Friend of a friend was in some PTSD study that involved MDMA.

I had never considered that one, but it does also appear to have Sigma Receptor activity. Specifically, it appears to over-activate Sigma-1 Receptors at recreational doses (In that reversing this action seems to decrease the drug's side effects), meaning it would likely activate them at realistic levels at the therapeutic (lower) dose. I'm definitely thinking some sort of interplay between Sigma-1 receptor agonism and increases in monoamine transmission (Dopamine, Serotonin, etc.) are the main causes for the therapeutic effects of these drugs at this point. I suspect a combination of Dextromethorphan and small amounts of Hyperforin (Found in St. John's Wart) might be adequate OTC treatments for both PTSD and Depression. Only small amounts of the Hyperforin would be recommended, as too much Serotonin transmission causes Serotonin Syndrome.

Hopefully the MDMA and Ketamine trials work out as well, as they would likely be stronger treatments when combined with the usual therapy.

So I honked and gave a thumbs up to several groups of pro-education protestors on the way home from work.

Then it occurred to me to ask "what kind of society needs to protest in favor of education?"

In a far away country my physical body happens to reside in, the media has been attacking a certain celebrity for their methamphetamine (read: pervitin) use for weeks now. Bringing such a topic to a public discourse gets my cockroach-senses tingling. How long do I have to flee the country?

If it's the country I'm thinking of, you should point out to your co-nationalists that an awful lot of Soviets were killed by dudes on pervitin.  Taking it is practically patriotic.

Nationalism on meth, what could possibly go wrong  :lulz:

And with all the hippies upgrading their toy drugs, they'd have lot more people to lure into the carnage.

So, it turns out the penalty for breaking and entering into someone's flat is...a written warning.

At least it is apparently the case...I don't know because no-one has actually officially told me.  I had to rely on my co-worker to pass on the gossip.
