Ok...? Why would you start debating MDMA legality when someone's sharing their story?

Also, all the studies you linked are about using it in therapy vs using it at a rave?

presumably because OP was traumatised by this interaction with law enforcement that - had things been only subtly different - could have been a catastrophic event in their life.

there wasn’t a moral crime here - MDMA is widely regarded to be.. safe (please don’t bite on that, i mean to say that current research indicates that it’s probably less dangerous than alcohol). so why should that have been so traumatic?
