Not MDMA, but correlational data exists for classic psychedelics: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28443703

The public value of the anti-authoritarian sentiment as an externality of psychedelic use could be quite high, depending on what it could prevent in our future.

This seems to be based on prior usage, so causation vs correlation comes into question. And I'm not saying this at it is used on reddit, conservatives most definitely would be highly less likely to take psychedelics.

Not to say that this study is uninteresting or useless though, I think there is a lot to be learned in this area, and I would argue that it would be very much in the best interests of Democrats (if that's truly what they are, I'm not so sure) to decriminalize these sorts of studies. Personally, I happen to believe that most Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same people wearing different costumes.

Yep

> correlational data exists

Oops!!

Interesting, confirmed my bias from read of abstract.

Yes, correlation, not causation.

Presumably those on the right would be much less likely to take MDMA. (I'm sure you are not suggesting doping them without consent, since that would be unethical.)
