Trump Psychedelic Executive Order — April 18, 2026
$50M ARPA-H ibogaine + RFK Jr. HHS + Joe Rogan Oval Office signing
On April 18, 2026, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 'Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness,' fast-tracking research and regulatory access to psychedelic drugs including ibogaine, psilocybin, MDMA, and methylone.
The Order mandates allocation of at least $50 million through the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to support ibogaine research and state-level psychedelic programs.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was instrumental in executing the policy, directing the FDA and DEA to clear federal roadblocks and establish 'Right to Try' pathways for these Schedule I compounds. Immediately following the EO, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary issued Commissioner's National Priority Vouchers to corporate operators studying psilocybin and methylone.
Joe Rogan attended the Oval Office signing ceremony, having previously texted the President to lobby for ibogaine's therapeutic efficacy — verifying the absolute integration of the podcast-influencer cadre into apex psychedelic policy formulation.
