"With one dose of Ibogaine, more than 80% of people are free of that. With two doses, it's more than 90%. I send him that information. The text message came back, Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it!"

Joe Rogan recounted a text exchange with President Trump regarding psychedelic medicine at a White House event. He highlighted the opioid crisis, noting over 80,000 overdose deaths in 2024 and more than five million people addicted to opiates. Rogan claimed that Ibogaine could help over 80% of users with one dose and over 90% with two doses. He emphasized that the illegality of these drugs stems from the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, not their harmfulness.
