Given pot laws, how honest are feds?
Oct. 27, 2002 Orange County Register Reader Rebuttal

By Rick L. Root
The Westminster resident is operations manager for a machinery
manufacturer in Santa Ana.

In reference to the congressional call for an inquiry into what U.S.
officials knew about
al-Qaida threats before the Sept. 11 attacks, Audrey Wicks
rhetorically asks, “What
American in his right mind could have had such information and not
put out an alarm?”
[Letters, Oct. 16] – as if it were a given that our leaders are
incapable of considering
average citizens to be expendable. The question deserves much more than cursory
agreement to its implied rhetorical answer – not as an indictment of government
involvement but as a means to show that government is capable of such
callousness.

There are many who claim FDR knew of and allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor in
order to sway public opinion toward entering World War II. If true,
his administration
Even more compelling evidence exists that suggests LBJ was aware of the gross
inaccuracies in his Gulf of Tonkin speech, which served to escalate
our involvement in
Vietnam. Again, if true, leadership decided American lives to be
expendable in the
advancement of desired policy.

Of course, there are other examples that might indicate areas of our
government do
indeed consider citizens to be expendable for the advancement of
policy. But most of
us by nature will continue to trust those who lead us, and to dismiss
contrary claims as
loony conspiracy theories, until such time as irrefutable proof is
laid in our hands.

But for me and millions of other Americans, absolute proof is in our
hands. That proof:
marijuana.

Over the last four decades, marijuana use has become commonplace in America. In
that time, millions from all walks of life have used it
recreationally without harm. Its
medicinal qualities are recognized and taken advantage of by tens of
thousands of sick
and dying Americans who have found a non-toxic means of improving the
quality of
their lives. Yet government and most politicians from both parties
continue to refuse the
facts, both anecdotal and clinical, to promote and protect the
prohibition against and
the Class 1 scheduling of marijuana. They lie to us. Millions of
Americans know the
truth from years and years of first- and second-hand experiences with
the herb. The
lies are told to protect and advance policies, programs and business
dependent upon
its prohibition, which has caused great harm to millions of good
Americans. People
are expendable for the sake of desired policy.

Marijuana doesn’t kill. No one has ever died from its ingestion. Yet
government has you
believe otherwise. They would have you believe marijuana is addictive. Hardly.
Marijuana is being used successfully as a means of beating addiction
to drugs that kill,
such as alcohol. But don’t take my word for it or government’s.
Simply look around your
community. Where are the bodies that marijuana supposedly claims? Where are the
signs of harm? Look in your jails and prisons – there’s your harm. The harms of
marijuana are slight compared to the harms of marijuana prohibition.

Or look at the treatment of a local medical marijuana user. AIDS
patient Ross Embry of
Laguna Beach [“O.C. case a test for medical marijuana,” Local News, Oct.16] was
arrested for cultivating his medicine. Now he is suffering, and he
will suffer further – not
from the use of marijuana but from the government lies that prop up
its prohibition. Is
he expendable for the sake of the government’s desired policy?

“What American in his right mind could have had such information and
not put out an
alarm?” the letter-writer asked.

Good question, Ms. Wicks. Alarms are sounded yet apathy prevails. Or worse,
messengers are dismissed because the message is unpopular. The tyranny isn’t as
much that government boldly lies as it is that the majority blindly believes.

Subject: [IBOGAINE] Ethnoplanet Rip Off

I recieived the address of Ethnoplanet from the
Ibo.uk site. They were the
only company willing to mail iboga root to the US.
Now I know why…It is
fake.

I was desparate, willing to try anything. I
started with a 5 gram order
thinking that it might be enough for a detox. I
send $35, which for me, at
this point, is a lot of money. I made all kinds of
special arrangements. You
can imagine how bummed out I was when very little
happened.

Next I ordered 75 grams for $340!!! I made a
simple ethanol extract using no
heat. I drank it and almost nothing happened.
Thinking I messed up the
extract (very difficult, I have a degree in
chemistry) I mixed the nasty
extracted root with creamed corn and ate 60 grams
of the shit. 30 minutes
later I fell asleep for an hour. I felt very
slightly buzzed but nothing
else. I had the worst stomach ache for three days.

It had no effect on my habit what so ever. Now I
am so depressed, I wish I
were dead. Those mother fuckers at Ethnoplanet
suck. They refuse to refund
my money and told me if I want to get high (the
last thing I want) I should
order mescaline from them.

Please, nobody should do business with those
fucking beat artist scumbags.
In my city, beat artists are dealt with in a very
unpleasant fashion. I feel
betrayed, stupid and very depressed. That was the
last bit of money I had.

I have had identical experience with these people. Not shipped into the US but paying for something that doesn’t look to do anything at all. It may have some ibogaine content so I did not complain too much and then never tried iboga.nl. I have had very good results with indra.dk

I would be wary of dealing with anyone who is willing to ship direct into the US. There is a almost complete chance that they are only taking your money for nothing.

I did not post this before because I thought what Bill said, maybe the content is only very low. But now I have to say the same thing. Has anyone here had any positive results from ethnoplanet?

Was it iboga _root_? If so, then of course it wouldn’t work,
right? The rootbark must be a tiny % of the weight, so no
ibogaine to speak of, but possibly lots of other unpleasant
alkaloids. So it might have been iboga, but root priced as
if it were rootbark.

Marc,

2 more cents.

dl-phenylalanine (a &#34;required&#34; amino acid) is
likely to help your crack addict, this is aside from
the ibo issue. If you do an internet search on
&#34;phenylalanine AND cocaine&#34; (or
&#34;amphetamine&#34; or &#34;addiction&#34; and
phenylalanine). You could also look up &#34;depression
AND phenylalanine&#34; and there you will find it is
about as effective as the most commonly used psychotic
medications, (eg welbutrin, various SSRI’s). Most
people have no side effects, a few people will get
speedy – D-phenylalanine can be used instead of the
DL- flavor. Some people it doesn’t work, use tyrosine
instead of phenylalanine. They are precursors of major
neurotransmitters, epinephrine, nor-epinephrine,
dopamine… (I don’t have the exact details in my
head) and effectively treat some of the
post-withdrawal symptoms such as edginess. It is
subtle and may take weeks (to a month) to take effect
but it does work quite well, I still take it. Get it
in any health food store, about 6 bucks for 60.

With ibogaine it (dl-phenylalanine) seems to make the
recovery time quicker/easier, I couldn’t say
specifically if it does anything more than the obvious
(as stated above) when mixed with ibogaine in a crack
addict, it isn’t going to hurt.

Another amino acid &#34;tryptophan&#34; has been
reported to help mood and take some of what I call the
&#34;darkness&#34; out of opiate addicts ibogaine
treatment. You are using Milk with the ibo so that may
help mood. Tryptophan is the precursor of serotonin.

Melatonin is also used and can enhance mood as well as
help with post-ibo sleeping. People with SADDs
shouldn’t take melatonin – as I found out, makes me
depressed.

Another substance I have (and many others) used long
before ibogaine was Rescue Remedy, it is great for
emotional crisis, nice and calming. I never used it
with ibo but have for addiction a number of times – it
will mix with ibo quite safely. Come to think of it,
might be a good treatment for ibogaine induced
anxiety…  hummm, gotta try that one. Most
health-food stores would carry it. Very subtle, takes
the &#34;edge&#34; off, has zero side effects or drug
interactions.

Good luck.

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; 2 cents
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Generally/historically a lower dose is used
for
&gt; &gt; non-opiate addicts, in the 12-15mg/kg range,
&gt; 20mg/kg
&gt; &gt; (18.8mg/kg) is getting up there high end
short
&gt; acting
&gt; &gt; opiate/low end methadone range.  In my case
it was
&gt; &gt; bumpped up to 18mg/kg because I am a hard
head
&gt; (you
&gt; &gt; didn’t notice that did you???). Yes, it is
&gt; different
&gt; &gt; form of ibogaine, in freebase format and I
suppose
&gt; you
&gt; &gt; are giving it over time and not all at once
like
&gt; last
&gt; &gt; time BUT IMO, it may be less necessary for
the
&gt; &gt; addiction itself than it would be for an
opiate
&gt; &gt; addiction.  The 1,700mg ibogaine AND 1,400mg
other
&gt; &gt; ibogaine alkaloids would likely have a)
synergy
&gt; &gt; together to be more potent than just 1.7gm
and B,
&gt; NOT
&gt; &gt; be 1.4gm of strictly other alkaloids – more
like
&gt; 1.4gm
&gt; &gt; other alkaloids and OTHER STUFF. Ibogaine is
or
&gt; can be
&gt; &gt; really rough, on the one hand larger and
repeated
&gt; &gt; doses are more effective (no doubt), on the
other
&gt; hand
&gt; &gt; risk and unpleasant side effects increase
with the
&gt; &gt; dose. Opiate addicte tend to have less
visions
&gt; than
&gt; &gt; non-opiate addicts, so your patient is more
likely
&gt; to
&gt; &gt; have more visions anyway, not that it
matters
&gt; much,
&gt; &gt; just saying.
&gt; &gt; You can (of course) start a tad lower in a
more
&gt; &gt; traditional dose range (acknowleding it is a
&gt; different
&gt; &gt; form of iboga) and bump it up a bit if
necessary –
&gt; an
&gt; &gt; option, not a suggestion. Keep in mind that
&gt; peoples
&gt; &gt; reaction to ibogaine is all over the place,
some
&gt; are
&gt; &gt; very sensitive, others are not.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; How were you planning on giving it, all at
once
&gt; with a
&gt; &gt; tester dose or split up like the last time?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; You are the one at the &#34;front line&#34;
on this one,
&gt; you
&gt; &gt; are the one using this form of iboga (16X
freebase
&gt; &gt; extract), you are the one to evaluate the
&gt; patient…
&gt; &gt; That said your dosage seems a bit on the
high side
&gt; to
&gt; &gt; me – but again, I am unfamiliar with that
&gt; particular
&gt; &gt; flavor of iboga, just that it appears to be
about
&gt; &gt; 3/5ths as strong as ibogaine HCL, that
roughly
&gt; 25-30gm
&gt; &gt; of quality root bark is about the same as
1gm of
&gt; &gt; ibogaine HCL (though different), at 16X
&gt; concentration
&gt; &gt; 1gm of extract fits right in that 3/5ths –
TO ME,
&gt; FROM
&gt; &gt; FAR, FAR AWAY for which I can’t see for
myself…
&gt; &gt; Certainly, &#34;more will be revealed&#34;
to you on how
&gt; to
&gt; &gt; treat patients as well as this particular
iboga
&gt; &gt; extract (eg, maybe it doesn’t translate to
quite
&gt; &gt; 3/5ths as strong).
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Good luck

Vancouver’s mayoral candidate Marc Emory is not only calling for a response
to drug addiction but, actually treating addicts with an experimental
medication to make effective treatment a reality.  The text below is found on
his campaign web page <http://marc4mayor.com/>.  I anticipate this is a first
in political campaign history.

hey MattD,

hell yes, 1994 counts!

My first ‘day party’ was on 1 May 1979, yes, *not* a typo, 1979,
when I ran away from my parents home, (bro, so sorry for the anguish
at home, but you know how crazy things were), and joined the
yippies! by attending their annual May Day Marijuania Day Parade in
Washington Square Park, with a March up 5th Avenue, (street i was
born on!!! Donald Trump ain’t got NUTHIN on me, sucka), with a Rock
Against Racism concert in Central Park that afternoon.

I fell asleep on a bus there and when I woke up in the morning the
first sight I saw as we drove by was the Washington Monument in DC
on our way to the Three Mile Island, No Nukes Rally.

(btw, my thinking hasn’t changed on the 420, but nuclear power is a
beautiful thing, and it’s not up for discussion, at least not with
me, you’ll be talking to a brick wall that naturally emits more
radiation than a cooling tower.)

After the rally, right before i got back on the bus I went for a
soda and the damn bus left w/out me stranding in DC with no money
and no friends.

oops.

I hitch-hiked back to NYC with a guy named Lester, who also dinn’t
get on the bus when he should have, and we made the 5 hour by car
trip in 7 hours via thumb, and arrived at the doorstep of Studio 10,
my on-again, off-again home for the next few years @ 10 Bleecker
Street, in NY’s East Village on the corner of the Bowery,
kittie-cornered from CBGB’s at 6am in the morning, where we were
greeted at the door by the yippies! in house para-legal, Dean,
totally naked and half asleep, since they had run him ragged the day
before at the DC protest.

He let us in and i gotta tell ya, Studio 10 was/is the prototype for
the warehouse parties we know and love today.

We were open at least 5 nights a week and we featured 3 bands for
three bux in this loft-like live work place that was so fun that it
never occured to me to go check out the acts @ CBGB’s.

doh!

my first exposure to the DMT i wrote about a while back, ocurred in
those environs, among many other things, which I then saw later on a
much larger scale when i started making our modern parties on and
off in 1998.

Apollo’s got Woodstock, I’ve got my daze in Studio Ten to cherish
and relive every party I go to today.

btw, the good people from that time and place are doing *THE*
cutting edge work today in addiction interruption, so if you know
any one that has issues with ‘powder-death’ drugs, look into the
ibogaine approach they’ve discovered.

FYI, Ibogaine is a *psychedelic!!!*

details are here:

http://www.cures-not-wars.org/ibogaine/iboga.html
and
http://www.cures-not-wars.org/ibogaine/iboga.html

the life you save may be one you love.

as soon as I can afford it, i’m going to try this on my tobacco
addiction and since one guy is doing it in international waters in
the Carribbean, Howard Lotsoff, the man who discovered this on
accident, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make….

Generally/historically a lower dose is used for
non-opiate addicts, in the 12-15mg/kg range, 20mg/kg
(18.8mg/kg) is getting up there high end short acting
opiate/low end methadone range.  In my case it was
bumpped up to 18mg/kg because I am a hard head (you
didn’t notice that did you???). Yes, it is different
form of ibogaine, in freebase format and I suppose you
are giving it over time and not all at once like last
time BUT IMO, it may be less necessary for the
addiction itself than it would be for an opiate
addiction.  The 1,700mg ibogaine AND 1,400mg other
ibogaine alkaloids would likely have a) synergy
together to be more potent than just 1.7gm and B, NOT
be 1.4gm of strictly other alkaloids – more like 1.4gm
other alkaloids and OTHER STUFF. Ibogaine is or can be
really rough, on the one hand larger and repeated
doses are more effective (no doubt), on the other hand
risk and unpleasant side effects increase with the
dose. Opiate addicte tend to have less visions than
non-opiate addicts, so your patient is more likely to
have more visions anyway, not that it matters much,
just saying.
You can (of course) start a tad lower in a more
traditional dose range (acknowleding it is a different
form of iboga) and bump it up a bit if necessary – an
option, not a suggestion. Keep in mind that peoples
reaction to ibogaine is all over the place, some are
very sensitive, others are not.

How were you planning on giving it, all at once with a
tester dose or split up like the last time?

You are the one at the “front line” on this one, you
are the one using this form of iboga (16X freebase
extract), you are the one to evaluate the patient…
That said your dosage seems a bit on the high side to
me – but again, I am unfamiliar with that particular
flavor of iboga, just that it appears to be about
3/5ths as strong as ibogaine HCL, that roughly 25-30gm
of quality root bark is about the same as 1gm of
ibogaine HCL (though different), at 16X concentration
1gm of extract fits right in that 3/5ths – TO ME, FROM
FAR, FAR AWAY for which I can’t see for myself…
Certainly, “more will be revealed” to you on how to
treat patients as well as this particular iboga
extract (eg, maybe it doesn’t translate to quite
3/5ths as strong).

Good luck

At 20 mg/kg ibogaine hydrochloride, 90 kg would be

Seems like too much ibogaine (1,700 mgs). Max for
ibogaine is near 1,000 mgs. Make sure you have your
numbers right.                            Mundo.

He weighs 90 kilograms.

iboga alkaloids).

By the way, I have a concern about
benzodiazipiam in the patients system. I
am advised by someone who went through Sara’s
clinic learning that these
prescription drugs in the system can induce
seizures, and if seizures pose a
greater risk during iboga extract
administration, if the patient is a long
term user of benzodiazipiams.

If you want specific names, I’m sorry but I don’t have that information.
Less specifically, it’s the DEA and sometimes the FDA that looks at these
things. The DEA has said in the past that they’re looking at salvia. The
bill which would schedule it, H.R. 5607, appears to be an hysterical
reaction to some “unknown” by legislators. AFAIK, the DEA was not the

of quality root bark is about the same as 1gm of
ibogaine HCL (though different), at 16X concentration
1gm of extract fits right in that 3/5ths – TO ME, FROM
FAR, FAR AWAY for which I can’t see for myself…
Certainly, “more will be revealed” to you on how to
treat patients as well as this particular iboga
extract (eg, maybe it doesn’t translate to quite
3/5ths as strong).

Good luck

I think 20 mg/kg ibogaine hcl is too high of a dosing. That would equal 100 mg/kg of Indra 5:1 extract (what I am most familiar with). That setting would make a total dosing of 9,000 mgs (100 mgs x 90 kgs). Maximum dosing for the Indra extract is 5,000 mgs, which comes out to roughly 55 mgs/kg of Indra (5,000 mgs divided by 90 kgs) which comes out to roughly 11 mgs/kg ibogaine content. I believe the Lotsof procedure uses (or used) 1,000 mg of ibogaine hcl for addiction interruption. I would assume that 90 kgs would call for a heftier dose, but 20 mgs/kg seems a bit high. Maybe some other folks can chime in.                                                                                                                            Mundo.

Hi Howard

Heroin is a Class A drug (Equiv to U.S. Schedule 1) I believe. Ibogaine wasn’t scheduled at all till last year; hope it wasn’t our fault they found out about it and scheduled it! Far more likely to be related to the ‘special relationship American & English drug warriors’ have with each other..

Schedule 3/Class C drugs over here include some amphetamines, benzodiazepines, Ibogaine and soon cannabis.

Hope all is well in yr life

Maybe I am confused with the question.

NO, ibogaine will NOT cause seizures when mixed with
benzo’s, they have been safely used with ibogaine to
reduce anxiety during the experience and promote sleep
post ibogaine session.

It is when one is addicted to benzo’s (alcohol,
barbituates and some other drugs) that cause seizures
when their use is stopped, it is a manifestation of
the addiction to these substances.

Ibogaine (an “anti-addictive”) has been reported to
work on any addictive substance thrown at it so far,
including drug addictions that can cause seizures
(alcohol is the most reported). From what reports I
have seen no one has had a seizure post ibogaine
either because these substances are in the body or
they are being treated for addiction. Ibogaine in
LARGE doses can cause seizures but this usually only
happens if you are a lab rat and injected with near
lethal doses of ibogaine (oh, look, brain damage, I
wonder why!)

Marc,

The short answer is ibogaine works for any addiction
(that i have seen so far) including benzo’s. So you
shouldn’t get seizures just like you shouldn’t get
seizures from an alcoholic being treated with ibo. I
have used and have known other addicts to use Dilantin
for mild post-withdrawal seizure like activity,
dancing feet, restlessness. Typically however
(non-ibo) the chance of seizures can go on long after
cessation of a drug such as alcohol, valium, other
benzo’s, barbituates the worst, seizures can happen
months later. IMO, that does not mean 100% of the ibo
patients you have will never get a seizure 100% of the
time just as some people experience withdrawals from
opiates, I would guess seizures may happen if you see
enough patients – though never heard of any happening.

Just some thoughts
Brett

By the way, I have a concern about benzodiazipiam in
the patients system. I
am advised by someone who went through Sara’s clinic
learning that these
prescription drugs in the system can induce
seizures, and if seizures pose a
greater risk during iboga extract administration, if
the patient is a long
term user of benzodiazipiams.

Marc
If yr patient is not exhibiting any fits or seizures yet, he’s either still taking benzodiazepines (behind your back) – yoh U’all, don’t say I was the only one who did that in detox!! – OR his habit was not that big/long before he went into the Ibogaine experience.

To my knowledge, if he was going to have seizures, he may well have begun them by now, but others on this list may well know better

Dear Marc ,

I find out that it isn’t so much the visualization that helps to understand one own addiction , it is more to do with the
awarness and will power of that person, state of mind or state of brainwashing he is .it isn’t true that the higher
the dose the better the visualization or better  treatment or better detox .it is the connection one has with
their own divinity that are causing the healing and not the amount of Iboga someone get,
some people get answers to their problems having no visualizations ,some have visualization they can’t connect
to, some people have deep emotional journey which isn’t fun , and some have only detox on a physical level .
all on the same dosage .
You can’t make sense of the iboga’s way , but you can ask for clear visions and clear answers .

have you taken the stuff you are administering ?

all the best ,

Our last iboga extract patient is doing fine, 7 days since his last fix and he is doing well. This week we are dosing a crack cocaine addict who says his addiction is entirely psychological, he doesn’t get physical withdrawl. So no hash brownies for him, we will go for a high dose and hope the visualizations help him understand his dependence on cocaine. He has 3 children,  and we are dosing him at his grandmothers residence (who is a fan of mine). We do this on Wednesday.

Any particular advice in dealing with cocaine-only addicts? His health profile is excellent.

If you goto <http://ibogaine.co.uk/new.htm> and scroll down to “Feb 9 2000 –
UK Coroner records death was caused by Tabernanthe iboga extract” (third
item) that appears to be the source of the scheduling of ibogaine.  The
effect of the scheduling being that normal sources of supply are no longer

as they have in the past.

Technically, scheduling a drug under the Controlled Substance Act is
supposed to require an act of Congress; however there have been some
drugs, such as the recent addition of 2CT7, which have been scheduled by
an “Emergency Petition” by the DEA. Really, that’s unconstitutional, since
the Executive Branch (of which the DEA is part) isn’t supposed to make
laws, just enforce them; but no one has challenged that.

The pending Salvia legislation is currently on the floor in the House of
Representatives, although it is unlikely to be voted on this session. I
believe ibogaine was scheduled by Congress in 1966, along with LSD,
mescaline, and psilocybin.

Thanks for this report. I just receieved small samples of some 10x, (organic and regular), from a friend and am waiting for just the right moment to give them a try.
Having tried it only once before, I can report that I was aware, in the limited effects I got, that there was a cat-like entity watching me from just above me and to my right, simply watching me, and inside my skin, my body felt like it was spinning, but not in a dizzy-inducing way. I got up and tried to walk across my apartment and felt like a top inside but completely solid outside. Very strange sensation and it didn’t last that long.
Schwann, you sound like you prepared some strong stuff there.;-))

Schwann wrote:

Salvia divinorum,

So finally, after 10 years from the time that Sd featured in my
African Space Opera, my botanist editor actually did what was
written. He has grown, prepared, and smoked, 5g of Sd at his
farm. Some hours later, I got a phone call from him, and this is what
he said:

It all started with three tattered  rooted cuttings that barely made
the trip from overseas in the post. At the time I thought that I’m
probably the first person on the African continent that’s done this,
because seeds are practically unknown to this species, being only a
rare occurrence for them to flower, so fresh cuttings to survive a
two week journey through the post was already a miracle. Upon opening
the envelope, I immediately rushed them into R&R, which meant putting
them into peat moss in pots and then into ideal greenhouse
conditions. Fortunately, they responded well, and after six months I
had propagated more than 100  plants from the original three
cuttings.

I’d read  (on the Net) that you could chew it, like the Mazatecs, by
placing 20 pairs of leaves into a quid in the pouch of your mouth,
allowing the active ingredient, Salvinorin A, into the bloodstream
sublingually. This method proved unsatisfactory, and effects proved
only slightly detectable, compared to what happened later.
Some months later, again on the Net, I came across an extraction
protocol using acetone to extract the salvinorin from the leaves,
resulting in a 5X smokable extract, a leafy combustible material.
This turned out to be the right solution. A very smoothly smokable
substance it turned out to be.

Here’s what happened:

It was a mid-morning week day, everyone out to work or school, my
psychonaut friend and I embarked on a mission to evaluate, what
probably amounts to the first 5X extract of Salvia divinorum
processed in Africa. We did two experiments during a lovely sunny
morning. At first, we rolled a thinny with a pinch of the moist dark
green preparation and lit up, each taking 2-3 puffs. The effects at
this stage were similar to a batch of 10X I’d had tried previously
from a friend of mine in Oregon, so when the effects started coming
on, I recognised them in this context.

The power of the drug came at me from the left and proceeded to push
me over into the couch where I sort of waited it through and within
2-3 minutes I was able to laugh it off because I imagined my friend
being worried about my mental state. Then we talked about it, and a
half-an-hour elapsed till I was ready to go again. My friend said
he’d read that the active ingredient needed relatively high
temperatures to vaporise, and that this could only be achieved in a
pipe bowl, or bhong. We hunted one down, stuffed the bowl packed
tightly with about half-a-gram of 5X and proceeded to torch the
material. My friend took the first puff, me taking the second,
hotter, deep puff, and sure enough this is where it all started.

It was only a matter of a couple of seconds before I could actually
see IT/THEM coming into my  peripheral (left) vision or POV, like a
freight train coming around the corner heading straight for me.
Changing the analogy, it was also like I was gripped by my left arm,
and another hand grasping the scruff of my neck. It started pulling
me back, then around in a spiral. I imagined myself going back,
through the kitchen wall, being sucked into the kitchen cupboards,
but before I could get there it changed directions and wanted to take
me out through the front wall towards the outside of the house. The
whole while I was thinking to myself that my wife will come home and
find me DOA surrounded by paramedics. But back to what was happening.

The experience could also be compared to a wave of water coming down
a canyon, an unstoppable force equal to that of a tidal wave of some
kind of energy, a tsunami. I began to tumble from the force applied
and seemed to have one eye above water and THREE eyes below water: a
proportion of 25/75% vision/consciousness, the rest was, in an
analogy, ‘underwater’. I was totally unable to control my reactions,
it was too real, it was overwhelming, it was frightening. At that
stage I had no choice other than to go with the flow of being tumbled
down the vortex, like Alice in wonderland. It was only when it came
to the crunch that I had any choice, or so it seemed. Three quarters
though the turn of the vortex, or through the cycle of what was
happening, a fork in the path occurred and the vortex began to morph
into a split into the direction I wanted to go, and the direction
THEY wanted to go. They were pulling at me so hard that it felt like
my clothes were being ripped off my body. At this stage I had twisted
my body during the ‘turn’ and my head was on the ground while my feet
were pointing up toward a round hole of white light.  I clung on for
dear life,  pointing my feet towards the light while being pulled
with equal force by ‘them’ away from the light. They were pulling me
in a direction, downwards, where I didn’t want to go.  At this point
I interpreted the information as a choice between life and death . I
was represented in the light by my name in golden coloured letters. I
had hold of my name with the golden thread of my toes clutching
tenaciously with the thinnest hope to ‘reality’, though I’m not sure
if this was the right way up. At that moment I said to my inner
self, “Is this it? Is this what it feels like to die? Am I gonna
die?” What an inglorious way to go, getting found on the lounge floor
by my family clutching an ‘unknown substance’ in my hands. I said NO,
I can’t, there’s too much at stake. I know this sounds funny, but
believe me, at the time it was no laughing matter.

Meantime, through all of this, my friend has this shitty grin on his
face with ‘there’s nothing I can do’, plastered all over it, and I
see him as if in a TV monitor in the emergency room. “This is it, go
with THEM, there’s nothing I can do”, he seemed to say.

You may now ask, but who are ‘THEY’? Well, I’ve spent a few days
thinking about this, and have come to the conclusion that ‘they’
represent the ‘collective unconscious of authority’, or the super-ego
inside my head. It was at about this point, after I’d said ‘NO’ to
the image of death, microseconds later, that I came gently back and
found myself looking up at my friend. I remember asking him, “is it
OK, now”. I’d laughed the first time, but this time I did not laugh.
After being ‘underwater’ for some 4 minutes, it wasn’t like I had
much oxygen left for laughing.

First, they round up all the village idiots.
Then, with much posturing and strutting, they devour mass quantities of
food in a tax-payer funded banquet.
At the same time, one of the more eloquent idiots stands up in front
and flaps his jaws, as all the others ignore him and gorge themselves at
the feeding trough.
The eloquent idiot then sits down and begins asking his colleagues, who
really weren’t listening, whether he did okay.  They each take turns
giving him strokes of high praise.

Afterward, they hang upon the wall a list of all substances that can be
conceivably called “psychoactive” or “hallucinogenic,” and they all take
turns throwing darts while downing glass after glass of alcohol.
…or so I’ve been told.

Our extract is administered for him at 37 mg/kg. He weighs 90 kilograms.
3,130 mg. total dose (representing 1,700 mg. ibogaine, 1400 mg. of eleven
iboga alkaloids).

By the way, I have a concern about benzodiazipiam in the patients system. I
am advised by someone who went through Sara’s clinic learning that these
prescription drugs in the system can induce seizures, and if seizures pose a
greater risk during iboga extract administration, if the patient is a long

FWIW, I was treated for coke addiction with alcohol
(not physically addicted to alcohol) at 18mg/kg of
HCL, 100mg of which was an hour or so earlier as a
test dose and a few hundred mg’s when it didn’t hit me
enough (rocked/wobbled). I immediately stopped all
drugs with no problems.  The first was “booster” was
needed (started having a hard time) at about 6 months
but couldn’t get it done for another 3 months by which

“will go for a high dose ”

So
unlikely to be an arrestable offence anymore but …

Andria,

Does that mean that schedule 3 is not a severe schedule.  For instance, what
schedule is heroin in?

PART B – AUTHORITY TO CONTROL; STANDARDS AND SCHEDULES

ง 811. Authority and criteria for classification of
substances.

(a) Rules and regulations of Attorney General; hearing
The Attorney General shall apply the provisions of
this subchapter to the controlled substances listed in
the schedules established by section 812 of this title
and to any other drug or other substance added to such
schedules under this subchapter. Except as provided in
subsections (d) and (e) of this section, the Attorney
General may by rule –

(1) add to such a schedule or transfer between such
schedules any drug or other substance if he –
(A) finds that such drug or other substance has a
potential for abuse, and
(B) makes with respect to such drug or other substance
the findings prescribed by subsection (b) of section
812 of this title for the schedule in which such drug
is to be placed; or
(2) remove any drug or other substance from the
schedules if he finds that the drug or other substance
does not meet the requirements for inclusion in any
schedule.
Rules of the Attorney General under this subsection
shall be made on the record after opportunity for a
hearing pursuant to the rulemaking procedures
prescribed by subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5.
Proceedings for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of
such rules may be initiated by the Attorney General
(1) on his own motion, (2) at the request of the
Secretary, or (3) on the petition of any interested
party.

(b) Evaluation of drugs and other substances
The Attorney General shall, before initiating
proceedings under subsection (a) of this section to
control a drug or other substance or to remove a drug
or other substance entirely from the schedules, and
after gathering the necessary data, request from the
Secretary a scientific and medical evaluation, and his
recommendations, as to whether such drug or other
substance should be so controlled or removed as a
controlled substance. In making such evaluation and
recommendations, the Secretary shall consider the
factors listed in paragraphs (2), (3), (6), (7), and
(8) of subsection (c) of this section and any
scientific or medical considerations involved in
paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) of such subsection. The
recommendations of the Secretary shall include
recommendations with respect to the appropriate
schedule, if any, under which such drug or other
substance should be listed. The evaluation and the
recommendations of the Secretary shall be made in
writing and submitted to the Attorney General within a
reasonable time. The recommendations of the Secretary
to the Attorney General shall be binding on the
Attorney General as to such scientific and medical
matters, and if the Secretary recommends that a drug
or other substance not be controlled, the Attorney
General shall not control the drug or other substance.
If the Attorney General determines that these facts
and all other relevant data constitute substantial
evidence of potential for abuse such as to warrant
control or substantial evidence that the drug or other
substance should be removed entirely from the
schedules, he shall initiate proceedings for control
or removal, as the case may be, under subsection (a)
of this section.

(c) Factors determinative of control or removal from
schedules
In making any finding under subsection (a) of this
section or under subsection (b) of section 812 of this
title, the Attorney General shall consider the
following factors with respect to each drug or other
substance proposed to be controlled or removed from
the schedules:

(1) Its actual or relative potential for abuse.
(2) Scientific evidence of its pharmacological effect,
if known.
(3) The state of current scientific knowledge
regarding the drug or other substance.
(4) Its history and current pattern of abuse.
(5) The scope, duration, and significance of abuse.
(6) What, if any, risk there is to the public health.
(7) Its psychic or physiological dependence liability.

(8) Whether the substance is an immediate precursor of
a substance already controlled under this subchapter.
(d) International treaties, conventions, and protocols
requiring control; procedures respecting changes in
drug schedules of Convention on Psychotropic
Substances
(1) If control is required by United States
obligations under international treaties, conventions,
or protocols in effect on October 27, 1970, the
Attorney General shall issue an order controlling such
drug under the schedule he deems most appropriate to
carry out such obligations, without regard to the
findings required by subsection (a) of this section or
section 812(b) of this title and without regard to the
procedures prescribed by subsections (a) and (b) of
this section.
(2)
(A) Whenever the Secretary of State receives
notification from the Secretary-General of the United
Nations that information has been transmitted by or to
the World Health Organization, pursuant to article 2
of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, which
may justify adding a drug or other substance to one of
the schedules of the Convention, transferring a drug
or substance from one schedule to another, or deleting
it from the schedules, the Secretary of State shall
immediately transmit the notice to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services who shall publish it in the
Federal Register and provide opportunity to interested
persons to submit to him comments respecting the
scientific and medical evaluations which he is to
prepare respecting such drug or substance. The
Secretary of Health and Human Services shall prepare
for transmission through the Secretary of State to the
World Health Organization such medical and scientific
evaluations as may be appropriate regarding the
possible action that could be proposed by the World
Health Organization respecting the drug or substance
with respect to which a notice was transmitted under
this subparagraph.
(B) Whenever the Secretary of State receives
information that the Commission on Narcotic Drugs of
the United Nations proposes to decide whether to add a
drug or other substance to one of the schedules of the
Convention, transfer a drug or substance from one
schedule to another, or delete it from the schedules,
the Secretary of State shall transmit timely notice to
the Secretary of Health and Human Services of such
information who shall publish a summary of such
information in the Federal Register and provide
opportunity to interested persons to submit to him
comments respecting the recommendation which he is to
furnish, pursuant to this subparagraph, respecting
such proposal. The Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall evaluate the proposal and furnish a
recommendation to the Secretary of State which shall
be binding on the representative of the United States
in discussions and negotiations relating to the
proposal.
(3) When the United States receives notification of a
scheduling decision pursuant to article 2 of the
Convention on Psychotropic Substances that a drug or
other substance has been added or transferred to a
schedule specified in the notification or receives
notification (referred to in this subsection as a
”schedule notice”) that existing legal controls
applicable under this subchapter to a drug or
substance and the controls required by the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.)
do not meet the requirements of the schedule of the
Convention in which such drug or substance has been
placed, the Secretary of Health and Human Services
after consultation with the Attorney General, shall
first determine whether existing legal controls under
this subchapter applicable to the drug or substance
and the controls required by the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act, meet the requirements of the
schedule specified in the notification or schedule
notice and shall take the following action:
(A) If such requirements are met by such existing
controls but the Secretary of Health and Human
Services nonetheless believes that more stringent
controls should be applied to the drug or substance,
the Secretary shall recommend to the Attorney General
that he initiate proceedings for scheduling the drug
or substance, pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of
this section, to apply to such controls.
(B) If such requirements are not met by such existing
controls and the Secretary of Health and Human
Services concurs in the scheduling decision or
schedule notice transmitted by the notification, the
Secretary shall recommend to the Attorney General that
he initiate proceedings for scheduling the drug or
substance under the appropriate schedule pursuant to
subsections (a) and (b) of this section.
(C) If such requirements are not met by such existing
controls and the Secretary of Health and Human
Services does not concur in the scheduling decision or
schedule notice transmitted by the notification, the
Secretary shall –
(i) if he deems that additional controls are necessary
to protect the public health and safety, recommend to
the Attorney General that he initiate proceedings for
scheduling the drug or substance pursuant to
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, to apply such
additional controls;
(ii) request the Secretary of State to transmit a
notice of qualified acceptance, within the period
specified in the Convention, pursuant to paragraph 7
of article 2 of the Convention, to the
Secretary-General of the United Nations;
(iii) request the Secretary of State to transmit a
notice of qualified acceptance as prescribed in clause
(ii) and request the Secretary of State to ask for a
review by the Economic and Social Council of the
United Nations, in accordance with paragraph 8 of
article 2 of the Convention, of the scheduling
decision; or
(iv) in the case of a schedule notice, request the
Secretary of State to take appropriate action under
the Convention to initiate proceedings to remove the
drug or substance from the schedules under the
Convention or to transfer the drug or substance to a
schedule under the Convention different from the one
specified in the schedule notice.
(4)
(A) If the Attorney General determines, after
consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, that proceedings initiated under
recommendations made under paragraph (FOOTNOTE 1)
(B) or (C)(i) of paragraph (3) will not be completed
within the time period required by paragraph 7 of
article 2 of the Convention, the Attorney General,
after consultation with the Secretary and after
providing interested persons opportunity to submit
comments respecting the requirements of the temporary
order to be issued under this sentence, shall issue a
temporary order controlling the drug or substance
under schedule IV or V, whichever is most appropriate
to carry out the minimum United States obligations
under paragraph 7 of article 2 of the Convention. As a
part of such order, the Attorney General shall, after
consultation with the Secretary, except such drug or
substance from the application of any provision of
part C of this subchapter which he finds is not
required to carry out the United States obligations
under paragraph 7 of article 2 of the Convention. In
the case of proceedings initiated under subparagraph
(B) of paragraph (3), the Attorney General,
concurrently with the issuance of such order, shall
request the Secretary of State to transmit a notice of
qualified acceptance to the Secretary-General of the
United Nations pursuant to paragraph 7 of article 2 of
the Convention. A temporary order issued under this
subparagraph controlling a drug or other substance
subject to proceedings initiated under subsections (a)
and (b) of this section shall expire upon the
effective date of the application to the drug or
substance of the controls resulting from such
proceedings. (FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably
should be ”subparagraph”.
(B) After a notice of qualified acceptance of a
scheduling decision with respect to a drug or other
substance is transmitted to the Secretary-General of
the United Nations in accordance with clause (ii) or
(iii) of paragraph (3)(C) or after a request has been
made under clause (iv) of such paragraph with respect
to a drug or substance described in a schedule notice,
the Attorney General, after consultation with the
Secretary of Health and Human Services and after
providing interested persons opportunity to submit
comments respecting the requirements of the order to
be issued under this sentence, shall issue an order
controlling the drug or substance under schedule IV or
V, whichever is most appropriate to carry out the
minimum United States obligations under paragraph 7 of
article 2 of the Convention in the case of a drug or
substance for which a notice of qualified acceptance
was transmitted or whichever the Attorney General
determines is appropriate in the case of a drug or
substance described in a schedule notice. As a part of
such order, the Attorney General shall, after
consultation with the Secretary, except such drug or
substance from the application of any provision of
part C of this subchapter which he finds is not
required to carry out the United States obligations
under paragraph 7 of article 2 of the Convention. If,
as a result of a review under paragraph 8 of article 2
of the Convention of the scheduling decision with
respect to which a notice of qualified acceptance was
transmitted in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of
paragraph (3)(C) –
(i) the decision is reversed, and
(ii) the drug or substance subject to such decision is
not required to be controlled under schedule IV or V
to carry out the minimum United States obligations
under paragraph 7 of article 2 of the Convention,
the order issued under this subparagraph with respect
to such drug or substance shall expire upon receipt by
the United States of the review decision. If, as a
result of action taken pursuant to action initiated
under a request transmitted under clause (iv) of
paragraph (3)(C), the drug or substance with respect
to which such action was taken is not required to be
controlled under schedule IV or V, the order issued
under this paragraph with respect to such drug or
substance shall expire upon receipt by the United
States of a notice of the action taken with respect to
such drug or substance under the Convention.

(C) An order issued under subparagraph (A) or (B) may
be issued without regard to the findings required by
subsection (a) of this section or by section 812(b) of
this title and without regard to the procedures
prescribed by subsection (a) or (b) of this section.
(5) Nothing in the amendments made by the Psychotropic
Substances Act of 1978 or the regulations or orders
promulgated thereunder shall be construed to preclude
requests by the Secretary of Health and Human Services
or the Attorney General through the Secretary of
State, pursuant to article 2 or other applicable
provisions of the Convention, for review of scheduling
decisions under such Convention, based on new or
additional information.
(e) Immediate precursors
The Attorney General may, without regard to the
findings required by subsection (a) of this section or
section 812(b) of this title and without regard to the
procedures prescribed by subsections (a) and (b) of
this section, place an immediate precursor in the same
schedule in which the controlled substance of which it
is an immediate precursor is placed or in any other
schedule with a higher numerical designation. If the
Attorney General designates a substance as an
immediate precursor and places it in a schedule, other
substances shall not be placed in a schedule solely
because they are its precursors.

(f) Abuse potential
If, at the time a new-drug application is submitted to
the Secretary for any drug having a stimulant,
depressant, or hallucinogenic effect on the central
nervous system, it appears that such drug has an abuse
potential, such information shall be forwarded by the
Secretary to the Attorney General.

(g) Exclusion of non-narcotic substances sold over the
counter without a prescription; dextromethorphan;
exemption of substances lacking abuse potential
(1) The Attorney General shall by regulation exclude
any non-narcotic substance from a schedule if such
substance may, under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), be lawfully sold
over the counter without a prescription.
(2) Dextromethorphan shall not be deemed to be
included in any schedule by reason of enactment of
this subchapter unless controlled after October 27,
1970 pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
section.
(3) The Attorney General may, by regulation, exempt
any compound, mixture, or preparation containing a
controlled substance from the application of all or
any part of this subchapter if he finds such compound,
mixture, or preparation meets the requirements of one
of the following categories:
(A) A mixture, or preparation containing a nonnarcotic
controlled substance, which mixture or preparation is
approved for prescription use, and which contains one
or more other active ingredients which are not listed
in any schedule and which are included therein in such
combinations, quantity, proportion, or concentration
as to vitiate the potential for abuse.
(B) A compound, mixture, or preparation which contains
any controlled substance, which is not for
administration to a human being or animal, and which
is packaged in such form or concentration, or with
adulterants or denaturants, so that as packaged it
does not present any significant potential for abuse.
(h) Temporary scheduling to avoid imminent hazards to
public safety
(1) If the Attorney General finds that the scheduling
of a substance in schedule I on a temporary basis is
necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public
safety, he may, by order and without regard to the
requirements of subsection (b) of this section
relating to the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, schedule such substance in schedule I if the
substance is not listed in any other schedule in
section 812 of this title or if no exemption or
approval is in effect for the substance under section
505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21
U.S.C. 355). Such an order may not be issued before
the expiration of thirty days from –
(A) the date of the publication by the Attorney
General of a notice in the Federal Register of the
intention to issue such order and the grounds upon
which such order is to be issued, and
(B) the date the Attorney General has transmitted the
notice required by paragraph (4).
(2) The scheduling of a substance under this
subsection shall expire at the end of one year from
the date of the issuance of the order scheduling such
substance, except that the Attorney General may,
during the pendency of proceedings under subsection
(a)(1) of this section with respect to the substance,
extend the temporary scheduling for up to six months.
(3) When issuing an order under paragraph (1), the
Attorney General shall be required to consider, with
respect to the finding of an imminent hazard to the
public safety, only those factors set forth in
paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) of subsection (c) of this
section, including actual abuse, diversion from
legitimate channels, and clandestine importation,
manufacture, or distribution.
(4) The Attorney General shall transmit notice of an
order proposed to be issued under paragraph (1) to the
Secretary of Health and Human Services. In issuing an
order under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall
take into consideration any comments submitted by the
Secretary in response to a notice transmitted pursuant
to this paragraph.
(5) An order issued under paragraph (1) with respect
to a substance shall be vacated upon the conclusion of
a subsequent rulemaking proceeding initiated under
subsection (a) of this section with respect to such
substance.
(6) An order issued under paragraph (1) is not subject
to judicial review.

“Any particular advice in dealing with cocaine-only
addicts?”

FWIW, I was treated for coke addiction with alcohol
(not physically addicted to alcohol) at 18mg/kg of
HCL, 100mg of which was an hour or so earlier as a
test dose and a few hundred mg’s when it didn’t hit me
enough (rocked/wobbled). I immediately stopped all
drugs with no problems.  The first was “booster” was
needed (started having a hard time) at about 6 months
but couldn’t get it done for another 3 months by which
time I started drinking somewhat.

“will go for a high dose ”

How much were you considering, age, weight…? (if you
don’t mind… <g>)

Thanks,
Brett

I just asked this in another group, where we are talking about Salvia. But

I know this doesn’t make sense.

What makes it illegal is the perception on the part of law makers
that some (young) people somewhere are using it to get high. “High”
means unauthorized access to higher consciousness. Because there is
no higher consciousness than support for a completely drug free
existence. All else is perjurious. An illegal lie. In their minds.

Go ask the two Congresspeople who introduced the bill what their
subjective interpretation is.

BTW, DEA says this stuff has low potential for abuse because only one
in twenty people do it more than once. Their law was designed to
prohibit pot, you see, or LSD– which people DO want to do again.

treatment

if it works so well ?

And this is for the questions
that don’t have any answers
The midnight glances
And the topless dancers
The gang of freaks
Cars packed with speakers
The G’s with the forty’s
And the chicks with beepers
The northern lights
And the Southern Comfort
And it don’t even matter
if your veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And all my fucking heroes in the methadone clinics

All you bastards in the IRS
For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
For the shots of jack and the caps of meth
Half pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all trickin out in Hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
You can look for answers, but that ain’t fun
So get in the pit and try to love someone

Salvia divinorum,

So finally, after 10 years from the time that Sd featured in my
African Space Opera, my botanist editor actually did what was
written. He has grown, prepared, and smoked, 5g of Sd at his
farm. Some hours later, I got a phone call from him, and this is what
he said:

It all started with three tattered  rooted cuttings that barely made
the trip from overseas in the post. At the time I thought that I’m
probably the first person on the African continent that’s done this,
because seeds are practically unknown to this species, being only a
rare occurrence for them to flower, so fresh cuttings to survive a
two week journey through the post was already a miracle. Upon opening
the envelope, I immediately rushed them into R&R, which meant putting
them into peat moss in pots and then into ideal greenhouse
conditions. Fortunately, they responded well, and after six months I
had propagated more than 100  plants from the original three
cuttings.

I’d read  (on the Net) that you could chew it, like the Mazatecs, by
placing 20 pairs of leaves into a quid in the pouch of your mouth,
allowing the active ingredient, Salvinorin A, into the bloodstream
sublingually. This method proved unsatisfactory, and effects proved
only slightly detectable, compared to what happened later.
Some months later, again on the Net, I came across an extraction
protocol using acetone to extract the salvinorin from the leaves,
resulting in a 5X smokable extract, a leafy combustible material.
This turned out to be the right solution. A very smoothly smokable
substance it turned out to be.

Here’s what happened:

It was a mid-morning week day, everyone out to work or school, my
psychonaut friend and I embarked on a mission to evaluate, what
probably amounts to the first 5X extract of Salvia divinorum
processed in Africa. We did two experiments during a lovely sunny
morning. At first, we rolled a thinny with a pinch of the moist dark
green preparation and lit up, each taking 2-3 puffs. The effects at
this stage were similar to a batch of 10X I’d had tried previously
from a friend of mine in Oregon, so when the effects started coming
on, I recognised them in this context.

The power of the drug came at me from the left and proceeded to push
me over into the couch where I sort of waited it through and within
2-3 minutes I was able to laugh it off because I imagined my friend
being worried about my mental state. Then we talked about it, and a
half-an-hour elapsed till I was ready to go again. My friend said
he’d read that the active ingredient needed relatively high
temperatures to vaporise, and that this could only be achieved in a
pipe bowl, or bhong. We hunted one down, stuffed the bowl packed
tightly with about half-a-gram of 5X and proceeded to torch the
material. My friend took the first puff, me taking the second,
hotter, deep puff, and sure enough this is where it all started.

It was only a matter of a couple of seconds before I could actually
see IT/THEM coming into my  peripheral (left) vision or POV, like a
freight train coming around the corner heading straight for me.
Changing the analogy, it was also like I was gripped by my left arm,
and another hand grasping the scruff of my neck. It started pulling
me back, then around in a spiral. I imagined myself going back,
through the kitchen wall, being sucked into the kitchen cupboards,
but before I could get there it changed directions and wanted to take
me out through the front wall towards the outside of the house. The
whole while I was thinking to myself that my wife will come home and
find me DOA surrounded by paramedics. But back to what was happening.

The experience could also be compared to a wave of water coming down
a canyon, an unstoppable force equal to that of a tidal wave of some
kind of energy, a tsunami. I began to tumble from the force applied
and seemed to have one eye above water and THREE eyes below water: a
proportion of 25/75% vision/consciousness, the rest was, in an
analogy, ‘underwater’. I was totally unable to control my reactions,
it was too real, it was overwhelming, it was frightening. At that
stage I had no choice other than to go with the flow of being tumbled
down the vortex, like Alice in wonderland. It was only when it came
to the crunch that I had any choice, or so it seemed. Three quarters
though the turn of the vortex, or through the cycle of what was
happening, a fork in the path occurred and the vortex began to morph
into a split into the direction I wanted to go, and the direction
THEY wanted to go. They were pulling at me so hard that it felt like
my clothes were being ripped off my body. At this stage I had twisted
my body during the ‘turn’ and my head was on the ground while my feet
were pointing up toward a round hole of white light.  I clung on for
dear life,  pointing my feet towards the light while being pulled
with equal force by ‘them’ away from the light. They were pulling me
in a direction, downwards, where I didn’t want to go.  At this point
I interpreted the information as a choice between life and death . I
was represented in the light by my name in golden coloured letters. I
had hold of my name with the golden thread of my toes clutching
tenaciously with the thinnest hope to ‘reality’, though I’m not sure
if this was the right way up. At that moment I said to my inner
self, “Is this it? Is this what it feels like to die? Am I gonna
die?” What an inglorious way to go, getting found on the lounge floor
by my family clutching an ‘unknown substance’ in my hands. I said NO,
I can’t, there’s too much at stake. I know this sounds funny, but
believe me, at the time it was no laughing matter.

Meantime, through all of this, my friend has this shitty grin on his
face with ‘there’s nothing I can do’, plastered all over it, and I
see him as if in a TV monitor in the emergency room. “This is it, go
with THEM, there’s nothing I can do”, he seemed to say.

You may now ask, but who are ‘THEY’? Well, I’ve spent a few days
thinking about this, and have come to the conclusion that ‘they’
represent the ‘collective unconscious of authority’, or the super-ego
inside my head. It was at about this point, after I’d said ‘NO’ to
the image of death, microseconds later, that I came gently back and
found myself looking up at my friend. I remember asking him, “is it
OK, now”. I’d laughed the first time, but this time I did not laugh.
After being ‘underwater’ for some 4 minutes, it wasn’t like I had
much oxygen left for laughing.

Chris, everyone

And this sure is a tres important question.

Let me see; we had the recent scheduling of Ibogaine in U.K into schedule 3, (kinda like what they are in process of doing) with cannabis here too. So unlikely to be an arrestable offence anymore but …

Who? It’s basically a combination of people as far as I’m aware over here: The Chief medical Officer (to govt) and co ltd. I’m not an expert on this, though your question will cause me to research further over the next week, but as far as I’m aware, such a thing cannot happen without the issue going b4 our parliament ultimately, OR they just decide it without much discussion in there (as they did with cannabis). And the way that happened was through a funk of a lot of lobbying on our part, electoral pressure (from de people) and experts finally openly telling the govt that this substance was really not that dangerous. (Mind U they had done that 80yrs ago!)

A problem with all of this, is that governments change regularly, so for example IF they had not got cannabis rescheduled in statute (law) by the time another govt came in… we could actually have that decision reversed by the new govt. Unlikley but NOT impossible.

(Indeed, it could happen anyway..) i just happen to think it is unlikely at this stage because of all the MM marches, and the fact that rich/powerful people are beginning to support drug policy reform, not to mention the fact that this generation of politicians have for the most part, as opposed to popular opinion, inhaled!

andria x

I just asked this in another group, where we are talking about Salvia. But
I could be asking it for ibogaine too, and I think it is a very important
question……Who is it that decides something is illegal? Pretend I’m
talking about iboga here. Maybe someone in this group knows the answer:

“I don’t think I ever got a straight answer to who actually “looks at”
these
things, and who are the people who decide they are going to be illegal.
That’s a very important thing to know, if you’re trying to fight it. Who
are the damn people who do all this? That’s who you want to target. If you
don’t Salvia illegalized, you gotta start firing off letters to them….So
who are they? I asked this in drugwar, and I got every answer, but the
actual answer to the question.”

As much as I respect Dr. Mash’s work, to the FDA, she is a nobody. Being
that you are not american, you may not understand the colossal mess that
is american politics. Everything in american politics is centred around
money, and most decisions are made because people with money lobby the
government.

The only way i can forsee ibogaine being approved by the FDA in the near
future (i.e. before a revolution) would be for someone to figure out a way
to make money off it. The best chances we have so far for this are Dr
Mash’s work with noribogaine, and Dr Glick’s work with 18-MC. Unlike
ibogaine, these substances could be patented, and ergo, a profit could be
made.

to get Ibogaine treatment unless it is a programm given by the government which isn’t yet there.

I don’t get any  grants to help them , I gave 20% of the treatment  gratis and other 20% for the cost of the Iboga and the food , just because there is no other way out

Ascending is all right 🙂 I must throw in my .2 cents here too. I know addiction is a bad thing and it’s hard to be positive while you are in it and I know a lot of the people reading this list are still stuck there. But nearly all the people posting were all once in the same place and got out of there. Being miserable and depressed doesn’t help any, if you need that then go to a 12 step meeting. More then enough depression there.

I thought the conference notes were funny shit too and did not get any great sense of malice out of it. It was funny and about as harsh as a celebrity roast. And every one of those people Dana, Patrick, Mash, has made the choice to be public figures who go around writing and saying whatever it is that they individually do. Nobody told them to go do that and I’m sure each of them has had their share of being knocked and can deal with it. If you can’t then maybe you shouldn’t be doing public speaking or write things that get read by a lot of people.

Peace out,
Curtis

Hi all, I have to agree with this. All of this started
when Vector posted some message that was less then
mature. What everyone everlooked except for Jane 😉
is he said he gave it some thought and then stopped.
Even when other people picked a fight with him and
called him gay he didn’t respond. So this one teenager
had more maturity then the entire group of people who
have kept this dead conversation going for the last
week.

Thank you Vector.

Er, no, sorry. Though there are a few copies about. I haven’t looked at mine

I wrote that piece after an ibogaine experience sometime in 99. It felt like
it was pretty much channelled really, quite a lot of people get channelling
experiences on iboga. Curiously enough, the effect is usually stronger when
you are just sitting for someone doing iboga. Most of the material for the
chapter on the occult I got whilst doing my tarot study group coursework
(which I was miles behind with at the time) in a room next to where my
brother was doing a big ibo session. It just drops out of the ether into
your head

Hi all,

/////////////////////////////////
http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,55999,00.html

The maker of an implantable human ID chip has launched a national
campaign
to promote the device, offering $50 discounts to the first 100,000
people
who register to get embedded with the microchip.
Applied Digital Solutions has coined the tagline “Get Chipped” to
market
its product, VeriChip.
The rice-size device costs $200. Those implanted must also pay for
the
doctor’s injection fee and a monthly $10 database maintenance charge,
said
ADS spokesman Matthew Cossolotto.
The VeriChip emits a 125-kilohertz radio frequency signal that transmits

its unique ID number to a scanner. The number then accesses a computer

database containing the client’s file. Customers fill out a form
detailing
the information they want linked to their chip when they undergo
the
procedure, Cossolotto said.
Earlier this week, ADS announced that the FDA had ruled that the
VeriChip
was not a regulated device when used for “security, financial and
personal
identification/safety applications.”
The agency’s sudden approval of the microchip came despite an FDA

investigator’s concern about the potential health effects of the
device in
humans. (Microchips have been used to track animals for years.)
The company is marketing the device for a variety of security
applications,

including:
* Controlling access to physical structures, such as government
or private
sector offices or nuclear power plants. Instead of swiping a smart
card,
employees could swipe the arm containing the chip.
* Reducing financial fraud. In this scenario, people could use their
chip
to withdraw money from ATMs; their accounts could not be accessed
unless
they were physically present.
* Decreasing identity theft. People could use the chip as a password
to
access their computer at home, for example.
Cossolotto said ADS has gotten “hundreds” of inquiries from people

interested in being implanted.
Meanwhile, privacy advocates are wondering about the specter of
forced
chippings.
“(ID chips) are a form of electronic leashes, a form of digital
control,”
said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy

Information Center. “What happens if an employer makes it a condition
of
employment for a person to be implanted with the chip? It could
easily
become a condition of release for parolees or a requirement for
welfare.”
Rotenberg said EPIC has filed a Freedom of Information Request to
learn
more details about the FDA’s sudden approval of VeriChip.
The chip has also alarmed some Christians, who fear it is the biblical

“Mark of the Beast”; dozens of websites allude to the Satanic
implications

of the technology.
The company has consistently tried to allay such fears since the
chip
debuted in December 2001.
“It’s a voluntary device that we think has enormous utility,” Cossolotto

said. “This is intended for good purposes.”
ADS said seven health-care facilities, located in Arizona, Texas,
Florida
and Virginia, have signed up to distribute the chip, in addition
to
mobilizing a large bus the company has outfitted as a mobile “chipping

station.” Would-be customers can also register online.
The company plans to develop a prototype for an implantable GPS
ID chip by
the end of the year.

DANA

Have U ever made an official application to OSI, or the Tides Foundation for money re Ibogaine-related activities?

After the Albuquerque DPA conference, i called Marsha Rosenbaum direct in Ca (director of the DPA West Coast), to ask her about something that happened at this conference, which was –  she looked like she was trying to stop somebody speaking  who wanted to promote this treatment. I gave her a look that coulda killed then noted that the chair of the session decided (he was in public view of everyone after all) to let the man ask his question, BUT the entire panel refused to even address/answer the question

That folks is prob.what U get when a very small no of people hold the purse-strings in the entire Reform/Treatment movement in America; I know what I’d do if I lived over there..

Anyways, I don’t – TG 4 me

Just to letcha know, and my guess is that this anecdote verifies Dana statement about OSI/Funding re Ibogaine

Certainly that’s my take on it, and why we had Hattie write the article for a recent Users Voice mag. Then i posted that particular edition to many prescribers, but i must say that most of them, so far, are very much into the methadone orthodoxy as it is the MOST researched treatment for opiate addicts

girlfriend–he does everything she tells him to.

Note, the use of the term “pussy” is only a used in
the context of a question of terminology and not
intended to offend anyone.

Gee, that was fun…

hmmm. it could be a homosexual that’s obsessed with cats…

Dear Patrick and Marko. I’ve always had the impression both of you
are crazy, not stupid. Somebody is fucking with both of you.
Somebody reading this list who took the time to make the message
look like it was written by Marko.

This didn’t go through the ibogaine list, it went through private
email, so this person is reading the list and then sending emails to
people personally. This is coming out of a machine in czech
republic. Which is being connected to by a dialup so unless they are
making a big bill, this person is in the czech republic.

I would guess that in addition to making it look like the two of you
are sending something (I wonder what it could be) to each other,
there was a  attachment which hush automatically strips so I can’t
look at it but probably another outlook exploit.

One clue is the ref to Soros. NO Soros-connected Drug Reform org
gives money for Ibogaine stuff. It could be some one who knows that
and is mocking you.

Maybe some one on the fringes of the Soros scene who wants to rub

Americans increasingly understand that our consumption of illegal drugs has
been an engine for corruption, violence, and underdevelopment in Latin
America. As with the drug problem generally, too many people have concluded
that these problems are intractable, and have written off hope for real
progress. But a string of recent elections and acts of political courage
should cause the cynics to sit up and take notice.
What we are witnessing right now in Latin America is nothing less than a
revolution in the way nations perceive the linkages between criminal and
political terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption, and weak government
institutions. Rather than meekly accepting these as facts of life, leaders
such as Mexico’s Vicente Fox and Colombia’s Alvaro Uribe are pushing back.
These developments present the United States with solid allies and hopeful
new opportunities.

Ibogaine: Moving beyond Agonist/Antagonist/Maintenance Medications
Towards an Addiction Interrupter Model

Dana Beal Cures not Wars New York NY
Patrick Kroupa MindVox, Inc. New York NY
Deborah C. Mash University of Miami School of Medicine Miami FL

I’d go except that’s $600 for round trip tickets from SF to Seattle,
$400 for hotels and $500 admission to this? Who thought up that
price? Here’s my version of the scheduled event 🙂

Dana Beal. I was the chief theoretician of YIPL…kind of the
Michael Suslov of the counter-culture. I ran the yippies, the white
panthers, the church of Phillip K. Dick and started the entire
smoking pot is my right movement before High Times ever existed. I
am the reason that High Times and Abbie Hofman even existed. And I
have been smoking pot longer then most of you have been alive.
Ibogaine is good too, but the failure of ibogaine treatment is that
people don’t start smoking pot right away after taking ibogaine. I
know everyone from the 60’s who has stayed alive and am the only
living person who is crazier then Patrick Kroupa. Having both of us
in the same room can cause rifts in time and space to open, which
brings me to the main subject of my speech, zero point gravity
physics and is Phillip K. Dick god or the son of god. Ibogaine is
good too but let me get back to Phillip K. Dick. Phillip K. Dick
invented pot by the way.

This is not my bio, or at least the one I submitted. I no longer even
smoke pot very much– and I think this makes light of the fact that
only 60 or 70 percent of addicts who do ibogaine get off drugs
successfully–whereas because the system of separating pot from hard
drugs in Holland, 100 percent of Dutch people who never start doing
heroin because of the coffee shop system are protected from negative
consequences of addiction.

Just a thought.

Midwife Who Supplied Illegal Drugs Headed To Jail
Amish Woman Could Serve Up To 6 Months

POSTED: 7:46 p.m. EDT October 23, 2002

MILLERSBURG, Ohio — A midwife serving the Amish community of northeast Ohio surrendered Wednesday to begin serving a jail sentence for contempt of court.

Frieda Miller, 47, was jailed for refusing to disclose the source of drugs that she illegally gave a new mother to slow bleeding after childbirth. She could serve up to six months.

Miller pleaded guilty in May to misdemeanor charges of attempted unauthorized practice of medicine and possession of dangerous drugs.

/////////////////////////////////
http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,55999,00.html

The maker of an implantable human ID chip has launched a national
campaign
to promote the device, offering $50 discounts to the first 100,000
people
who register to get embedded with the microchip.
Applied Digital Solutions has coined the tagline “Get Chipped” to
market
its product, VeriChip.
The rice-size device costs $200. Those implanted must also pay for
the
doctor’s injection fee and a monthly $10 database maintenance charge,
said
ADS spokesman Matthew Cossolotto.
The VeriChip emits a 125-kilohertz radio frequency signal that transmits

its unique ID number to a scanner. The number then accesses a computer

database containing the client’s file. Customers fill out a form
detailing
the information they want linked to their chip when they undergo
the
procedure, Cossolotto said.
Earlier this week, ADS announced that the FDA had ruled that the
VeriChip
was not a regulated device when used for “security, financial and
personal
identification/safety applications.”
The agency’s sudden approval of the microchip came despite an FDA

investigator’s concern about the potential health effects of the
device in
humans. (Microchips have been used to track animals for years.)
The company is marketing the device for a variety of security applications,

including:
* Controlling access to physical structures, such as government
or private
sector offices or nuclear power plants. Instead of swiping a smart
card,
employees could swipe the arm containing the chip.
* Reducing financial fraud. In this scenario, people could use their
chip
to withdraw money from ATMs; their accounts could not be accessed
unless
they were physically present.
* Decreasing identity theft. People could use the chip as a password
to
access their computer at home, for example.
Cossolotto said ADS has gotten “hundreds” of inquiries from people

interested in being implanted.
Meanwhile, privacy advocates are wondering about the specter of
forced
chippings.
“(ID chips) are a form of electronic leashes, a form of digital
control,”
said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy

Information Center. “What happens if an employer makes it a condition
of
employment for a person to be implanted with the chip? It could
easily
become a condition of release for parolees or a requirement for
welfare.”
Rotenberg said EPIC has filed a Freedom of Information Request to
learn
more details about the FDA’s sudden approval of VeriChip.
The chip has also alarmed some Christians, who fear it is the biblical

“Mark of the Beast”; dozens of websites allude to the Satanic implications

of the technology.
The company has consistently tried to allay such fears since the
chip
debuted in December 2001.
“It’s a voluntary device that we think has enormous utility,” Cossolotto

said. “This is intended for good purposes.”
ADS said seven health-care facilities, located in Arizona, Texas,
Florida
and Virginia, have signed up to distribute the chip, in addition
to
mobilizing a large bus the company has outfitted as a mobile “chipping

station.” Would-be customers can also register online.
The company plans to develop a prototype for an implantable GPS
ID chip by
the end of the year.

Ibogaine: Moving beyond Agonist/Antagonist/Maintenance Medications Towards an Addiction Interrupter Model

Dana Beal Cures not Wars New York NY
Patrick Kroupa MindVox, Inc. New York NY
Deborah C. Mash University of Miami School of Medicine Miami FL

I’d go except that’s $600 for round trip tickets from SF to Seattle, $400 for hotels and $500 admission to this? Who thought up that price? Here’s my version of the scheduled event 🙂

Dana Beal. I was the chief theoretician of YIPL…kind of the Michael Suslov of the counter-culture. I ran the yippies, the white panthers, the church of Phillip K. Dick and started the entire smoking pot is my right movement before High Times ever existed. I am the reason that High Times and Abbie Hofman even existed. And I have been smoking pot longer then most of you have been alive. Ibogaine is good too, but the failure of ibogaine treatment is that people don’t start smoking pot right away after taking ibogaine. I know everyone from the 60’s who has stayed alive and am the only living person who is crazier then Patrick Kroupa. Having both of us in the same room can cause rifts in time and space to open, which brings me to the main subject of my speech, zero point gravity physics and is Phillip K. Dick god or the son of god. Ibogaine is good too but let me get back to Phillip K. Dick. Phillip K. Dick invented pot by the way.

Ending statement. George Bush is evil.
Theme music: Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow

Patrick Kroupa, hardcore hacker turned hardcore junkie lowlife, turned most likely to bodily ascend into the light (purple of course) in the next 2 years. Yo, ibogaine is the fucking shit for getting you unsprung, it rocks but let me take an hour to kick it about lsd and godhead. So sit the fuck down and chill out because I will now proceed to talk like I spent half my life standing on a street corner and the other half getting 8 phd’s because my IQ is 300 points higher then you and no matter what you say I can beat you up with my mind. If that doesn’t work I’ll use a fucking tire iron in the parking lot you bitch. Spirituality is the shit man, godhead fucking rocks out and get you hella wasted dogg. I’m finishing a book, it’s called ‘Shooting up God’, it’ll be finished around when Mindvox opens. By the way Mindvox will open some time before the world ends. Time doesn’t exist anyway.

Nick,

Does anyone on earth know how to get iboga plants to set seed.  I
have six plants but can’t find anyone on earth who knows how to get
them to set seed. The flowers have enclosed genitalia which prevents
them cross pollinating and they must use a small insect. This is very
important.  If we could set seed we could supply seed.

love, Chris

Hi Les,

Knowledge of ibogaine’s existence and potential is widening considerably anyway. I don’t think there is any problem with targeting the right people to preach to, personally. It’s more a case of how information is received. The use of psychoactive substances for psychotherapeutic purposes has been established in the past but it’s still very much a grey area. And my experience is that a lot of people in the industry will just switch off once a few of the ibogaine buzzwords such as “psychoactive” “plant-based” or “fatalities” hit their limbic area – their background in psych seemingly not counting for much. A lot comes down to the attitude of government/culture and the practice of using these types of substance just isn’t adequately accepted yet in the West. The yanks lead the cultural blitz on them and, from the mails I get, I don’t see George Bush getting any softer yet-a-while.

Iboga-knowledge increases at a good rate and if there’s a conference in Paris this winter, as planned, it’ll be another vindication for the drug. These things take time, I guess.

Just a few random thoughts

Nick

“There are 5 nations and 19 tribes in which Buiti and
Iboga are used,” said Samorini in a heavy Latin
accent. “Fang Buiti is a mixture of
Byeri [ancestor
worship], traditional Buiti [which uses Iboga], and
Christendom.”

To make contact easier, the heads of their dead
relatives are kept in boxes in the temple. Samorini
laughed and told how tribespeople, hoping to fully
initiate him into the Byeri ritual, asked him if he
couldn’t get the head of one of his dead relatives for
the temple.

Other mind-altering plants also play big roles in
ancestor worship, and in the physical and spiritual
healing of the locals of Gabon. These plants, Samorini
discovered, go by the common name for sacrament, which
is “Ibogi.”

“Cannabis is one of the Ibogi,” revealed Samorini.
“Cannabis is used in Buiti and in other religious
cults. Not everywhere, but almost everywhere.”

Hi all,

Big Brother made a step forward – thanks to FDA… And tomorrow you’ll be obliged by the law to have this chip implanted…

Mooooove while you can ;-))

Marko
/////////////////////////////////
http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,55999,00.html

The maker of an implantable human ID chip has launched a national campaign to promote the device, offering $50 discounts to the first 100,000 people who register to get embedded with the microchip.
Applied Digital Solutions has coined the tagline “Get Chipped” to market its product, VeriChip.
The rice-size device costs $200. Those implanted must also pay for the doctor’s injection fee and a monthly $10 database maintenance charge, said ADS spokesman Matthew Cossolotto.
The VeriChip emits a 125-kilohertz radio frequency signal that transmits its unique ID number to a scanner. The number then accesses a computer database containing the client’s file. Customers fill out a form detailing the information they want linked to their chip when they undergo the procedure, Cossolotto said.
Earlier this week, ADS announced that the FDA had ruled that the VeriChip was not a regulated device when used for “security, financial and personal identification/safety applications.”
The agency’s sudden approval of the microchip came despite an FDA investigator’s concern about the potential health effects of the device in humans. (Microchips have been used to track animals for years.)
The company is marketing the device for a variety of security applications, including:
* Controlling access to physical structures, such as government or private sector offices or nuclear power plants. Instead of swiping a smart card, employees could swipe the arm containing the chip.
* Reducing financial fraud. In this scenario, people could use their chip to withdraw money from ATMs; their accounts could not be accessed unless they were physically present.
* Decreasing identity theft. People could use the chip as a password to access their computer at home, for example.
Cossolotto said ADS has gotten “hundreds” of inquiries from people interested in being implanted.
Meanwhile, privacy advocates are wondering about the specter of forced chippings.
“(ID chips) are a form of electronic leashes, a form of digital control,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. “What happens if an employer makes it a condition of employment for a person to be implanted with the chip? It could easily become a condition of release for parolees or a requirement for welfare.”
Rotenberg said EPIC has filed a Freedom of Information Request to learn more details about the FDA’s sudden approval of VeriChip.
The chip has also alarmed some Christians, who fear it is the biblical “Mark of the Beast”; dozens of websites allude to the Satanic implications of the technology.
The company has consistently tried to allay such fears since the chip debuted in December 2001.
“It’s a voluntary device that we think has enormous utility,” Cossolotto said. “This is intended for good purposes.”
ADS said seven health-care facilities, located in Arizona, Texas, Florida and Virginia, have signed up to distribute the chip, in addition to mobilizing a large bus the company has outfitted as a mobile “chipping station.” Would-be customers can also register online.
The company plans to develop a prototype for an implantable GPS ID chip by the end of the year.

Meningitis advisers funded by drug firms 

Fresh controversy surrounding Britain’s Meningitis C 
vaccination programme 

Martin Bright and Tracy McVeigh
Sunday September 3, 2000
The Observer 

Four of the medical experts advising the Government on whether the new meningitis C vaccine is safe have links to one or more of the drug companies that produce it, The Observer has discovered. 
The revelations, following last week’s report of a cover-up of suspected adverse reactions to the drug, has prompted concern among parents and MPs about conflicts of interest in the medical profession.
The Department of Health last night confirmed that Professor Janet Darbyshire, a member of the Government’s Committee on Safety of Medicines, had received support for academic research from US firms Wyeth and Chiron, who produce the two main meningitis products being used on children in Britain: Meningitec and Meninjugate. Darbyshire is professor of epidemiology at London University and director of the Medical Research Council. DoH officials also confirmed that three members of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation had declared interests in vaccine manufacturers.
One of them, Dr David Goldblatt of the Institute of Child Health, has served on an expert advisory panel for Wyeth and received research grants from Wyeth and North American Vaccines, which produces a third meningitis C drug to be introduced this year. Another, Professor Keith Cartwright of the University of Bristol, received funding from the drug industry to ‘evaluate candidate meningicoccal vaccines’. Exposure of the links between the advisers and drugs firms came as the Government’s Chief Medical Officer reacted strongly to last week’s Observer story of how information on possible adverse reactions to the vaccine was kept from parents. In a letter to The Observer, published today, Professor Liam Donaldson insists information on reactions to vaccinations is sent, on request, to members of the public, health professionals or MPs by the Medicines Con trol Agency. ‘There is not, and never has been, a “cover-up” over releasing information about reported deaths or suspected adverse reactions following meningitis C vaccine,’ he said.
This week every GP in the country will receive a statement from the chairs of the two committees, assuring them of the safety of the meningitis C vaccine. The statement, from Professor Alasdair Breckenridge of the Committee on Safety of Medi cines, and Professor Michael Langman of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, updates information made public by The Observer last weekend about bad reactions to the new vaccine reported by GPs and nurses. It says there have been 16,527 reported adverse reactions from 7,742 patients, and 12 deaths. It reiterates that none of the deaths reported by GPs was found to be connected to the vaccine.
The statement ends: ‘The balance of risk and benefit is overwhelmingly favourable. There is no suggestion that this vaccine has led to any deaths. We strongly recommend that those due for vaccination should receive meningitis C vaccine.’ Latest figures show that more than 15 million doses of the meningitis C vaccine have been give to children and teenagers in the past 10 
months. Statistics from the Public Health Laboratory Service show that, in the 15-to-17-year-old group, in the last 12 weeks only six cases of meningitis were reported, compared with 26 in the same period last year. And in children under one year old, there was only one case reported in this period, compared with 19 in 1999. Incidences of meningitis continue to rise in those who have not been vaccinated.
Despite assurances that information on possible adverse reactions to the vaccine is freely available, parents calling the Medicines Control Agency told The Observer they were still being refused the data.
In north Somerset, one mother of a 13-year-old was told ‘it wasn’t necessary’ for her to have that information. ‘My son is about to have his vaccination and, after reading last week’s Observer that figures on adverse reactions existed, I wanted to see them. I believe I have a right as a mother to have all the information to hand when I make a decision,’ she said. She said the agency employee had told her: ‘Stories like this should really be taken cum grano salis – that’s a pinch of salt in English, madam.’ Another caller was told that the MCA did not have the information and referred her to her doctor. A third caller eventually managed to get a copy of the letter sent to GPs.
The figures collated by the agency are based on the ‘yellow card reporting scheme’. This seeks reports of suspected adverse reactions to drugs from health professionals. They are requested to submit reports of reactions whether or not it is clear that a drug or vaccine caused it. The 12 deaths reported under this scheme may be an underestimation, since only around 15 per cent of GPs and healthcare professionals use the yellow card scheme. The Department of Health believes that the reporting rate is higher where a new drug is involved.
The Liberal Democrat consumer affairs spokesman, Norman Baker, has tabled parliamentary questions about the financial interests of members of Department of Health advisory committees. He said last night: ‘This is a question of propriety. There must be enough independent people around to give advice without turning to those who clearly have a conflict of interests. I am not questioning their academic credentials, but with the best will in the world their judgments must be looked at in that context.’ Tory Health spokesman Liam Fox, a GP, said the Government must reassure the public.
The Secretary of State authorised the licence for the Wyeth vaccine, Meningitec, when the mass immunisation programme began last November, on advice >from the Committee on Safety of Medicines. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation also recommended the vaccine. Wyeth spokesman Don Barrett said the amount of money paid to the academic departments of government committee members was confidential. Chiron, whose vaccine was introduced in April, stands to make $200 million from the NHS deal.
Last night the National Meningitis Trust, sponsored by Wyeth, was drawn into the controversy when it refused to disclose how much money it received >from the giant drug company. In a statement, Chief Executive Philip Kirby said: ‘We would refute in the strongest possible terms the suggestion that any information we provide is anything other than totally objective and the best available.’ This week Posh Spice Victoria Beckham revealed she had viral meningitis, a less serious type of the disease. After doctors ordered her to rest, she cancelled several appearances and flew home from Germany. Viral meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and usually clears up within a week or two without treatment.
***************
Eleven die after new vaccine jab

Martin Bright and Miles Barter
Sunday August 27, 2000
The Observer

The Government was last night accused of a cover-up over the
safety of its mass meningitis immunisation programme after The Observer obtained confidential documents that show at least 11 people have died after injections to prevent the disease.

Although doctors have reported the deaths as part of routine monitoring of effects of the vaccine to the Medicines Control Agency (MCA), the Government has not published the figures and last night insisted the programme was safe. Documents from the MCA obtained by The Observer show that since the immunisation programme began last year there have been more than 16,000 adverse reactions reported by GPs under the so-called Yellow Card system. The Department of Health estimates only 10-15 per cent of reactions are reported under the scheme so the real figure is likely to be far higher.

Britain is the first European country to introduce the vaccine. Although GPs have been told it cannot induce symptoms of meningitis, two of the deaths after vaccination have been attributed to ‘septicaemia meningicoccal’, the infection of the blood that results from the disease. Each year around 1,500 people contract meningitis C, with about 150 fatalities. The Government has said the programme had reduced cases by 70 per cent since it was introduced last year. So far 13 million babies, children and adults have been immunised. Shadow Health Secretary Liam Fox last night called on the Government to launch an inquiry into meningitis C immunisation, which was rushed in because of an expected rise in cases over the winter. ‘If information has been withheld, it will lead to suspicions that officials have not been entirely frank.

If 11 deaths have not been made public, the Government risks the public losing faith in the system. This is woefully incompetent.’ Fox, a GP himself, added: ‘Immunisation is about a balance of risks. Although the balance is almost always in favour of immunisation, without information parents cannot be expected to make an informed decision.’

A Department of Health spokeswoman said it chose not to make the deaths public for fear of panicking parents into withdrawing their children from inoculation. The Medicines Control Agency had investigated all the deaths and decided there was no evidence of a
link to the vaccines. ‘We maintain the vaccine is safe,’ she said last night.

A report from the Government’s Committee on the Safety of Medicines last Thursday gave the vaccine the all-clear after extensive inquiries into the level of reactions. The main supplier of the drug, US company Wyeth, said it had not been informed of any fatalities by the Department of Health. Spokesman Don Barrett said: ‘We are always in contact with the Department and the rate of reactions is considered to be at a very low level for the number vaccinated.’

Isabella Thomas, of vaccination support group Jabs (Justice Awareness Basic Support), said she had had reports of children having fits after being given the vaccine: ‘I am not convinced by government reassurances. We are receiving daily calls from parents whose children have had serious reactions. We believe the Government introduced it far too quickly.’ Dr Jayne Donegan, a London GP who has seen an increase in reactions among children at her surgery, spoke of a campaign, encouraged by the Government, to brand people who do not have their children vaccinated as irre sponsible. ‘This is not necessarily true, especially with something as untried as the meningitis C vaccine.’

Adam Finn, a paediatric expert at Sheffield Children’s Hospital who is carrying out trials of the vaccine, said he believed the drug was safe, although it had induced extreme reactions in some children. ‘We don’t want children having fits as a result of a drug that hasn’t been properly tested, but equally we wouldn’t want a perfectly good drug maligned on the basis of hearsay.’ He said the normal trials on a new vaccine were not possible in Britain because of the relatively small numbers of people who contracted the disease. Instead scientists had tested whether the vaccine produced sufficient antibodies.

He said the Government had a duty to give the public all relevant information about the drug: ‘The public has sufficient intelligence to make the decision for themselves. The way to get them to accept it is to tell the whole story.’ Liberal Democrat health spokesman Euan Harris said he had already raised questions in Parliament about the vaccine. ‘I am very pro-vaccinations,’ he said, ‘but I have been concerned about this.’

I doubt it .
the only thing she can get out of is that every Dr. can do it so it will give her less chance to make new discovering about Ibogaine , which can finally help her to patent something more then noribogaine . The Americans are patent freaks , they sue and kill for a patent , even when the healing plants are given to use by higher powers ,they will take one working substance out of the India’s Neem tree and make a patent while in India it has been used for centuries ,same with many other plants ,why to make it easy when you can make it difficult ? because fame and money count the most?  and this is why I rather work with Iboga and not Ibogaine ,
the Dutch government will not make it illegal because no one died directly because of it and because they don’t know much about it ,
this just an idea maybe I’m wrong I don’t know everything .

me it’s pretty close to being directly affected by the outcome. So, given
this agreement, which apparently I missed, is it off-topic to mention if a
country makes ibogaine illegal? Do we just hope that people interested in
ibogaine hear about its legal status elsewhere?

Mindvox moves through all times except for this one it always seems. It made a pitstop in the 60’s and a lot of people on drugs got onboard.

Are you a new freak, a miserable still using junkie, or somebody who hit the wrong button somewhere and ended up here? This is a survey, there is no right answer.

Technology

MindVox is powered by an 8.0-liter V-13 engine. It features dual orgone injectors and a Vril supercharger; generating nearly 1.5 times infinite Horsepower (@ 9000rpm). It is housed in a floating sphere which makes use of the latest anti-gravity technology recovered from crashed UFOs. The VoxSphere is composed of ultra-lightweight composite materials designed to absorb radio energy, subpoenas, arrest warrants, and negatively-charged vibrational fields.

MindVox is fueled by a precise combination of Phenethylamines, Tryptamines, and Beta-Carbolines. On a good day it can achieve superluminal velocity using quantum electronics, wishful thinking, and the souls of its enemies. Conversely, on a bad day it may just sit in a dark room bangin’ up narcotic analgesics and burning holes in the furniture as it drops lit cigarettes all over everything while nodding out.

MindVox resonates with the harmonics of all thoughtscapes, headspaces, and dimensions. It has been online since the Dawn of Time and will spin through the tapestry of shared consensual hallucinations for All Eternity. In certain locations MindVox may appear to experience cosmic turbulence and flicker out of existence, fading like a mirage. Since time is nonlinear — time, in fact, looks like an endlessly interlocking series of spirals fragmenting inwards and outward simultaneously — this phenomenon is illusory and transient; merely indicating MindVox is Temporarily Unavailable for a few minutes, decades, or lifetimes.

MindVox runs an operating system so advanced it is incompatible with itself, but fully error-correcting. It utilizes spectrophotometric determination to weed out irregular cell morphology and is capable of compiling against the functions of an angle of incidence using a sub-femtosecond measurement of transmission delay times, in order to obtain a photonic bandgap. This will cause MindVox to drop to monitor — with or without an NMI switch — allowing you to insert a disk containing DOS 3.3, and use any hex editor to alter the DNA.

All is well. Try not to panic. Things will be EVEN BETTER than fine; the angels WANT you to be Baker-acted — no wait, wrong conversation.

MindVox is the Greatest Thing that has Ever Existed

Please take the time to read this. It took me some hours of thought to write
and I’m not being sarcastic anywhere.

I started reading this with the last installment of Patrick Kroupa’s
addiction
series in Heroin Times. I read them all and they’re different and very good.
This is the series I’m talking about.

http://herointimes.com/apr02/intervent.html
http://herointimes.com/may02/intervent.html
http://herointimes.com/jun02/intervent.html
http://herointimes.com/aug02/intervent.html

Then I signed up to this list a couple of weeks ago and started reading
about
ibogaine online.

I nearly had a very long message to write before signing off but then I
thought why waste my time and yours by saying the obvious.

And maybe I’m missing something because I really related to the addiction
articles and I’m more then interested in ibogaine now.

My problems start with Mindvox. I don’t know what I was expecting but not
this. These are the exact rotating lines that I got when I first tried the
site. I know what they are because I saved the pages. After reading a
addiction series by someone who I thought is very smart and understands what
I’m going through. I sign into some kind of psychedelic temple that says
this

Warning, Site Contains: Undead, Starving, Rabid, Electrified Attack Dogs on
Speed wid Gatz

.By Divine Right, Motherfucker.

Now Includes: Fully Integrated Messiah Complex

I have now understood that Mindvox isn’t a recovery site. I still don’t know
what it is except it’s been here since the internet began I guess, closed
for
a while and is now opening again. The ibogaine list has people on it from
what
looks like every crazy subculture from the late 60’s to right now. I look
some
of the speakers up and I have the yippies, the hippies, Timothy Leary at
Millbrook, the hacking underground and for some reason every one of you is
on
a ibogaine list on Mindvox.

I’m still reading because I still think that somewhere there must be some
reason for all this because every one of you act like it’s completely normal
to have these conversations about space time theory, quantum physics, spirit
entities, African cults, the war on drugs and whatever you all talk about on
a
list which has exactly nothing in common with any kind of drug rehab or
detox
list I have ever been on.

At that time my theory was that all of you have made progress. The progress
you’ve made is escaping from the detox ward and being ready for a long stay
in
the psychiatric wing which is usually located on the same floor.

I kept reading. I have read nearly the entire archives of this list and
that’s
some 3,000 messages and understood that had I ever said anything it would
have
had no effect exactly as I thought, since at least 70 or 80 people have
passed
through here and already said exactly what I would have said and after some
messages all of it always ends at, then why are you signed up to this list
and
reading all this, none of us came to you and told you that this was what you
had to do. Go away if you don’t like it.

Fair enough. I can’t fault that. In fact I give up. I want a new life. How
do
I get from here

http://www.mindvox.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MindVoxUI.woa/wa/staticpage%3fpagename=Evolution

To here. Here is where I want to go. I’m ready to make the change. No this
is
not a joke. This is exactly where I’d like to be, the universe filled with
entities and lights, eyes, colors. Instead of crack, heroin, psychiatrists,
court dates, lines in the methadone clinic, running out of meds, the
treatment
pimps as you call them on this list, the rip offs, the list is endless. You
know the list, you write about the degredation and hopelessness of drug
addiction very well. You know drug addiction. You know treatment for drug
addiction, it’s not any better. You also know this other place.

How do I get here. I have money, I will pay. I’ve already spent it on
everything else and it hasn’t helped. And I’m dead serious. Get me out of
where I am over to this other place. What did you do? H O W ????? Don’t tell
me LSD or ALD because I know 100s who have done psychedelics and none who
have
anything remotely close to what you’ve got. Don’t tell me ibogaine because
as
you yourself said it detoxes you and maybe more, but I’m not seeing anything
like what you’ve got. It detoxes me and then what? What do I do? Roadmap
please.

This isnt to patrick alone although I would love to hear from him since he
never answers email. There are at least 5 of you on this list who fit very
close to this. Starting with Dave Hunter. Listed as “at the heart of it all”
in the Mindvox sacred texts with a painting of purple something I don’t know
what.

This is brilliant or psychotic or both, I don’t even care. How do I get from
120mg methadone to here. This is what I want.

Nothing, anything, everything.  It’s as simple or complex as you wanna
make it; change paradigms.

Usually what I do is get horny, wander around in sex for a while, which is
okay, but, if love doesn’t get mixed into the picture I wind up with the
armies of the universe inside my head; which is kinda like, oh fuck me, I
was having a great time and now there is all this shit, it’s violence,
brutality, destruction, and every single one of the energies taking part,
is all me, so I’m killing and being killed by myself; which is sick,
painful and kinda cool, all at the same time.  Getting outta red and into
green is sorta a bitch because green keeps refusing to let go, usually I
spin around in all this for a while and eventually manage to hit gold, but
that’s rough for me — though, it’s getting easier — I kinda hafta slide
in sideways off of compassion and empathy to hit love.  The rest is easy,
blue is intellect, that’s just online, and all of this is just a journey
on the road to the Purple Shit.

Eventually it feels sorta like blowing a load up your spine, which
probably isn’t happening, I mean, intellectually I know erection, orgasm,
ejaculation, are separate systems, but mahn, it sure feels like it.  The
whirlpools spin and resolve into eyes, which blow open, hyperventilating
increases the opacity of the eyes, kinda like adjusting the alpha channel
or sumthin’, taking really slow, deep breaths, or stopping breathing for a
while, makes them expand in number and radius and blow outwards, until it
feels like you’re football stadium sized, and you’re at the Purple Shit
(TM).

The Purple Shit is everywhere, in everything, it’s energy, but alive,
sentient, and it loves you.  It feels something like everything you are,
is a receiver/transmitter for channeling the Purple Shit (which ya can
call God, cosmic consciousness, whatever makes you happy).

After a while you don’t need any substances to do this anymore.  It’s like
re-remembering something you forgot a long time ago, and just falling back
into it.  Being in touch with this on a semi-regular basis seems to fix
90% of what’s wrong, most of the time.  Though, various PieceS and tHINGs
still come raining down, because I’m not perfect.

So, mostly, on a day-to-day basis, what holds me together is blue and
green.  Intellect reinforced by will.  If I counted on love, positive
energy, and being happy, to consistently prevent me from bangin’ up dope,
I’d last half a day at most.

My main Unresolved Issue are The Colours.  The chakras get painted with
green at the heart chakra, gold as will.  I don’t see them this way,
they’re reversed.  Is my energy system color blind, is everyone else
wrong, am I just that fucked up…  dunno <shrug> one day I’ll prolly
resolve it.

Uhm, woops, wait no, that’s wrong.

What I meant to say was; my “recovery” hinges upon an excellent
relationship with my psychiatrist, strict adherence to a regimen of
medication, and a solid foundation built on the 12-steps.  Yeah baby!

– – – – – – – – –

People who have said stuff which has a lotta resonance for me are
Muktananda and lately — thanks to Nick — Rajneesh/Osho.

A lot of books contain pieces of truth, the single greatest collection of
truth I have ever found in one place is in two books:

The Solaris System Admin Guide, by Sun Microsystems, and Machiavelli’s
cool little epic, The Prince.  Though, to be honest, the religion of BSD
calls strongly to me, and I really like Mach running the BSD 4.4 kernel.

No, wait, that’s wrong too, I meant:

One’s by Alex Grey, which doesn’t have a lot of words, it’s called Sacred
Mirrors.  And this was like pivotal in my life.  When a lotta this first
happened, I wasn’t in an environment where it was… okay or accepted, and
as cool as it was, I thought I was losing my mind until I saw this
magazine — which was a druggie mag, not High Times, maybe Magical Blend
or sumthin’ — which had Grey’s painting called “Dying.”  At the time I
didn’t know that, I thought it was Awakening, and it wuz like, holy shit,
this guy I know nothing about is painting exactly what I’m looking at.  He
sees it too, I’m not crazy.

The other book is called Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, and it’s
utterly beautiful and links together such a disparate and wide-ranging
series of topics and phenomena that it’s amazing.  Read this if ya read
nothing else, even maybe a few paragraphs at a time.

– – – – – – – – –

Just believe.  If you believe with enough focus, a Rift in Time and Space
may open right in the middle of the Mars bar, and green ibogaine sludge
mixed with DMSO might Hurtle Downwards upon the Patrons — kinda like
Cthulhu meets the Iceman Cometh, with strands of Philip K. Dick woven in
— and a great WAVE of hEALINg will SWEEP the land, “oh my fucking god…
I’ve been drunk and strung-out for 49 years, what the hell is all this
crap I’m seeing, is this reality?  Man do I need a drink.”

That concludes this evening’s sermon.  Donation box is over on the left on
your way out, thank you veddy much.

In conclusion, go to a meeting and share, you’ll feel better about things.
You’re right where you need to be, it’s all part of God’s .plan for you.
Just take things one day at a time, you have a horrible disease.

And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when all
are one and one is all.

Patrick

are not coming from yahoo or hotmail accounts they are all coming from
different internet accounts. I don’t know why anyone is sending these
questions to me because I don’t know.

I’m not posting their names because I don’t want everyone to be all
paranoid of them but it’s a little strange that these people are
filling up my email asking this when there is a guy who just posted
photos of his ibogaine plants and runs a cool entheogen shop in canada.
Why ask me?

Try to get Jerry Rubin’s book DO IT! and you’ll know all you want to

think) which tells about birth of YIPpies, and it starts like this:
“We got stoned so we could think logically.”
And then they made Youth International Party (YIP).
(This is according to my memory; It’s been a loong time since I read DO
IT!)

Hippies are something similar, but mainly without political aspect ;-))

Mahn do you people all have a lot to say the last couple of daze… Will
scan through all this and reply here, to my mail, to my phone messages,
everything, any minute now. I promise. It’s not my fault I’m
dysfunctional, plus, also, have a real job, which isn’t this.

Do0d… Who the hell knows. Forget 6 degrees of seperation, try for
maybe 3 — as per a conversation I had with Howard, which is to true
that it’s funny, or not… Synchronicity, God works in strange ways.

TAP is where it all begins… TAP was the birthplace of ThA undergrOund.
Abbie Hoffman started this thing called YIPL (Youth International Party
Lines) which turned into TAP (Technological Assistance Program). We found
TAP when we were like 12, 13 years old, because we were online by then,
and meeting other phone phreaks. The internet wasn’t quite there, it was
more blue boxing and jamming up Step by Steps and Crossbars — which NYC
had a lot of, being a very old city. DMS and ESS, and CCIS (Closed
Circuit/Channel Interoffice Signaling) didn’t exist at most CO’s (Central
Offices, not Corrections Officers) yet.

TAP was this series of meetings on the lower east side in NYC, where there
were all these crazy old people who were very excited about technology and
shit. And we were a bunch of kids who were very smart and easy to
exploit, all they had to do was give us drugs and maybe buy us some food,
and we’d FIGURE THINGS OUT and SOLVE PROBLEMS. Whoops, no, I meant to
say, they saw the beautiful light, which is truth, which is knowledge,
shining within us and wanted to nurture it. Or infect us with whatever
they had, or sumthin…

But anyway, if my parents broke my mind, society stepped on the pieces,
then THOSE PEOPLE at TAP fine-tuned the wreckage and helped articulate the
ISSUES inside.

So, that was a huge part of our wasted youth. Pieman running around;
Agent 6 — who was very MySteRioUs, until we backed him out, pulled all
his shit, and found his Secret Identity! — all these 60’s do0dz, who did
stuff long before I was alive either. I missed the whole entire 60’s, I
was still on my last life back then.

Basically, THEY were our introduction to organized madness.

I had no idea what the fuck a Yippie is either. They were just all these
crazy old people who had good drugs =)

Well, I ran the Yippies and published the Yippie paper in the
’70’s–until Abbie came back in 1980 and asked me to cut it out.
Before that I was the chief theoretician of YIP…kind of the Michael
Suslov of the counter-culture.

Ibogaine is the fulfillment of Yippie…or at least one of the points
of the original platform, which was to fulfill the mission of
Burroughs and Ginsberg, and find an actual medical cure for heroin
addiction. (look at the intro to my book at
http://www.cures-not-wars.org/ibogaine/iboga.html ). And they got so
close, doing ayahuasca in the Amazon (see the Yage papers)–only they
never recognized Lotsof, due to the Yippie/Zippie split I think. That
split was brought about by a conflict between Abbie and Tom Forcade,
the founder of High Times, over credit and payment for STEAL THIS
BOOK.

Here’s an extremely interesting view of intelligence given to me by sort
of
a modern day philosopher. The genius is someone who is in touch with
something called ‘the daimos.’ This is the part of him/herself that is
able to relate to and sync with God/theGoddess/The force. When you have
found you’re own daimos, it opens up somekind of doorway through which all
the universe’s energies, or whatever you’d like to call it, comes rushing
through your mind. Anyone who has been reborn can testify to this; it’s an
energy rush that suddenly gives you new sites, new views, scores of new
thought dimensions. His theory is that anyone who finds this daimos,
through ibogaine, drugs, their own soul-searching, whatever, also finds
greater intelligence. I always think of those singers who people say have
a
lot of soul, when I think of this definition. You don’t see great singers
of soul sitting around writing books on fuzzy logic. But you listen to
them, and hear that daimos coming out of them, and their way of singing
reaches parts of your mind that have been touched and that you never even
knew were there.

Dana what’s the difference between the yippies and hippies?

I wanted to post that also since a little while ago I am starting to
get emails from people asking me where to buy ibogaine. These emails
are not coming from yahoo or hotmail accounts they are all coming from
different internet accounts. I don’t know why anyone is sending these
questions to me because I don’t know.

I’m not posting their names because I don’t want everyone to be all
paranoid of them but it’s a little strange that these people are
filling up my email asking this when there is a guy who just posted
photos of his ibogaine plants and runs a cool entheogen shop in canada.
Why ask me?

Go look it up.

I don’t have any ibogaine and don’t know where to get it in the united

Try to get Jerry Rubin’s book DO IT! and you’ll know all you want to

think) which tells about birth of YIPpies, and it starts like this:
“We got stoned so we could think logically.”
And then they made Youth International Party (YIP).
(This is according to my memory; It’s been a loong time since I read DO IT!)

Hippies are something similar, but mainly without political aspect ;-))

Mahn do you people all have a lot to say the last couple of daze… Will
scan through all this and reply here, to my mail, to my phone messages,
everything, any minute now. I promise. It’s not my fault I’m
dysfunctional, plus, also, have a real job, which isn’t this.

Do0d… Who the hell knows. Forget 6 degrees of seperation, try for
maybe 3 — as per a conversation I had with Howard, which is to true
that it’s funny, or not… Synchronicity, God works in strange ways.

TAP is where it all begins… TAP was the birthplace of ThA undergrOund.
Abbie Hoffman started this thing called YIPL (Youth International Party
Lines) which turned into TAP (Technological Assistance Program). We found
TAP when we were like 12, 13 years old, because we were online by then,
and meeting other phone phreaks. The internet wasn’t quite there, it was
more blue boxing and jamming up Step by Steps and Crossbars — which NYC
had a lot of, being a very old city. DMS and ESS, and CCIS (Closed
Circuit/Channel Interoffice Signaling) didn’t exist at most CO’s (Central
Offices, not Corrections Officers) yet.

TAP was this series of meetings on the lower east side in NYC, where there
were all these crazy old people who were very excited about technology and
shit. And we were a bunch of kids who were very smart and easy to
exploit, all they had to do was give us drugs and maybe buy us some food,
and we’d FIGURE THINGS OUT and SOLVE PROBLEMS. Whoops, no, I meant to
say, they saw the beautiful light, which is truth, which is knowledge,
shining within us and wanted to nurture it. Or infect us with whatever
they had, or sumthin…

But anyway, if my parents broke my mind, society stepped on the pieces,
then THOSE PEOPLE at TAP fine-tuned the wreckage and helped articulate the
ISSUES inside.

So, that was a huge part of our wasted youth. Pieman running around;
Agent 6 — who was very MySteRioUs, until we backed him out, pulled all
his shit, and found his Secret Identity! — all these 60’s do0dz, who did
stuff long before I was alive either. I missed the whole entire 60’s, I
was still on my last life back then.

Basically, THEY were our introduction to organized madness.

I had no idea what the fuck a Yippie is either. They were just all these
crazy old people who had good drugs =)

Well, I ran the Yippies and published the Yippie paper in the
’70’s–until Abbie came back in 1980 and asked me to cut it out.
Before that I was the chief theoretician of YIP…kind of the Michael
Suslov of the counter-culture.

Ibogaine is the fulfillment of Yippie…or at least one of the points
of the original platform, which was to fulfill the mission of
Burroughs and Ginsberg, and find an actual medical cure for heroin
addiction. (look at the intro to my book at
http://www.cures-not-wars.org/ibogaine/iboga.html ). And they got so
close, doing ayahuasca in the Amazon (see the Yage papers)–only they
never recognized Lotsof, due to the Yippie/Zippie split I think. That
split was brought about by a conflict between Abbie and Tom Forcade,
the founder of High Times, over credit and payment for STEAL THIS
BOOK.

Dear Steve, all

I thought we’d agreed that political stuff was only to go to the drugwar.com site that Preston and I moderate?

Hey all, the teenager in question here made a very mature apology
that if he had by careless use of language offended anyone he was
sorry; what’s the beef now?  Everyone has a right to be treated
respectfully, “even” women, “even” teenagers.  Those who don’t
respect others may be expressing a reaction formation, or deep
weltschmertz, or disturbing Mars transit, or bad drunk or whatever
your point of reference, but asking them to take responsibility for
their statements is not an act of dominance (or “pussywhipping, or
ballbreaking” or whatever you want to say;) rather it is a request
for clarification and respect, so that people can work together
without all this labelling crap.   Jane

I agree that it definitely would, but there’s still precious little evidence
to really say this is so, as far as I know. Personally, I still rate the
version given by an interesting Finn called Ior Bock [I am The Book], final

think of the notion that the first humans originated at the exact North

So, why couldn’t a gay guy be under the control of a
woman or dominated by a woman, even if he’s not
interested in her anatomy in a sexual manner?

They can be and often are but being “pussy whipped” by
your controlling/dominating mommy don’t work. Gay guys
often have dominating mothers and sometimes weak
(pussy?) fathers or emasculated ones. “Pussy whipped”
has to do with a woman they are romantically
interested in (the wife, the GF…). They are mutually
exclusive terms (homosexual and pussy whipped), it is
not just a woman who dominates them (eg, the boss, not
usually), at least not how the term has been used
where I come from.  Of course I don’t personally use
such terms,  maybe someone else has a better
understanding of its use in different situations.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with ibogaine UNLESS it
is an issue that comes out (and likely would be!)
during an ibogaine session. Hummm…..

Brett
Peace,
Preston

Alison,

“pussywhipped homosexual”, now there is a new one.
It
sounds good but is an oxymoron, you can’t be pussy
whipped if you are gay. It requires interest in
the
“pussy” as the term “pussy” is used to refer to
women
and not another definition such as “that guy is
such a
pussy”, or “here pussy, good kitty” and does not
mean
the genitalia of a woman either or that women are
their pussys.

From an on-line slang dictionary

pussy whipped   adj   1. obedient to one’s female
partner. (“His girlfriend had him pussy whipped.”)

http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wrader/slang/p.html

OR

http://ikenam.netian.com/Homepage/slang/peak-english/P.htm

Definition: Obedient to one’s female partner;
subservient or under the control of a woman;
dominated
by a woman.
Example: 1) Doug is pussy whipped by his
girlfriend–he does everything she tells him to.

Note, the use of the term “pussy” is only a used
in
the context of a question of terminology and not
intended to offend anyone.

Gee, that was fun…

The only thing that’s going to change between mv04 and mv024 is insane details that nobody sees except for you people. Have you looked at slashdot, fucked co, craig’s list? They all suck and they’re all open. The hit rate for this thing when it is closed is crazy. You’ve hit 10,000 twice. People want it open. Most important I want it open, in 3 more months the phc will ddos the root servers again anyway and this time 9 will blow instead of 8 and the entire internet will go down.

The input for the beta is you have every feature ever invented, sort subject by topics using reverse leap years ending in the number 9. Your problem is that you people can do neuroscience, security, hacking, writing, art, probably sing and play guitar, but you can’t ever set down the crackpipe and just stop. Curtis is exactly right. The thing you should do now is open the goddamn site and bring 10 years that are lost in time back up. MindVox said it was going to beat guns n roses ever going on tour again. They’re about as on schedule as you, but after 9 years the dates are finally booked, you have about a month to keep your word. And you’re nearly as late.

Rise from the ashes already, I’m bored. You were the 3rd internet site that ever existed, you existed before WWW was here, when you finally open again the world is really going to end and I’m waiting.

no longer apply to what you’ve got. You’d be somewhere between
indra and HCL.

I don’t know much about this new extract, but I would guess that it
contains other chemicals in addition to ibogaine. The iboga plant has 12
known active alkaloids, of which ibogaine is one. Ibogaine HCL is a
pure, stable compound, which can be extracted from iboga, or synthesised.

Curtis, a few comments. I have been in contact with
Ethnogarden and am getting a grasp on what they have,
best I can from a distance anyway.

What exactly is the difference between HCL and the
new extract.

Well, one is HCL, likely somewhat synthetic and the
other is a plant extract with all the other iboga
alkaloids, it is also in freebase form so it wouldn’t
absorb quite as quickly as HCL.

From what’s been written here the old indra
material was made 20
years or more ago and it is all from the same batch.
What you’re
doing is making new extract right?

That is what they are doing.

But if it’s
560-660mg Ibogaine
per g of extract then the dosing levels that apply
to indra would
no longer apply to what you’ve got.

Correct. Being a new product and ibogaine by its very
nature unpredictable they initially believed it would
be gram for gram replacement for HCL – being that
there would be some synergy of the other alkaloids
along with the ibogaine in the extract, it turns out
not to be. It appears to be about 3/5ths as strong as
HCL by my very dirty/quick/ballpark guestimation. They
are having a full analysis done.

You’d be
somewhere between
indra and HCL.

This is my impression from reading the messages so
far and reading
Marc Emery’s posts. Which indicate a total of 700mg,
750mg, 700mg
then 400mg. For 2550mg total right?

Not quite, the last 700 dose was barfed up, not all of
it likely, I believe it was about 1/2 hour later. The
400mg was a replacement of what was not absorbed.
There was also an initial tester dose of 150mg given –
so about 2.3gm total absorbed if you figure as Marc
did that the patient lost 300mg (or so) of the 700mg –
seems ballpark right to me. Ethnogarden recommended
giving the dose spread out, maybe if given all at once
(not including the tester) the dosing would be a
little closer to HCL given all at once. So it is a
little off/different as the body will metabolize
ibogaine very rapidly. Just a thought/consideration.

Anyway, that is basically what I got from it.

For one thing, Steve, the Dutch government allows ibo to be used, but the
Christian Democrats were the impetus behind the new prohibitionist sentiment
there. That same sentiment is what keeps so many substances illegal here,
including ibogaine. This news that the Dutch government collapsed is good
news, but nobody’s too sure aobut the future there. Although Holland is
liberal and tolerant in regards to drug laws, the EU is not so much, and
things are getting tricky in this regard. If it all goes south, then there’s
yet less places where people can go to take ibogaine legally.

Subject: [ibogaine] The Dutch government collapsed
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 16:58:34 EDT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (Oct. 16) –  The Dutch government collapsed on
Wednesday over a ministerial feud between followers of murdered populist
Pim
Fortuyn, paving the way for elections that could relegate his chaotic party
to obscurity.

The coalition of Christian Democrats (CDA), VVD Liberals and the Pim
Fortuyn
List (LPF) crumbled after less than 100 days in office, the shortest-lived
Dutch government since World War Two.

The collapse sparked fears a lame-duck caretaker cabinet would be forced to
delay backing for the European Union’s eastward enlargement at a key
Brussels
summit next week until a new government is installed in The Hague after
fresh
elections.

But a Dutch government spokesman indicated the road to EU expansion would
be
unaffected once a caretaker government had secured parliamentary backing
for
the cabinet position.

A minority government could also be formed to stave off further
instability.

The government’s demise was precipitated by the resignation earlier on
Wednesday of LPF Deputy Prime Minister Eduard Bomhoff and Economics
Minister
Herman Heinsbroek, whose bitter differences have characterized their
divided
party.

”There is no basis for further fruitful and sustainable cooperation within
the coalition,” CDA Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende told parliament
before tendering the cabinet’s resignation to Queen Beatrix.

The LPF and VVD each had four ministers in the 14-seat cabinet formed in
July.

Polls show the party of shaven-headed gay maverick Fortuyn — who was
gunned
down only days before May elections — has hemorrhaged support since it
swept
into parliament and could face a drubbing in early elections expected
within
three months.

A new opinion poll on Wednesday showed the LPF could slump from 26 seats to
four in a new election, with the VVD the biggest beneficiary as it climbed
to
31 seats from its current 24. The CDA was seen adding six seats to its
current 43.

That would give the CDA and VVD a comfortable parliamentary majority
between
them, with 80 of the lower house’s 150 seats.

”I think voters have begun to regret the votes they cast (for the LPF),”
said VVD leader Gerrit Zalm. ”This shows how hard it is to work with a
party
that is constantly quarreling.”

FUNERAL PYRE

Political experts said the coalition — which pledged to crack down on
crime
and immigration and improve public services when it took office in July —
failed to overcome its internal difficulties to fulfill its ambitious
promises.

”Nothing got off the ground. I have the feeling I don’t know my own
country
any more,” said Henk Kummeling, a law professor at Utrecht University.

The LPF has struggled to fill the vacuum left after Fortuyn was shot dead
outside a radio station near Amsterdam. His death prompted a string of
power
struggles and confusion over party leadership.

”The LPF is brilliant at carrying wood to its own funeral pyre and
sometimes
even provides the matches,” LPF leader Mat Herben told parliament in The
Hague after a dramatic day in the Dutch political capital.

A bitter personal feud between LPF ministers Bomhoff and Heinsbroek had
been
simmering for weeks.

Heinsbroek, a swashbuckling entrepreneur with designer stubble, had been at
loggerheads with the more conservative Bomhoff over the direction and
leadership of the LPF since the two joined Balkenende’s cabinet in July.

”There was an incompatibility of personalities between me and Bomhoff,”
Heinsbroek told a news conference, saying he had resigned ”with pain in my
heart.”

”To my great regret, the developments of the last few days have
increasingly
created a situation in which it is impossible to work,” Bomhoff for his
part
told reporters in The Hague.

The conflict-riven party returned Mat Herben as its leader on Wednesday —
just before the cabinet decisively fell — only months after he was forced
to
step aside to make way for a former motoring magazine editor, Harry
Wijnschenk.

Herben had taken over the reins of the LPF after Fortuyn’s death and had
guided the party into coalition.

EU ENLARGEMENT

These are turbulent times for traditionally tranquil Dutch politics. The
last
government resigned en masse in April in delayed atonement for the
Netherlands’ role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia.

The coalition had also struggled to overcome a deep rift over whether to
support proposals for 10 countries to join the European Union in 2004.

The EU executive said last week that former communist east European states
such as Poland and Hungary were ready to wrap up accession talks in
December
and join in 2004.

The foreign ministry spokesman said the Netherlands would make its position
clear at next week’s Brussels summit after the current government — or a
caretaker administration — had secured majority approval in parliament on
its position.

Publicly, EU leaders voiced confidence that the Netherlands would not block
enlargement.

I’ll admit I am confused.  The supplier should indicate the amount of total
alkaloids in mgs that 1 gram of their product contains.  No one should

without extensive ethnobotanical experience of T. iboga.  And certainly not

Patrick you wrote a reply to Occams message and it was a great reply, people have reprinted and reposted it on the net and it was very thoughtful, reasonable, articulate. But I’m trying to understand a little more.

I don’t understand what Mindvox is exactly or what you’re all doing or even anything. You have symbols of chaos all over the place, chaos from what I’ve looked up is using black magic and light and accepting both. What does this mean for you? I’ve read your writing and you go from extremely intelligent and articualte to sensitive to writing a acid trip.

Reading your history and the history of here, you’re someone (Patrick) who hates the 12 steps and feel they kill people and miss no chance to give them the finger, you represent the libertarian party. Your partner’s dad started the village voice a ultra liberal democratic newspaper, he is someone who cleaned up using the 12 steps and represents them in world service, he votes republican and still supports george bush and john ashcroft. This was written to here in the near past, nobody contradicted it but nobody answered it.

The rest of your histories are nothing but this series of big disasters that never end. You have dead bodies, dead friends, lifelong drug addiction, lifelong legal problems. I’ve lost only one friend to drugs and it took me nearly 2 years of therapy to work through that. Does it just not effect you anymore after a certain level and you don’t feel it? But you must, because reading what you write you are very gifted at describing it, you do feel it.

This isn’t a letter to tell you you’re talented or kiss your ass, you look like you have more then enough people who already do that. But you don’t answer mail. What I need to know for myself and understand is how do you survive a life that is complete madness, stay off heroin and still find a way to connect to something positive like you write about in places. How do you do that? I understand the gallows humor and the funny jokes that are anything but funny, but that is only cynicism, that isn’t the purple you write about, that isn’t hope, that isn’t the connection you have.

My life is depressing for mundane simple reasons and I can’t pull out of it. How do you find that connection in a life that looks like nothing but pain, destruction, chaos? Or do you somehow connect there through what you’re doing? Is that part of what Mindvox is? Because otherwise I don’t understand. You have a site that right now on the graph is hitting 10,000. You have more people then I can imagine ever reading anything I have to say, pounding down your doors and wanting in and none of you look like you’re motivated by that at all or you would have opened it and starting selling something months ago as I think people here have mentioned so many times.

That line ‘these words I write keep me from total madness’ is that true? Is that what it’s about? Does doing that somehow let you release all of it? Because the words are pain, madness, destruction and then you transform it to something else which is beautiful. But that’s art, is that what holds it together somehow?

Thank you for your time.

Dave

I have got to go with this one too. Peeps you’re done now. Play with the art forever for all I care, but this is beautiful, open the fucking site bro. The beta is holding.

You are done. If any of you were within reach of me I would pull you away from the computer, crackpipe, airbrush, same thing. It is time to just say no. You’re done. O p e n it 🙂

Dear Marc ,

after a treatment with me people start eating little by little after the
iboga trip ,

you must look to it that your friend has a good diet  and not eating like a
horse ,
fruit wouldn’t be too bad ,
It isn’t very good to be fasting and then eat a lot at once ,
this is wat I would like you to think about ,
also when he will go down from the iboga -hash high
he could get really down few weeks later , he should have still some support
as aftercare ,

take care,

Sara

As I understand the iboga product I have, from enthnogarden, is, in its
constituents, of one gram, 550 mg – 650 mg. are of ibogaine, the other 350 –
450 mg. are of the other eleven alkaloids of the iboga. If I understand
correctly.

As of 1.20 p.m. Wednesday, 20 hours since first ingestion of first dose,
46.5 hours since patient had a narcotic, the patient is resting briefly now,
after being up and active for 5 hours. Is increasingly happier at
realization that there are no withdrawl symptoms. Wants to work with us on
this ibogaine. Can’t understand why neither he nor anyone he knows had ever
heard of ibogaine. Is getting a bit excited at his prospects. I asked him if
he wanted to go for a walk outside, its a remarkable day here, and he said
he was little weak for that, but he has been eating well, reading, thinking
about his prospects. He looks like he is on the verge of having  great fun,
if I can say that.

He is going to film school in January, has a non-addicted girlfriend, two
supportive foster parents (martin is 25, so thats great for them to help).

Have not recognized any withdrawl symptoms. One of our helpers is a former
heroin addict and says its quite something to see a narcotic addict 46 hours
after using go through no apparent discomfort or withdrawl. All five of us
in the crew are submilely amazed, meaning we saw it all, but its hard to
realize that this very addicted fellow seems now normal.

We will be with him for another 48 hours, to Friday morning, then we will
return him to his home.

Then we begin soliciting other candidates. We also have a seminar on
November 2 for any interested person, on iboga therapy.

Dr. Howard Lotsuf commented that he had never heard of anyone sleeping
through the iboga experience, but possibly the extract, which is new,
contributed
to this result. He also commented that each individual responds differently.

Marc,  just for clarity, I am not a doctor and the spelling is “Lotsof”.
Thanks on that.  Would be very interested to have your report on what the
subject thinks of his experience.  Or better yet, let him provide his own
report to the mindvox ibogaine list.

Michele,

here is what happened yesterday:

At 3.00 p.m. Pacific time, a 150 mg test dose of extract given (this extract
is whole plant alkaloid, of 1 mg. there is 550 – 650 mg of ibogaine, the
remaining volume (350-450mg per gram,  are 11 other iboga bark alkaloids) .

at 5.00 p.m., 700 mg enthogarden iboga TPA extract given
at 6.15 p.m. , second dose of 700 mg. iboga TPA extract given
at 7.15 p.m. , third dose of 750 mg. iboga TPA extract given,

7.45  p.m. subject vomits, contains part or all of third dose of iboga
extract.
Subject feels fine after vomit, readminister 400 mg of iboga extract
at 8.25 p.m. (now), subject is tired, resting, not seeing any visualization
at any time thus far.

From 5.15 onward, has been resting with eyes closed, little movement, pulse,
heartrate, all other signs normal. Subject has felt fine except for period
(2 minutes) of vomitting after 3 dose.

Now it is 11.30 p.m. It is 33 hours after the patient had heroin dose, three
and half hours after the final iboga extract dose. Patient has been sleeping
for last two hours, but has been relaxed for 6.5 hours, excepting a 2 minute
vomit episode earlier. We noticed he is dreaming now, as murmuring type
sounds are coming from him, and brain activity has been noticeable for the
first time during the procedure. No signs of discomfort or withdrawl. He has
consistently said he feels fine up to about 2 hours ago, when he went into
calm sleep, and appears quite…content. He slept very well last night (12
hours), so he is certainly getting alot of rest in my place while he’s here.

So far, so good.

Martin slept from 10.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m., in normal relaxed sleep. Woke up hungry, feeling good, no signs of withdrawl, and at 10.00 a.m. is pleasantly watching a movie. It is 43 hours since last heroin use. No apparent withdrawl symptoms.

Dr. Howard Lotsuf commented that he had never heard of anyone sleeping through the iboga experience, but possibly the extract, which is new, contributed to this result. He also commented that each individual responds differently.

Its a beautiful day, so the patient and my crew of helpers will go out for a walk around the oceanside seawall later today.

Not to post silliness or empty platitudes Marc,
But best of luck with this endeavor. As someone, (like many here) I’ve gone through similar situations, and know how difficult it can be trying to get off the dope. So while I cannot exactly empathize with the ibogaine route, I can extend my best wishes in your and your son’s direction, and I do.

Peace,

The first testing we had done was to isolate the total Ibogaine content

We are currently awaiting the results of the total analysis which will

I’ll admit I am confused.  The supplier should indicate the amount of

I have spent a couple days in a 2 day, 12 hour a day class here http://www.beyondstructure.com just in case Mindvox never finishes playing with art or objects and dot com doesn’t come back and I have to go get a job in a few years.

I was thinking about making a movie about the whole Mindvox story but it would probably be about as uplifting as say, Brazil, or perhaps Miracle Mile, with the plot continuity of 12 Monkeys and the light hearted wacky zaniness of Leaving Las Vegas thrown in.

(again, reminder, this is 550 gm – 640 gm. of ibogaine per 1 gm. TPA extract), at 5.30 p.m. a second dose of 700 milligram, at 6.30 p.m. a final dose of 700 milligram.

Total dosage in four phases = 2,200 mg of TPA extract ( = approx. 1250 mg of ibogaine plus about 900 mg. of other elleven alkaloids). Martin weighs 70 kg.

Right now it is 11.00 a.m. Pacific Time.

The first testing we had done was to isolate the total Ibogaine content of the extract which turned out results of 560-660mg Ibogaine per g of extract.

We are currently awaiting the results of the total analysis which will give the Total alkaloid content. These results should be back and confirmed within one month.

As Brett mentioned, our product is NEW.
We want everyone to be fully informed regarding our product.
We will post more results once we have them back.

I’ll admit I am confused.  The supplier should indicate the amount of total

I enjoy reading this list because it is different then any drug list I have ever been on and I like the people here. I read Occams message and it made me think about a lot of things and then I read Mindvox and it made me want to ask so many questions. But none of my email is ever answered by anyone. Patrick you wrote a reply to Occams message and it was a great reply, people have reprinted and reposted it on the net and it was very thoughtful, reasonable, articulate. But I’m trying to understand a little more.

I don’t understand what Mindvox is exactly or what you’re all doing or even anything. You have symbols of chaos all over the place, chaos from what I’ve looked up is using black magic and light and accepting both. What does this mean for you? I’ve read your writing and you go from extremely intelligent and articualte to sensitive to writing a acid trip.

Reading your history and the history of here, you’re someone (Patrick) who hates the 12 steps and feel they kill people and miss no chance to give them the finger, you represent the libertarian party. Your partner’s dad started the village voice a ultra liberal democratic newspaper, he is someone who cleaned up using the 12 steps and represents them in world service, he votes republican and still supports george bush and john ashcroft. This was written to here in the near past, nobody contradicted it but nobody answered it.

The rest of your histories are nothing but this series of big disasters that never end. You have dead bodies, dead friends, lifelong drug addiction, lifelong legal problems. I’ve lost only one friend to drugs and it took me nearly 2 years of therapy to work through that. Does it just not effect you anymore after a certain level and you don’t feel it? But you must, because reading what you write you are very gifted at describing it, you do feel it.

This isn’t a letter to tell you you’re talented or kiss your ass, you look like you have more then enough people who already do that. But you don’t answer mail. What I need to know for myself and understand is how do you survive a life that is complete madness, stay off heroin and still find a way to connect to something positive like you write about in places. How do you do that? I understand the gallows humor and the funny jokes that are anything but funny, but that is only cynicism, that isn’t the purple you write about, that isn’t hope, that isn’t the connection you have.

My life is depressing for mundane simple reasons and I can’t pull out of it. How do you find that connection in a life that looks like nothing but pain, destruction, chaos? Or do you somehow connect there through what you’re doing? Is that part of what Mindvox is? Because otherwise I don’t understand. You have a site that right now on the graph is hitting 10,000. You have more people then I can imagine ever reading anything I have to say, pounding down your doors and wanting in and none of you look like you’re motivated by that at all or you would have opened it and starting selling something months ago as I think people here have mentioned so many times.

That line ‘these words I write keep me from total madness’ is that true? Is that what it’s about? Does doing that somehow let you release all of it? Because the words are pain, madness, destruction and then you transform it to something else which is beautiful. But that’s art, is that what holds it together somehow?

Thank you for your time.

Dave

I’ll admit I am confused.  The supplier should indicate the amount of total
alkaloids in mgs that 1 gram of their product contains.  No one should
administer any product they are not familiar with and certainly not a person
without extensive ethnobotanical experience of T. iboga.  And certainly not

Disable software install permissions for all users except administrator and then log in using a user account, not the admin account.

one more point, if you do feel the perverse need to run XP, make sure you
get all the available service packs. without these, running XP is

Not according to the tests done by PC Magazine.  It appears that the most
common “hacks” are with Microsoft email programs and Eudora is not
that.  It rated quite well in that dept.

But I am always open to learn something new.  If you can site a study,
article, or review that talks about Eudora being hacked, I would enjoy
reading it.

I’m just speaking from my experience working here at the UMBC Office of

Hi Dana,

have you seen Mario Van Peebles’s movie Panther? According to it, BPP was basically destroyed because of FBI infiltration, and FBI agents were responsible for bringing heroin into ghettos (with genereous help of mafia), so the movement died out.

Maybe it’s time that the same organization brings cure into ghettos? Would be great, possibly without “help” of government agents this time 😉

They’re still around. And some of them relate to Ibo. This Unitarian thing could be good for extending the Sacrament of Transition.

Come tomorrow and post yours. Initially, I will enable the automated
posting to SBC members (password protected). Others who would wish to
post will still need to send their statements to me and I will post
them manually.

Slava

First statement:

http://www.salviadivinorumcorps.org/statements/1.shtml

William Arden Ruth’s statement.

This is a public statement directed to whom it may concern, regarding the
changes the psychoactive plant Salvia divinorum has made in my life. I write
this statement at this point in time because Salvia divinorum is currently
under consideration to be made into a Schedule I ‘drug’.

At the time of this writing, October 2002, Salvia divinorum is still legal
in the United States. As the nation of Australia has banned Salvia divinorum
June 2002 there is a very real possibility that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration as well as the Drug Enforcement Administration may feel
compelled to follow Australia’s lead and ban Salvia divinorum in the United
States; in fact, two Democratic legislators from California introduced on
October 10, 2002 a bill to Congress to do just that.

Personal background: I am a 49-year-old man, married for 22 years, a
homeowner, gainfully employed and with diversified interests and skills
vocationally and avocationally, including prehospital medicine, having been
a practicing paramedic for 20 years and an Emergency Medical Technician
instructor for 15 years. I have a good reputation in my community, and my
friends include a computer systems analyst, police officers, a Presbyterian
clergyman, schoolteachers, nurses, paramedics, firefighters, a
planetarium/observatory director, and electrical engineers.

With such a respectable reputation, you may wonder why I ever decided to
experiment with Salvia divinorum, a psychoactive plant. The reason lies with
my primary interest and skill, which is contemplation of the mystery of
sentient existence. My entire life has been one characterized by
introspection, reflection, and self-awareness. Ever since childhood, I have
been asking the ‘big questions’: Who am I? How is it that we, or anything,
exists? What makes me different from ‘others’? How do ‘others’ experience
their existence? What would it feel like to be someone else? What is our
relationship to the universe?

As the innocence of my childhood was gradually degraded by the cultural
conditioning of American urban-industrial society, I became a very unhappy
adolescent and adult, coming of age in the midst of the Vietnam War and
Watergate. I came to realize that those who happened to rise to positions of
authority do not necessarily possess the wisdom or integrity to be worthy of
their power to make and enforce laws.

And so it is today. There are those who would now declare a psychoactive
mint plant used over the centuries by indigenous Mexican people for healing
and religious experiences to be off-limits to those who would want to go
beyond the limitations of conceptual thinking and cultural conditioning.

Salvia divinorum has given me unforgettable experiences of deep meaning and
healing, enabling me to understand better my relationship to the web of
life, the ground of being. To deny anyone sufficiently mature to appreciate
the special powers of this plant would be an abuse of power, a restriction
of others’ personal freedom which is incompatible with ‘life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.’ Salvia has, literally, brought me back to life,
and freedom, and has helped lead me to something even better than happiness:
clarity of mind, and inner peace. These persisting benefits are not
Salvia-dependent. I will always remember, and cherish, and be profoundly
grateful, for what Salvia has helped me be able to see. The deeper
understanding from the perspective enhancement Salvia has provided me is
indelible. I see the unity of life, the sacredness of all life, as the
blinders of cultural conditioning fall away from my eyes. Salvia tells the
truth, and goes beyond all human concepts of truth: Salvia takes us to the
living truth, which is a healing experience, and a revelation.

Individual life is short and uncertain. In our brief time as human beings we
have the opportunity to understand, to the limits of our abilities, the
mystery of being; Salvia helps extend our abilities in this regard. That
from which we all come, That to which we all return, awaits us; to want to
better understand That, to experience the nature of That eternal being, to
commune with That, to surrender to That, is everyone’s birthright. Salvia
divinorum, a living plant which somehow facilitates a better awareness of
That which lives in us as us–the eternal being, no less–is a religious
sacrament that is outlawed only by an ignorant, fearful body politic that
does not tolerate individuals penetrating the veil of its dominant cultural
conditioning.

When I first experienced Salvia divinorum in April 2000 I knew it was a
genuine entheogen, the most therapeutic of teacher-plants. I was so deeply
affected by the Salvia experience that I made a vow to stand up for this
plant if there ever came a time a heedless authoritarian force attempted to
make it illegal. That time has now come. Human ignorance and fear,
legislators in the throes of the prevailing cultural conditioning, now want
to take away one of the effective tools individuals can use to enhance
consciousness. It is sad to see how nicotine and alcohol, which are
addictive, cause disease and diminish consciousness, are legal and socially
acceptable; how prescription psychoactive drugs keep drug companies wealthy
and the populace compliant and dependent; and how a humble plant that is
nontoxic, nonaddicting and consciousness-enhancing is at risk of being
turned into a Schedule I ‘drug’, the same legal status as heroin. This is
not just. This is not necessary.

Does Salvia divinorum, used wisely, cause harm to the user or to anyone
else? NO.

Does turning Salvia divinorum into a Schedule I ‘drug’ cause harm to others?
YES. Arrest and incarceration ruins careers, destroys families, deprives
individuals of rights and liberty.

I have lived long enough to see this country turn into an
ever-more-repressive regime. The tribe, the family of man, is being
superseded by the police state. A bleak totalitarian future is taking shape,
and at hand.

My personal, therapeutic, transcendental use of a humble Mexican entheogen
is nobody’s business but my own; that it’s about to become Big Brother’s
business bodes ill for the citizens of the so-called Land of the Free.

Ingesting a particular plant that helps me want to be a better person, to
live more in accordance with the vision the plant provides, is an act of
worship, not a criminal act. If the day ever came where I was persecuted for
sharing this plant’s life with my own, I will know that I am in fact being
persecuted for religious reasons. I write this now as a free citizen. I hope
I never have to write from a jail cell. The truth that Salvia reveals is
eternal, and universal, and can never be suppressed, although many will try.
To be at risk of imprisonment for wanting to see the truth more clearly and
deeply is a sign of a fearful and ignorant time. At least I have lived long
enough to known inner peace, spiritual freedom, and relief from my own
ignorance and fear, to have had the opportunity to know Salvia divinorum, a
beneficent plant that has enriched my life and understanding in ways beyond
all words or measure.

May all people find the peace, wisdom and love of the spirit, the life of
all lives.

the
request that the great spirit doesn’t cause any of your punters to
move from
one side of the veil to the other in the coming year.

Just a thought

Eudora isn’t that bad, Pegasus mail is more secure but lacking in features, most programs are lacking in features when you compare them to Outlook.

If you look at what most hackers or former hackers are using for their email the #1 mail program is mutt. This is because it’s extremely configurable, encryption fits right in, scripting fits right in, you can fork whatever you want, you have complete control and it is still under active development if you look at Patrick’s headers everything he sends comes out of mutt. I would guess that Mindvox is hit with everything and the kitchen sink every day. None of it is ever going to do anything to mutt when run from a properly configured account under any properly secured unix. Choices 2 and 3 are pine and elm for the diehard won’t change people.

These aren’t practical options unless you want to devote a lot of your time to learning unix and pop your mail to a unix shell account somewhere. The most practical advice is to have a virus checker that auto updates itself and hope that you aren’t one of the first people hit with a new virus.

I forget the link but it’s linked from Mindvox, there are tools called fuzzers one of which is Spike, which does nothing except try to blow holes through a operating system. Every time one is patched someone finds 10 new ones. This is especially true of Microsoft where the entire OS is closed and patched together. Nearly every program on that script kiddie list that Brendan posted automatically kills virus checking out of the registry, pops up the “checking for new updates” messages so it looks like it’s still doing something and then looks for the firewall and disables it so your computer is wide open, infected and taken over. And you don’t know it until it’s very late.

Unless you are very high profile by which I mean there are people on the net who want to make a reputation for themselves by destroying your system because you’re somebody “important” then I’d use whatever you like to read email with and get virus checking. That was sound advice. Try to make sure you have the latest updates and patches, try not to run Microsoft products but if you have to then try to run at least NT2K or XP which have some kind of file permissions no matter how bad they are. Disable software install permissions for all users except administrator and then log in using a user account, not the admin account.

Windows 95 and 98 cannot be secured in any reasonable way. If you’re in front of the computer or have a program running on it then you own that entire computer and all the processes. There is no security.

This is probably a real thick question to those of u who are so clued
up on
computer talk and walk in general.  If you don’t want to use Outlook
or
Outlook Express what would be the best to use.  Would be good to
hear some

eudora is actually a euphamism for “please hack me”…

Not according to the tests done by PC Magazine.  It appears that the most common “hacks” are with Microsoft email programs and Eudora is not that.  It rated quite well in that dept.

But I am always open to learn something new.  If you can site a study, article, or review that talks about Eudora being hacked, I would enjoy reading it.

The first testing we had done was to isolate the total Ibogaine content of the extract which turned out results of 560-660mg Ibogaine per g of extract.

We are currently awaiting the results of the total analysis which will give the Total alkaloid content. These results should be back and confirmed within one month.

As Brett mentioned, our product is NEW.
We want everyone to be fully informed regarding our product.
We will post more results once we have them back.

Indra extract is a spagyric, prepared according to the method of Paracelsus. Additionally, it is zapped with red light, which rotates the molecule so that it produces less nausea, and a better high. Ibogaine alkaloids are light sensitive, like melatonin.

I’ll admit I am confused.  The supplier should indicate the amount of total
alkaloids in mgs that 1 gram of their product contains.  No one should
administer any product they are not familiar with and certainly not a person
without extensive ethnobotanical experience of T. iboga.  And certainly not
to a person being treated for chemical dependence.

They concentrated 16 grams of ibogane root bark into 1
gram of extract not 1/16th. When I stated 1:1 it was
that the resulting extract was suppose to be a mg for
mg replacement of ibogaine HCL, not 1/16th. According
to Ethnogardens site 1 gram of their extract contained
660 mg of ibogaine PLUS the rest of the total plant
alkaloid mix – TPA or was that PTA (total plant
alkaloid)? However it appears that their product is
not a mg for mg replacement for ibogaine HCI but
roughly 3/5th (my guestimate) as strong as ibogaine
HCL. With Indra it is 5 times as concentrated
(roughly) being 5:1 – 5 grams of root bark yielding 1
gram of extract so the Ethnogarden at 16:1 is a little
better than 3 times stronger than Indra, or at least
it is suppose to be (5:1 vs 16:1).

I am not familiar with the 16:1 product at all but,
let me comment on the

.0625%.  3.95 grams =
3950 mgs.  3950 mgs x .0625 = 190.62 mgs alkaloid
content.  190.62 mg divided
by 68 kg patient weight = 2.8 mg/kg.  I think the
1:1 ratio you talk of may
indicate that the alkaloid mixture is equal parts of
ibogaine and other iboga
alkaloids.  You might want to confirm this with
Ethnogarden.  I believe that
a chemical analysis of the indra product (5:1)
showed 8% ibogaine and 8%
other iboga alkaloids but, possibly Marko who I
believe had the analysis
performed can comment.

Nick Sandberg in the ibogaine manual
<www.ibogaine.org/manual.html> was
concerned that persons who confuse the strengths of
ibogaine and the crude
extracts to the detrement of their subjects.  This
certainly is a valid
concern and Ibogaine should not be administered

In the old days, you could get Eudora free with out a spell checker.  And if you look around on shareware places you might still find it.  Eudora sells it in two modes now.  One is free, but it puts small ads in it, and the other is paid where the ads disappear.  I think you can buy the add free CD in a box for about $50, or just run the free one. They no longer post the small free, one with out a spell checker on the Eudora web site (I don’t think), but you can check.

http://www.eudora.com/

Many years ago, when the web first started, your ISP would give you one 1.44 floppy and it would have a copy of Netscpae and Eudora on it.

Re: UU front
Hello everyone, my name is Marc Emery.

My adopted son, a heroin and methadone addict for 4 years, along with
his girlfriend of 4 years (also addicted), were administered iboga
(3,800 mg whole extract, for my son, 2,800 mg. for the woman) 25 days
ago. I saw them at day 21, the transformation from hollowed, gaunt,
dazed lethargy (and all those illnesses!), into healthy, robust
individuals. I was staggered.

An employee of mine, I sent to Amsterdam three years ago, to Sara
Glatt for whole iboga extract, my first person I assisted to get
treatment. (Woman, 82 kg, 5,000 mg.)

In four days, I will administer 4,000 mg. whole iboga extract to a 20
year old, poly addicted (cocaine/heroin) male. This is my first time
administering this substance, though I have procured the extract for my
son and his friend, financed and arranged Amsterdam therapy visits for
an employee. I have read about 250pages of the literature in the
Ibogaine Dossier and other web sites.

I have talked alot to Dana Beal, a little to Dr. Malemede.

So I want anyone toadd suggestions to my intended plan:

Martin fixes, Monday 2.00  p.m.

Comes to my place. Hangs out. No food or eating except a litle fruit
or small amount only. Interact with Martin, talk about the next day,
talk about music. Watch Poyaqquatsi. Go to bed at midnight.

Martin wakes at 8.00, showers, gets comfortable.

At  2.00 p.m. , 150 mg Extract in gel cap administered to see adverse
reaction.

An hour later,  administer  1,200 mg. in gel caps with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps with milk (5.00
p.m.)

Room kept fairly dark after onset. Pail for urination at the bedside,
washroom nearby.
3 attendents total ,organized in 8 hour shifts. Hydration necessary,
Over the next period of visualizations and experience, observe any
unusual reactions.

———

Any comments please?

Thanks,

Marc Emery

We haven’t opened the additional lists yet, since the beta is finally
stable and not FLYING out of anything.  Basically this means the Vox list
will be absorbed therein; and ibogaine and drugwar will continue as they
are now, and get gently blended into the mix once it is HIGHLY stable,
and
we’re sure nothing will be disrupted.

I will toss an endline onto the messages, and make it simpler for the
terminally brain dead to unsubscribe, in the near future — meaning;
coming no later than 2004.

On another topic.  The lists are closed, this means that most spam,

However, there are various script kiddies sending out crap and
cross-posting it — or attempting to anyway.

If you are using Windoze and POP to Outlook, or read shit in IE5/6, then
it’s a REALLY EXCELLENT idea to have Norton anti-virus, or sumthin’ of
that nature, or you will eventually be sorry.

Basically, to put it into laymen’s terms: Windoze is a pile of shit virus
magnet, and Outlook is swiss cheese.

Marc,

I sent you a previous email on this.  The (new)
dosages you are doing are fine as is the test dose
amount. Ethnogarden had originally reported to me a
1:1 strength of their extract (not Indra extract) and
some confusion as well as the dose you gave me (3.95gm
– which is a range for Indra extract – so it looked
like you were talking Indra to me) – so much for
“contrast” – which if there is, something is not right
and GOOD, we found out something was not right and
fixed it and good that you followed up and asked, many
people don’t… Their product is new, not just to me,
it is new. With ibogaine – even known products it is
often difficult to judge potency as each and every
time it is somewhat different – even less can feel
like more, more can seem like less. Maybe it is the
phases of the moon or something… It is good to check
and double check which you are doing –  good not to
have given that 58mg/kg, we want to cure him, not cook
him… If the test dose hits him very hard (you will
know) I would suggest cutting the full dose back, if
it were HCL I would drop it to 10-12mg, so figure
about double that. If on the other hand 2 hours after
the 35mg/kg (total) he is up and about, give him some
more ibo (not over 45mg/kg at one sitting), you want
him  to be wobbled. If he barfs up the ibogaine –
there you have to guestimate how much he lost and
replace it. If he threw it all up 1 hour later he
would have absorbed about 1/2 of the ibo, a bit more
if it were HCL, less if it were Indra (just to confuse
things) – for ballpark idea.

Good luck, all will be well very soon. I will be home
tomorrow if you need to contact me. Normally things go
just fine. FYI, if you like a tiny amount of ibo for
you (say 25mg) will help you get in sync with him.

From their site

“0,5 – 1 gram: Mainly stimulant and aphrodisiac

is different. In Ethnogardens’ product it would be

which
would be about equal to 100mg HCL, a typical test

OK, ethnogarden got back to me.

The test dose of 150mg is fine but that 3.95gm of
their extract is TOO HIGH (seriously). It comes to
58mg/kg for a 68kg person and should be reduced to
35mg-45mg/kg per Ethnogarden. In other types of
ibogaine the habit you describe of $20 a day would put
it at a lower dose rather than the max dose, usually
for methadone addicts. Again, I am unfamiliar with
their particular flavor of extract – crunch some
number time… 2.5gm total puts it at almost 37mg/kg,
you can always take a little more later if you need
it, the last thing you want to do is “oops, took too
much ibogaine”… You should know how far UP THERE you
go by 1.5 hours after the dose, or less and would be
best if you took the main dose all within about 3
hours. I suggest not to keep taking the stuff over
ethnogarden’s recomendation of 45mg/kg in one sitting
if you are having some withdrawal symptoms, too much
ibogaine can be a bad thing. Again I am unfamiliar
with their product but ya can’t keep hitting the ibo
safely if you are somewhat sick, expect some
discomfort and don’t try to get rid of all of it (in
the usual addict fashion…).

Hope that helps.

Ethnogarden contacted me about the extract being used.
There seems to be some confusion (on my part?) about
the dosage/potency of their 16:1 extract, I have asked
them to contact me/the list about dosages/potency
(etc). It appears to me that at 16:1 almost 3.95 grams
of their extract is high, appearances can be
deceiving… (eg at 16:1 it comes to over 63 gm of
root bark or that is what it looks like) or in the
case of a 68kg person 3.95gm (total suggested) comes
to 58mg/kg which is still over the dosage range they
just gave me of 35-45mg/kg for their extract –
initially I was told it was 1:1 to ibogaine HCL – so
there is some confusion that needs to be cleared up.
All I can say not knowing their product and till I
hear from them is go with whatever they say on
dosages/test dosages but I don’t want someone getting
hurt either so double check the dosages they gave you,
something seems off.

As always, be careful with ibogaine.

I’ve called the Rev. Richard Erhardt from Freeport (the Phil Dick fan) and the Rev. Gordon Bailey, Assistant Minister at Community Church on 35th St. Both are very interested in Ibogaine, and would like to meet with you. Richard will call you soon. Gordon is looking into what needs to be done to get space at the church for that February forum.

BTW, I hadn’t realized you were once Field Marshal of the White Panther Party. I’d never heard of them till I bought an album by The Up a couple weeks ago. Great music, great message!

Could they come to the next mtg of the Ibogaine Working Group at 22 w. 27th (5th floor) at 4pm Monday at the Harm Reduction Center? We will be there until 6 pm.

We can also meet at 9 Bleecker if they are not available until after 6.

Ibogaine strikes me as one where you most definitely need to be prepared
for vomit. It’s an integral part of it. One good way to get it over with
fast is to twist your shoulders quickly to the left or right, while keeping
your stomach straight ahead. This will project it all out, very quickly.
The whole point is to detox. I know that with DMT, people will fast
beforehand if they want to avoid the demon Vomitus. There’s also the risk
with DMT of crapping all over yourself. Since the point of ibogaine is to
detox, I would welcome the Vomitus. I don’t want this nasty crap inside of
me anyway, so come on Vomitus; do your black magic.

Vomiting is a good thing.

Well, from a medical point of view, the vomiting probably isn’t very
efficacious; if you’ve been using drugs for an extended period of time,
the toxins are in your liver, kidneys, bloodstream, lungs, etc. Vomitting
wont help this. But the SYMBOLISM of vomitting i would imagine to be very
important on a psychological (and spiritual, if thats your thing) level.

I could be completely making this up, but I also seem to remember the
vomitting phase of iboga intoxication being integral to the traditional
initiation cememonies in West Africa. This spiritual cleansing through
vomitting theme can be seen in a number of other initiatory rituals; the
one that comes to mind most quickly is the Peyote rituals of Native
Americans.

So i think whether or not the ibogaine induced vomitting actually has a
physical cleaning effect is irrelavent to the point of the experience,
this is more than removing toxins, this is holistic cleansing.

We haven’t opened the additional lists yet, since the beta is finally
stable and not FLYING out of anything.  Basically this means the Vox list
will be absorbed therein; and ibogaine and drugwar will continue as they
are now, and get gently blended into the mix once it is HIGHLY stable, and
we’re sure nothing will be disrupted.

I will toss an endline onto the messages, and make it simpler for the

On another topic.  The lists are closed, this means that most spam,

However, there are various script kiddies sending out crap and

(Which was filtered out).  Is Howard’s email address that he uses to post

actually comes from is:

<skript kiddie crap snipped>

^^^ Alla that will do absolutely nothing to a Unix box, Mac, or any
machine which isn’t running Windoze and/or Outlook.

If you are using Windoze and POP to Outlook, or read shit in IE5/6, then
it’s a REALLY EXCELLENT idea to have Norton anti-virus, or sumthin’ of
that nature, or you will eventually be sorry.

Basically, to put it into laymen’s terms: Windoze is a pile of shit virus
magnet, and Outlook is swiss cheese.

Just mentioning,

Thank you Brett for all these excellent comments. Martin is at a low dose
situation, so his habits are $20 (CN) daily (down from $600 daily three
months ago), his last fix will be at 2.00 p.m. Monday. His body weight is 68
kg. Monday we get the EKG back, analysis of his blood tests. If all looks
well with heart and liver, we proceed as planned.

Your suggested .5 –  1 gram test dose is much higher than any previous
recommendation however, suggestions ranged from 150 mg – 250 mg prior to
your suggestion.

Dana,

I’ve called the Rev. Richard Erhardt from Freeport (the Phil Dick fan) and the Rev. Gordon Bailey, Assistant Minister at Community Church on 35th St. Both are very interested in Ibogaine, and would like to meet with you. Richard will call you soon. Gordon is looking into what needs to be done to get space at the church for that February forum.

So– can you or either of these folks make it for Monday’s meeting at the HRC?

I usually contact my dead relatives on that time, but if I get a reminder,
I’m definitely into it. That’s great you have a bunch of people doing it.
The more you have, the better it can work. The goal could be to use all
the
energy to free everyone of all that’s negative within them. The myth about
Halloween, called Samhain in the tradition it comes from, is  that it is
the time when the veil btwn the living and the dead is at its thinnest.

Yes, around now will be a very potent time for all things iboga-esque. After
tomorrow’s full moon, with the moon moving into Taurus and the sun into its
cojoint Scorpio, and for about a month afterward, the veil between the
physical and the Bwiti’s Land of the Ancestors will indeed be very light.
Might be worth burning some iboga rootbark on Samhain [s’wain], Oct 31st,
the Celtic New Year, if you’re treating people with ibogaine, with the
request that the great spirit doesn’t cause any of your punters to move from
one side of the veil to the other in the coming year.

Just a thought

Feeling Antigravity’s Pull
Can NASA stop the apple from falling on Newton’s head?
By Adam Rogers
Posted Friday, October 18, 2002, at 8:30 AM PT

“Don’t call it antigravity research,” Ron Koczor pleads. He’s a physicist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and he’s talking about a project he’s been working on for almost a decade. “Call it ‘gravity modification.’ ‘Gravity anomalies.’ Anything but antigravity. That’s a red flag.”

When people find out that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has researchers working on sci-fi stuff like antigravity—or rather, “gravity modification”—the red flags do indeed start waving. Reputable scientists like Koczor earn polite disdain from colleagues (or worse, from funders of research). But truth’s truth: NASA has been studying the manipulation of gravity for at least 10 years, as have nongovernment researchers.

NASA began its work after a Russian physicist named Evgeny Podkletnov published an article in the peer-reviewed journal Physica C in 1992. Podkletnov claimed that a device built around a superconductor and a magnet could shield an object from gravity. The trick, he said, was to make a superconducting disc about a foot in diameter, chill it, levitate it over magnets—a nifty property of superconductors is that they repel magnetic fields—and set it revolving like a compact disc. Podkletnov said an object placed above that contraption lost 0.3 percent of its weight. The object itself didn’t change. Rather, gravity’s effect on it lessened.

If that effect could be harnessed and strengthened, the aerospace industry would be upended. Vessels bound for space wouldn’t have to ride atop massive, barely controlled explosions. All the energy human beings expend moving things around, from cargo to cars, could be reduced or eliminated. And post-Einsteinian physics would have to be rewritten to explain what the hell was going on. Podkletnov called the effect “gravitational force shielding,” and even in the absence of a good theory to explain the phenomenon, other researchers took notice. “Because his experiment and results were published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal, that gave it a level of credibility,” Koczor says.

After Podkletnov published his article, it took NASA until 1999 to figure out how to make a large, thin superconducting disc. Ceramic high-temperature superconductors are brittle as cheap china, and the discs kept shattering. Once they solved that problem, NASA paid Columbus, Ohio-based SCI Engineered Materials $650,000 to build the entire apparatus. But Podkletnov had called for a disc with two layers, one superconducting and one not, and SCI didn’t solve that engineering challenge until last year. Then they hit another roadblock. The disc wouldn’t spin. SCI engineers stuck a rotor through the disc’s center to turn it mechanically, but Podkletnov specified 5,000 revolutions per minute. SCI’s device barely pulls 30 rpm.

Why not just ask Podkletnov how to build the thing? SCI brought him over to consult a couple of years ago, to little avail. “His excuse basically was that he was a ceramics physicist, not an electrical or mechanical engineer, and other people built the device for him,” Koczor says. “Draw your own conclusions. All I know is, if I were a principal investigator on something like this, I would know the size and thread-depth of every screw in the damn thing. But you know, the Europeans and the Russians, they’re different. They’re much more, ‘this is your job and this is my job.’ So it’s plausible that he didn’t know the details.” It might not matter. SCI’s contract is ending, and Koczor’s budget to explore “way-out physics” is spent. He hasn’t got the money to actually test the device even if it did meet Podkletnov’s specs.

But researchers outside NASA are working on the problem, too. This summer Nick Cook, a writer for Jane’s Defence Weekly, reported that aerospace giant Boeing was pursuing antigravity research. Boeing denied it. “We are aware of Podkletnov’s work on ‘anti-gravity’ devices and would be interested in seeing further development work being done,” said a company statement. “However, Boeing is not funding any activities in this area at this time.” Note Boeing’s use of the Clintonian present tense. They never contacted Jane’s to ask for a correction, Cook says. Meanwhile, British aerospace company BAE Systems says it’s keeping an eye on the research, and that it had once funded its own antigravity project, Greenglow.

Unfortunately, Cook strains his own credibility somewhat. A couple of weeks after his Jane’s piece appeared, Cook’s book on antigravity research, The Hunt for Zero Point, came out. In it, he claims that the Nazis built an antigravity device during World War II. Its absence from present-day science, Cook says, implies a vast “black” world of secret antigravity aircraft that might explain the UFOs people see over Area 51. He’s a careful investigative reporter, but once you start talking about UFOs and Nazi antigravity you’re not far from hidden tunnels under the White House full of lizard-men disguised as Freemasons.

Even without Nazis, there are plenty of reasons to doubt Podkletnov. My e-mails to the account listed on his recent articles (not peer-reviewed) went unanswered. Even more problematic, I can’t find the institution he lists as his affiliation in Moscow. “Eugene always expressed his worries that others could copy his work, although as far as I know he never applied for a patent,” Giovanni Modanese, a collaborator of Podkletnov’s at the University of Bolzano in Italy, wrote in an e-mail (using a Western version of Podkletnov’s first name). “Nonetheless, at the scientific level if one wants a confirmation by others and a successful replication, one must give all the necessary elements.” Well, yeah. Modanese says that the current version of the device, now called an “impulse gravity generator,” is simpler and could be built “by a big-science team of people expert in superconductivity.” A Boeing spokesperson didn’t respond to follow-up questions. So, either there’s nothing going on here, or it’s an X-File.

And the science? Ten years is a long time to go without replication. Combine that with Podkletnov’s cagey behavior and it’s enough to make even sci-fi geeks like me lose hope. But like the core of any good conspiracy, antigravity research has the ring of plausibility. One of the outstanding problems in physics and cosmology today involves the existence of so-called dark matter and dark energy. They’re by far the main constituents of matter in the universe, and nobody knows what they’re made of—researchers have only inferred their existence from gravitational effects. Coming up with a new theory of how gravity works might explain that, though it’d be a scientific revolution on a par with relativity. “Changing gravity is in the cards,” says Paul Schechter, an astronomer at MIT. “But so far no one’s been able to do better than Einstein.” Still, Einstein worked in a lowly patent office. Ron Koczor works for NASA.

What if someone vomit the Iboga and going into withdrawal and his/her
stomach wouldn’t take more ?

You wouldn’t like to see a person in drug withdrawals because of their vomit
fear ,

administer the Iboga rectal which will take the withdrawals a way but will
not upset the stomach .

the person should lay down on his left side ,the leg on top should be bended
and rested on the knee ,

take care that you don’t have long nails and that you have a clean rubber
glove you can administer the Iboga ,

while you do that you have to make the person know that it takes only a
second and it might will give them a

shock but it is better then anything els you can do at the moment even if it
no fun ,

Ibogaine strikes me as one where you most definitely need to be prepared
for vomit. It’s an integral part of it. One good way to get it over with
fast is to twist your shoulders quickly to the left or right, while
keeping
your stomach straight ahead. This will project it all out, very quickly.
The whole point is to detox. I know that with DMT, people will fast
beforehand if they want to avoid the demon Vomitus. There’s also the risk
with DMT of crapping all over yourself. Since the point of ibogaine is to
detox, I would welcome the Vomitus. I don’t want this nasty crap inside of
me anyway, so come on Vomitus; do your black magic.

Vomiting is a good thing.

Absolutely. Most of the time if you are gonna puke,
you are gonna puke eventually anyway, just less of
it/less often. It is not so much to stop it all, just
to be more comfortable and not over-due it with the
vomiting – which can happen. Ibogaine seems to detox,
make fluid and phlegm come out, sometimes black vomit
or piss. It depends on how TOXIC someone is. Me, I am
clean and not toxic at all, don’t NEED to puke and
don’t but other people who are highly toxic can do
with some good cleansing. The one time I did vomit (I
was toxic) was hours and hours after the ibo, I was
not sick, just one masterful HUGE voiding all at once
-and I needed it at the time.

Vomiting is not a bad thing.

For future reference, does mj work as an
anti-emetic
in this instance, or

Sure it will help. The BIG thing is not to move,
once
you start moving you will likely get sick, once
you
are sick you are SICK (pretty much). Keep still,
move
slowly. NO anti-emetic is going to help very much
if a
patient is moving around, they will still likely
get
sick – just a bit less. Stay still, if the patient
moves, move VERY VERY slowly and let the body
adjust
to the moving – eg, sit-up in bed slowly, let the
sloshing (so to speak) ease up, turn to the side
of
the bed, let yourself adjust, stand-up slowly, let
the
oozyness subside, then start to walk… Keep the
head
in line with the body the whole time. You may have
to
put your hand on them to regulate how fast they
move,
they may not be able to judge how fast they move
so
guide them if necessary – in other words you can
say
move slowly and they may POP-UP in bed… in which
case they turn several shades of green and land
flat
back in bed…

Did I say to KEEP STILL??? That is the #1, #2 and
#3
best thing you can do to keep from getting sick.
So I
will say it again “KEEP STILL”, do not move. Lie
flat
on your back is usually the best position.

does it potentiate the ibo (which may not be a
bad
thing)? Of course this
could mean either smoked or eaten.

I wouldn’t eat it with ibo and wouldn’t use very
much
either. Smoking will not potentiate ibo, just
relaxes,
they do not conflict and seem to go well together

from what I have heard of course…

ONCE AGAIN, STAY STILL (repeat that 1000 times).

One other thing, don’t move too fast in front of
the
patient, don’t ZOOM IN their face, don’t wave
hands
around – that can make the oozy. YOu as the guide
need
to move slowly too.

Marc

into healthy, robust individuals. I was
staggered.

You should see how it feels from “this” side…

Comes to my place. Hangs out. No food or eating
except a litle fruit or small amount only. Interact

He needs a good 12 hours (+) , can (IMO) eat (real)
fruit or juice till about 4 hours before treatment –
so he could eat the evening before.

with Martin, talk about the next day, talk about
music. Watch Poyaqquatsi. Go to bed at midnight.

Martin wakes at 8.00, showers, gets comfortable.

Shower, pee, yes, “get comfortable”.

At  2.00 p.m. , 150 mg Extract in gel cap
administered to see adverse reaction.

150 mg isn’t enough, try 1/2-1gm a couple hours before
the main dose.

An hour later,  administer  1,200 mg. in gel caps
with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps
with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps
with milk (5.00 p.m.)

Some do it that way, you cold give it all at once
(except the tester dose). To me it is LONG ENOUGH
without making it longer, I want it overwith so I
would do it all at once – but broken up as above is
fine.  You didn’t say how big and how bad a habit the
patient has, 4gm should/could do it, he can take more
(eg 5gm total, 1gm test followed by 4). YOu can also
give him/her a little more once you get started if
withdrawals start (they should be mild) or the next
day. DO NOT go over 6gm of ibo for the treatment the
first day. It also may be helpful to just give him
another 1gm in a day or so even if he doesn’t seem to
meed it much. Keep in mind that ibogaine has some
withdrawl-like symptoms and addicts may also have some
minor withdrawals – usually it seems (to them) much
worse than it is.

You can use an anti-emetic to make the patient more
comfortable (eg dramamine), some people do it, some
don’t use anti-emetics. Ginger tea also helps, DO NOT
MOVE helps the most, if he has to, keep the head fixed
with the body and turn the whole body very slowly.
Long slow deep breaths (4 seconds in, hold for 4, out
in 4 and wait for 4 secones) for any anxiety – usually
happens the first few hours.

Room kept fairly dark after onset. Pail for
urination at the bedside, washroom nearby.

For PUKE too, again, pee first. Ibogaine seems to
cause a very slight amount of urgency to urinate once
you start peeing, so he doesn’t have to get-up right
away.

3 attendents total ,organized in 8 hour shifts.
Hydration necessary, Over the next period of

Wait several hours before administering any fluids so
the ibo gets absorbed.

visualizations and experience, observe any unusual
reactions.

There are many unusual reactions that are quite normal
and nothing to worry about. If there is a vision he
doesn’t like, simply blink.

I would also suggest being ready for a re-treat, some
need it, others don’t – extending the treatment by
giving a bit more ibo (depends on how he is doing as
to what/how much) after the main dose (extended
treatment) will lessen the need/will be more
effective. See how he is doing and ask the
list/contact a guide if you have any questions. I
would also get the # of a guide and keep it handy,
right next to emergency numbers (ambulance???)

Also, follow protocol. He needs EKG, physical, liver
checked… DO NOT MIX WITH MEDICATIONS unless you are
sure they mix with ibo, NO DOPE or if he is going to
after the ibo, cut it way back – like to 1/3rd a dose.

All IMO of course

Good luck

Brett

in some drug instances, vomiting may be part of the
experience, an integral
thing. In those cases I upchuck with religious
passion, and try to make the
most of it.

Absolutely. Most of the time if you are gonna puke,
you are gonna puke eventually anyway, just less of
it/less often. It is not so much to stop it all, just
to be more comfortable and not over-due it with the
vomiting – which can happen. Ibogaine seems to detox,
make fluid and phlegm come out, sometimes black vomit
or piss. It depends on how TOXIC someone is. Me, I am
clean and not toxic at all, don’t NEED to puke and
don’t but other people who are highly toxic can do
with some good cleansing. The one time I did vomit (I
was toxic) was hours and hours after the ibo, I was
not sick, just one masterful HUGE voiding all at once
-and I needed it at the time.

Vomiting is not a bad thing.

For future reference, does mj work as an
anti-emetic
in this instance, or

Sure it will help. The BIG thing is not to move,
once
you start moving you will likely get sick, once
you
are sick you are SICK (pretty much). Keep still,
move
slowly. NO anti-emetic is going to help very much
if a
patient is moving around, they will still likely
get
sick – just a bit less. Stay still, if the patient
moves, move VERY VERY slowly and let the body
adjust
to the moving – eg, sit-up in bed slowly, let the
sloshing (so to speak) ease up, turn to the side
of
the bed, let yourself adjust, stand-up slowly, let
the
oozyness subside, then start to walk… Keep the
head
in line with the body the whole time. You may have
to
put your hand on them to regulate how fast they
move,
they may not be able to judge how fast they move
so
guide them if necessary – in other words you can
say
move slowly and they may POP-UP in bed… in which
case they turn several shades of green and land
flat
back in bed…

Did I say to KEEP STILL??? That is the #1, #2 and
#3
best thing you can do to keep from getting sick.
So I
will say it again “KEEP STILL”, do not move. Lie
flat
on your back is usually the best position.

does it potentiate the ibo (which may not be a
bad
thing)? Of course this
could mean either smoked or eaten.

I wouldn’t eat it with ibo and wouldn’t use very
much
either. Smoking will not potentiate ibo, just
relaxes,
they do not conflict and seem to go well together

from what I have heard of course…

ONCE AGAIN, STAY STILL (repeat that 1000 times).

One other thing, don’t move too fast in front of
the
patient, don’t ZOOM IN their face, don’t wave
hands
around – that can make the oozy. YOu as the guide
need
to move slowly too.

I never thought I’d meet anyone who’s mastered the art of vomiting as I
have. Everything Brett says below is so true. Move SLOWLY, ever so slowly.
I’ve found if you can get your way into the lotus position, that helps as
well, and just sit there and breathe deeply until the sickness passes. But,
in some drug instances, vomiting may be part of the experience, an integral
thing. In those cases I upchuck with religious passion, and try to make the
most of it.

Hi Dana,

have you seen Mario Van Peebles’s movie Panther? According to it,
BPP was basically destroyed because of FBI infiltration, and FBI
agents were responsible for bringing heroin into ghettos (with

They’re still around. And some of them relate to Ibo. This Unitarian

That should be good enough ,Just make him breath deep if he is restless  and let him to stay still ,
the more movement the greater the chance that he can vomit if that will happen after few hours that’s wouldn’t matter ,
just try to make him comfortable with you , and drink a little water  .

All the best ,

Hello everyone, my name is Marc Emery.

My adopted son, a heroin and methadone addict for 4 years, along with his girlfriend of 4 years (also addicted), were administered iboga (3,800 mg whole extract, for my son, 2,800 mg. for the woman) 25 days ago. I saw them at day 21, the transformation from hollowed, gaunt, dazed lethargy (and all those illnesses!), into healthy, robust individuals. I was staggered.

An employee of mine, I sent to Amsterdam three years ago, to Sara Glatt for whole iboga extract, my first person I assisted to get treatment. (Woman, 82 kg, 5,000 mg.)

In four days, I will administer 4,000 mg. whole iboga extract to a 20 year old, poly addicted (cocaine/heroin) male. This is my first time administering this substance, though I have procured the extract for my son and his friend, financed and arranged Amsterdam therapy visits for an employee. I have read about 250pages of the literature in the Ibogaine Dossier and other web sites.

I have talked alot to Dana Beal, a little to Dr. Malemede.

So I want anyone toadd suggestions to my intended plan:

Martin fixes, Monday 2.00  p.m.

Comes to my place. Hangs out. No food or eating except a litle fruit or small amount only. Interact with Martin, talk about the next day, talk about music. Watch Poyaqquatsi. Go to bed at midnight.

Martin wakes at 8.00, showers, gets comfortable.

At  2.00 p.m. , 150 mg Extract in gel cap administered to see adverse reaction.

An hour later,  administer  1,200 mg. in gel caps with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps with milk (5.00 p.m.)

Room kept fairly dark after onset. Pail for urination at the bedside, washroom nearby.
3 attendents total ,organized in 8 hour shifts. Hydration necessary, Over the next period of visualizations and experience, observe any unusual reactions.

Any comments please?

You can use an anti-emetic to make the patient more
comfortable (eg dramamine), some people do it, some
don’t use anti-emetics.

For future reference, does mj work as an anti-emetic in this instance, or
does it potentiate the ibo (which may not be a bad thing)? Of course this
could mean either smoked or eaten.

into healthy, robust individuals. I was
staggered.

You should see how it feels from “this” side…

Comes to my place. Hangs out. No food or eating
except a litle fruit or small amount only. Interact

He needs a good 12 hours (+) , can (IMO) eat (real)
fruit or juice till about 4 hours before treatment –
so he could eat the evening before.

with Martin, talk about the next day, talk about
music. Watch Poyaqquatsi. Go to bed at midnight.

Martin wakes at 8.00, showers, gets comfortable.

Shower, pee, yes, “get comfortable”.

At  2.00 p.m. , 150 mg Extract in gel cap
administered to see adverse reaction.

150 mg isn’t enough, try 1/2-1gm a couple hours before
the main dose.

An hour later,  administer  1,200 mg. in gel caps
with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps
with milk
An hour later, administer    1,300 mg. in gel caps
with milk (5.00 p.m.)

Some do it that way, you cold give it all at once
(except the tester dose). To me it is LONG ENOUGH
without making it longer, I want it overwith so I
would do it all at once – but broken up as above is
fine.  You didn’t say how big and how bad a habit the
patient has, 4gm should/could do it, he can take more
(eg 5gm total, 1gm test followed by 4). YOu can also
give him/her a little more once you get started if
withdrawals start (they should be mild) or the next
day. DO NOT go over 6gm of ibo for the treatment the
first day. It also may be helpful to just give him
another 1gm in a day or so even if he doesn’t seem to
meed it much. Keep in mind that ibogaine has some
withdrawl-like symptoms and addicts may also have some
minor withdrawals – usually it seems (to them) much
worse than it is.

You can use an anti-emetic to make the patient more
comfortable (eg dramamine), some people do it, some
don’t use anti-emetics. Ginger tea also helps, DO NOT
MOVE helps the most, if he has to, keep the head fixed
with the body and turn the whole body very slowly.
Long slow deep breaths (4 seconds in, hold for 4, out
in 4 and wait for 4 secones) for any anxiety – usually
happens the first few hours.

Room kept fairly dark after onset. Pail for
urination at the bedside, washroom nearby.

For PUKE too, again, pee first. Ibogaine seems to
cause a very slight amount of urgency to urinate once
you start peeing, so he doesn’t have to get-up right
away.

3 attendents total ,organized in 8 hour shifts.
Hydration necessary, Over the next period of

Wait several hours before administering any fluids so
the ibo gets absorbed.

visualizations and experience, observe any unusual
reactions.

There are many unusual reactions that are quite normal
and nothing to worry about. If there is a vision he
doesn’t like, simply blink.

I would also suggest being ready for a re-treat, some
need it, others don’t – extending the treatment by
giving a bit more ibo (depends on how he is doing as
to what/how much) after the main dose (extended
treatment) will lessen the need/will be more
effective. See how he is doing and ask the
list/contact a guide if you have any questions. I
would also get the # of a guide and keep it handy,
right next to emergency numbers (ambulance???)

Also, follow protocol. He needs EKG, physical, liver
checked… DO NOT MIX WITH MEDICATIONS unless you are
sure they mix with ibo, NO DOPE or if he is going to
after the ibo, cut it way back – like to 1/3rd a dose.

All IMO of course

Good luck

Brett

Re: URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v02.n1941.a03.html

If the “crux of the drug problem”, as you say, is the “regeneration
of the user”–I have to ask:  what if the drug that could CURE
addiction was itself ILLEGAL?

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. It is available in St.
Kitts, through the University of Miami, Mexico City and Tijuana. We
are opening clinics in Vancouver, Windsor, and Montreal.

The only reason there’s currently a shortage of treatment beds for
addicts is that we’re not using the latest technology to cut the
length of inpatient treatment.

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.

Yeah, that’s cute. Base64-encoded html attachment to launch something in an
iFrame, I would assume, but am not bothering to decode it.

Sygate and ZoneAlarm make decent, free firewalls, and both are better than
BlackIce (which is not free), and AVG makes great, free anti-virus software
… or, as Patrick mentioned, don’t use Billy Gate’s bastard child of an OS,
or use something other than Outlook or Outlook Express for email. Unless you
really have to, as I do, unfortunately. Newbies with Linux can have massive
security holes in their schtuff as well, but won’t get into that too much.
Just learn how to use it if you have it.

We haven’t opened the additional lists yet, since the beta is finally
stable and not FLYING out of anything.  Basically this means the Vox list
will be absorbed therein; and ibogaine and drugwar will continue as they
are now, and get gently blended into the mix once it is HIGHLY stable, and
we’re sure nothing will be disrupted.

I will toss an endline onto the messages, and make it simpler for the
terminally brain dead to unsubscribe, in the near future — meaning;
coming no later than 2004.

On another topic.  The lists are closed, this means that most spam,
viruses, shit like that, gets stripped out and does not land here.

However, there are various script kiddies sending out crap and
cross-posting it — or attempting to anyway.

Fer instance, this:

actually comes from is:

^^^ Alla that will do absolutely nothing to a Unix box, Mac, or any
machine which isn’t running Windoze and/or Outlook.

If you are using Windoze and POP to Outlook, or read shit in IE5/6, then
it’s a REALLY EXCELLENT idea to have Norton anti-virus, or sumthin’ of
that nature, or you will eventually be sorry.

Basically, to put it into laymen’s terms: Windoze is a pile of shit virus

Dana,

I’ve called the Rev. Richard Erhardt from Freeport (the Phil Dick fan) and the Rev. Gordon Bailey, Assistant Minister at Community Church on 35th St. Both are very interested in Ibogaine, and would like to meet with you. Richard will call you soon. Gordon is looking into what needs to be done to get space at the church for that February forum.

BTW, I hadn’t realized you were once Field Marshal of the White Panther Party. I’d never heard of them till I bought an album by The Up a couple weeks ago. Great music, great message!

Could they come to the next mtg of the Ibogaine Working Group at 22 w. 27th (5th floor) at 4pm Monday at the Harm Reduction Center? We will be there until 6 pm.

We can also meet at 9 Bleecker if they are not available until after 6.

We haven’t opened the additional lists yet, since the beta is finally
stable and not FLYING out of anything.  Basically this means the Vox list
will be absorbed therein; and ibogaine and drugwar will continue as they
are now, and get gently blended into the mix once it is HIGHLY stable, and
we’re sure nothing will be disrupted.

I will toss an endline onto the messages, and make it simpler for the
terminally brain dead to unsubscribe, in the near future — meaning;
coming no later than 2004.

On another topic.  The lists are closed, this means that most spam,

However, there are various script kiddies sending out crap and
cross-posting it — or attempting to anyway.

02:00 PM Oct. 16, 2002 PDT

The American Civil Liberties Union rolled out a national campaign
Wednesday to challenge government anti-terror policies that the group
deems undemocratic.

Dubbed Keep America Safe and Free, the multimillion-dollar effort was
announced by the ACLU at a Washington press conference that highlighted
accounts from several peace activists who claimed they’d been singled
out by authorities because of their political views.

“The Bush administration has presented Americans with a false dichotomy
that we must choose between being safe or free,” said ACLU national
spokeswoman Emily Whitfield. “We’re saying there doesn’t have to be a
choice. We can stay safe and free at the same time.”

The ACLU has filed 24 lawsuits for civil liberties violations since the
Sept. 11 attacks, including several for airline passengers who claim
they were kicked off flights or singled out for questioning because of
their dark skin.

The group will air television spots featuring a close-up of a hand
cutting up and rewriting the U.S. Constitution as a voiceover charges
Attorney General John Ashcroft with violating the First and Fourth
amendments, which guarantee free speech and guards against unreasonable
searches and seizures.

The ACLU is also actively looking for people who feel they have been
“victimized” by the expanded government powers granted by the Patriot
Act or Operation TIPS, which encourages the public to report their
neighbors’ suspicious behavior to the FBI. (The site states that more
than 200,000 tips have been filed since Sept. 11.)

Several people have already stepped forward alleging government
harassment, including:

A.J. Brown, a 20-year-old antiwar activist and computer major at Durham
Technical Community College in North Carolina. Brown was questioned by
the Secret Service after an anonymous tipster called the agency to
denounce an anti-Bush poster hanging in her apartment. The poster
depicts Bush holding a length of rope over a backdrop of figures
hanging by their necks and criticizes the number of death row inmates
who were executed during Bush’s tenure as Texas governor.

Brown was getting ready for a Friday night date when two agents from
the Raleigh office and a local police investigator showed up at her
doorstep, saying they’d received a report that she had “anti-American”
material in her apartment. They had no warrant, so she refused to grant
them entry, but opened the door wide enough to let them view the
poster, she said.

For 45 minutes, they tried to convince her to let them into her
apartment, to check if she had any maps of Afghanistan or pro-Taliban
material, she said.

“I kept saying no,” Brown said. “Finally, I was like, ‘I think the
Taliban are assholes,’ and they left a little later. At first I thought
they were rounding up activists and incarcerating them; I was scared.
After they’d gone, I didn’t know whether to scream or laugh my head
off.”

Brown, who refused to give her complete name out of fear of reprisals
for her anti-Bush views, will be featured in some of the ACLU
commercials.

Andrew Mandell, a member of Voices in the Wilderness, a group that
protests U.S. sanctions against Iraq. Mandell was questioned by Chicago
police and a postal inspector after refusing to use stamps featuring
the American flag on a newsletter going out to 4,000 of the group’s
supporters.

“Because of the work we do, we felt some people might be offended by
the stamp, so we asked for any stamp but the American flag stamp,” said
Mandell.

The postal worker asked Mandell and a colleague to wait while she got
the stamps, then went into a back room to phone the police. Two cops
arrived, asked Mandell what he had against the flag, and left after he
explained the group’s position. The postal worker told Mandell to
return for his stamps the next day. When he did, a postal inspector
took him into a back room to ask about the group’s activities and
funding. Additionally, the inspector requested to inspect the mass
mailing before it was sent; Mandell acquiesced.

“It felt like he had a lot of power to make my life miserable,” Mandell
said. “I didn’t like the potential of the situation.”

Sarah Backus, the co-coordinator of the Wisconsin chapter of the School
of the Americas Watch, a group that accuses the Georgia military school
of training Latin American soldiers to commit human rights violations.
The group was in the Milwaukee airport on its way to lobby Congress to
shut the school down when Midwest Express informed 20 of the 37 members
that they were on a “no fly” list and could not board their plane,
Backus said.

The group — whose members range from high school students to a nun —
was pulled aside and questioned by a group of sheriff’s deputies. The
FAA couldn’t be reached for instructions on how to handle the situation
before the flight, and the airline put the group up at a hotel. They
flew out the next morning without incident.

Backus said the group was never told why certain members were flagged,
although one deputy theorized that it was because they were “protesting
America” and another deputy mused that member Jacob Laden’s last name
was a lot like Osama bin Laden’s.

“It was like keystone cops,” said Backus. “But at the same time it all
felt covert and frightening.”

——————————–@#%!!**#@@—————>>>>—>

THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC IS DEAD. HAIL THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. OR ELSE.

My old pal Mitch Kapor said years ago that what I needed was a
“hyperbolectomy.” Were such a procedure to exist, this would probably
be a
good time to get one, since I suddenly find myself incapable of
discussing
the present state of the American Experiment without veering off into
Very
Large Statements.

With that admonition in mind, I hope that you will continue to read
this
rant, adjusting it to your own reality settings. This is just how bad
it
looks to me. From my perspective, this is not hyperbolic at all.

I believe that the American Republic died in the U.S. Senate last
Thursday
morning and was buried yesterday morning in the East Room of the
White
House.

Despite a deluge of calls, letters, and e-mails, which Capital Hill
staffers admitted ran overwhelmingly against the ludicrously-named
“Resolution Authorizing the President to Use Force, if Necessary, to
End
the Threat to World Peace from Saddam Hussein’s Weapons of Mass
Destruction,” Congress extended to George II the authority to make
unlimited and preemptive war against another nation that has neither
attacked us nor shown the ability or inclination to do so.

(Thank you, by the way, for your own contributions to this flood of
futile
dissent. They may have ignored you, but you will sleep better for
knowing
that you were not one of the “silent Germans.”)

The resolution was deemed necessary on several grounds.

– Iraq possesses and is developing weapons of mass destruction – an
unquestioned if Orwellian phrase that makes no qualitative
distinction
between a hundred pounds of spoiled hamburger and a 50 megaton bomb.

– Iraq has flouted a number of U.N. resolutions and international
accords
regarding such weapons, many of which the United States has also
ignored or
abrogated.

– A member of Al-Queda is thought to have visited Iraq.

– Iraq has shown a willingness to use military force in the Middle
East,
again, not unlike ourselves.

– Saddam Hussein is a real son-of-a-bitch who is easier to find than
Osama
bin Laden.

Despite the fact that we have been exposed to far worse during our
history
– whether by Bloody Old England, the Kaiser, Nazi Germany, Imperial
Japan,
the Soviet Union, Red China, or, hell, France on a bad day – we have
never
before declared war without being attacked nor have we extended an
American
President the right to do so at his pleasure.

The dangerous possibility of such behavior was explicitly foreseen by
the
architects of the American Republic when they designed the
Consitution. As
James Madison declared in a letter to James Monroe:

The only case in which the Executive can enter on a war, undeclared
by
Congress, is when a state of war has ‘been actually’ produced by the
conduct of another power, and then it ought to be made known as soon
as
possible to the Department charged with the war power.

Their reasons were eloquently restated by Abraham Lincoln in an 1848
letter
to his law partner, William H. Herndon. Herndon had suggested that
the
United States would be prudent to attack Mexico before they attacked
us, as
they clearly appeared willing to do. Lincoln replied:

Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall
deem
it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so
whenever he
may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose – – and you
allow
him to make war at pleasure. Study to see if you can fix any limit to
his
power in this respect, after you have given him so much as you
propose. If,
to-day, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade
Canada, to
prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may
say
to him, ‘I see no probability of the British invading us’ but he will
say
to you ‘be silent; I see it, if you don’t.’

The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to
Congress,
was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had
always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars,
pretending
generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object.
This,
our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly
oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no
one man
should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your
view
destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have
always
stood.

Robert Byrd quoted that passage in his brilliantly Quixotic speech to
the
Senate last week. The Senate ignored him as easily as they ignored
you and
millions of others who believe in American principles.

And now we have a King, George II, where presidents have always
stood.

Today, as he signed his coronation decree, he lied, “I have not
ordered the
use of force. I hope the use of force will not become necessary.”

But, folks, he *has* ordered the use of force and began doing so
shortly
after seizing office. Though you’d scarcely know it to read the
papers,
we’ve been bombing the crap out of Southern Iraq since February 16,
2001,
when we hit five radar installations in the vicinity of Baghdad.
Since
then, the bombing has been increasing steadily. There have been 48
bombing
raids south of the “no-fly zone” so far this year. Iraq claims that
1300
civilians have been killed in these bombings – and, while I doubt
that
number, many of these casualties have been confirmed by international
observers. I’ll bet the last thing those innocent wretches saw looked
a lot
like force to them.

It is not simply that we have made a Caesar of Bush, we have, in
effect,
assented to allowing him the entire world as his Empire.

What this resolution is truly about is the elimination of all
sovereignty
but our own. This is about our becoming the Dad of the World. Having
declared ourselves immune from international prosecution for war
crimes, we
have proposed our right to disregard the sovereignty of any country
that,
in our opinion, doesn’t deserve it.

If another country harbors people we regard as terrorists, they have
forfeited their sovereignty. If they cobble together a few of the
weapons
we possess in stupefying abundance, we will cross their borders and
disarm
them by force. Indeed, if they do anything that might eventually,
left to
develop unchecked, threaten American interests, we will stop them as
brutally as we must.

These statements are not merely polemical on my part. They are
American
policy.

On September 20, the Bush Administration released its National
Security
Strategy. You can find it at http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/nss.pdf.
It
speaks plainly of American  “convincing or compelling states to
accept
their sovereign responsibilities.” According to whom?

In other words, Nations of the World, if you don’t make smart
choices, you
will just have to accept that there will be consequences. Now go
clean your
rooms.

Reading this document, which makes ironic use of the word “freedom”
every
third sentence or so, one begins to imagine the United States as the
jut-jawed marshal, patrolling the world’s mean streets, showing the
lonely
courage that is the sinew of virtue.

But as a fellow Wyomingite, Don Cooper, wrote me after my last rant,
the
metaphor is horribly flawed. The Code of the West required proof of
guilt
and threats made bad. The scoundrels actually had to actually raise
hell
before the marshal took up arms against them.

What we are doing in Iraq is more like this, to quote Cooper:

A storekeeper is sweeping the wooden sidewalk in front of his shop
and sees
a rough stranger approaching. He runs across the street to the
Marshal’s
office crying out and waving his broom in the air. The Marshal comes
out,
asking what all the fuss is about. ‘It’s a bad guy ridin’ into town,
Marshal. I can tell he’s up to no good. Got that look about him. Word
is he
is planning to rob the bank, steal a horse, burn down the church and
slap a
barmaid.’ The Marshal is aghast, ‘Well, not in my town he ain’t!’ The
Marshal grabs his shotgun and waits out in front of the saloon. When
the
stranger rides up, the Marshal levels his shotgun and blows him off
his
horse.

This isn’t American. It’s chickenshit.

I feared it would come to this when I realized, ten years ago, that
we were
the last credible superpower left on the planet. But Bill Clinton,
whatever
his manifold weaknesses, knew that if we were were to possess such
towering
power, we would have to wield it with the humility necessary to
create
moral as well as military force.

He might have had a zipper as slick as his tongue, but he was not
facile
when it came to deploying more lethal weapons. Furthermore, Bill
Clinton
knew himself to be an unlikely instrument for Almighty God. I suspect
Clinton secretly hopes there isn’t One.

But George II has been working for the Lord ever since he was
divinely
instructed some years back to stop snorting blow. He knows that God
wants
us to have oil and that the world’s second largest petroleum reserves
are
not to be entrusted to a people whose divine messenger was, to quote
Jerry
Falwell, “a terrorist.”

I don’t think that our new Emperor is an evil man. But he has the
kind of
unquestioning belief in his own virtue that is the richest loam for
growing
evil. He is simply too weak to possess this kind of power without
misusing
it. And now we have removed all the Constitutional impediments that
might
have checked his hubris. We have thrown ourselves on the mercy of a
conscience too clear to be reliable.

PEACE IS WAR, LOVE IS HATE

How has this tragedy happened?

Why have Americans – whom I still believe are, in their essence, a
decent
people – allowed themselves to become complicit with such
monstrosity.

It’s because the terrorists won. Through incredibly deft manipulation
of  our media, encouraging that which is worst in our government,
they have
already inflicted astonishing casualties on the American mind.

Wherever he may be, I hope the ghost of George Orwell is up to date
on
contemporary American politics. If he is, I’ll bet he’s having a
swell time.

I could give you a million examples of what I’m talking about, but
I’ll
tell you a story instead.

A couple of weeks back, I was asked to do a brief live interview on
MSNBC,
the result of a piece I wrote which appears in the current Forbes
ASAP on
the irremediable failure of the American intelligence system. (You
will
find it at http://www.forbes.com/asap/2002/1007/042.html and I will
spam
you the longer version sometime soon).

I had misgivings about doing this, since I think television is very
bad for
you, no matter which side of the camera you’re on. But, since one of
my
many missions is trying inspire an intelligence system that actually
increases political understanding, I figured I would seize whatever
silly
pulpit they briefly provided me.

They put me in a dark little room with a huge camera and a monitor
that was
displaying the current out-going feed from MSNBC. They wired me up
and I
waited for my cue, with nothing to do but watch the tube and try to
keep
myself from hallucinating as a result.

There ensued a series of events that compelled me to watch a stream
of
televised news longer than any I’ve seen since 911. (When it became
obvious, once and for all, that there was no viewing level that
wasn’t
inimical to clear thought.)

Like so many other bad things, it was Bush’s fault. After I was all
wired
up and seated in involuntary viewing mode, I was suddenly preempted
by an
informal press briefing from the Cabinet Room.

There, apparently sitting across the desk from me, was our still
unannointed Monarch. I sat there in speechless awe as he said, among
other
astonishing things, that we might have to attack Iraq in order to
preserve
peace.

That’s right. We must start a war that there might have peace.

When the anchors came back on after the press briefing, they made
absolutely no note of the surreal logic we’d all been exposed to. It
made
sense to them, I guess.

Nor did they make any mention of the the Malaprop Effect, such as
when the
Resident said, “He [Saddam] faces a true threat to the U.S,” and
didn’t
stop to correct himself. (And, indeed, didn’t even appear to notice.)

Then we got back to “the news.”  All of it was straight out of 1984.
Saddam
Hussein has always been the object of the Two Minute Hate. Osama bin
Laden
was never our Emmanuel Goldstein.

The anchor-bimbo actually hissed whenever she uttered Saddam’s name,
and
she did so involuntarily. I remembered the line from Orwell’s novel,
“The
horrible thing about the Two Minute Hate was not that one was obliged
to
act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in.” I
managed not
to.

There was plenty more Newspeak to follow. For example, practically
everyone
who spoke, anchor or civilian, used the phrase “weapons of mass
destruction,” as if they knew what they were talking about. I don’t
think
they do.

What this insidious phrase does is to equate biological, chemical,
and
nuclear weapons in their degrees of lethality. But, as I said before,
there
is a vast difference between a cylinder of poisonous gas and a 5
megaton
thermonuclear bomb. The former is easy to make but very hard to
deliver in
any massively destructive way. The latter is hard to make and easy to
deliver, at least over short distances. But when it arrives, it
doesn’t
just kill a few hundred commuters.

(Actually the latter is not terribly hard to make. I could probably
do it
with a good machine shop and a hundred kilos of weapons grade
Plutonium.
Making weapons grade Plutonium is very hard, but fortunately for the
evil-doers, the U.S. and Russia have already manufactured so much of
this
vile stuff over the last 57 years that Iraq could, if it wanted to,
probably pick it up from the right Russians simply by signing a few
subrosa
oil contracts.)

Never mind that. My point is, we’re not thinking about these things
to that
level of detail. We’re thinking things like “Weapons of mass
destruction,
bad. Iraq, bad. America, good.” Or Eurasia, bad. Oceania, good.

We’re also accepting rather blandly American support for a brutal
military
dictatorship in Pakistan which really *does* have nuclear weapons as
well
as the means to deliver them quite a distance. Why are we not
disarming
Pakistan? Why, for that matter, are we not disarming France? Or,
perish the
thought, ourselves?

I observed with mounting anxiety the way in which the “news” I
watched that
morning was subtly but continuously slanted to support the war.

For example, while reporting a story regarding considerable Labor
Party
unrest over Blair’s support of Bush, one of the anchors casually (and
rhetorically) asked, “But isn’t that just the old Socialist wing of
Labor
coming back to life?” The question hung in the air like a mild mind
toxin
while they rushed off to the next bit of gory footage.

This involved a deranged person who had tried to slit the throat of a
Greyhouse bus driver in California with a pair of scissors, causing
him to
veer off I-5. There were a number of vivid injuries for the cameras
to feed
on. One of the anchors asked about the attacker, a Mexican-American,
“Do we
know if this guy has any terrorist connections?”

Now is a time to think clearly. But the government and the media are
mutilating the very structure of rational thought by attacking the
language. Noam Chomsky was and is right about this.

Even the more reliable media, like, say, the New York Times, are
editing
reality  in a dangerous way.

For example, somewhere between 15,000 and 30,000 people spontaneously
gathered in Central Park on October 6 and it barely made the papers.
What
few stories did appear placed a distorted emphasis that some of the
bullhorn wielders had made anti-semitic remarks.

It’s no wonder that many of us have been brain-washed into an uneasy
stupor. You are what you watch.

But what about the millions of us who are agitated as hell about
this?  I
know lots of different people, and they aren’t all seditious scum
like me.
Hell, I come from Pinedale, Wyoming, the most conservative place in
the
non-Islamic world. And yet about one in a hundred people that I talk
to
approves of what’s going on. Why don’t we matter anymore?

It pains me deeply to say this, but I think that part of the problem
may be
the Internet.

A lot of what’s wrong may be the very sort of thing you’re reading
right
now.

The Internet, has, as expected, provided a global podium to everyone
with
an opinion. Cyberspace has become an infinite set of street corners,
each
with its lonely pamphleteer, howling his rage to a multitude all too
busy
howling their own to listen.

All of our energy goes into things like this BarlowSpam, energies
that
might be better spent in creating traditional blocs like the NRA, or
the
AARP, or some large group capable of either buying Congress or
scaring the
shit out of them. This screed won’t scare an elected official
anywhere. And
it wouldn’t generate enough money to elect or defeat a dogcatcher.

As much as I loathe organizations, we need to organize.

And we’d better start doing it now before the Empire decides it’s
necessary
to declare a National Emergency and make it lethally illegal to
oppose it.
It could get that bad.

Or it might get oddly worse than that. The Empire has discovered
something
important. The best way to deal with us is to ignore us altogether,
as they
did last Thursday. Our calls and letters had no effect whatever.

But those were the acts of citizens. In an Empire, there are no
citizens,
only subjects.

Empires in the past found it expedient to jail, torture, and execute
recalcitrant subjects. This one has learned that you can get a lot
further
with less trouble simply by pretending that the opposition doesn’t
exist.

These arrogant bastards are so persuaded of their sublime duties to
God and
Exxon that they no longer need concern themselves with public outrage
or
even, I shudder to say, elections.

Let us prove them wrong. We must make ourselves painfully visible to
them.

OME TOGETHER WHEREVER, OCTOBER 26, 11:00 AM.

What is to be done?

Well, for a start, I recommend that wherever you are in the world,
you
should pick an arbitrary public location in your area, call or e-mail
everyone you know who feels as you do about this madness, and ask
them to
meet there at 11:00 am on Saturday, October 26.

Ask them also to call or e-mail everyone *they* know with the same
message.
Thanks to what my friend Howard Rheingold calls “smart mobs,” a lot
of
people can gather very quickly this way. The microwave threads
between cell
phones can be like formic acid for ants. Make an instant electronic
hive of
humanity.

Be very peaceable and difficult to provoke, but don’t worry about
getting a
permit. If no one’s in charge, there’s no one to hold accountable.

In Washington, DC and San Francisco, those locations have already
been
chosen. They are:

In DC –

Constitution Gardens adjacent to the
Vietnam Veterans War Memorial
21st St. & Constitution Ave. NW

In San Francisco –

Justin Herman Plaza
Market and Embarcadero

Unfortunately, there is a problem. And, as someone who went through
this in
the 60’s, it’s one I’m very familiar with.

The organization that nominated these two locations, International
A.N.S.W.E.R.

(Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), is an honest-to-god Communist
front.
I’m not kidding. It is to the left of Mao. It is also virulently
anti-semitic, and appears to be saddling up the wild horse of war
opposition to pursue a lot of causes most you probably don’t support,
like
Shining Path in Peru.

It is so radical that I almost wonder if it isn’t a set of agents
provocateurs created by the Empire to discredit the whole peace
movement.

I also know that, after the poem I asked you all to read aloud, many
of you
concluded that I was also of this general political slant. But I am
not a
leftist propagandist. Hell, I was still a Republican until George II
forced
me to declare myself the obvious, an Independent.

I didn’t write that poem. Had I done so, it certainly would have
included
an aeon of silence for the 50 million killed by Communism under
Stalin and
Mao, a millennium of silence for the many millions of Jews
slaughtered by
everyone from Goliath and his Philistines to Hezbolleh. I would have
mentioned the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, the Hutus and
the
Tutsis. The poem was clearly leftist propaganda. Still, I felt it
made a
start on it. We could mourn the remaining blanks ourselves.

I got a lot of angry mail back regarding precisely these kinds of
omissions
and the rote socialism of its rhetoric.

I am very concerned that people will not engage in these gatherings,
or
that they will be easily misinterpreted, once they perceive these
same
qualities in A.N.S.W.E.R.

But I say it doesn’t matter who names the gathering point. Wherever
we
normally reside in the political spectrum, this is not about the left
wing
or the right wing. It’s about how to stop these wing-nuts from
turning the
world into a military playground for the Fortune 500. It’s not about
ideology. It’s about human decency and common sense. The important
thing is
that we all get together in such numbers that the ideologues of
A.N.S.W.E.R. will be but a small part of something so big that
neither the
media nor the Empire can ignore us.

I also recommend against speeches, though I suspect they are
unavoidable in
Washington and San Francisco. The less said the better. What do we
need to
say? We know how we feel. We don’t need to be told.

So, even though I have grave misgivings about the organizers of the
gatherings in DC and San Francisco, we can come together in such
overwhelming diversity that there can be no party line aside from a
love of
peace, liberty, and the right of all nations to determine their
destinies
without American imposition.

The second thing I recommend we all do is vote. I know many of you
gave up
on this a long time ago, for which dereliction of citizen’s duty you
are
getting exactly the government you deserve. But there’s still time.
Many
states permit registration right down to the wire.

I particularly hope you will vote heavily against everyone who
supported
this treasonous resolution, no matter how enlightened they appeared
before.
Right now, a weakling with good intentions is worse than an outright
Facist.

They didn’t listen to your phone calls or letters. Let them now hear
your
silent voice speaking from the voting booth.

You should also organize on behalf of everyone who had the courage to
resist it. Give money and time to their campaigns. Write letters to
their
local newspapers, expressing your support for them and praising them
for
their courage on behalf of the Constitution.

Right now, I agree absolutely with George Bush on one thing. One is
either
with him or against him. I am against him. As Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe,
and Lincoln would have been.

And if that makes me a terrorist, I am proud to be one.

Be Free,

Barlow

DRUG TESTS OF PREGNANT WOMEN RULED ILLEGAL SEARCH

Supreme Court: Results given to police violate Fourth
Amendment

Washington-Reinforcing the Constitution’s ban on
unreasonable searches, the Supreme Court ruled
yesterday that a South Carolina public hospital
violated the rights of pregnant women when it gave
police their drug test results without their explicit
permission.

The justices ruled 6-3 that while the intent of the
testing program was laudable-to prevent women from
harming their fetuses by using crack cocaine -it ran
afoul of the Fourth Amendment’s requirement that
consent or court-issued search warrants are necessary
before test information is shared with law enforcement
authorities.  Some of the women who tested positive
were arrested if they refused to enter a drug
treatment program.  At least one woman was arrested in
her hospital bed after giving birth.

“It’s a very, very important decision in protecting
the right to privacy of all Americans,” said Priscilla
Smith, a lawyer for the Center for Reproductive Law
and Policy, a nonprofit group that represented the 10
women who brought the suit, seeking monetary damages
from the hospital.  “It reaffirms that pregnant women
have that same right to a confidential relationship
with their doctors.”

“The court put public health ahead of drug
enforcement,” added Kevin Zeese, president of Common
Sense for Drug Policy, a nonprofit advocacy group, who
contended the Charleston program deterred poor
pregnant women from going to the clinic.

In the court’s majority opinion, Justice John Paul
Stevens wrote that while the hospital’s goal may have
been to get women into drug treatment programs and to
protect their fetuses, “the immediate objective of the
searches was to generate evidence for law enforcement
purposes …”

When hospitals gather evidence “for the specific
purpose of incriminating those patients, they have a
special obligation to make sure that the patients are
fully informed about their constitutional rights,”
Stevens said.

The justices sent the case back to a lower court to
determine whether the women, in signing the hospital’s
consent forms, had understood that the results of the
drug tests might be given to the police.

South Carolina Attorney General Charles Condon, who as
a local prosecutor in Charleston began the testing
program, said, “There is no right of a mother to
jeopardize the health and safety of an unborn child
through her own drug abuse.”

Condon developed the policy in 1989 with officials at
the Medical University of South Carolina, a Charleston
hospital that treats indigent patients.  The women who
tested positive for drugs after submitting urine
samples were subject to arrest under the state’s
child-endangerment law.

Stevens’ opinion was joined by Justices Sandra Day
O’Connor, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and
Stephen Breyer.  Justice Anthony Kennedy filed a
separate opinion also concluding such tests are
unlawful.

Dissenting were Chief Justice William Rehnquist and
Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.  Writing
for the three, Scalia said doctors are supposed to
have patients’ welfare in mind, and “that they have in
mind in addition the provision of evidence to the
police should make no difference.”

In previous cases, the high court has permitted drug
testing without a warrant or suspicion of individual
wrongdoing when the government can demonstrate a
“special need”-such as preventing drug use by public
high school students or by railroad workers.  But drug
test results in those cases weren’t given to police.

“The invasion of privacy in this case is far more
substantial than in those cases,” Stevens wrote,
noting that patients normally expect medical test
results to be kept private.

In other opinions yesterday, the court:

Ruled 5-4 that employers can force workers to take
job-related disputes to arbitration rather than to
court.  The court’s conservative majority held that
employers can use a 1925 federal law to enforce the
arbitration agreements many workers sign when they
take jobs.  The case involved a gay former electronics
salesman in California who sued his employer, Circuit
City Stores, charging harassment.  While workers can
still challenge arbitration agreements, the ruling
strengthens employers’ hands while giving employees
fewer options to contend they were treated unfairly.

Ruled 7-2 that state laws generally cannot divert a
deceased person’s employee benefits to someone other
than the designated beneficiary.  In overturning a
Washington state law, the court ruled in favor of an
ex-wife of a man who died without removing her as the
beneficiary of his employer-provided insurance and
pension.  His children from a previous marriage sued,
saying they were entitled to the benefits.  But the
opinion said a federal law, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, pre-empts state law.

In order for 18-mc to enter clinical trials in humans Glick needs to have some backer who is giving him funding. Which is the same thing Mash needs with noribogaine. Between the two of them she’s the one who is probably more likely to obtain it and for all we know is already testing noribogaine with humans. Patrick and John Pablo would have the answers to that one and I’m sure neither will give a answer. Not only because they don’t want to, but I’m sure talking about it would get them sued and fired. Were I to guess what will happen by reading what monographs have been published to date, which is to say nearly none. Mash will take as much of the St. Kitts data as she can and focus all of it on noribogaine. Having a patent on nor and nothing to gain financially by ibogaine itself, I’d be surprised to see it play out in any other way. If I had the patent this is exactly the same thing I’d do. Detoxing 400, 500 I don’t know the number by now, patients should result in a mountain
of data. But there is nearly nothing being published.

THERAPIES: FOR ADDICTION, A CHANGE OF VENUE

A new drug and changes in federal regulations should help move
treatment of heroin addiction out of
methadone centers and into doctors’ offices, the author of an article
being published today in The
Annals of Internal Medicine says.

Fewer than a quarter of the nation’s estimated 800,000 heroin addicts
are believed to receive treatment,
according to the article by Dr.  David A.  Fiellin of the Yale School
of Medicine.  Many treatment
centers have long waiting lists, and many addicts, especially those
still with jobs and families, wish to
avoid the stigma associated with drug treatment centers, Dr.  Fiellin
said in an interview.

Five years ago, a federal panel concluded that treatment with an
opioid agonist – a drug like
methadone that undercuts the euphoric effort without bringing on
withdrawal symptoms – could be
effective when combined with counseling.  Since then, efforts have
been made to make such care more
accessible, Dr.  Fiellin said.

He said the biggest step was the approval last week by the Food and
Drug Administration of a new
partial agonist, buprenorphine, which studies have shown to be almost
as effective in preventing
relapse as methadone.

Buprenorphine has some clear advantages, Dr.  Fiellin said.  It is
less mood-altering, and when
combined with an opioid blocker it is harder to abuse.  That has let
it qualify for a less restrictive
category of controlled substances, he said, opening it to office use
by trained physicians.  “Our
expectation is that it will increase access to treatment for a large
population of patients,” he added.

Other changes in federal regulations are beginning to make it
possible for physicians working in
partnership with drug programs to treat stable methadone patients in
regular medical offices.

Dr.  Fiellin said studies had shown that office treatment was as
effective as methadone clinics for stable
patients and was more satisfying.  They “felt that they were finally
being recognized for their stability,
by being able to receive their treatment in a more medical setting,” he said.

Subject: [ibogaine] The Dutch government collapsed
Date: October 16, 2002 at 4:58:34 PM EDT
To: ibogaine@mindvox.com
Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (Oct. 16) –  The Dutch government collapsed on
Wednesday over a ministerial feud between followers of murdered populist Pim
Fortuyn, paving the way for elections that could relegate his chaotic party
to obscurity.

The coalition of Christian Democrats (CDA), VVD Liberals and the Pim Fortuyn
List (LPF) crumbled after less than 100 days in office, the shortest-lived
Dutch government since World War Two.

The collapse sparked fears a lame-duck caretaker cabinet would be forced to
delay backing for the European Union’s eastward enlargement at a key Brussels
summit next week until a new government is installed in The Hague after fresh
elections.

But a Dutch government spokesman indicated the road to EU expansion would be
unaffected once a caretaker government had secured parliamentary backing for
the cabinet position.

A minority government could also be formed to stave off further instability.

The government’s demise was precipitated by the resignation earlier on
Wednesday of LPF Deputy Prime Minister Eduard Bomhoff and Economics Minister
Herman Heinsbroek, whose bitter differences have characterized their divided
party.

”There is no basis for further fruitful and sustainable cooperation within
the coalition,” CDA Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende told parliament
before tendering the cabinet’s resignation to Queen Beatrix.

The LPF and VVD each had four ministers in the 14-seat cabinet formed in July.

Polls show the party of shaven-headed gay maverick Fortuyn — who was gunned
down only days before May elections — has hemorrhaged support since it swept
into parliament and could face a drubbing in early elections expected within
three months.

A new opinion poll on Wednesday showed the LPF could slump from 26 seats to
four in a new election, with the VVD the biggest beneficiary as it climbed to
31 seats from its current 24. The CDA was seen adding six seats to its
current 43.

That would give the CDA and VVD a comfortable parliamentary majority between
them, with 80 of the lower house’s 150 seats.

”I think voters have begun to regret the votes they cast (for the LPF),”
said VVD leader Gerrit Zalm. ”This shows how hard it is to work with a party
that is constantly quarreling.”

FUNERAL PYRE

Political experts said the coalition — which pledged to crack down on crime
and immigration and improve public services when it took office in July —
failed to overcome its internal difficulties to fulfill its ambitious
promises.

”Nothing got off the ground. I have the feeling I don’t know my own country
any more,” said Henk Kummeling, a law professor at Utrecht University.

The LPF has struggled to fill the vacuum left after Fortuyn was shot dead
outside a radio station near Amsterdam. His death prompted a string of power
struggles and confusion over party leadership.

”The LPF is brilliant at carrying wood to its own funeral pyre and sometimes
even provides the matches,” LPF leader Mat Herben told parliament in The
Hague after a dramatic day in the Dutch political capital.

A bitter personal feud between LPF ministers Bomhoff and Heinsbroek had been
simmering for weeks.

Heinsbroek, a swashbuckling entrepreneur with designer stubble, had been at
loggerheads with the more conservative Bomhoff over the direction and
leadership of the LPF since the two joined Balkenende’s cabinet in July.

”There was an incompatibility of personalities between me and Bomhoff,”
Heinsbroek told a news conference, saying he had resigned ”with pain in my
heart.”

”To my great regret, the developments of the last few days have increasingly
created a situation in which it is impossible to work,” Bomhoff for his part
told reporters in The Hague.

The conflict-riven party returned Mat Herben as its leader on Wednesday —
just before the cabinet decisively fell — only months after he was forced to
step aside to make way for a former motoring magazine editor, Harry
Wijnschenk.

Herben had taken over the reins of the LPF after Fortuyn’s death and had
guided the party into coalition.

EU ENLARGEMENT

These are turbulent times for traditionally tranquil Dutch politics. The last
government resigned en masse in April in delayed atonement for the
Netherlands’ role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia.

The coalition had also struggled to overcome a deep rift over whether to
support proposals for 10 countries to join the European Union in 2004.

The EU executive said last week that former communist east European states
such as Poland and Hungary were ready to wrap up accession talks in December
and join in 2004.

The foreign ministry spokesman said the Netherlands would make its position
clear at next week’s Brussels summit after the current government — or a
caretaker administration — had secured majority approval in parliament on
its position.

Publicly, EU leaders voiced confidence that the Netherlands would not block
enlargement.

Charles Halloran
Golisano for Governor
1 Fishers Road
Pittsford, N.Y. 14534

Sir:

Regarding the matter I mentioned in our brief phone conversation of
last Sunday, I note that Tom Golisano is also a proponent of
treatment instead of incarceration for drug addicts. Like most
Americans, however, he is probably not aware that a major
breakthrough in the treatment of drug dependency has occured at
Albany Medical College, where Dr. Stanley Glick has patented a safer
form of  Ibogaine called 18-MC.

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.
In short, the only reason there’s currently a shortage of treatment
beds for addicts is that we’re not using the latest technology to cut
the length of inpatient treatment.

We feel that Tom’s courageous stands regarding medical marijuana and
the Rockefeller drug laws deserve support. Both because he is a
proponent of treatment, and to immunize the campaign against the
inevitable counter-charges that these positions somehow foster drugs
and addiction, we think a campaign appearance at Stan Glick’s lab in
Albany would be a logical extension of his commitment to bring new
solutions–not to mention the jobs and millions of dollars of
development money involved–to the people of New York.

Yours Truly,

Dana Beal/co-Founder, CURES not WARS

approved, neurochemistry dysregulato
r, it is very likely that you will
end up behind bars.  At the same time, the government continues to
peddle Alcohol to the masses, which kills more people than all drugs
combined.

Mr. Hutchinson may well have demolished the straw man he set up, but he
cannot avoid the documented evidence which clearly indicates that U.S.
prisons are “filled” with people convicted of drug related offenses, and
that those convicted for “simple possession” account for 32% or greater
of all drug related incarcerations. The message is loud and clear…if
you use or possess illegal drugs, you are looked at in almost the same
manner as a “Kingpin,” that is involved in running an ongoing criminal
organReceived: from hnncsb-MTA by mail.hnncsb.ization comprised of 5 or more people.

In his opening arguments, Mr. Hutchinson stated that he is fighting to
“uphold the…principles of liberty and freedom” in a post 9/11 world.
Perhaps it is due, in part, to these sorts of ideas on the concepts of
liberty and freedom that the United States currently incarcerates more
people than Communist China…that well known bulwark of Democracy.

If you missed that, think about that sentence again…THE UNITED STATES
INCARCERATES MORE PEOPLE THAN COMMUNIST CHINA…or any other nation on the
earth.

I am more afraid of those who would take away our freedoms than I am of
terrorists who would take my life.
I am more afraid of those who would protect me from myself than I am of
an addict on the street corner.
I am more afraid that I will awake one morning to find the Mother of
Liberty bowed low upon the water, not by an act of terrorism, but out of
grief due to the death of freedom.

Mr. Hutchinson, “Let my people go.”

Hi, Alan,XXXX,everyone,
Could you please post this onto all list/s you
think appropiate, many thanks XXX.

Conference

Sunday 27 October 2002

at University of London Union
Malet Street, London WC1

As someone interested in the treatment of drug abuse you will find this
conference of major importance.

Last week another doctor was struck off the medical register for daring to
treat drug addicts.

Nearly half the cases coming up at the GMC relate to doctors trying to help
drug addicts, particularly those that cannot cope with treatment from NHS
clinics.

The Home Office, GMC and Consultants favoured by the establishment are
behind this. The effect is that people established on treatment are finding
themselves being abandoned without treatment and rather than suffer in
hospital clinics are finding themselves being pushed down the line back on
to street drugs.

Drug Dealers and  the financial institutions that launder drugs money are
the only people to benefit.

Field Fisher Waterhouse, the GMC solicitors, have set up a formidable
machinery to investigate and destroy doctors.

Why is the GMC doing this?
Who is behind this witch-hunt?
Is this inquisition lawful?
Dirty tricks??

Speakers will include Dr John Marks, Dr Ann Dally, Professor Emeritus
Arnold
Trebach and Dr James Caveney Sharp. (Unfortunately we have not so far found
a politician who is able to speak).

If you are concerned and want to attend please reply to:
jcs@worldhealth-ol.com

Sorry but Brett said this better than I could have. I was making a joke
I did not mean to offend any women reading this list and I will be more
PC or thoughtful in the future. I replied with a apology because Jane
explained it in a reasonable way that made me think and go maybe she’s
right and I don’t need to do that.

Your messages as Preston said on drugwar usually add about as much to
the conversation as farts, you make pithy announcements from on up high
about how everyone should act and contribute nothing of interest to any
of the forums you are on that I also read. Those being this list and
Drugwar.

Unsubscribing from the list is a hidden IQ test. If you can’t read the
headers or the 20 posts that people have made explaining how to do it
then you’ve failed.

This message isn’t written about or to women in general, it’s all for
Joatammo. And whatever the reply I won’t continue it outside of private
email since being even more mature I understand it doesn’t add anything
to the ibogaine list. Sorry but any list I’ve ever been on that has
high traffic always goes like this. It’s either a lot of people talking
sometime off topic, or it’s dead and there are 5 new messages a week if
that.

Well said. I think its fairly apparent that one of the major obstacles in
defeating the drug war is all the squabbling and bickering amoung the
different reform factions. If we ever want to make a real difference, we
have to be working together..

Send a blank email to ibogaine-unsubscribe@mindvox.com. You might get some
long and complicated message back which amounts to the server trying to
verify that your address is valid. If you do, just hit reply and send that
message back to. I’ve never unsubscribed so I’m not sure if you’ll get that
or not. So just send the blank email, and if anything comes, just hit reply
and send whatever it is back.

Thank you Howard, my exact sentiments.  We need to stick to the subject at hand, being the drug war and Ibogaine.  IMO, there are many who are troublemakers  and don’t stick to the agenda.  I give the respect that I receive, and expect that out of everyone.

Lets stick to the point, tell a joke now and again, and above all stick together in this drug war that has been put on us.

prisons are “filled” with people convicted of drug-related offenses, and
that th
ose convicted for “simple possession” account for 32% or greater
of all drug-related incarcerations.

In his opening arguments, Mr. Hutchinson stated that he is fighting to
“uphold the…principles of liberty and freedom” in a post-9/11 world.
Perhaps it is due, in part, to these sorts of ideas on the concepts of
liberty and freedom that the United States currently incarcerates more
people than Communist China…that well-known bulwark of Democracy.

If you missed that, think about that sentence again…THE UNITED STATES
INCARCERATES MORE PEOPLE THAN COMMUNIST CHINA…or any other nation on the
earth.

I am more afraid of those who would take away our freedoms than I aReceived: from hnncsb-MTA by mail.hnncsb.m of
terrorists who would take my life.
I am more afraid of those who would protect me from myself than I am of
an addict on the street corner.
I am more afraid that I will awake one morning to find the Mother of
Liberty bowed low upon the water, not by an act of terrorism, but out of
grief for the death of freedom.

Campbell privacy case thrown out

Claire Cozens and Dan Milmo
Monday October 14, 2002

Naomi Campbell was dealt a body blow today after the Daily Mirror succeeded
in its appeal against a high court ruling over reports about her drug
addiction, leaving her with a £750,000 bill in costs.
Three appeal court judges today upheld the Mirror’s challenge to a high
court ruling in favour of Naomi Campbell, saying it was in the public
interest that readers knew the truth about the model who had lied about her
drug use.
Delivering his judgment at the court of appeal today, Master of the Rolls
Lord Phillips said the newspaper’s February 2001 report about the model’s
drug addiction was justified.
He said the appeal raised the issue of how far the law provided protection
against the media publishing details of an individual’s private life.
Describing Ms Campbell as an internationally famous fashion model, Lord
Phillips said she courted rather than shunned publicity and had gone out of
her way to tell the media that in contrast to other models, she did not take
drugs, stimulants or tranquillisers.
“This was untrue; she had, in fact, become addicted to drugs,” he said.

http://www.apple.com/webobjects/

WebObjects is beautiful. But object oriented programming is a fetish that looks good in theory but doesn’t work that way in reality. This is where a lot of the bitching started. In theory reusable code and data encapsulation are major improvements over using perl, shellscripts, php, what have you.

In reality you end up with what Mindvox has, a project that has stretched a timeline from a few months, to a year and a half of development. Most sane people get to month #2 realize they can do the whole thing in a inelegant way using perl in about 2 weeks and throw it in the trash. This includes Apple who gave up on using their own technology and went with php for their message bases. Because its there, it works, its free, its finished in a few days.

The Mindvox crew were mentally ill enough to stick with it. They also have the first (mostly) working conferencing system running WO.

WO is nonstandard, I’ve worked with it before for airlines who use it. Three years ago WebObjects cost $120,000, last year it went to $58,000, 6 months ago they priced it at $700 because they want people to start using it and php is killing it because it’s good enough, free, has a big community working on it.

The session IDs from what I remember are instances of the Mindvox application layer. For WO to run I think Solaris has to load a Mach overlay at system boot because when it’s changing session IDs like that, it’s using lightweight processes and threading. Your actual id is an encapsulated instance of code, you’re an object moving through the Mindvox framework. It’s hard to explain and I don’t work with any of it that often, it’s very elegent but making it work is a biggg headache. Mindvox the app is launched however many times they decide is the limit which is load balanced across machines for cpu, disk, bandwidth, etc, but any number of objects move through each instance of the app. It doesn’t launch 100 copies of Mindvox when 100 people use it. There are probably 100 people at a time using 4 or 5 instances of the app. The messages, the html that it renders, are other objects moving through the framework.

It’s great technology but non standard, does not have industry acceptance, market share, requires a insanely steep learning curve where you have to learn everything over from scratch which is not realistic when you’re trying to keep up with technologies that are industry standard and will get you hired. It’s using Objective-C and JAVA which has to be cross-compiled to C++, everything is nonstandard and works differently from all other tech you are used to.

It’s what Apple is all about, fetish tech for creative people on drugs who don’t care about reality.

I will give more thought to what I post and how I’m saying it, to the
ibogaine list at least. You answered nicely, I understood your
explanation and maybe what’s not a problem on some other parts of
mindvox is not appropriate here.

If I offended anyone on this list I didn’t mean to, I really was only
posting a compliment to Patrick and baked at the same time. What better
compliment? 🙂

I think I am going to move over to hushmail soon, yahoo really sucks
and I’m sick of it after only 2 months of having a stupid mailbox here.

I’m going to go post on crashtestdummies but Patrick you rock. I’ve
been reading the old messages from Mindvox for the whole weekend, you
people finally did it. You have it out of alpha 🙂 (string of
obscenities and a lot of exclamation points 🙂

Hell Frozen Over has frozen over. I do not believe it. After watching
it eat itself and explode for the last 6 months, it works. Mindvox is
opening! All of you rock. And I mean that not just because I want you
to hire me! 🙂

Has anyone got the following data handy :

2) what year did it become outlawed in switzerland and belgium

are they the only three countries where it is ilegal to possess ibogaine?

just writing an article for andrias magazine “the users voice” – and i keep thinking it was the 1971 psychoactive scheduling but that seems too late and the 66 or was it 65 outlawing of other psychedelics seems too early.

hopefully, as its 3:15 am here in the UK – i can go to bed and those of u hours behind on the timeline can provide an answer.

this ibogaine induced lack of sleep is great – ive got more done in the last two weeks than the last twelve years……

thanks

liver. Approximately 5 – 10 % of the population lacks the gene needed to
produce this enzyme, although that statistic varies somewhat with
ethnicity, i believe. There are also a number of drugs that are
metabolised by the same enzyme, including neuroleptics (anti-psychotics),
beta-blockers, tricyclic anti-depressants, and opioids.

hope this helps

Technology

MindVox is powered by an 8.0-liter V-13 engine. It features dual orgone injectors and a Vril supercharger, generating nearly 1.5 times infinite Horsepower (@ 9000rpm). It is housed in a floating sphere, which makes use of the latest anti-gravity technology recovered from crashed UFOs. The VoxSphere is composed of ultra-lightweight composite materials designed to absorb radio energy, subpoenas, arrest warrants, and negatively-charged vibrational fields.

MindVox is fueled by a precise combination of phenethylamines, tryptamines, and beta-carbolines. On a good day it can achieve superluminal velocity using quantum electronics, wishful thinking, and the souls of its enemies. Conversely, on a bad day it may just sit in a dark room bangin’ up narcotic analgesics and burning holes in the furniture as it drops lit cigarettes all over everything while nodding out.

MindVox resonates with the harmonics of all thoughtscapes, headspaces, and dimensions. It has been online since the Dawn of Time and will spin through the tapestry of shared consensual hallucinations for All Eternity. In certain locations MindVox may appear to experience cosmic turbulence and flicker out of existence, fading like a mirage. Since time is nonlinear — time, in fact, looks like an endlessly interlocking series of spirals fragmenting inwards and outward simultaneously — this phenomenon is illusory and transient; merely indicating MindVox is Temporarily Unavailable for a few minutes, decades, or lifetimes.

MindVox runs an operating system so advanced it is incompatible with itself, but fully error-correcting. It utilizes spectrophotometric determination to weed out irregular cell morphology and is capable of compiling against the functions of an angle of incidence using a sub-femtosecond measurement of transmission delay times, in order to obtain a photonic bandgap. This will cause MindVox to drop to monitor — with or without an NMI switch — allowing you to insert a disk containing DOS 3.3, and use any hex editor to alter the DNA.

All is well. Try not to panic. Things will be EVEN BETTER than fine; the angels WANT you to be Baker-acted — no wait, wrong conversation.

MindVox is the Greatest Thing that has Ever Existed

What i cannot work out is HOW once the buprenorphine
is combined with
naloxone that has activity on all three receptor
sites doesnt cancel out the
partial agonist effects of subutex.

Paul,

I believe the naloxone was added to prevent abuse
(injecting) and at the levels orally taken will have
no (or little) effect on the buprenorphine. It would
seem the naltrexone also might be added to prevent
(block) abuse of other opiate agnoists, might be a
real kicker (pun) if an active opiate addict got their
hands on some. It is not use on actively addicted
opiate (agonist) addicts, use plain bup for that, I
would guestimate till the original opiate is out of
their system.

Trials have been taking place in the UK in the last couple of years at least to my knowledge and a lot longer in France.
I cannot presently remember which pharmacutical company is behind subutex, but there was a huge push over here, complete with hilarious glossy leaflets of a strung out addict on page one and as one turned the pages and learned more about the subutex,the subsequent strung out addict “miraculously” started to look better and better with each picture 😉 ..until at the end, he could have modelled for Gap.
From the “official” data i saw about the french experience, addicts seem to tolerate it well.(but we all know that data can be cooked in so many ways)
I think the neuro-pharmacology of buprenorphine is what appeals to the
treatment “specialists” – that it acts as an agonist for alpha and kappa opiate receptor sites but is an antagonist for the mu site (or is it a mu abd alpha agonist/kappa antagonist-heads a bit fuzzy – im sure someone will correct me if im wrong)
so, anyway, there is less chance of ODing with subutex because of the partial antagonist activity – whilst affording some relief due to its partial agonist activity.
I havent personally done it,so im not speaking from experience but the clinic round our way are touting it as the great white hope – of the (now) former network of users i was plugged into, three of them tried it.
And heres where it CANNOT be taken if opiates are still actively metabolising because of its antagonist effect – all 3 suprisingly did
and went into immediate withdrawal until the blocker effect diminished.
On subsequent occasions I know that one of em did do the full treatment and it did hold him until the dose got cut down, starting at 20mg and going down to 1mg – at which point he waited till the blocker effect stopped and scored.
I had no inkling about suboxone – and i cannot work the neurochemistry out – im thinking surely the naloxone which generates antagonism on all three receptor sites cancels out the agonist effect of the buprennorphine
-obviously i am wrong and should really go and read the article brett provided…
I did do that and i still cannot work it out – perhaps those clued up on the chemistry can tell me.

on one hand the FDA seem to be saying that a treatment of subutex followed by suboxone affords relief from opiate withdrawal and on the other hand, and i quote :

“The most common reported side effect of subutex and subuxone include cold or flu like symptoms,headaches,sweating,sleeping difficulties,nausea,moodswings” –

now it doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out what the FDA are describing are opiate withdrawal symptoms and yet they are marketing the product as alliviating withdrawals – is this some kinda curious double speak – or is there something i am not getting.

OK – I can understand that the SUBUTEX affords some relief from withdrawals – AFTER – the heroin and methadone have done their metabolizing – BEFORE that it acts as a partial antagonist and seeing the state of the guys who took subutex a couple of hours after heroin
i can testify to this.

What i cannot work out is HOW once the buprenorphine is combined with naloxone that has activity on all three receptor sites doesnt cancel out the partial agonist effects of subutex.

I once did naloxone as part of a methadone/heroin detox and its the same as naltrexone – bang!-in minutes you are at the worst part of your turkey – never ever again,fucking ever.

Look…  Alla youz can beat nomenclature, details, and theory, into
the
dust, then sift through it sideways searching for <whatever>.  But
it’s
pretty simple:

Yes, to the best of my knowledge at this point in time, it is not
possible
to accurately and exactly test liver function without a biopsy.
However,
this is going off on a tangent.  If you run the standard, simple
blood
tests which include a liver panel, and nothing comes up really wacked,
then you are more or less — probably — okay.

This isn’t the be all, end all, of testing, because it’s a really
good
idea to test for the prescence of a gene (CYP2D6 [Cytochrome p450
2D6])
for the protein which metabolizes ibogaine.  There is a certain percentage
of the population which does NOT have the wildtype gene.

Ibogaine can be metabolized without it, usually the answer is a much
lower
dose.  However.  If someone has Hep C — in an active/uncontrolled
state,
lacks this gene (how you would go about testing for it in other parts
of
the world, I do not know…  I just know what happens here.  It should
not
be impossible.), you dose ’em with a “low” dose of ibogaine to be
safe …
the end result can still be a dead body, because the ibogaine isn’t
being
metabolized/metabolized fast enough, and then you wind up with shit
like
Q-T prolongation and torsades.

And if you wind up with these situations in an environment where
there
isn’t anyone present that knows how to prevent them from dropping
dead.
Presto, you gots a dead body.

In short, lots of super-bad THINGS can happen.

None of these are Great Secrets.  All this shit has been published
already.

– – – – – – – – –

To summarize:  You need roughly half your liver still going.  (presuming
this is the problem, and your heart is “okay” and nothing else is
really
wacked the fuck out.)

– – – – – – – – –

Now…  Here’s the great big grey area…

What’s “good enough” … and how do you define that.

Medicine isn’t very exact, there are an awful lot of very healthy
people
who drop dead for all sorts of reasons — other than being shot,
OD’ing,
or getting hit by a truck — and there are an equal or greater number
of
people who have a Fucking Towering Mountain of shit wrong with them,
who
really should have dropped dead decades ago, and they keep right
on
living.  <shrug>

To drop into the subjective: when I wanted to dose with ibogaine,
I lied
about every fucking thing imaginable, regarding what I was or was
not
taking, and the doses I was on, because I was afraid nobody would
even
attempt to detox me from all that shit (200mg methadone + roughly
2
grams of heroin + 12mg xanax, on an average day, to just get “normal”).

All my tests are within “normal” ranges, whether due to karma, luck,
genetics, or simply because I’m still indestructible and not old
enough to
have suffered direct physical consequences from all the stupid shit
I’ve
done to myself.

However…  Were my tests NOT normal.  Would I have shrugged, said,
“oh
well, I can’t do this,” and moved on to another possible treatment?
FUCK
NO.  Tried ’em all, none worked, this is what I WANT/NEED.  I do
not give
a fuck what your inclusion/exclusion criteria is, for me this is
my life,
I am on a kamikaze run, and if it kills me, who gives a shit, it’s
not
like I’m living now anyway; just my time to go.  Oh well.

What I’m saying is; if my tests were in any way abnormal, I would
have
simply engaged in some creative art, printed up some Just Super Fine
Perfect results, and if you wanted to receive those results from
a doctor
or a lab; well hey, no problem, I will access the switch that their
phones
are on, and for that entire afternoon or day, every single call going
into
or out of those offices, will go to ME instead.  You’re not gonna
stop me,
I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid, I need this, I don’t care what
you
want or don’t want.

And, I’d posit there are a whole lot of people who would do same,
or
something similar.

This is called desperation.  <see also: drug dependence>

To conclude this rambling in some cohesive manner: I absolutely think
people who are in the “grey area” should have the chance to get their
lives back.  However, there are a whole lot of variables there to
deal
with…  I would strongly suggest that SOMEONE who knows what to
do in the
event of a medical emergency, is present, when you’re dosing anybody
who
fits this criteria…  If they had a few pieces of useful equipment
onhand, this really wouldn’t hurt either.

Because if they drop dead, oh well, their problems are over, better
luck
in your next life.  But yours have just begun.  You now have a dead
body,
and depending on what part of the world you’re in, it’s quite possible
you
will face murder or manslaughter charges — no matter how good your
intentions were.

– – – – – – – – –

Having said all that, what would I personally do…  I would have
at the

may be
stupid, but I’m not dead, or in prison, and every single time the
alarms
went off in my head really loud, despite no other evidence to support
my
feelings…  I have been extremely fucking grateful I listened, “hey
Patrick, it is TIME to bail, and get the fuck out of this situation/place
‘cuz something really bad is right on the horizon, and approaching
very
rapidly.”

Beyond that, it’s very hard to say…  Is this person all fucked
up and
acting weird because they’re smoking crack, going through withdrawal,
or because there’s something seriously wrong with them…  Getting
that
answer without medical testing borders on the impossible.

Because, as I may have mentioned…  People who are desperate, tend

an awful lot.  Especially when they have very little left to lose.

for
Hep C simply means that their immune system has reacted to it and
they have
an antibody coded for the virus.  It does not state whether the person’s

without further determination of their liver’s health is like playing
russian roulette where you have anywhere from 1-3 bullet(s) in a

that holds 6 statistically depending on the overall population.
Hence there
is a distinct possibility that an OD on ibogaine can occur and if
the person
has background respiratory or heart problems then it lead to very
serious
consequences.  Also, lack of the ability to metabolize ibogaine to
noribogaine may significantly deter the opiate detoxifying as well
as
serotonergic component of the treatment…Oh well, just a thought!

Can anyone clarify for everyone what exactly the dangers are with
ibogaine
consumption by those with Hep C? People ask me all the time and
I have
never
been very clear. I know treatment providers who treat people with
Hep C,
and
I have done once with someone whose count was under control and

But does anyone have any serious safety guidelines on this.

We’re also bored, unemployed and I have about 3 years left before I have to go get a job or start collecting welfare. 6 years if I want to live cheap. I don’t want to live cheap, I don’t get out of bed in the afternoon for less than $175K a year.

If you’re going to hire all of us you need to be able to make payroll. We just want to help you in that direction.

I understand PTT was a big misunderstanding. If only they’d given you 10 more million it would have been the greatest piece of software that ever was. I believe that.

So start dealing with reality. You have to hire all of us in less than 3 years. Get moving. We all want you to be rich again soon, only because we care about you.

Mundo,

There is more than 1 way to metabolize ibogaine to
nor-ibogaine, the primary one is via CYP2D6. I suppose
there is a test for it but don’t know of anyone
pre-testing (maybe Mash does) for CYP2D6 as part of
protocol. It is the same enzyme used metabolize
codeine to morphine, so if codeine doesn’t work for
you it might (my theory) be a good indication of lack
of CYP2D6. Medical tests for ibogaine would include a
general physical/blood chemistry, EKG and liver
testing. A TEST dose of ibogaine is also standard
procedure, if it hits very hard it might be an
indication of low CYP2D6 and a good idea to cut back
on the dose.

Hi I’ve been reading this list for a while and think
this is
a great place.

I’m 25 and I’ve been doing heroin since I was 18 and
lately
mostly oxy’s. I will be doing ibogaine in a month
and I have
some questions for anyone who can answer please.

I have never done any drug treatment or the
aftercare before
but reading what’s online in places and in this
group nearly
all of you have gone through some of that or a lot
of that,
but mostly none of you are doing it now to stay
clean and
had bad experiences with it.

I was wondering what some of you do or did to stay
clean
right after ibogaine? Should I expect it to be very
hard or
does the desire to stop using just go away? I’ve
read about
the last month and a half of this list and I’ve read
Patrick’s articles and writings which are like wow,
do you
want to get some coffee and talk, are you single?
😉 What I
mean is you’re a really smart weirdo who’s cute and
wow can
you write! I read some of it and it’s you’re writing
a acid
trip, how the f**k do you do that? And where do I
get
whatever drugs you’ve done! 😉

But what I mean is I’m interested and attracted by
what you
are and what you say but at the same time I have to
be real
and admit I have not the slightest idea what you’re
talking
about most of the time.

I know some of you here are doing all that too but
I’m much
more interested in knowing what happens a week after
ibogaine? a month? I’ve read enough here to believe
it works
and cleans you up but then what do I do? I hate the
groups,
are there any different or better groups or
anything.

What I mean to say is some of you have progressed a
long way
from being on heroin and gone to much different
places but
what were all of you who made it and are clean years
later,
doing a week after you got off heroin and did
ibogaine! And
a month after. That exactly is my question.

Thank you!

Andria, pure MDMA, when used in the proper setting (whatever that may be for those involved), and with the right mindset (intention) can be very healing, life-changing, and great for conflict resolution. Unfortunately there is so much money to be made off of MDMA that often it is adulterated. That’s where the danger may lie. Also, lack of info. on how to use it safely is not promulgated through common media sources. Those that are the gate-keepers to knowlege (governments, sicko rich freaks that run the world, etc.) know that MDMA can change society (along with cannabis, iboga / ibogaine, mushrooms, yage, DMT etc…) and they are very AFRAID of these substances (yet they have no qualms exploiting them to make sick amounts of money, and arresting us when we use them). Anyways, glad to hear the kid didn’t get hurt. It probably took the child to a place she / he was very used to: innocent, empathetic LOVE.

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this one yet.. but browsing through all the newspapers yesterday, I found 3 coverages of the fact that one of our famous actresses 2 yr old accidentally popped a small part of a tab of E and is perfectly fine.

I was in the ‘senior common room’ at school (place for posh VIPs, I think: i go there cos I’m trying to chat a few of them into doing a DPReform gig, and to read – it’s quiet there) Anyways, reading the articles, I burst out laughing and went into a little-gal peel of giggles and the VIP professor over there was giving me that kinda, oh-she’s-just-another-local-nut-look!

And this is an important event; the details are a little scant at the moment, but if a 2 yr old can take a little E and be fine, what does that say about MDMA after all?

Howz Karina? Anyone know?

From the “FDA Talk Paper” released on Oct 8:
“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the
approval of Subutex (buprenorphine hydrochloride) and
Suboxone tablets (buprenorphine hydrochloride and
naloxone hydrochloride) for the treatment of opiate
dependence. Subutex and Suboxone treat opiate
addiction by preventing symptoms of withdrawal from
heroin and other opiates.

“These products represent two new formulations of
buprenorphine. The first of these formulations,
Subutex, contains only buprenorphine and is
intended for use at the beginning of treatment for
drug abuse. The other, Suboxone, contains both
buprenorphine and the opiate antagonist naloxone, and
is intended to be the formulation used in maintenance
treatment of opiate addiction. Naloxone has been added
to Suboxone to guard against intravenous abuse of
buprenorphine by individuals physically dependent on
opiates. Both drugs are supplied in 2 mg and 8 mg
tablets which are placed under the tongue and must be
allowed to dissolve.”

See these documents at the FDA’s Center for Drug

o   Patient Leaflet
o   Physician Information

The Physician Information document includes a list of
the steps and application forms necessary for private

This is an enormous step forward in drug treatment
policy, 27 years after the promulgation of the first

Send a blank email to ibogaine-unsubscribe@mindvox.com. You might get some long and complicated message back which amounts to the server trying to verify that your address is valid. If you do, just hit reply and send that message back to. I’ve never unsubscribed so I’m not sure if you’ll get that or not.

Dude, what I don’t unnerstan’ is why you and Dennis and all the rest of
youz, keep having this same series of insights on the Vox list, on Full
Disclosure, on WhateverTheFuck.

Basically, yes, we know all this.  Yeah we’re working on it.  This isn’t
anyone’s job, we don’t have a deadline, we’re doing whatever we’re doing.

<Shrug>

What I do not comprehend is why all of you bitch and complain about
everything, and feel the need to keep repeating the obvious.  What
difference does it make to any of you.

Anywaze, please stop dumping this drivel into the ibogaine list, keep it
on the other forums, and when we open the new lists we’ll add a dot.bomb
survivors forum, so everyone can sit and spin in an eternal circle-jerk of
neverending misery and angst.  Sorta like grunge, but without flannel,
heroin and stock options.

The result is that the person is clean ,and he doesn’t need this medication
,
anyway it is just to let you know ,  normaly people would have a seizure
trying to stop this kind of medication ,
but not with Iboga , they don’t . so that’s what is about nobody els is
doing it ,if I will not tell you ,you wouldn’t know
but many addicts to Methadone get also other medications which are hard to
get off without  risking getting a seizure.what if your Dr. will give you
the wrong medication would you like to stay on it for the rest of you life?
if you would look at all the side effect it can make you more sick then
before and nobody will tell you
that you can become a zombie after taking it for few years ,
I don’t not use Ibogaine  but Iboga extract which is possible to give in
different dosages for different addictions ,

My messages were written in a reply to what goes through the other Mindvox lists and what Drew says in irc. It isn’t that Mindvox is supposed to turn all their effort into being a professional company, it’s that they should devote only a little effort to dealing with reality.

Mindvox has at least 3 maybe 4 or 5 machines hooked to the internet. The web server, there is mail, there is another machine that is their own phantom domain, there is a firewall which is some type of bsd system, they are hosting at least 35 to 50 web sites somewhere. At their hit rate they are well past T1 bandwidth. Running Mindvox is not giving a web hosting company $39 a month to run a web site, Mindvox is a $3,000 to $4,000 a month bill to stay online. Not counting any of the hardware.

That’s a very expensive hobby.

I’m not telling anyone what to do, Patrick is doing whatever Patrick does to hypnotize people and make them keep coming here. Patrick isn’t the problem and I give him much respect and credit for being a great wordsmith in addition to all the other things he is. Drew Ross isn’t the problem.

The problem is that this exact situation can be looked up on kenkappel.com, which is ironic and sad at the same time. The only difference between what Mindvox is doing now and was doing 5 years ago, is they aren’t spending 1.2 million dollars of the Dutch government’s money and destroying their corporate apartments.

Maybe the problem wasn’t the drugs after all. This has been said oh, 500 times, so why repeat it.

Saying it as a statement, not a insult, everyone running Mindvox are a group of brilliant idiots. Go find one guy who understands reality and you’ll all be worth 50 million in a few years. There’s your answer for when you get bent out of shape Mr. Kroupa “fucking dot com owes me at least 50 fucking million I want my fucking money” you can collect. Find one person who understands the real world. You have enough brilliant space cadets. Stop collecting them and get one normal person.

<<Dear all, (I’m not sure if this is a convo between Chris and Jon or whomever,) but i guess this is less important than what is being said here…maybe.
Anyways, just to say that I recently discovered Ephedrine over the counter as a diet pill; now look b4 any of U get weird ideas about me, I am fat but I am not into taking drugs to get smaller. HOWEVER, i discovered the most wonderful thing about this med – IT HELPS ME BREATHE. IT HELPS ME BREATHE. IT HELPS ME BREATHE. Er, think I’ve made my point!>>>>>>
It’s a bronchiodilator, meaning it makes the tubes that run your lungs wider, so that more air gets through. That’s what the Chinese found out about ephedra way back when, and that’s why a synthetic derivative of it is used in asthma medications. Pot’s a bronchiodilator too, by the way. I’m not asthmatic, but I did enjoy the feeling of clear breathing when I let myself get addicted to that stuff for awhile.

>>>I have been an asthmatic since 1964, almost all my life. I was given pure adrenalin when i was wee, and have taken huge amounts of other drugs – including steroids – to keep me alive for all these years. In July 2000, Mar 2001 and Aug 2002, I nearly died from asthma attacks… this has not happened to me since I was a little gal; i’m not sure what life/body stresses caused these nr death experiences, but I do know that this ephedrine works well for me, AND I don’t have to take any of the steroid (or hardly any,) anymore. Steroids have several side-ffects which are nasty, one of which, I believe is, osteoporosis in women of my age and upwatds..(thinning of the bones.)
And Eph. is psychoactive and addictive, so then I had to do a harm reduction evaluation on myself: could i cope with a little bit of addiction, which gives me energy (desp. needed) and keeps my breathing going, even if i’m readdicted AND it has a huge financial cost.>>>>>

Well, whatever addiction you may suffer from it will not be nearly as strong as some other addictions out there. It was mostly psychological with me; it was that energy that I loved from it. John mentioned trying synephrine to get the same effect. I don’t know much about that one. I always thought the whole herb, ephedra, was more effective and better for my body than the synthetic derivative, ephedrine. I think it was John who said that ephedrine is not synthetic because it’s simply the derived component of the very thing that makes ephedra powerful. But if you derive it in a lab, I’ve always called that synthetic. Just a difference of opinion. Doesn’t really matter, I suppose. It depends on the person, obviously, as to whether one thing will work better than another. To get really high quality ephedra, you’ve got to pay maybe 4 times more than you do for a typical bottle of ephedrine. I found by just going to an herb shop and buying ephedra it was never as potent as what I’d find online.

My doc was opposed completely, but since she has been so neglectful of me, who cares? She didn’t even wanna hear that it was helping me to breathe without all the junk-meds she was giving me… and it is NOT contraindicted with any other meds I take for other things.
[1 pharmaceutical co V another – that’s all.]
IMPORTANT thing is that I NEVER take more than 80mgs of Eph/day – so controlled addiction, or what is more commonly known as responsible self-medication. TG it’s legal!

Yes, it is important not to go overboard. Taking too much is the number one rule not to break, when it comes to many things people can ingest. That’s where I ran into great trouble with ephedrine. Taking too much. Trust me, you don’t want day-long stomach acid and gagging. Sounds like you’re in control of it.

No, ephedrine is a naturally occuring chemical, it is the primary
psychoactive constituent of ephedra (like morphine to opium). I experience
the shakes and anxiety whether I take the whole herb, or the
extracted ephedrine; leading me to believe that it is the ephedrine which
causes the reaction (as opposed to some other chemical found in the whole
herb).

I would imagine that the reason that pseudoephedrine doesn’t have this
effect on me is that it is less potent than ephedrine, but what confuses
the matter is that more potent stimulants (e.g. methamphetamine and
cocaine) don’t cause this reaction in me…

Ahhh, but my former clinic here in the Apple took off all the hot water tap handles and valves handles too. So that was out. Plus, we had to hand the bottle, in a plastic bag, to the guy at the front desk who wore a thin plastic glove and would fondle the bottle as well as shake them up to be sure there wasn’t some cold water from the tap added, and that the piss was fresh.
What a delightful job.

Yeah – mandatory piss tests are a pain for everyone involved in methadone
maintanance programs.
The great irony is that an oral swab test is not only more cost effective
but it affords the treatment provider a greater degree of certainty that
opiates/etc are or are not in the system.
In my own experience at the various methadone clincs ive attended all over
the UK, over the (too many) years, few demanded to watch the urine actually
come out, especially after the first test was completed –
which left it totally open to abuse – “still doing really well, Paul” –
Oh yes, after I’d run some urine that only contained methadone under the hot
tap – (some containers now have a thermal strip to test the temprature – but
you just made sure that someone who actually follows the program is with you
in the toilets) – all bullshit junkie deceit –
but the threat of enforced detox if opiates other than methadone were found
in the system tends to make ya inventive.
Until the day arrives when the presence of any other drug is irrelevant
in terms of your continued methadone maintanance, the only reason i can see
for the continuation of urine tests is for mass spectrum analysis
or gas chromatography(?)-(is that how its spelt) to check out your body
chemistry upon intake.
Oral swabs are more humane,cheaper and more dignified – having said that,
there use would have probably resulted in a few more enforced detox’s than i
got 😉

Andria,

As other people on this list have mentioned, you might want to try using
the whole herb extract as opposed to the pure compound. A standardised
extract is usually best.

You might also want to look into synephrine, an alkaloid found in bitter
orange that is similar to ephedrine, but slightly less potent, and so less
addictive.

if anyone has a copy of “zen without zen masters” on falcon press they can find the proper quote which i have probably fucked up – but you get the gist –
patrick is absolutely spot on, take what you find useful and actually checks out in the light of your own experience and throw away what doesn’t.
the MAP(any formalised ideology,or more charitably, any methodology
that purports to have THE ANSWER) IS NOT the TERRITORY(the actual lived experience of freedom from addiction) as General Semantics never tires of pointing out, with good reason.
Some maps/models/masks are more useful than others, just be wary of the ones that have all the answers and remember, some approaches may work for you at one time and be completely useless at others – dont throw the baby out with the bathwater as they say – example : i spent six months in a phoenix house over here in the UK engaged in intensive transactional analysis therapy – delving into my primary belief programming – i came out and promptly relapsed within a week – but the stuff i learned about myself was so fucking useful, especially in making sense of the contents of my two ibogaine experiences. – so don’t disregard anything – a guy i know goes to NA once a month to “dump his shit” as he puts it and gets on with his life the rest of the time – it works for him, so who am i to judge.
Its been a week since my second ibogaine treatment and my strategy for staying opiate/cocaine free this time around involves listening to lots of detroit techno,staying clear of my friends who are still addicted,go swimming,ingest lots of melatonin, dlpa and choline/b complex vitamins,look after my neglected cat and re-read the works of robert anton wilson/john c.lilly/christopher Hyatt/burroughs “the job” and actually do the brain change exercises they suggest and most importantly as the master of neurologic, aliester crowley said :”do not lust after results”.the process is everything.
I’ll keep you posted of my progress.

Hi Dana
Yeah!-like a lot of us, i was a sci-fi kiddie – the first book i read was a scanner darkly when i was twelve, which given the content of the book, was quite prophetic on retrospect.
Valis remains my favourite,especially the excerpts from the exegesis, (though i have still to read the Sutin book)
I’ve been meaning to write to you for a long time to thank you,paul and the whole Staten Island crew for putting together the ibogaine story, without getting all emotional and gushing,it has saved my life, or rather, it has given me the chance to save my life.
I was addicted to heroin/methadone/crack for ten years.Just before my life hit rock bottom four years ago and i ended up homeless, begging on the streets of London, a friend gave me a copy of the Ibogaine Story to read.I carried that book around for nearly three years and i never lost it (the only thing i didn’t lose!).
I read and re-read it – the valis/gnostic stuff especially – I “knew” that the book was a strange attractor for my first ibogaine experience ten months ago – just as i knew that the experience ten months ago was
rippling back in time to the point at which i first became aware of ibogaine.(in Goethe’s sense that future events cast their shadow back into the past). I never doubted that i would one day take ibogaine and it would free me, which begging daily with no financial support was quite a leap of faith.I had my second treatment eight days ago and it has given me a clarity of vision i didn’t think possible.(the first treatment taught me not to view ibogaine as a quick techno-fix for the soul, but as a co-participant in the creation of a self beyond your present self),ibogaine opens the door, but you still need to walk through it, i think it sometimes needs a second treatment to realise this.
Anyway, onto the interesting shit :
In an old email you sent to mindvox, you used the phrase “egyptian bwiti” – but no context(it was a very short mail) – this blew my mind.
The content of my first ibogaine experience was overwhelmingly “African”
The iboga entity appeared first in the form of the west african trickster god complete with a spear in his left hand – what the voodou system calls “Carfax/Carrefour” – guardian of the crossroads, the gates between the phenomenal world of illusion and hyperspace, between the conscious/subconscious,universe A and universe B. An entity that Dr.John Dee and Crowley call Choronzon (the guardian of the abyss)- and the egyptian’s called Set/Horus (one existing through the other).
In its second form, it appeared as a giant iboga plant rooted in the axis mundi of a jupiter like planet – i lamely asked it “whats it like been a plant,doesn’t it get boring stuck in one place” – at this i got a resounding NO! – and its root system shot out to every point on the surface, indicating, like the mushroom,the non-local nature of plant consciousness.
Anyway, i digress, but the point is, apart from all this weird african shit, the other predominant vision was of me standing before a giant egyptian pyramid,clad in gold, complete with the eye of horus/sirius
on its capstone (unlike the masonic/illuminati depiction, the capstone was joined) – and more than this, the eye was emmiting a bright pink light!(yeah, i know..).
So, it was strange, all this African stuff and then this Egyptian pyramid..and then, the ibogaine synchronicity matrix directed me towards certain texts:
In a book by Kenneth Grant called “Cults of the Shadow” utilising the theories of Gerald Massey(who did some great stuff on gnosticism at the turn of the century – theres a site with all his lectures on it).
Anyway, they posit the theory that the whole western system of magick
occult tradition came from West Africa! and migrated to Egypt/Chaldea/Ur
etc and then was transmitted through the early gnostic traditions onto the tantric traditions of India – you can also see the continuation of the tradition through the Knights Templar/Cathars as you say in the ibogaine story through the Spanish Kabbalists, through the Alchemists,
Rosicrucians right up to the Golden Dawn and the A.A.
The common theme is the secret sacrament and the road map for its use – the tree of life – and as i say, massey and grant trace the development of the Kabbalistic tree of life to its origins in West Africa – they dont mention the identity of the sacrament – mmm, a plant from West Africa that is sacred – i wonder!
Other texts i “found” relating to this :
1) “The Stargate Conspiracy” – Lynn Barber and Clive Prince who use the theories of Jeremy Narby (The Cosmic Serpent) they suggest that the egyptians had some kind of ayauascha (was that iboga?),that allowed them to gain knowledge to build the pyramids – Narby suggests that harmaline and dmt allow us to access our dna and the records encoded – PKD’s “anamnesis” theory in effect.
2)This directly relates to Dennis and Terrence Mckenna’s stuff in “the invisible landscape” that suggests harmaline through a process of “hyper-carbolation” and “electron spin ressonance” transforms the dna into a solid state matrix(valis?) and transforms the self into a transciever of gnostic revelation.
3) and then i re-read Robert Temple’s “The Sirius Mystery”, he suggests that the Dogon knowledge of “sirius” came from the egyptians and travelled down to the Dogon tribe in West Africa(and yeah,some anthropologists say that the sirius stuff was all made up,that the dogon have no Knowledge) but what if its the other way around – what if the knowledge of Sirius came first from West Africa via iboga and got transmitted upwards to the egyptians – it would certainly be funny, if we could show that the whole western veneration of sirius (the blazing star of masonry and “the sun behind the sun” of western occultism) came originally from knowledge gained by tripping on iboga in west africa.
And!- isnt it interesting that the pineal gland/the anja chackra – identified first according to Grant by the west african magickal tradition is the only site of norharman production-im sure youve thought about that.
Anyway, im going to use the clean time ive got to put all these strands into some coherent form – i get the feeling that the iboga entity wants me to, plus it’ll keep me busy.
Anyway, back to the original question – what did you mean by the “egyptian bwiti”!

take care

paul
The theory that iboga was the secret sacrament involved in the initiation of Pharoahs is supported by the work of Giorgio Samorini–based on inferences from the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the appearance of pygmies on temple friezes, among other things. I have never seen any of his stuff in English, so you’d have to check it out in the original Italian.

Here’s an extremely interesting view of intelligence given to me by sort of
a modern day philosopher. The genius is someone who is in touch with
something called ‘the daimos.’  This is the part of him/herself that is
able to relate to and sync with God/theGoddess/The force. When you have
found you’re own daimos, it opens up somekind of doorway through which all
the universe’s energies, or whatever you’d like to call it, comes rushing
through your mind. Anyone who has been reborn can testify to this; it’s an
energy rush that suddenly gives you new sites, new views, scores of new
thought dimensions. His theory is that anyone who finds this daimos,
through ibogaine, drugs, their own soul-searching, whatever, also finds
greater intelligence. I always think of those singers who people say have a
lot of soul, when I think of this definition. You don’t see great singers
of soul sitting around writing books on fuzzy logic. But you listen to
them, and hear that daimos coming out of them, and their way of singing
reaches parts of your mind that have been touched and that you never even
knew were there.

I guess this is very much a sceptical drug users perspective, but what U describe above, I usually put down to natural chemicals running around my body. If I had the time to prove myself wrong though, I’d be really happy

Yes i agree
the “daimos” does have a neuro-chemical basis (im speculating here but my guess is that its partly accessed through the nmda/kappa circuit – especially in the light of salvia divinorum acting as a kappa antagonist). Consciousness is an emergent property of all self-organizing systems after a certain level of complexity has been reached, but can it be reduced to it – no way – get down to the quantum level of biological/physical organization and a doorway suddenly appears that seems to have all the properties of consciousness itself –
the point of non-locality where things get “spooky” as einstein said.

its all down to an aesthetic choice not an either/or one.
for some people this entity/mode of consciousness comes from “without” as a god/plant entity/angelic being/daemon/disembodied intelligence/the overmind/gaia/alien other/valis/ecco” and for some it comes from “within” as “the higher self”,the individuated self/the self-actualised self/the self-meta programmer.
In the end, it matters little what explanatory principle we invoke, its what we do with the knowledge we gain from this special mode of consciousness, does it allow us to treat ourselves and others with more compassion and love ? – because if not, it matters not how “it” chooses to present itself : as a disembodied voice/as an “entity”, or as a field of information.

Personally i agree with the irish guy, who when asked “do you believe in fairies?” – replied “no i do not,but i doubt whether they believe in me either.”

Yoh Chris, connected as ever. Recently, I had a few moments of UTTER despair. During one of them, I reached out to John (my dead hubby) for help. He rushed in and said, “I’m sending U a thousand angels to surround U and keep U safe from the darkness.” It was phenomenal. I cried/sobbed hard, my body shaking with the torso-jolts, and within an hour, I was chilled and asleep (again.)

Cool!

The West Australian
March 1 2001
Author: Liz Tickner

HEROIN HIT

UNTREATED heroin addicts were less likely to die than those who dropped out
of Perth doctor George O’Neil’s naltrexone program, a study has found.

The two-year study of 3617 WA heroin addicts by psychiatrist James
Fellows-Smith and general practitioner John Edwards found that addicts on
the streets had a one in 100 chance of dying.

Addicts prescribed naltrexone had a one in 61 chance of dying while those
prescribed methadone had a mortality rate of one in 458.

The study found that heroin overdose in combination with other central
nervous system depressants was the main cause of death in the naltrexone and
methadone test groups.

Naltrexone blocks the cravings for heroin. Dr Fellows-Smith said naltrexone
patients risked death when they stopped treatment suddenly. Most deaths in
the naltrexone test group occurred within a month of ceasing treatment.

“The majority relapse on to heroin and become highly vulnerable to
overdose,” Dr Fellows-Smith said. “The most likely cause of this significant
and increased death rate for naltrexone patients is that the drug
(naltrexone) lowers their tolerance for opiates.”

Even while on the naltrexone program, patients tended to use a cocktail of
other drugs, including amphetamines and tranquillisers.

Their use of a mixture of drugs with heroin could prove fatal when they
stopped using naltrexone, he said.

Patients remained on the naltrexone program for an average of three months
and 31 per cent were readmitted to the program. Methadone patients stayed on
the program for an average of six months and 45 per cent were readmitted.

Dr O’Neil said he was aware of the research and confirmed there had been 60
to 70 deaths among his patients since he began treating heroin addicts with
naltrexone 3 1/2,* years ago.

“Naltrexone is dangerous if you don’t do it properly,” he said. Naltrexone
worked 100 per cent of the time but the danger of dying from a drug overdose
when patients dropped off the program was real.

It was crucial that naltrexone patients had the backup of carers, either
family or friends, who would crush and administer the tablets and monitor
urine. In the past six months, 200 addicts who did not have the backup of
carers had been fitted with naltrexone implants.

Dr Fellows-Smith said that, given the high use of naltrexone treatment in
WA, doctors prescribing naltrexone would need to consider whether its use
could be justified.

“Certainly all patients on naltrexone and their families need to be warned
as to the life-threatening risks associated with its use,” he said.

No, but I do seriously question putting that much
energy into anything that one does not want to feed.
It could be anything, the I’m black, I’m a WOMAN, I am
in RECOVERY. So lets focus all the energy I have on
addiction and NOT GETTING HIGH, on all the wrongs
(true or not) about being black or we know what all
those men want…  To me, it is counter-productive,
perpetuating any issue, feeding them, even creating
them. Want to laugh at it, that is another matter
(though it obviously pisses you off) like we sometimes
laugh at our addiction. Nothing serious about it till
you made it so.

Now, where is that woman of mine, I left my clothes on
the floor and she didn’t clean it up – THAT BITCH!
Maybe I will beat her when she gets home. She is
smaller and weaker than I am, GOD must have intended
it that way or he wouldn’t have made all men bigger,
stronger and meaner (not to mention ass-holes – which
in fact, some are).

Truth is we never fight/argue and yes I say LOTS OF
THINGS in jest, eg spoofing something. All in fun IMO
but seems (to you) I am putting something evil into
the Universe – which is all you baby, not me.

Dear Rick, y’all

Andria from London here – good morning!

Interesting analogy – 12 steps/their proponents and the promotion of computer software.

‘Listening’ to you all sharing your experiences of treatment, recovery programs and more, I find myself deep in thought AGAIN!

AND I have wanted to write a LONG article about ‘recovery’ in the Users Voice for a very long time. 2 b quite honest, I 1st want to write an article that says the 12 steps are fine but their perversion by profit-making entrepreneurs, not to mention the monopoly the Minnessotta method has on the American treatment system is loopy!

PLEASE COULD WE ALL NOT THROW THE BABIES OUT WITH THE BATHWATER. Almost everybody on this list has, at some point expressed that ‘Horses for courses’ be our best approach to promoting treatment to fellow ex/current addict users.

We are all different TG! And therefore, we all have different needs and desires no? my main problem with most 12-step programs is that most people tend not to follow the steps that much at all. It’s kinda like going to church and then going and shagging yr best friends lover! BS!! in other words, (& even more worldly hypocrisy.)

Anyways, we are human and therefore we err, but I’m almost certain that slagging off treatment protocols on a list set up for people still suffering from/experiencing addiction issues is probably NOT the best idea. Now and then, I will pop into NA just to be grounded, humbled and CONNECTED when I lose the plot again..
…Let’s face it, it’s always there, it’s cheap/free, they give u nice biscuits and tea and if U r lucky U will get to hear what the steps mean, not to mention see/meet a few other wonderful ex/current drug users. Sounds cool to me.. or is it all the people that tell us what to do that piss us off? Speaking for myself -YES!

And hey, i am 42 yrs old for crying out loud; if i ain’t learnt how to live yet, when?

Gimme the damned gold star!

Haven’t you heard…NA and AA are great! They’re the ONLY WAY…for
some folks.  They really believe it because it is the only way for them
and it works. So they promote it…largely because the whole
drug-treatment field was founded upon Bill W., AA, NA, the 12-steps, and
a bunch of lay-recovery “experts.”  Other approaches are the
competitors…who sell junk, of course, because they “know” their
product is the only one that works.

The “market,”  so to speak, is bereft of any major competitors because
“This is the way,” is the accepted mantra that convinces people to go
“buy” the product.  Sort of like the Microsoft machine.  They’re the big
boy…they make half-way decent JUNK.  Lots of people love it. It’s
still junk.  People are convinced that this junk is the only thing they
can slap on their machine…and for many, this is likely true…so for
them, it works great, and they find great benefit therein. It’s a
market-whore.  For the majority who buy their junk and put it on their
computers, it meets the need very well.  Never mind the blue screen of
death that requires you to reboot once or twice per day.  For stability,
security, etc., go with Sun Microsystems or some other alternative.  The
Microsoft grunt is going to tell you, go with W2K…hold off on
XP…because it works pretty good for the most part.  They aren’t likely
to pull out the Sun catalog and recommend you buy someone elses product.
They work for the Empire, and the Empire works for them.

Speaking of data, a review of my caseload shows that of my 46 folks, 23
of them have been stable and drug-free for 3 or more years.  Only 2 or 3
of them go to NA or 12-step meetings.

Yeah – mandatory piss tests are a pain for everyone involved in methadone maintanance programs.
The great irony is that an oral swab test is not only more cost effective but it affords the treatment provider a greater degree of certainty that opiates/etc are or are not in the system.
In my own experience at the various methadone clincs ive attended all over the UK, over the (too many) years, few demanded to watch the urine actually come out, especially after the first test was completed –
which left it totally open to abuse – “still doing really well, Paul” –
Oh yes, after I’d run some urine that only contained methadone under the hot tap – (some containers now have a thermal strip to test the temprature – but you just made sure that someone who actually follows the program is with you in the toilets) – all bullshit junkie deceit –
but the threat of enforced detox if opiates other than methadone were found in the system tends to make ya inventive.
Until the day arrives when the presence of any other drug is irrelevant
in terms of your continued methadone maintanance, the only reason i can see for the continuation of urine tests is for mass spectrum analysis
or gas chromatography(?)-(is that how its spelt) to check out your body chemistry upon intake.
Oral swabs are more humane,cheaper and more dignified – having said that, there use would have probably resulted in a few more enforced detox’s than i got 😉

Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2002 09:28:07 EDT

Dear ‘Raven’

DELIGHTED to read yr e-mail below.

I’ve been doing similar work to U for just over a decade – 6 yrs
‘officially.’

Until recently, our project, the John Mordaunt Trust – A user
Advocacy/HIV/HCV project,  had its HQs in a West London Health
Trust/Substance Misuse Service.

I presented an academic paper to the Clinical Advisory team there, and was
given very little response (of significance) from the ‘professionals’ there.
Indeed, exactly what happened was the following,
a) the pharmacologist of the ‘professsional’ team started woffling stuff in
my direction that sounded significant but as she never explained what she was
talking about it was rather difficult to know if it was sound or not,
b) the consultant psychiatrist made a patronising comment at me, & thanked me
for the paper,
c) one of the managers challenged me to be a little less angry/sad when
delivering an important message [definitely the most imp. bit of feedback i
got] and
d)the auditor of the service FINALLY lept into support me in saying, “Andria
is simply asking us to consider how humiliating/degrading this ongoing
practise is to our patients and that there ARE cheaper and more humane ways
to access the same information.”

That was 18 months ago; I wrote to the consultant shrink a few months ago to
see how far they’d come with changing over to a less invasive testing
protocol, and he didn’t write back.. neither did the manager of the service.
Meanwhile that main manager, a woman whom I personally like a lot has been
angry/hurt with me that I do not advertise her drug service on the back of
the Users Voice..saw her 2 days ago, and she still was.

Don’t they get it? I WILL NEVER IN ANY way support such a disgusting and
useless procedure against my peers UNLESS it is being used in [heroin
protocols] – & even then there are better ways to do it

SOLIDARITY always

This sounds borderline criminal. The new regulations specifically address the
issue of obtaining UA’s in a non-degrading manner.  You might want to
organize and form a patient advocacy group, and/or contact state authorities…
put up a ruckus til it stinketh to high heaven.  Our clinic used to do
observed UA’s, and our clinical director didn’t have any problem with people
having to “drop trou” all the way to their ankles (for men suspected of
diverting) and having women squat instead of sitting so the nurses could
observe the stream.  Despite my complaining and pointing out the new regs on
obtaining specimens in a non-degrading way, she and the nurses just didn’t
see it.  Once I did some homework, the alternate approach of obtaining Oral
Mucosa specimens was found to be about the same price (actually a bit cheaper…
around $9 per specimen), they responded to the $$$ incentive and the “less
hassle for me,” approach.

The oral swab (thru Bendiner & Schlesinger) would solve problems 1 and 2.
Not providing medication for inability to provide a UA has GOT to be illegal.
Organize. Bitch and complain.  This is absolutely inhumane.

#3…you’ve got a better way of it than we in this area.  We test for THC as
well. But positives result in automatic loss of TH privileges…then the person
has to re-earn their former #  of TH’s.  After months of pointing out how
screwed up this was…especially in light of the first test results being
immunoassay…I finally managed to win over the staff to allow people to hold
on to medication while the GC/MS was being done on the specimen. This buys
them another week or two (and has come back negative in a number of
instances)

#4 sounds pretty typical of most clinics.  I advocated for, and actually got,
a “Wall of Remembrance” bulletin board, for people to memorialize people who
suffer from addiction that passed away (for whatever reason).  First Name and
Last initial only for confidentiality reasons, or Obituaries, with a
statement at the bottom of the board indicating that those posted have simply
passed away and were not necessarily a drug user or a former patient at the
clinic.

#5…If run the right way…and clinical staff members in said programs would
recognize their role as one of helping people reclaim their lives, and
understand the neurological changes that take place due to long-term opiate
use, things can change for the better.  Unfortunately, there are too many
people working in methadone programs who are biased against the “scumbags”
that they are there to help and merely see themselves as an extension of law
enforcement as opposed to TREATMENT PROFESSIONALS, and get caught up in the
drama of playing “cat and mouse.”

I highly encourage you to pursue patient advocacy. Likewise, a read through
the new regs, and a few phone calls to state methadone authorities.

Thanks for the input, and good luck in the battle against ignorance.

it is not the result of heroin use but the WOD.

I think people like to confuse people they admire with the drugs they do. Doing heroin will not make you the next keith richards or william burroughs. doing heroin then doing ibogaine and lsd will not make you the next patrick 😉

doing all those things will only make you dead, in prison, or having nervous breakdown. If you very lucky maybe Kurt Cobain before all that happens 😉

Dear Erica

Do not let Patrick fool U; he’s a wise and wonderful man; he just has a very colourful way of describing life, the universe and everything. (Well that’s how I see it anyways)

I’m writing to you from my home in London. I have done Ibogaine, but as it happens it wasn’ t that which has assisted me to stay off H for the last 9 & a quarter yrs..It was sheer desire to have a better life, swimming, reconnecting with my family and friends in a real way (letting go of fear, guilt and rage) not to mention my work which is my raison d’etre since the death of my gorgeous and brilliant hubby (to AIDS) in 1995.

On the other hand, I took Ibogaine 2 and a quarter yrs ago, and had a very extraordinary experience. To keep it brief, the aftermath is what helped me enormously, and stopped me falling off the rails again – that is, I was given this wonderful feeling of calm, loving and serenity.

U r young and lucid; i can ‘see’ that from the e-mail u sent us here. It sounds like U have every chance of doing well with the Ibogaine, coming off heroin and staying off.

U will need to have a few physical tests done first, e.g. a test to ensure that u have a particular enzyme that is vital to metabolise Ibogaine. Could a more senior/experienced Ibogaine guide explain this to Erica more clearly.

Wishing U all the strength, light and love towards yr successful recovery. Keep us posted on how U do.

Hi I’ve been reading this list for a while and think this is
a great place.

I’m 25 and I’ve been doing heroin since I was 18 and lately
mostly oxy’s. I will be doing ibogaine in a month and I have
some questions for anyone who can answer please.

I have never done any drug treatment or the aftercare before
but reading what’s online in places and in this group nearly
all of you have gone through some of that or a lot of that,
but mostly none of you are doing it now to stay clean and
had bad experiences with it.

I was wondering what some of you do or did to stay clean
right after ibogaine? Should I expect it to be very hard or
does the desire to stop using just go away? I’ve read about
the last month and a half of this list and I’ve read
Patrick’s articles and writings which are like wow, do you
want to get some coffee and talk, are you single? 😉 What I
mean is you’re a really smart weirdo who’s cute and wow can
you write! I read some of it and it’s you’re writing a acid
trip, how the f**k do you do that? And where do I get
whatever drugs you’ve done! 😉

But what I mean is I’m interested and attracted by what you
are and what you say but at the same time I have to be real
and admit I have not the slightest idea what you’re talking
about most of the time.

I know some of you here are doing all that too but I’m much
more interested in knowing what happens a week after
ibogaine? a month? I’ve read enough here to believe it works
and cleans you up but then what do I do? I hate the groups,
are there any different or better groups or anything.

What I mean to say is some of you have progressed a long way
>from being on heroin and gone to much different places but
what were all of you who made it and are clean years later,
doing a week after you got off heroin and did ibogaine! And
a month after. That exactly is my question.

Thank you!

>>At the Board of Directors meeting for the National Alliance of Methadone
Advocates I was handed a copy of Andria Mordaunt’s The Users Voice, a
newsletter of current and former drug users.  In it was a CD called Going
Over which was a really slick piece of important information/presentaiton on
overdoses and also included a guided tour of cardio pulmonary resuscitation.

Every Ibogaine provider should get a copy of this CD as knowledge of cardio
pulmonary resuscitation was discussed as an issue of concern to ibogaine
providers during the editorial exchanges which resulted in the Ibogaine
Manual, First Revision, http://www.ibogaine.org/manual.html

>> Thanx for the acknowledgement Howard; these are the moments of life i live for.. (i know – i’m a v.sad case!?)
Just to add that is an excellent CD, and it was produced by our Dept of Health with advice from drugworkers – ex/users. Anyways, my short review in the Users Voice does compliment it, BUT also questions the sense in producing a CD, when most ofd the acutely affected and in desperate need of the info therein will not have access to a comp, let alone one with a CD-player. I guess they made it for the professionals and a few drug users in treatment then, after all… better than a slap in the moosh with a wet-discloth.

Andria can you let people know how to get copies of the CD or possibly
ibogaine providers who are interested can request the contact information or
a CD from Andria.

>> I have hundreds of them under my desk. Just e-mail me here, and or write to Andria Mordaunt, C/O Drugscope, 32-36 Loman Street, SE1 OEE (e-mail has been broken there for a week, so forget that for a while.)

Preston also had an article in the issue of The User’s Voice (#17) on the
Million Marijuana March arrests in New York during the May 2002 event.
http://www.drugscope.org.uk/  (check out the links) – Drugscope are only just beginning to get ‘radical’ on the drug-policy issue. Otoh, they have supported the John Mordaunt Trust for 5 yrs, by giving me space to do our work..
Fact: they were/are tied to govt money so had/have to tow the line until govt woke/wake up, which they have done – slightly – in the last yr, as a result of activist endeavours over a decade.. and more.

BTW, my ethnic origin is Greek Cypriot, and in many ways, I’m far more cypo than Brit; loud, rude, warm and loving!

Yes i agree
the “daimos” does have a neuro-chemical basis (im speculating here but my guess is that its partly accessed through the nmda/kappa circuit – especially in the light of salvia divinorum acting as a kappa antagonist). Consciousness is an emergent property of all self-organizing systems after a certain level of complexity has been reached, but can it be reduced to it – no way – get down to the quantum level of biological/physical organization and a doorway suddenly appears that seems to have all the properties of consciousness itself –
the point of non-locality where things get “spooky” as einstein said.

its all down to an aesthetic choice not an either/or one.
for some people this entity/mode of consciousness comes from “without” as a god/plant entity/angelic being/daemon/disembodied intelligence/the overmind/gaia/alien other/valis/ecco” and for some it comes from “within” as “the higher self”,the individuated self/the self-actualised self/the self-meta programmer.
In the end, it matters little what explanatory principle we invoke, its what we do with the knowledge we gain from this special mode of consciousness, does it allow us to treat ourselves and others with more compassion and love ? – because if not, it matters not how “it” chooses to present itself : as a disembodied voice/as an “entity”, or as a field of information.

Personally i agree with the irish guy, who when asked “do you believe in fairies?” – replied “no i do not,but i doubt whether they believe in me either.”

Yoh Chris, connected as ever. Recently, I had a few moments of UTTER despair. During one of them, I reached out to John (my dead hubby) for help.

DEAR Fellow recoverers & Iboga discussants and researchers,

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this one yet.. but browsing through all the newspapers yesterday, I found 3 coverages of the fact that one of our famous actresses 2 yr old accidentally popped a small part of a tab of E and is perfectly fine.

I was in the ‘senior common room’ at school (place for posh VIPs, I think: i go there cos I’m trying to chat a few of them into doing a DPReform gig, and to read – it’s quiet there) Anyways, reading the articles, I burst out laughing and went into a little-gal peel of giggles and the VIP professor over there was giving me that kinda, oh-she’s-just-another-local-nut-look!

And this is an important event; the details are a little scant at the moment, but if a 2 yr old can take a little E and be fine, what does that say about MDMA after all?

Howz Karina? Anyone know?

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

Dear all, (I’m not sure if this is a convo between Chris and Jon or whomever,) but i guess this is less important than what is being said here…maybe.

Anyways, just to say that I recently discovered Ephedrine over the counter as a diet pill; now look b4 any of U get weird ideas about me, I am fat but I am not into taking drugs to get smaller. HOWEVER, i discovered the most wonderful thing about this med – IT HELPS ME BREATHE. IT HELPS ME BREATHE. IT HELPS ME BREATHE. Er, think I’ve made my point!
I have been an asthmatic since 1964, almost all my life. I was given pure adrenalin when i was wee, and have taken huge amounts of other drugs – including steroids – to keep me alive for all these years. In July 2000, Mar 2001 and Aug 2002, I nearly died from asthma attacks… this has not happened to me since I was a little gal; i’m not sure what life/body stresses caused these nr death experiences, but I do know that this ephedrine works well for me, AND I don’t have to take any of the steroid (or hardly any,) anymore. Steroids have several side-ffects which are nasty, one of which, I believe is, osteoporosis in women of my age and upwatds..(thinning of the bones.)

And Eph. is psychoactive and addictive, so then I had to do a harm reduction evaluation on myself: could i cope with a little bit of addiction, which gives me energy (desp. needed) and keeps my breathing going, even if i’m readdicted AND it has a huge financial cost.

My doc was opposed completely, but since she has been so neglectful of me, who cares? She didn’t even wanna hear that it was helping me to breathe without all the junk-meds she was giving me… and it is NOT contraindicted with any other meds I take for other things.

[1 pharmaceutical co V another – that’s all.]

IMPORTANT thing is that I NEVER take more than 80mgs of Eph/day – so controlled addiction, or what is more commonly known as responsible self-medication. TG it’s legal!

Am really appreciating all the e-s about intelligence and emotion and what they are. Learning tons from y’all as usual

Thanx a million

No, ephedrine is a naturally occuring chemical, it is the primary
psychoactive constituent of ephedra (like morphine to opium). I experience
the shakes and anxiety whether I take the whole herb, or the
extracted ephedrine; leading me to believe that it is the ephedrine which
causes the reaction (as opposed to some other chemical found in the whole
herb).

I would imagine that the reason that pseudoephedrine doesn’t have this
effect on me is that it is less potent than ephedrine, but what confuses
the matter is that more potent stimulants (e.g. methamphetamine and
cocaine) don’t cause this reaction in me…

Here’s an extremely interesting view of intelligence given to me by sort of
a modern day philosopher. The genius is someone who is in touch with
something called ‘the daimos.’  This is the part of him/herself that is
able to relate to and sync with God/theGoddess/The force. When you have
found you’re own daimos, it opens up somekind of doorway through which all
the universe’s energies, or whatever you’d like to call it, comes rushing
through your mind. Anyone who has been reborn can testify to this; it’s an
energy rush that suddenly gives you new sites, new views, scores of new
thought dimensions. His theory is that anyone who finds this daimos,
through ibogaine, drugs, their own soul-searching, whatever, also finds
greater intelligence. I always think of those singers who people say have a
lot of soul, when I think of this definition. You don’t see great singers
of soul sitting around writing books on fuzzy logic. But you listen to
them, and hear that daimos coming out of them, and their way of singing
reaches parts of your mind that have been touched and that you never even
knew were there.

I guess this is very much a sceptical drug users perspective, but what U describe above, I usually put down to natural chemicals running around my body. If I had the time to prove myself wrong though, I’d be really happy

I have been very disapointed in last few days with the conversations on

They have been intelligent and with people talking to each other instead

I’m going to go find some NA groups now and tell them that everyone on

That should liven it up.

“Any system of liberation works only once,for each individual”.
if anyone has a copy of “zen without zen masters” on falcon press
they can find the proper quote which i have probably fucked up – but
you get the gist –
patrick is absolutely spot on, take what you find useful and
actually checks out in the light of your own experience and throw
away what doesn’t.
the MAP(any formalised ideology,or more charitably, any methodology
that purports to have THE ANSWER) IS NOT the TERRITORY(the actual
lived experience of freedom from addiction) as General Semantics
never tires of pointing out, with good reason.
Some maps/models/masks are more useful than others, just be wary of
the ones that have all the answers and remember, some approaches may
work for you at one time and be completely useless at others – dont
throw the baby out with the bathwater as they say – example : i
spent six months in a phoenix house over here in the UK engaged in
intensive transactional analysis therapy – delving into my primary
belief programming – i came out and promptly relapsed within a week
– but the stuff i learned about myself was so fucking useful,
especially in making sense of the contents of my two ibogaine
experiences. – so don’t disregard anything – a guy i know goes to NA
once a month to “dump his shit” as he puts it and gets on with his
life the rest of the time – it works for him, so who am i to judge.
Its been a week since my second ibogaine treatment and my strategy
for staying opiate/cocaine free this time around involves listening
to lots of detroit techno,staying clear of my friends who are still
addicted,go swimming,ingest lots of melatonin, dlpa and choline/b
complex vitamins,look after my neglected cat and re-read the works
of robert anton wilson/john c.lilly/christopher Hyatt/burroughs “the
job” and actually do the brain change exercises they suggest and
most importantly as the master of neurologic, aliester crowley said
:”do not lust after results”.the process is everything.
I’ll keep you posted of my progress.

Read any P. K. Dick? Sounds like the writers yr into are in that zone.

Gimme the damned gold star!

Haven’t you heard…NA and AA are great! They’re the ONLY WAY…for
some folks.  They really believe it because it is the only way for them
and it works. So they promote it…largely because the whole
drug-treatment field was founded upon Bill W., AA, NA, the 12-steps, and
a bunch of lay-recovery “experts.”  Other approaches are the
competitors…who sell junk, of course, because they “know” their
product is the only one that works.

The “market,”  so to speak, is bereft of any major competitors because
“This is the way,” is the accepted mantra that convinces people to go
“buy” the product.  Sort of like the Microsoft machine.  They’re the big
boy…they make half-way decent JUNK.  Lots of people love it. It’s
still junk.  People are convinced that this junk is the only thing they
can slap on their machine…and for many, this is likely true…so for
them, it works great, and they find great benefit therein. It’s a
market-whore.  For the majority who buy their junk and put it on their
computers, it meets the need very well.  Never mind the blue screen of
death that requires you to reboot once or twice per day.  For stability,
security, etc., go with Sun Microsystems or some other alternative.  The
Microsoft grunt is going to tell you, go with W2K…hold off on
XP…because it works pretty good for the most part.  They aren’t likely
to pull out the Sun catalog and recommend you buy someone elses product.
They work for the Empire, and the Empire works for them.

Speaking of data, a review of my caseload shows that of my 46 folks, 23
of them have been stable and drug-free for 3 or more years.  Only 2 or 3
of them go to NA or 12-step meetings.

Rick,

I’m very sorry to tell you this, but alas, you do NOT qualify for the
dented gold star of Treatment Pimp.  I’m afraid you’re one of the
exceptions.

As far as treatment and the 12-step material goes; I have a negative
reaction to all of it, which is mostly emotional.  When I write shit,
I
usually try to at least partially balance it out in some way, in the
addiction series, I co-wrote a piece with Dave, who was at the time,
working the steps; and still might be, I dunno ‘zactly.

The 12-steps are extremely old, eastern concepts for dismantling ego,
re-written specifically for drug-dependant individuals who are
acclimated
to western culture.

That’s the steps.  Where people in thA ro0mZ have taken all this; tends
to
be way the fuck out there.

As far as both the steps and treatment goes, in my personal
observations
and experiences, I have seen both work out for people.  It just depends
on
the person.

There is no one answer that is correct for everyone.  And for some
people
who would NEVER break the cycle of drug-dependance using the standard
treatment and stepwork paradigms — such as, fer instance, ME — I find
it
absolutely fucking disgusting that an entire industry thrives on
selling
this bullshit as the ONLY way that works.

That just ain’t true.  Stating this is at best, ignorance.  At worst;
total fucking hypocrisy.  And the bottom line is: IT KILLS PEOPLE who
don’t have the opportunity to break out of that, and find their own
truth.

Having been at the receiving end of this shit, I uhm, have some
problems
with the whole entire scenario.

In closing, I do not believe that treatment is always inappropriate
and
the stepwork completely ineffective.  There are a lotta people with a
variety of reasons for entering treatment, that have more to do with
legal
issues, and what others want from them; who DO make progress in spite
of
themselves, when dumped into paradigms that would absolutely not work
for
others.

Statistics and studies are…  WhateverTheFuck.  You can spin the data
in
any direction you want, to support any theory imaginable.  From what
I’ve
personally seen: sumtimes shit works out, sumtimes it don’t.  <shrug>
There are no absolutes, pro or con.

Pretty much I agree with what Paul said; different things, for
different
people, at different times.  The only single variable which is NOT
interchangeable is that YOU *must* do the work; whatever it happens to
be.

better than it is.  Sad, but true, every counselor in this building
(even the new guy) openly admits that it would absolutely suck to have

Hey…go easy on us “treatment pimps.”  I like the disease
model…insofar as we’re talking about neurological changes, learning
(neurochemical encoding), up-regulation of Dopamine sensitivity, etc.  I
don’t buy into the “stuck with this for life” crap.  I know plenty of
people who are cured, who were straigh out banging dope every day in the
sixties and seventies.  They changed.  They no longer have cravings, any
problems with relapse, nor do they go to “the rooms.”  Some people will
respond better to the “disease” model.  Others will not.  Whatever it is
that enables your biological material to re-adapt, and for the required
neurophysiological changes to take place…is what the answer is.

Unfortunately, most “treatment pimps” (60%) are former users who “found
the one true God” of AA or NA.  It worked for them, and the thinking
goes just as Patrick indicated…I was once one of you…everyone is
basically like me (or should be)…so you need to meet my god as well.
It’s not so much that they “know everything about nothing,” but that
they know what worked for them and they tend to be as rigid in their
thinking as a new convert to the holy faith of whatever it is that geeks
them up.  The basis of their reality is in their personality…most
often the SJ, the Sensing Judger…these are your box-thinking grunts,
who will excel with programs of rigid structure.  Whichever approach
works is probably doing the same sorst of things neurologically.

…just a few words to let you know there really are some half-way
decent treatment pimps out there.  They’re hard to find.  Too often, it
all boils down to playing cops and robbers.

Hum . . . How do I say this…  Thinking . . . Okay, try to think of
most
addictionologists as a Christian Missionary Zealots who run around
trying
to convert the natives to the one true path, and sells trinkets and
things.  They are COMPLETELY FILLED with sumthin’ or another; and want
to
spread it around.

Fortunately, if you actually have belief and faith, in almost
anything;
it’s not contagious.  It’s just very confusing…  As to why anyone
would
want to fill their head with all that.

And really that’s okay, because there’s nothing wrong with
Christianity.
The point at which it becomes a problem is when people attempt to
inflict
this shit on you and CasT out tha Dem0nZ!  Even if it kills you.  Or,
you
made friends with your demons, because an entire pantheon spins
through
your headspace.

Over the course of trying to get unsprung and move out of
drug-dependence,
many of us have had these people arrive with all this noise, deliver
lectures such as, “you must do it this way, or you will die!”  And
then
attempt to indoctrinate you into their belief system no matter what.

There’s nothing wrong with the 12-steps.  There’s nothing wrong with
the
Flat Earth Society either; it just doesn’t suit my needs.  And if my
reason for even being in contact with these people was seeking help
for
that problem I usta have with bangin’ up dope.  It’s not very funny
anymore.

Those of us who have managed to break the cycle and crawl out of hell
on
our own, and were exposed to these idiots in our faces at one point or
another; tend to have a violent psychotic reaction to hearing their
cliches, slogans, and affirmations.  A reaction that would be lacking
in
someone who has not suffered emotional abuse from them.

Addictionologists tend to be experts at this little fantasy world they
live in; which granted is JUST FINE, if you want to join them there.
A
program of attraction not promotion.  Take what you find useful and
leave
the rest…  Except, the way things work out, it’s more of a program
of
coercion and harassment.  And being dumped into this cult is what
passes
for “drug treatment.”

Most “drug treatment professionals” — by which I mean to say
Treatment
Pimps  — I’ve been in contact with don’t know a fucking thing about
addiction, and are unwilling to listen or learn, because they already
know
everything about nothing; and their entire persona, identity, and means
of
leeching cash offa drug dependent individuals, revolves around selling
the
completely iatrogenic “mysterious disease” of addiction.  Anything
that
conflicts with this belief system is perceived as threatening.

The exceptions to that rule tend to, uhm, have a life.  By which I
mean
some sort of happiness, peace, contentment; as opposed to the rest who
have pretty much set fire to most of that repeatedly, and are left
with…
a mysterious disease; which they want to sell you.

And okay, I understand, you’re acting this way because basically, your
life sucks.  Bummer n’ all, but I’m already an expert at completely
fucking up my life; I don’t really need any help with that.

Additionology Today, the complete summary: I used to smoke crack or
bang
dope — I will now spend at least 20 minutes telling war stories of
how
fucked up I used to be, and the depths I sunk to in my pursuit of drugs

and then I joined a cult.  You can too.  The End.  That’ll be $450
dollars.  Try to catch some meetings and share, you’ll feel better.

That’s pretty much it.  Toss in, “I used to be just like you,” and/or
“I
understand completely,” with extra-bonus points thrown in for faking
sincerity and giving a good delivery.

And this is NOT true of everybody.  It’s just that for every
exception,
there are 1001 sub-normal, low IQ idiots, who inflict psychological
damages on people as part of their control and ego-trip.  None of this
shit has anything whatsoever to do with “helping” anyone.  Although
they
DO help some people.  In the process of helping some, they do damage to
at
least as many, by filling their heads with nonsense about how their
inability to get in tune with this cult, has anything whatsoever to do
with stepping out of drug-dependence.

Whatever, I’m done venting.  For now anyway.

As far as SMART goes, I dunno, I’ve never done it.  But many people
appear
to have extremely positive things to say about it, and scanning their
web
site, I don’t see any mention of an imaginary disease, mysterious
forces
beyond human comprehension, or Joining a Cult 101 materials; so check
it
out if ya don’t like the 12-step noise.

Erica,

Congratulations on your preparation for a big change in your life. Hear

this:  It is not going to be easy.  Ibogaine is the shit for opiate
dependence and you are going to get off your habit without most of the

nastiness and with dignity.  What happens next is what is difficult.
Don’t
expect that you instantly won’t want to dope just because you had this
crazy
trip on iboga.  You are going to have to work on yourself and be
vigilant
against picking up again.  I watch a lot of people go through this
treatment.  The ones who succeed take a realistic approach.  The ones
who
fall back into using expect that being clean, once they detox, is going
to
be easy. wrong.  Doing dope is easy.

The others have giving you some good advice. Check out SMART recovery
it is
a great program that is designed to be tailored to the individual. It
is not
a life long commitment either.  The goal is you use their program for 3

months to a year or so and then you put addiction behind you.  Smart
recovery is a not-for-profit entity as opposed to Rational Recovery.
RR has
a few great ideas and you can find them in Jack Trimpey’s “the small

Don’t bother entering a residential treatment center either.  The

Subject: [ibogaine] what happens right after ibogaine?
Date: Sun, 06 Oct 2002 08:00:32 -1000

Hi I’ve been reading this list for a while and think this is
a great place.

I’m 25 and I’ve been doing heroin since I was 18 and lately
mostly oxy’s. I will be doing ibogaine in a month and I have
some questions for anyone who can answer please.

I have never done any drug treatment or the aftercare before
but reading what’s online in places and in this group nearly
all of you have gone through some of that or a lot of that,
but mostly none of you are doing it now to stay clean and
had bad experiences with it.

I was wondering what some of you do or did to stay clean
right after ibogaine? Should I expect it to be very hard or
does the desire to stop using just go away? I’ve read about
the last month and a half of this list and I’ve read
Patrick’s articles and writings which are like wow, do you
want to get some coffee and talk, are you single? 😉 What I
mean is you’re a really smart weirdo who’s cute and wow can
you write! I read some of it and it’s you’re writing a acid
trip, how the f**k do you do that? And where do I get
whatever drugs you’ve done! 😉

But what I mean is I’m interested and attracted by what you
are and what you say but at the same time I have to be real
and admit I have not the slightest idea what you’re talking
about most of the time.

I know some of you here are doing all that too but I’m much
more interested in knowing what happens a week after
ibogaine? a month? I’ve read enough here to believe it works
and cleans you up but then what do I do? I hate the groups,
are there any different or better groups or anything.

What I mean to say is some of you have progressed a long way
from being on heroin and gone to much different places but
what were all of you who made it and are clean years later,
doing a week after you got off heroin and did ibogaine! And
a month after. That exactly is my question.

Thank you!

erica

“Any system of liberation works only once,for each individual”.
if anyone has a copy of “zen without zen masters” on falcon press they can find the proper quote which i have probably fucked up – but you get the gist –
patrick is absolutely spot on, take what you find useful and actually checks out in the light of your own experience and throw away what doesn’t.
the MAP(any formalised ideology,or more charitably, any methodology
that purports to have THE ANSWER) IS NOT the TERRITORY(the actual lived experience of freedom from addiction) as General Semantics never tires of pointing out, with good reason.
Some maps/models/masks are more useful than others, just be wary of the ones that have all the answers and remember, some approaches may work for you at one time and be completely useless at others – dont throw the baby out with the bathwater as they say – example : i spent six months in a phoenix house over here in the UK engaged in intensive transactional analysis therapy – delving into my primary belief programming – i came out and promptly relapsed within a week – but the stuff i learned about myself was so fucking useful, especially in making sense of the contents of my two ibogaine experiences. – so don’t disregard anything – a guy i know goes to NA once a month to “dump his shit” as he puts it and gets on with his life the rest of the time – it works for him, so who am i to judge.
Its been a week since my second ibogaine treatment and my strategy for staying opiate/cocaine free this time around involves listening to lots of detroit techno,staying clear of my friends who are still addicted,go swimming,ingest lots of melatonin, dlpa and choline/b complex vitamins,look after my neglected cat and re-read the works of robert anton wilson/john c.lilly/christopher Hyatt/burroughs “the job” and actually do the brain change exercises they suggest and most importantly as the master of neurologic, aliester crowley said :”do not lust after results”.the process is everything.
I’ll keep you posted of my progress.

Do0d, you’ve smooshed a whole buncha stuff into all that up there.  I
understand whatcha meant, but to pull one thing out of it, and clarify:
ibogaine ABSOLUTELY WILL get you unsprung.  Period.  That part is not
random and all over the map.  What happens afterwards IS, and depends a
lot upon YOU.

Some people can maintain, most people need SOME KIND of aftercare or
support.  What exactly that might be, also depends on the individual.

Kurt had a stomach ailment, suffered from feelings of malaise and ennui,
and was very depressed.  He was just self-medicating mahn.  I’m sure he
didn’t actually like heroin.

I had my second ibogaine treatment last week – for opiate addiction – extremely succesful.
My friend however who i did the first ibogaine treatment with, doesnt want to get retreated in one sitting.He has heard of a different treatment modality that involves taking small daily doses of HCL (ammount unknown)
along with decreasing ammounts of opiates (i presume) until the “interrupter effect” kicks in – anyone know anything about this ?
He has 1500mg of HCL to play with and whilst i want him to do the ibogaine in one go i must respect his wishes.
So if anyone knows anything about this or can point to anything published on the net, i would be grateful.

<You too…?  I always try to chill, and then it BURSTS OUT again.>

Hum . . . How do I say this…  Thinking . . . Okay, try to think of most
addictionologists as a Christian Missionary Zealots who run around trying
to convert the natives to the one true path, and sells trinkets and
things.  They are COMPLETELY FILLED with sumthin’ or another; and want to
spread it around.

Fortunately, if you actually have belief and faith, in almost anything;
it’s not contagious.  It’s just very confusing…  As to why anyone would
want to fill their head with all that.

And really that’s okay, because there’s nothing wrong with Christianity.
The point at which it becomes a problem is when people attempt to inflict
this shit on you and CasT out tha Dem0nZ!  Even if it kills you.  Or, you
made friends with your demons, because an entire pantheon spins through
your headspace.

Over the course of trying to get unsprung and move out of drug-dependence,
many of us have had these people arrive with all this noise, deliver
lectures such as, “you must do it this way, or you will die!”  And then
attempt to indoctrinate you into their belief system no matter what.

There’s nothing wrong with the 12-steps.  There’s nothing wrong with the
Flat Earth Society either; it just doesn’t suit my needs.  And if my
reason for even being in contact with these people was seeking help for
that problem I usta have with bangin’ up dope.  It’s not very funny
anymore.

Those of us who have managed to break the cycle and crawl out of hell on
our own, and were exposed to these idiots in our faces at one point or
another; tend to have a violent psychotic reaction to hearing their
cliches, slogans, and affirmations.  A reaction that would be lacking in
someone who has not suffered emotional abuse from them.

Addictionologists tend to be experts at this little fantasy world they
live in; which granted is JUST FINE, if you want to join them there.  A
program of attraction not promotion.  Take what you find useful and leave
the rest…  Except, the way things work out, it’s more of a program of
coercion and harassment.  And being dumped into this cult is what passes
for “drug treatment.”

Most “drug treatment professionals” — by which I mean to say Treatment
Pimps  — I’ve been in contact with don’t know a fucking thing about
addiction, and are unwilling to listen or learn, because they already know
everything about nothing; and their entire persona, identity, and means of
leeching cash offa drug dependent individuals, revolves around selling the
completely iatrogenic “mysterious disease” of addiction.  Anything that
conflicts with this belief system is perceived as threatening.

The exceptions to that rule tend to, uhm, have a life.  By which I mean
some sort of happiness, peace, contentment; as opposed to the rest who
have pretty much set fire to most of that repeatedly, and are left with…
a mysterious disease; which they want to sell you.

And okay, I understand, you’re acting this way because basically, your
life sucks.  Bummer n’ all, but I’m already an expert at completely
fucking up my life; I don’t really need any help with that.

Additionology Today, the complete summary: I used to smoke crack or bang
dope — I will now spend at least 20 minutes telling war stories of how
fucked up I used to be, and the depths I sunk to in my pursuit of drugs —
and then I joined a cult.  You can too.  The End.  That’ll be $450
dollars.  Try to catch some meetings and share, you’ll feel better.

That’s pretty much it.  Toss in, “I used to be just like you,” and/or “I
understand completely,” with extra-bonus points thrown in for faking
sincerity and giving a good delivery.

And this is NOT true of everybody.  It’s just that for every exception,
there are 1001 sub-normal, low IQ idiots, who inflict psychological
damages on people as part of their control and ego-trip.  None of this
shit has anything whatsoever to do with “helping” anyone.  Although they
DO help some people.  In the process of helping some, they do damage to at
least as many, by filling their heads with nonsense about how their
inability to get in tune with this cult, has anything whatsoever to do
with stepping out of drug-dependence.

Whatever, I’m done venting.  For now anyway.

As far as SMART goes, I dunno, I’ve never done it.  But many people appear
to have extremely positive things to say about it, and scanning their web
site, I don’t see any mention of an imaginary disease, mysterious forces
beyond human comprehension, or Joining a Cult 101 materials; so check it
out if ya don’t like the 12-step noise.

Erica,

Congratulations on your preparation for a big change in your life. Hear this:  It is not going to be easy.  Ibogaine is the shit for opiate dependence and you are going to get off your habit without most of the nastiness and with dignity.  What happens next is what is difficult.  Don’t expect that you instantly won’t want to dope just because you had this crazy trip on iboga.  You are going to have to work on yourself and be vigilant against picking up again.  I watch a lot of people go through this treatment.  The ones who succeed take a realistic approach.  The ones who fall back into using expect that being clean, once they detox, is going to be easy. wrong.  Doing dope is easy.

The others have giving you some good advice. Check out SMART recovery it is a great program that is designed to be tailored to the individual.

Methadone matenence was not ever “very awful” for me, it was actually a little liberating for me. It was also a hassle, a drag, and tiring after a while. But I personally got what I needed and wanted from it, and moved on.

When I was younger, it was important to me to make a lot of money.  As I have gotten older (I am 52 now), it just does not matter that much any more.  I have a modest house that is mostly paid off and I can make my utility bills each month. Not much (if any) left over at the end of the month.

But as I have gotten older, knocking my self out working and making tons of cash is less and less appealing.  I would much rather be with little extra money and spend the time in my backyard reading a book, gardening or just hanging in the hood with my home boys.

To me may friends are important.  Not making sure I have enough money for a RV, a second house at the beach, or gold chains on my neck.

The bottom line for me is that the older I get the less important money is, and the important things in life are friendships and lovers. It took me about 40 years to learn this.  I am a slow learner.

Looking at the long term graphs Mindvox hovers between 13,000 and 18,000 if
you opened it, it’d be in the top 1,000 in about a month.

Ibogaine sites that you run

ibogaine.net: 207,142
ibogaine-research: 332,385

Ibogaine sites you promote:

ibogaine.org 243,665
ibogaine.co.uk 536,768

Ibogaine sites you don’t promote are nearly dead.

healingvisions.com around 2 millionth. Read by nobody.
ibogainetreatment.com over 1 millionth.
ibogainetreatment.net over 1 millionth.

ibogaine-therapy.net: 451,880 somebody is promoting this on their own in
some way and buying placement on search engines. The hit rate is very low
but moderate for a ibogaine site.

What all this says is yes dot com is gone and all of you can sit and cry
about it for another 5 years. The internet isn’t gone and you have one big
counter-culture gathering spot here which is past almost everything that has
actual content. All of these sites that are anywhere near you sell things.
None of the lists and email is counted in your hit rate, it’s only people
connecting to Mindvox. There is nothing on Mindvox except your writing and a
psychedelic web site.

A smart group of people would open the stupid thing and start making deals
with other counter-culture groups, start their own ibogaine detox, promote
alternative recovery md’s who aren’t treatment pimps and start making a lot
of money.

I know you write Patrick, but show your hit rate to your agent or any
publisher and your book is sold. I don’t know what any of you do the rest of
the time because you could be making a nice income instead of whatever it is
that you think you’re doing.

Whilst the situation over here in the UK is somewhat different in relation to methadone clinics – you at least dont have to pay for the privledge of being fucked over,humiliated,degraded,dehumanized with the daily sword of enforced detox hanging over your head on a daily basis, over here we get it for free.
Having said that, structurally its the same and its all about power and control as Howard said and whilst we all want to see a humanised system of methadone maintainance on a global basis, in the here and now its about choosing whether you want to put up with that shit, because there are alternatives.
Ive kicked methadone twice, the first involved getting shot up with naloxone four days in a row with a recovery spanning months.
The second time involved ibogaine ten months ago with a recovery time of days and i havent touched the shit since…and yeah i did get readdicted to smack but six days ago i re-treated myself with ibogaine for the second time and i feel fucking great.
There are always choices…..

methadone maintenence is very awful.

it is not the result of heroin use but the WOD.

I think people like to confuse people they admire with the drugs they do. Doing heroin will not make you the next keith richards or william burroughs. doing heroin then doing ibogaine and lsd will not make you the next patrick 😉

doing all those things will only make you dead, in prison, or having nervous breakdown. If you very lucky maybe Kurt Cobain before all that happens 😉

Strength and hope to all of us who fight this fight.

Brilliance and madness go together, I’m sure Mindvox will finally open and everything here will have even more exposre. I have a new appreciation of everything here. And much respect for ibogaine and those of you here who represent it.

All I know of heroin addiction is from books and films, where artists take inspiration from their pain. Those links are nothing but a lot of darkness and people suffering. No magic happening there.

If anything I’d say Patrick and what’s on Mindvox adds glamor to heroin and drug use by transforming life into art. No piece of writing or music inspired by drug use has ever depressed me, because wherever it came from it came out art. If you ever want to scare people about what heroin addiction can do to their lives just show them the people on those links.

Don’t want to take up more space showing how naive I am about heroin addiction, but that was depressing. No that was very depressing.

What you’ve written out is close to my experiences in the worst clinics I’ve been to, I can’t say all of them have been this bad. I’ve always lived between SF and Palo Alto and there are many clinics that are not bad in this area.

Aren’t you a regional director of NAMA or some representative of NAMA? And doesn’t NAMA have some way of dealing with these problems when they are brought up? Or is there no recognized way in which to handle legitimate grievances?

I never entered the politics of methadone I took my doses and got out of there and was only sorry I had to keep going back there every week instead of just seeing a doctor and getting a prescription like I would for any other medication. I didn’t have the interest in getting involved because I always knew I wanted to get out of there much more then change the system.

I’m off these messages after this one but looking things up. Here’s where Mindvox is right now.

http://www.alexa.com/data/details?amzn_id=&url=mindvox.com

15,544 Mindvox

Running down a list of some of the sites you link that have hundreds of pages of content.

http://www.alexa.com/data/details?amzn_id=&url=eff.org

18,244 EFF

http://www.alexa.com/data/details?amzn_id=&url=herointimes.com

14,559 High Times magazine.

NA 83,921
AA: 50,991
Smart: 352,920
Rational: 268,945

Looking at the long term graphs Mindvox hovers between 13,000 and 18,000 if you opened it, it’d be in the top 1,000 in about a month.

Ibogaine sites that you run

ibogaine.net: 207,142
ibogaine-research: 332,385

Ibogaine sites you promote:

ibogaine.org 243,665
ibogaine.co.uk 536,768

Ibogaine sites you don’t promote are nearly dead.

healingvisions.com around 2 millionth. Read by nobody.
ibogainetreatment.com over 1 millionth.
ibogainetreatment.net over 1 millionth.

ibogaine-therapy.net: 451,880 somebody is promoting this on their own in some way and buying placement on search engines. The hit rate is very low but moderate for a ibogaine site.

What all this says is yes dot com is gone and all of you can sit and cry about it for another 5 years. The internet isn’t gone and you have one big counter-culture gathering spot here which is past almost everything that has actual content. All of these sites that are anywhere near you sell things. None of the lists and email is counted in your hit rate, it’s only people connecting to Mindvox. There is nothing on Mindvox except your writing and a psychedelic web site.

A smart group of people would open the stupid thing and start making deals with other counter-culture groups, start their own ibogaine detox, promote alternative recovery md’s who aren’t treatment pimps and start making a lot of money.

I know you write Patrick, but show your hit rate to your agent or any publisher and your book is sold. I don’t know what any of you do the rest of the time because you could be making a nice income instead of whatever it is that you think you’re doing.

I don’t understand it. All of you are very smart, brilliant even. What are you doing. What do you think you’re doing?

I think what Patrick did , Going to an Ashram , can work for many people ,
going to a Kibbutz in Israel is also a good alternative and cheap ,
people are kind in those places and have no judgment about your past  .
but you’ll need to work ,it will not come to you gratis ,

there ,

What happens right after ibogaine is you’re clean and remember how high
you can get when you’re clean.

I think you’re doing what a lot of people do and trying to follow what
patrick does which would work if he starts a real commune or whatever around
his cult of personality. Otherwise you should read what he says about
addiction which is completely different then what’s on Mindvox and doesn’t
include everything else in his head.

What he’s written about addiction is great material. Another place that
has great material is SMART and Rational Recovery. The 12 step mindfuck
groupthink abuse and addiction treatment shit doesn’t work for most people
who have a IQ over 85. What they don’t ever say is that it’s impossible for
a really smart person to listen to really stupid treatment pimps for long.
Never worked out for me either.

That’s getting clean, following Patrick is something else and out of
whatever he’s doing I don’t think starting a real cult has happened yet. But
good luck go study abnormal psych for 10 years and it still won’t make
sense. Forget Patrick just use Mindvox for a example. It’s a brilliant site
completely filled with a online acid trip. It has nearly no content and all
vibes. It has a hit rate that is unreal for a site that is never fully open.
The site could be fully open in a week if they used perl, scoop, php,
anything at all except this insanely complex object oriented technology
called webobjects. Apple invented webobjects and if you take a look at
Apple’s own message boards you’ll notice they are running php and have given
up on webobjects, not so Mindvox. Other then patrick there is Bruce who is
some group herder leader 12 step world service living example of how great
the 12 steps are which is how he cleaned up and a outspoken supporter
of………. George Bush. Drew Ros
s I think cleaned up by going to prison and lives in rave clubs that fly
him around to do art. I don’t know anything about the ieee guy or Evan.

The question would be what are any of these people doing hanging around
together, how have they managed to not kill each other after 10 years or
more of that, what do any of them think they’re doing because with a site
that has the hit rate of Mindvox you can throw all the stupid ibogaine and
melting banners shit in the trashcan and start making some real money
instead of promoting every psychotic who needs meds and attaches to Mindvox
instead of that. Or if you’re going to promote ibogaine then throw all that
shit in the trashcan anyway and open your own ibogaine detox because you’ve
got more people hitting this then almost anything. And you’re doing it with
no content which is amazing. Sell something already, all of you are
brilliant idiots.

In the end who knows. Everything I said has been said already and is being
said on the other lists and irc where Drew sits and bags on Bruce taking
years to get it together when everything could work in a week. I’m very
smart too and I don’t have the faintest idea what anybody involved with
Mindvox thinks they’re doing.

OTOH if I were going to bet on one person staying clean 5 or 10 years down
the line. I’d bet it all on Patrick.

Try SMART or Rational Recovery and avoid the 12-step and treatment pimp
route. This is what helped me very much.

What happened to personal rights etc.  Or does being an addict mean that it gets thrown out the door and we are obviously less than the average person out there. The situation you describe is stink but also familiar to a lot of people on methadone.
It certainly doesn’t encourage anyone to seek help or give the programme any good recommendations.  Allison

It hasn’t been banned yet, but Di-hydrogen Monoxide use has been heavily
restricted in this area.  Authorities are evidently wising up to the
dangers of this substance…much to the consternation of my cucumbers
and tomatoes.

I can’t really see where there’s an ibogaine alternative in the works
for Nebraska. The system there just has such a bad attitude, that
they’d never believe it was possible, so there’s no point in trying
to explain it to them. In fact, I would recommend that you not even
to tell anyone that such a thing exists, because the very idea would
enrage them to the point that you would arrested on some pretext and
locked up like a terrorist.

You’d think that for a state with a methamphetamine problem like
Nebraska, they’d listen. But no– obviously they’re totally hostile
to the medical marijuana needs of ex-drug-users who have to ingest a
nauseating cocktail of AIDS drugs. It’s reflexive. And that reflex
would be triggered by Ibogaine. Presumably much more strongly, since
Ibogaine is many times stronger than cannabis. The idea of an 36 hr
trip the primary purpose of which is to stabilize people on medical
marijuana who can’t do protease inhibitors because they “eat up”
their methadone must drive the treatment nazis there nuts.

This sounds borderline criminal. The new regulations specifically address the issue of obtaining UA’s in a non-degrading manner.  You might want to organize and form a patient advocacy group, and/or contact state authorities…put up a ruckus til it stinketh to high heaven.  Our clinic used to do observed UA’s, and our clinical director didn’t have any problem with people having to “drop trou” all the way to their ankles (for men suspected of diverting) and having women squat instead of sitting so the nurses could observe the stream.  Despite my complaining and pointing out the new regs on obtaining specimens in a non-degrading way, she and the nurses just didn’t see it.  Once I did some homework, the alternate approach of obtaining Oral Mucosa specimens was found to be about the same price (actually a bit cheaper…around $9 per specimen), they responded to the $$$ incentive and the “less hassle for me,” approach.

The oral swab (thru Bendiner & Schlesinger) would solve problems 1 and 2.  Not providing medication for inability to provide a UA has GOT to be illegal. Organize. Bitch and complain.  This is absolutely inhumane.

#3…you’ve got a better way of it than we in this area.  We test for THC as well. But positives result in automatic loss of TH privileges…then the person has to re-earn their former #  of TH’s.  After months of pointing out how screwed up this was…especially in light of the first test results being immunoassay…I finally managed to win over the staff to allow people to hold on to medication while the GC/MS was being done on the specimen. This buys them another week or two (and has come back negative in a number of instances)

#4 sounds pretty typical of most clinics.  I advocated for, and actually got, a “Wall of Remembrance” bulletin board, for people to memorialize people who suffer from addiction that passed away (for whatever reason).  First Name and Last initial only for confidentiality reasons, or Obituaries, with a statement at the bottom of the board indicating that those posted have simply passed away and were not necessarily a drug user or a former patient at the clinic.

#5…If run the right way…and clinical staff members in said programs would recognize their role as one of helping people reclaim their lives, and understand the neurological changes that take place due to long-term opiate use, things can change for the better.  Unfortunately, there are too many people working in methadone programs who are biased against the “scumbags” that they are there to help and merely see themselves as an extension of law enforcement as opposed to TREATMENT PROFESSIONALS, and get caught up in the drama of playing “cat and mouse.”

I highly encourage you to pursue patient advocacy. Likewise, a read through the new regs, and a few phone calls to state methadone authorities.

Thanks for the input, and good luck in the battle against ignorance.

At the Board of Directors meeting for the National Alliance of Methadone
Advocates I was handed a copy of Andria Mordaunt’s The Users Voice, a
newsletter of current and former drug users.  In it was a CD called Going
Over which was a really slick piece of important information/presentaiton on
overdoses and also included a guided tour of cardio pulmonary resuscitation.

Every Ibogaine provider should get a copy of this CD as knowledge of cardio
pulmonary resuscitation was discussed as an issue of concern to ibogaine
providers during the editorial exchanges which resulted in the Ibogaine
Manual, First Revision, http://www.ibogaine.org/manual.html

Andria can you let people know how to get copies of the CD or possibly
ibogaine providers who are interested can request the contact information or
a CD from Andria.

Preston also had an article in the issue of The User’s Voice (#17) on the
Million Marijuana March arrests in New York during the May 2002 event.

Perhaps I am just a dim bulb, blinking weakly in the darkness, but
correct me if I’m wrong.

I seem to recall that a number of years ago I read a few articles about
the Taliban being the best thing that ever happened in Afghanistan in
terms of repression and subjugation.  They were anti-booze, anti-opium,
anti-everything to such a degree that opium production was severely
curtailed.  When they became public enemy #1, they were suddenly the
world’s major supplier of Heroin, in addition to being a terrorist
regime.  So now there is a 1400 percent increase in poppies…but I read
that we have scored major victories in the war on drugs by eliminating
the Taliban drug trade.  What’s going on here?  Am I a victim of poor
recall, or too cynical?  Is this another Air America operation?

Great article.

I have heard that the dangerous chemical “Di-Hydrogen Monoxide,” may
well be banned soon.  Taken in large enough quantities, it causes organ
failure and results in death.  Recently, the newspaper carried a story
about a 9-year old girl who ingested too much of the substance ON THE
ORDER OF HER PARENTS, and died a short time later.  If too much is
inhaled, it causes extreme coughing fits and actually leads to death if
the lungs become too saturated.  When this substance is combined with
sodium, as it often is, and it is ingested, it causes vomiting and
dehydration.  I’m not sure on the statistics, but thousands of people
die every year due to accidental inhalation.  This dangerous substance
is everywhere and freely available to anyone who wishes to use it. It is
in every household and is an ingredient in millions of over-the-counter
products.  In addition, it is available in free-standing form to anyone
who wants to use it.  Frankly, I am shocked that our government has not
done more to ban this substance and arrest those who are responsible for
its trafficking and the effective disinformation campaign that has
pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes concerning how dangerous
Di-Hydrogen Monoxide actually is.

Call your Congressman TODAY…tell them to “Ban Di-Hydrogen Monoxide

At the Board of Directors meeting for the National Alliance of Methadone
Advocates I was handed a copy of Andria Mordaunt’s The Users Voice, a
newsletter of current and former drug users.  In it was a CD called Going
Over which was a really slick piece of important information/presentaiton on
overdoses and also included a guided tour of cardio pulmonary resuscitation.

Every Ibogaine provider should get a copy of this CD as knowledge of cardio
pulmonary resuscitation was discussed as an issue of concern to ibogaine
providers during the editorial exchanges which resulted in the Ibogaine
Manual, First Revision, http://www.ibogaine.org/manual.html

Andria can you let people know how to get copies of the CD or possibly
ibogaine providers who are interested can request the contact information or
a CD from Andria.

Preston also had an article in the issue of The User’s Voice (#17) on the
Million Marijuana March arrests in New York during the May 2002 event.

No, my son…for the sake of man did I divide the waters to create dry
land, and created the life that is upon her to be dependent on said
substance.  Go forth and drink…until it is banned.

Genesis 1:29-30 has a law by god which should scare those who try to ban
his plants–seeing as how they often come from a Christian ideology. God
says that all the plants of the world belong to us, for our own use. This
written in the foundation of the bible, and the DEA has tried to ban some
of these plants. Another thing to use against such people. Show them they
are sinning and threaten them with the fear of hell. Thing is, I’m one who
actually believes this. Quoting Genesis 1:29-30 against them is not just
some tactic with me. God wants me stoned out of my ghourd, on special
occasions.

A great project wasn’t it?

Seems like a good theatre protest tactic.  Hit a few dim bulb sort of

That is exactly what I was thinking. The perfect mockery. The perfect
satire, which proves a point. Now, all we’d need is the perfect platform to
perform this thing on. Too much water will kill you. It has caused many
deaths. Now where could we show this play. We’ll have to keep our eyes
open.  October 6 will be a good day for showing people things, or for

How gullible are we?

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater
Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how
conditioned we have become to the alarmists practicing junk science and
spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged
people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination
of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.” And for plenty of good reasons,
since it can

1.. cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. it is a major component in acid rain
3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. accidental inhalation can kill you
5. it contributes to erosion
6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. Forty-three
said yes, six were undecided, and only one knew that the chemical was
water. The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are
We?” The conclusion is obvious

See?  Lack of information pertaining to this substance, and how
dangerous it can be, can result in accidental death.  Dana, Preston and
Lightstorm are right on the money on this one.

WE MUST BAN THIS EVIL SUBSTANCE…which is also known as water.

I have heard that the dangerous chemical “Di-Hydrogen Monoxide,” may
well be banned soon.  Taken in large enough quantities, it causes
organ
failure and results in death.  Recently, the newspaper carried a
story
about a 9-year old girl who ingested too much of the substance ON
THE
ORDER OF HER PARENTS, and died a short time later.

What? Why are all these people doing this, what household product is
it in, and what motive would parents have for ordering their child to do
it? Is it supposed to be some kind of medicine?
You say it’s available in free-standing form…What?? I’ve never seen

chris

If too much is
inhaled, it causes extreme coughing fits and actually leads to death
if
the lungs become too saturated.  When this substance is combined
with
sodium, as it often is, and it is ingested, it causes vomiting and
dehydration.  I’m not sure on the statistics, but thousands of
people
die every year due to accidental inhalation.  This dangerous
substance
is everywhere and freely available to anyone who wishes to use it. It
is
in every household and is an ingredient in millions of
over-the-counter
products.  In addition, it is available in free-standing form to
anyone
who wants to use it.  Frankly, I am shocked that our government has
not
done more to ban this substance and arrest those who are responsible
for
its trafficking and the effective disinformation campaign that has
pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes concerning how dangerous
Di-Hydrogen Monoxide actually is.

Call your Congressman TODAY…tell them to “Ban Di-Hydrogen Monoxide
NOW! ”  Do it now, before any more innocent children die.

Indubitably. Over consumption after MDMA us is the cause of a number
of well-documented fatalities — but you can get the same result by
just drinking too much after becoming overheated.

Dana/cnw

It’s always, it seems, the case of “taking too much,” that people use when
they want to blabber a bunch of death stats in order to keep something
illegal. Drink too much alcohol, you’ll die as well, from this legal drug.
My only point about what Rick is talking about is that you can never truly
ban a chemical compound. I never said I approved of huffing til you die, or
approved of anything deadly. I’d love it if we could ban petroleum
distillates, the stuff that come out of car mufflers and some smokestacks.
I know a journalists who blames this pollutant on contributing to AIDS.

Exactly, that’s one of the main points of the article, that by trying
to
outlaw the world of chemistry, mother nature, etc, all you do is wind
up
hurting…lemme find the quote…here, “To attempt the prohibition of
chemistry, mother nature, an ancient human drive, is to try to stop
sex,
the Jewish race, homosexuality, the consumption of wine. These
movements
that have tried to stop these things that are endemic, eternal,
stronger,
countless years more ancient, have only served to hurt people in their
futile, failing tries.”

chris

doesn’t that annoy you, and just make you want to break laws all the
time?
i feel like breaking a law now. gotta go. 🙂

How gullible are we?

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to the alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.” And for plenty of good reasons, since it can

1.. cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. it is a major component in acid rain
3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. accidental inhalation can kill you
5. it contributes to erosion
6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. Forty-three said yes, six were undecided, and only one knew that the chemical was water. The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are We?” The conclusion is obvious

Great article.

I have heard that the dangerous chemical “Di-Hydrogen Monoxide,” may
well be banned soon.  Taken in large enough quantities, it causes organ
failure and results in death.  Recently, the newspaper carried a story
about a 9-year old girl who ingested too much of the substance ON THE
ORDER OF HER PARENTS, and died a short time later.  If too much is
inhaled, it causes extreme coughing fits and actually leads to death if
the lungs become too saturated.  When this substance is combined with
sodium, as it often is, and it is ingested, it causes vomiting and
dehydration.  I’m not sure on the statistics, but thousands of people
die every year due to accidental inhalation.  This dangerous substance
is everywhere and freely available to anyone who wishes to use it. It is
in every household and is an ingredient in millions of over-the-counter
products.  In addition, it is available in free-standing form to anyone
who wants to use it.  Frankly, I am shocked that our government has not
done more to ban this substance and arrest those who are responsible for
its trafficking and the effective disinformation campaign that has
pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes concerning how dangerous
Di-Hydrogen Monoxide actually is.

Call your Congressman TODAY…tell them to “Ban Di-Hydrogen Monoxide
NOW! ”  Do it now, before any more innocent children die.

When I get some extra time…if that ever happens…I intend to take a
harder look at the issue.  Awful strange that the opium production
increases after all the blabbering about all of  the opium production we
eliminated.

Of course, if you follow the trail far enough, I imagine that there are
all sorts of things that are illegal in our country (thus driving up the
price), which are legally pursued elsewhere.  So, is it too much of a
stretch to believe that an activity that is legal and profitable
elsewhere can profit a man (or agency, or country) who siezes control of
the supply lines…even though it would not be legal in the US?

I’m not so sure about the whole Iraq thing.  Everything I’ve read and
perused confirms a lot of of the publicly stated information.  I don’t
think it’s a simple issue, nor does it involve simple solutions.  Since
the end of the Gulf War, I have been opposed to UN sanctions against a
sovereign nation, no-fly zones, etc.  I think we put in place some
idiotic requirements in light of the individual we were dealing
with…and are still dealing with.  I dislike the idea that a
multi-lateral organization can simply impose its will on another nation
re: what that nation can do within its own borders.

With that said, I don’t think it’s so much about oil as it is about the
nuclear threat and WHAT WE DON’T KNOW, that is known within the
clandestine services of our government. We estimate 1-2 years for
nuclear capability. The Brits estimate 1 year or less.  I think the
general tendency is that we underestimate situations, as opposed to
overestimating.  Recent confiscations of nuclear materials on the black
market cause me to wonder even more…the last component needed is the
fission material.  The actual building of the bomb isn’t that big of a
problem…you just need the technical precision…meaning time and
money.  I once had a Kuwaiti friend in college. He was a chemistry
major.  The university I went to had a high population of Arabic
students from all the various Islamic countires.  Right around the time
of the gulf war, his major concern was that Iraq was actually further
ahead in the pursuit of nuclear technology than he was aware.  At that
time, he knew a number of Islamic students who were in pursuit of
nuclear engineering.  That was over ten years ago…where are all those
students now?

When

i fuckin hear that brother

In the apartment complex behind the clinic here, they just busted a
major supplier of GHB and X.  Someone ratted him out and they busted in
and caught him with a room full of chemicals and all the required
instrumentation as he sat hunched over his workbench in the beginning
phase of cooking up a new batch of drugs.  23 years old and going down.
So let’s see…felony…criminal drug conviction…loss of Driver’s
license…big fines (because simple incarceration doesn’t add $ to the
system)…no access to educational funds…no access to public
housing…and a scarlet letter for future employers to see.  Of course
the drivers license suspension will start upon payment of his fines…so
6-12 mos. after he gets out, he has no license and has fines to pay off.
Can’t get back and forth to work if he manages to get a job, and if he
doesn’t have place to stay, all his money goes on rent,transportation,
and food.

…so after a few months of this, the inevitable thought comes…”I’ll
just cook up a batch of drugs and solve all my money problems, then I’ll
be able to get back on my feet.”  Or, the alternate option of oblivion
thru intoxication in order to numb the ongoing misery.

I sure am glad they got that menace to society out of there. People on
GHB and X are just dropping all over the place, girls are being raped,
and kids are stretched out in the hospital dying of liver chirrosis (oh,
wait…that’s a different substance that does that).  At least now the
winos and beeraholics can get their fix across the street at the In/Out
Mart without fear…in order to prop up the economy with sin taxes they
pay out to imbibe the government-approved liquids of
intoxication….because “It’s different.”

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Large `Club Drug’ Ring Busted
The Associated Press
Oct 2 2002 10:15PM

SAN DIEGO (AP) – U.S. and Mexican authorities said Wednesday they have
dismantled North America’s largest illegal producer and distributor of
ketamine, a veterinary anesthetic that has become a popular and
dangerous
drug on the club circuit.
In raids in both countries and Panama, seven men were arrested and
authorities said they made the largest seizure ever of ketamine, which
is
often referred to as Super K or Special K.

The ring manufactured ketamine at a lab in the central Mexican state of
Morelos, advertised the drug on the Internet and smuggled it into the
United States, distributing tens of thousands of vials in liquid form
each
month, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Coughlin.

“This is a big business,” Coughlin said at a news conference to
announce
the indictment of 10 alleged members of the network.

The network is believed to be responsible for distributing 70 to 80
percent of the ketamine used illegally the United States, said Don
Thornhill, a Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman.

Two alleged ringleaders were arrested in Panama and transported to Miami
on Sept. 17. Jorge Chevreuil Bravo of Tijuana, Mexico, and Dr. Jose
Francisco Molina of Mexico City were arraigned on conspiracy and other
charges earlier this week.

Both men pleaded innocent and were ordered held without bail. They were
to
be transported to San Diego.

Chevreuil was also charged with operating a continuing criminal
enterprise. He could face life in prison if convicted on that count.

Three of the 10 indicted men remain at large. Authorities believe two
have
fled to Mexico.

As part of the two-year investigation, authorities made arrests and
served
search warrants in New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Boston and San
Diego.

Authorities in Tijuana made the largest seizure ever of ketamine,
confiscating nearly 200,000 vials from a veterinary office in the
border
city, according to the Mexican attorney general’s office.

The investigation began in Simi Valley when police began looking into
reports that steroids and ketamine were being sold at health clubs.

Ketamine, a controlled substance in the United States since 1999, is
typically distributed as a liquid in 10-milliliter bottles with a
street
value of about $100 each, according to the DEA.

The substance is heated to form a powder that can be snorted or smoked.
It
causes hallucinations similar to the drug PCP. It also has a sedative
effect and has been used as a date rape drug.

Bechtel versus Bolivia: the next battle in the “[Di-Hydrogen Monoxide]
War”

by Tom Kruse

Cochabamba, Bolivia, 10 April 2000: After seven days of street battles,
Aguas del Tunari, a subsidiary of the giant Bechtel corporation of San
Francisco, is forced to leave the city. The privatization of the local
water system is effectively reversed.

Washington, DC, late December 2001: Bechtel files suit against Bolivia,
demanding $25 million in compensation for lost future profits that
resulted from the cancellation of the company’s concession contract to
manage the city’s water.

San Francisco, 1 July 2002: After a seven hour meeting, the Board of
Supervisors of the City of San Francisco had only one more point of its
agenda to deal with – the approval of a resolution demanding that the
Bechtel company, owner of Aguas del Tunari, desist immediately in its
case against the republic of Bolivia for $25 million in compensation for
the loss of its water concession. The resolution was approved in a
matter of minutes: seven votes in favor, two against and two
abstentions.

The terrain had been prepared for this decision. Months earlier, a
network of organizations in Bolivia and the USA had begun to analyze and
act on the case ‘Bechtel versus Bolivia.’ They sent hundreds of e-mails,
created a web page and, at key moments, members of the network visited
San Francisco and Washington.

Just as the Water War of 2000 in Cochabamba, which resulted in the
cancellation of Bechtel’s water concession contract, is a symbol of the
conflicts surrounding privatization, so is Bechtel’s case against
Bolivia a symbol of how the laws of international trade and investment –
which allow and protect such claims – erode sovereignty, and place the
profits of the multinationals above the needs of countries and
democracy. And the resolution of the Board of Supervisors of San
Francisco, an incipient globalization ‘from below’ on water issues
begins to show its efficacy.

peace,
Preston

Great article.

I have heard that the dangerous chemical “Di-Hydrogen Monoxide,” may
well be banned soon.  Taken in large enough quantities, it causes organ
failure and results in death.  Recently, the newspaper carried a story
about a 9-year old girl who ingested too much of the substance ON THE
ORDER OF HER PARENTS, and died a short time later.  If too much is
inhaled, it causes extreme coughing fits and actually leads to death if
the lungs become too saturated.  When this substance is combined with
sodium, as it often is, and it is ingested, it causes vomiting and
dehydration.  I’m not sure on the statistics, but thousands of people
die every year due to accidental inhalation.  This dangerous substance
is everywhere and freely available to anyone who wishes to use it. It is
in every household and is an ingredient in millions of over-the-counter
products.  In addition, it is available in free-standing form to anyone
who wants to use it.  Frankly, I am shocked that our government has not
done more to ban this substance and arrest those who are responsible for
its trafficking and the effective disinformation campaign that has
pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes concerning how dangerous
Di-Hydrogen Monoxide actually is.

Call your Congressman TODAY…tell them to “Ban Di-Hydrogen Monoxide
NOW! ”  Do it now, before any more innocent children die.

Bechtel versus Bolivia: the next battle in the “[Di-Hydrogen Monoxide] War”

by Tom Kruse
Cochabamba, Bolivia, 10 April 2000: After seven days of street battles, Aguas del Tunari, a subsidiary of the giant Bechtel corporation of San Francisco, is forced to leave the city. The privatization of the local water system is effectively reversed.
Washington, DC, late December 2001: Bechtel files suit against Bolivia, demanding $25 million in compensation for lost future profits that resulted from the cancellation of the company’s concession contract to manage the city’s water.
San Francisco, 1 July 2002: After a seven hour meeting, the Board of Supervisors of the City of San Francisco had only one more point of its agenda to deal with – the approval of a resolution demanding that the Bechtel company, owner of Aguas del Tunari, desist immediately in its case against the republic of Bolivia for $25 million in compensation for the loss of its water concession. The resolution was approved in a matter of minutes: seven votes in favor, two against and two abstentions.
The terrain had been prepared for this decision. Months earlier, a network of organizations in Bolivia and the USA had begun to analyze and act on the case ‘Bechtel versus Bolivia.’ They sent hundreds of e-mails, created a web page and, at key moments, members of the network visited San Francisco and Washington.
Just as the Water War of 2000 in Cochabamba, which resulted in the cancellation of Bechtel’s water concession contract, is a symbol of the conflicts surrounding privatization, so is Bechtel’s case against Bolivia a symbol of how the laws of international trade and investment – which allow and protect such claims – erode sovereignty, and place the profits of the multinationals above the needs of countries and democracy. And the resolution of the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, an incipient globalization ‘from below’ on water issues begins to show its efficacy.

“Don’t ever trust the politics of those who promote fear, or hear their
words. The fearmonger sees and knows only one, negative side to things, and
so their “truths” are sadly composed of only partial truths and total lies.
Do not believe the ones who frame things as only evil-no pro, only con. And
whatever you do, don’t ever vote for these people.”
I: OPERATION WEBSLINGER
On Thursday, September 19th, the DEA, teaming up with the RMCP, arrested
over a hundred people in both Canada and the US in a sting they called
Operation Webslinger. During this climax of their two-year investigation,
they seized the people behind the most popular sites on the web for selling
a chemical called Gamma-Butyrolactone, or GBL. 1,4 Butanediol was another
suspect chemical, and what is said about GBL roughly applies to it as well.
GBL is an environmentally-sound product, found in many cleaning
agents–non-toxic and biodegradable. It will clean the scum from pools, the
polish from your nails, and strip the paint from wood–yet it’s safe enough
to pour right into your mouth. Just be warned, should you attempt this, that
it tastes like firewater, and within minutes your mind will melt into a
flowing stream of liquid light, as you become extremely relaxed and ever so
horny. Take too much, however, and you’ll puke your guts right out, or faint
or fall into a shaman-like trance that borders on coma.

In the apartment complex behind the clinic here, they just busted a
major supplier of GHB and X.  Someone ratted him out and they busted in
and caught him with a room full of chemicals and all the required
instrumentation as he sat hunched over his workbench in the beginning
phase of cooking up a new batch of drugs.  23 years old and going down.
So let’s see…felony…criminal drug conviction…loss of Driver’s
license…big fines (because simple incarceration doesn’t add $ to the
system)…no access to educational funds…no access to public
housing…and a scarlet letter for future employers to see.  Of course
the drivers license suspension will start upon payment of his fines…so
6-12 mos. after he gets out, he has no license and has fines to pay off.
Can’t get back and forth to work if he manages to get a job, and if he
doesn’t have place to stay, all his money goes on rent,transportation,
and food.

…so after a few months of this, the inevitable thought comes…”I’ll
just cook up a batch of drugs and solve all my money problems, then I’ll
be able to get back on my feet.”  Or, the alternate option of oblivion
thru intoxication in order to numb the ongoing misery.

I sure am glad they got that menace to society out of there. People on
GHB and X are just dropping all over the place, girls are being raped,
and kids are stretched out in the hospital dying of liver chirrosis (oh,
wait…that’s a different substance that does that).  At least now the
winos and beeraholics can get their fix across the street at the In/Out
Mart without fear…in order to prop up the economy with sin taxes they
pay out to imbibe the government-approved liquids of
intoxication….because “It’s different.”

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Large `Club Drug’ Ring Busted
The Associated Press
Oct 2 2002 10:15PM

SAN DIEGO (AP) – U.S. and Mexican authorities said Wednesday they have
dismantled North America’s largest illegal producer and distributor of
ketamine, a veterinary anesthetic that has become a popular and
dangerous
drug on the club circuit.
In raids in both countries and Panama, seven men were arrested and
authorities said they made the largest seizure ever of ketamine, which
is
often referred to as Super K or Special K.

The ring manufactured ketamine at a lab in the central Mexican state
of
Morelos, advertised the drug on the Internet and smuggled it into the
United States, distributing tens of thousands of vials in liquid form
each
month, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Coughlin.

“This is a big business,” Coughlin said at a news conference to
announce
the indictment of 10 alleged members of the network.

The network is believed to be responsible for distributing 70 to 80
percent of the ketamine used illegally the United States, said Don
Thornhill, a Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman.

Two alleged ringleaders were arrested in Panama and transported to
Miami
on Sept. 17. Jorge Chevreuil Bravo of Tijuana, Mexico, and Dr. Jose
Francisco Molina of Mexico City were arraigned on conspiracy and other
charges earlier this week.

Both men pleaded innocent and were ordered held without bail. They were
to
be transported to San Diego.

Chevreuil was also charged with operating a continuing criminal
enterprise. He could face life in prison if convicted on that count.

Three of the 10 indicted men remain at large. Authorities believe two
have
fled to Mexico.

As part of the two-year investigation, authorities made arrests and
served
search warrants in New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Boston and San
Diego.

Authorities in Tijuana made the largest seizure ever of ketamine,
confiscating nearly 200,000 vials from a veterinary office in the
border
city, according to the Mexican attorney general’s office.

The investigation began in Simi Valley when police began looking into
reports that steroids and ketamine were being sold at health clubs.

Ketamine, a controlled substance in the United States since 1999, is
typically distributed as a liquid in 10-milliliter bottles with a
street
value of about $100 each, according to the DEA.

The substance is heated to form a powder that can be snorted or smoked.
It
causes hallucinations similar to the drug PCP. It also has a sedative
effect and has been used as a date rape drug.

You are most certainly NOT a dim bulb Rick.;-)))
The only real poppy growing being done, at least during the final year
of Taliban rule, was in the Northern Alliance held territory. (something
like 80 or 90 percent if I am remembering correctly) Gulbidden
Hekmatyer, one of the current very vocal anti-American types in
Afghanistan, (actually, he is living in some country adjacent to
Afghanistan, if news reports are correct) was one of OUR main boys
during the Soviet occupation there, and he was a KNOWN major trafficker,
and still is apparently.

Man who opened marijuana cafe found guilty of drugs offenses

By AP News
October 2, 2002
MANCHESTER, England (AP) – A man who opened Britain’s first Dutch-style cafe
openly selling marijuana was found guilty of drug offenses Wednesday.
Colin Davies, 44, a multiple sclerosis sufferer who uses marijuana, or hemp,
to ease his symptoms, was arrested after smoking a joint during a launch
party at his store, The Dutch Experience, on Sept. 15, 2001.
A jury at Minshull Street Crown Court found Davies guilty on counts of
possessing a controlled substance with intent to supply, of supplying a
controlled substance, of being involved in the importation of marijuana and
of permitting his premises to be used for smoking of the drug.
The jury of seven men and five women took just over five hours to reach
their verdicts. Davies had denied all the charges.
Justice Stuart Fish remanded Davies in custody until Thursday when he will
be sentenced.

Dear HEADS:

Now things finally seem to be going our way in Canada with the Senate
report and all, it’s no time to sit on our laurels. I believe British
activists may have dropped the ball by assuming the fix was in, and
holding back while police and anti-pot fanatics bulldozed Blunkett
into not reducing penalties for actual sale. So there will be no
market separation of cannabis and hard drugs–no coffeeshops in the
UK, at least not right away, not without Colin Davies sitting in the
hoosegow.

Disarray between the International Cannabis Coalition and the
Brixton-based Cannabis Carnival crew, largely because everyone was
broke, limited the number of new cities in the MMM in the U.K. this
year, and all the lobbying and organizing afterwards that should have
attended the run-up to the vote in Parliament.  There wasn’t even a
second march on Trafalgar Square this September (although the
national focus of the British protest movement on  G.W. Bush’s war
plans also had a lot to do with that).

I believe efforts should made to triple the number of Canadian cities
in the Global Cannabis March in 2003. 40 or 50 locations in Canada,
even with small numbers in some cases, would go far to convincing the
straight media that this is a surging, growing popular movement with
the majority on our side. To that end, we are extending the hours of
the 2003 May event from 6 pm Friday the 2nd in New Zealand to 12
midnite Sunday the 4th in Hawaii.

Understand that for the last 2 years, we’ve accepted any city that
was forced to do their event on Sunday rather than Saturday, either
because of rain or some other conflict. And a few places have done
indoor parties on Friday night because the main, Saturday event was
in a nearby city. By starting Friday night in New Zealand we actually
start  Friday morning in Great Britain. And Sunday night in Hawaii is
Monday in Australia.

Formally expanding the Global March for Cannabis Liberation over the
whole weekend means every established city can do TWO satellite
events. Since we are well on our way to having 200 cities already,
that means potentially anywhere from 600 to 900 locations could
sustain a marijuana protest on the first weekend of May!

The object of a doing a Global March was always to break out of the
pigeonhole the media has constructed for us into a political space
where the May march would become a established cultural artifact,
like World AIDS Day, or Mother’s Day. The trick is achieving a
critical mass of cities (say 200 cities with 1,000+ participants, or
a few dozen really  really large events in Rome, London, New York, &
S.F.) that would get the Global March on the front page of all the
major papers.

The reason we haven’t been quite able to do this yet is that we
really needed a bundle of new arguments to answer the lies of our
opponents and catalyze teach-ins and mass gatherings–much like the
news about hemp 15 years ago. I believe the winning arguments for the
next stage of the marijuana debate arise from the fact tobacco is
carcinogenic and addictive–and marijuana is not–directly due to the
opposite psychoactive  mechanisms (and immunological and neurological
consequences) of the drugs involved, nicotine and cannabinoids, to
wit:

In the brain, nicotine stimulates glutamate, which triggers
inflammation and produces free radicals, which “turn on” the
carcinogens in the smoke. The cannabinoids in marijuana mimic
naturally produced neurotransmitters that “back-signal” across the
synaptic cleft telling glutamate-firing neurons to chill out,
enabling the immune system to suppress inflammation and sop up free
radicals–so that in pot smoke, the very same carcinogens never get a
chance to turn on cancer. In fact, preliminary studies show that
cannabinoids seem to kill certain types of cancer cells (glioma,
lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer and prostate cancer).

Good news indeed! Yet we would never know, without research into
other psycho-actives that also block glutamate, that this effect is
always paired with effects that are both anti-stroke and
anti-addictive. Mice that were genetically engineered not to have the
mGluR5 glutamate pathway could not be trained to self-administer
cocaine, no matter how much their dopamine or serotonin spiked.
Diszocilpine (Merck 801), a stroke medication which blocks glutamate
at the n-Methyl-d-asparate calcium channel, was found to by
scientists looking from new addiction treatments to abolish
withdrawal and tolerance to opiates and down-regulate
supersensitivity to stimulants.

Likewise marinol, a form of THC, is commonly reported to stop working
to stimulate appetite  after some weeks. Brian Murphy* found that THC
is vaporized at a much lower temperature than the cannabidiols, which
are left behind in the vaporizer; while New England researchers
looking for some medical benefits from the “non-psychoactive”
cannabidiol found potent antistroke effect. All of which gives rise
to the inference that smoked marijuana may be both more
anti-addictive and anti-carcinogenic than any other route of
administration.

I concede it is possible to tell folks all this without ever
mentioning Ibogaine. But unless you want to leave out a younger
generation that grew up understanding prozac and serotonin, cocaine
and dopamine, you’re going to have to refer to the very same pathways
in the brain to explain how marijuana works. Keith is fond of
comparing pot to a glass of wine, but that is an unfair comparison.
Alcohol works like heroin. The National Institute of Drug Abuse, on
the other hand, classifies cannabis as a hallucinogen, and in fact it
is part of the same sub-class as ayahuasca (harmala) and the iboga
alkaloids. (Pot does post-synaptically what they do
pre-synaptically).

The important thing is NIDA already concedes hallucinogens are NOT
ADDICTING.**

I predict that just as the lull that followed the failure to legalize
pot under Jimmy Carter ended when Jack Herer began to propagate the
scientific facts regarding hemp, dissemination of these new
discoveries about marijuana, cancer and addiction will end the lull
that set in when we failed to achieve any reforms under Bill Clinton.
And because the arguments against cannabis are orchestrated centrally
by the U.S. and the U.N. all over the world, the impact of this new
news will be the same in all cities, in all countries, on all the
continents.

Yours in Global Cannabis Liberation,

CANNABIS CAFE IS MEDICINAL

A MAN who started an Amsterdam-style coffee shop told a court it’s
cannabis
supply was for medicinal purposes.

Colin Davies, 44, faces a variety of cannabis related charges after
opening
the Dutch Experience in Reddish last year.

Mr Davies of Romney Towers, Reddish, initially set up a group which
sold
cannabis to around 200 ill people, he told the court, before opening
the
cafe. “I am a caring person. I have put my head on the line for these
people,” Mr Davies told the jury at Manchester Crown Court.

Mr Davies faces six charges, all he denies. Phillip Rainford, 35, of
Market
Place, Stockport; Stephen Caveney, 47, of Rishworth Close, Offerton;
Andrew
Young, 32, of Reddish Road, Stockport, also deny drug-related charges
in
this case.

HIGH TIMES FOR ALZHEIMER’S

Sophie Petit-Zeman On The Way Cannabinoids Could Alleviate Symptoms
Of
Degenerative Diseases

‘A younger sibling of mine accidentally let grandma eat the wrong
brownies… You could tell she had AD [Alzheimer’s disease] but
nothing so
prominent. It was like it took her back 3-4 years.” Postings such as
this
one on the Alzforum website  intrigued Dr Nathaniel Milton, a
biochemist at
London’s Royal Free and University College medical school.

He was already actively researching compounds which prevent the brain
cell
death that occurs in Alzheimer’s disease, and, with research partner
Insight Biotechnology, had taken out patents on some capable of doing
this.
He was also aware of a few reports suggesting that cannabis
preparations,
in the hands of doctors, could do for their patients much of what the
brownies did for grandma.

Reply-To: mayday@yahoogroups.com
Status:

Dear friends and fellow DPR activists:

On Wed., Oct. 2 at 6 p.m., Democratic Gov. Howard Dean MD of Vermont
will be
appearing at Chetty Red (28 East 23rd Street @ Madison Ave.,
Manhattan) for a
forum presented by Democratic Leadership for the 21st Century and the
Manhattan Young Democrats on “The Battle for the White House-2004”.

Dean is exploring a run for the presidency, and is actively traveling
to
campaign and fundraise for D candidates this cycle.

I find his candidacy absolutely unacceptable.  He actively blocked H.
645, a
tightly drafted medicinal marijuana bill, from consideration in the
VT Senate
earlier this year.

For more info about the VT campaign:

http://www.mpp.org/VT/

Let’s let the young Dem elite in NYC and Dean know how we feel.  I
find this
especially galling, given VT’s liberalism, the fact that he’s
courting the
liberal base of the party and, of course, that he’s a doctor.

I need your help.  I need bodies, speakers and signs.  I’m thinking
of
starting the demo at 5:30 p.m. so we can get people as they’re coming
in.

Especially helpful:

Elected officials
Medical marijuana users
Well dressed activists to confront Dean inside($7 for non-Members)
Buy-in from ARO and ASA on this event

Possible sign themes: Play off Doctor/Governor Mean Dean and Green
(but
please, remember that this is about medicinal marijuana, not
recreational
use).

Please let me know how you can help.  Let’s make medical marijuana an
issue in
NY and in the prsidential campaign.  Thanks!

Doug Greene

P.S.  He’ll also be appearing at the Empire State Pride Agenda the
next night.

Robert Eringer
by Ira Einhorn
July 5, 2002
Robert Eringer, described in Jeff Stein’s two-part Salon.com
article, “The Greatest Vendetta on Earth,” August 30 and 31, 2001, as
“an
obscure journalist with ties to the CIA,” burst into my life in late
1998.
His e-mail introduced him as an agent and a book publisher and spoke
of his
wish to publish my autobiography. I e-mailed him back and explained
that I
had an agent.
He, however, persisted in e-mail after e-mail, so I finally
asked him to send me some books he had published. Two of them
impressed me,
so I told my agent what I was doing and invited him to come visit me.
He arrived with books I had mentioned as wanting to read,
gifts for my wife, Annika, and wine for the house. He took us to our
favorite chateau and other local haunts. I found him pleasant, easy
to be
with, but not particularly bright or well read. He told both my wife
and I a
long involved tale about how his family had made a small fortune
selling the
family bakery business. His mother and father had given each child a
chunk
and then moved to Monaco.
Eringer patiently e-mailed me again and again after that
first visit. My agent felt it was not time to sell my novels, so she
was
attempting to have a biography done of me, as I was loathe to do my
autobiography, though I had begun work on it. Eringer proposed all
kinds of
book schemes for me; schemes in which I was not interested. Nor did I
find
any of the people my agent sent to me, re: the biography, to be of
interest.
Thus when Eringer suggested he would like to look at my
fourth novel, Cantor Dust, which was near and dear to my hear, I
informed my
agent and sent it to him. Eringer was very enthusiastic about it. He
said he
would prefer to do my autobiography, but would work on getting my
novel
published as an opener to getting my autobiography.
I said he was welcome to try. Thus began a continuous stream
of many hundreds of e-mails between this alleged intelligence
operative and
myself, broken only by his journeys to England, wherein he told me he
saw a
number of publishers without success and one new house that agreed to
publish Cantor Dust when they were actually in business, and his
family
vacations. We were still at it the day I was extradited to the United
States: July 20,2001.
After over a year of trying to publish the book, so he said,
in a conventional way, he decided, after much discussion, to publish
it
himself. He gave it to a trusted associate, Frank Martin, to read.
Frank
gave it a glowing review and agreed to copy edit Cantor Dust if I
agreed to
do more work on the dialogue. We did this work over a four-month
period, as
Eringer e-mailed me nightly about his choice of wine, and went back
and
forth to England.
He finally agreed to publish Cantor Dust himself, using the
limited edition as a means of selling it to a major publisher. After
much
delay, this was done in November of 2000.
Annika and I spent a month correcting proof. Eringer arrived
in our area in January of 2001 to pick up the corrected copy and to
make a
deal. Our favorite chateau was not open, so we went to a local hotel
and
took rooms for the night so that my wife, Annika, could drink wine.
Eringer presented what appeared to be well thought out plans
for marketing the book, but balked at giving me any advance money;
money
which we had discussed and agreed upon from the beginning. It was not
a
large sum, more a token of good faith. Annika and I were not happy
about his
backing off on the advance and made our feelings quite clear: no
money, no
book. This obviously disturbed Eringer. Over a superb French dinner,
he
talked about my precarious situation in France and proposed a way to
both
handle that and publish the book.
He said that he had connections with Polish Solidarity and
would provide us both with a place to live and money to live with if
we
would go underground. In fact, he said that he would publish the book
only
if I agreed to go underground.
Annika had enough of living underground, the French situation
was, at that time, alive and I didn’t trust Eringer. So I laughed and
told
him to keep me informed.
The next morning at breakfast, he gave me two code words for
talking about going to Poland and asked me to give him the corrected
copy.
He promised to give me a financial offer in a short time. I
reluctantly gave
him the copy-edited manuscript, but both Annika and I felt that our
hopes of
publishing Cantor Dust had been sharply reduced.
On February 15th, I received a fax from Robert Eringer that
said he would publish Cantor Dust only if I went underground. I was
astonished at such behavior. I wrote back about it in no uncertain
terms.
After a flurry of faxes and e-mails, he offered m e $10,000 up front
and
$10,000 that would be handed to me when I met him at a “to be
determined”
place on my way to Poland to which he would take me. When he refused
to
publish Cantor Dust without my going underground, I felt as if I were
being
blackmailed.
So I sent him an e-mail that said that if he didn’t produce
uncorrected page proofs, I was going to the media with the entire
story.
My phone range almost immediately. The voice on the phone was
that of a very upset Robert Eringer. He begged me to calm down. I
said I
would calm down as soon as he agreed to produce some uncorrected page
proofs
of Cantor Dust. He did. He also agreed to try to find a publisher.
Proof
copies arrived shortly afterwards, but I felt as if the entire
process was
over, in spite of Eringer’s insistence that he would look for a
publisher.
The events around my extradition intervened, though Robert
Eringer kept calling and e-mailing on a daily basis. My wife had some
contact with both Robert Eringer and Frank Martin for about a month,
and
then all was silence as the salon.com article obviously frightened
them. It
is an article that I would have seen in the normal course of events,
but I
was in jail.
One night I was talking to a friend on the jailhouse phone and
mentioned Eringer’s name. It rang a bell. She was sitting on her
computer
and entered it into a search engine. The Salon.com article appeared
on the
screen and she gasped. She immediately printed it out and sent it to
me. I
read it and got the chills.
One of Robert Eringer’s closest associates is Claire E.
George, Past DDO (Deputy Director of Operations) for the CIA, in
charge of
covert operations for the entire planet. Sources who have researched
the
situation indicate that Claire E. George and Robert Eringer have
worked
together on a number of operations, still work together and have a
pile of
money at their disposal.
Now why would people like that mount a complex operation
against “a bum who xeroxes things?” It is a question that honest
folks ought
to ask as they think about my situation.

Dana what’s the difference between the yippies and hippies?

I wanted to post that also since a little while ago I am starting to
get emails from people asking me where to buy ibogaine. These emails
are not coming from yahoo or hotmail accounts they are all coming
from
different internet accounts. I don’t know why anyone is sending these
questions to me because I don’t know.

I’m not posting their names because I don’t want everyone to be all
paranoid of them but it’s a little strange that these people are
filling up my email asking this when there is a guy who just posted
photos of his ibogaine plants and runs a cool entheogen shop in
canada.
Why ask me?

Go look it up.

Try to get Jerry Rubin’s book DO IT! and you’ll know all you want to
know about yippies… and more. There’s a chapter (Chapter 13, I
think) which tells about birth of YIPpies, and it starts like this:
“We got stoned so we could think logically.”
And then they made Youth International Party (YIP).
(This is according to my memory; It’s been a loong time since I read
DO IT!)

Hippies are something similar, but mainly without political aspect

Mahn do you people all have a lot to say the last couple of daze…
Will
scan through all this and reply here, to my mail, to my phone
messages,
everything, any minute now.  I promise.  It’s not my fault I’m
dysfunctional, plus, also, have a real job, which isn’t this.

Do0d…  Who the hell knows.  Forget 6 degrees of seperation, try for
maybe 3 — as per a conversation I had with Howard, which is to true
that it’s funny, or not…  Synchronicity, God works in strange ways.

TAP is where it all begins…  TAP was the birthplace of ThA
undergrOund.
Abbie Hoffman started this thing called YIPL (Youth International
Party
Lines) which turned into TAP (Technological Assistance Program).  We
found
TAP when we were like 12, 13 years old, because we were online by
then,
and meeting other phone phreaks.  The internet wasn’t quite there, it
was
more blue boxing and jamming up Step by Steps and Crossbars — which
NYC
had a lot of, being a very old city.  DMS and ESS, and CCIS (Closed
Circuit/Channel Interoffice Signaling) didn’t exist at most CO’s
(Central
Offices, not Corrections Officers) yet.

TAP was this series of meetings on the lower east side in NYC, where
there
were all these crazy old people who were very excited about
technology and
shit.  And we were a bunch of kids who were very smart and easy to
exploit, all they had to do was give us drugs and maybe buy us some
food,
and we’d FIGURE THINGS OUT and SOLVE PROBLEMS.  Whoops, no, I meant
to
say, they saw the beautiful light, which is truth, which is
knowledge,
shining within us and wanted to nurture it.  Or infect us with
whatever
they had, or sumthin…

But anyway, if my parents broke my mind, society stepped on the
pieces,
then THOSE PEOPLE at TAP fine-tuned the wreckage and helped
articulate the
ISSUES inside.

So, that was a huge part of our wasted youth.  Pieman running around;
Agent 6 — who was very MySteRioUs, until we backed him out, pulled
all
his shit, and found his Secret Identity! — all these 60’s do0dz, who
did
stuff long before I was alive either.  I missed the whole entire
60’s, I
was still on my last life back then.

Basically, THEY were our introduction to organized madness.

I had no idea what the fuck a Yippie is either.  They were just all
these
crazy old people who had good drugs =)

Jerry Rubin’s book is well worth reading not even if you want to feel

Well, I ran the Yippies and published the Yippie paper in the
’70’s–until Abbie came back in 1980 and asked me to cut it out.
Before that I was the chief theoretician of YIP…kind of the Michael
Suslov of the counter-culture.

Ibogaine is the fulfillment of Yippie…or at least one of the points
of the original platform, which was to fulfill the mission of
Burroughs and Ginsberg, and find an actual medical cure for heroin
addiction. (look at the intro to my book at
http://www.cures-not-wars.org/ibogaine/iboga.html ). And they got so
close, doing ayahuasca in the Amazon (see the Yage papers)–only they
never recognized Lotsof, due to the Yippie/Zippie split I think. That
split was brought about by a conflict between Abbie and Tom Forcade,
the founder of High Times, over credit and payment for STEAL THIS
BOOK.

Hippie, yippie, zippie. Xippie?

That’s a zippie? 🙂

I know I’m saying the obvious but I just thought I’d mention that
everyone who posts to this list is completely insane.

Then that’s the whole purpose of Mindvox isn’t it. Very nice to have
a platform to broadcast insanity. Seems very popular. Might even work
as part of the harm reduction model. seperation of mindvox from hard
drugs. no maybe i won’t smoke crack today, I’ll just see what people
on the list are saying instead same effect.

Brendan22 et all,

this reminds me of a very basic question, for which I’d like to know
the answer very much:

WHAT DEFINES INTELLIGENCE??
(not only in humans, but intelligence generally. Universally.

Can someone tell me this definition?

Thanks,

Marko

Well, Marko, you were intelligent enough to notice when OVERTHROW
published the very first story about Ibogaine, for instance.

I didn’t just notice it. Something in my brains made CLICK and I KNEW
Ibogaine was something so unbelieveable crazy, unconventional,
impossible to make it available (don’t forget that I lived in
socialist/communist Yugoslavia at the time) that I simply HAD TO
involve myself in this…. I instantly KNEW it does what I was
reading…

This was not intelligence, it was emotion. Something similar happened
to me years after this, when I saw my wife for the first time ;-)))

But it was intelligent of (wat’s-her-name-again, she lives upstairs
in 9 Bleecker) that she put me on the free list of OVERTHROW
subscribers… or was it emotional, too?

There are NO coincidences!
(what about our free will???)

That was Alice. She’s still upstairs. I would like the paper to come
out again, but we would have to be able to hang on to the blg. She
put all kinds of people on that list. Did you know there were Yippies
in Athens. I would like to get back in touch with the Yippies in
Athens, for the annual march in May.

But the thing that yr talking about is not emotional, although it may
be said to be intuitive, instead of deductive. It’s PATTERN
RECOGNITION.

I have very good pattern recognition. I had the same reaction you
describe when Howard told me about Ibo.

Subject: Re: [ibogaine] yippies and ibogaine source emails

Here’s an extremely interesting view of intelligence given to me by
sort of
a modern day philosopher. The genius is someone who is in touch with
something called ‘the daimos.’  This is the part of him/herself that
is
able to relate to and sync with God/theGoddess/The force. When you
have
found you’re own daimos, it opens up somekind of doorway through
which all
the universe’s energies, or whatever you’d like to call it, comes
rushing
through your mind. Anyone who has been reborn can testify to this;
it’s an
energy rush that suddenly gives you new sites, new views, scores of
new
thought dimensions. His theory is that anyone who finds this daimos,
through ibogaine, drugs, their own soul-searching, whatever, also
finds
greater intelligence. I always think of those singers who people say
have a
lot of soul, when I think of this definition. You don’t see great
singers
of soul sitting around writing books on fuzzy logic. But you listen
to
them, and hear that daimos coming out of them, and their way of
singing
reaches parts of your mind that have been touched and that you never
even
knew were there.

I’m not saying some are not more mature than others– just that this
is pattern recognition we’re talking about, not deduction– so that
the kind of instant “Click, I get it” response that Marko is talking
about is not a matter of mood, but cognition.

Subject: RE: [ibogaine] yippies and ibogaine source emails

Perhaps it is some sort of disturbance in the force.  I was tired of
my
work…never really seeing anyone change for the better, yet still
enjoyed working with the people.  I sunk a bunch of money into
retraining. I’ve always been a geek, so I decided to make $ at it
instead of trying to save the world.  I had read about ibogaine 2-3
years ago and was intrigued, but was already moving forward with the
“I’ve gotta get outta here” plan, so I set it aside.  Then about a
year
ago, someone was asking me about the ibogaine option.  I told them
all I
knew.  Then for some reason, as I read and thought, and researched,
it
seems like it grabbed me like a religious experience.  I’ve never
done
ibogaine and I’m really not all that interested in trying it out.
For
whatever reason, I wake up with it in my thoughts, and I go to bed
with
it in my thoughts.  I have been unable to force myself to actually
pursue the career change…why?  I love working with the people and
ibogaine has some sort of hold on me.  Coincidence? I Don’t know. But
when I follow the impulse and obsession, it hardly ever turns out
bad.
When I don’t I shrivel up a little inside.

I agree with Dana.  The human body is dependant on both emotional and
physical needs and they interact to differing degrees for each person
but
both are necessary to make up the whole.    Some people can be really
intelligent but lack basic common sense or empathy with others etc
and still
not be able to cope with life around them.   I reckon its all a case
of
balance yet again, same as food and anything else you do in life.  It
still
comes back to dealing with yourself in the end.   Allison

I’d just like to mention that I have absolute faith that ibogaine
would
have helped Aleister Crowley pull out of that whole entire nosedive
towards the end there.  Many things were completely not his fault, he
suffered from the Mysterious Disease of Addiction and cannot be held
accountable for all those mistakes and allegations that arose.  It
must
also truly suck to catch pieces of the light, to nearly resonate with
it
right before you’re shredded apart and get blown to shit.  Fucking
ouch,
that has gotta hurt.

Ibogaine would have given Aleister a Window of Opportunity(R)

I’d agree with what Dana said.  I don’t really divide it as
intelligence
and emotion, more a series of places you can have resonance with.

Just from my own experience, if you are in extremely negative spaces

whatever they may be — if you apply focused intellect and reinforce
that
with will, you can pull out of them … temporarily anyway.  In the
end
the only solution is to just drop it; accept it; integrate it, and
none of
this is ever an intellectual sorta decision.  It’s such an amazingly
beautiful thing when my mind finally shuts up.  Entheogens are
extremely
helpful in tearing down your reason, so you can think again.

Everything is a series of balances, a harmonic.  Or it should be,
when you
try to force it out of alignment, PieCeS start to blow out and come
raining down on the whole entire scenario.  Which is a real bummer.

Subject: [IBOGAINE] getting iboga to seed
Reply-To: ibogaine@lists.calyx.nl
List-Archive: <https://lists.calyx.nl/archives/ibogaine/>

About making seed:
my plants have been flowering for 3 years now and I have not had a
single seed. have tried handpollinating and cross pollinating etc. I
presume they are simply too young. Some people in similar climates
have managed to get them to seed (sporadically), so I know it is
possible. Maybe we simply don’t have the right vectors here and maybe
my handpollinating technique isn’t up to scratch…. it is a
difficult flower to get access to.

About growing from seed:
this is difficult enough from fresh seed, but near impossible from
old seed. Fresh seed will germinate in a matter of a few days to a
few weeks. The coat will fall off nicely and the seedling will be
vigorous. Fresh seed is VERY hard to find.
Old seed on the other hand is plentiful. If it germinates it will do
so after several weeks, and usually only after the bed has gone
through a few cycles of wet and dry. The emerging seedling will be
covered by the tough coat which will not come off and the seedling
will rot if not helped along. Germination of old seed in soil is
basically impossible as it will rot. Use coarse sharp sand or
similar. Most old seed will simply rot as the embryo is not viable
anymore.

Contact Jason  at   ethnogarden@sympatico.ca    for fresh seed. He is
the only supplier who currently has reasonably fresh seed (note: this
is an illegal drug import into Australia, USA, Switzerland and many
other countries). he is also the only supplier who has properly
identified seed. Many other suppliers have been selling
Tabernaemontana species instead. Some have even tried to make up
their own names for related species and genera. I have seen his seed
and can vouch for its identity. Jason has actually germinated some of
his seed in the last few weeks, so we know it is good. Expect to pay
plenty for good seed.

And check my site for information on growing.
First link is just the species page (work in perpetual progress ;))
with some general info (incl seed identity). Second page is
specifically about germination.

Subject: [ibogaine] Christopher H…another bad day.

He was a client…a patient…(insert whatever the hell you want to be
called here)…A PERSON who made some bad choices when he was 14 or 15.
Genetically predisposed to addiction, with the typical dysfunctional,
drug-addicted, broken family,  he was, despite his affliction, simply a
hell of a nice guy.  He always cut straight about using, whether he had
a UA or not.  He had been detoxed off the program about two years ago.
He’d stop in to see me every 6 months or so. When I hadn’t seen him in a
while, I often wondered where he was, how he was doing, etc., always
hoping I would never read his name in the paper.

He came in last week.  He’d been thru the usual ripping-and-running,
culminating with incarceration, and was out on probation.  He went thru
orientation last Monday. I saw him on Tuesday to complete his intake.
Our session went about 15-20 minutes over simply because I always
enjoyed sessions with Chris.  I told him I was glad he was back and that
I hoped he could keep dodging the bullets til Thursday when he would
actually be dosed.  He came in and dosed on Thursday. I spoke with him
briefly that Morning.  He dosed Friday, dosed Saturday, then OD’d and
died Saturday Night/Sunday Morning.

Chris  was a huge KISS fan. He was also a SPAWN fan and during a period
of stability a few years ago, he had managed to collect issues
#1-25…and then, as a matter of course, sold them for dope. He was also
a drummer. He had long shoulder length hair that he only cut short for
court. He also had a six year old daughter. Chris was 32 years old.

It’s nice and sunny outside today, yet it’s simply another dark day.
My life will be a little emptier with his passing.

Good morning all,
Hmmm, US troops go into Afghanistan, Afghan farmers reap a 1400 percent increase in poppies since last year,
(185 tons in 2001 to more than 2,700 tons this year-
http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?ItemID=13861)
and this small NH town (see below) is seeing a “huge” (depending on one’s perspective) increase in heroin seized since last year.
Could there be a correlation here?
What a vicious cycle.

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/Main.asp?SectionID=25&SubSectionID=377&ArticleID=65046
Growing epidemic
snip-
Heroin treatment admissions increased 115 percent from 1996 to 2000, and heroin is second only to marijuana as the illegal drug driving the most people to treatment, according to state statistics.

The 58.22 grams of heroin that Nashua police seized in 2001 accounted for only 1.59 percent of the value of all drugs seized that year. In the first seven months of this year, the narcotics unit seized 245.02 grams of heroin with a street value of $58,000.

Hansen attributed the rise to the increased prevalence of heroin in the city.

…so I wake up one day and realize I’M RUNNING MARATHONS…and I get
some sort of sick pleasure around mile 13-15 (endorphins kicking in,
glycogen stores fizzling out) and I feel like the godhead.  I dragged a
friend into training for a marathon and he hated every single minute of
it, while I exulted and reveled in the enjoyment of the whole miserable
training period.  Exercise increases Serotonin release as well as
endorphins.  I did the same thing with working out…ended up all beefed
out and it sort of interfered with running.  Almost everything I get
into I pursue as the latest addiction.  Now I’ve got so many things I
enjoy doing, it’s truly a battle to decide which one to follow.

When you kick drugs and then not know what to do with yourself the best
thing for most people is exercise cos it releases natural endorphines in
your body which do the same sort of job that drugs did chemically.
Anyways, that it how I understand it.  Once you can get yourself over
that
horrible lethargic, sick period your body is crying out for something???
You want to eat and then after a couple of mouthfulls your sick of it,
you
want to drink and then thats not satisfying either.  Then when you get
to
exercise it sort of kicks something into gear in your body that
stimulates a
happy feeling so you keep doing it.  However, its just as easy to get
hooked
on exercise as it is drugs.  You can do a couple of days a week and feel
good and then it sort of creeps up on you that your doing 3 or 4 days
and
then you start worrying if you miss a day etc.  Anyone else been through
that one.   I was told that it was a reaction to endorphine release in
the
nervous system which is similar to or the same as what opiates do.
Does
anyone else have more info or opinions on all that.   Allison

Roadmap
| please.

Do0d, I’m not you.  I can’t hand you a roadmap and say, okay, follow
this
exactly and you’ll obtain whatever results you want.  Although, get
back
to be ’round 2004 or so, I should have the hang of that shaktipat thing
by
then.

Heroin is extreme numbness; it ain’t demonic possession, it’s just a
molecule.  Look at it as the left-hand path of tantra, chemical Zen.
It’s
pretty fucking cool.  There are just states that are beyond this.
Godhead
is one killer fucking rush.  I love to get high.  Shift focus;
addiction
is just energy…  A LOT of it.  Instead of pretending it’s not there,
or
trying to make deals with it, which doesn’t work because it’s not
listening; ride the lightning.  Focus and direct it where you want it
to
go.  Who gives a fuck about being “normal,” whatever that means
exactly.

To cop a line from Jung, addiction is a hole in your soul, where the
connection to God is missing.  This is pretty much exactly correct.
And
I’d say you would be in a good space if you can establish or
re-establish
your personal conduit into all this; but I’m not exactly sure even that
is
necessary.

Without taking a long detour, I know two people who I hang out with
sometimes; one was a junkie for 22 years, then managed to kick, smoked
pot
for a decade, and has now entered a My Body is My Temple phase, goes to
the gym 4 hours a day, doesn’t drink coffee, smoke, or eat anything
that
isn’t Holistic and Natural.  He’s also an incredibly fucking annoying
human being, “Patrick, have I mentioned in the last 5 minutes that you
need to stop smoking?  Steak is evil, and there are natural substitutes
for aspirin…”  Uhm, thanks for sharing mahn.

The other dude had a roughly 25 year long methamphetamine run, woke up
one
day and decided it was getting old, went back to school, runs a store
now,
builds motorcycles, plus, also, works out 4 hours a day (there is a
pattern here).  He appears to have found some sort of spiritual belief
system in the works of this entity named Krylon — which apparently
isn’t
just spray paint for tagging up anymore.  Krylon is channeled by
somebody;
and he’s this God or Demon, or Energy Collective or something, which
either makes the magnetic poles of the earth shift every few thousand
decades, or he is just in charge of watching this and kinda
commemorating
the event.  Sadly I’m uncertain which it is, since I never pay that
close
attention to the details of the scenario when it is patiently explained
to
me.

But anyway, neither one is exactly what I’d called Filled with God.
Neither one thinks much of therapy or the concept of “recovery.”
Neither one does the 12-step stuff, although not having had people
attempt
to dump them into that paradigm against their will, they don’t exhibit
a
violent psychotic reaction to it, like some of us may at times.  To
summarize both their opinions on it, it’d be more of a Hovering
Question
Mark, “I felt like shit, people said I should go to this meeting
because
it’d make me feel better, so, okay, why not.  Then I went there and
it’s
this room completely filled with whiny people complaining about shit.
It
really depressed me, never went back.  I don’t get it.”

Neither one is banging up dope or speed, after more than half a
lifetime
of doing that.

What do they have in common?  Well, working out FUCKING HELPS.  Period.
Beyond that; not much.  Except they BELIEVE they can do what they’re
doing.  Which is all it takes.

Rick,
I’m more than glad that he at least met you before he died, as it sounds like you care, which is something that all people in Chris’ position really need.
Peace,
Preston

He was a client…a patient…(insert whatever the hell you want to be
called here)…A PERSON who made some bad choices when he was 14 or 15.
Genetically predisposed to addiction, with the typical dysfunctional,
drug-addicted, broken family,  he was, despite his affliction, simply a
hell of a nice guy.  He always cut straight about using, whether he had
a UA or not.  He had been detoxed off the program about two years ago.
He’d stop in to see me every 6 months or so. When I hadn’t seen him in a
while, I often wondered where he was, how he was doing, etc., always
hoping I would never read his name in the paper.

He came in last week.  He’d been thru the usual ripping-and-running,
culminating with incarceration, and was out on probation.  He went thru
orientation last Monday. I saw him on Tuesday to complete his intake.
Our session went about 15-20 minutes over simply because I always
enjoyed sessions with Chris.  I told him I was glad he was back and that
I hoped he could keep dodging the bullets til Thursday when he would
actually be dosed.  He came in and dosed on Thursday. I spoke with him
briefly that Morning.  He dosed Friday, dosed Saturday, then OD’d and
died Saturday Night/Sunday Morning.

Chris  was a huge KISS fan. He was also a SPAWN fan and during a period
of stability a few years ago, he had managed to collect issues
#1-25…and then, as a matter of course, sold them for dope. He was also
a drummer. He had long shoulder length hair that he only cut short for
court. He also had a six year old daughter. Chris was 32 years old.

It’s nice and sunny outside today, yet it’s simply another dark day.
My life will be a little emptier with his passing.

One other question: Are other US cities and towns seeing similar rises in the amount of heroin on their streets?

Good morning all,
Hmmm, US troops go into Afghanistan, Afghan farmers reap a 1400 percent increase in poppies since last year,
(185 tons in 2001 to more than 2,700 tons this year-
http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?ItemID=13861)
and this small NH town (see below) is seeing a “huge” (depending on one’s perspective) increase in heroin seized since last year.
Could there be a correlation here?
What a vicious cycle.

Heroin treatment admissions increased 115 percent from 1996 to 2000, and heroin is second only to marijuana as the illegal drug driving the most people to treatment, according to state statistics.

The 58.22 grams of heroin that Nashua police seized in 2001 accounted for only 1.59 percent of the value of all drugs seized that year. In the first seven months of this year, the narcotics unit seized 245.02 grams of heroin with a street value of $58,000.

Hansen attributed the rise to the increased prevalence of heroin in the city.

Fresh evidence that cannabis reduces pain
By Jeremy Laurance Health Editor
01 October 2002
The prospects for a cannabis-based medicine to help patients with
multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions has improved with the
publication of new evidence that the drug helps to reduce pain.

Preliminary results from a trial of 34 patients with multiple sclerosis
(MS) and other conditions who were in severe pain showed 28 benefited from
the medicines and elected to continue on the trial.

All of the patients had been treated with other pain-killing drugs which
had proved ineffective. The study, known as a Phase II trial, is the
largest presented to date by GW Pharmaceuticals, a venture company which
has a Home Office license to develop drugs based on cannabis.

The latest findings were disclosed at the American Academy of Pain
Management in Reno, Nevada, by Dr Willy Notcutt. Dr Notcutt said: “Given
the previously intractable nature of their pain symptoms, the improvements
provided by cannabis-based medicines are all the more remarkable.”

The patients were given three cannabis-based medicines which contained
different combinations of two of the active ingredients of cannabis,
tetrahyrdrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

Cannabis contains at least 60 active cannabinoids and scientists have been
trying to isolate those that relieve pain and improve the function of
patients.

Before the company can apply for a licence to market the drugs it will have
to complete Phase III trials, which are more rigorous and involve a large
number of patients.

The largest such trial of cannabis-based medicines, funded by the Medical
Research Council and involving 660 patients, is nearing completion and
preliminary results are to be announced next month.
