Reply #40: Ibogain

[SoCalifer]

There's another drug that most people haven't heard about; it's a powerful psychoactive hallucinogen called "Ibogain". What some people around the world and in the counter culture have known about this drug for years, is that this drug has the properties of curing addictions.

Other strong hallucinogens such as LSD, peyote, and magic mushrooms have also shown limited properties of alleviating addictions, but not to the degree that Ibogaine has.

So if you know someone who is strung out on hard drugs or can't get off alcohol, and might be interested in a one time treatment. This may be a possible avenue for them to research to see if it's for them.

What is Ibogaine?

Ibogaine is a naturally occurring medication obtained from the root bark of the shrub Thabernante iboga, indigenous of West Africa, where it has been used as a sacrament in religious ceremonies and to mitigate thirst and hunger for hundreds of years. Ibogaine has anti-addictive properties, interrupting the symptoms of the opioid withdrawal syndrome and reducing drug craving for extended periods of time, allowing an addict to detoxify with minimal symptoms. Ibogaine appears to reset the brain to a pre-addictive state. Ibogaine has been studied at the University of Miami in an FDA approved Phase 1 clinical trial.

"alleviating drug craving and diminishing the possibility for relapse..."

At the Ibogaine Association we administer Ibogaine Hydrochloride (98% pure Ibogaine) orally in capsule form based on body weight and the type of drug the patient has been using. This medication is non-addictive and is usually administered only once.
Ibogaine is unavailable in the United States due to the ongoing ‘War on Drugs’. Ibogaine cannot be purchased in pharmacies and it cannot be shipped to the United States. We do not sell Ibogaine; we only administer Ibogaine under the care of a physician.
