Military veterans are a cause that politicians from both parties tend to support. Some lawmakers have already tucked funding for psychedelic research into big defense spending bills. This prediction says that within 12 months, a bill or amendment specifically aimed at studying psychedelics as a treatment for veterans — think PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or traumatic brain injury — will pass through at least one committee or get a floor vote in the House or Senate.
Veterans are a bipartisan wedge with existing DoD/VA psychedelic research provisions (e.g., NDAA riders); 'advances' sharpened to a committee/floor action to remain falsifiable rather than aspirational.
