The FDA and DEA has granted permission for MAPS to use MDMA, to treat PTSD and other mental health disorders in the near future.

So far an 83% success rate shows that MDMA has cured PTSD permanently.

By 2020, MDMA, assisted psychotherapy may be available as a prescription medicine. It will only be used inside a clinical setting.

What is MAPS?
Maps, was Founded in 1986, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a nonprofit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana.

Here is a patient who participated in this study. She explains what her experience was like:




Here is where the same participant underwent the therapy:


What are your thoughts and opinions about this study?

I think it's very promising and the results speak for themselves. I'm really excited about this.
Though two things:
I would be curious to see how the people who have been treated will look like on long term.
Also I hope they will use it also to treat other mental disorders, I believe it would be effective in other cases as well.

Still, not sure when will this be actually accessible...for example in Europe.

But I love that there is more and more talking about this. There is also this movie/ documentary about MDMA treatments and generally about the effects (not finished yet, but the previews seem interesting): MDMA The Movie
Thanks for this!

Scientific research has proven that pharmaceutical MDMA, is safe for human consumption.
It does not create holes in the brain.

Plus, the people who have participated and have been cured from their PTSD,
do not get addicted to this powerfully curative medication.

Also, once they are cured, they no longer have the need to continue mdma treatment.

Lastly, they already initiated MDMA therapy for other mental health disorders.
Such as treatment resistant depression that have not responded well with all common medication.
Treatment with patients with terminal cancer who show great anxiety.
Even for Autism.

The future looks very promising...
Treating PTSD with MDMA assisted psychotherapy...
Thanks for this!

Also, the woman, Rachel Hope, who participated no longer qualifies for another treatment after a year or more after her last MDMA treatment.
She no longer fit in the scale of having PTSD.
Also, even her irritable bowel syndrome has been cured!

I believe that there are clinical studies in the UK.
Not only in the USA.
