I just also want to note that there are also people who have experienced negative reactions with just one night of MDMA. All drugs have side effects.
While I think MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is extremely promising, MDMA itself is definitely not risk free (especially when obtained from unregulated and adulterated sources); and various complications can and do occur.
Thanks Jim! Let me know if there's anything I can do to make things easier for the NGOs!
Some days, I still wake up and I'm a little bit astonished about the impact that my bitcoins can have. I certainly would've never predicted this when I first got into bitcoin.
Thanks for your donation! (that will be matched :)
The Phase 2 trials and FDA's breakthrough therapy designation along shows strong medical value of MDMA, especially in a clinical context with psychotherapy sessions and a trained therapist.
I hope this starts a renaissance in the use of psychedelics to treat, long term (with short term drug applications), many mental conditions.
I'm glad to hear about your life changing experience! MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, as done by MAPS, involves 12 therapy sessions along with 3 MDMA-assisted therapy sessions; as such, I expect the results to be stronger than MDMA under party circumstances.
The Phase 2 trials have showed that 63% no longer meets the criteria of PTSD 2 months after the last MDMA session, as compared to 25% for the placebo.
As for how long your results may last, another study conducted by MAPS after 2.5 years found that the effects have generally still persisted.
Hi, creator of the Pineapple Fund here (pineapplefund.org/verification.txt)
I am actually quite sad to see the current state of the cryptocurrency community, and how people in it these days widely misrepresent the risk and intricacies of bitcoin/crypto.
When I first got into bitcoin, most people were there because they were fascinated in building a decentralized currency. Profit seeking was always a part, but not the predominant part.
I'm a little bit sad to see where crypto is today. But I think the original faction is still alive.
