Just because, I s'pose I'll answer this. I was speaking with my normal (for Holla Forums) voice of irony, but you just didn't know enough to get it.
Ibogaine isn't really a mind-confusing psychedelic at all. I think of it as a dreaming drug, though a very, very, very strong one. People have died from taking ibogaine. I nearly did. Should I ever take it again. I might die from it. It's a very serious drug, not a party drug, not something someone can be addicted to.
Additionally, a whole underground industry has arisen that helps people taking ibogaine as a last-resort way to overcome their addictions, esp. to opiates. Ibogaine breaks the addiction cycle.
If you take a heroic dose of ibogaine once, then (provided you've survived…) you won't want to take it again for a long time. It's just way, way, way too intense.
To reiterate, ibogaine's uses are two-fold:
1 - physically: It helps alleviate withdrawal, interrupting the addictive cycle, and cleansing the body, esp. the liver. If you ever want to take ibogaine, it's a really good idea to be a clean as possible first, and then to go on a juice fast for a few days, only eating some light meal (perhaps half an avocado) right before taking it.
2 - mentally: Don't expect wall-melting or confusing changes in one's perceptions, but rather powerful dreams of a psychological nature… when you close eyes to sleep. Later, depending on the strength of the dose and your susceptibility to it, you may see psychic perceptions superimposed upon your normal perceptions. Ibogaine's primary use is as an initiation into adulthood. One might have an NDE (as I did), meet one's dead ancestors, or relive ego-forming traumas of the past. What you do with ibogaine is really kinda up to your intentions. It doesn't confuse your mind, but rather helps you dream.
In any case, never, never take ibogaine lightly. An ibogaine trip is a life-transforming event, a true initiation experience, and should be treated with the utmost respect. This is one drug that cannot be used as a party drug, but can be used to treat those who use party drugs.
Oh, and it's illegal in the US, but not in Canada, Mexico, or parts of Europe.
