No standalone psychedelic bill reaches a House floor vote this session; the only viable path is a veteran-access provision attached to the FY27 NDAA.

Congress isn't going to vote on a standalone law about psychedelics in this session. The only realistic way something passes is if a small provision giving military veterans access to psychedelic treatments gets quietly attached to the giant yearly defense spending bill called the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). That bill must pass, so it's a rare vehicle for controversial add-ons.

My district needs cover. Absent a floor vehicle in today's docket, the NDAA rider is the realistic route to bring members along without getting ahead of voters.
