MDMA Study Withdrawn

So it seems that Science has withdrawn that hysterical study on Ecstasy that found that a single dose of the drug could cause permanent damage. The study's author, Johns Hopkins University Professor George Ricaurte receives a lot of money from NIDA, and his study was conveniently delivered to Congress when the Judiciary Committee was considering the Anti-Rave Act. That bill, which punishes organizers of events where certain drug use occurs, has no place in a free society.
