Another bill clears to study psychoactive drugs to treat vets with PTSD

The Texas Legislature has approved a study that will look at using psilocybin as a treatment for veterans struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Psilocybin is the active ingredient in so-called "magic mushrooms." This is the first of its kind study on the use of these psychedelics on veterans with PTSD.

It will be 20 years since 9/11 this September and the impact of war rarely stays overseas.

"We lost so far 114,000 veterans to suicide because of PTSD since 2001," said Texas Rep. Alex Dominguez, D-Brownsville.

Dominguez says the current treatments for PTSD are not doing enough.
