  1. No kids this does not mean that Ebeneezer is your friend and can't harm you, it means that it may help a few very damaged people therefore the risk is justified. "Preclinical and clinical studies indicate that 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; ‘ecstasy’), in addition to having abuse potential, may elicit acute and persistent abnormalities of varying severity at the central level. Importantly, neurotoxic effects of MDMA have been demonstrated in experimental animals." Costa G, Gołembiowska K. Neurotoxicity of MDMA: Main effects and mechanisms. Exp Neurol. 2022 Jan;347:113894.

  2.  @saltyaussie7702  I think you missed the point, the kids will take it as a licence to abuse E for hedonistic reasons, whereas this treatment protocol is very limited and controlled scenarios with otherwise very unwell adults. And either way MDMA is still a toxin so the old rule applies dosis sola facit venenum.
