“I’m absolutely sure that, within ten years, psilocybin will be an accepted treatment for depression,” David Nutt, the director of the neuropsychopharmacology unit in the division of brain sciences at Imperial College London told me last month.” One key characteristic of depression is overly strengthened connections in brain circuits in certain regions of the brain…
With MDMA you may go into all the nice places in the world, have a good feeling and think everything is good, and you have solved the problem, which is not true, because the solution of the problem has to be implemented later on. Have you heard MDMA being called the love drug? Yeah, but…
“It makes sense to me that MDMA could help PTSD patients. In fact, it may have helped my former friend offload her trauma — onto me.” But people shouldn’t take this, like I did, as a reason to conduct informal therapy sessions of their own. To the contrary, the same properties that make the drug…
