Read the artical dude 80% of those treated were basically cured. It is not a prolonged use it is over the course of a few months.

weed is a horrible drug for PTSD. Will probably just intensify the flashbacks and paranoia.
I can see E being good for PTSD. It is very therapeutic, in the sense your innermost thoughts and feelings can come to the surface.
Considering there's already pharmaceutical versions of stuff like amphetamines and GHB, along with medical marijuana, it's not out of the realm of possibility MDMA will be used in a similar capacity albeit for different issues.

Im not sure why the normal method of cognitive behavioral therapy needs a "medication" add on...maybe Im being naive because CBT worked for me in challenging the way I perceived events.
to be fair I still have flashbacks but theyre brief and dont upset me like they did

wanted to add...I always thought it was a bullshit disorder because it seemed so..over the top
now I understand better...and wish no one had to endure it...its like a nitemare played over and over again all day at random times...sleep isnt any better

Simply, the sample size is tiny and far less than that required to give a sensible answer, only 20. It's also worth taking a slightly critical look at the organisation promoting this, the Multi-disciplinary Association for Psychedelic research, who specialise in researching banned substances. They've done quite a lot of work on LSD (somewhat unsurprisingly, given the name).
It's certainly worth more consideration and research and I take their point about MDMA allowing people to open up, that is after all what made Ecstacy so popular in the first place. However I won't shout it as a wonder cure just yet.
I've had a look at their website. They are planning to carry out research on military veterans, and have applied to the US research authorities to allow this to happen. However there are two fairly major problems with the proposal. Firstly they're only planning to trial this with 16 veterans, meaning it'll have basically no statistical reliability, and more importantly from their point of view "the study will cost $500,000. We still need to raise $475,000". They've already been fund raising for 7 months so it isn't likely to happen soon.
