Bryan Hubbard JD
Bryan Hubbard is a lawyer and the former chairman and executive director of the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission (KOAAC). Tasked with allocating an $842-million settlement from opioid manufacturers after the courts found that the products they sold contributed to thousands of deaths in the state, Bryan and other members of the commission were appointed by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron in June 2022.
In just 18 months, Bryan’s work put ibogaine in the spotlight.
After learning about this psychedelic’s anti-addictive properties in summer of 2022, he brought the idea of spending a portion of the settlement funds on ibogaine research to AG, and in May 2023 they announced commission’s intention to allocate $42 million to a public-private Iboga research partnership
