white supremacist
A white supremacist from the US, referred to by the name Brendan, is said to have lost his “extremist views” after taking MDMA in a clinical study, the BBC reports.
The trial had finished, Brendan submitted a form to researchers, writing in bold letters: “This experience has helped me sort out a debilitating personal issue. Google my name. I now know what I need to do.”

According to Rachel Nuwer, who wrote on the study and Brendan’s reformed views after it had commenced, researchers googled Brendan’s name and were surprised to see that he had been a leader of Identity Evropa, a notorious white nationalist group then known as the American Identity Movement.
He also attended the ‘Unite The Right’ rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and lost his job as a result of his extremist views just two months before clinical trials had begun.
