I read this weekend that there are more and more health studies using MDMA especially with respect to treating PTSD.
Half the group is given a placebo the other half is given actual MDMA.
Having tried MDMA once* in my life I can say the effects were quite amazing, fantastic, superb and mind-opening.
My question to those who study or know about placebo:
How can someone be given MDMA and "think" they are on it?
I know that with pain killers the mind is a wonderful thing, and placebo painkillers have been shown to actually decrease pain, but with something like MDMA I can't quite grasp it.
Anyone?
