Are psychedelics legal in the US?
As of December 2022, only ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, is federally legal in the United States (See What is Ketamine?). However, every provider on the TARA Mind platform can legally practice and work with individuals undergoing psychedelic therapy in their specific region or country of operation.
