In 2012, psychologist Michael Mithoefer discovered that even a single dose28 of MDMA can reduce or cure post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in survivors of child abuse, sexual abuse, and combat. “It was completely cathartic,” reported an Army ranger who suffered a broken back and severe head trauma in Iraq. “The next day [after just one session] the nightmares were gone. I was glowing and extroverted for the first time since getting blown up. MDMA gave me my life back.”
