Ibogaine: Suppressed Addiction Cure or Just Hype?
Journal of Psychology & Clinical Psychiatry November 23, 2015 Scott W Stern
Ibogaine, a powerful hallucinogen derived from the Iboga plant, is illegal in the United States but has been used in other countries to treat addiction. According to patient and provider sources, treatment typically involves 1–3 administrations. Farhad Garda of Ibogaine Therapy House in South Africa states that ibogaine's ability to interrupt the addiction cycle is beyond question. Ibogaine Pharma Ltd describes it as a new therapy for chemical dependence that eliminates physical withdrawal signs and interrupts drug craving behavior, acting as both a therapeutic and psychoactive addiction-breaker for drug and alcohol addictions.
