MDMA is famous. If you're out there, you might know it by different names, and understand the legal complications if you're found with this in any country.
This book goes into the history of psychedelic with focus on MDMA, and also builds a case for its use in medical practices, specially in case of psychology. The drug has a chemical history, and later how it was used for the mind altering effects that made it popular among the young generation, and the drug traffickers equally.
And this is where the lines got blurred when a potential drug which could have helped people with trauma and other psycological issues, ended up being used as a drug in black market which makes you happy. Charging the authorities for banning it is not very good argument when the usage was not what it was intended to be. Of course, the authorities took the easy way out of banning, and literally putting a blocker for better informed studies, it can't be called all wrong.
It may get approved for medicinal purposes but that doesn't ensure that the abuse of this drug will not follow. And to get this right, it is important to get it presented not as an entertainer/panacea but a controlled drug which can be administered by a trained therapist under controlled conditions.
Also, just stop saying that it makes you feel love. Anybody who need a drug to feel that is not looking for love.
Peace
