GOP senator grills surgeon general nominee over her use of psychedelic drugs

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) had some serious questions for surgeon general nominee Casey Means Wednesday during a Senate hearing over her open use of psychedelics.

Collins raised concerns during the hearing about Means' comments on psychedelic drugs, with the lawmaker citing how "addiction and drug overdoses are a major problem for families and communities in my state of Maine and across the nation."

"I am concerned that in your book on 'Good Energy' that you urged readers to consider psilocybin-assisted therapy," Collins said.
