The FDA declined to approve MDMA as a PTSD treatment, which would have been a big step forward for psychedelics use in mental health care, saying further study is needed. But the agency did approve a nasal spray to treat severe allergic reactions as an alternative to shots like EpiPen.

Stellantis will lay off 2,450 factory workers this year as it phases out an older version of its Ram pickup truck.

Scams via Zelle, the payment service you turn to when you run out of wedding gift ideas, are the subject of an ongoing inquiry by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Wall Street Journal reported this week. Zelle was founded in 2017 by seven of the biggest US banks to compete with peer-to-peer payment apps like Venmo and Cash App. It outgrew its rivals but became a magnet for scams, which customers typically don’t get reimbursed for.

The encouraging results put the currently illicit substance on a path to becoming a prescription drug if US regulators approve it for widespread clinical use.
