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

The world may take a dystopian turn as MDMA-based 'love potions' could 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 anthropologist 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.

According to The Independent, Dr. Machin compared a possible oxytocin-based love drug to someone drinking a glass of prosecco to build self-confidence before going out for a night out. It could also be a problem if someone got addicted to love drugs and then lost access to it because they might end up feeling even worse.

Dr Machin explained that people feel horrible after a breakup because they suffer from withdrawal symptoms from a nice hormone cocktail that their brains enjoyed while they were in love. :) 

Enjoy E ;) and MDMA :) 

just LOVE!
