Opinion: I’ve got no Issue with people getting high while they die.
Hear me out. I’m talking about party drugs. Things that people use to get out of it.
MDMA, it’s called Ecstasy, E or Disco Biscuits.
Some of you will be wondering what a Disco Biscuit is. What it does, and even more so why I would be suggesting you take one when you’re dying?
Well, for anybody who hasn’t been on the gear, when it comes on - boom all you want to do is hug, dance, talk shit. It makes you feel good. Allegedly.
It is also illegal.
But MDMA works by temporarily reducing activity in the amygdala – a region of the brain associated with “fear”.
Last week we investigated cancer. It sucks. It comes with anxiety, depression, pain, regrets. And of course “fear”.
MDMA can help with all that and that’s why there are clinical trials about to get under way for terminal cancer patients here in New Zealand.
With 40 years of the ‘War on Drugs’ the World had its blinkers on. Nobody looked at the good this stuff could do.
Now there’s a global revolution of science. And it’s not just MDMA but other potential medicines like LSD, Ketamine, and Mushrooms.
Why should MDMA be widely used by youngsters at Rhythm and Vines, but not available in a hospice for the people who could really do with it? Yes, I am talking about “rave to the grave”.
So good luck to the scientists doing the clinical trials. And I’m absolutely stoked for the people who get to be the guinea pigs.
I am so in support of this idea I even created my own meme of a guinea pig with sunnies on.
That’s why I’ve got no issues with getting high while you die.
