This is probably the most positive news of my lifetime.

I'm very interested in expert opinions on this one. No politics please, I just want to talk about the implications of the new order that was signed, and would like to know if there is anything negative about this unprecedented news. I know some Nexians here are personally involved in the administration of these analogs in terms of pharmacological and ethnobotanicals for their health and wellness benefits, and would like to know what this means for civilian access down the road. I won't post it here due to the restriction of politics, but you can read the order yourself on the Whitehouse website as well as find the livestream by CSPAN on youtube.

As far as I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong) with Ibogaine at the forefront of this order, it, and other psychedelics are being streamlined away from federal control to help with opiate addiction and PTSD among other mental illnesses as well, but I’m positive this will open the door for psilocybin, mdma, ketamine, and possibly even DMT/DMTx to be free of Federal control as well?

This will open countless doors for civilians to retrace their roots with pharmacological psychedelics and allow us to rekindle our relationship with psychedelic plants, which runs extremely deep. This has always been a very important issue for me, and it should be for everyone. This will allow for immeasurable healing in this country, and for the world.

This executive order targets veterans with PTSD, but allows civilians access to ibogaine treatment as well, which has proven to be extremely effective at treating depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and other addictions, specifically opiates at a rate of 70% more than SSRIs. The cure rate for opiate addiction is 80% when taken once, and 90% when taken a second time. Wow.

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts, and hoping to gain some more insight from those of you more knowledgeable on the subject than I am. I know this means a lot for people who can truly benefit from these substances due to their existing conditions, but I have great hope that even more research will be done now, granting further access to others. Surely this will be a net positive for humanity right?

I'll leave it with a quote.

"Our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. To whatever degree any one of us can bring back a small piece of the picture and contribute it to the building of a new paradigm, then we participate in the redemption of the human spirit. And that after all, is what it's really all about." -Terence Mckenna
 
Might be getting a little ahead of yourself. There was an order to fast track reclassification of cannabis too, five months ago, but that doesn't mean it's done yet. A study recently concluded that cannabis is ineffective for anxiety, depression, and ptsd.

I had a friend that was a big advocate for Ibogaine, until he fatally relapsed seven years into sobriety. The 80% one and done stat seems a little exaggerated. He sensed the need to go back every year or so.

A step in the right direction tho.
