Advocates for using psychedelic drugs to treat addiction, depression and other problems formed a political action committee on Monday to make their case to Congress.
The Psychedelic Medicine PAC hopes a groundswell of new research and relaxed attitudes toward drugs like LSD, mushrooms and MDMA will lead to policy changes, such as decriminalization and legal pathways for clinical trials.
For years, psychedelic drugs were linked to the counterculture of the 1960s and elicited negative connotations around bad trips or frantic behavior. The PAC is highlighting movement in the states and Congress, including a bipartisan bill from Sens. Cory A. Booker, New Jersey Democrat, and Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, that would give regulators a pathway for moving highly restricted, yet medically promising, drugs on Schedule I to Schedule II so that researchers can study them without fear of punishment.
