lol. no shit we've noticed.
i heard on news he signed it for the veterans. i thought bullshit -- he doesn't like them.
did he do it for people with anxiety and depression? why would he -- he doesn't give a shit about people.
my guess is he did it for a lot the freaks he surrounds himself in his cabinet along with his kid (that one kid of his in particular)

Trump signs order fast tracking review of psychedelics for mental health disorders

President Trump has signed an executive order to make certain psychedelic drugs more available to treat mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. He directed $50 million in federal funds to make them more accessible, and ordered the Food and Drug Administration to fast track a review of such drugs as psilocybin and ibogaine.

"Can I have some, please?" Trump joked to a laughing audience in the Oval Office.

During the announcement, Rogan said he had texted Trump about ibogaine and the president responded, "Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it."

In the 1950s, scientists reported potential advances in using the drugs to treat addiction and other psychiatric conditions. But government research ended in the 1960s, when recreational use became popular. Now, studies on the effects of psychedelics have resumed. A 2025 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that a single dose of the psychedelic LSD could ease anxiety and depression for months. At least 21 million American adults have reported at least one major depressive episode, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Around one in 10 Americans have also been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or GAD.

Thorazine, Haloperidol and Arsenic would all do wonders in Trump's case.

Arsenic would work best, but that's kind of a last-resort cure.

I have a lot of coincidences/synchronicity every day and here is another one.

Last night I was looking for the scene with Gram Parsons in the film The Trip (written by Jack Nicholson and starring Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Susan Strasberg) which I had recorded last week.

Then I went down the Susan Strasberg route and there was her husband Christopher Jones. Then I went down the Olivia Hussey route. Then I went down the Sharon Tate route and Jim Morrison/Pamela Courson route to remember what I had learned previously. He was physically abusive to the women in his life.

Everything IS connected.

Psychedelic drugs are the last thing he needs, with his frontal lobes rapidly deteriorating.

Otoh, would keeping him high all the time would make him less likely to start any more wars? Maybe that's worth looking into!
