India and Russia are tightening their relationship as President Putin visits New Delhi to discuss expanding defence ties

This involved the sale of a 5.4 billion dollar defence system to India which has been threatened by the risk of sanctions from the United States.

India’s Foreign secretary says “Supplies have begun this month and will continue to happen” and that “whether it is us or Russia, we conduct an independent foreign policy”.

The defence system deal was first agreed upon in 2018 and is seen as a tactical move by India to protect itself against the growing threat of China along its borders.

MDMA is a drug commonly known as molly or ecstasy.

Some medical professionals say it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder — which is why a group has been fighting to get MDMA legalized as a prescription drug.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
