Where Oklahoma stands

HB 3834 lets the State Department of Health, subject to available funds, contract with a drug developer for multistate ibogaine clinical trials aimed at FDA approval. The developer must already hold an ibogaine drug development agreement with at least one other state, match the state's investment, and report quarterly on trial progress and finances; the department reports to the governor and legislative leaders by December 1 each year. The act creates the Ibogaine Development Revolving Fund for appropriations, grants, private gifts and the state's share of intellectual property proceeds, and protects licensed clinicians from discipline for recommending ibogaine trials. It carried no funding. Gov. Stitt signed it 2026-05-12, and it takes effect 2026-11-01. It was supported by the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes.

A law touching ibogaine or iboga is on the books.

Funding: No appropriation; revolving fund created for future allocations, federal funds or private gifts.

For Oklahoma residents: a whole root ceremony on Kauaʻi

Vital Kauaʻi is a legally established church on Kauaʻi’s North Shore. Members from Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma

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 Oklahoma

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.
