You're joking right? Chronic MDMA use, even if it's "only" 1-2 times a week, is scores of times worse for your brain than ssri's or benzos, and especially so from a 'psychological' standpoint - regular use of e can very much and very easily put people into situations of cyclical depression and actually exacerbate the symptoms that would normally be treated with the use of SSRIs. I have many a friend who have been placed under such circumstances with no easy way out..
Yes, I'm well aware that MDMA isn't a completely safe drug, I've had friends go down similar routes and used it extensively for many years myself, but I've seen people far more messed up from prescription meds. MDMA is also a psychedelic - it's inherently NOT physically addictive.
Were the FDA to approve this, I'm assuming it would be approved for circumstances similar to the test, so MDMA would be administered at a dose of 100mg with a 40mg supplement 1 hour in, and this would be repeated maybe four times a year.
Under those circumstances, I'm sorry, but anyone that thinks MDMA poses more of a risk than, say, 30mg diazepam daily, is just wrong.
The whole point of this drug is that it's not a daily or even weekly dose. There's no direct mechanism of action that is making you better, the drug is long out of your system whilst you're still reaping the positive effects. It's a psychological healing - you're doing the healing yourself, the MDMA is merely the key.
Just remember, more people end up in A&E from taking Aspirin than do from taking MDMA.
