5. Challenged research validity Pressured science journals to retract Lykos-funded MDMA studies
6. Criticized patient advocates Targeted trial participants who shared positive therapy experiences online

why?
even though MDMA is the real technical name (and Molly + Ecstasy are nicknames), the name "Ecstasy" is kinda misleading because it's usually MDMA mixed with other stuff, and that's not always good...
the name "Molly" has a pure vibe to it. It's like a warm hug from a friend.
Dr. Andrew Huberman said in his video that MDMA is not actually ecstastic, rather it produce warm feelings and promote inner acceptance and peaceful connections with others.

Shopify let me down big time today
Shopify's latest act has me rethinking their platform. Here’s the breakdown:1/ Shopify Plan Change Trap: Switched from Shopify's Advanced to Basic plan post a 3-month trial. Picked the $39 option, the page clearly showed the $299-260=$30. I even saw the plan changed to $39 and showed up successfully. BUT my card got slammed with $299.
