The Republican Psychedelics Whisperer
W. Bryan Hubbard, a Republican advocate, is driving bipartisan support for psychedelics, particularly ibogaine, by framing them as divinely inspired treatments for addiction and PTSD. His efforts influenced President Trump's executive order to accelerate psychedelic research, despite limited clinical data on ibogaine. Former Texas Governor Rick Perry and Joe Rogan also supported the push.
