Ibogaine

Legal / regulated access

Iboga (Tabernanthe iboga) is unscheduled and declared protected national heritage (national treasure since ~2000); ibogaine is not listed as a narcotic/psychotropic under Gabonese drug law. Supervised access is via traditional Bwiti ceremony / nganga-led retreats, not a Western medical clinic; a 2026 draft decree would formally regulate iboga and ibogaine as strategic heritage.
