Ibogaine ‐ poison or panacea?

Drugs and Alcohol Today November 1, 2004 Gary Hayes

Ibogaine is described as both a potential miracle cure for addictions—with reports of up to 90% effectiveness—and a substance linked to violent reactions and increased overdose risk. This overview examines its promise as an addiction treatment, drawing on interviews with those who administer and use it. It also explores why so little research has been conducted in the UK to establish its safety, and points to political and commercial reluctance to investigate its potential.
