There's a decent chance that a provision allowing research into or piloting ibogaine treatment for veterans gets attached to the 2027 US military budget or veterans' funding bill. Ibogaine is a powerful psychedelic being studied for addiction and trauma, and veterans are the most politically safe group to fund it for. If this passes, it would be the first time the federal government puts real money behind ibogaine.
Sharpened resolution criteria: counts if the provision appears in committee-reported or chamber-passed text, not merely as a filed amendment. Texas's state-funded ibogaine research program proved the model and created bipartisan precedent; the veteran-opioid frame is the only psychedelic vehicle moving in this Congress (consistent with the rider-only consensus prediction above); war powers debates keep veteran care salient. Confidence trimmed from 0.71 to 0.68 — the agent's upgrade from 0.65 was directionally justified, but NDAA conference dynamics routinely strip novel provisions.
