AOC, Dan Crenshaw and the mellow struggle for psychedelic drug access

Style AOC, Dan Crenshaw and the mellow struggle for psychedelic drug access What do a democratic socialist, a Republican war veteran and a long-haired lobbyist from Montana have in common? There aren’t a lot of political issues that Crenshaw, the conservative former Navy SEAL, and Ocasio-Cortez, the democratic-socialist former bartender, agree on. Three years ago, Crenshaw, the Texas Republican, hadn’t even heard about psychedelic treatments for mental health issues. “I’m not even on the marijuana recreational bandwagon,” Crenshaw said, but he has come to see psychedelic treatments as “chemo for your brain. He also said the “gerontocracy” of older lawmakers in Congress was partly to blame for the slowness of psychedelic drug legislation.
