Ibogaine, One of the Most Promising and Perilous Psychedelics for Addiction (time.com)

Iboga is in a whole other class than classical psychedelics. It is actually similar to the dissociative Salvia, in that it binds to the Kappa opioid receptor.


When I hear about Ibogaine I think of Hunter S Thomson spreading a rumour during the 1972 presidential campaign that Ed Muskie was taking it.

The documentary, I'm Dangerous with Love details Ibogaine's benefits - https://vimeo.com/147653704


At least one of the human trials is taking place currently. I hope good things come of it.

Can’t help but express sadness that it’s taken this long for serious adoption simply because there’s little money to be made in an unpatentable plant.


Shouldn’t the post have (2021) in the title?
