The legal map
Where ibogaine treatment is actually available
In the United States, ibogaine is a Schedule I controlled substance: no clinic can legally administer it, and anyone offering it inside the US is operating outside the law — a safety red flag in itself. Texas's $50 million IMPACT initiative is funding ibogaine research, but clinical availability is years away.
Mexico is where most legitimate ibogaine treatment happens. Ibogaine is not on Mexico's controlled substances schedule, which means licensed physicians can administer it in clinical settings — legally, with cardiac monitoring, medical staff, and emergency protocols. That legal clarity is why serious providers, including MindScape, operate here.
A handful of other jurisdictions (New Zealand, and case-by-case programs elsewhere) allow prescribed or supervised use, but access is limited and waiting lists are long. For most people in North America, the practical, legal, and safest answer is a medically run clinic in Mexico — the question then becomes which one.
Choosing safely
How to vet any ibogaine provider — including us
Cardiac Screening Before Money
Ibogaine affects the heart's QT interval. A legitimate provider requires an EKG and medical review before accepting you — not after your deposit. If screening is optional, walk away.
A Physician In The Room
Not on call, not nearby: a doctor present with continuous cardiac monitoring through the session, and ACLS-capable staff.
Honest Medical Exclusions
Good clinics turn people away — certain cardiac conditions, medications, and histories make ibogaine unsafe. A clinic that accepts everyone is a warning sign.
Transparent Pricing
Published, per-person prices with what's included. See our transparent pricing — programs from $7,500, every number public.
