Mental health watchdog says adding psychedelics as approved mental health treatment will fuel more acts of drug-induced violence in the community. CCHR cites a recent incident where an off-duty pilot had taken psilocybin (magic mushrooms) because of his worsening mental health condition, 48 hours before boarding a flight. [13]Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International, says, “Now the FDA and psychiatry’s plan is to add psychedelic drugs to the mix, increasing the potential for more acts of senseless violence in the community. There should be no FDA or official approval of any psychedelic drugs for the treatment of mental disorders. cit., PLOS One, 24 Oct. 2023
