Summary: Listen to the VetStory Podcast to hear veteran SGT(R) Jonathan Lubecky and Brad Burge of MAPS share perspectives and clinical data on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy as a treatment for PTSD.
Originally appearing here.
Recently, CBS News reported that MDMA (the active ingredient in the club drug Ecstasy) showed incredible results as a treatment for PTSD.
According to ongoing research being done by the Multi-Disciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, MDMA assisted psychotherapy sessions eliminated PTSD in 68 percent of vets treated and significantly reduced in 32 percent.
Last Spring, we met a veteran who was part of these clinical trials, and he shared his experience on the podcast VetStory.
