Law enacted · checked October 26, 2026

Where Oklahoma standson iboga, today.

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.

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

The whole root

A whole root ceremony,held in nature on Kauaʻi.

Most providers hand you a single isolated compound in a medical room. We work with the whole root, the way it has been held for millennia, in a sanctuary on Kauaʻi’s North Shore where the land itself holds you. Private journeys and containers of up to three members.

The root is a powerful and intelligent plant ally, and the science is catching up to it: in Stanford’s 2024 study, a single session eased veterans’ anxiety and depression and sharpened their thinking. Leaders and creators come for the same reasons: clarity, a sharper mind, open creativity, and performance that holds.

The science

What medicineis beginning to confirm.

88%PTSD symptoms, down
87%Depression, down
81%Anxiety, down

Stanford University, the landmark study

In 2024, Stanford published the first controlled clinical study of the root’s primary alkaloid: thirty U.S. Special Operations veterans, one session each. One month on, PTSD, depression and anxiety had fallen by the figures above, disability scores went from 30.2 to 5.1, the level of no disability, and suicidal thinking fell from 47% of the group to 7%. Concentration, memory and processing improved. There were no heart problems. A 2026 follow-up with MRI found their brains measured younger after the session than before.

Questions from Oklahoma

What people askbefore they call.

Is iboga legal in Oklahoma?

Iboga and ibogaine remain Schedule I under federal law. Oklahoma enacted HB 3834, the Breakthrough Therapy Act, in May 2026; it takes effect 2026-11-01 and authorizes state-contracted ibogaine clinical trials with no appropriation. Vital Kauaʻi holds its ceremonies on Kauaʻi within a protected religious context as a legally established church, and welcomes Oklahoma residents. We are glad to speak with you directly about our legal structure.

How do Oklahoma residents take part?

The journey is thirteen weeks. Six weeks of preparation happen from home in Oklahoma: a medical consultation, somatic and nervous-system preparation, and weekly guidance through the member portal. Then one week on Kauaʻi, with two nights in ceremony. Then six weeks of integration back home, with weekly one-on-one calls.

Why the whole root instead of a clinic's isolated compound?

Most providers use a single isolated alkaloid. We work with the whole root, honoring the ancient wisdom in which this plant has been used for millennia, titrated slowly and in continuous dialogue with your body. The full plant carries an intelligence that no single compound can replicate.

Is it safe?

The root has an excellent safety record. The rare serious risks are primarily cardiac, and are most closely associated with the isolated and concentrated alkaloid. We seek to meet the clinical standard of care wherever we can: a medical consultation and health review with our medical provider and medical clearance before ceremony, an EKG on-island before your first ceremony, and our medical provider present overnight at every ceremony.

Who is this for?

Leaders, creators, and people already on a spiritual path who are ready to live their fullest expression, with more clarity, freedom, capacity, and purpose. We screen carefully and honestly. If it is right for you, we will know together.

What does the discovery call look like?

Thirty minutes on Zoom with us. We want to understand what brings you here, what you are carrying, your health history, and what support will serve you best. This is how we begin to know you, so that the container we hold for you is built for who you actually are.
