You know, MDMA bringing great relief of suffering through the psychologically unifying experience of love (good) but not acknowledging that same person might need a walker by the time they're 35. It's still a synthetic. Now this other African plant (I forget the name) used for addiction with great success can kill a certain small percentage with a heart attack because they are weakened, but still very promising and effective for those who can't find their way out of life/organ destruction of addictions of all kinds. Do you mean Ibogaine? Yes. Nobody's ever going to use it frivolously either. Plus there's tending to by a whole community. There's a ton of info and documentaries on YT. |

I have experienced great things on MDMA. I have read studies where they introduced MDMA to a group of veterans with ptsd, and the results were remarkable.  |

More than 6,500 suicides have occurred since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began. For every service member who dies in battle, 25 veterans die by their own hands. According to a Pentagon report, more American active service members have killed themselves in the first six months of 2012 than in the first six months of any of the previous 11 years, The Associated Press reported. The report reveals 154 service members killed themselves in the first 155 days of 2012 alone. The number of deaths by suicide is 50 percent higher than combat deaths in Afghanistan during the same period and an 18 percent increase over active service member suicides in the first six months of 2011. End prohibition, save our veterans! Totally if vets are getting non-amphetamine laced MDMA and tender support. What most military people get now are the very drugs that are known to trash their psyches even more into suicide which are of course prozac, paxil, and the rest of them still go-to despite evidence and shrill warnings. Fragment the fragmented. What a stupid f*cking society we have. |

I denounce and renounce them and any power they think they have over anyone. It appears that it would be a two tiered system. Big pharma wants money and it wants to dictate who should have it. It the police state, imagine militia, police and black ops, politicians legally taking drugs to have an absence of conscious and care. They can F right off. All drugs should be legal to begin with for citizens, but I don't want my leaders and militia taking them while employed "serving" citizens/their employers.

I agree thats why im against prohibition. Sorry to hear about your friend i had someone die over heating from MDMA. If it was legal then pure MDMA is almost harmless.

I remember MDMA being used in therapy in 1986. I've not experienced it myself, have had other types of non chemical mind expansion, but what about findings of holes in the brain developing early on in use. Were MDMA a natural product of earth's pharma I'd be more inclined to be more willing to try it. But it is a synthetic created in a lab and that for sure I don't trust. MDMA can have many of the same physical effects as other stimulants like cocaine? VIRTUALBLOGNEWS [link to virtualblognews.altervista.org] |
