Eventually, surely, you'll come to dislike the lingering presence of former smokers again. But... This is the kind of thing MDMA can do. Controlled, of course, but it can make this kind of difference in someone's life.

I for one wish I belonged to the group of people the decision will allow MD treatment for but alas I'm in the category Psyl applies to. I only put it this way because I have experience in the former not the latter but from what I've read, regular Psyl treatment can make depression manageable so I say "yay" &;I'll have to speak to my psych soon.

I'm not an expert but basically these types of drugs makes your brain a lot more malleable plus they make you happy. The combo of both effects means that all the good experiences you have while high becomes part of you, just like some old happy memories of your childhood. It also helped me a lot in my life, especially socially. I needed drugs at first to feel comfortable going out but now I have so many happy and relaxed memories of going out with friends under the influence of mdma that I don't need drugs anymore to feel the same way. And I heard the same type of stories from many friends. I'm hopeful for the future of mental healthcare with all these news.

Story time about how MDMA helped me.

Years ago we moved into our new house that we had bought from previous smokers. We loved everything about the house. It has the right space, the perfect kitchen, cozy family room, a huge bedroom, two fully furnished bathrooms, and a bonus room. But they smoked in it. We had to replace carpet, professionally clean every every surface, repaint walls, change out windows and mirrors. It still smelled like thick smoke. We smelled like smokers. And I used to smoke way back in the day, and this was worse. On top of this they didn't take the best care of the house so thinks immediately started breaking after we moved in. Our dream home turned into a nightmare. I remember crying on the phone to friends because I couldn't stand being in my house. One of my friends gave me one pill of MDMA. Of course this was higher of a dose than what would be used medically, but it was only one dose. She told me to take it on a Saturday, drink some orange juice throughout the day and just relax. I'd never done it before so I was nervous as hell but I did it.

Fixed. My worldview of my house was completely revamped. Somehow in that day I fell in love with my house the way it was. The smoke smell was still there but I was able to look past it. I can't really explain it but I just felt so in tune with my house. The kicker was that after it ended, for the next few weeks, I still felt the same. The smoke smell didn't bother me as much, I found fun in fixing all the little broken things. I have no idea how any of that works, but it seriously helped me. Haven't done it since, haven't needed to and it's not my thing. But I'm sure a smaller dose provided medically would do the same thing and I'm glad to hear that this is happening.

Man if one day a genie come to me and said you have one wish but it can't affect you or humanity directly I would definitely choose making pets like cats or dogs have a longer life span. I would love to have my dog be with me for like 40 to 60 years. But I settle with having the best time I can with them.
