President Donald Trump has directed his administration to speed up reviews of certain psychedelic drugs, including ibogaine. That drug and other psychedelics remain banned under the government’s most restrictive category for illegal, high-risk drugs.

But ibogaine is known to sometimes trigger potentially fatal heart problems.
