Bipartisan lawmakers are pushing for marijuana and psychedelics amendments to be included in a large-scale defense bill. The amendments include ending drug testing for cannabis for military members, carrying out a clinical study into the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics for active duty service members with PTSD, traumatic brain injury or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and a defense department medical cannabis pilot program examining the health impacts of marijuana use by veterans and service members who are VA beneficiaries. The fate of these proposals remains uncertain due to complications over unrelated measures.
