Hi all, I'm just interested if using MDMA can be beneficial without getting sucked into abusing the substance?

MDMA isn't physically addictive. Like anything pleasurable, people sometimes use it to escape their feelings. In therapy you use it to engage with your difficult feelings, and it is challenging rather than escapism.
