aah research impeded by morality police, understand now, thanks

  That may not necessarily be the reason. It could simply be until recently nobody believed there could be positive medical uses for MDMA specifically. Not all recreational drugs have legitimate medical uses, or are better than existing medically prescribed drugs. After our current opioid crisis, it's not unreasonable to assume research on opioid medical usage will decline or stop - outside what has already been studied, for example.

    No, the war on drugs was definitely the reason, and it was stated as such at the time. They were doing PTSD research with veterans in the 70s and the feds shut it down even though it was clearly promising.

    Hah. People have believed in this for some time. MAPS has been around for a while. What you mean is, not the right people, and now we are back to morality policing.
