Who would have thought – popping an E could cure cancer! From BBC News:
Modified ecstasy could one day have a role to play in fighting some blood cancers, according to scientists.
Ecstasy is known to ? some cancer cells, but scientists have increased its effectiveness 100-fold, they said in Investigational New Drugs journal.
Their early study showed all leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma cells could be killed in a test tube, but any treatment would be a decade away.
A charity said the findings were a “significant step forward”.
In 2006, a research team at the University of Birmingham showed that ecstasy and anti-depressants such as Prozac had the potential to stop cancers growing.
The problem was that it needed doses so high they would have been fatal if given to people.
The researchers, in collaboration with the University of Western Australia, have chemically re-engineered ecstasy by taking some atoms away and putting new ones in their place.
One variant increased cancer-fighting effectiveness 100-fold. It means that if 100g of un-modified ecstasy was needed to get the desired effect, only 1g of the modified ecstasy would be needed to have the same effect…

There was also an experimental programme in England where they gave ecstasy to people who were suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (soldiers, ? victims) and apparently for a lot of them it was really helping. Actually I just googled it and they did something similar in the US aswell;
