“Ibogaine has many benefits with practically no side effects when administered by a professional. Please support this bill so help so many Americans quickly with lasting effects.”
— CORY STONE, Doversupports
“When I studied addition treatments back in the early 90s this was mentioned as an option for treating opioid addiction and crack addiction, which is interesting because there isn’t MAT for cocaine abuse that I am aware of. I didn’t realize it has since been banned until just now.…”
— Margaret Konze, Pembrokesupports
“This legislation raises serious concerns not about the promise of ibogaine research itself, but about the appropriateness of state government as a vehicle for that research.…”
— Cynthia Whitaker, Weareopposes
“The last thing needed for mental health is dosing with hallucinogenic drugs. Ibogaine is a psychoactive indole alkaloid derived from plants such as Tabernanthe iboga, characterized by hallucinogenic and oneirogenic effects.…”
— Daniel Richardson, Nashuaopposes
“After reviewing several articles, it appears that this drug needs to have more testing before it is an accepted treatment.”
— Tami Lanzillo Zeimetz, Gilfordopposes
