Texas to spend millions on psychedelic research
Texas plans to spend $50 million on research examining the effects of a psychedelic drug called Ibogaine on behavioral health conditions. Why it matters: Ibogaine remains illegal in the U.S., but its advocates hope Texas' research will push it toward FDA approval, saying it can help veterans with PTSD and other mental illnesses. The effort is the largest state-funded psychedelic research initiative, per the Texas Ibogaine Initiative. How it works: Ibogaine is a psychoactive compound found in a plant native to parts of Africa. The compound's effects depend on its potency. Researchers have found that various forms of Ibogaine can help veterans with traumatic brain injuries and people experiencing addiction or depression. State of play: The U.S. outlawed Ibogaine and other psychotropic drugs, including LSD and mushrooms, in 1967. Some U.S. veterans have sought psychedelic therapy abroad. The intrigue: Former Gov. Rick Perry and his wife learned about psychedelics as medicine while caring for a Navy SEAL veteran who was severely injured while serving in Afghanistan, per the Texas Standard. Ibogaine therapy in Mexico helped the veteran recover from opioid addiction. Perry now advocates the therapy for veterans. Reality check: Ibogaine must go through FDA-approved clinical trials before it can be used for treatment. It has been associated with cardiac arrest and seizures. What they're doing: Texas plans to pay for its Ibogaine research through a public-private partnership involving a state university, drug company and hospital. "This is about restoration. It's about the opportunity to restore the lives of so many veterans that have put their lives on the line for us … and have suffered as a result," state Sen. Tan Parker, a Flower Mound Republican who authored the research bill, said after Gov. Greg Abbott signed the legislation.

Long Island teen Finn Schiavone overcomes paralysis, credits Navy SEALs as inspiration
A Long Island teenager says a Navy SEAL museum, and the people who run it, inspired him to overcome an unthinkable challenge. Finn Schiavone overcame paralysis after a traumatic brain injury he sustained during wrestling practice almost three years ago. "I lost my ability to walk, talk, read and write," Schiavone said. He says the bravery on display at West Sayville's Lt. Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum is what inspired him as he went through rehab. "It's like, truly amazing - what people were able to put their mind to," Schiavone said. After two years of slight improvements, one day his aide rolled him into the museum in his wheelchair. Schiavone said something within its walls lit a new spark. "I was dazed out, half the time. But I remember coming here, and I was like, this is the place. They're going to be with me," Schiavone said. He was right. "Every time he came back, something new changed" "This kid had this infectious smile and charisma to him, but he couldn't relay his message," Lt. Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum Executive Director Chris Wylie said. Wylie said the two developed an instant connection, and as Schiavone frequently returned to the museum, that bond grew. "Winded up making this museum a normal spot, monthly or every other month, to come and visit and give him a little more inspiration," Wylie said. Each time Schiavone showed off his progress. His rehab, six days a week, were helping him. "Every time he came back, something new changed," Wylie said. Finn Schiavone takes his first steps during a race in 2024. Schiavone family Last year, during a race, Wylie was there to help Schiavone take his first steps on his own. "He ended up surprising his mother, taking a couple of steps. She never saw him get out of his wheelchair and be able to move on his own," Wylie said. Schiavone made these significant improvements after two years in a wheelchair, which is when doctors say significant functional recovery is rare. Now Schiavone is fully recovered, and competing in strength challenges at the museum. "I have nothing but gratitude for this place," he said. His next goal is to finish up high school and, once he graduates in two years, he wants to go into the Naval Academy and pursue special warfare.
