I help people cure their PTSD, anxiety, fears, traumas, etc. by treating the underlying root causes. I am also a deadhead who has been to over 200 Grateful Dead concerts. Heh, I have enjoyed a LOT of LSD. In my opinion, things like psychedelics or marijuana cannot cure PTSD. At best, they can mask the symptoms while often introducing new ones. It seems to me that we humans far too often confuse managing symptoms with solving or curing problems.

I loved the doco and it's great to see MDMA help so many people.

I think it's sad and stupid to blanket ban it when it was obviously of help to many.

Lets face it, many pharma drugs are abused and used by people to get high, so why is MDMA and LSD made totally illegal? They obviously have legitimate uses for therapy for many types of people and situations as seen in the doco.

What a legend and pioneer Sasha was.
