The bill would create a state trust fund called the “medicinal psilocybin treatment program” that would be administered by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The truth is that Ms. Tai is taking the pen away from Facebook, Google and Amazon, who helped shape the previous policy, according to a research paper published earlier this year by Wendy Li, a doctoral candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who used to answer the phone and interact with lobbyists at the U.S. trade representative’s office.
UW-Madison researchers are also studying psilocybin to treat people with opioid and methamphetamine use disorders, using drugs made by Usona, in a tranquil treatment room at UW’s School of Pharmacy.

Foreign policy analysts previously told PolitiFact National fungibility is a legitimate concern in this case.
However, Andrew Kydd, a University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor, added a caveat to fungibility.“This still frees up their budget constraint to spend other money on other things,” Kydd wrote in an email to us. “But by this logic anyone who buys something at Walmart is supporting the Chinese nuclear arsenal.”
Jennifer Gaddis, a school nutrition expert at UW-Madison who works with the Madison School District, said these participation rates raise some red flags.
As the second-largest school district in the state, in a city that prides itself on local food options, Gaddis said she thinks it’s a “failure” that administration and the community are not “demanding more.”
She served in leadership positions in the athletic departments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of Oklahoma, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and most recently, as the Assistant Chancellor and Director of Athletics at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
