Why?

A friend of ours was writing a book and interviewed Dr. Shulgin about ecstasy. According to Shulgin himself, he initially began using MDMA for married couples as a counseling measure. It enabled couples with deep rooted trust issues (such as dealing with the after effects of adultery) or trauma (like loss of a child) to bond.

Ecstasy was also beneficial in helping soldiers with PTSD. People may abuse ecstasy or use it in a manner that was not intended, but that alone does not make him worthy of Hell. Shulgin even talked about how unfortunate it was that ecstasy has been co-opted as merely a party drug, when it was intended to help people. The misuse of ecstasy does not invalidate its valuable properties.

Would the first person who developed wine or beer be burning in Hell because of all the alcoholics and debauchery that followed? I’m a social conservative, and I think wine and beer a have a place in society.
