William Leonard Pickard Ibogaine & the New Policy Frontier

In this episode of the JLS Podcast, Bryan Hubbard discusses his path from public service and legal work in Kentucky to his leadership role in advancing ibogaine research and education. Drawing on years of experience in government and policy, Hubbard explains how his work addressing opioid addiction and systemic poverty ultimately led him to explore new approaches to treating substance use disorder and trauma.

The conversation also explores the growing national effort to bring ibogaine into legitimate medical research and clinical development. Hubbard reflects on the emerging partnerships, public investment, and bipartisan interest shaping this field, while outlining the broader mission to expand evidence-based treatment options for people affected by addiction, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury.
