U.S. lawmakers are taking a bipartisan approach to investigate the potential of psychedelics in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among veterans. The upcoming 2024 defense bill will support this research, offering hope to patients who have struggled to find effective treatments for their condition.
While the mention of psychedelics often conjures up images of hallucinating hippies and magic mushrooms, doctors who treat veterans with PTSD have discovered a different kind of 'magic.' Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw is leading this effort with a bipartisan bill that would not only permit veterans but also active duty service members to participate in clinical studies.
