What was said

"He showed up at the UFC event, he shakes my hand, he goes, it's done. And then a week later, we were in the White House with all the vets, all those vets that had taken ibogaine and save their life."

Joe Rogan revealed he met with President Trump in the Oval Office to discuss legalizing psychedelic treatments like ibogaine and psilocybin for veterans and first responders. Trump agreed to the proposal and they're working to reschedule these substances, which were made illegal during the Nixon administration to target civil rights and anti-war movements. The meeting included veterans who successfully used ibogaine treatment.
