Yang wants to legalize pot, mushrooms, MDMA for military vets to treat PTSD
NY Post
New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang wants to legalize party drugs for military veterans — including marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms and MDMA — to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, The Post has learned.
Yang would push for legalization of certain psychedelics and other drugs in controlled medical settings, according to a plan obtained by The Post. Some of those drugs have been effective at treating the condition, according to some studies and trials. Use of party drugs for therapeutic purposes would need state and federal approval, which he would use his bully pulpit to push for if elected mayor.More Related News
