The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to extend a psychedelics research effort at the Department of Defense (DOD) for an additional six years and to codify provisions of a psychedelics executive order signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Republican leadership in the chamber blocked a separate proposal to expand waivers for military recruits who’ve tested positive for marijuana from even being considered.
Lawmakers voted to approve the psychedelics amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027 in a voice vote on Wednesday as part of an en bloc package with other unrelated proposals, and the overall bill then passed 216-212.
