We need the DEA to get on board.

Well, we need the DEA to get on board, but we need one man to get on board.

And that man is the President of the United States.

We're here to recognize America in her 250th year.

25 of those 250, now 10% of time, has been spent at war.

And there are conditions unique to war that only this medication can responsibly address in a way that nothing else can.

If there is an opportunity to improve the human condition at scale, particularly for those who are even right now being marched in to go and fight yet another war,

taken executive action that would direct ibogaine to be moved to schedule two that the provisions of the halt fentanyl act be applied to the texas multi-state ibogaine drug development trial that the dea be directed to interpret federal right to try so as to not exclude schedule one medications that are in drug development and that it be appropriately interpreted so that any medication that makes it through phase one

can be accessed by a person with a life-threatening condition, and then directed that federal scientific research agencies, whether they be within Health and Human Services or the Pentagon, come alongside the states in direct partnership to fund and foster the accelerated pharmacological development of Ibogaine so that this medication can make its way all the way through the FDA's process with their supportive guidance within three years or less.

It is the moonshot of our time.

And if there's a humanitarian legacy to be left for the ages by a president who very much wishes to have a legacy that is well reflected upon by posterity, this is one of the most monumental opportunities he has to help folks at scale in a way that no president perhaps has before.

We're at an inflection point in history, not just for this country, but globally.

He mentions the Kentucky experience.

Before we rolled out the Abigail Initiative there and ran the opioid, stood up the opioid commission, I thought our first job was to go and to hear from the people of the state.

You know, we were getting a billion dollars in settlement funds.

This money was coming to us because thousands of their family members had died.

So recognizing that confidence in government is at an all-time low, I thought it was important to go out and say, hey,

Here's who we are.

Here's the job we've been given.

Here's the resource we have.
