“LSD is like a look out of a window into the open; Ibogaine is more like an occasion to destroy the old building and make room for a new one. It is more of a ‘work drug’ in the sense of facilitating an analytic process on the unconscious obstacles to life.”

I have long wanted to write about Iboga, especially given the compelling evidence of its profound ability to help those struggling with addiction find significant relief and healing.

It is an oneirogen and produces a state of awake dreaming characterized by an immersive dream state similar to REM sleep. It can be an experience which allows deep truths to emerge from the subconscious realm and can feel like a rebirthing of the self and a re-setting of the “spiritual and electrical operating system”. It is a root which can offer profound visions of truth and understanding reality and your place in it. It is commonly associated with visions and interactions in the ancestral realm and what many call a life review.
