Maine Ibogaine ban status: ban in force
Maine lists ibogaine as a Schedule X hallucinogenic drug (17-A M.R.S. 1102(2)(C)(2)). Maine Schedule X lists hallucinogens as named drugs “or their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers” and has no “any material, compound, mixture or preparation which contains” lead-in. Tabernanthe iboga root bark is not named; it is reached only through its ibogaine content by interpretation. Noribogaine is not named. No Maine ibogaine research or funding law was found for 2025-2026. Federally Schedule I (see the federal page).
