17. What does PTSD and club kiddies have to do with one another?

Mon Nov 26, 2012, 02:14 AM

Nov 2012

This article talks about the therapeutic value of MDMA for help with treatment-resistant PTSD. There are very few effective treatments and people with PTSD are at high risk for suicide.

Please don't diminish the value of this research by equating it with what went on 30 years ago in a club somewhere.

The ecological issues are, of course, important.

But you have really missed the point here.
