This seems like a bad take. Are you going to tell me ibuprofen is worthless because it doesn't fix the underlying issue? No, it's a tool. Nobody is saying you

This seems like a bad take. Are you going to tell me ibuprofen is worthless because it doesn't fix the underlying issue? No, it's a tool. Nobody is saying you should take casual MDMA to discuss every day solutions. But it does highlight the power of allowing people to express things that they might otherwise have difficulty expressing. And maybe you learn something about your partner in the process. This is why it's a powerful therapeutic tool. People with PTSD can talk through their most troubled experiences and lift that weight from their shoulders. Something they may be incapable of doing in a sober context. In that sense, it's not just "anesthetizing" as you so lovingly put it, there is therapeutic value beyond a a momentary high.
