Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are recognizing psychedelics’ therapeutic potential. New proposed legislation led by progressive Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and conservative Republican Dan Crenshaw aims to expand research opportunities, remove obstacles for medical professionals, and foster safe and regulated access to psychedelic therapies. This is a fantastic step forward for progress, but Representative Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged the road ahead. “While we are here to celebrate this legislative progress, I also want to acknowledge we are not yet done,” she said. “While we expect this psychedelic provision to make it through the House, we also expect it to face resistance in the Senate.”
