A Note from the Editor

This week gave us a chance to catch our breaths following a flurry of developments and headlines in the first few weeks of 2026.

Still, there is plenty to review on the psychedelic policy reform front, with psychedelics-related bills introduced or revived in state legislatures across the U.S. At present, our Psychedelic Bill Tracker is tracking 75 bills, and this week we published our January round-up.

There’s activity at the federal level, too, with a new House bill introduced this week that aims to establish a psychedelics research and extended/compassionate access program in the VA.

Here at Psychedelic Alpha, we published an interview with Joost Breeksema on the ‘human side’ of psychedelic therapy, an Op-Ed on psychedelic public health, and our 2026 Psychedelic Alpha Reader Survey.

Below, you will find your Psychedelic News Feed, a one-stop digest for the latest coverage of psychedelics business, policy, research and beyond.
