Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness

It creates FDA priority vouchers for breakthrough-designated psychedelics, establishes Right to Try access pathways, funds state-federal collaboration through ARPA-H, mandates interagency data sharing with VA, and requires timely DEA rescheduling of approved psychedelic products.
Addressing Addiction Through the Great American Recovery Initiative
This executive order establishes the White House Great American Recovery Initiative, co-chaired by the Secretary of HHS and a Senior Advisor for Addiction Recovery, to coordinate federal response to substance use disorder.

Increasing Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research
This executive order directs the Attorney General to expedite rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act to facilitate medical research.

Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients

Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First
This executive order directs multiple federal agencies to take steps to lower prescription drug prices, primarily by modifying the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program created by the Inflation Reduction Act, promoting generic and biosimilar competition, expanding drug importation, increasing transparency in pharmacy benefit manager compensation, and conditioning health center grants on providing discounted insulin and epinephrine to low-income patients.
