SJR10, heard Tuesday in the Senate Legislative Operations and Elections Committee, would call on federal agencies to recategorize psychedelic compounds such as MDMA and psilocybin (known as magic mushrooms) in federal drug law to reflect their therapeutic potential and increase research funding into those compounds.

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.
