Rick Perry is working to seek FDA approval for ibogaine and MDMA therapies to treat substance use and trauma in veterans.

“former Governor Rick Perry of Texas, who is self-described knuckle-dragging Republican, he said that, I'm not saying that about him, he says it every time, has fully embraced ibogaine, and heart medicine, it's sometimes called MDMA therapies as well and has been really working with people on the Democratic side of the aisle to try and get FDA approval for this stuff in the United States, for the treatment of veterans and other people with substance use and severe trauma issues first.”
