I'm really sceptical about the idea of treating people with mental heal issues with MDMA, as the "comedown" from it can be horrendous and causes a period low mood, depression, fatigue, anxiety, etc. Not the kind of thing you want people with PTSD experiencing! Those side effects are of course dose dependant. There is no mention of what is considered a dose, but it no uncommon for people to take a gram or more recreationally over the course of an evening.

- digitallis42 2y agoFor a small therapeutic dose of 150mg (1.5-2mg/kg) the come-down is minimal and presents more as "fragile" and not "depressed". That beautiful sunset really hits you to the core. Wow, there's a lot of negative energy in this airport. I'm glad it's proposed as a therapy aid. Both during and after a journey having a scribe and guide seem like it would lead to many breakthroughs.
