Psychedelic drugs were outlawed by the federal government more than 50 years ago, and for most of that time, the idea of making them legal again was politically unthinkable. But over the past few years, even conservative lawmakers have begun supporting efforts to bring psychedelics back for use under certain conditions.
This week on Reveal, we attend the largest psychedelic drug conference. We meet veterans who decided not to wait for legalized psychedelic-assisted therapy. And we join a woman from Oakland, California, as she documents her journey with ketamine.

The story of Idaho dentist John Goodrich was at the center of our collaboration with The Associated Press about how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints protects itself from sexual abuse allegations. Goodrich’s daughter accused the ex-bishop of sexual abuse, starting when she was 9.
Now he has been arrested in Virginia following a grand jury indictment on multiple felony charges, including forcible rape, forcible sodomy and aggravated sexual battery by a parent of a child.
