Ecstasy to be tested on terminal cancer patients

[slamminshaun]

Interesting...

"The Food and Drug Administration has approved a pilot study looking at whether the recreational hallucinogen can help terminally ill patients lessen their fears, quell thoughts of suicide and make it easier for them to deal with loved ones."

Well, duh...anyone who's been to the Space patio could tell you it does all that.

what a silly study.

it boils down to altering the patients' perception and acceptance of reality.

just like the old phrase, "drinking your problems away"...

I don't know. Being termanilly ill and facing certain death is worse than regular problems that people try to drink away. I think if I had a choice and I was on my death bed I would want to drop some bombs to better cope with dying....

of course you would, but then you arent really facing the problem with a clear mind. you are hiding from it. i would want my last words to my family to be memorable and meaningful.

That's good, but that's YOUR choice. I think I'd do the same as Terry...
