The U.S. Senate Commission has heard “alternative therapies” for military veterans, many witnesses expected to discuss therapeutic benefits of psychedelic.
Field hearing will be excluded from Capitol, including the Commission of Veteran Senate Affairs in Montevallo, Alabama, Friday, veteran and psychedelic mental health treatment.
Witnesses are an officer for veteran issues (VA), coalition of veteran health care coalition Adam Marr, Compass pathways at Steve Levine, University of Alabama in Brian Schiefer (SCI-DI).
“This is a call for action. Veterans don’t break the system,” The marijuana moments said on Thursday Thursday. “VA makes some good things, but what they don’t do well are these new innovations and have approaches to bring them.”
Writing the testimony to be submitted to the committee “alternative therapies” said “, therefore,” therapies are being created or psychedelic, psilocybin, dmt, 5-meo-dmt, Methylon. “
“In general, these therapies of psychedelic therapies are also fast and solid symptoms offer rapid and strong improvements.
“Despite the promising results, psychedelic therapies face the regulatory research barriers” and the access said in the testimony. It also said that “difficult understanding” is why federal federations only offered “minimum” funding to support research on therapeutic benefits of substances.
Most witnesses selected hearing They have somehow been psychedelic research and defense.
For example, Ixse Wiechers, Director General of Veterans Health Administration (VHA), was among the authors of a 2024 report among the authors of research on research and implementation of psychedelic research research on VA 2024.
Levine serves as a director of patients compass, a biotechnology research company specializing in Psychodelics, who helped protect a nomination of the Psilocybin of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Schiefer also promotes the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic medicine as the role of SCI-DI to spread access to alternative therapies for veterans with severe mental and physical conditions with severe mental and physical conditions.
Notable, in the situation of a member of the Audition Committee, Tommy Tuberville (R-al), who has provided support for the Canavy Industry Bank But it is not particularly proactive in the face of psychedelic reform.
The meeting of the Senate is broader in Congress carefully to the subject. On both sides of Congress, as well as key officials of the administration to deform reform.
For example, Vako’s head recently He assumed his role to promote access to psychedelic access to veterans With serious mental health conditions, it was possible to open “wider than thought that door”.
VA Secretary Doug Collins, who He has raised attention to the President Donald TrumpHe said, “We will do the right way,” Ibogaine, MDMA and PSilocybin to face the clinical trials that are being investigated.
Last month, the Secretary also confirmed “Very open” to spread access to psychedelic therapy for veterans-Massionate that people with serious mental health conditions intend to find “healing” ways and not only treat surface symptoms.
Collins pointed out that VA is actively performed through internal or private cooperation in clinical trials “actually results in different substances that are good results”, including One is investigating a supported MDMA-based therapy based on VA Bronx health care “Actually, good results.”
In that conversation, it was also Collins He showed the last clip of the army stamps in Rob O’Neill, who killed Osama bin Laden, The federal government intentionally avoided his theory, because he has prevented access to psychedelic medicine, because cures are more profitable than long-term treatments. Collins replied in response: “I will tell you right now: this secretary of veterans, myself, I want to heal people.”
In the meantime, the GOP-controlled household board approved a change attached to the defense invoice “Progress Report” is required in a Psychedelic Pilot Therapy program For active duty for military service members and veterans.
However, the Congress has been a research proposal for psychedelic research in recent sessions, last week, has blocked a change of bipartisan bipartisa (R-TX) that would provide another $ 10 million.

India’s supply of coir for export remains stable despite processing hiccups due to heavy rains, says Krishna Patil of Maharashtra-based produce export consultancy Krishna International Trade. “Availability is now stable due to improvements in coconut processing infrastructure in southern India. The flow of raw materials is now better managed than before, supporting both domestic consumption and export commitments.”
According to Patil, this year’s production has increased by 5-8% over last year, backed by better processing efficiency, mechanization and planning, with manufacturers also meeting export requirements. He said, “Supply generally appears balanced, but commodity fluctuations, container shortages and strict quality controls on EC, pH and moisture keep India’s coco peat exporters on the lookout. Strong process controls are essential to convert domestic grade material into export-matched quality.”

Patil’s coco peat export markets include Europe, particularly Spain, the Netherlands and Italy, as well as the Middle East, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As he explains, “these markets are in regular cycles of planting and regeneration, so demand remains stable rather than sudden. Importers go beyond spot deals to find long-term partners. Domestically, local buyers often encounter quality differences and do not fully meet export specifications, although more users are now looking for export quality and standards.”

Coir peat is now more expensive to source, which Patil attributes to processing rather than demand. “Prices are 10% higher in recent months, mainly due to raw material shortages, higher logistics costs, slower drying due to two years of erratic rains, and not due to increased demand. Even if demand is stable, limited materials available for shipment and longer processing times are putting upward pressure on prices in the short term.”
Looking ahead, Patil sees demand growing steadily in the coming weeks and months as planting ramps up in key markets in Europe and the Middle East. “Prices may remain firm in the short term due to ongoing processing delays and limited ready stock due to the prolonged rain pattern. A gradual stabilization is expected over the next month or two. Once the weather normalizes, production lead times and material availability should improve, leading to a smooth return to balance.”
