That's... Disturbing. I'm surprised I didn't hear about this before.

Honestly, fuck those people.

me too i was going to sign up for this but now im really afraid now.

damn i was really looking forward to MDMA therapy to deal with PTSD stuff

there needs to be harsh consequences and strong regulation. make sure people are going to trained and licensed practioners who will agree to recorded footage.

If you were seriously considering signing up for the study, I encourage you to contact the investigators who are running the study and/or MAPS and voice your concerns.

Not only would it help them understand what concerns prospective study participants have, but they may be able to answer your concerns to your satisfaction.

Consider doing the drug solo or at a party with trusted friends first and then trying integration therapy. The truth is most professional (ideally accredited, so shit like this doesn't happen) facilitators aren't going to give you the stuff themselves because they aren't licensed to.

I think that's about to radically change in Canada without a lot of radical change in who gets to be a therapist or counsellor and that's pretty troubling, but so are a lot of really weird oversights in that country
