shocked Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 BBC 3 Programme - How Drugs Work As part of the Dangerous Pleasures season, this three-part series looks at the biological process behind three of the most commonly used recreational drugs - cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy. Episode 2 “Ecstasy”, shown last night on BBC 3 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xckv8 The programme features interviews with toxicologists, neuro-scientists and medical pharmacologists who explain what actually happens in your body when you indulge, exploding a few myths in the process. With access to cutting edge research at the University of Chicago, we find out how ecstasy creates empathy in the user and how this could one day lead to the drug being used as a life-saving prescription medicine for use in therapy. Alexander Shulgin, Rick Doblin MAPS, MDMA ~PTSD and MDMA Terminal Cancer are incorporated into this documentary Next showing - BBC 3 Thursday 20 Jan 2011 Available on iplayer until 9:59PM Thu, 27 Jan 2011 shocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les genser Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ectasy; at least MDMA, WAS being used for therapeutic purposes here in the US with terrific promise in treating a variety of psych complaints. And then, along with a whole raft of other tremendously useful drugs it was banned forever as having no medical value. No medical value???? just like LSD, psylocibin and cannabis. Because obviously, prohibition worked so well at cleaning up our alcohol problem. Anyone watching the antics of our elected officials for signs of intelligence (with rare and notable exceptions, of course) is probably not surprised.
