Ibogaine is a powerful psychedelic derived from an African plant that has shown promise for treating opioid addiction, and it recently got high-profile political attention.

Every presidential drug endorsement triggers a safety-desk rebuttal. Ibogaine's known cardiotoxicity is the obvious peg. I'd write it myself.
