Beond’s co-founder, Tom Feegel, is in Austin, Texas, standing alongside Beond Service alumni and veteran advocates to support HB 3717, a groundbreaking bill introduced by Rep. Cody Harris.
This legislation seeks $50 million in state funding for FDA-approved clinical trials of ibogaine, a potential game-changer for PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), opioid use disorder, and other mental health conditions.
Texas is once again at the forefront of medical innovation, building on the momentum of HB 1802 to explore psychedelic therapies.
With support from the Texas Ibogaine Initiative and the American Ibogaine Initiative, this bill could revolutionize addiction and mental health treatment, paving the way for safe, evidence-based access in the U.S.
Beond’s Commitment to Veterans and Ibogaine Research
“We are here in Austin to support the Texas Ibogaine Initiative with alumni from Beond Service,” says Tom Feegel. “Beond Service is our nine-week, zero-cost program dedicated to helping veterans who need treatment for PTSD and TBI receive ibogaine in the best possible way.”

The Texas Ibogaine Initiative is supported by the REID Foundation and led by W. Bryan Hubbard, the Executive Director of the American Ibogaine Initiative. Their mission is to help lawmakers allocate $50 million for research into ibogaine—a treatment that has already demonstrated transformative potential but requires formalized data to advance FDA approval for use in the United States.
“This couldn’t be more historic or more important at this moment”
The approval of HB 3717 could mark a turning point for ibogaine therapy in the U.S., providing a structured path toward integrating this powerful treatment into mainstream medical care.
With growing bipartisan support for psychedelic research, Texas continues to lead the way in rethinking mental health and addiction treatment solutions.
