It’s funny that you say that. I’ve taken MDMA once in my life, and I swear it was one of the only times my mind didn’t feel like it was trying to attack me. I felt totally calm and at ease rather than high or euphoric. I haven’t done it again because I’m paranoid about addiction, but I could absolutely see it being effective as a tool for facilitating longer-term treatments. I’d jump at an opportunity to participate in a MAPS study or something similar in a controlled environment.
MDMA is fascinatingly effective. You get some hours of pure bliss, all your fears gone and replaced by compassion.
It should absolutely be treated as something very special - it 'just works'.
Using it too often would make it loose it's magic (on a physical level too)
Then again most additions seem to happen with more subtle substances.
MDMA is a way too powerful experience to do it casually.
