Kepha i-FDA manje inikeze isakhi se-psychoactive ku-ecstasy, i-MDMA, "isimo sokwelashwa okuphumelelayo". Manje isisesigabeni sokugcina sokuhlolwa njengendlela yokwelapha i-post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), njengoba kushiwo enkulumweni yabezindaba evela ku-Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), inhlangano engenzi nzuzo.

Akusho nje kuphela ukuthi ukwahlukaniswa okuthile kusho ukuthi i-MDMA ibilapha ngokuphumelelayo iziguli ezivivinyweni zangaphambilini, kepha futhi ukuthi isebenza kahle kangangokuba izigaba zayo zokugcina zokuhlolwa ziyashesha. Kuhle kakhulu ngomuthi wephathi, akunjalo?

"Ngokunikeza [MDMA] ukwelashwa okuphumelelayo, i-FDA ivumile ukuthi le ndlela yokwelashwa ingaba nenzuzo ezwakalayo kanye nokuthotshelwa okukhulu kunemithi etholakalayo ye-PTSD," kusho u-Amy Emerson, umqondisi omkhulu kanye nomqondisi wocwaningo lomtholampilo e-MAPS. "Sizoba nomhlangano ne-FDA ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka-2017-ukuqonda kahle ukuthi sizosebenza kanjani eduze ukuqinisekisa ukuthi iphrojekthi iyaqhubeka nokuthi lapho kutholakala khona ukusebenza kahle komugqa wesikhathi."

Futhi ucwaningo oludlule ngokusebenzisa i-MDMA-assisted psychotherapy ezigulini ezine-PTSD belulokhu luwisa imihlathi: Uma sibheka abantu abangu-107 abane-PTSD engapheli (isilinganiso seminyaka engu-17.8 yokuhlupheka umuntu ngamunye), amaphesenti angu-61 ayengasafaneleki ukuba ne-PTSD ngemva kweseshini ezintathu ze-MDMA. ukwelashwa kwengqondo okusizwayo izinyanga ezimbili kulandela ukwelashwa. Ekulandeleni kwezinyanga eziyi-12, amaphesenti angama-68 ayengasenayo i-PTSD, ngokusho kwe-MAPS. Kepha njengoba usayizi wesampula wawumncane kakhulu - futhi kunezifundo eziyisithupha kuphela, kusho ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwe-Emerson-Phase 3 ne-FDA kuyadingeka ukufakazela ukusebenza kwe-MDMA ngezinga elikhulu.

Kubalulekile ukuthi wazi ukuthi i-MDMA lezi ziguli eziyisebenzisayo ngezikhathi zazo zokwelashwa kwengqondo ayifani nezinto ozozithola ephathini. "I-MDMA esetshenziselwa izifundo ihlanzekile ngo-99.99% futhi yenziwe ngakho ilandela zonke izidingo zokulawula umuthi," kusho u-Emerson. "Iphinde iphathwe ngaphansi kweso lomtholampilo." Ngakolunye uhlangothi, "iMolly, ithengiswa ngokungemthetho futhi ingaqukatha i-MDMA encane, kanye nezinye izinto eziyingozi.

Futhi ngokungafani nokuthatha umuthi wasemgwaqweni, i-psychotherapy esizwa yi-MDMA inikezwa ngezikhathi ezintathu zedosi elilodwa le-psychotherapy ezihlukaniswe amasonto amathathu kuye kwamahlanu. Kuhlanganisa nokusekelwa komphakathi, kanye nokuzivocavoca kwengqondo nokuphefumula. Ngakho-ke yize lokhu kungalungile ukuthatha umuthi wephathi, kuyathembisa impela ngocwaningo kulabo abane-PTSD.
