Ik zat dus een beetje het internet af te struinen en daar kwam ik dit artikel tegen:

Abstract:
Cannabinoid–MDMA interactions were examined in male Wistar rats. MDMA (4×5 mg/kg or 2×10 mg/kg over 4 h on each of 2 days) was administered with or without 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (4×2.5 mg/kg), the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist CP 55,940 (2×0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg) or the cannabinoid receptor antagonist SR 141716 (2×5 mg/kg). Co-administered 9-THC and CP 55,940 but not SR 141716 prevented MDMA-induced hyperthermia, causing a powerful hypothermia. Co-administered 9-THC, CP 55,940 and SR 141716 all tended to decrease MDMA-induced hyperactivity. Co-administered 9-THC provided protection against the long-term increases in anxiety seen in the emergence test, but not the social interaction test, 6 weeks after MDMA treatment. Co-administered 9-THC and CP 55,940, but not SR 141716, partly prevented the long-term 5-HT and 5-HIAA depletion caused by MDMA in various brain regions. SR 141716 administered with CP 55,940 and MDMA prevented the hypothermic response to the CP 55,940/MDMA combination but did not alter the CP 55,940 attenuation of MDMA-induced 5-HT depletion. These results suggest a partial protective effect of co-administered cannabinoid receptor agonists on MDMA-induced 5-HT depletion and long-term anxiety. This action appears to operate independently of cannabinoid CB1 receptors.
Als ik dit dus zo lees, lijkt het aan te raden om te blowen bij MDMA-gebruik omdat het de hersentemperatuur terugbrengt. Het is sowieso al lekker om te blowen bij MDMA, maar als het ook nog eens beschermt is dat al helemaal bingo! Natuurlijk is dit maar 1 onderzoek, dus ik wil ook even weten wat jullie hiervan denken.
