The House of Representatives has passed significant amendments related to medical cannabis and psychedelics research, specifically allowing Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) doctors to issue medical marijuana recommendations and supporting psychedelics research and access at the VA. Additionally, a new spending bill from a GOP congressional committee, chaired by Rep. Dave Joyce, includes provisions to remove the ban on marijuana sales in Washington, D.C. and provide protections for banks working with state-licensed cannabis businesses. The House Rules Committee approved these amendments, clearing them for floor votes. However, the White House has threatened to veto a $147.5 billion bill funding military construction and the VA, citing partisan policy proposals that could harm minority groups and risk patient safety at VA medical facilities. The vote on the VA funding bill passed 209-197, with a few Democrats breaking ranks to support it.
