It is going to be signed, actually has been legally signed by Governor Reeves, Governor Tate Reeves.
Tate Reeves.
And Governor Perry and I have asked for a special signing ceremony with Representative Creekmore, his legislative leaders there, to stand in Jackson, Mississippi and see that signed into law as a matter of ceremonial formality.
What a wonderfully redemptive opportunity that we have here to shepherd.
And we hope and pray that our organization can be sufficiently resourced and sufficiently engaged over the next three years so that we can see this process to conclusion.
I'll mention a couple of others since we're talking about the capacity to make this a broad-based humanitarian mission that improves the human condition.
Just Friday, before traveling down here on Sunday, I received a letter from the government of Gabon naming Americans for Ibogaine as its official partner for the advancement of Iboga medicine globally.
Gabon has 2.3 million people.
It's got 100,000 square miles of territory that's the modern Garden of Eden.
I had the opportunity to take a trip there from, and I mean trip as in the geographic sense, not the Iboga trip, though I hope that that will be on the agenda in the ceremonial way sometime within the next year.
We traveled there from January 6th to January 20th, and if someone would have said, when you go to Gabon, you're going to have one of the most down-home experiences you've ever had in my life, it would have blown my mind, but it was a
fabulous journey, one in which they were jubilant about our ability to demonstrate that what they call the sacred wood, in fact, is one of the most scientifically advanced substances that has perhaps ever been discovered.
And we're honored that the government would choose us as their partner to move this forward.
On Monday, after a conference call with Chief Gary Batten,
I can confirm that the Choctaw Nation will seek to join Texas in the expansion of this Ibogaine drug development trial onto their sovereign territory as the third largest Native American tribe in the country.
On April the 7th, I will be traveling to Durant, Oklahoma, for what is being called the Intertribal Council Meeting of what they describe as the Five Civilized Tribes.
That's their name, not mine.
This is a gathering of the leadership of the Choctaw, the Chickasaw, the Cherokee, the Muskegee, and the Seminole.
We expect a passage of a resolution that I will be there to lobby for, where the five civilized tribes will declare their solidarity with Americans for Ibogaine for the integration
of this divine emancipator into the U.S.
