Former MP Takes MDMA In Controversial New Channel 4 Programme.

Former MP Evan Harris has taken ecstasy for a Channel 4 show which will examine the effects of the class A drug. Entitled 'Drugs Live: The Ecstasy Trail', it sees various participants given MDMA or a placebo before being placed inside a brain scanner.


"It was not obvious to me when I was taking the MDMA and when I was taking the placebo." He said. "But it was clear I wasn't raving... I wasn't entering into this hoping to get a free high. I was just keen to help the study."
 
The series of shows are based upon a research project by Professor David Nutt, the former government advisor who was dismissed after criticising government policies.
 
However the show's been slammed by Julia Manning, chief executive of independent think-tank 2020 Health, as "reckless and pointless".
