I want to say that I'm here because of the man to my left.

Brian Hubbard and former Texas Governor Rick Perry came on my podcast.

They told me how impactful this medicine is.

And having that conversation with them, millions of people got a chance to hear their story,

hear the stories of all the different people that have had life-changing experiences from it.

And I want Brian to be able to speak about this.

Brian, please.

Thank you, sir.

I heard that, Joe. You have no trouble speaking.

Is that no trouble speaking?

I want to assure you that my presence here is the most concrete affirmation that God has a wonderful sense of humor.

Thank you. Thank you.

Federal prohibition of psychedelic medicine in America is over.

On the 250th year of our nation's founding,

everyone who has fought for this day through decades of monumental struggle,

sacrifice, and suffering can now declare a seminal victory for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,

rights we bear as images of our eternal creator,

whose essence is almighty, eternal, unconditional love for each and every one of us.

This is the end of the beginning.

We have moved mountains, yet there are mountains to move.

Government systems which have relentlessly suppressed psychedelics

are the same systems which will now manage their emergence.

We dare not let our guard down for one second

and be higher-trigger ready to impose accountability for incompetence, obstruction, or failure.

Credit belongs, for credit is due.

With this executive order, President Trump has delivered an epic victory for all humanity.

I thank him for having the courage to make this happen,

and my mission brother, Joe Rogan, for having the spine to make the ask.

To our brothers and sisters in Gabon,

you have our deepest gratitude for your stewardship of the sacred tree grown for the healing of nations.

I will do my best to deliver the respect and honor you deserve for helping heal this nation.

It is my joy to deliver these good titans unto the meek,

which will hopefully bind up the broken-hearted,

proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison to all who are bound.

God bless you, and God bless America.

I want to tell everybody how this happened.

I sent President Trump some information.

We have a gigantic opiate problem in this country, obviously.

In 2024, more than 80,000 people died of overdoses.

It's a horrible number.

And there's more than 5 million people that are addicted to opiates right now in this country.

With one dose of Ibogaine, more than 80% of people are free of that addiction.

With two doses, it's more than 90%.

I sent him that information.

The text message came back,

sounds great, do you want FDA approval? Let's do it.

It was literally that quick.

These drugs are illegal not because they're harmful.

They're illegal because of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act

that was passed by the Richard Nixon administration.

They did it to target the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement.

It's not because these drugs harm people.

And for 56 years, we've lived under those terrible conditions.

We're free of that now.

We're free of that now thanks to all these people that you see next to me

and thanks to President Trump.
