Reason: Enlisting Marijuana and MDMA to Fight PTSD

Summary: Reason speaks with veteran and MDMA-assisted psychotherapy study participant Nigel McCourry about overcoming PTSD, depression, and addiction in a clinical trial conducted by MAPS. “Before the MDMA therapy, I really had this sense of self-hatred,” explains McCourry. “I had this war inside of me that would flare up without warning.” McCourry says that after the MDMA-assisted psychotherapy sessions a “huge healing event had taken place.”
