A little patience does a jaded reader good, Amy. ;) I also appreciate the article's discussion of MDMA's potential to benefit those dealing with <a href="http://maps.org/research/mdmaplan.html">post-traumatic stress</a>. I have a friend who's wife was dealing with severe PTSD after surviving a cessna crash in which everyone else on the plane died, and it was MDMA that pulled her out her post-traumatic mindframe. PS: I love that the article quotes someone as saying her friends thought she was "harshing their mellow." That's one of my favorite phrases, and I probably overuse it.
