"Ecstacy as Medicine" The name Ecstacy gives the impression of an addictive substance and would tend to put off many who just look at the title. But the reviewer did a great job by practically giving full details of what the book is intended to achieve which will make someone like me to consider reading it in full.

'Official Review: Ecstasy as Medicine' by Jonathan Robinson reveals the major contents of the non-fiction book. The book is a practical and detailed guide to understanding the importance and endless opportunities MDMA offers to the medical industry. This psychedelic drug provides the treatment for PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and other psychological issues. Also, this therapy is not only limited to treating mental issues but also helps finding inner peace, joy, love, and a desire to connect with others. Finally, the book breaks the controversial and negative publicity attached to psychedelics. Learning that the author acknowledges the challenges that arise from indulging in this form of therapy was great!

I'm definitely of the firm opinion against relying on drugs or, worse, psychedelics as a go-to when having issues, so I won't be the best audience to fully appreciate Jonathan Robinson's book.

When one really thinks about it, I suppose most illegal drugs have some medical use. It's abusing the drugs that leads to problems like addiction. Although I'm fortunate to not suffer from any of the conditions mentioned, it will be interesting to read about treatment using psychedelics. Thank you for your informative review.

Thank you for your informational review. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. While this isn't the book or path for me, I am glad that others can get the help that they need safely under a doctor's care. I hope others will enjoy reading this book and seeing how different options might assist them.

I have considered Ecstasy or MDMA as drugs and often abused by addicts. That it could have medicinal and psychological benefits when used under controlled environment was unimaginable to me. I hope to learn further from the book. Thanks for the review!

No matter how ridiculous it might sound, from centuries of experience, we did learn that even deadly poison could become a remedy. Take, for example, snake's venom or chemotherapy, so why not drugs? At first glance, "Trauma, Anxiety and Depression" could not look like serious enough issues, but their consequences are far fetching. Congratulations on BOTD!
