"The hypothesis was that MDMA would make the negative memories less painful."

Recreational use of MDMA has given me panic attacks, increased anxiety, emotional dependence and depression. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence online that tells the same story, which is something you rarely hear anyone talk about. It seems like different people respond differently to MDMA. Perhaps it's dependent on your personality or brain chemistry. For people like me the effect on the serotonin system in the brain can be very dangerous and sometimes cause permanent damage.

I used to be very liberal towards drug use in general until I experienced the down sides first hand.

I don't want to spam this thread, but I feel I have to plug my personal pet project Related (https://github.com/sutajio/related), since it is, well.. yeah... "related" to the topic being discussed.

It can't do half of what Titan does and is a much, much simpler design. But it is fast, easy to use and works really well for 80% of the use cases you might have for a graph database on the web (social graphs, semantic web stuff, etc.)

I'm swedish and this is really not that strange. She's just an ordinary Stockholm hipster with an odd sense of humor. We got a bunch of those here. We've sort of had a tradition of that kind of very politically incorrect and absurdist humor here at least since the mid 90s. I would even go as far as to say that it is considered a bit chick in some circles to behave like that.

But I can see how an american/international audience wouldn't get the joke.

Actually, here in good 'ol socialist Sweden all of our groceries, with a few exceptions, used to look like that up until the end of the 90s. I remember as a kid eating cereals from a big white box with the word "CORNFLAKES" on it in big blue bold letters.
