Often, in cases of extreme depression, suicide is the outcome. Even if it's true that pure mdma damages the brain, taking that risk is worth it if the possible outcome is total remission. Also, it's important to remember sessions would be limited, unlike taking anti-depressants for the rest of your life.

For sure @skypal but are better treatments, safier and with less adverse effects. Right now are investigation with marijuana and ketamine. specially with ketamine in acute depressive dangerous symptoms as suicide thoughts or behavior.
Yes, exactly this.
On a related topic, I personally think it's more dangerous for a society not to take psychedelics than to take them. The risks of not taking psychedelics include: Not knowing yourself; not remembering your past; unconsciously repeating traumatic behaviour patterns; materialism; patriarchal hierarchies and violence.
In short, a society that outlaws psychedelics outlaws reflection on itself.
I think in any balanced discussion, the risks of not taking consciousness expanding drugs should also be included :)
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the psychedelic statelessness is . . .
