MDMA - a love potion - comes within 5 years, says the anthropologist

The world may take a dystopian turn as MDMA -based 'love potions' c ould become available in the next 5 years!! :)  According to Metro , these love drugs could help shed light on the spark of romance that new couples need to start or even breathe life into a fading relationship.  The drink could be based on oxytocin , a ‘ cuddling hormone’ produced in moments of love and intimacy, or even small doses of the drug ecstasy MDMA. Dr. Anna Machin, an evolutionary a nthropologist at Oxford University , said  "We now know enough about the chemistry of the human brain to develop drugs that evoke the same feelings as love ." She also pointed out the ethical dilemmas posed by a drug that could affect the human brain in such a drastic way as love . Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Machin suggested that love drugs could become available in the next three to five years.

MDMA MAY NOT CAUSE COMEDOWNS, ACCORDING TO NEW STUDY

words by: Aneesa Ahmed  MDMA may not be the cause of your " Blue Mondays " after all, according to a new clinical trial.

It instead claims that several of those who took part claimed that their mood went up and reported that they felt no inclination to use recreational MDMA .  As written in their abstract, the researchers: "aimed to evaluate the evidence basis for the negative side effects associated with MDMA as well as inform our understanding of the drug's post-acute effects in a clinical context with an open-label study."

MDMA can be consumed without 'days after'

New research shows that by properly using MDMA, it is possible to avoid that exhausted and unhelpful feeling after partying. Dr. Ben Sessa, a Bristol psychiatrist, is currently undergoing MDMA psychotherapy and research. He argues that the use of MDMA for medical purposes did not record cases of typical mood drop and drop of motivation, as in recreational use, but a hangover prescribed as lack of sleep, high volume of movement and negligent drug use, while MDMA alone does not seem to leave such consequences. Dr. Ben Sessa claims that his patients treated for alcoholism use MDMA properly and in controlled doses where they talk about the occurrence of "afterglow" instead of partisans known as "the day after.
