      <![CDATA[The article is wrong. The study isn't the first of its kind. I took part in a study in 2004 at a university in Michigan (not U-M or MSU), which was an MDMA nap study, trying to gauge the effects of MDMA on sleep as well as  thinking patterns using a bunch of different tests from word/memory games to analytical thought to how many times can you click this button with your index finger in a minute. Paid well. I think I was an outlier because I made the tester cackle, which she wasn't supposed to do and apologized saying she'd never broken character before.<br />
<br />
Anyways, they were conducting a secondary test for either CAT or MRI scans, voluntary, and they really wanted me on it. But, I am minorly claustrophobic sober, and very claustrophobic when I wasn't. I refused the test. <br />
<br />
I never found out the results of the test, and I haven't found a publication of it, though I've only cursorily looked.

      <![CDATA[I'm not sure it's ill-informed legislators. It's the drug companies who lobby to have these things criminalized so they can sell more of their own drugs.<br />
<br />
At least, that seems probable.
