What was said
"I texted him on Friday. He showed up to the UFC on Saturday, shook my hand and said it's done. You're kidding. Oh no, I'm not kidding at all. I texted him, he texted me back, are you looking for FDA approval? Sounds good to me."
Joe Rogan revealed he successfully lobbied President Trump via text message to legalize ibogaine treatment for veterans with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. Trump approved the measure within 24 hours, overriding White House staffers who attempted to block it. The treatment, previously only available in Mexico, is now accessible to veterans who risked their lives for the country.
