The research tracked the psychological responses of more than 650 survivors from the festival. Two-thirds of these were under the influence of recreational drugs including MDMA, LSD, marijuana or psilocybin - the compound found in hallucinogenic mushrooms - before the attacks took place.
"MDMA, and especially MDMA that was not mixed with anything else, was the most protective," the study has found, according to Prof Salomon.
He said those on MDMA during the attack appeared to cope much better mentally in the first five months afterwards, when a lot of processing takes place.
Caveat, the work hasn't been peer reviewed yet. Interesting that enough people were high to even be able to carry out this study.

"They were sleeping better, had less mental distress - they were doing better than people who didn't take any substance," he said.
Well, that's what I would figure. I'm not sure how itwouldn't be of use in such a situation.
Countries that have rejected it include the US, where the Food and Drug Administration cited concerns about the design of the studies, that the treatment may not offer long-lasting benefits, and about the potential risk for heart problems, injury and abuse.
Scientists advertedly discover and syntheize compounds that target our psychology that are often largely available from, or derived from nature. Not a surprise that the FDA is uninterested with the threat of competitive (safer and more effective) treatment to the current pharmacology.
MDMA is classified as a Class A drug in the UK, and has been linked to liver, kidney and heart problems.
Basically, MDMA is just going to make everyone happy and able to process anything more easily. If people were not sneaking a dose of it where it's tolerated and if people could feel at ease about their own psychological therapy, they would be more aware of the physiology (dehydration and kidney failure through hyponatremia.)

Psilocybin micro dosing has long been used to treat PTSD brought on by traumatic brain injuries for wartime veterans. Also for athletes suffering from CTE. Studies indicate it helps the brain to heal from trauma.
