We call on the Knesset to pass landmark legislation — modeled on the Texas Ibogaine Initiative — to position Israel as the global center of ibogaine research, treatment, and healing.

"One study demonstrated one of the most significant outcomes ever seen for treatment of combat-veteran PTSD."
— Stanford University, Ibogaine Study 2023
Israel has long been a world leader in medical innovation — from cannabis research to battlefield medicine. Today, a new frontier demands our attention: ibogaine, a natural psychoactive compound derived from the African iboga plant, is showing extraordinary promise for PTSD, addiction, traumatic brain injury, and treatment-resistant depression.
After October 7th, our nation faces an unprecedented mental health crisis. Tens of thousands of combat veterans, former hostages, and civilians carry invisible wounds. Conventional treatments are failing them. Ibogaine is not.
In 2023, Stanford University published a landmark study showing that a single ibogaine treatment, combined with magnesium, dramatically reduced PTSD, depression, and anxiety in special operations veterans. Texas moved first. Now Israel must lead.
Thousands of IDF soldiers and October 7th survivors urgently need treatments that work beyond SSRIs and talk therapy.
Ibogaine has shown the ability to interrupt opioid and alcohol dependence, in some cases after a single treatment session.
Israel's research ecosystem — world-class hospitals, biotech infrastructure, and regulatory agility — is uniquely positioned to lead.
Becoming the global hub for ibogaine treatment and IP development could generate billions in medical tourism and biotech exports.
In 2023, Texas passed HB 1802 — a first-of-its-kind bill establishing a research program on ibogaine and other psychedelic compounds for treating veterans. We call for a Knesset bill that goes further, establishing Israel as the definitive global leader.
Your signature calls on Knesset members to introduce and support legislation modeled on the Texas Ibogaine Initiative — positioning Israel as the world's leading nation in ibogaine science, medicine, and healing.
