30 minutes after taking the MDMA pill, Brendan questioned his actions and realized his life was missing connection.

    Kind of seems like we should dose the entire planet in MDMA for a day and just see what happens. Might be really good.

        There is no medical basis to think for a second that that would happen.

          Mhhm, yup, people already on a myriad of medications definitely won’t have any adverse reaction to MDMA and there are no medications that have negative interactions with it at all. And people with incredibly fragile mental states, the already suicidal, and people of varying different psychoses also definitely aren’t already close to being a danger to themselves and others. Oh and how can we forget all the people who absolutely don’t have unknown medical conditions that could be exacerbated by getting dosed with MDMA

          Totally safe, totally cool
