It would be interesting to determine the efficacy of actual MDMA (commonly available in the 90s) vs what is referred to as 'Molly' today...
The issue is that they may or may not be actual MDMA - and the unscrupulous label general amphetamines as either molly or MDMA and people unfamiliar dont know it....
The clinical studies should, presumably, be also, setting a standard for the purity, dosage, quality etc around the tested substance...
So to go "off grid" as it were, to test this has risks..
That being said - the efficacy of any therapy session, even when the introspection and emotional response is deliberately induced, could still result in benefits.
The problem with any drugs, beit alcohol, weed, whatever - is that environment (situational and historically) play a large part in the response.
The mental state can be associative to a great degree, and as such - if one has had a tool such as MDMA in the past - but in a really poor environment, the response could be poor.
Read up on it - but never trust anything off the street to be what they claim...
Thanks samstave, yes, I am definitely looking for pointers towards something "on grid" in particular.
That being said, I am pretty sure I can find the drug, I know some people that I can trust. Preferably it would be administered by the therapist, though.
Thanks, too, for the caution. I have already found someone in my native country who is a psychologist who also does AI stuff with Tensorflow, so I trust them already. ;)
Thanks anythingnonidin - again, I am not planning to get my friend pills off the street and pull this cowboy style. I am looking for guided counselling. That being said, I have a friend who I trust, who knows his things (well, when it comes to these things, at least).
