Well thanks for the preview this all sounds very intrigueing (as it always does when I read about iboga). I'm really looking forward to the full report. How is memory of the experience anyway? Were you able to sleep while on it? Staying awake for 3 days can get pretty crazy for me.There's still time.Lower doses (my lower dose was 350mg, mostly of the TA extract which I feel is super important since a plain HCl trip seems incomplete according to numerous people and a bit on my own experience in taking a pure HCl starter dose for the flood dose and a 200mg TA starter dose for the 350mg experience), are appropriate to take without supervision, and it was one of the best trips I've ever had, it started with incredibly realistic and intense open eye visuals and then after a couple of hours I was pulled into semi-waking dreams with my eyes closed, amazing, awesome dreams that were actually better and more cohesive dreams than I had on my flood dose.
The flood dose on the other hand needs to be taken very seriously. I only had constant supervision for the first 12 hours, which in talking with people was deemed to be long enough and that I'd be more or less with it with my eyes open, except I'd want to stay down for a good day and a half longer. Well, I did stay down for the first 2 days, but that third day I got up and was still dreaming while awake, and the world SEEMED to make sense, but in reality, as my friends later told me since I went over to spend the night at their house later, I was mostly talking nonsense and not there. Anything could have happened. What did happen was almost bad enough, I sent weird texts to my parents and a terrible email to my boss because I got in my head that it was several days later than it really was and I was missing work, and the stress of not being able to function my electronics caused me to freak out for about 2 hours, during which all of this happened. Other than the partial awareness and the deeply spiritual and wonderful feeling aspects of it (the whole flood dose - with the TA and HCl combined - felt wonderful, amazing, comfortable), it may as well have been datura because I was really not there enough to function. I may have also talked to my neighbor, not sure, I just remember wanting to talk with him and apparently I told my friend later that I did talk to him, but I also have a memory of him going inside before I could. I've been too scared to ask him if I talked to him.He's my age and seems cool, maybe not a drug user, but maybe, and probably cool with him. I did tell him about my opiate addiction prior to this and he was supportive. I want to be friends with him, but if I came up to him babbling about ibogaine and god knows what, he might see me different now.
So yeah, it's a really good story now though, I am about halfway done writing it but as I am feeling pretty much 100% better from opiates now, I am writing it faster than I was, I suspect in a few days it will be done.
My biggest problem would be finding someone to watch me for 3 days straight. I really only know one person who's down with such experiments (he just became a doctor actually, so that's appropriate) and who I would also trust (maybe another as well), but I'm not sure if he would and could spare 3 full day. Now I'd still have to score Iboga, which I currently have no clue how to do, neither the plant matter nor the ibogaine hcl.
But really, my biggest issue right now is that I could most definitely not take it with the lithium floating through my body, seizure risk and all that shit. grrrrrr...
Those effects sound sooooo intrigueing. :/
EDIT: Nice hijacking btw
Jesus christ that's scary, I wouldnt want to take 300mg of this stuff, even 200mg is overkill imo, as tragic and scary as it is I seriously hope this guy was intentionally overdosing and there aren't people out there who actually think it's okay to consume such an insanely ridiculous amount.
