PTSD Treatment
I think it's great that there is alternative research for PTSD treatment. Here's a thought, since your trying to increase Oxytocin the hormone that helps regulate stress and increases well being, why not just take Oxytocin. There's a great sublingual drop oxytocin supplement I've been using for more than 9 months. It really helps reduce my stress reactions and triggers and there is not a single negative side effect.

Can't do it. won't do it.
Because they want you addicted. The same discussion has been held about pot smoking.

That's not the same
MDMA triggers the patient's brain to release its own serotinin and oxytocin, precisely in the places where it needs to be to create its inhibition-lowering effects.

Same argument as pot.
If what you are saying is true than most pill form anti-depressents should be banned as useless. Very few of them act at the source as you say.

Anti-depressants do no better than placebos in controlled studies, and they have serious side effects. But they make lots of money for the drug companies, and the FDA is in their pocket, so they're allowed to be sold.

Please be more accurate in your reporting
You imply medical uses were discovered for marijuana after it was banned; this is not true. Marijuana has been used as a freely-available medicine for thousands of years. That is precisely *why* it was banned.

MDMA
I think I read about MDMA or similar used in couples therapy before it became a party drug. One of the effects is that people become more empathetic, they are more open to understanding how someone else feels. If MDMA can help reduce PTSD effects on the majority of patients then it should be allowed as a clinical drug.

Who is behind the "war on drugs"
The difficulty in arranging trials with illegal recreational drugs, as well as their unavailability for genuine therapeutic use is really just collateral damage from the so-called "war on drugs". It's not a war on all the latest, often quite dangerous legal "designer" pharmaceuticals.
Any health professional will tell you that drug abuse is a health problem and shouldn't be treated as a criminal matter, but allied against the voices of reason are - big pharma, companies that sell alcoholic beverages, the tobacco industry, for profit prisons, law enforcement agencies and every conservative politician that would press voters' buttons to get elected. They all depend on there being a drug problem. Geez! Not much chance of the drug problem going away soon!
