Halima Shah, last week on today explained you reported two stories about using MDMA for therapy.

That's right. There was an idea that started all the way back in the late 70s, early 80s that MDMA could be useful in therapy.

And today we're seeing clinical trials that do just that for people who have PTSD. So this month any day now the FDA is

expected to announce whether or not MDMA assisted therapy is a suitable

PTSD treatment and there's a lot of people, including

veterans who are advocating hard for this, but there are some people who are in

trials who say that this experience traumatized them more.

There seems to be a lack of care or curiosity or concern

for what happens to the human beings who've been in these trials

once the trials are over and they've got the data they needed.

And we're going to hear from one of them on Today Explained.

Support for the show comes from into the mix, a Ben and Jerry's podcast about joy and justice, produced with Fox Creative.

Ainez Bordeaux is a self-described Hellraiser, and she became an activist after being caught up in the criminal

legal system when she couldn't afford her bond.

And without a trial, Einez was sent to a St. Louis detention facility known as the workhouse.

Natoria is for its poor living conditions.

Here how she and other advocates fought to shut it down and won.

On the first episode of this special three-part

series out now. Subscribe to Into the Mix a Ben and Jerry's podcast.
