How MDMA Went from Club Drug to ‘Breakthrough Therapy’
It's good that people with serious issues can get some help via drugs like MDMA, but I do think people should be careful.<p>I feel that certain groups of people are a bit flippant about drug use, and seem eager to promote them as these great things.<p>As an example of why we should still remain vigilant - studies have shown MDMA users to literally have shrunken bits of their brain.
