Earlier psychedelic bills are historical: SB 58 originally listed ibogaine and the Assembly removed it; SB 519 would have convened a working group covering ibogaine.

Timeline
AB 1103 signed: faster state review of psychedelic research
Gov. Newsom signed AB 1103 (Ward), sponsored by Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions. Through 2028-01-01 it lets deputized members of the Research Advisory Panel of California expedite review of federally authorized Schedule I and II research, including studies of psilocybin, ibogaine and MDMA, and exempts DEA-registered psychedelic studies for veterans at VA facilities from panel review.
SB 58 amended to remove ibogaine
Reporting states the Assembly removed ibogaine from SB 58, which covers psilocybin, DMT and mescaline. Year inferred from bill history; not confirmed on the legislature site.

For California residents: a whole root ceremony on Kauaʻi
Vital Kauaʻi is a legally established church on Kauaʻi’s North Shore. Members from California join a thirteen-week journey: six weeks of preparation from home, one week on the island with two held nights with the whole root in ceremony, and six weeks of integration after. Guides, a medical provider, somatic practitioners and integration coaches walk with each member through all of it.
Preparation, from California
A medical consultation and health review, somatic and nervous-system preparation, and weekly guidance through the member portal. All of it happens from home, on Zoom, before travel.
Ceremony, on Kauaʻi
Two nights with the whole root in nature, one-on-one or in a container of up to three, with experienced guides and the medical provider present overnight. An EKG on-island comes first.
Integration, back in California
Six weekly one-on-one calls with an integration coach, plus somatic sessions, so what the root shows you becomes how you live, lead and create at home.

How this tracker is kept
- Each state is checked against legislature records, agency releases and published reporting, and carries the date it was last checked. Every development links to its source.
- “No known activity” means the state was checked on the date shown and no ibogaine-specific law, bill, funding or task force was found.
- The directory lists organizations and public offices with their own websites. Listing points readers to them and does not endorse them.
- This tracker is offered for education and does not constitute legal or medical advice. Ibogaine and iboga remain Schedule I substances under federal law. See the medical disclaimer.
