Getting the FDA Hooked on Ecstasy
An advocate of psychedelic drugs is doing something that Ken Kesey and Timothy Leary thought unthinkable: cooperating with government bureaucrats.
Rick Doblin and his colleagues at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) have put together the first FDA-approved human study in 16 years using Ecstasy (MDMA) as a therapy aide.
It's the first step on a path that Doblin hopes will lead to making certain hallucinogens legal for the treatment of psychological disorders.
