Texas is the latest state to embrace psychedelic therapy research for mental health treatment

I’m not familiar with ibogaine but that’s great, I’m impressed that such a conservative state is developing an open mind about these things after decades of vilification of psychedelics:

In June, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed legislation that will provide up to $50 million dollars to research ibogaine, a psychoactive compound derived from the iboga shrub native to Central West Africa.

“Texas is home to more veterans than any other state in the U.S. Many struggle with things like depression, PTSD, and opioid use disorder. A therapy that has shown great promise in treating those conditions is ibogaine,” Abbott said at the bill signing ceremony, surrounded by lawmakers, advocates, and researchers.

Good for Texas, hope for people struggling.
