The Overground looks into innovations around the biology of MDMA (also known as exstasy, molly, beans, thizz, vowels or Malcom). Trace the drug’s interesting history as it begins in big pharma labs, then moves to CIA mind control experiments and therapists’ offices, before jumping into the 1980’s party scene and the DEA’s banned substance list, before landing in its modern renaissance. Today, PTSD patients are re-wiring their brains with this fascinating drug.
