Hello! I'm a current participant in the Boulder MDMA assisted psychotherapy for PTSD study and I just wanted to say how eternally grateful I am for this opportunity. The therapists and doctors are some of the most caring and thoughtful people I've met in my life.

My question is regarding the treatment protocol for this study in the next phase- have you considered allowing the use of cannabis during the comedown from the MDMA session and during the few days following treatment in order to ease the reduction of dopamine and serotonin and the associated anxiety and sleep disturbances in some people?

Sounds legit.

I'm super happy that you experienced that kind of relief.

I'm a participant in one of the studies and personally I think the biggest thing you can do is talk about it. Share it with your family and friends, with the internet, with the world. The taboo around psychedelics due to misinformation is what is really keeping them down.

As someone with PTSD, I have to recommend ear plugs. This may seem silly, but you can get soft ones that are very comfortable and have a lower decibel rating so you can still hear talking around you.

I limit use of the ear plugs to situations that become overwhelming. Daily use will actually make your brain more sensitive to small noises. So it's more of a form of damage control - but they're very helpful for that.
