Pål-Ørjan an Teri Krebs, you are doing some very interesting research, and I am worried that your activism will hurt your reputation and your chances to expand your research. Even though the academic world is boring and stiff, it’s still there in my opinion that you have the biggest chances of creating a long lasting change, in for example the medical usage of mdma and hallucinogenics.

What are your thoughts about this?

A few questions about mdma if you’re still answering:

I haven’t found much research about low dose mdma (like 40mg), taken over a longer timeframe as a supplement to therapy. Do you know any studies/trials about this? From what I’ve read you want the client to achieve the “therapeutic sweetspot” that’s achieved during the MDMA “high”-period, and using less would not have this effect.

I also haven’t found much information about dissociative identity disorder and mdma treatment. Some cases have hinted about DID being present but there aren’t any specific info about this on MAPS what I’ve found, I’m interesting if there’s any precautions of differences in treating a patient with DID and PTSD rather than just PTSD.

But don’t you see the danger here, that you are associating two inherently different things, the medical and recreational use of drugs. Now anyone in Norway who wants to study the effects of MDMA on PTSD, will be associated with your pro-legalization stance. This might drive away both researchers and donators.
