known as MDMA, was invented by Merck in 1912. ... MDMA increases the amounts of
serotonin being distributed, therefore leaving the average person with
minimal appetite, increased energy and a carefree attitude. ... By 1985 non-medical and
therapeutic use of MDMA were made illegal. ... Charles
Grob, after it became clear to him and others, that only through FDA
approved research would MDMA ever become legal again. ... In 1992 the first FDA approved research
with MDMA was approved under his direction. ... MDMA promotes feelings of
peacefulness and acceptance that enable people to move through denial
and defense in order to respond clearly to difficult realities and to experience
complex emotions” (Bruetbart, 1998). Statements such as that cause me to
question why pure MDMA remains banned, in cases where the patent is
terminally ill.
Research on MDMA is still inconclusive, as to whether the drug is
safe or not. ... MDMA may cause disturbances in sleep, mood,
appetite, aggression, and sexual regulation. ... 3
difficulties were related to his MDMA use but also recognized that other
factors my be involved” (Bruetbart, 1998).
