Trump’s Psychedelic Executive Order Is the Beginning of the End of Prohibition
On April 18, President Trump signed an executive order to accelerate research, regulatory review, and patient access to psychedelic therapies for serious mental illness. The order does not legalize or de‑criminalize psychedelics but directs the FDA to issue priority vouchers for breakthrough-designated drugs and creates a Right‑to‑Try pathway for investigational compounds. It earmarks at least $50 million through ARPA‑H for state‑level research and instructs agencies to prepare for faster rescheduling once Phase 3 data are available. The move marks a federal shift toward treating psychedelics as a legitimate mental‑health frontier.
