There simply aren't enough votes in Congress right now to move psilocybin off the federal banned substances list. The one area where politicians across parties can agree is using it carefully for military veterans with conditions like PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). That narrow focus is what's actually achievable.
I can't get ahead of my district. Broad rescheduling has no votes. Narrow veteran provisions are the bipartisan sweet spot I can actually deliver.
