Excellent first-hand accounts that are amazingly diverse, September 23, 2009
This review is from: Through the Gateway of the Heart: Accounts of Experiences with MDMA and Other Emphathogenic Substances (Paperback)
Two to five-page personal accounts by MDMA experiencers divided into sections of: female, male, and group. I expected cookie-cutter case studies. The medicine's claim to fame is easy access to the subconscious and these accounts vividly demonstrate the individuality of each person's psyche...and the efficacy of the drug. An appendix provides detailed guidelines for set and setting.

A Welcome Counterpoint, September 17, 2006
This review is from: Through the Gateway of the Heart: Accounts of Experiences with MDMA and Other Emphathogenic Substances (Paperback)
At last, a book about the MDMA experience that doesn't simply parrot the same old war-on-drugs propaganda, but sheds light on the subjective experience of real people who took the psychoactive agent and found the experience to be transformative in important ways. This is a welcome addition to the literature on psychedelic experience that is a refreshing antidote to the nonsense slung about by non-objective researchers who take taxpayers cash to scare us with falsified data.
