MDMA therapy is interesting because it's usually regarded as a "party drug" as compared to "more serious" drugs like psychedelics. But it looks like it's very useful for some types of therapy!

I had a similar experience with shrooms where I was dealing with trauma of being abused as a child through my teens years. Well I got out of that abusive household in high school but the trauma stood and I found shrooms through some friends and on Halloween his parents were out of town. We took the shrooms and about two hours later I was realizing a lot about the relationship between me and my mother and how much the divorce had fucked the whole family up and changed everyone. I started crying hysterically because I realized how much my mother still loved me and how wrong I was. I texted her immediately and told her how much I love her and I wanted this nightmare to end and she agreed wholeheartedly and we saw each other the next day, and ever since then she has had my back at the worst of times and I continue to still have the same mindset I did the day I took shrooms, I still see that perspective as clear as day. I dont think I'd be alive if it weren't for her because everybody else had given up on me when she hadn't. Sorry for the rant.

That's a very interesting story. Are you sure it was pure MDMA? A lot of "ecstacy" is cut with amphetamines or other drugs, that could've been the issue, I wonder. And then maybe your friends were just acting how they thought they were supposed to act, like when you give teenagers fake beer and they think they're drunk but they're not.

It also makes sense though that certain drugs help certain people in certain mindsets. There's no "one-size-fits-all" epiphany drug, I guess haha

Mushrooms can have healing properties too. They force you to face your demons. I learned and had a more positive impact from "bad trips" than the fun ones.

Amphetamines give a fleeting feeling of having life "figured all out."

Oh wow that sounds like a very unique situation. That might also mean there are things that are psychoactive to you that are not to others, I wonder....
