Hi there,
My boyfriend's brother is heavily addicted to heroin. He's at the point now where he wants to stop but the physical withdrawls are just too much for him. We have some Ibogaine and suggested it to my boyfriend's parents as treatment. He said he would do some really extensive research before they came to the conclusion whether it's right for his brother or not.
Now, he’s never experienced any psychedelics… I don’t know him too well but my impression is that he’s only ever been into street drugs (Heroin, Meth, Coke-type drugs) and Marijuana. My boyfriend and I are both experienced in psychedelics from mushrooms to DMT and we're preparing for our first and only Ayahuasca experience. The owner of the Ibogaine has experienced everything from mushrooms to Ayahuasca, having done all of them several times. So we have no doubt in our abilities to be able to support him on a psychedelic level and help to keep him calm. His mother also wants to be there during the experience and talk him through his issues.
I've started taking notes... I have things like the origin, uses in other countries, legality in this country and general side effects but I'm still a little unclear about the deeper aspects of the side effects. I also understand that it helps the physical withdrawls but not the mental ones. And also that it can be dangerous if you’ve ingested any drugs (at all) or food with CP450 because of the receptors in the brain that it works on.
Has anyone tried it? Known anyone that underwent treatment in a Canadian or Mexican clinic? I'd like to get some knowledge, experiences and opinions from real people as well as the websites I've been researching. I also have about a page of information from the book "Plants of the Gods" which was my text book in my Anthropology of Drugs class.
Also another question- where does Ibogaine stand in the intensity of the level of experience? From my experience and knowledge, it goes: mushrooms, LSD, Mescaline, Peyote, DMT, Ayahuasca… so where does Ibogaine stand in that list?
Anyone’s and everyone’s input would be the most helpful for us in deciding if this is the right thing for him!
