Ibogaine, a compound from the iboga plant used in traditional Bwiti rituals and studied for treating opioid dependence, produces distinctive dream-like subjective effects that existing questionnaires do not capture. To measure these effects, a 70-item Ibogaine Experience Scale (IES) was developed based on a prior qualitative study. After testing an initial 144-item version on 499 participants in two clinical settings, the final scale has seven factors—including narrative visions, visual changes, discomfort, cosmic visions, introspection, somatosensory sensitivity, and dissociation—explaining 53.9% of the variance. The scale shows excellent statistical fit and high internal consistency, offering a reliable tool for research and clinical assessment of ibogaine's unique effects.

Ibogaine, a compound from the root bark of Tabernanthe iboga used in traditional Bwiti rituals, shows promise for treating opioid dependence and neurological conditions, but existing tools do not capture its distinctive dream-like effects. To address this, the Ibogaine Experience Scale (IES) was developed from a prior qualitative study and refined using data from 499 participants across two clinical settings. The final scale has seven factors—including narrative visions, visual changes, discomfort, cosmic visions, introspection, somatosensory sensitivity, and dissociation—explaining 53.9% of variance with excellent fit and high internal consistency. The IES provides a reliable instrument for quantifying ibogaine's subjective effects, supporting research and clinical assessment.
