U.S. funds ibogaine PTSD research.
Lecture
U.S. government officials announced new money this week. They will use it to study a special drug called ibogaine.
This funding will help prepare for the first U.S. studies. These studies will look at ibogaine for a condition called PTSD.
Ibogaine comes from a plant found in West Africa. It can cause strong visions and sometimes serious heart problems.
Many people, like veterans, think ibogaine can help with difficult health issues. But studies on the drug were stopped for many years because it was illegal.
The government will get patient data from a company in Mexico. In Mexico, the drug is legal, and this will help speed up new medicine approvals.
