No standalone federal psychedelic rescheduling bill or floor vote passes in 2026; veteran-access provisions are the only vehicle to advance.

No bill making psychedelics broadly more legal at the federal level will pass Congress in 2026. The legislative calendar is packed, and there's only one angle that gets enough cross-party support to move at all: measures that give military veterans access to psychedelic treatments. Everything else is stuck. This matters because without federal action, the patchwork of state-by-state rules continues, creating confusion about what's legal where.

Floor time is consumed by other priorities, and veteran framing is the only lane that brings Republicans to the table. Consensus across legislator, dea_officer, and fda_reviewer; sole dissent from maps_researcher.
