is one of the world’s most infamous
recreational drugs and also one of its
most fascinating judging by the smell
alone I’m gonna say this is probably
MDMA welcome to watchmojo.com it we’re
counting down the most interesting facts
you probably didn’t know about ecstasy
the world’s favorite party drug
don’t confuse facts with endorsements
though calm down are you like on
everything baby simple number five
MDMA was once unofficially used in
psychotherapy if you want to have a
deeper peace your self and where you
came from and those people around you
therapy will help you get that before
MDMA was made illegal it was becoming
fairly common did you know that you
could one to buy ecstasy over the phone
with a credit card and pay taxes on it
one company even sprang up that was
allegedly selling MDMA as part of a
pyramid scheme it’s not a pyramid scheme
it is a it’s not even a scheme per se it
was also making its rounds in therapy
circles in the late 1970’s and early
1980s
despite its less than official approach
as the drug was never approved by the
FDA one therapist was so enamored with
MDMA that he introduced the drug to over
4,000 colleagues with many of them
praising the drug for its fast and
efficient results in their patients
despite its promising potential the drug
was scheduled to class one narcotic in
1985 making it very illegal war on drugs
the war that we have to win and a war
that we can win number for ecstasy could
help cure PTSD
study suggests that MDMA administered in
a therapeutic setting to individuals
with post-traumatic stress disorder can
dramatically lessen their fear responses
giving psychotherapists a critical
window in which to help their patients
what we’ve learned is that MDMA reduces
activity in the amygdala where
fear-based emotions are processed in one
study participants were given a
combination of MDMA and therapy and the
results found that 80% of the trial
group no longer met the criteria for
PTSD while only 25% of the participants
in the placebo group reached the same
results while there have been multiple
studies with similar results more
research is needed before policy can be
changed some in the medical community
say that there is a reamer geing
paradigm of psychedelic medicine so that
research just might come to fruition for
me I know without a doubt that MDMA
saved my life number three MDMA is
deadlier in warm cramped conditions the
opposite of therapeutic use might just
be recreational use and the typical
conditions in which it’s used as a party
drug actually make a deadlier a 2014
study by the National Institute on Drug
Abuse provided MDMA to rats and found it
to be non-fatal and cool open spaces
whereas it proved far deadlier and
warmer more crowded locations this is
because the drug increases brain and
body temperature while limiting the
body’s ability to cool itself meaning
that hot location will exacerbate the
body’s warmer temperature and cause the
brain to overheat
[Music]
it wasn’t just a matter of overdosing
either even some rats that received low
to moderate doses died from excessive
heat number 2 MDMA is associated with
higher risks of depression in teenagers
a 5-year study conducted at the
University of Montreal showed that those
who used speed or ecstasy at 15 or 16
years old were at a significantly higher
risk of suffering from depression than
those who remained clean those students
who used ecstasy were 1.6 times more
likely to be depressed the following
year this likely is something to do with
the fact that MDMA works by releasing a
flood of fuel good chemicals into the
brain which leads to an unnatural and
dangerous depletion after the drug wears
off the study’s authors admit that their
research had its limitations including
the fact that they couldn’t test for
sure what was in the drugs taken which
is significant because number one
ecstasy pills are rarely pure MDMA I’m
on drugs
according to statistics released by
Health Canada in 2001 69% of confiscated
ecstasy pills or capsules contained pure
MDMA and only six years later that
number had dropped dramatically to only
3 percent what we’re looking for is a
straight to black fizzle straight to
black indicates MDMA any other reaction
means that this is not MDMA the pills
may be mixed with stimulants like
methamphetamine or caffeine random
unknown research chemicals or even other
illegal drugs like bath salts at least
this seems to be the case in North
America or was in recent years while in
the UK they are having the opposite
problem a single MDMA pill can contain
up to four times the standard dose
leading to a string of overdoses with
drugs shipping all over the world thanks
to sales on the dark web there’s no
telling where your pal Molly came from
or what sinner
it’s got bit of opium in it heroin
crunched-up AIDS
Clorox method I’m sorry Tex morphine
peyote
so what do you think should MDMA be made
available to psychotherapists for more
