California is considering new treatments involving psychedelics for veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to FOX40.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new funding pathway to support psychedelic research, aiming to improve therapies for veterans with PTSD. This announcement came one day before Veterans Day, emphasizing the state's commitment to veteran health.

Researchers at UC Davis are developing an LSD-type drug intended for therapeutic use, reflecting local involvement in this emerging treatment approach.

The initiative marks a significant step in exploring alternative treatments for PTSD among California's veteran population, potentially impacting care options in the Sacramento area and beyond.
