Psilocybin treatment proposed for Missouri veterans and first responders

Legislation in Jeff City calls for $2M for clinical trials

Psilocybin "Golden Teacher" mushrooms grow in a humidified monotub in the basement of a private home on December 24, 2023 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Recent studies have suggested that psilocybin mushrooms, also known as "magic mushrooms" have shown promise in combating anxiety, anorexia, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and various forms of substance abuse. Scientists say psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, a rewiring of the brain that may give patients fresh perspectives on longstanding psychiatric issues. Psilocybin is classified in the United States as a Schedule 1 substance, making it illegal by federal law. Many local municipalities nationwide, however, have moved to decriminalize it in smaller quantities. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)

Trey Warren is a Navy veteran and former Top Gun pilot who flew 192 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression. He also attempted suicide three times.
