Where Massachusetts stands
S.1400 and H.4200 would let the Department of Public Health run a pilot for psychedelics in licensed treatment facilities. On 2026-07-08 the House folded a five-year pilot for up to three licensed mental health clinics, using naturally occurring psychedelic materials, into its economic development bill, which passed 148-2. As of late September 2026 the pilot is before the conference committee on that bill. Ibogaine is not named; advocates urge its inclusion. No enacted law found.
Ibogaine legislation has been introduced in a recent session.

For Massachusetts residents: a whole root ceremony on Kauaʻi
Vital Kauaʻi is a legally established church on Kauaʻi’s North Shore. Members from Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts
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 Massachusetts
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.
