    Former elite forces fighter Phil Campion seemed perfect to test mind altering drugs to help army veterans – but it turned him into a "20-plus-stone ex-SAS lunatic".<\/p>\n

    Phil was trained to kill by the best of the best, and spent 15 years in the British army, ending his career as a member of 22 SAS. With researchers finding that Ecstasy could work wonders for combat veterans suffering from PTSD, it made sense for Channel 4\u2019s Drugs Live to recruit \u201cBig Phil\u201d to test out the love drug.<\/p>\n

    The experiment didn\u2019t go to plan. Most people who have taken moderate doses of MDMA report experiencing euphoria and a general sense of \u201cloving everyone and everything.\u201d It turned Big Phil into a wild man.<\/p>\n

    After giving Phil a placebo to test that the effect wasn\u2019t purely psychological, the producers handed him a genuine Disco Biscuit. Phil told podcaster Dodge Woodall that the whole experiment was carried out under clinical conditions.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThey put you in scrubs and all that,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI looked like 10 pounds of s*** in a two-pound bag \u2013 It wasn\u2019t my best telly look, it was horrendous\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Unlike the placebo pill, the genuine ecstasy \u201chorse tablet\u201d had an almost immediate effect on Phil. Within about 20 minutes, he says, his eyes were like saucers. Phil\u2019s wife Wendy, who had come along to drive him home after the experiment, told him \u201cYou are f****d\u201d.<\/p>\n

    But then Phil, who was gurning like a classic Acid House casualty, started \u201cgetting a little bit agitated,\u201d especially when it was time for him to have a brain scan to test the drug\u2019s effects.<\/p>\n
