That's interesting, but wasn't MDMA a prescription drug before it became popular as a recreational drug? I mean, not the only drug that's legal if prescribed by a doctor and illegal otherwise, like morphine etc.
- ada1981 8y agoMDMA was not a prescription, it just wasn’t a scheduled compound. It was originally used by therapists however before it spread into the mainstream and then it was scheduled despite the recommendation that it be scheduled to allow for medical use. There was a study cited where they accidentally used Meth vs MDMA as evidence to schedule it and then after it came out the study made a mistake, the legislation still stood. But keep in mind that most other drugs were used medicinally before they were scheduled. Cocaine, Pot, LSD, Mushrooms, etc were all legal before they were illegal. The war on drugs is a relatively new obsession.
