This is so sad. I thought there had been decent evidence for it's usefulness.

I'm hopeful this gets overturned. I know too many that this would benefit

At least the article ends with the emphasis of this not being the past of it

But this just proves the bogusness of the FDA. I love MDMA.

FDA definitely needs a ton of changes if they're going to continue making rulings like this.

Trying to give the benefit of the doubt here: apparently these trials have been going on since the 90s and we are just barely showing any kind of benefit? I'm not surprised they'd still be hesitant to approve it.

While true, they keep trying to keep it on schedule 1 when these trials do show medicinal value

How do they just flat out refuse when there is evidence showing that there is medicinal benefit?
