There are decades of studies showing therapeutic uses for psychedelics. There is no legitimate excuse for keeping say LSD as a schedule 1 drug.

I think RFK and Trump are deranged incompetent lunatics, but it is pretty clear FDA staff have an emotional and cultural resistance to psychedlics as treatment.
