I personally feel that Ibogaine as a magic silver bullet drug to get off Heroin is far too over-stated... and that the primary importance of Ibogaine is understanding the plant teacher.
You get that a bit with Salvia, with sometimes with good cactus, some people, some times with Ayahuasca - but with Ibogaine, it is right in your face and very, very powerful.
The thing I got from doing small doses was understanding how "light" it was... and that it was just bringing up our "darkness".
My experience of the fully immersive dose was how humourous the plant is... what good jokes it tells! For me and another friend who tried it - it was "the best shit ever"! - a very evolved, holographic living and alivened space in which to do some serious inner work...
People talk on and on about whether the DMT entities are real or not... but that plants have a living intelligence that can communicate with us humans, is I think, just as an important a revelation in many ways.
Ibogaine is a really good way to understand this plant intelligence... and I think can plug anyone right into that in a very direct way unattainable with other compounds.
btw, I have heard of people having strong psychoactive experiences by converting the compounds found in Tabernathe Orientalis into Ibogaine (as well as isolating the Ibogaine in the leaves) , but it does not sound at all like a therapeutic experience... just really "out there".
More research needs to be done... and I think its through this compound that it can be proved that Ibogaine is not always Ibogaine!
