President Donald Trump and Joe Rogan briefly set aside their differences in the name of psychedelics.

Rogan, 58, stood dutifully behind Trump, 79, in the Oval Office on Saturday as the president signed an executive order to fast-track the review of psychedelic drugs.

The executive order directs the Food and Drug Administration to boost research into the use of psychedelics such as LSD, MDMA, and ibogaine to treat mental illness.

They are classified as Schedule I drugs, which means they have no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
