Ecstacy By Prescription!
The unapologetic hippies at 10 Zen Monkeys talk to a guy from MAPS about legal psychedelic research, and how MDMA has a good chance of becoming a mainstream pharmaceutical. Except that there’s really no market for it (not taken in daily doses). Lots of other drugs are covered too, including pot, shrooms, LSD and ibogaine. (via News dugg by sean808080)
