DEA Advances Psilocybin Rescheduling

DEA Advances Psilocybin Rescheduling

After years of legal back-and-forth, the DEA has formally sent a petition to the Department of Health and Human Services to review moving psilocybin from Schedule I to Schedule II. The case, led by Dr. Sunil Aggarwal for end-of-life care patients, marks a key step toward potential medical access. If HHS and FDA recommend rescheduling, psilocybin could become available under Right to Try laws for terminally ill patients and veterans at risk of suicide.
