'The Independent' reports that federal health advisers are
considering a first-ever approval of MDMA, a psychedelic
drug, to treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The news comes after decades of
psychedelic advocates urging regulators
to give the drug medical acceptance. .
On June 4, the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) called on a group of outside experts
to review the latest MDMA research. .
The research suggests that when the drug is paired with talk therapy, it can help alleviate PTSD. .
However, regulators at the FDA have questioned the
reliability of the data, as well as the potential safety risks,
which include possible heart problems and addiction.
FDA approval could open the door for federal
approval to be granted as soon as this summer. .
Approval would make MDMA, often referred to as
ecstasy or molly, the first illegal psychedelic
to receive approval for mainstream medicine. .
'The Independent' reports that a number of
psychedelics are expected to receive FDA
reviews in the coming years amid interest in their
potential to treat depression, anxiety and addiction.
