Trump Endorses Psychedelic Research

The order calls for the FDA to provide expedited consideration for certain psychedelic compounds that show promise in treating mental health conditions.

Influential podcaster Joe Rogan is credited with helping move the administration toward this policy shift after several public discussions on the topic.

While advocates hail the move as a 'game-changer' for veterans and those with chronic illness, some medical experts urge caution regarding the long-term safety of these substances.

The Department of Health and Human Services will now oversee a significant increase in federal grants for clinical research into psychedelic medicine.
