The Trump administration is fast-tracking the psychedelic drug Ibogaine for research and approval in the United States.

Proponents of the drug say just one dose can erase drug addiction, significantly improve mental health issues and even heal traumatic brain injuries.

But there have been no long-term clinical studies into the drug’s efficacy or safety.

Sky’s Martha Kelner visits an ibogaine clinic in Mexico to find out more.

From what I know, the UNAFRA pill made in Korea is pretty effective, so it's currently in clinical trials at NIDA

Can it cure Donnys lying and attention seeking addiction ?.

@jamesduffy465 says:

People drink alcohol which is extremely damaging to the body and society. Rather than exercising and eating well, people take Mounjaro and Wegovy for weight loss which seems to cause hair loss as a side effects. We should continue testing this drug which treats mental illnesses and depression, but be open minded as it seems less harmful than the drugs I previously mentioned with very good benefits.

Every few years some nutbag psychiatrist claims whatever drug is going to do something.

Almost always turns out to be BS…

@joeybloggs5931 says:

People have been drinking Ayahuasca for many many years for these and other benefits. Ayahuasca provides DMT, also a Psychedelic compound. DMT – the Spirit Molecule is a great watch.

@bobdidit55 says:

Be careful listening to "scientists" these are the same people that make millions from the drugs that people are addicted to.

Most likely he got shares in the company??

@Esther-Pesta says:

I’ve never heard of this. Is it a synthetic chemical? I think this kind of health issue is better solved with microdosing natural Psilocybin. No side effects but super positive mental health benefits.

Trump also said we should inject bleach at the beginning of the pandemic! Google it! Trump is a lunatic!
