President Donald Trump signed an executive order Saturday that he said "directs the FDA to expedite their review of certain psychedelics already designated as breakthrough therapy drugs."
"The executive order I'm signing, we're actually signing the executive order today, is really a moment," Trump said. "These treatments are currently in the advanced stages of clinical trials to ensure that they're both safe and effective for the American patients."
The president said the executive order would implement "historic reforms to dramatically accelerate access to new medical research and treatments based on psychedelic drugs."
"In many cases, these experimental treatments have shown life-changing potential for those suffering from severe mental illness and depression, including our cherished veterans," Trump said***.
"And the nice part is we're actually doing this early, but it has been going on. Research has been going on for quite some time. But, you know, usually with things like this, nothing ever happens, no matter how the research ends up, but we're changing that. This order will clear away unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles, improve data sharing among the FDA and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and facilitate fast rescheduling of any psychedelic drugs that become FDA approved," Trump continued.
***"in 2024, a study from Stanford University, 30 special operation veterans with traumatic brain injuries underwent -- it's called ibogaine treatment -- ibogaine, remember the name," noting that they "experienced an 80 to 90% reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety within one month."
"In Texas, Republican leaders have already committed $50 million to the ibogaine research. And today, the federal government is making a $50 million research investment in its own.***
"We're also opening a pathway for ibogaine to be administered to desperately ill patients under the right to try law," Trump said

Far out, man!
I may have a vinyl copy of that album.
Ayahusca helped me.... good to see REAL effective treatments getting a look. Not the SSRI crap killing us.
Wow.

This potential has been known for some time. Glad to see this review happening.
One good reason why one size fits all medical treatment is not such a great idea.
An incredible album. For some unexplained reason I gravitated towards 3rd Stone From the Sun.
It’s all just chemicals, it can be used or abused. The problem is sometimes the line between use and abuse is very thin.
This is a powerful video from Marcus Luttrell testifying about the benefits of ibogaine.

Yeah, well, that’s just like your opinion, man.
The right to try principle is important; A particular therapy may only help some but if you are not being helped otherwise, it’s important to have access to know if you are one of the patients that are helped by a novel or off-label use therapy.
So AOC’s ketamine therapy will be a legal medical expense?
The only difference between a medicine and poison is the dosage.
How about a review of the drugs all the mass shooters are on as so called, treatment
I havent heard that reference since Greg Brady
LOL that was the episode where he wanted to be “cool” when he started high school
