 Around 200,000 people hit the streets of Berlin on Saturday, July 9th, for Rave The Planet, the first event of its kind in the city in more than 15 years. Photo: Gm Hammond This was a very free parade , which featured over 100 DJs and a variety of floats from d ifferent crews and collectives.  Dr. Motte, the man responsible for Berlin’s first acid house parties in the late-1980s, and the Love Parade , co-founded Rave The Planet in 2020 to bring the massive street party back to Berlin for the first time since 2010.  "What a day. Unbelievable. We brought the spirit of the Love Parade back to Berlin. We did it, and with the best intentions. We, as the non-profit Rave the Planet organisation, worked long and hard on it. We all felt the rhythm and the bass in the streets of Berlin and the music brought us together." - said Motte to DJMAG. The last official L ove Parade in Berlin was in 2006. The events stopped worldwide several years later, after 21 people died in a crush

Scientists say MDMA could help treat mental health in a post-lockdown world

 Mind Medicine Australia  has said that psychedelic drugs should be used as treatment to tackle the psychological impact of coronavirus quarantine. There’s no shortage of scientific research that proves psychedelic drugs can have a number of medical benefits. Magic mushrooms have previously been found to reduce depression and anxiety, as well as improve creativity ; LSD and DMT can trigger positive life changes ; and MDMA can reduce social anxiety and help you get over your trust issues. While Australia’s federal health minister has established new coronavirus support services, including digital and phone support, former Coalition MP (which is, confusingly, a centre-right party) and board member of Mind Medicine Australia (MMA) Andrew Robb is pushing forward a campaign to introduce MDMA and psilocybin – found in magic mushrooms – as a possible treatment. “It is potentially the most significant innovation in mental health we’ve seen in decades,” Robb told ABC. “We would be derelict

words by: Aneesa Ahmed  MDMA may not be the cause of your " Blue Mondays " after all, according to a new clinical trial. The study, titled Debunking the myth of 'Blue Mondays': No evidence of affect drop after taking clinical MDMA , tracks the moods and reactions of 14 people who were enlisted into an MDMA-assisted psychotherapy course to treat an alcohol disorder. Researchers found no drop-off following clinical MDMA use in the 14 participants. 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." They found that comedowns that are associated with recreational MDMA were not seen in their patients. Th

The event had a total of 100 attendees, as many as are currently allowed, while the club can normally accommodate 1500 to 2000 people.  The ticket price was € 70 , and as measures are relaxed, the plan is to increase the club's capacity to 250 people with much cheaper tickets.  The party was approved and held under strict measures and rules of coronavirus defense, and it looks like this:  - mandatory protective mask;  - everyone gets their circle on the dance floor, marked with chalk or artificial grass in which they can dance;  - everyone has their place at the table; physical distance 1.5 meters. In their own circle party members were able to take off their masks so that they would not endanger anyone.  Club manager Thomas Pieper told WDR that there is no profit from such events.  The goal of the party was to cover expenses and show signs of life.  This event was jus
