In their new study, published in Science Advances, they describe how they mapped the DMT biosynthetic pathway and engineered a type of tobacco plant to produce five different natural psychedelics.

One rare happy surprise coming from the Feds is accelerating research into psychedelics research for mental health. That said, it remains egregious that psychedelics are still scheduled as being highly illegal for personal use.
They undeniably are not without risks but they also can have huge rewards, and those who champion bodily autonomy in other contexts should be consistent across the board.

  the contradiction of championing bodily autonomy in only one area but not all has always bothered me. you either support it or you don’t. we still have work to do on shifting the overton window

If true, I can think of at least 6 people in biotech who would try to GM psychedelic tomacco.
