This week, Unpacked explains why the street drug MDMA, often found in Ecstasy or Molly, might just hold the key to helping sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

It might seem a crazy - or even controversial - approach to take, but a possibly revolutionary MDMA treatment, pioneered by research led by the California-based nonprofit MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) - which has research facilities in the US, Canada, and Israel - is showing very promising results.

While the research is ongoing, medical researchers believe this approach might just be a way to end suffering for a population that has had to deal with life-altering trauma.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.

Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.

About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.
