#9: MDMA (Dr. Ben Sessa)
from The Dr. Junkie Show · host Dr. Ben Sessa
Molly, Ecstasy and MDMA--different names for the same drug. MDMA is no longer restricted to underground rave culture. It is finding its way to the Dr.'s office and the therapist's couch. And it appears to be an incredibly effective tool of psychotherapy. Dr. Ben Sessa has called MDMA the "antibiotic of psychotherapy." He joins me to explain why it works so well as a therapeutic tool. We discuss addiction and treatment applications, Big T versus little t trauma and their connection to self-medication, cannabis as a replacement for other drugs, and how much it costs to produce legal MDMA (spoiler alert: its a lot!)I will also cover the history of MDMA production, legality and public perception.
