The US federal government will keep psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) and MDMA (ecstasy) in the strictest drug category, meaning no legal medical use nationwide. Politicians are nervous about loosening drug laws and prefer to fund research quietly rather than make a big public move. This matters because millions of people who might benefit from these treatments still can't access them legally.
Enforcement reality and political caution align. Congress prefers research, not loosening controls. I don't have to justify legalization to harmed communities.
