Trump’s Brave New Executive Order Fast-Tracks Treatments for Mental Disorders

The Order directs the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Agency to create a pathway for eligible patients to access investigational psychedelic drugs, including ibogaine compounds, which are currently under FDA review and have met basic safety requirements outlined in President Trump’s landmark Right to Try Act.

Additionally, the Order requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to allocate $50 million through the Advanced Research Projects for Health program. This funding is intended to match investments made by state governments to further research into psychedelic therapies for populations suffering from serious mental illnesses.

Furthermore, the Order instructs the Attorney General to review these drugs after they successfully complete Phase 3 clinical trials, so they can be rescheduled if deemed appropriate:

This initiative aims to ensure that individuals with serious mental illnesses, including veterans, can access effective treatments

We have a mental health crisis in our country, but the vast majority of it is on the left. Wonder if we could get the GOP majority to mandate that ibogaine be taken by anyone identifying as or voting for Democrats.
