Experts Press FDA for Clear Safety and Access Rules on Psychedelic Drugs

Researchers and clinicians are calling on the U.S. FDA to define explicit safety and patient‑access guidelines as the agency reviews psychedelic therapies.

A coalition of experts has urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to establish clear safety and access standards for psychedelic medicines, Reuters reported.

The call coincides with an FDA hearing that is concentrating on how to safeguard patients while expanding availability, and includes testimony from Jacksonville veterans describing their experiences with psychedelic‑assisted PTSD treatment.
