I have momentous news to share with you about our most recent accomplishment. On Friday, August 27, 2010, an official from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informed Dr. Michael Mithoefer that it had approved his Schedule 1 license for MAPS' MDMA/PTSD study in veterans with PTSD.

Obtaining the DEA's approval was our final regulatory requirement. The DEA has now joined the FDA and our Independent Review Board (IRB) by determining it is in the public interest for MAPS' study of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in treating veterans of war to proceed.
The study will cost about $500,000 and take about two years, with most of the budget still to be raised. This study design is a prototype for our eventual Phase 3 multi-site studies.

Donations will enable MAPS to conduct essential research that will deepen and transform our healing partnership with all of our regulatory authorities, our veterans, and our society.
Triumphantly,
Rick

The gov could fund this study in a heart beat... talk about a hinderance. Even the Aus government blows like more then 20,000,000 per minute... .


I love how all these good things start to happen but they are all set to proceed after 2012.. when the world will be a very bad place. Unless your uber rich and have a part in it all.
 
Wow. Thats excellent news. Finally we'll start to see some good publicity for MDMA =D

I'd love it if some of the veterans included in this study were to go public with their experiences and the degree to which it has helped them.

Still a while off, but light at the end of the tunnel none the less.
 
About fucking time. Be nice if the government would fund it, but hey, it's not like they're responsible for soldiers well being...oh wait.

That said, this is still a step in the right direction.
 
perhaps if they treated the mongers of war with MDMA there might not be any veterans... this seems a far more cost-effective approach alround.
 
This is an excellent step forward for finding out more about the medicinal uses of MDMA. Hopefully they figure out that this chemical is reletively harmless and one day it can be made available.
