Today's LA Weekly came out and their cover story is about how a drug called ibogaine instantly cures addiction. They say people who have been addicted to meth and opiates their entire lives have tried everything and nothing had worked. Then they take ONE dose of ibogaine and they instantly have no cravings. Apparently the drug resets all your tolerances (I wonder if this would work on making MDMA work again on people who have lost it's ability). Anyways as amazing as all that sounds the real thing that caught my attention is that they said that ibogaine is a much more powerful hallucingenic then LSD. They said the affects are exactly like LSD just much more powerful. Considering that the drug has been around and scheduled since 1967 and I have never heard of it I found that claim to be hard to believe. Anybody have any info on ibogaine and can attest or debunk the LSD comparisons?

ibogaine should only be done when administered by a professional who monitors vitals, from what i've read it wreaks havoc on your CNS

Can anyone back this up with references?

i can tell you that it doesnt keep you from wanting a fat $20 bag as soon as you come down. been there, done that. i didnt take it in a controlled environment or in a hospital, but i tried to administer myself in a manner similar to literature although it wasnt possible to measure out dosages like they do in a lab or hospital...

and for me, at best it was a distraction from needing some dope... but as soon as i began coming back into control of my senses, i recognized i was sick and wanted a shot.

maybe its the answer for some, but suboxone is the only miracle drug ive found for opiate withdraws.
