I could intuit that MDMA had therapeutic properties the first time I tried it. It left me in a different, and generally more centered space each of the (very few) times I tried it. I was in therapy at the time, and I had some awareness of what was going on inside my head.

I would have taken more of it, but in the early days (and back when I still dabbled in drugs) it was hard to come by and very expensive. I don't think either of those statements are true any longer.

I never treated it as, or considered it to be a party drug.
