Ibogaine at home

So I've come across quite a rare chemical, ibogaine, and I'm very anxious to try this. I currently live in a house with 2 roommates who don't want to do ibogaine themselves because of the length and intensity. I've had experiences in the past with mushrooms, lsd, ketamine, mdma, dxm, mxe, 2ce, 2cp, 2cb, 25i-nbome, 25c-nbome, dmt, and mescaline. I don't think that any of these could prepare me for ibogaine fully but I do expect that the trip would be like this: DMT type visuals, with the body load of ketamine, and the length of nothing I could imagine. I would assume that the trip I would like to take (22mg/kg as adminstered as a high dosage at ibogaine clinics) would last 2-3 days and I'm under the impression that I'll be immobile for most of the trip. Now if I were to do this at home I would have distractions at some point during the trip gauranteed. Does anyone have any advice for me taking this at home? This is something I've always wanted to do, but I'm not sure if I would have a good experience in my environment.
 
This would definitely be covered by my roommates. Thanks for the input though. Note: I understand the risks involved, but it seems most deaths are more closely related to opiate withdrawal than having any kind of connection to the ibogaine itself.

Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting into. I have no experience to draw on, but I would imagine standard heavy trip prep will do you fine. At a high dose, certainly for the first part of the trip I don't imagine you will be interested in distractions. They say you vividly relive parts of your past, especially parts where you may have wronged others. Be prepared for a difficult emotional ride..
 
A trip sitter is an absolute must with high doses.

I don't thik it's anything like ketamine or DMT, and I believe that duration is more like 3-4 days.

Rythmspring has a good ibogaine tripreport here on bluelight, google it up.
 
Are you sure about the duration? Is that including afterglow or just full effect? And I'll absolutely do more research first and then post my results after my journey.:)
 
The journey lasts anywhere from 12 to 36 hours. The aftereffects are powerful and can last up to 10 days. I recommend you get a full health check, especially around your heart and liver functions, before you go ahead with this. Taking a small dose of, say, 3mg/kg to test would also be a good idea. Other than that, best of luck - prepare for what may well be the most intense, introspective journey of your life. I only wish I could do the same.
 
it doesn't last several days, i've never done pure ibogaine but iboga extract and as flickering mentions it lasts from 12-36 hours. Sounds about right with my experiences lasting around 12 hours or so. Nothing like DMT, not even in the slightest. It's a strange one. You'll probably want to lay down the whole trip because it's very nauseating if you move around, so definitely not a party drug or recreational drug. Think of it like a waking lucid dream, it's very surreal. Definitely have a trip sitter who is not afraid to call 911 if shit hits the fan, people have had seizures on ibogaine, do not fuck around with it and give it the proper respect.

DMT is far more fun IMO, ibogaine (or iboga) is just one of those drugs you want to try a few times then that's it, just to say you've done it.
 
Okay, but we should get Rythmspring in here. I'm pretty sure he said he tripped for 3-4 days on 1 gram of pure ibogaine.

But of cause, I guess it also depends on were you put the line between main effects and after effects, doesn't it?

Personally I wouldn't touch it, it sounds real nasty. And it's also pretty damn expensive for the pure extract when considering the dose.

OP, I asume you've read the erowid page on ibogaine?
 
How much extract or chemical you taking; I don't think there is much danger till heroic levels are achieved; given the massive cost and rarity of the product I am assuming you don't have a very large dose?; like robotripping says it's a lie down experience.
 
I have 5 grams on hand as I was thinking it wouldn't be available again for a very long tirme. Cost me several thousand

Note: I would be taking a 250mg dose.

No prices please, and I would definitely go for a low dose trial first before diving into this head first, especially considering the amount you have.

I would also discuss the parameters in which your sitter(s) would call an ambulance or take you to the hospital in the event that you require medical care, having a plan of what to/not to say would also be a good idea.

Take it from me, being in those situations with no plan is absolutely nerve wracking.

Would it be a good idea to have benadyl or thorazine on deck? Maybe some xanax? Or would those cause negative effects? And I've had terrible trips alone with no escape lasting 20+ hours on 15-25mg doses of 2cp. What would be the chances of wanting to stop the trip early? I'm doing this for ritualistic purposes and expect it to be extremely scary. I'm afraid a safety word could end up being useless because what if I'm just freaking out briefly? As had happened to me plenty of times on LSD. Also my friend said he would pike to join me. Would you recommend group journeys?
 
do not take 250mg of pure ibogaine jesus christ. I took around 300mg of iboga extract and that was enough to floor me for 12-16 hours or whatever it was, i can barely even remember, that is the nature of the experience. I can't believe you'd spend 3500 on ibogaine that's insane, just buy the iboga extract so much cheaper and you get all the fun alkaloids.

If you took 1000mg of pure ibogaine then yeah maybe you'd trip for a couple days but that's a fucking insane dose. That'd be a several hundred dollar trip to hell probably. Seriously, be careful with ibogaine, it's not a recreational drug AT ALL. It is not fun nor euphoric. It is for the pure psychonaut or researcher.

I recommend you read up a lot more on it before taking it. Read about the seizures, watch the videos on it, the documentaries, the rituals, there is video on most of this even of someone having a seizure on it and it is scary as fuck. Have a sober trip sitter the whole time who can handle the situation, likely you'll be immobile anyway and have very little touch with reality, so you're going to need a very experienced trip sitter who has great discretion. i don't recommend group journeys, throwing another variable in there isn't going to help.
 
i read quite a bit on it in the past for its use of treating addiction and many users feeling 'born again. i think this could also be helpful for people suffering things like ptsd. ive seen the bark for sale but christ was it expensive, having said that i would prefer a natural growing organism if i ever went down this road to pharma rehab chemical bs. i think setting is really important too.

i dont think people should be using this recreationally, but just my opinion.

Okay, I remembered wrong about the dose. I might be wrong about the duration too.

Here's the trip report I'm refering to IBOGA - moderate experience - Its a long one

It's really good, so definitely worth reading.
 
I used to read a lot about iboga and am still very interested in it . I have no personal experience with it as of yet but based on everything I've read I would advise against a group trip. You say both your friends will tripsit and thats good. So do this one on your own. And let your friend do it a next time where you tripsit for him/her.
 
i've done it three times. It is not nearly as dangerous is everyone is making out to be. I feel much safer on iboga than dmt or ayahuasca. It has a certain feeling about it that just keeps you comfortable. I have several chronic health conditions and was not in good health when I took my first flood. I never felt like I was in danger and it was the most memorable experience i have ever had from a plant.
 
This substance still sits in my freezer. GIE long do expect it could last in the freezer? I have been too terrified to try it as of late to be quite honest.
