That stuff is wild! Its surprisingly distinctive in terms of its effects compared to mdma. Mda can make you trip as hard as LSD. Its quite psychedelic. Mdma is far less stimulating and ,believe it or not, is even more of a love drug! Its hard to pick a favorite! Mda is probably better for taking in a club environment (as long as you're modest w/ the dose so the psychedelic aspects dont overwhelm you) because its more stimmy and longer lasting. Mdma is better for chillin w/ the homies and forming deep connections :) if anyone reads this have fun and be safe ❤

I'd say for sociopaths yes. Because they are created from childhood trauma. Psychopathy is often seen as genetic, if you Google the topic. You'll find people on Quora and Reddit, who are admitted diagnosed Psychopaths, (people with ASPD often do a lot of drugs), who say all MDMA does is increase their energy/euphoria/sexual arousal, and desire to interact with others, (mostly for sex), but they all said it didn't activate the love/empathy it does for 95%+ people.

I think this is a great idea. As a teenager the few times that I did X really changed me in positive ways. Back then, I was so obsessed with heavy metal and dark, depressing music. Using this party drug and going to rave and listening to dance / pop music was groundbreaking for me to like other more positive and lighthearted music and I think those experiences helped me open up to more compassionate way of seeing myself and others. It really opens up those pathways that make you want to connect with others instead of feeling isolated and alone.

I've always had depression and it is always in the background of my mind. Some days more or less but it is always there. The one time that i took MDMA, a friend gave it to me. I didn't take a lot of it but I remember just feeling even, like a lot of mental pressure was just gone. I thought, this is what normal people must feel like all the time. I never took it after that for many of the reasons that you started in the video but it was a very surreal experience.

It's such a shame that MDMA doesn't last long - even if you redose after some hours you just get the methamphetamine-related effects but not so much the serotonergic ones. It can take months for it to be effective again. The long-acting SSRI's are okay-ish (though livesaving for me) and 'meh' for many people. I guess our brains are wired to counteract the happy neurochemicals. 🤷 Hope that there comes more research into this - it feels to me like everybody is talking about cancer, which is horrible as well of course, but things like mental health seem like not so interesting targets for pharma companies. Or maybe they do try to work on it, but we just don't have the basic research knowledge yet. Hope you are having a good day today, take care!

I like the thought of having a buffer for reliving trauma. I’m interested to know if there are there any adverse effects on thoughts of the patients…

Thank you for another excellent video. I have complex trauma, and EMDR therapy has failed and often been damaging (even the “safe” protocol). For the reasons you talk about here, I took an (underground) guided MDMA journey a few years ago, although the therapist did not follow the same protocol as MAPS. Of course, MAPS has two therapists, you stay overnight, etc. - which is rather difficult to set up when you’re doing this below the radar. My dose was not customized by body weight (I’m a lot heavier than I look, my digestion does not absorb things well, and have an redhead metabolism - we need more of some meds than other people). The therapist broke it into two doses, which I should have probably taken all at once. (Apparently she normally administered multiple substances at once, but I requested MDMA only.) I don’t think that it was sufficient to receive a therapeutic experience, and OH BOY, the comedown was so much harder than when I was a young adult. I had to use every tool I’d learned in therapy to cope with the biological crash the next morning, coupled with my disappointment at not experiencing more healing. It was certainly not the worst therapeutic experience I’ve had - that award goes to EMDR! - but I wouldn’t want to do that again. Psylocybin is a substance I tolerate better. But, if a clinically tested protocol were available to me, I MIGHT try it again. I do think that it ought to work, if the setting and dosage is correct for that person.

The first video I seen from Dr. Tracy was about the mushrooms...I love Dr. Tracy! She's opened my eyes to so much overstanding. She's a true teacher!

Love your videos; Thank you

I read about this well over ten years ago, suggested it to my mental health team, looked at me like I was insane, I don’t look so crazy now

I’ve heard wonderful things about this treatment. I will say I’m intrigued however…a bit apprehensive. I know it’s a much lower dose than what people would use to party. Way back when in my 20s I dabbled. Anytime I tried any type of hallucinogenics I always experienced a “crappy” response. Anxiety and wanting it to be over. The only time I did not experience this was when I ate a tiny amount of mushrooms. I was laughed at by my party peers. But I was affected just enough to feel the effects but not lose control. It was the best time and the last time. I finished college and moved on to a career. I had this principle that once I was a real adult party time is over. I became pregnant and a life long Mom. So even a glass of wine was controversial…only to me! 😆 Now that my youngest is almost 10…I’ve been thinking about that one time. And hearing all these stories of success. I’ve been dealing with extreme depression and PTSD from a traumatic event. My brother was murdered by my father…yes I didn’t grow up in the healthiest household. The murder didn’t happen til recently…the energy of the event has been building for decades. Moving forward has been really hard to begin with…but all those small chaotic events up to this major one has always thrown a wrench into healing. It didn’t seem to ever end. All the treatments I have been receiving has been trial and error, really. I’ve spent more time looking for treatments and meds that work more than the time of actual therapeutic healing. It’s been exhaustive.

I only ever use my phone, so I'm using the MOBILE version of the KZread app. I'm trying to copy the text for the reference source that's in the description for this video. But it's simply not allowing me to. Are you able to fix this with future videos that they can be made into blue text that can send you the linked website. I just really want to validate for myself any source material, because my mental health is still an ongoing struggle. And before discovering your channel, with all of the helpful material you've touched on for so many years now, I've only maybe watched your material from maybe as far back as 3 years. But I have been seeking mental health treatment for approx. 8 years now. I do advocate for the complete medicinal use of classic psychedelics. But it's tough that most of what I've been able to research from originates from KZread. And I do have the sense to know that "you can't believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet". So getting back on point, it becomes so difficult to bring up the subject of these promising psychedelic treatments, because of the commonplace bias people have knowing they are illegal. But even with what I've learned over the years, I try to ease people in to my opinions about this, and when I try to refer them to "brief, organized and entertaining" sources(i.e. KZread videos), I'm not taken serious because I speak on KZread sources. But I have done my research and looked elsewhere online, read some books, watch "boring" documentaries, asked the uncomfortable "taboo" questions to my doctors, therapist, case workers, etc. And with that I've learned, it still feels like I only have superficial knowledge of this subject. Even though I consider to describe myself as an "open minded sceptic", I have such a small "social circle"(more of only professionally employed support, not much of actual peers I know on a personal level). I come across too few of people I open up to on this subject, then all too quickly see and feel their close-mindedness pop up. So I may have to pull out of my broken laptop or try to set the "desktop site" setting on my phone's internet app, to try to copy and paste to read the source. I know anyone can consider me being lazy to ask about this to begin with, but I do have mental health issues, and alot of the symptoms are based around feeling irrationally lethargic. Amongst so many other issues of of symptoms from my many conditions, or even side-effects/triggers caused by so many different prescriptions I've taken over the years. I just to be taken more serious, especially when I bring up the subject of psychedelic treatments. Because as more years pass, and all of my ongoing legally allowed treatment is faing, I feel it too strong that i believe I will only ever think that this life I have now is not a life worth living.

thanks doc!

I think I have tried every anti-depression. I have tried mdma and mushrooms when I was younger. I never forgot how confident and safe I felt. I hope I’ll be able to use this in moderation under a doctor. I know it’s what will work for me.

Great video! Super accurate, and I really appreciate you using your voice as a psychiatrist to de-stimatize these entheogenic substances. Just a small nitpick- MDMA is an empathogen, not a psychedelic. The term psychedelic refers to drugs which act as 5-ht2a receptor agonists, like LSD, mushrooms, DMT, mescaline, etc. MDMA has a very distinct profile of effects compared to psychedelics- it focuses more on the sense of touch in terms of its perceptual effects, rather than focusing on visuals like psychedelics do. Besides that tiny nitpick, perfect video!

Fascinating! This will probably take ages to get approved in Austria. I think I'll take matter in my own hands.

For those of us with treatment-resistant PTSD yet at the wrong side of the pond this does give a lot of hope regardless. Thank you so much for keeping us informed, and hopeful.

Whatever America approves, EU approves shortly after. We've always been copying their research and trends. They don't seem to copy us as much though.

Somewhat related is CBD. Some think it does totally nothing, due to how diluted and weak rip offs many products on the market are. Others treat it like it's literally magical and harmless, like they treat weed in general. Truth is, potent CBD products show potential for helping with anxiety, PTSD, and perhaps even a good add-on therapy for Psychosis, amongst other issues, but also not totally harmless. It can cause potentially lethal drug-drug interactions at cytochrome P450. I myself use it a lot, and until I got familiar with dosing it, well, it really is possible to have so much of it it makes you stupid, heavy, and end up in bed just like the real thing.

Well, if you are in an absolute desperate situation. It sucks you would have to buy any psychedelics illegally. but if you can find a therapist or any therapeutic contacts that would be willing to work with said psychedelics. then you would have to take the risk if you’re that desperate. What sucks is a lot of people who are suffering can’t wait years for this type of treatment to be legalized. so if you’re desperate, some people will be willing to risk certain things.

Hi Dr. Tracey! if this gets approved, would you do these therapies? i´d be all in if you do

Dr. Ttacey, Do you have any inkling all the positives are being overstated as part of this latest and greatest thing?

Gonna be real honest MDMA is the only drug I’ve taken that’s actually helped. I haven’t done it for years. I can’t wait for a chance to have it prescribed for my PTSD

I need something like this for my PTSD. Antidepressants don't work for me and I gain a lot of weight.

Interesting that this video should crop up today. I was just thinking about how close minded I am, in the sense of being able to take in new information, or even wanting to. Not being able to, because of the fear of letting in anything negative too. I've had PTSD-C for most of my life and it has affected my ability to learn so much that I have no prospects. I want to study badly but its an exercise in futility, no matter how much I try, my self defense mechanisms click into place and I can't take anything in. I'm temping at the moment and working with someone who does Molly frequently and from what I've observed they are incredibly adept at pattern recognition and seem to absorb everything they come into contact with, being able to turn ideas and concepts on their head with very little effort. Maybe they're just intelligent but it's given me pause to consider certain things. Things that this video fall in line with, so thank you for this timely addition to your channel.

I think it could also be helpful for treating disorders such as psychopathy and narcissism as MDMA is also sometimes referred to as the empathy drug. I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Has there been any research on using it for these conditions? It is unfortunate that when the government bans a drug and places it on a list of scheduled drugs it makes it difficult for researchers to obtain approval and funding to conduct studies which could benefit people.

You're awesome. Thanks for the info.

I use it recreationally for my ptsd. It has changed my life and how I processed the trauma. I feel a lot better with my mental state.

That would be amazing!

Thanks a ton Molly! Things have really progressed since I started in 2018. Thanks for sticking around. ❤️😊

It’s the best. Whenever I’ve done it I’ve always thought how great would this be in a therapy setting. You can change your life in a good way after a night of mdma. Obviously take safety precautions

Dr Marks, Do you think that MDMA could be succesfully combined with EMDR therary?

Wow! That sounds amazing.

Yes indeed.

Given the rates of depression, stress and anxiety running rampant, the sooner we get onboard with using things like MDMA properly and selling it as a medicine, the better the whole world will be. How alcohol is so normalised and MDMA is against the law is beyond me.

This is our only hope for all us suffering from ptsd which comes along with other mental health issues when every med on the market has been ineffective

I am a recipient of MdMA PE therapy through Emory University and the Veterans Administration. ….Yes. 6/2024

To step out of the chaos for a few hours would be nice. Wonderful experience and so peaceful.

Closest thing to Heaven. Especially sharing the moment with someone else.

How do you treat PTSD best when the cause and traumatic experience is ongoing for years? I have experience with specialists that refuse treatment because the triggering factor is not over.

Can we get a link to the study about personality disorders?

Hi Dr. Tracy. I love all your videos. I even watch the ones that generally do not pertain to me. I've been living with diagnosed treatment-resistant depression for many years now. I still take an antidepressant but most days I ask myself why I'm even taking it. For my Generalized Anxiety Disorder I take 1 mg of Alprazolam 3x a day. Since I live in Florida where the lawmakers make drug decisions and NOT the doctor's or physicians I've been told it's only time before Xanax won't be prescribed much anymore. I understand the downfalls of benzo's but I've tried multiple other drugs for anxiety with ZERO results. My question to you, if you have any time to answer it (and my doctor isn't versed in psychedelics, is which drug in your opinion would have the best chance with treatment-resistant depression: Ketamine or Magic Mushrooms?

I’d really like to know which psychedelic is the best for someone with diagnosed treatment-resistant major depressive disorders. On a side note: when I was 25 years younger I took MDMA (Ecstasy) at a dance club. The only way I can describe it was like having a religious experience. It was like I became ONE with the lights and music. I tried it several other times but they turned out to probably not have MDMA in them because they were all horrible experiences. 🌴☀️🌴

i need at least 400 mg of mdma to feel "good". for the same reason i cannot tolerate SSRI or SNRI antidepressants. the serotonin level is just not high enough and i just feel feverish and "ill". the neurotoxic effects are just too high at these doses sadly.

💯 stigma free! Thank you!

How does coming down work? Because I hear as great as it makes you feel, it makes you feel just as bad or worse as it wears off.

I'm 30 years old and still struggle with trauma rooted from mid elementary to early high school. If this stuff can really shut all that up, I'm game for trying it through my psychiatrist if it becomes legal.

Hi Dr. I need a help. I'm suffering from chronic tension headaches (Adhd & anxiety/depression) for last ten years. It's there all the time. Now I understand this headache cannot be cured but can only be managed. Im unmarried and just want to know from you wheather living with a wife is feasible because headaches get severe for every thing.

Someone, i have GAD and panic disorder and taking an antidepressant names zoloft. My question is . May i take mdma for treat my panic once a time??

Hi! Can you make a video about Psilocybin mushrooms treatment for long term depression?

I interested in psychedelic assisted therapy, however which one? As a rapid cycling Bipolar (hypo/hyper leaning)..im concerned about severe manic episodes. Any insight? Thx all ✌️ ❤
