Ibogaine

Sunday, September 29th, 2002

I don’t vouch for the accuracy of the item below, but it’s certainly interesting. Here’s a website where you can learn more about Ibogaine.

Since the latest strategy of the Drug Czar’s office seems to be to scapegoat 20 million or more U.S. cannabis users as accomplices of Osama Bin Laden, I have to ask: What if there were an illegal drug that could CURE addiction?

Which would you say was more responsible for the problem with illicit drugs– some people smoking pot somewhere, or the fact the government is keeping a cure for addiction from the American people?

I know one drug we should legalize right away. Have you heard of Ibogaine? It is a schedule one drug, like marijuana or LSD– totally prohibited for use by Doctors.

But what if the Nixon-era lawmakers, in their rush to prohibit everything that could get you high, made a mistake?

Thirty years ago, at the height of the LSD scare, they put Ibogaine on a list with psylocybin and mescaline, without any idea of its medical properties. Even today, most people are not aware what a breakthrough Ibogaine is in the treatment of addictions– or the fact that researchers at 4 or 5 major Universities are in a race to find a form of Ibogaine that the FDA will approve.

This rainforest alkaloid has been reported to act as an addiction interrupter across a wide spectrum of abused substances, legal and illegal, in more more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers. A unique effect is the simultaneous loss of multiple addictions–for example opiates, meth-amphetamine, crack, alcohol and cigarettes–after as little as a single treatment.

Ibogaine is the first pharmacotherapy where, when the treatment wears off, addicts are free of both physical withdrawal and psychological craving. And where opioid maintenance (methadone) or blockers (naltrexone) fail to address the underlying dopaminergic disorder (craving), re-treatment with Ibogaine (should uncontrollable cravings re-cur, or in the event or relapse) is safe and easy.

With Ibogaine, the acute phase that requires bed-rest takes just two days. Even with a period to keep them under observation in case you have to administer another, smaller dose after 4 to 6 days for residual cravings, folks can be back at work in just under two weeks. The stumbling block, as always, is funding–plus lack of the support Ibogaine would have if more people realized it’s not some far-off possibility in the distant future, but an option already available for those who can afford to travel. It is only illegal in the U.S., Switzerland, and Belgium. In the U.S, we have countered the prohibition by promoting para-clinical ibogaine treatments for as little as $600 in Britain and other countries where Ibogaine is not specifically prohibited.

I believe Ibogaine, and the whole plant iboga extract which contains all 12 iboga alkaloids (and is preferred for methadone det-tox), is rapidly becoming another legalization “poster child” akin to medical marijuana.
