“It’s only in recent years that studying the positive effects of psychedelics has gained traction in mainstream media after several well-known studies emerged following a decades’ long ban of its use in labs and clinical trials since 1970.” “He’s been one of the most intelligent champions for psychedelics as medicine,” says Alex Grey, a visionary…
The principle stumbling block to getting ibogaine everywhere is getting local approval to be administered as a medicine…ibogaine is 10 times safer than continuing to use, and 5 times safer than lifetime methadone. Unfortunately the bureaucratic imperative of the DEA is to extend US style prohibition everywhere, so we’re in danger of one country after…
As ibogaine, the active alkaloid of iboga, enters the body, the process starts to rehabilitate an individual, ridding habits, and causes of anxiety or depression, powerfully. Already regarded as a highly successful rehabilitation center, the addition of Ibogaine treatment to the Washington-based organization has been well received. While ibogaine has been used by centers elsewhere,…

“As cops educate more cops and prosecutors educate more prosecutors, the sooner the madness ends.” By talking about the many byproducts of the war on drugs (over incarceration, civil forfeiture, police militarization, poor police community relations, overdose deaths, immigration, etc.), we can paint a correlation for people. This reformation also creates an atmosphere for increased…
“What’s the difference between a drug, a pharmaceutical, a narcotic, an entheogen, and a medicine? How do you categorize them? How do you deal with them? How do you deal with their legal and social status? I think society needs them now more than ever.” You might think that there was something illegal about using…
“Across generations, many of those synthesising and supplying it have been motivated not by greed, but by a belief in its power to transform the world for the good. While today, placing faith in acid alone seems, at best, hopelessly naïve, there’s no denying the growing body of research showing that hallucinogenic drugs can dramatically…
“As a former federal public defender and drug law reform advocate — and as a someone who has struggled for years to find relief from debilitating mood swings — Waldman argues that U.S. prohibitions on psychedelics should be lifted so that people can have access to potentially life-saving relief from depression, PTSD and addiction.” Most…
