After unsuccessfully trying traditional therapy, renowned author and social researcher Rebecca Huntley chose an unconventional path to healing: MDMA.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drug MDMA is made from the root of the sassafras tree. It is known as a party drug, taken to have a good time, to dance, to shed inhibitions. It has also, since early 2023, been authorised in Australia for use in treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those with PTSD, the goal is not to have a good time and dance: it is to find a way forward in their lives after trauma, and to find their way back to the person they were before they were traumatised. For Rebecca, this meant reconciling with the violence, trauma, death and despair that had taken root in her life. It also meant stopping a crushing cycle of intergenerational trauma for the sake of her children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe had three sessions of MDMA therapy, delivered by an underground healer. The treatment changed her life, her view of the world, and the way she saw the past, present and future. It led to greater wisdom, compassion, and awareness of the connections between humans and the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSassafras\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a woman determined to confront her traumatic past head-on.

This is, on the whole, bunkum. If polls were influential, we would have invested much more in renewable energy, maintained and even increased funding to the ABC, and made child care cheaper. We may already have made changes to negative gearing and moved towards adopting elements of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. We would have taken up the first iteration of the Gonski education reforms.
