Quote
“A lot of regulatory agencies around the world are looking for the United States to go first, particularly the FDA… if MDMA or psilocybin is approved in the U.S., then they’ll approve it in Ukraine.”
Rolling Stone explainer on Trump's April 2026 psychedelics executive order. Doblin on the global ripple effect of a US approval.
Intake
- EventA proposition written from a template on the asset, with a resolution criterion and a named public source, before the outcome is looked up. The same event resolves every person's items on it. Method ›
- Ukraine approves an MDMA or psilocybin drug product
- AreaOne of five topic classes: regulatory decisions, clinical trial outcomes, company and market outcomes, payer and policy, practice adoption. Every event has one area. Method ›
- Regulatory decisions
- DeadlineThe date by which the event must happen for the item to be true. It comes only from the person's words through the anchor table. Method ›
- None stated · undated panelItems with no deadline in the person's words, scored on a uniform 24-month window from the statement date. Part of the headline panel since rules 1.1.0; also shown on its own. Method ›, 24-month window to 21 Apr 2028
- Probability
- 0.90 LexiconThe fixed five-bin table that turns a phrase into a probability. The strongest phrase in the claim sentence decides; coders never read tone. Method › · binOne of five lexicon steps: A 'will' 0.90, B 'probably' 0.70, C 'may' 0.50, D 'unlikely' 0.30, E 'never' 0.10. A stated number goes to the nearest bin for calibration only. Method › A · “if MDMA or psilocybin is approved in the U.S., then they'll approve it in Ukraine”
- Base rateThe probability a published external study gives an event of that class and stage, fixed at intake. Halved when the item window is shorter than the class median time to decision. Never learned from the ledger's own items. Method ›
- None in the table
- Tags
- affiliated, conditional, retrospective
- Coder BCohen's kappa: agreement between two coders beyond chance, from -1 to 1. Reported for admit, event, deadline, bin and asserts from the second-coder match test. Method ›
- admittedA statement that passed intake: sincere, the person's own claim, forward-looking, inside the five areas, and not excluded by a reason code. Only admitted statements become items. Method › · event E-0118 · deadline none · bin A
Registry entry
The Ministry of Health of Ukraine grants a marketing authorisation (state registration) for a drug product whose active ingredient is midomafetamine (MDMA) or psilocybin, for any indication.
TRUE on the date of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine order, or the entry in the State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine, that registers a medicinal product whose active ingredient is midomafetamine (MDMA) or psilocybin for any indication (or the sponsor's announcement of that registration). A clinical trial authorisation, an import permit for a trial, a compassionate-use or named-patient permission, or an approval in another country does not count. FALSE at the deadline when no such registration exists.
Resolution source: State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine (Ministry of Health of Ukraine); sponsor press release
Readings: 'MDMA or psilocybin' is one event ('A or B'); either drug's registration resolves it.; 'They'll approve it' names the Ukrainian regulator through 'in Ukraine'; the deciding body is the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the State Expert Center's recommendation.

Resolution
- Effective deadlineAn item enters the score only when its deadline has passed and the outcome is true or false. A claim already known true still waits for its deadline. Method ›
- 21 Apr 2028
- Outcome1 if the registry event happened on or before the item's deadline, 0 if it did not. Written by a resolver who never sees p. Method ›
- not occurred · checked through 14 Sep 2026
- Resolver note
- I downloaded the full State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine on 2026-09-14: 16,494 product rows. No row names psilocybin, midomafetamine/MDMA, mebufotenin or lysergide in any field. The same file contains 18 ketamine rows and 6 esketamine rows, so the check finds controlled substances when they are registered. Ukrainian reform to date is limited to a proposed rescheduling for research and a national drug strategy goal; Drug Science reports on 2026-05-14 that the rescheduling is still not approved. No Ministry of Health registration order and no sponsor announcement of a registration exists as of 2026-09-14.
