Ibogaine, just for fun?

What do you guys think about Ibogaine just for fun? I know it's a powerful tool for addicts of all kind I've heard miracle stories about heroin addicts becoming clean and sober but I was wondering about just doing it for the experience? Has anyone heard of this or had experiences with it? What are your opinions?
 
I am very curious to hear from anyone who uses ibogaine as just another psychedelic (not to cure addiction, not with great expectation as to what the experience is "supposed" to be like). It doesn't sound particularly unpleasant to me, just a little physically taxing and deserving of the description "acquired taste." I'd love to give ibogaine HCl a try for its own sake, maybe with something safe and highly selective like ondansetron to mitigate the unpleasantness.
 
^ Seconded.

From the TR's I've read, it doesn't seem like something to do just for funsies. Then again, most if not all of the reports were from users trying to cure addiction or some other ailment in their life..

I wonder what low dose ibogaine is like..
 
Low doses of ibogaine are commonly used to support the post-journey glow and stave off cravings. Also, in addition to being used as a coming-of-age sacrament, Iboga is traditionally used at low doses in hunting expeditions by the Bwiti.

But please, don't party with it. And DEFINITELY don't mix other things with it. This plant deserves the kind of respect Ayahuasca deserves.

Hehe, only a little? From my point of view I've always considered it a lot, I don't consider those side-effects are worth the long weird trip Ibogaine provides.

There are a couple of glowing experiences in the erowid vault:

Here's report of an enjoyable low dose:
We took 16mg each at approximately 2:30pm. We both felt alerts at 15 minutes out, and noted a strong feeling of comfort, colors and details in vision brightening and becoming more sharp. It was a very pleasant sensation. I know that ibo hits a TON of receptors and I sensed there was a strange brew going on. A little stimulated and dopaminey, a little empathic like serotonin, and a little drunk and tipsy like GABA. Kind of like ecstasy mixed with a little GHB. Very strange. After two hours or so, we decided to redose another 16mg. The effects continued and were extremely pleasant. This was totally the opposite of my first ibo experience (although that was probably colored by the withdrawals I was going thru at the time as well), which I found to be singularly wrenching on both a physical and mental level, so much so that I was even reluctant to try another dose of any amount. But I'm glad I did, this stuff is freaking great.

This low dose on the other hand wasn't so positive:
