Psychadelic Drugs Over the Counter?

JEFF: So does it look like MDMA is going to become something that’s used pharmaceutically?
JAG: After careful analysis, we decided that MDMA is probably the most likely of any psychedelic drug to get approved. First of all, it has a very gentle sort of pharmacological profile.
But the other reason is sort of interesting. People ask us, “Why don’t you try MDE or MDA, drugs without the same cultural connotation.” It would be easier politically. But because it was so demonized by the government in the 1980s and 1990s, there has been hundreds of millions of dollars of research done into its risks. So they’ve done all the work for us!
RU: You mentioned a comparison to Zoloft, the implication being that MDMA could be an effective anti-depressant.
JAG: The difference is that MDMA is not used on a daily basis. That’s why there’s not a profit incentive.
The R.U Sirius Show has an extremely interesting interview with scientists researching psychedelic drugs for pharmaceutical purposes.
Ten points I say.
