The Impact
Why This Win Matters
Texas made history and shocked the world with the groundbreaking passage of HB 1802, a bipartisan bill marking the first state investment in psychedelic research in U.S. history. VETS played a leading role in driving this legislation forward—leading press conferences, organizing a veteran-led committee hearing, mobilizing our community, and delivering expert testimony to ensure the veteran voice was front and center.
How We Did It
VETS' Role
This legislation was made possible through VETS’ tireless advocacy and support. Honest testimony, authentic engagement, and thoughtful leadership changed what Americans thought was possible from their governments. VETS led press conferences, organized veteran-led committee hearings, mobilized the community, and delivered expert testimony.
From the Record
We're proud to lead the way in veteran-centered research. Texas is setting the standard.
