Description

The story of MDMA, a psychedelic drug once vilified as a Schedule I substance, is one of controversy and promise. Science journalist Rachel Nuwer separates fact from fantasy in this account of the drug's contested history and evolving future.

Scientific trials suggest that, properly administered, MDMA can be startlingly effective at relieving the effects of trauma. Other studies point to its usefulness for treating depression, alcohol addiction, and eating disorders, as well as for cultivating personal growth. Yet scientists are still racing to discover how MDMA achieves these outcomes, a mystery that is taking them into the inner recesses of the brain and the deep history of evolution.

With its power to dismantle psychological defenses and induce feelings of empathy, self-compassion, and love, MDMA may hold the key to profound questions about how we became human, and how to heal our broken social bonds.
