  • The Arkansas State Capitol building in Little Rock, Arkansas.

    72%

    of U.S. voters back legal therapeutic access to psychedelics.

  • A small group sits in a circle in a living room with bookshelves, talking and listening to each other.

    55%

    say they or someone close to them has used psychedelics.

It’s About Time.

States like ours are already acting on psychedelic therapy, often with broad bipartisan support.

Selected legislative votes, 2025–2026. House passage alone does not mean a bill became law.

Other conservative, rural, veteran-heavy states are not sitting this out, and neither should we.
