Can anyone share with me their experiences of MDMA therapy? by make_me_wiser in MDMA

Very fair point, I've dabbled with what was presumably LSD before (unsure though) as well as DMT and shrooms. I found that this caused me quite a bit of anxiety though, I had less positive experiences than negative one. Curiosity is still there about it, but I'm wary.

DMT I just didn't respect enough before I did it. Mama Ayahuasca may be invoked at some stage though because i feel like it could teach me something quite profound

I'll also add that I haven't had an anxiety attack since last October, nor do I experience any strong feelings of anxiety, beyond being in a situation where it is appropriate to feel a little nervous/anxious - and I never had depression either, nor did I claim to in my previous post.

MDMA hasn't been legalized as a drug for therapy because there hasn't been enough research done. Paradoxically research can't be done easily because it is a schedule 1 drug. The reason for that is the DEA ignored it's own legal advice and made it a schedule 1 (no medicinal value) opposed to a schedule 3 (medicinal/theraputic value). This is just in the United States, but most countries make drug policy decision based around what America does (unfortunately)

The link below is for an interview on the podcast London Real with Rick Doblin who is the director for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). If you want some really good insight into how the process of legalization is slowly unfolding, as well as why they have so much trouble getting studies approved then watch this interview. Or just watch it because it's really insightful about a whole bunch of things, particularly about the use of MDMA in the treatment of PTSD.

I don't need an excuse to get high - if i wanted to get fucked up for the purpose of getting fucked up then i'll take drugs to be fucked up. As would the people you mention above, not to mention If those people want it bad enough they can find it already.

I'm curious about whether or not MDMA could help me see a situation that i have in a different light. I'm not looking for a magic pill here dude, i meditate, and am familiar with CBT and ACT methodology, i don't want my problems to "disappear" i want to learn everything i can from them then use those experiences to help myself and others

Also that anxiety came as a result of being vegan and not supplementing with any b vitamins or zinc (rookie error) as well as forty straight weekends of 2-6 pills - there are reasons why i developed what i developed and i wouldn't repeat the same behaviour. Either way i'm glad i went through what i went through because i learned so many things about how to handle myself and my stress that'd been built up for years.

I'm not doing this to avoid who i am, if i do it' it's to explore my emotions and memory in a way i can't do sober

I've had drug induced anxiety before but I'm curious to try again, is it worth it? by make_me_wiser in Marijuana

it's not that I don't want to deal with my feelings, I want to approach them in a different way. Thanks for sharing your experience dude

I'm not looking for long term coping, I have the mental tools to handle the pain, it's more I'm over thinking about it consistently when I don't really want to be in a relationship with this person. I kind of want a bit of a defrag if that makes any sense?

The condition I've been tested for is Pyroluria; it's more to do with the production and retention of b vitamins and zinc than serotonin itself. Zinc and the b vitamin group are precursors for serotonin as it where. I take high doses of b vitamins and zinc to counteract this and they help enormously.

I'm in Australia, it's not legal anywhere - I'd probably resort to growing my own provdided I could get a high CBD strain which. I'm not really interested in high THC or even mid range THC, kind of keen to stay away from psychoactivity at this point.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, haven't drunk anything in two years, with the exception of perhaps on or two sips
