Pα+ Psychedelic Bulletin #223: Ibogaine Advocates Court Trump via Rogan; Compass Launches Provider Training Grants; Therapeutic Alliance Debate Reignites

Ibogaine advocacy centers on Rick Perry and Bryan Hubbard, who appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to promote Americans for Ibogaine and push the issue back into mainstream discussion. Compass is also moving into implementation work by launching provider training grants meant to expand capacity in psychedelic services. The bulletin further tracks policy and regulatory signals, including mentions of psychedelics in an FDA budget request and a Colorado rulemaking process that drew complaints over fees and procedures. A major clinical thread is whether “therapeutic alliance” matters in psilocybin therapy, with the bulletin framing the debate as renewed rather than settled and grouping it with other headline developments in research and governance.
