Educational policy tracking only. This is not legal advice, medical advice, treatment access guidance, or a substitute for checking current law with qualified counsel.
Policy rows distinguish federal status, state bills, research funding, trial authorization, and treatment access. State coverage includes all 50 states and DC, with high-priority rows shown first. A bill, fiscal note, or agency announcement is not clinical proof and does not override federal law unless the source says so.
Source type: LawConfidence: High
United States: 21 CFR 1308.11 federal Schedule I listing for Ibogaine
Establishes the federal baseline that Ibogaine is listed in Schedule I under U.S. controlled-substances regulations. Does not authorize medical treatment, prescribing, clinic access, or state-level exceptions that override federal law.
United States: FDA noribogaine IND-related clinical research action
DemeRx NB may begin a phase I noribogaine hydrochloride study in a closely monitored U.S. clinical setting. Not FDA approval, not proof of safety or effectiveness, and not a general treatment access pathway.
Arizona: HB 2871, appropriation for Ibogaine clinical research study
The proposal would have appropriated state funds for a certified clinical research study on Ibogaine for neurological diseases. This tracker does not treat the proposal as current access or an enacted 2026 program without a newer official status source.
Colorado: HB26-1325, Natural Medicine / Ibogaine research pilot program
Creates an Ibogaine research pilot program lane, allows up to five pilot sites, includes possible rulemaking around administration/manufacturing/use, and adds benefit-sharing language tied to Indigenous communities. Does not make unsupervised Ibogaine use lawful and should not be read as FDA approval, proof of efficacy, or a provider referral pathway.
Kentucky: SB 77, Ibogaine research in the Commonwealth
Establishes a state framework for Ibogaine research and intellectual-property development through a public-private partnership approach. The enacted framework does not create general treatment access or FDA approval.
Louisiana: SB 43, psychedelic-assisted therapy / clinical research language
The bill record describes psychedelic-assisted therapy legislation and has included Ibogaine-related clinical-study discussion in public tracking. Do not treat this as final law or treatment access until final enrollment/signature status is confirmed.
Maryland: SB 527 / HB 1477, Ibogaine Clinical Research Grant Program
Would establish an Ibogaine Clinical Research Grant Program and include it as an authorized use of Opioid Restitution Fund money. Introduced/hearing activity is not enactment and does not authorize treatment access.
Mississippi: HB 314, Ibogaine Drug Development Clinical Trial Act
Creates a state framework for an Ibogaine drug-development clinical trial consortium and coordination with a lead consortium in another state. Does not provide routine clinical access; treatment-administration provisions depend on FDA approval or lawful federal authorization.
Creates and maintains a temporary study committee to evaluate Ibogaine treatment issues and make legislative recommendations. A study committee is not legalization, treatment access, a clinical trial authorization, or FDA approval.
Creates a state framework related to Ibogaine clinical trials and drug-development requirements. Does not make Ibogaine FDA-approved and does not by itself authorize unsupervised treatment or provider referral.
Oklahoma: HB 4293, Veterans Mental Health Innovation Act
Would authorize scientific research and clinical trials related to Ibogaine with registration and immunity language. Introduced/referred language is not enactment and does not create general treatment access.
Would allow an attending physician to provide Ibogaine to a patient for specified disorders and exempt specified use from controlled-substance definition if enacted. As an in-committee bill, it does not create current legal access or override federal law.
