[FRIAM] proven COVID treatment

[Prof David West]

As Nick and Marcus noted, I was trolling / teasing with this post. MDMA, aka Molly and Ecstacy is a mood altering, mildly psychogenic party drug. Illegal, even in Europe, but there is is not prosecuted much.

Can't say how the drug affects the body's multiple systems because next to zero research is being done — is is frowned upon research like all psychedelics.

My friends' experience was interesting but anecdotal and probably coincidental.

The desired effects include altered sensations, increased energy, empathy, as well as pleasure. When taken by mouth, effects begin in 30 to 45 minutes and last 3 to 6 hours.
