President Donald Trump signed an executive order recently to increase research into psychedelic therapies. As a combat veteran and former Army Ranger serving my country in Iraq and Afghanistan, this is welcome news.

After fighting for the United States, I had to leave it to get effective treatment for the invisible wounds I brought home. The treatment I received in Mexico with the psychedelic ibogaine was life-changing. My fellow veterans, as well as other Americans who could benefit, should be able to access psychedelic therapies safely and locally.
