Alexandria’s amendment would tackle the war on drugs and advance MDMA and psilocybin for therapeutic applications.
It took three years, but Alexandria’s amendment to study MDMA and psychedelic substances for therapeutic applications finally passed the House.
Why is this important? There’s a lot of evidence that these drugs can help veterans address PTSD, and they are far less addictive than many prescription opioids. Yet, the stigma around these drugs have stopped scientific study. Now, with this amendment, that will change.
Tackling the war on drugs, and fighting for science over stigma is one of the many reasons we need to keep Alexandria in Congress. Can you chip in $3 today to help reelect her?

Getting this amendment passed was a rare bipartisan win.
Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw filed a connected amendment creating a grant program to conduct research and clinical trials to treat PTSD using psychedelics. Together, Alexandria’s and Rep. Crenshaw’s amendments are huge steps forward in removing the harsh stigmatization and restrictions imposed on psychedelics during the war on drugs that have blocked further research on their therapeutic applications.
