Define "... it works" ?
12 step industry, Suboxone industry (BTW, they lose their patent next month, so cheaper generic will be available), Methadone industry, rehab industry. There's a lot of pressure behind curing it, but as of now there's a lot more pressure behind the pharmaceutical and other industries who profit off addiction.
I really think it's quite absurd to think that the 12-step "industry" (if that's even the right word for it) has any hand in Ibogaine's controlled status. The pharmaceutical companies could play a part in that, as they do with many other substances. From what I've read, Ibogaine can be deadly at the therapeutic dose. This seems like a good enough reason as any to strictly control it. I don't agree that it's right, just trying to get into the heads of those who make these decisions.
With that said, this has been an extremely interesting thread. I'm probably going the Suboxone route to kick my dope habit, but it's always fascinating to read about these "underground" methods of getting clean. If anything, you walk away with an amazing story. Thanks for sharing.
