David Rutherford Show: Trump Legalizes Ibogaine - Navy SEAL Tommy Aceto On Why This Changes Everything
About this episode
David Rutherford interviews former Navy SEAL Tommy Aceto about the impact of President Trump's executive order legalizing ibogaine therapy for veterans.
On April 18, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order that opened the federal door to psychedelic therapy for American veterans — and the man who's been fighting for that breach for seven years sits down with David today. Tommy Aceto is a former Navy SEAL medic of 16 years who lost his trident, his marriage, and access to his children in the same window — and rebuilt his life through ibogaine therapy. In this episode, you'll learn how one dose can erase opioid withdrawal in hours, why the vagus nerve is the missing link in PTSD treatment, and how Tommy, Marcus Capone, Morgan and Marcus Luttrell, Shawn Ryan, and Bobby Kennedy Jr. quietly built the coalition that just changed federal policy. David and Tommy break down the legislative fight in Tennessee and Kentucky, why Big Pharma is racing to shut this down, and what every veteran, first responder, and family member needs to do right now to push their state to act. Tommy Aceto is a former Navy SEAL medic, founder of Hope Project, and one of the lead advocates behind the America for Ibogaine coalition. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford…
