Psychedelic drug MDMA eases PTSD symptoms in a study that paves the way for possible US approval


The psychedelic drug MDMA can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, researchers reported in a new study published Thursday.

The company sponsoring the research said it plans later this year to seek U.S. approval to market the drug, also known as ecstasy, as a PTSD treatment when combined with talk therapy.

“It’s the first innovation in PTSD treatment in more than two decades. And it’s significant because I think it will also open up other innovation,” said Amy Emerson, CEO of MAPS Public Benefit Corporation, the research sponsor.

Earlier this year, Australia became the first country to allow psychiatrists to prescribe MDMA and psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms. The drugs are gaining wider cultural acceptance in the U.S. in part because of efforts by the nonprofit advocacy group Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies.

Matthew Henry was born two months after his father was expelled from the church. He wrote the most influential Bible commentary of all time and never finished it.

In this investigative documentary, is revealed the full story of the nonconformist pastor who, born into the religious persecution of seventeenth-century England, produced eight million words of biblical exposition in a small garden study in Chester. From the Great Ejection of 1662 and the Act of Uniformity that silenced two thousand preachers, to the Glorious Revolution and the Toleration Act that opened a window of freedom, the life of Matthew Henry spans the most turbulent moments in the history of Protestant Christianity. His work shaped the preaching of George Whitefield, the hymns of Charles Wesley, the theology of Jonathan Edwards, and the sermons of Charles Spurgeon. Three hundred years later, the commentary is still read daily by millions around the world a legacy the institutional church could not preserve, but the written word did.
