MDMA TO BE LEGAL? | Full Story
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is progressing toward clinical legality in the United States and Canada. Clinical trials indicate that when used in a therapeutic setting, the substance proves highly effective at reducing PTSD symptoms for patients who previously had untreatable conditions, with an 83 percent success rate in recent studies. In 2013, reports showed a high suicide rate among veterans, highlighting the potential for this treatment to save thousands of lives. MDMA potentially heals PTSD by decreasing the permeability between the conscious and unconscious mind, making trapped memories more accessible for psychological processing. It also fosters a sense of calmness and empowerment, allowing the user to examine traumatic events in a less judgmental state. The substance increases the therapeutic alliance between patient and clinician, which remains a key predictor for positive treatment outcomes.
