The DEA (the US agency that controls which drugs are legal and illegal) is not moving to change ibogaine's status as a banned substance anytime soon. Changing a drug's legal category takes years of scientific review, not political headlines. Ibogaine also carries a real risk of dangerous heart rhythm problems, which makes regulators move even more slowly.
Political headlines don't change controlled-substance scheduling. The interagency process is slow and evidence-gated; cardiotoxicity alone blocks fast action.
