The Misidentified Variable: Completing the Psychedelic Medicine Reform Agenda
Submitted to federal scientific and regulatory agencies on April 18, 2026.
What this report does
Seven concrete recommendations to the federal scientific and regulatory apparatus for advancing psychedelic medicine research in parallel with the Executive Order on Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness — with specific attention to the neurodivergent population that existing reform efforts have overlooked.
Note on relationship to position papers
This policy report draws directly from The Misidentified Variable (April 2026), Cedar Institute's foundational position paper. The position paper establishes the scientific and philosophical argument; this report translates that argument into federal policy recommendations. Both documents are available on the Research page.Cedar Institute policy reports are published as the research program advances. To be notified of future releases, contact [email protected].
