Trump signs psychedelics executive order

The signing ceremony in the Oval Office featured podcaster Joe Rogan and signaled a significant shift in the administration's approach to public health and drug policy.

Officials stated that the move is intended to address the growing mental health crisis among former service members and those with treatment-resistant depression.

While the order does not legalize the drugs for recreational use, it provides a federal framework for clinical trials and pharmaceutical development.

Critics and supporters alike are watching to see how this affects the broader 'war on drugs' rhetoric of the GOP.
