*iboga activist Dana Beal in 1994 Del. Wendell Beitzel (R-District 1A) wants to continue efforts to establish an ibogaine treatment pilot program in Maryland. “We’re dealing with an extreme opiate addiction problem,” Beitzel said during his and Sen. George Edwards’ recent pre-legislative meeting at Garrett College. “I think it’s a problem that’s probably touched just…
He is technically right in that they are the only treatments available in the United States. He is wrong, however, in the bigger picture. Canada and Mexico are among the countries that allow addicts to take ibogaine, which can eliminate withdrawal symptoms in one dose. Ibogaine’s problem here is that it is lumped in with…
I was intrigued to learn some so-called psychedelic, hallucinogenic or psychoactive drugs might actually cure some addictions.

After an ibogaine trip, users tend to describe experiences with a powerful other who describes to them how the world works, including the steps they must take to align themselves to their true paths. Like many other hallucinogens, ibogaine—the psychoactive compound derived from the roots of the iboga tree—induces several hours of awe, insight, and…
“I believe that iboga could disappear in the public domain in less than 5 years,” Guignon, an iboga specialist in Gabon, warns. The expansion of treatment centers has the potential to help untold numbers of people suffering from addiction, but there is a major downside to the expanded profile: The iboga plant is disappearing. It…
