It's still a proposed trial in my books until its finished....
The effect of the placebo wouldn't fly here, you get bad enough drop outs from long term clinical trials from drugs with sutble actions, you give someone expected MDMA nothing, and they're gonna known.
My point from the begining has been that short term psychoactive drug treatment doesn't help people realise anything, or if it does, they could realise them if they just sat down and gave some time to thinking about it... AND that drugs in reality probably hamper the reaching of solid conclusions because your brain is so messed up.

I can totally appriciate that angle, and I would probably say that if our positions were reversed. Its a nice arguement, and one (right now at least) that I can't think of a sound rebutale to, BUT, I still feel, in my gut, that a natural experience is going to be 'better' -somehow.wouldn't consider "synthetic joy" any better or worse than natural stimuli, in the end, all it boils down to is a release of chemicals in the brain caused by some event
