MDMA could repair bad relationships in romantic relationships

The pandemic has put love relationships under significant pressure as couples grapple with new difficulties, i.e. lack of privacy. Too much togetherness, lack of personal space and the inability to do normal activities, such as going to the gym, are cited as reasons that lead to problems in relationships. A website that provides legal documents has reported a 34 percent increase in divorce contract sales during the pandemic, compared to the same time period last year. Recent research by Dr. Brian Earp , titled Psychedelic Moral Enhancements, recalls MDMA being used in couples therapy in the 1980s. Is the time right to revive this study? Yale University's Earp writes:  "In the 1980s, before it was outlawed, MDMA —popularly known as ' ecstasy ' for the euphoric feeling it can produce"—was used by professional counselors as an aid to couples therapy." Writing in in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs in 1998, George Greer and Requa Tolbert described a method

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. According to The Independent, Dr. Machin compared a possible oxytocin-based love drug to

The Croatian Ministry of Health has banned the use of “gas for laughing”

The Ministry of Health has banned gas used by tourists in Pag on a massive drug charge. The ban is temporary and is valid until the end of the season, that is, until September 30.  For years, ampoules of nitrous oxide on Zrche have been popular . Discarded gas ampoules that can be used legally in Croatia can be found everywhere. It is a gas that can be found in medicine as an anesthetic and in catering as a propellant for whipped cream. In addition to euphoria , nitrous oxide can cause mild hallucinations, and overuse increases the risk of fainting. It can also cause vomiting , headache or drowsiness . Combined with excessive amounts of alcohol or drugs can cause more serious consequences. While not illegal, for example, there are several laws in the U.S. regarding the distribution of nitric oxide to minors and recreational inhalers. Nitrogen oxide (which is extremely popular with young British) has long been debated in the UK, but in the end the court wo
