Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Speaker of the Texas House Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) announced last week Texas’ research program into ibogaine, a psychoactive drug that reportedly aids in treatment for those suffering from brain injury, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The announcement stated that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) reported no drug companies had yet to submit proposals regarding the plant drug ibogaine meeting “the law’s requirements and standards to receive state funds and begin clinical trials.”
