The order is described as helping people with debilitating symptoms reclaim their lives, with the drugs to be advanced through late-stage clinical trials. Rogan said he spoke with former Texas Governor Rick Perry and Bryan Hubbard on his show and was struck by their belief that psychedelics could benefit many Americans, noting how impactful these medicines can be.<\/p>\n<p>Rogan recounted that he contacted Trump after sharing information from those conversations, and Trump later said he received messages from several people, including Rogan, encouraging action. Dr. Mehmet Oz described the rapid progression from contact to orders being issued, calling it an \u201cunimaginable\u201d feat to move from a web of connections to an executive order in a short time. Kennedy Jr., who leads the push for broader access to psychedelic medicines, had already been working to lower barriers before Rogan\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order presents the move as a response to suicide, especially among veterans, highlighting a rise in suicide rates and noting that veterans are disproportionately affected. It states that psychedelic drugs show potential in treating serious mental illnesses for patients who do not respond to standard therapies and mentions that the FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy designations to certain psychedelics, with several products in clinical trials. The administration says it aims to accelerate innovative research models and appropriate drug approvals to increase access to psychedelic treatments that could save lives and help address the mental health crisis in America.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like, I can also condense this into a single paragraph or tailor it to a specific angle (e.g., focus on veterans, on FDA status, etc.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2592468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-04-18T171356.395.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[70344,8468,78027,78068,71977],"class_list":["post-2592467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-donald-trump-2","tag-fda","tag-joe-rogan-2","tag-text-message-2","tag-white-house-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-04-18T171356.395.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2592467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2592467"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2592467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2592471,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2592467\/revisions\/2592471"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2592468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2592467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2592467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2592467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
