Iboga rootbark questions

Got a few questions about taking iboga(/ibogaine):

Would 20g iboga root bark, chewed, produce a powerful trip, as it is most commonly used for?
After ingesting it, how many days should be allowed before a (VERY!) busy work schedule can be resumed? We're talking chef busy here, so that's being super-fast, very alert, and able to remember a lot of things. Oh, and communicative.
During the trip itself, how dangerous is it to be left alone for long periods of time?

Cheers guys,

I'm pretty sure you have to brew it somehow, but I don't know much about the stuff outside of one of my friend's experience with it.
 
It is my understanding that you should take at least 72 hours out of your work schedule for an iboga trip, maybe more to fully 'recover'. It's not something to be trifled with.
Given the fact it's a fairly powerful psychedelic/dissociative, a trip sitter is a must. Treat the experience like an intense LSD breakthrough experience.
 
There are many factors to be considered before ingesting a powerful tryptamine like iboga. It should always be treated with much respect and reverence for its ability to teach/heal & indeed possibly harm. Okay... For starters, I would hypothetically advise that one would find out if they have a sound heart function as well getting full blood works done especially a liver panel screening. ( CBC or FBC etc ) And to know if they're currently taking any prescription or non prescription medications? Is there any dependency to narcotics/alcohol? Any psychiatric depression well being related issues to consider? info on your current health issues should bear serious consideration. Dose range relative to body weight Yada yada... For personal development "subjectively speaking" the dose range mentioned (dependent on the source) is way more than enough, one would need to know the alkaloid content of the root in question. The tripper must have an experienced if not at least confident sitter with them for the first 12 hours. They could ingest it via a gel cap form or take it a spoonful at a time. They could even mix it into ordinary tea. Use an anti emetic for nausea. Don't eat for 12 hours before and take vitamins for a week before such as vitamin C, B complex, D & E, fish oil supplements & magnesium/calcium right up until 12 hours before you start. You would ideally need (dependent on why you are taking it) 2-3 days to be fully functional again (longer for dependency).

This is all of course "hypothetical" & in no way should it be taken as direct advisement at all. I would state that it is of course important to make a fully informed decision regarding the usage of any medication or entheogen for any application. This should entail learning as much as possible about it. There is a whole wealth of information about Ibogaine/iboga on the web.

Travel well & far
