Will there be a pill for love? How about an ‘anti-love drug,’ to greatly help us overcome an ex girlfriend or boyfriend? This book argues that certain psychoactive chemicals, including MDMA-the active ingredient in Ecstasy-may help common couples work through relationship difficulties and improve their connection. Others can help sever an psychological connection during a breakup. These substances already exist, and they have transformative implications for how we think about love. This book develops an instance for performing about Love Medicines: The Chemical substance Future of Romantic relationships study into ‘like medicines’ and ‘anti-love medications’ and explores their moral implications for folks and culture.

And how do we overhaul scientific research norms to take relationships more fully into account?

Like Drugs hands us with the most recent scientific knowledge and a couple of moral tools that we can use to decide if these sorts of medications should be a part of our society. Or whether a chemical substance romance will end up being right for all of us.
