Wisconsin veterans with PTSD could seek psilocybin treatment under a bipartisan bill

Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder could have access to medicinal psilocybin treatment under a bipartisan bill.

The proposal would create a pilot program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison run in collaboration with the university’s Transdisciplinary Center for Research in Psychoactive Substances and its School of Pharmacy. Veterans age 21 and older suffering from treatment-resistant PTSD would be eligible to participate as long as they are not currently serving as law enforcement officers.
