Congress released their psychedelics blueprint recommendations
From Politico: CONGRESS WEIGHS IN ON PSYCHEDELICS — A bipartisan group of lawmakers released a blueprint Thursday for a coordinated federal approach to psychedelic medicine ahead of expected action from the Food and Drug Administration on certain psychedelic drug applications, POLITICO’s Amanda Friedman reports.
The Congressional Psychedelics Advancing Therapies Caucus’ report offers recommendations for integrating psychedelic-assisted therapy — a combination of mental health counseling with controlled doses of psychedelics — into the U.S. health care system. It’s based on feedback that lawmakers solicited from clinicians, researchers, veterans’ advocates and others regarding issues like provider training, patient safety and federal regulation.
