Have you seen what has transpired today in the USA? This is revolutionary and we finally did it! Ibogaine is going to be FDA approved for the treatment of drug dependency, PTSD, depression, etc. Also, this will soon open the doors for more psychedelic therapy options in the United States 🇺🇸

BREAKING NEWS:

An executive order has been signed today in order to give Ibogaine FDA approval to treat opioid addiction. There are over five million people in the USA today who are habitually dependent to opioids. Research shows with a single dose of Ibogaine more than 80% of people are free of that addiction, and with two consecutive doses the figure is above 90% successful in addicts. Ibogaine is also effective in treating other drug dependencies as well such as: alcohol, stimulant abuse, etc (basically any dependency you can think of). These drugs are illegal not because they’re harmful instead they’re illegal due to the 1970 Controlled Substance Act that was passed by then president Richard Nixon, and they did it to target the Civil Rights movement, and the Anti-War movement. It’s not because these drugs harm people. Arbitrarily lumping all psychedelic substances into Schedule I has only prevented scientific and medical research into these near-miracle drugs while creating a huge stigma towards those pioneers who know better. Watch the full video straight through for more information, or feel free to PM me if you wish to discuss this more.

The right thing done by the worst person for the dumbest reasons... :sneaky: Very difficult not to see this as a slightly pyrrhic victory given the context in which it's happening.

I guess it should be somewhat worthy of celebration, and we should be grateful for small victories, though, even if quite honestly I'm finding it hard to see if the obvious potential benefits to this have any hope of being realized while the USA and humanity generally seem to be so hopelessly in the grip of the mass delusion that is Trumpian neofascism. I wonder if this has the potential even to tarnish the pro-psychedelic movement a little given the people in that video and even just that thumbnail are very much part of the virulently anti-science, anti-vax, acetaminophen-causes-autism, crowd. Hopefully that's just needlessly pessimistic doomer thinking, though...

I bet Joe Rogan manipulated this and said to trump "sir, the crazy democrats don't want this as everyone will see how crazy they are...." Then trump "where do I sign?"

Even a bull in a china shop does some good. But the spirit of the whole psychedelic movement is missing. But ok, thanks Joe for getting that through.
 
Honestly this shit is on the same tier as north korea asking Iran if they want a nuke to blow up Isreal, like somebody you hate just made a great point, type shit.
 
Glad I'm not the only one to feel a bit weird about this news...

I really wanna be able to celebrate this kinda thing obviously. But it's like... I guess back in 1930s Germany the moral panic of prohibition hadn't kicked off yet and there weren't so many drugs known anyway, so this analogy isn't perfect, BUT still - I imagine it would be a pretty similar feeling to hearing that an ascendant Hitler had just decided to legalize all drugs... Like, alright... cool, I guess? But... what about the concentration camps? The war, constant threats of war...? All the other shit going on...?

Never would have believed I'd say this just a few years ago even but this just seems kinda less important right now than, for example, the concentration camps, the wars, the warmongering...

Not to mention that it's hard to see this even means anything. An executive order from Trump kinda seems like one of the least legitimate or robust ways to change the law, given the absolute mockery he's made of pretty much every executive power he unfortunately holds. This ibogaine law is now alongside executive orders on tariffs, anti-DEI bullshit - oh wait! This is a good one - declaring fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction, just recently... Like come on. This is just not credible. Again, if America can pull out of this nosedive into idiocracy all of this shit will be swept away anyway, and that'll be a happier day than this. Obviously I, like many of us, want to see all drugs legalized, but not like this.

Well, I see your point but Joe Rogan is a total liberal (watch the YouTube podcast with the two of them), and either way Trump won’t be in office for much longer, and this is still a win regardless for the country. Joe and Trump actually began to see eye to eye when they met and now he has influenced Trump to do something good for us. This whole right left thing is bullshit anyway. Trump isn’t a fascist. If you actually understand what WW2 fascism was with Hitler, Mussolini, Franconi, etc then you’d truly know, and my father left Communist Poland 🇵🇱 in the 70’s for many reasons that today’s youth has no clue about whatsoever.

No, it’s nothing like 1930’s Germany. Go study some history because you are insulting everyone who suffered back then under those regimes followed by communism afterwards. Wake the fuck up because I’ve traveled the world and I speak over five languages too, so do your due diligence before you say dumb shit. My dad had to flee from communism in Eastern Europe under the threat of death. I’m sick of fools who’ve never stepped foot outside the US boarders for any meaningful amount of time who want to act like they know how the world works. What did Biden do? What did Obama do? What did Bush II do? This is how our nation works. If you don’t like it go travel and see the rest of the world in order to learn, and before you begin name calling me and saying I am right wing just know that the libertarian party is about LESS government control and that’s who I lean towards. The democrats never used to be this stupid and libtarded back in the day. BTW, Trump is from NYC as I am and he was all blue back in the day too before everyone became retarded with a room temperature IQ while trying to discuss subjects that they know nothing about. Also, Trump can’t run anymore either way since he’s already been president twice and as per our laws he cannot do so again.

P.S THIS POST IS ABOUT REVAMPING THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE ACT NOT ABOUT WHICH POLITICAL PARTY YOU LEAN TOWARDS. It’s almost as if our nation cannot have an intelligent conversation these days without calling people fascist, yet the same people think communism is the answer to all of their problems lmfao! 🤣

This was once true but is no longer true. Anyway I didn't say anything about Joe Rogan and although I was aware of Joe's role in this, nothing I said actually has anything to do with Joe Rogan.

True but notice I didn't say anything about the political left or right either.

Trump isn’t a fascist.
I think this is extremely debatable although I sense it would be pointless to try to change your mind.

I speak over five languages
Haha, congratulations... I'll say I actually find that quite hard to believe, although stranger things have happened.

I'm actually not from the USA and don't live there, although I've visited. Nice place, I thought, at one time. I hope that it will be again.

I speak English, Polish, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese fluently since I was a young child and I also am a chemist who has achieved many things in this life along with being wayyy ahead of the Bell Curve than most of our society. If you’d like to meet me in person you’d know and I have a diverse social network as well. I’ve worked with Harm Reduction communities such as Dance Safe, The Drug Coalition of America, in the music industry for AEG, Live Nation, and I’ve been sponsored by the vape industry for over a decade, as well as being a successful cryptocurrency trader that has made tens of thousands of dollars in a single month while investing a fraction of that, but if you’d want to see my full resumè I have no problem sharing that either since all of my social network numbering thousands of people all over the world already knows that. What country are you in if I may ask? Godspeed

Oh yeah, and I’m also a really good flow artist too and a powerlifter that has the videos (IG, FB, YT, etc) and stats to prove it. Jack of all trades so to speak… ;)
 
I'm in favor of opening the door. Ibogaine is not something to walk into lightly tho. For the purpose of opiate dependence it would be useful. For PTSD and depression, something a little less harrowing like the other psychedelics, would be a more appropriate first step.

I agree totally because as I’ve mentioned in another post, I’ve been curious about Ibogaine in the past and I even had a contact who offered me the raw bark, but after reading up on it on erowid.org I learned that it can cause cardiac arrhythmias which can result in death, so I avoided it, but from what I understand it is still a very useful substance. The Bwiti tribe in West Africa who’ve used iboga traditionally in initiation ceremonies say that if you die during the trip that the feminine spirit of Iboga (I forgot her name) took you and that it simply was meant to be. Interesting stuff indeed.
 
Don't quote me on it. but I think it's like 1 out of 100 people die while experiencing it. However living a life on fent is probably more risky with the uncertainty in the dope supply.
Yep, I think the risk is worth it nowadays with all the fentanyl, nitazines, and Xylazine cuts being sold as heroin along with whatever other RC chemicals they try to put in there. From what I know, Ibogaine is the extracted pure substance which is less complicated than the raw root bark, and as long as you have medical supervision during the experience they can help you if something happens. Ibogaine trips are supposedly like a tryptamine and dissociative experience blended together. I’ve done IM ketamine with LSD, DMT with ketamine, and mushrooms along with K too—-it’s definitely a unique trip, but the only reason I’m mentioning this is due to the fact that they say Ibogaine isn’t the type of recreational trip where you can walk around, talk, and dance. On Ibogaine they say that you can’t really move from bed and that if you try to move too much you will become nauseous.
 
I really haven't done a lot of ketamine in my time. maybe like a gram and a half all time. Mushies, LSD, and MDMA I've all done over a 100 trips/rolls on them. Ket has it's benefits, it's just not my favorite thing to do. Oh well.
The founder of maps had a podcast where he talks about an ibogaine experience. Where he was already on LSD and took ibogaine.
 
I also had thoughts on ibogaine that it's where adults go to grow up. Like after 50, maybe for empty nest syndrome.
If you do it too young it could fuck you up in the wrong setting.
That there are times in your life where certain psychedelics are more appropriate. LSD, Psilo, MDMA in your 20s. mescaline and dmt in your 30s. 2cs in your 40s.
As for harm reduction purposes not to send anybody into a downward spiral. @Syntherize

I would do ibogaine after 50 if it seemed safe.

LSD + Ibogaine sounds crazy lol! I’ve read some trip reports online about that combo, but tryptamines + dissociatives are already quite the experience. The most mixed trip I ever had was 350ug of LSD, 80mg MDMA, 40mg MDA, a few bumps of Ketamine every few hours, 3g of pharma GHB (Xyrem), nicotine vapes, one Budweiser can of beer, and copious amounts of cannabis (smoked)—-all during the Fourth of July 🇺🇸 back in 2021 LoL!
 
That seems pretty wild. @Syntherize
I didn’t like strong trips on anything except ecstasy. Even then, a standard dose is just fine. I had to lie down momentarily for the little bit I took earlier.
 
I´m not sure how to feel about this one... thank you? I guess? It´s a lot like that dream I had where Adolf Eichmann comes to my house to give me Heroin and I´m at a loss for words. I then wake up to find I had had one of my ¨big boy dreams¨ and I have a hard time looking at myself in the mirror for the rest of the day. Shall we post this in article discussion as well? All joking aside, this is a really cool development.

I have a theory that we are about to see a major liberalization in the way drugs are legally prescribed. I´m shooting from the hip here, but I´m an old hat at this bullshit and my predictions have come true previously. We now have an extremely corrupt administration. They are openly corrupt and practically proud of it. However, public support is drying up in the wake of... all of our lives going to shit in the span of a single year... what is one way to get people docile, malleable and dependent? You give them all the drugs they want. Give them a means of taking their mind away from the political realitites; the realities of our collective quality of life.

We have Kratom extracts that are equipotent with powerful Opioids like Oxycodone being sold in smoke shops, gas stations and bodegas. Nobody has said or done shit. If we were to go back 10 years and this Kratom thing had been where it is at right now, I guarantee you moves would have been made to get rid of it. It would have been identified, they would have talked about it in the press for a few months, a bill would be announced and each state would start banning it one after another ahead of a full federal ban. I understand this shit has been banned in some specific locales, but it´s everwhere I look.

Bear in mind, psychedelics have a MAJOR, major antithetical quality in regard to the United States Government´s policy on drugs. Heroin and Cocaine are addictive drugs yes, but Cannabis and Psychedelics were the drugs that the youth were going to be on when they caused a revolution that would destroy everything. They are drugs that affect the mind in a way that no entity can truly police. If the DEA and the president are willin to sign a bill allowing pyschedelic drugs any kind of legitimate place in medicine or society, we are seeing the start of a major policy change.

Will I vote Trump if he guarantees a quarter-ounce of Dilaudid in my mailbox every week, no. If he throws in some Cocaine, I might be able to make some concessions regardin my ¨morals and convictions¨.
 
Pray tell what did your dad do to have to flee? He wasent a tad fascist now was he?
Go f•uck yourself calling my dad a fascist you f•cking idio+! He left because of Stalinist communism, but you wouldn’t know anything about that since you have a room temperature IQ and haven’t been around the world nor have you ever had to integrate into any other cultures. If I ever catch you outside you f•cking pleb I will show you exactly what you deserve to learn. Do you seriously think communist Poland was fascist? A country that got overrun by Nazis followed by communists by force? Poland was one of the few nations fighting against Nazi Germany alongside the Fins and the UK/US unlike France that just gave up and then begged for help. Do not insult my family! This post has nothing to do with that phaggot. You are a complete f•cking idio+ who knows nothing about world history. You probably know nothing about WW2 or anything for that matter either. Just go KYS with fent or something you libtarded pice of sh!t.

P.S. You are rocking the communist hammer and sickle in your profile picture as if it is cool to show off while not even understanding what it means. You would’ve been executed in communist Russia for running your mouth and at the very least you would end up in a work camp prison for life for your stupidity.

I seriously doubt your dad was around during the time of Stalin. Almost everyone who defected from the east bloc did so for very dodgy reasons. I will admit Khrushchev was a revisionist arsehole and so where the ones that came after them

You sound like a Trumper through and through though
