Yeah, we have an episode on oral health coming out.

This is real.

That's actually why the teeth degenerate is from excessive dry and it limits saliva production.

Saliva is very important for remineralization of the teeth.

Shout out to the dentist in the house.

So the thing about MDMA is interesting because it turns out that MDMA, because it also, it increases dopamine just as methamphetamine does.

Remember MDMA, methylene, dioxin, methamphetamine, but also

Huge increases in serotonin seem to be most of the effect of MDMA, the kind of empathogenic effect.

There was a study done of people from the LDS, Latter-day Saints, sometimes referred to as Mormons.

Why was a study on MDMA done with people from the LDS community?

And I don't want to imply that everyone from the LDS community does MDMA, but why?

They're a very interesting test population because they don't do other drugs.

But for some reason, MDMA is not on the no-fly list.

So it's a beautiful paper in which they took people who had only done as any drug, not even taking caffeine, right?

Either once or twice.

semi-frequent or very frequent use of MDMA, and they did a bunch of cognitive testing, and there were some attention issues when people had taken over what was a couple hundred doses of MDMA at the 80 milligram dose or more, but doesn't seem to be much neurodegeneration, which is not to say that it's all safe.

There is an abuse and addictive potential there.

The biggest issue seems to be contamination of batches.

We have a fentanyl issue in the U.S.

I don't know if it's happening down here as well.
