Joe Rogan Experience #2567 - Mariana van Zeller · Aired Oct 16, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Ibogaine is allowed in Texas right now; they're doing it in Texas.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Mariana asks whether ibogaine is allowed; Joe replies that they are doing it in Texas and credits research funding. Texas's March 2026 statement describes a research program, and FDA's October 5 announcement describes investigational development with serious cardiac risks. Research authorization is not general approval for routine treatment. This review did not establish that a Texas dosing trial had actually begun.
