happy(was Re: the context of Pynchon's MDMA saying)

At 7:43 AM -0600 11/15/99, David Morris mentioned "Wimpe's possible
conversation w/ Tchitcherine?  That  American Ten Year Plan?  The search
"to find something that can kill intense  pain without causing addiction"
AKA "trafficking in pain."  Just what the  "rational economy" doctor
ordered."

Well the "rational economy" can't sell it because the powers-that-be made
MDMA illegal, but I have read anecdotal reports of people using this
substance as a painkiller, especially in case of movement-related pain
(arthritis, for example), in addition to its heart-opening,
intimacy-promoting effects (when used in the right settings -- your mileage
may vary). And MDMA would appear to be non-addictive, from what I've read.
