Most of the experiences I read about 'clinic' settings seemed to go out of their way to make it more of a retreat or vacation.
The one experience I read where the person totally knocks ibogaine and says it's a scam to bilk people out of their money (she was in W/d 15 hours after coming down, and says she never experienced any hallucinations) talks about how she raised it by turning tricks, was still banging dope while on methadone, she seems totally ignorant about what she was taking part in and said that 2/3 of her friends who took it said it worked but at the time of writing had overdosed on opioids and the third said he's so happy and clean while staring at you with pinned pupils.
She appears to have thrown money at the first person to offer it to her with absolutely no knowledge of what was happening, she did it all in a freaking hotel room with a stranger. She was doing one more bit of dope before starting it, and the guy busted into the bathroom and bitched her out for 15 minutes, and then when she was in w/d about to start seizing she begged him for 5$ for a cab fare and he told her to fuck off (her nutty story
can be found here - I've found far more positive experiences where people's lives were changed than negative, and the detox places cost enough that I would think if everyone was having negative/non-working experiences it would be shared quite a bit).
Crazy, but I bet for every legitimate place concerned about your well-being (though they still want their $), there is another who don't give a shit. One I saw in Mexico seemed nice, but honestly, shelling out 4k (just a guess, it might have been 75% more than that) to then pay to fly to Mexico and do this all in one of the most violent and drug ridden federal states seems stupid on the face. I bet it's a front to kidnap you, and they know you have money if you can pay 4k for ibogaine. I bet they advise you to get kidnapping insurance first or something lol. But really, the worst kidnapping victim would be someone in pure opioid W/D. Going through customs in W/D (back to the US) I honestly looked pathetic and didn't care if I were whisked one island over to Guantanamo lol - I was in the Bahamas. The guy didn't look twice at me, I suppose no one can really fake looking that miserable.
Honestly, I think it's legal in Canada, and if I had to go anywhere it would be there, and then I'd just buy the drug. I think the rest of the 4k would be better spent taking friends who were clean to be your sitters and the remainder to rent a little cabin on a lake or something, and creating your own set and setting. This seems an awesome way to go if you can't get it here in the US, and honestly I've never had a dealer go "I got some acid, some shrooms, oh and a bunch of ibogaine. Man this ibogaine is moving FAST" lol. Then you would also not have easy access to drugs in the Canadian countryside, just my thoughts.
Xorkoth, how was your trip with family to the grand canyon?
It often makes me sad to think about not being able to vacation somewhere, but really I can just take loperamide with me and be 100%, but I'd need enough for the vacation, and I'd probably be limited from going to strict Muslim majority countries where loperamide is probably even looked upon with suspicion, like places where people have served 10 years in jail because they found a single poppy seed in their luggage. Luckily the only countries like that I want to see, like Turkey or Jordan aren't near as fucking crazy.
