YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expedite research and access to psychedelics used outside the US to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. #trump #politics #worldnews #usa

The order directs the US Food and Drug Administration to issue new guidance to researchers on ibogaine, a psychedelic compound extracted from the iboga plant in Africa.

Trump's directive calls for a $50 million federal research investment into ibogaine, and opens an opportunity for terminally ill, or "desperately" ill, patients to try the drug under the Right to Try law.
