychedelics: Drug Development and Policy Reform.” During this talk, Doblin discussed using MDMA to “treat people closer to the trauma.” This, he implied, could prevent soldiers from leaving the military with disabilities or being discharged. Doblin then suggested dosing new recruits with MDMA could help create more efficient soldiers. “It turns out that a lot of the people that volunteer for the military have had childhood traumas,” Doblin said. “So, it would really make more sense to do MDMA therapy as they started in the military to make them less reactive, more able to handle whatever circumstances come their way.”
