Congress won't pass a stand-alone law legalizing psychedelics in 2026. The closest thing to federal movement will be small provisions tucked into larger bills — especially ones framed around helping military veterans. Meanwhile, states like Oregon and Colorado will keep pushing ahead on their own. This matters because your access to legal psychedelic therapy in 2026 will almost entirely depend on where you live.
Today's calendar proves the priority queue. I won't get ahead of my district. Veteran-framed riders are the only viable federal vehicle this cycle.
