This book was fantastic! So well written and well researched. I learned a TON from it. Nuwer really did her homework and presented all the information in an engaging, thorough, and thoughtful way. The book covered a lot of ground, I was surprised by what a huge timespan it covered. I don't feel like any information was missing or questions were left unanswered.
The research around MDMA is so intriguing and it's exciting to consider all the potential for good it has if our society chooses to make it accessible to more humans. It was also absolutely wild to learn about all the ways government has both 1) used it for malicious purposes in their own CIA and Army research and 2) suppressed research on it and done everything possible to criminalize it and keep it away from the people when it could help and heal so many.
