    Does MDMA actually lead to mood drop in the days after dosing? Our new study in Journal of Psychopharmacology with clinically administered MDMA suggests this may be a myth 🧵👇

    🤔 A few weeks ago, we asked you guys to share your experience with taking MDMA for the first time. ➡️ Based on one of your responses, we developed a short checklist for benefit-harm management for MDMA users. Have you got any other tips? Stay safe and have fun!

    Agreed. It is concerning. A lot of what is stated in this article is outright untrue or misleading. Tomorrow I am delivering training to NTE staff for that looks at actual evidence around drink spiking & DFSA rather than rumour & misinformation.

    Hold the front page…

    👏🏻The evidence base is building! 10 years ago I was told in the UK was impossible/ illegal/ there was no evidence it works. Jst last week I was trolled on Twitter as “mental” & “living in a clown’s world” (tweet now deleted) for saying drug checking works. It works.
