Darth Vader on acid gives great advice 😉 He’s clean and that should be
impossible, the first step as near as I’ve figured out is become a
complete psycho right patrick 😉 which shouldn’t be a problem for
anyone on this list. step 2 is just believe. Great belief system! I
keep seeing it working here 🙂 why argue with success 🙂

I think that 12 step works that way for those for whom it works.
One
believes their higher power will keep them clean, and (S)he does.
Right now I believe that activism and this list will keep me off
crack,
and it does.

All of this change is post ibo.  I did believe in the ibogaine
too.
And the stories of those who had dosed before me.  The treatment
links
on the ibogaine.mindvox page were very helpful in my understanding of

recovery.  Patrick in particular concerning the importance of belief.

And the advise to be more cool.  I liked that a lot too, especially

when I feel like being an asshole. Of course sometimes I cannot
resist.  What is it the 12 steppers say, “progress not perfection.”
I
sure don’t want to get too close to perfect to fast.  I’m having too
much fun flawed.:)

I think organizing is a wonderful idea.  Doing so without breeding dogma will be tricky.  I’m curious, what exactly would be the difference between a union and patient advocacy groups?
I think the boldest thing that could be done is to open a church right here in the US.  A real, certified and sincere church.  I think this is the most productive path, but I know little.
Who can deny iboga is a divine plant.
It is so great to hear about so much action.  ‘Tis Inspiring.

Hi Jasen,

Sometimes it is scary to think about tripping, but even without tripping
mushrooms in small amount can help you therapeutically.

***> Dear Sara,I understand.

It isn’t about fun, but about a rollercoaster, when you come out of it
you
are happy to be alive. A short cut to transformation on many levels.

***Fun sounds like it would be much better.:)When you say,” happy to be
alive”
is it really that bad of an experience?When the term ,”a lot of pain and
suffering”is used
is this physical or emotional pain.?
All these questions,..I know.I am just trying to understand.
I thank you for your time and thank God for the guidance.(I believe in
God,not religion)
Jasen (Aus)

It is the pain of letting go of emotinal pain,
when you love your parents so much and you see them getting old and needy,
you can feel the process of letting go,also when relations between people
isn’t working but still there is love which makes it harder to let go of
people , the understanding during the trip, makes it very emotional but
after it everything fall into a place when the trip is over.
so, it is just a spiritual experience.
those plants are not killers plants, if you get too much you vomit.
they “kill”only things we should let go.
they also show us how much love we have within to the people around us.

God is a mystery of mastery.

I’m still pondering ibogaine up the nose…I’m sure somebody somewhere tried it.  I had friends who would snort just about anything if you handed it to them.  We all know about ibogaine up the ass, but up the nose..very interesting.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: do not try ibo sniffing at home.  It just sounds really wrong somehow.:)

Hey Preston,

I think there are enough users/addicts in the NYC area to fill the ranks. When my therapist first encouraged me to get involved with addict unions, he said that while you all (us addicts) may be using (or were using) illegal drugs, we don’t deserve to be treated like shit.  We are human beings who use/used and or abuse/abused illegal, and sometimes legal drugs.

I agreed entirely.  I pointed out that harm reduction is mostly an effort of social workers and concerned friends of addicts, not addicts or users themselves often.
Unions would differ in that they (we) would be advocating for themselves.

BTW: the word addict is a tricky one isn’t it.  Drug user unions might be a better choice of words.  It would let individual users call themselves addicts if they like, and allow for those who feel that whole addict paradigm really doesn’t fir for them.  I wasn’t an addict until I went to NA.  Before that I was just a basehead.:)

Just spoke to a couple of friends about this very idea today- I wonder if
you’ve been speaking to the same people I have Sean? LOL.
Seriously, I think this is a much needed and brilliant idea- one that
really needs more support from we users/addicts. Because I think the users
who aren’t addicts should be included/involved in this as well.
peace and love,
Preston

Hi Callie,

More reasons for addict unions in the US.  The current state of siege we
American addicts live under threatens very existence sometimes. As well as
out freedom to make medical decisions as you point out.  Why would a judge
ever refuse an addict meth as a term of probation.  Because the sinner must
suffer though state imposed abstinence, that’s why.  And if they can’t
handle  that, the sinner can go to church, I mean 12 step meetings.:)

Jasen (Aus)
Here is something I like to share with you, about the help of plant
medicinal.

Dear Friends,
It is not always easy to work with Ayahuasca. There is for example the
demand to make and test the Ayahuasca that you are going to use on
yourself,
before you give it to anyone else. This process carries certain risks. I
have been looking for all kinds of different Ayahuasca mixes to work with.
I
want one that is visual, but also one that is powerful enough to keep us
in
its grip, and allow for steady visions, as well as the therapeutic
processes, that seem to come only when the visual effects are accompanied
by
a ‘no escape’ sensation.

These therapeutic effects are sometimes so powerful that even a person
with
quite lot of experience must go through a lot of pain and suffering. I
have
had a few death/re-birth experiences during the years that I took
Ayahuasca,
but last nights session was one of the most powerful I ever experienced,
so
I would like to tell you a little bit about it.

The admixture I was using is a mix of Mimosa Hostilis (Jurema) and
Banisteriopsis Caapi (Jagube). The latter was supplied by an online
supplier
for testing purposes only, and I was aware that it is an extract,
concentrated 10:1. The question is however what does this really mean? In
the Santo Daime churches there is a scale for expressing the strength of
Daime, ranging from Primeiro Degrau (first degree) then Doubrado (doubled)
and finally there is Mel (honey), the concentration of which is anyone’s
guess. How can such highly concentrated substances be tested, if not
simply
by taking some and praying that the dose is not too powerful?

Since my supplier had received the information that the Banisteriopsis
Caapi
10:1 mixture which came in the form of a dried powder meant that one gram
was a full dose, I began testing it (on my own) at half its strength. I
presumed that I would be able to feel the MAO action, as a shift in my
Serotonin level. Peganum Harmala (Syrian Rue) can be felt quite powerfully
after ingestion, and I presumed this would be true of the Caapi as well.
Indeed I did feel it some minutes after I ingested it, but I did not take
any DMT containing substance, and the effects went unnoticed after about
two
hours.

I decided to spend the Saturday at Sara’s house, and take a new dose there
with her. This time, I served myself a full dose of 1 gram (dissolved in
water) and drank a full does of Jurema a few minutes later. I gave Sara a
smaller dose, which was unnecessary I found out later, because she has had
much experience with Iboga, and that substance is much more powerful.
After
about half an hour the force of the Ayahuasca gripped me. I threw up, but
that did nothing to lessen the onslaught. It is hard to describe the
gripping force of the substance, but I felt as if my body and mind were
held
in a vice, a vice that was moving and flying through space and time. I was
unable to focus, and hardly able to sit still. I started to have my doubts
about the dosage, and to think that I had maybe made a mistake, perhaps
even
a lethal one. Sara on the other hand seemed fairly relaxed, lying on the
couch with a blanket over herself.

I decided that I would have to go all the way this time, even if it meant
dying, I wanted to lose it: just surrender to whatever it was that was
going
to happen. I started to say goodbye and thank all the people and spirits
that had been guiding me. Naturally there was a lot of sorrow, and I was
very grateful for Sara being there, and allowing me to express my
feelings.
I could not feel the end of the tunnel, but gradually as I resigned
myself,
the feelings of dread started to lift. Perhaps many years ago I would have
been unable to see that I had survived, but things have changed, and I
could
laugh again, still a little shaky but nonetheless a lot wiser.

I am so glad that I had that experience, and I know that such therapeutic
doses are what I wish to work with, but I have never allowed myself the
freedom to administer them myself, for the simple reason that I would
never
give someone something that I had not taken myself. Now I know what a high
dose I can administer, new possibilities open themselves, for those
friends
who wish to experience this for themselves, and have adequate guidance and
friendship and love around them while they are processing whatever comes
up,
such a dose is now available!

This session has allowed me to reconsider a number of things (including a
few personal matters as you may imagine) and one of the things I would
like
to try is to offer such healing works in small groups. There will be a
financial contribution to make, of around 85 -100 euros per session. The
way
I have arrived at this figure is by comparing the type of work going on at
the Santo Daime and other Ayahuasca groups. Therapeutic results reached
during such sessions normally occur only infrequently, the norm seems to
be
that one has to ask for a larger than normal dose, but in such large
groups
it is very hard to willingly take such large doses and allow the spirit of
the Ayahuasca to take over completely. Secondly, the substance itself
costs
quite a lot more to prepare than if it were made in large batches, such as
the Daime. Thirdly, any money left over after the costs of the substance
have been deducted, go towards the house where the session takes place, in
this case Sara’s home, which is a place where healing takes place, and
where
Iboga is used to help drug addicts free themselves. Sara tries to make
this
work affordable, but it is difficult for her to make ends meet, so I would
like to help her this way.

A critical review of the causes of death among post-mortem toxicological
investigations: analysis of 34 buprenorphine-associated and 35
methadone-associated deaths. Pirnay S, Borron SW, Giudicelli CP,
Tourneau J, Baud FJ, Ricordel I. Addiction (2004) 99: 978–988

Dear Colleagues,

This adds to the modest amount of published research on the major French
‘experiment’ with buprenorphine, starting in 1996. To add another
variable, two years after the release of unrestricted buprenorphine
prescription, methadone treatment also became available, albeit in a
more structured manner.

This is a detailed report of 60 consecutive overdose deaths in Paris
over a 5 year period from 1997 in which buprenorphine (34), methadone
(35) or both (9) were found in the post-mortem toxicology. An exhaustive
investigation of each case classified the relative contribution (if any)
of the two drugs towards the death. Unfortunately as a retrospective
study, the authors were not able to determine the subjects’ treatment
status.

Despite buprenorphine being prescribed at a rate about 8 times that of
methadone in France, the numbers of deaths most likely attributable to
each drug were about the same (12 versus 14). In these deaths, as in
other reports, an average of about 4 other drugs (excluding nicotine)
was found, and in one case there were 13 additional drugs! Alcohol,
benzodiazepines and other opioids were the most common, sometimes in
very high concentrations. Heroin (morphine) was also found in toxic
levels in 5 buprenorphine cases and 6 methadone subjects. Other cases
either had clear alternative causes of death (eg. homicide, suicide,
burns, carbon monoxide, etc) or else the cause of death could not be
determined (12 cases).

In 1995 there were ~500 opioid overdose deaths in France. This annual
rate had reportedly dropped to 100 by 1999. During this period,
Australian overdose deaths increased relentlessly. Due to its restricted
status, methadone in France is generally reserved for the more difficult
cases. The authors state: “From the beginning, methadone appears to have
had the image in France of ‘a drug of last resort’ for the most
desperate cases”. Hence the higher per-patient death rates are probably
a combination of the drug’s higher toxicity as well as it being used in
higher risk circumstances clinically in France.

When compared, the figure of 60 deaths in a five year period is
reassuringly low. This is in stark contrast to 900 methadone overdose
deaths reported in New York City over a 9 year period (Bryant and
colleagues in last month’s Addiction). The difference is so great that
it would appear France is doing something right while America is doing
something wrong. Treatment access is doubtless a factor, and one can
only speculate about the contribution of so-called US zero tolerance or
‘harm maximization’ policies as being related to the marked differences
in outcomes in what is essentially the same social phenomenon in two
very large, sometimes very tough cities on opposite sides of the
Atlantic. New York’s Rockefeller laws, with long mandatory jail terms
for relatively minor drug offences, seem not to have had the desired
effect, yet it seems they are politically very hard to reverse. It is
good to know that the US has finally introduced buprenorphine treatment
but sad to learn that, like methadone, most of the people who need it
either cannot afford it or it is simply find that it is not available in
their neighbourhood.

craziest thing… I came home after we kicked the cops out of Union Sq. (I’ll explain later) I opened a drawer to get some salt and a full bottle of Celebrex fell out. Its a 02 / 03 exp. but fuck it… better than nothing. I’ll let you know if it works. And I’ll call you later and tell you about union sq.
Howard, Glad you got that phone call, and I didn’t suggest it. But I’m glad you guys will talk.
Randy, please let me know what happened with your search yesterday.

Dear Jasen,

I’m very near the U.K if you think AUSTRALIAN , 20 minutes from Amsterdam
airport, in the countryside’
It is hard to give a straight answer. Only one person asked his methadone
back because he was too afraid to quit.
The rest left the house clean. A treatment from a 100+ mg of methado! ne is
two weeks.
in those two weeks a person gets as many booster doses, ( dose a Iboga
will give a person energy and take the pain away)
As needed, also magic mushroom which relaxed the muscles and help to restore
sleep for some it gives new insight about their Iboga treatment, and
Cannabis which is one of my sacrament and proven
To be of a great benefit to many people during their two weeks stay.
Santa-Maria will potentate the Iboga which means that you don’t need to take
high doses of Iboga.
I have done about 150 treatments, some repeated treatments of people who
need more then one treatment.
The success of the treatment is a combination of things, What DH has
suggested , a support system post -Ibo is one of them, or
If a person has a job, school, relationship or simply just new passion for
life.

All the best,

Sara

Dear Sara,
Thankyou for the detailed answer,your treatment sounds wonderful.
I am a bit c! urious about the mushrooms with the Iboga,the idea of tripping
whilst hanging
out is not very appealing,however I am sure you have reason.

Have you found that after 2 weeks all withdrawal is gone with meth patients?

USA: VA: WOMAN JAILED FOR LISTENING TO DOCTOR

Kimberly Bucklin sits in the Tazewell County jail, unfortunately
caught in the middle between a doctor who prescribed
methadone to help her break an OxyContin addiction, and a
judge who prohibited her from taking methadone when he
put her on probation.

The case presents a conflict between law enforcement and
the medical needs of recovering addicts. At a heariAugust
August 20 Judge Henry Vanover was asked to reconsider
his three-year prison sentence for Bucklin’s probation violation.
Dr. Robert G. Newman, testifying as an expert witness,
stated that methadone was an effective treatment that
when administered properly reduces criminality and allows
addicts to live normal lives. The case, was reopened at
the request of the American Civil Liberties Union and
drug treatment advocates. (Source: The Roanoke Times,
Laurence Hammack) For more information on this story:

GERMANY: “COLLABORATION BETWEEN PHYSICIAN
AND PHARMACIST IN ‘SUBSTITUTION TREATMENT’

Since the early 90s Germany has been in the forefront of
treatment by generalist physicians of opiate addiction with
methadone and other agonist medications. There has also
been major reliance on community-based pharmacies.
The experience has been excellent, as reported in a 2002
paper (in German) which concluded: “*collaboration
between physicians, pharmacists and patients contributed
greatly to minimizing the risks associated with this form
of treatment and is fundamental to the achievement of
optimal results.” It goes on to state that “every modern
pharmacy should participate [in this treatment].” Source:
Pallenbach. Pharmazie in unsere Zeit. 31(1):90-95, 2002

SCOTLAND: COMMUNITY PHARMACIES AS PARTNER
IN PROVIDING OPIATE ADDICTION SERVICES

“…the bulk of substitute prescribing takes place in a primary
care setting with community pharmacies dispensing . . . ”
Over 8,800 patients receive methadone in that setting, 65%
ingesting it under direct supervision. Excerpts from the conclusions:
majority of (non-addiction treatment) customers were supportive
of community pharmacies offering methadone and/or needle
exchange services; many had “limited understanding of the
rationale for methadone.” The final observation by the authors:
“This research should encourage more pharmacies to offer
drug misuse services . . . ”  (Lawrie et al. Drug and Alc RJune
June 2004; vol. 23:195-202)

“METHADONE RELATED DEATHS”

Methadone deaths continue to make the news in the US
and elsewhere. Accordingly, reliable data to cast light on
what is actually transpiring are essential. One important
study published last year reports on “methadone in
drug-related deaths in the west of Scotland.” The conclusion:
“after 1996 deaths involving methadone have decreased
despite both an increasing number of people being
prescribed methadone and an overall increase in drug-related
deaths. . . . The argument that methadone is an unsafe
alternativetherapy for opiate addiction is not supported by the
results of this study.” Note that in this part of Scotlamnd the
overwhelming majority of patients receive methadone prescribed
by office-based generalist physicians, and administered
(commonly under direct supervision) by community pharmacies.

CHINA:  GOVERNMENT SLOWLY INTRODUCES
METHADONE TREATMENT FOR OPIATE ADDICTION

With half of the estimated 1 million HIV infections in China
attributed to spread by intravenous drug use, and with
projections of HIV/AIDS reaching upwards of 10 million
people by 2010, the government has begun to change
its policies and practices.

After decades of ignoring addiction except through
attempts to crack down on supply, and by incarceration of
users in “camps,” Beijing officials are now urging local
governments to provide methadone treatment and
“harm reduction” methods such as needle exchange.
Eight methadone pilot programs have been launched
just this year in southern China, the center of the AIDS
problem. The programs are still small with each treating a
few hundred patients, but further expansion is anticipated.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s methadone program continues
to be considered a major success after almost 30 years of
continuous operation.

USA: ENDORSEMENT OF METHADONE
TREATMENT IN PRISON

Criminal Justice System agencies are generally
hostile towards methadone treatment, in jail or
anywhere else. Accordingly, it was gratifying to see a
ringing endorsement of methadone treatment in the prison
setting appear in a publication called Correction Professional
(vol 9, number 21, 16 Aug 04). The article quotes The
National Drug Court Institute: “80% of those who stick
with the [methadone] program reduce or eliminate
their criminal activity.”

USA – CONTINUING “METHADONE WOES” NOT
ATTRIBUTED TO ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAMS

Those battling local opposition to expansion of methadone
treatment services might consider an article of Dec. 29, 2003,
regarding Tazewell County in Western Virginia. The region
saw methadone-related deaths climb from 12 in 1999 to 62 in
2002, and roughly 70 in 2003. But the State’s medical examiner
for the district said “the circumstances . . . do not point toward
methadone clinics.” The chief of drug diversion for the State Police
agreed: “…methadone treatment clinics have played a minimal
role in methadone abuse in the region.” As for clinics becoming
magnets for drug crimes, Tazewell’s Deputy Police Chief “. . .
said his department has had a methadone clinic in its jurisdiction for
almost two years with little or no impact of drug abuse or
dealing.” Police in a neighboring city said that since its establishment
in 1997 they were called only once, “when a building security
alarm accidentally sounded.”.

Hey Sean, yea we do have some things in common. In another post you mention your self as a sceptical mystic (or similar). I refer to myself as a athiest mystic. hmmm.

An interesting parallel between Ibogaine and 12 step (though a weak parallel) is that when Bill W. had his mystical experience where he saw the “light” in the hospital it was after doing a hallucingen in the hospital. In my harm reduction program it is emphasized that many of us don’t try to get clean because we don’t beleive we can. I think there is an element of truth in it.

I did LifeRing for several years. I got alot out of it which is one of the reasons this round of meth addiction is not a heavy as it got before. I feel a paradigm shift coming (and needed), one that I hope is facilitated by Ibo.

Hi Dark Matters,

Sounds like we have much in common.  My crack/heroin use broke up my seven
year “marriage” with my lover.  I too went the secular AA route (and
SMART,RR)etc, always ending up back with a crack stem in my mouth and a straw up my nose,
and alter needle in the arm.

Most programs require a belief that they can work.  You know, the “work if
you work em” kinda thing.  After ibogaine, I believe in myself.  I could not
make that statement my whole 20 years in NA.
Pax,
Sean

my background:
I went to the jungle Amazonas to meet the Ayahuasca in 1994.
Later in 1996 i met S. Daime´s group.
I guess Daniel is a “fardado” or at least he´s close to Santo Daime´s group.
(Santo Daime means literally “Saint Give Me” :-))
www.santodaime.org
Don´t you have Chacruna, Rainha, Psycotria Viridis, available there?
There´s a reason to call it Rainha (Queen), and the fields where it grows
are called Reinados (kingdoms or should I say: queendoms).
Jurema, does not participate in Santo Daime´s brew. But you can make another
brew.
They (SD) use just Jagube (ayahuasca) and Rainha, to make all the Degraus,
Dobraus and Mel (mmmh!). Changing just, proportions and concentrations.
I understand that in Netherlands there are official Church Chapters of Santo
Daime.
The amount of Daime you take in a “trabajo”, depends of what kind of trabajo
is, and who is on command. You could be given even more that you can easily
“handle”, in a “trabalho de estrela” (star work) you´ll be given one (or
more) big copo (glass), of the brew, (i mean a BIG). But it is not (IT IS
NOT) a shamanic type of thing, it is a “trabajo de corriente”, closer than a
Kardecist kind of thing, so you don´t “react alone”, the brew will open
energetically you and your fellows and “something” like a circuit, an
egregor, is created, they´ll keep on singing/dancing (in an extremely neat &
ordered way).
So there´s no place to the “shamanic individual trip” (for the moment).
You ought to keep the “form” but if you deserve it, you´ll be grasp by “the
Force” and you´ll do your trip (your shamanic individual trip), and then
it´s OK, they enjoy and support you.
If your subttles body are mature you´ll go without faint, you´ll keep on
dancing and/or singing while you´re tripping, if not enough practised you´ll
just faint or fall to the floor, and you´ll do it from there.
You could make the brew a lot more visual or psychedellic adding Toé
(brugmansia or datura), but you´ll have something of your own creation, with
a different “toxycology” than Daime. You have to know in the community some
pregnant women may drink Daime (before, during and after
pregnancy/chilbirth), so close attention to toxicity.
Harmala may give a more “earthbound” sensation, but again you MUST diet a
few days, before and after, your body chemistry would be VERY altered
The firsts contacts with this force is difficult, hard to understand, you
have to overcome a lot of personal resistance. We are born in the
Instant-Quick society, and this is a process
¿why this people tell me what to do, and what not to do? In some moments, is
not the people is GAIA.
When you are “pegado” (= glued?), (being under the effects) you start to
“aparelhar” (i wont translate that), something like you “start to develope”
another “organs”, contact other dimensions, or something that is needed for
spiritual life, 6º sense, or… well, misteries of the Mestre (master).
Like in a physical trainning, you improve day after day, thru your
practise.<

I just want to point that a recreational trip, even with a IMAO mix,
is different than tripping with Daime, (not better not worse, just
different)

if you trip with Daime is not only because the”right dose”, is a sum of
things, and the result is always: if you tripped, you are “merecedor”. (you
are worth it) It´s Grace, a Blessing.
SD make the brew in an old fashion way, no machines involved, with constant
singing, males working with jagube, and women with rainha, they mix in the
end.
So when you drink it, you are drinking a sacrament wich has been made as a
sacrament, and I dare to guess that it would be brought by some fardado, “in
Hand” till the church.
I hope you don´t mind the mix between spanish & portugues.

Out of topic but interesting.
I love this list

Subject: RE: [ibogaine]the idea of tripping.

Hi Jasen,

Sometimes it is scary to think about tripping, but even without tripping
mushrooms in small amount can help you therapeutically.

It isn’t about fun, but about a rollercoaster, when you come out of it you
are happy to be alive. A short cut to transformation on many levels.

Here is something I like to share with you, about the help of plant
medicinal.

Dear Friends,
It is not always easy to work with Ayahuasca. There is for example the
demand to make and test the Ayahuasca that you are going to use on
yourself,
before you give it to anyone else. This process carries certain risks. I
have been looking for all kinds of different Ayahuasca mixes to work with.
I
want one that is visual, but also one that is powerful enough to keep us
in
its grip, and allow for steady visions, as well as the therapeutic
processes, that seem to come only when the visual effects are accompanied
by
a ‘no escape’ sensation.

These therapeutic effects are sometimes so powerful that even a person
with
quite lot of experience must go through a lot of pain and suffering. I
have
had a few death/re-birth experiences during the years that I took
Ayahuasca,
but last nights session was one of the most powerful I ever experienced,
so
I would like to tell you a little bit about it.

The admixture I was using is a mix of Mimosa Hostilis (Jurema) and
Banisteriopsis Caapi (Jagube). The latter was supplied by an online
supplier
for testing purposes only, and I was aware that it is an extract,
concentrated 10:1. The question is however what does this really mean? In
the Santo Daime churches there is a scale for expressing the strength of
Daime, ranging from Primeiro Degrau (first degree) then Doubrado (doubled)
and finally there is Mel (honey), the concentration of which is anyone’s
guess. How can such highly concentrated substances be tested, if not
simply
by taking some and praying that the dose is not too powerful?

Since my supplier had received the information that the Banisteriopsis
Caapi
10:1 mixture which came in the form of a dried powder meant that one gram
was a full dose, I began testing it (on my own) at half its strength. I
presumed that I would be able to feel the MAO action, as a shift in my
Serotonin level. Peganum Harmala (Syrian Rue) can be felt quite powerfully
after ingestion, and I presumed this would be true of the Caapi as well.
Indeed I did feel it some minutes after I ingested it, but I did not take
any DMT containing substance, and the effects went unnoticed after about
two
hours.

I decided to spend the Saturday at Sara’s house, and take a new dose there
with her. This time, I served myself a full dose of 1 gram (dissolved in
water) and drank a full does of Jurema a few minutes later. I gave Sara a
smaller dose, which was unnecessary I found out later, because she has had
much experience with Iboga, and that substance is much more powerful.
After
about half an hour the force of the Ayahuasca gripped me. I threw up, but
that did nothing to lessen the onslaught. It is hard to describe the
gripping force of the substance, but I felt as if my body and mind were
held
in a vice, a vice that was moving and flying through space and time. I was
unable to focus, and hardly able to sit still. I started to have my doubts
about the dosage, and to think that I had maybe made a mistake, perhaps
even
a lethal one. Sara on the other hand seemed fairly relaxed, lying on the
couch with a blanket over herself.

I decided that I would have to go all the way this time, even if it meant
dying, I wanted to lose it: just surrender to whatever it was that was
going
to happen. I started to say goodbye and thank all the people and spirits
that had been guiding me. Naturally there was a lot of sorrow, and I was
very grateful for Sara being there, and allowing me to express my
feelings.
I could not feel the end of the tunnel, but gradually as I resigned
myself,
the feelings of dread started to lift. Perhaps many years ago I would have
been unable to see that I had survived, but things have changed, and I
could
laugh again, still a little shaky but nonetheless a lot wiser.

I am so glad that I had that experience, and I know that such therapeutic
doses are what I wish to work with, but I have never allowed myself the
freedom to administer them myself, for the simple reason that I would
never
give someone something that I had not taken myself. Now I know what a high
dose I can administer, new possibilities open themselves, for those
friends
who wish to experience this for themselves, and have adequate guidance and
friendship and love around them while they are processing whatever comes
up,
such a dose is now available!

This session has allowed me to reconsider a number of things (including a
few personal matters as you may imagine) and one of the things I would
like
to try is to offer such healing works in small groups. There will be a
financial contribution to make, of around 85 -100 euros per session. The
way
I have arrived at this figure is by comparing the type of work going on at
the Santo Daime and other Ayahuasca groups. Therapeutic results reached
during such sessions normally occur only infrequently, the norm seems to
be
that one has to ask for a larger than normal dose, but in such large
groups
it is very hard to willingly take such large doses and allow the spirit of
the Ayahuasca to take over completely. Secondly, the substance itself
costs
quite a lot more to prepare than if it were made in large batches, such as
the Daime. Thirdly, any money left over after the costs of the substance
have been deducted, go towards the house where the session takes place, in
this case Sara’s home, which is a place where healing takes place, and
where
Iboga is used to help drug addicts free themselves. Sara tries to make
this
work affordable, but it is difficult for her to make ends meet, so I would
like to help her this way.

I’m so sorry Mark,
I have looked and looked, and do not remember what I did with it. Again,
if I do come across it I will give you every one of them, but for now, I do
not remember where they are. Tis a shame too, as I had boxes handed me the
first visit at my pain doc’s, you know, all the samples he’d been given by
the company. I mighta thrown them out as they did nothing at all for my
pain.
peace and love,
Preston

Dear Jasen,

I’m very near the U.K if you think AUSTRALIAN , 20 minutes from Amsterdam
airport, in the countryside’
It is hard to give a straight answer. Only one person asked his methadone
back because he was too afraid to quit.
The rest left the house clean. A treatment from a 100+ mg of methado! ne is
two weeks.
in those two weeks a person gets as many booster doses, ( dose a Iboga
will give a person energy and take the pain away)
As needed, also magic mushroom which relaxed the muscles and help to restore
sleep for some it gives new insight about their Iboga treatment, and
Cannabis which is one of my sacrament and proven
To be of a great benefit to many people during their two weeks stay.
Santa-Maria will potentate the Iboga which means that you don’t need to take
high doses of Iboga.
I have done about 150 treatments, some repeated treatments of people who
need more then one treatment.
The success of the treatment is a combination of things, What DH has
suggested , a support system post -Ibo is one of them, or
If a person has a job, school, relationship or simply just new passion for
life.

All the best,

Sara

Dear Sara,
Thankyou for the detailed answer,your treatment sounds wonderful.
I am a bit c! urious about the mushrooms with the Iboga,the idea of tripping
whilst hanging
out is not very appealing,however I am sure you have reason.

Have you found that after 2 weeks all withdrawal is gone with meth patients?

Hey Sara,
I know I’ve said this before, but a trip to your house seems like
something I’m really gonna have tp make someday or other. I gotta go get a
new passport first though, and oh, you know, scrape together some money and
the like, and living in Manhattan doesn’t exactly help me with that.
Peace and love and thanks kindly for posting this.

Hi Jasen,

Sometimes it is scary to think about tripping, but even without tripping
mushrooms in small amount can help you therapeutically.

It isn’t about fun, but about a rollercoaster, when you come out of it you
are happy to be alive. A short cut to transformation on many levels.

Here is something I like to share with you, about the help of plant
medicinal.

Dear Friends,
It is not always easy to work with Ayahuasca. There is for example the
demand to make and test the Ayahuasca that you are going to use on
yourself,
before you give it to anyone else. This process carries certain risks. I
have been looking for all kinds of different Ayahuasca mixes to work with.
I
want one that is visual, but also one that is powerful enough to keep us
in
its grip, and allow for steady visions, as well as the therapeutic
processes, that seem to come only when the visual effects are accompanied
by
a ‘no escape’ sensation.

These therapeutic effects are sometimes so powerful that even a person
with
quite lot of experience must go through a lot of pain and suffering. I
have
had a few death/re-birth experiences during the years that I took
Ayahuasca,
but last nights session was one of the most powerful I ever experienced,
so
I would like to tell you a little bit about it.

The admixture I was using is a mix of Mimosa Hostilis (Jurema) and
Banisteriopsis Caapi (Jagube). The latter was supplied by an online
supplier
for testing purposes only, and I was aware that it is an extract,
concentrated 10:1. The question is however what does this really mean? In
the Santo Daime churches there is a scale for expressing the strength of
Daime, ranging from Primeiro Degrau (first degree) then Doubrado (doubled)
and finally there is Mel (honey), the concentration of which is anyone’s
guess. How can such highly concentrated substances be tested, if not
simply
by taking some and praying that the dose is not too powerful?

Since my supplier had received the information that the Banisteriopsis
Caapi
10:1 mixture which came in the form of a dried powder meant that one gram
was a full dose, I began testing it (on my own) at half its strength. I
presumed that I would be able to feel the MAO action, as a shift in my
Serotonin level. Peganum Harmala (Syrian Rue) can be felt quite powerfully
after ingestion, and I presumed this would be true of the Caapi as well.
Indeed I did feel it some minutes after I ingested it, but I did not take
any DMT containing substance, and the effects went unnoticed after about
two
hours.

I decided to spend the Saturday at Sara’s house, and take a new dose there
with her. This time, I served myself a full dose of 1 gram (dissolved in
water) and drank a full does of Jurema a few minutes later. I gave Sara a
smaller dose, which was unnecessary I found out later, because she has had
much experience with Iboga, and that substance is much more powerful.
After
about half an hour the force of the Ayahuasca gripped me. I threw up, but
that did nothing to lessen the onslaught. It is hard to describe the
gripping force of the substance, but I felt as if my body and mind were
held
in a vice, a vice that was moving and flying through space and time. I was
unable to focus, and hardly able to sit still. I started to have my doubts
about the dosage, and to think that I had maybe made a mistake, perhaps
even
a lethal one. Sara on the other hand seemed fairly relaxed, lying on the
couch with a blanket over herself.

I decided that I would have to go all the way this time, even if it meant
dying, I wanted to lose it: just surrender to whatever it was that was
going
to happen. I started to say goodbye and thank all the people and spirits
that had been guiding me. Naturally there was a lot of sorrow, and I was
very grateful for Sara being there, and allowing me to express my
feelings.
I could not feel the end of the tunnel, but gradually as I resigned
myself,
the feelings of dread started to lift. Perhaps many years ago I would have
been unable to see that I had survived, but things have changed, and I
could
laugh again, still a little shaky but nonetheless a lot wiser.

I am so glad that I had that experience, and I know that such therapeutic
doses are what I wish to work with, but I have never allowed myself the
freedom to administer them myself, for the simple reason that I would
never
give someone something that I had not taken myself. Now I know what a high
dose I can administer, new possibilities open themselves, for those
friends
who wish to experience this for themselves, and have adequate guidance and
friendship and love around them while they are processing whatever comes
up,
such a dose is now available!

This session has allowed me to reconsider a number of things (including a
few personal matters as you may imagine) and one of the things I would
like
to try is to offer such healing works in small groups. There will be a
financial contribution to make, of around 85 -100 euros per session. The
way
I have arrived at this figure is by comparing the type of work going on at
the Santo Daime and other Ayahuasca groups. Therapeutic results reached
during such sessions normally occur only infrequently, the norm seems to
be
that one has to ask for a larger than normal dose, but in such large
groups
it is very hard to willingly take such large doses and allow the spirit of
the Ayahuasca to take over completely. Secondly, the substance itself
costs
quite a lot more to prepare than if it were made in large batches, such as
the Daime. Thirdly, any money left over after the costs of the substance
have been deducted, go towards the house where the session takes place, in
this case Sara’s home, which is a place where healing takes place, and
where
Iboga is used to help drug addicts free themselves. Sara tries to make
this
work affordable, but it is difficult for her to make ends meet, so I would
like to help her this way.

You are totally right-I hear SO much stuff about Meth or Subutex or whatever on the street and most of its bullshit!  Why is it addicts are so sure they know best?  I’ve just had a ‘discussion’ with someone about Subutex who just wouldn’t listen to anything I had to say.  I worry that I sound patronising or summat but he just would not listenm!  In the end I offered to SHOW him results/research/1st hand accounts on the Net but ofcourse he wasn’t interested. (It was over Subutex being addictive) I don’t think it would have mattered whatever I said-he had his opinion and was sticking to it!

And I agree-my drug problem was CAUSED by my problems with LIFE!  Getting rid of my H didn’t make my life better.  For a month or so I felt good cause I was clean but then you realise how nothing has changed!  Now I’m trying to find out what makes me happy and where I want MY life to go!

Lol Hannah 🙂

You are correct Hannah. This is and has been one of the more popular ‘Urban’ and ‘Suburban’ myths. Though baby boomers will be the only true test subjects of long term use, as far as chemicals go, methadone (unfortunately or fortunately) is a relatively safe drug. I know people don’t want to hear this and certainly don’t wish to believe it, but based on the research (not opinions) almost all of the shit you hear about meth comes from addicts and most addicts are just not informed.

Also I wanted to tell Shelly something, you did not fuck up at all. There are a couple of thoughts about this: the one most cliche but very true is plain and simple, life often is 2 steps forward-one step back. You are still ahead of the game. But I don’t think you even went back. This is the reason I do not think one’s specific goal should be “getting off drugs”. It is a great notion, but you need to understand and learn what about you and your life allows you to perpetuate an attitude and behavior that is negative for you or just something you no longer wish to do. Doing drugs is rarely the only problem or situation in your life that needs work. Correct?

What happens often in therapy is the drug abuse is the goal, and they are able to arrest that behavior but most of the time other patterns will develop e.g. overeating, isolation, total inactivity (depression that manifests as not working, lying in bed all day etc.) and a million others! This is because both therapist and patient believe the symptom is the problem. There is no doubt that in a culture such as ours, abuse and addiction to drugs is a problem and causes problems. BUT!!! People who have no issues to deal with that are self destructive try grugs, even do them for a while but are always able to control it. Those of us with ‘issues’ or ‘problems’ allow ourselves to commit to self destruction, a hurtful existence and in general negative patterns and that is what we should be seeking as a goal in any treatment. Shelly, we set ourselves up for disappointment and feelings of ‘failure’ because a symptom manifested in our lives and we have been taught that the symptom is the problem.

Shelly, I hope you believe me because I promise you this is the truth. YOU did not fuck up and of course YOU are not a fuck up. You experienced a symptom of something within you that needs to be dealt with. That is all. Have a really great day!

Sincerely,

Julian

Dear Sara,
Thankyou for the detailed answer,your treatment sounds wonderful.
I am a bit curious about the mushrooms with the Iboga,the idea of tripping
whilst hanging
out is not very appealing,however I am sure you have reason.

Have you found that after 2 weeks all withdrawal is gone with meth patients?

Jasen, Sorry you have a jaw ache. There is nothing anymore painful than a tooth extraction or ache.
I don’t remember the dose of Methadone you are on but as you know over 50mg blocks any ‘high’ or euphoria from opiates. This lasts a while after your last dose. It takes a while for your body to readjust to pre-methadone status.
I always find Ibuprofen or Vixx to help with dental pain. If you are on anticoagulants though you should not take anti inflammatory drugs as they act much like aspirin in thinning blood.
Hope you feel better today.

Hi Jasen,

Sometimes it is scary to think about tripping, but even without tripping
mushrooms in small amount can help you therapeutically.

It isn’t about fun, but about a rollercoaster, when you come out of it you
are happy to be alive. A short cut to transformation on many levels.

Here is something I like to share with you, about the help of plant
medicinal.

Dear Friends,
It is not always easy to work with Ayahuasca. There is for example the
demand to make and test the Ayahuasca that you are going to use on yourself,
before you give it to anyone else. This process carries certain risks. I
have been looking for all kinds of different Ayahuasca mixes to work with. I
want one that is visual, but also one that is powerful enough to keep us in
its grip, and allow for steady visions, as well as the therapeutic
processes, that seem to come only when the visual effects are accompanied by
a ‘no escape’ sensation.

These therapeutic effects are sometimes so powerful that even a person with
quite lot of experience must go through a lot of pain and suffering. I have
had a few death/re-birth experiences during the years that I took Ayahuasca,
but last nights session was one of the most powerful I ever experienced, so
I would like to tell you a little bit about it.

The admixture I was using is a mix of Mimosa Hostilis (Jurema) and
Banisteriopsis Caapi (Jagube). The latter was supplied by an online supplier
for testing purposes only, and I was aware that it is an extract,
concentrated 10:1. The question is however what does this really mean? In
the Santo Daime churches there is a scale for expressing the strength of
Daime, ranging from Primeiro Degrau (first degree) then Doubrado (doubled)
and finally there is Mel (honey), the concentration of which is anyone’s
guess. How can such highly concentrated substances be tested, if not simply
by taking some and praying that the dose is not too powerful?

Since my supplier had received the information that the Banisteriopsis Caapi
10:1 mixture which came in the form of a dried powder meant that one gram
was a full dose, I began testing it (on my own) at half its strength. I
presumed that I would be able to feel the MAO action, as a shift in my
Serotonin level. Peganum Harmala (Syrian Rue) can be felt quite powerfully
after ingestion, and I presumed this would be true of the Caapi as well.
Indeed I did feel it some minutes after I ingested it, but I did not take
any DMT containing substance, and the effects went unnoticed after about two
hours.

I decided to spend the Saturday at Sara’s house, and take a new dose there
with her. This time, I served myself a full dose of 1 gram (dissolved in
water) and drank a full does of Jurema a few minutes later. I gave Sara a
smaller dose, which was unnecessary I found out later, because she has had
much experience with Iboga, and that substance is much more powerful. After
about half an hour the force of the Ayahuasca gripped me. I threw up, but
that did nothing to lessen the onslaught. It is hard to describe the
gripping force of the substance, but I felt as if my body and mind were held
in a vice, a vice that was moving and flying through space and time. I was
unable to focus, and hardly able to sit still. I started to have my doubts
about the dosage, and to think that I had maybe made a mistake, perhaps even
a lethal one. Sara on the other hand seemed fairly relaxed, lying on the
couch with a blanket over herself.

I decided that I would have to go all the way this time, even if it meant
dying, I wanted to lose it: just surrender to whatever it was that was going
to happen. I started to say goodbye and thank all the people and spirits
that had been guiding me. Naturally there was a lot of sorrow, and I was
very grateful for Sara being there, and allowing me to express my feelings.
I could not feel the end of the tunnel, but gradually as I resigned myself,
the feelings of dread started to lift. Perhaps many years ago I would have
been unable to see that I had survived, but things have changed, and I could
laugh again, still a little shaky but nonetheless a lot wiser.

I am so glad that I had that experience, and I know that such therapeutic
doses are what I wish to work with, but I have never allowed myself the
freedom to administer them myself, for the simple reason that I would never
give someone something that I had not taken myself. Now I know what a high
dose I can administer, new possibilities open themselves, for those friends
who wish to experience this for themselves, and have adequate guidance and
friendship and love around them while they are processing whatever comes up,
such a dose is now available!

This session has allowed me to reconsider a number of things (including a
few personal matters as you may imagine) and one of the things I would like
to try is to offer such healing works in small groups. There will be a
financial contribution to make, of around 85 -100 euros per session. The way
I have arrived at this figure is by comparing the type of work going on at
the Santo Daime and other Ayahuasca groups. Therapeutic results reached
during such sessions normally occur only infrequently, the norm seems to be
that one has to ask for a larger than normal dose, but in such large groups
it is very hard to willingly take such large doses and allow the spirit of
the Ayahuasca to take over completely. Secondly, the substance itself costs
quite a lot more to prepare than if it were made in large batches, such as
the Daime. Thirdly, any money left over after the costs of the substance
have been deducted, go towards the house where the session takes place, in
this case Sara’s home, which is a place where healing takes place, and where
Iboga is used to help drug addicts free themselves. Sara tries to make this
work affordable, but it is difficult for her to make ends meet, so I would
like to help her this way.

As I tried to say before, V and I are in total agreement with her continuing
to dool my script out to me. That way at those times when I think, “gosh, I

Ibogaine, five days after stopping the Sub, but please verify those facts, I

Subject: Re: [ibogaine] Weening from methadone with H

ROFL;
Very reminiscent of when I kicked a 50-60 Perkoset habit, about 6 weeks
before I got out of college, and tried keeping myself feeling ! OK by taking
about 10 Ultram a day. All I did was drag it out from the week (apx) of
hell, had I just gone “cold turkey”, into a week of hell, followed by 4-5
more weeks of feeling almost as bad. Ahhhhh …. If I’d only known then,
what I know now ….. well, you all know the story.

Julie: I had similar thoughts a few months ago, when I jumped off of an 8 –
12, 80mg Oxy a day habit. I even had a pharmacist agree with me, but was
not able to give me anything without a Dr.’s ok. Although I was mainly on
Oxycontin, I had been taking Methadone at night for a while, so I would wake
up feeling a little less dead.

Anyway, the thought (of a few of us) was to give me some Oxycodone IR
(Instant Release), for a couple of weeks, so the Methadone would have a
little time to leave my body, before switching to Suboxone, which was a very
rough transition for me, whether from my Dr. under RX’ing me for the first
week, or actually from the Meth, I ! can’t be sure, but I suspect both
played
a part. However, I did not have it as rough as those that jumped straight
from a full dose of Methadone to Suboxone.

The switching drugs is a great idea in theory, but I just made the jump from
Oxycontin to Suboxone, just about a week ago and had a couple extra Oxy’s
and some of the Oxy IR, so I could go through an easier transition. Guess
what? I polished it all off, Sunday night, when I had planned on tapering
until Tuesday (at least Monday). I still think it’s a valid idea; just not
one we tend to follow through with. If you could handle some Hydrocodone or
Morphine, AND have someone who can dole them out to you, I think you’d be
much better served.
My best wishes are with you,
Charlie

Dear Jasen,

I’m very near the U.K if you think AUSTRALIAN , 20 minutes from Amsterdam
airport, in the countryside’
It is hard to give a straight answer. Only one person asked his methadone
back because he was too afraid to quit.
The rest left the house clean. A treatment from a 100+ mg of methadone is
two weeks.
in those two weeks a person gets as many booster doses,  ( dose a Iboga
will give a person energy and take the pain away)
As needed, also magic mushroom which relaxed the muscles and help to restore
sleep for some it gives new insight about their Iboga treatment, and
Cannabis which is one of my sacrament and proven
To be of a great benefit to many people during their two weeks stay.
Santa-Maria will potentate the Iboga which means that you don’t need to take
high doses of Iboga.
I have done about 150 treatments, some repeated treatments of people who
need more then one treatment.
The success of the treatment is a combination of things, What DH has
suggested , a support system post -Ibo is one of them, or
If a person has a job, school, relationship or simply just new passion for
life.

All the best,

Sara

Dear Sara,
Thankyou for the detailed answer,your treatment sounds wonderful.
I am a bit curious about the mushrooms with the Iboga,the idea of tripping

Have you found that after 2 weeks all withdrawal is gone with meth patients?

Anticapitalists, Marijuana Advocates Real Estate Barons?

By COLIN MOYNIHAN

Published: August 30, 2004

ver the decades the Yippies have become infamous as a counterculture group
known for colorful pranks and criticizing capitalism. Recently, though, the
group entered the world of high-stakes Manhattan real estate, buying the
East
Village building that has been its longtime headquarters for $1.2 million.
Advertisement

In 1973, a few members of the group – begun by Abbie Hoffman, known for
scattering dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and
others
and officially called the Youth International Party – moved into the
three-story building at 9 Bleecker Street, near the Bowery. Over the years
their! monthly
rent rose to more than $8,000 from $675. In 2000 the building was sold, and
the Yippies faced eviction.
After months of negotiation, however, a deal was reached that will allow the
group, which first entered public consciousness during the Chicago Seven
political conspiracy trial following widespread disturbances during the 1968
Democratic convention, to hold onto its spiritual home.
A partnership formed with Yippie Holdings and an advocacy group called the
National AIDS Brigade paid the former owner, Harlan Berger, $100,000, said a
Yippie leader, Dana Beal, who has lived in the building since 1973. Mr.
Berger
offered a loan in the form of a mortgage, Mr. Beal added, which the Yippies
will
pay off at the rate of about $11,000 per month. The partnership will form a
nonprofit organization, Mr. Beal said, and turn the building into a Yippie
museum and an advocacy center to fight transmission of AIDS.
Mr. Beal said that since! the Yippies co-own the building, he planned to use
the property as equity to quickly get loans to pay off the $1.1 million owed
to
Mr. Berger. He said he also planned to use air rights to build an additional
story on the roof that could be sold or rented.
Mr. Berger did not return calls from this reporter, but a lawyer who
represented him in the transfer, Andrew Albstein, said the deed had been
turned over
to the Yippies.
For the two dozen or so veteran Yippies who are still in New York, as well
as
a handful of others scattered across the country, the building is far more
than a pile of bricks and mortar in a gentrifying district.
“Smoke-ins, rallies, protests,” Mr. Beal said, in a chair on the building’s
cluttered second floor. “This is where it all happened for us.”
Stacks of newspapers and books lined the loft-like room, including “My Life
in Garbology,” in which the Yippie A. J. Weberman described what he found
while
roo! ting through the trash of such diverse figures as Bob Dylan and the
former
F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover. Antiwar posters adorned the walls, and
several cats prowled the premises.
“This place is a temple of insurrection,” said Aron Kay, another longtime
Yippie.
There is plenty of history at No. 9, as the building is affectionately known
to visitors. It was there that newspapers like The Yipster Times, later
called
Overthrow, was published.
Demonstrations during national political conventions were planned there, as
were annual pot parades calling for the legalization of marijuana. A scarred
wooden door in the basement is a reminder of the day in 1981 that someone
set
off a bomb in front of the building.
Mr. Beal said he would also use the building as a base to advocate the
legalization of ibogaine, a derivative of an African shrub that he said has
the
ability to interrupt addiction to dangerous substances, like heroin.
An! d, of course, the Yippies being Yippies, the building has been abuzz
with
preparations for the Republican convention. In the past weeks, people have
gathered on the ground floor, where they painted signs to carry in protests
during
the convention.
“Yippies haven’t missed a convention since 1964,” Mr. Beal said. “And this
one is only a few blocks away.”

Overdose deaths attributed to methadone and heroin in New York City,
1990-1998. Bryant WK, Galea S, Tracy M, Markham Piper T, Tardiff KJ,
Vlahov D. Addiction (2004) 99: 846-854 (July)

Dear Colleagues,

This comprehensive review of coroner’s records yields important
information on the relative harms of street heroin versus prescribed and
street methadone in a large city during a period of continued increases
in both ‘markets’. This group from the New York Academy of Medicine
quotes the origin of this study as suggestions that methadone was
‘killing more people than heroin’ (in the 1990s in England, where
supervised dosing was exceptional). Some even advised that opioid
maintenance treatment be reviewed or even withdrawn for this reason
(Newcombe, 1996).

From 1990-98 the number of patients in NYC on methadone maintenance
treatment (MMT) increased from 26,000 to 34,000 yet the number of deaths
in which methadone was a contributor varied between 85 and 145 each year
with no trend. Out of a total of 7451 overdose deaths reported during
the 9 year study period, only 121 (1.6%) deaths were due to methadone
alone. Another 900 (12%) were reported as due to methadone, in
combination with cocaine (40%), heroin (30%), alcohol (41%). There was
an overlap of 400 deaths in which both heroin and methadone contributed.

Heroin deaths increased from 300 to almost 700 per year in the first 4
years of the study period after which they levelled off and then dropped
to around 500 annually in the last 3 years. These were more likely to be
‘single drug’ overdoses of which there were around 900, comprising 20%
of all deaths attributed to heroin.

During most years of the study there were 3 to 6 times as many deaths
from heroin as from methadone with an upward trend for heroin and no
trend for methadone (p=0.16) from 1990 to 1998. Males accounted for 80%
of the deaths with an even split of white, black and Hispanic at 33% each.

Considering the 5 boroughs of New York City, (Manhattan, Queens,
Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island) this would appear to be up to 100
overdose deaths per million population annually overall. This compares
with Australian figures of between 20 and 40 for the same period, up to
20 in the UK and as low as 2 in some European countries such as Holland
and Switzerland. These figures seem to reflect the degree of ‘zero
tolerance’ policy implementation, with lower mortality rates being seen
with the introduction of harm reduction measures such as buprenorphine,
methadone, injecting rooms, needle services and heroin prescription
trials.

The authors report an ‘intriguing’ and unexplained finding that Staten
Island had a much lower rate of overdose death (2.4% of the total). They
recommend further study of how some areas, despite no shortage of drug
users, report much lower fatality rates. They speculate on the possible
effects of income levels and poverty by region.

The message from this study is that one can expand methadone treatment
in an urban setting AND permit take-away doses (nearly all NYC MMT
patients receive ‘Sunday bottles’) WITHOUT a corresponding increase in
overdose deaths from methadone. Indeed, there is probably a
corresponding reduction in the number of heroin overdoses, although this
is harder to measure with the long time frames involved here.

Hey list,

After all the talk about Valis on the mindvox. ibo site and the general Dick talk in the ibogaine story at cures not wars, I finally went and read Valis.  Very powerful book.
Funny, it has that just what I have been looking for feeling. As a mystical skeptic myself, I have always felt rather alone in this rare philosophical spot.  The idea of the two legged God is certainly one I can relate too.  All those qualities which are put on the transcendental God are reflected back to their origin.  Love, peace, wisdom, compassion…that’s what we can be..if only we believe.

THE LAWS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY




The corporate hierarchy flows like this: Oil, chemicals, 
pharmaceuticals — all three of which poison the human frame and 
pollute the environment. The interests of corporations and the 
interests of governments have merged. Government sets policies and 
passes laws forcing the world to accept the Big Three’s toxic arsenal 
into their bodies, into their air, into their water and into their 
food. Record numbers of people, animals and ecosystems are sickening 
and dying from over exposure to these known toxins, yet government 
refuses to amend its policies where oil, chemicals and 
pharmaceuticals are concerned. Following is a description of the 
principles guiding the Big Three’s murky light into our lives. It is 
paramount that people understand the relationship of poison producers 
and the governments enabling them. 

by Dr. Matthias Rath 

1. The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry driven by 
the profits of its shareholders. Improving human health is not the 
driving force of this industry. 

2. The pharmaceutical investment industry was artificially created 
and strategically developed over an entire century by the same 
investment groups that control the global petrochemical and chemical 
industries. 

3. The huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry are based on the 
patenting of new drugs. These patents essentially allow drug 
manufacturers to arbitrarily define the profits for their products. 

4. The marketplace for the pharmaceutical industry is the human body -
- but only for as long as the body hosts diseases. Thus, maintaining 
and expanding diseases is a precondition for the growth of the 
pharmaceutical industry. 

5. A key strategy to accomplish this goal is the development of drugs 
that merely mask symptoms while avoiding the curing or elimination of 
diseases. This explains why most prescription drugs marketed today 
have no proven efficacy and merely target symptoms. 

6. To further expand their pharmaceutical market, the drug companies 
are continuously looking for new applications (indications) for the 
use of drugs they already market. For example, Bayer’s pain pill 
Aspirin is now taken by 50 million healthy U.S. citizens under the 
illusion it will prevent heart attacks. 

7. Another key strategy to expand pharmaceutical markets is to cause 
new diseases with drugs. While merely masking symptoms short term, 
most of the prescription drugs taken by millions of patients today 
cause a multitude of new diseases as a result of their known long-
term side effects. For example, all cholesterol-lowering drugs 
currently on the market are known to increase the risk of developing 
cancer — but only after the patient has been taking the drug for 
several years. 

8. The known deadly side effects of prescription drugs are the fourth 
leading cause of death in the industrialized world, surpassed only by 
the number of deaths from heart attacks, cancer and strokes (Journal 
of the American Medical Association, April 15, 1998). This fact is no 
surprise either, because drug patents are primarily issued for new 
synthetic molecules. All synthetic molecules need to be detoxified 
and eliminated from the body, a system that frequently fails and 
results in an epidemic of severe and deadly side effects. 

9. While the promotion and expansion of diseases increase the market 
of the pharmaceutical investment industry – prevention and root cause 
treatment of diseases decrease long-term profitability; therefore, 
they are avoided or even obstructed by this industry. 

10. Worst of all, the eradication of diseases is, by its very nature, 
incompatible with and diametrically opposed to the interests of the 
pharmaceutical investment industry. The eradication of diseases now 
considered as potential drug markets will destroy billions of 
investment dollars and eventually will eliminate this entire 
industry. 

11. Vitamins and other effective natural health therapies that 
optimize cellular metabolism threaten the pharmaceutical “business 
with disease” because they target the cellular cause of today’s most 
common diseases — and these natural substances cannot be patented. 

12. Throughout the more than one hundred year existence of the 
pharmaceutical industry, vitamins and other essential nutrients, with 
defined functions as cofactors in cellular metabolism, have been the 
fiercest competition and the greatest threat to the long-term success 
of the pharmaceutical investment business. 

13. Vitamins and other effective natural health therapies that 
effectively prevent diseases are incompatible with the very nature of 
the pharmaceutical “business with disease.” 

14. To protect the strategic development of its investment business 
against the threat from effective, natural and non-patentable 
therapies, the pharmaceutical industry has — over an entire century -
used the most unscrupulous methods, such as: 

(1) Withholding life-saving health information from millions of 
people. It is simply unacceptable that today so few know that the 
human body cannot produce vitamin C and lysine, two key molecules for 
connective tissue stability and disease prevention. 

(2) Discrediting natural health therapies. The most common way is 
through global PR campaigns organized by the Pharma-Cartel that 
spread lies about the alleged side effects of natural substances — 
molecules that have been used by Nature for millennia. 

(3) Banning by law the dissemination of information about natural 
health therapies. To that end, the pharmaceutical industry has placed 
its lobbyists in key political positions in key markets and leading 
drug export nations. 

15. The pharmaceutical “business with disease” is the largest 
deception and fraud business in human history. The product “health” 
promised by drug companies is not delivered to millions of patients. 
Instead, the “products” most often delivered are the opposite: new 
diseases and frequently, death. 

16. The survival of the pharmaceutical industry is dependent on the 
elimination by any means of effective natural health therapies. These 
natural and non-patentable therapies have become the treatment of 
choice for millions of people despite the combined economic, 
political and media opposition of the world’s largest investment 
industry. 

*** 

Dr. Matthias Rath is one of the world’s most ardent practioners of 
orthomolecular medicine (the use of high-potency supplements and 
nutritional therapy to correct bodily imbalances at the root of ill 
health). He has also been on the front lines of the world-wide effort 
to stop Codex Alimentarius — organized medicines’s attempt to use 
governments to regulate vitamins, herbs, botanicals and supplements 
so that a licensed physician will be required before people may 
obtain them for health purposes.

Peace,

“I can’t think of any greater harm to humanity than the kind that’s done by good people who embrace a bad cause. So perhaps the greatest mistake ever made is to not fully understand what you believe in.” Marilyn vos Savant

Hi Dark Matters,

Sounds like we have much in common.  My crack/heroin use broke up my seven year “marriage” with my lover.  I too went the secular AA route (and SMART,RR)etc, always ending up back with a crack stem in my mouth and a straw up my nose, and alter needle in the arm.

Most programs require a belief that they can work.  You know, the “work if you work em” kinda thing.  After ibogaine, I believe in myself.  I could not make that statement my whole 20 years in NA.

Oh Howard, you’ll find this funny. I’m on my way back from the UN Rally
( Dag Hammerskold Plaza ) and I bump into none other than Mr. Alan Keyes! I told him I was a “republican for peace” and I have always been a big fan since his days on Bill Maher (all bullshit of course) anyway then I ask him if he knows anything about ibogaine. He said it sounded familar but refresh his memory. Now all his people are listening to this whole thing in front of the W hotel. I say how I was born in IL. and I know that inner cities in Chicago are full of drugs and that the black commuinty has been affected especailly hard and that what if they knew that there potential salvation was is a natural substance grown only in Africa that is illegal only here and another handful of counrties thast are full of drug compaines? Then without him having a chance to respond I worked the republicn agenda a little talking about tax dollars and all wasted money going to for medicaid to send people in and out of detoxes at 10K a head and thats when it got good. I mean I had him! So he gave me his email address said he could comment until he had more facts and asked me to send him more info. I’m digging for it now and I’m having a hard time finidng it but maybe I’ll send him to your site if your open to it.
I found it very enjoyable. -M.

Anticapitalists, Marijuana Advocates Real Estate Barons?

By COLIN MOYNIHAN

Published: August 30, 2004

ver the decades the Yippies have become infamous as a counterculture group
known for colorful pranks and criticizing capitalism. Recently, though, the
group entered the world of high-stakes Manhattan real estate, buying the East
Village building that has been its longtime headquarters for $1.2 million.
Advertisement

In 1973, a few members of the group – begun by Abbie Hoffman, known for
scattering dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and others
and officially called the Youth International Party – moved into the
three-story building at 9 Bleecker Street, near the Bowery. Over the years their monthly
rent rose to more than $8,000 from $675. In 2000 the building was sold, and
the Yippies faced eviction.
After months of negotiation, however, a deal was reached that will allow the
group, which first entered public consciousness during the Chicago Seven
political conspiracy trial following widespread disturbances during the 1968
Democratic convention, to hold onto its spiritual home.
A partnership formed with Yippie Holdings and an advocacy group called the
National AIDS Brigade paid the former owner, Harlan Berger, $100,000, said a
Yippie leader, Dana Beal, who has lived in the building since 1973. Mr. Berger
offered a loan in the form of a mortgage, Mr. Beal added, which the Yippies will
pay off at the rate of about $11,000 per month. The partnership will form a
nonprofit organization, Mr. Beal said, and turn the building into a Yippie
museum and an advocacy center to fight transmission of AIDS.
Mr. Beal said that since the Yippies co-own the building, he planned to use
the property as equity to quickly get loans to pay off the $1.1 million owed to
Mr. Berger. He said he also planned to use air rights to build an additional
story on the roof that could be sold or rented.
Mr. Berger did not return calls from this reporter, but a lawyer who
represented him in the transfer, Andrew Albstein, said the deed had been turned over
to the Yippies.
For the two dozen or so veteran Yippies who are still in New York, as well as
a handful of others scattered across the country, the building is far more
than a pile of bricks and mortar in a gentrifying district.
“Smoke-ins, rallies, protests,” Mr. Beal said, in a chair on the building’s
cluttered second floor. “This is where it all happened for us.”
Stacks of newspapers and books lined the loft-like room, including “My Life
in Garbology,” in which the Yippie A. J. Weberman described what he found while
rooting through the trash of such diverse figures as Bob Dylan and the former
F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover. Antiwar posters adorned the walls, and
several cats prowled the premises.
“This place is a temple of insurrection,” said Aron Kay, another longtime
Yippie.
There is plenty of history at No. 9, as the building is affectionately known
to visitors. It was there that newspapers like The Yipster Times, later called
Overthrow, was published.
Demonstrations during national political conventions were planned there, as
were annual pot parades calling for the legalization of marijuana. A scarred
wooden door in the basement is a reminder of the day in 1981 that someone set
off a bomb in front of the building.
Mr. Beal said he would also use the building as a base to advocate the
legalization of ibogaine, a derivative of an African shrub that he said has the
ability to interrupt addiction to dangerous substances, like heroin.
And, of course, the Yippies being Yippies, the building has been abuzz with
preparations for the Republican convention. In the past weeks, people have
gathered on the ground floor, where they painted signs to carry in protests during
the convention.
“Yippies haven’t missed a convention since 1964,” Mr. Beal said. “And this
one is only a few blocks away.”

Just bought the NYTimes for the first time in years, and lo and behold, I
was there during the NYTimes visit to Dana’s, and I know that to be the case
’cause I’m in the photo (see attachment- I’m second from left, in profile,
if you can even make that out in this scanned newspaper photo) on page B3.
I spoke to Dana and a couple of guys outside 9 Bleeker today and these other
two guys, not Dana, were of the impression that we were smoking a joint in
this photo, but that is definitely not the case, because all the younger
folk in the room were so paranoid about the Times folk they refused to smoke
until the two Times men were gone.
LOL.
Peace and love all,

As I just noted on Jules’ Newsroom-L list,
I was at 9 Bleecker when the NYTimes reporter was there, and his photog
was
taking photos.
I’d been told (by someone who will remain unidentified- it was NOT the
reporter though) it was to be an article about ibogaine, but when I and
others showed up at the house, it turned out to be an article about Dana
Beal and the Yippies.

This is on topic only because they mention Dana’s work

Callie,

BTW, I think you were right- I might have just been
making excuses to use some H again.  Posing my
questions to the list just put it all in perspective.

And also:  I agree with Jim- what you did for your
father was VERY nice, and I’m sure a lot of us would
consider doing exactly the same thing if our fathers
were in the same position as yours.  At 70, comfort
and happiness should be on the top of his lists of
priorities.  🙂

Once again, kudos and gracias,

Julie

Hi Callie,

What you did for your dad was very nice.  As a Lortab user I know that when you try to cut back there is a tremendos depression.  I have experienced it many times.  When you increase his dose it does not get him “high” as you know, it just gets him normal.  However, should you mention this to his doc I would be willing to bet that the doc will give him some SSRIs for the depression.  Strange, he went 70 years without SSRIs and now he needs it.  You did the right thing, your a sweetheart.

Best to you Callie

Does it boil down to wanting euphoria

I do miss that euphoria! That is the reason I loved opiates or love opiates so much!
My Dad had Prostate cancer that is responding well to treatment, really well. His bloodwork is all back in normal ranges and his treatments are over for now. His Doc cut out his Lortab 7.5’s. My Dad is a fucking wreck emotionally! I feel really bad for him. He only takes 3 or 4 a day and he is a mess without them.
Well, being the caretaking enabler I am, I have a friend who sells her script monthly so I bought it for my Dad.
When I went in he looked a mess. When I gave him that bottle of Lortabs he became so happy! Almost tearful!
He said he has been so depressed since he ran out. Said he hated everything. I feel so bad for him.
Well, I went over the next day and he was dressed his usual dapper way, his apartment was clean and he was cooking a big pot of white beans. All this change just over a few Lortab.
He said he felt better, had been to church and loved everybody again today! hahaha! I know it isn’t funny but my Dad is almost 70 years old and has cancer!
If giving him 90 Lortab a month will keep him this happy, I plan to buy that script for him every month.
I did talk to him and told him that Lortabs were essentially how I started out. Of course, this is hard for him to believe because all he remembers is the track marks and abscess I had that ‘showed’ him I was an addict.
I may be making a HUGE mistake. I do not want to turn my Dad into an addict but I can’t stand to see him the way he was without them.

Euphoria is addictive! That was my point to start out and I got off telling about Daddy but the euphoria is what has him hooked now!
Life is hard….isn’t it?

There is nothing more phoney than the “war on drugs.” For instance,
the CIA has been in the drug-running business for decades… big
time.  DEA officials “do it.” Politicians also. Large banks must
have the cash
flow from the drug trade to survive. But to make it appear real the
small fry must pay. Here is one man’s attempt to “level the playing
field” …

Cops smell rodent at ‘rat’-outing Web site
By Tom Farmer and Jennifer Rosinski, Boston Herald
Monday, August 23, 2004

A North Shore man’s Web site that encourages the posting of
informants’ identities and personal information about law
enforcement officers is drawing criticism from authorities in
Oklahoma.

The “Who’s A Rat” site (www.whosarat.com) was not put on the
Internet last week to endanger law officers or informants, said
founder Sean Bucci. Instead, it was posted to assist defense
attorneys and defendants with limited resources prepare for trial,
he said.

“It’s something that’s been needed for a long time. I’m trying to
level the playing field,” said Bucci, 31, who is fighting marijuana
dealing charges that landed him in jail for almost a year thanks to
a “heroin junkie and crack addict” snitch, whose stories led the DEA
to mount cameras on a pole in front of his house for nine months.

“From that I got a deep, deep hate for the system for the way they
handle informants. It’s sick. They take these big fish to catch
minnows,” said Bucci, a North Shore resident. “The site was designed
as just a tool to help people.”

But authorities in Oklahoma are among those questioning the site’s
accuracy and calling it irresponsible. Oklahoma City police Capt.
Jeffrey Becker says the
site could jeopardize undercover officers and informants.

The service, which is free, also offers listings for defense
attorneys. Bucci warns he has the right to edit or delete any
material that goes beyond free speech.

The site boasts it is the first of its kind and legal based on case
law Bucci has posted.

“Keep up the fight and never give in,” Bucci tells browsers.

Of course they’re not but they did manage to buy the
building. Somewhat snarky tone to the piece I thought,
but still interesting to an old hippie.

Libby

Over the decades the Yippies have become infamous as a
counterculture group known for colorful pranks and
criticizing capitalism. Recently, though, the group
entered the world of high-stakes Manhattan real
estate, buying the East Village building that has been
its longtime headquarters for $1.2 million.

In 1973, a few members of the group – begun by Abbie
Hoffman, known for scattering dollar bills onto the
floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and others and
officially called the Youth International Party –
moved into the three-story building at 9 Bleecker
Street, near the Bowery. Over the years their monthly
rent rose to more than $8,000 from $675. In 2000 the
building was sold, and the Yippies faced eviction.

After months of negotiation, however, a deal was
reached that will allow the group, which first entered
public consciousness during the Chicago Seven
political conspiracy trial following widespread
disturbances during the 1968 Democratic convention, to
hold onto its spiritual home.

Here’s an article that rather fits into the recent
discussion on rehab. How unsurprising that ibogaine, a
natural substance is not mentioned but they do mention
expanding the use of these chemicals to eventually
“cure” cannabis addiction.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/T/TREATING_ADDICTION?SITE=CALOS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

NEW YORK (AP) — Can Prozac help you kick cocaine? Can
Ritalin? How about a blood pressure pill or medicine
for muscle spasms? If you’re an alcoholic, could you
get help staying sober by taking an anti-nausea drug
used by cancer patients?

Scientists are exploring those questions right now. In
fact, in the field of addiction medicine, one of the
hottest sources of new drugs is … old drugs. Despite
years of research, there is no drug approved in the
United States for treating cocaine dependence. To find
such a treatment, the National Institute on Drug Abuse
is sponsoring human studies of 21 medicines already on
the market for something else. That’s about two-thirds
of all the potential cocaine drugs being tested in
people, says Frank Vocci, director of NIDA’s
pharmacotherapy division.

Over at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, nearly all the potential alcoholism drugs
tested in people under institute sponsorship over the
past 10 years were previously approved for some other
use, says Raye Litten, co-leader of the institute’s
medications development team.

While the strategy is hardly new, “it’s been going on
maybe just a bit below the radar screen” for most of
the public, Vocci said.

It can certainly work. In 1997, for example, the
government approved a stop-smoking pill called Zyban,
which was in fact the older antidepressant Wellbutrin.

To be sure, experts haven’t given up on developing new
drugs. Most NIAAA-funded drug studies for alcoholism
that are in early stage testing – not yet tried on
people – are brand-new drugs, Litten said.

But the notion of examining current drugs for
addiction-breaking potential holds several advantages.
It’s a lot cheaper to get federal approval for a new
use of an old drug than to bring a completely new
medicine to market. And experience with an existing
drug gives an idea of its safety and dose range for
possible anti-addiction effects, Vocci said.

By the way I stopped being a vegetarian after being one for 27 years, after

I’m not a great meat eater but I’m more flexible, as long as it not a

Besides simply empathizing with the poor beasties, I find I cannot, or at
least do not at all want to eat processed food, as little as possible. Milk
is a bit processed, and cheese, but I don’t eat oatmeal suddenly (instant I
mean) and I don’t eat so much other stuff I ate before, you know, all the,

Many psycho-active plants give the experience of  Death/trauma.
It is part of the understanding that the plant teacher is trying to give
us.intence but
that will mostly give us more respect to life and living, the instinct of
staying alive is activated.
Then you like to share those values with other community member.  this
understanding other people can get only by having experienced the plant.
also not everyone who hears the sound like to listen to it. That is the
difference between the intensions & understanding of different people.
Some just like to try another drug and some feel that we are connected to
the plant teacher as a whole.

I think that’s entirely possible Anne.
As someone else told me recently, ibogaine does not give us what we
want, but rather, it gives us what we need. Perhaps, and I am a little loath
to write it, that is what you needed- to be at peace with the idea that you
are an addict and are supposed to using something or other that the The Man
has decreed illegal.
The whole, “this drug good, this drug bad” irks me to no end (btw,
thanks for the kind word the other Rickard L). Some of us were designed by
either nature or god (not sure really in my own mind which to be honest) to
be using some drug(s) and it is more of a sin to tell us we must stop using
or we’re going to really be screwed royally by The Man and his lackies for
our own good.
Perhaps ibogaine allowed you to rest easy with the idea that you are an
addict, and you are the only one who can really know this Anne.
Peace and love,
Preston

Note I’m (Preston) responding to:

Thanks to Chuck Dederich – we now have brain police and that ilk running our
newest mind prisons – aka rehabs.  I spent two and a half years in Synanon –
they practiced mind control and got you hooked on screaming – oh yeah,
reality therapy where everybody gets in a room and plays rat pack as they
verbally cathart their guts out three times a week.

Dayflop, Phoenix Louse, all the way from catered meals at Betty Ford to
those eating donated garbage like hot dogs with purple coloring accidentally
added (that’s how we survived at Synanon) – they taught us how to go out and
procure goods from the community (beg).

And after two and a half years – I wasn’t cured but I was more articulate.
Then I took Ibogaine – which helped me to understand that I am indeed an
addict and always have been and might even stay one too.

I am definately impatient. I just came out of another relationship (gay) that went terribly south because of our use. I tend to like to fix things and though I realize this is a process I need to nurture I tend to want to push things along.

I’ve done alot around recovery in the past, have started and facilitied secular recovery groups for years but ended up feeling trapped in them. This time I’m trying to do things differently. I just got a new therapist. I read some of his books and really liked where he is coming from (Jungian/buddhist). He seems to be a combination of the archetypal and practical. I have lined up a friend to do body work with with me and am reaching out to non-using friends, all of whom are supportive.

Anticapitalists, Marijuana Advocates Real Estate Barons?

By COLIN MOYNIHAN

Published: August 30, 2004

ver the decades the Yippies have become infamous as a counterculture group
known for colorful pranks and criticizing capitalism. Recently, though, the
group entered the world of high-stakes Manhattan real estate, buying the East
Village building that has been its longtime headquarters for $1.2 million.
Advertisement

In 1973, a few members of the group – begun by Abbie Hoffman, known for
scattering dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and others
and officially called the Youth International Party – moved into the
three-story building at 9 Bleecker Street, near the Bowery. Over the years their monthly
rent rose to more than $8,000 from $675. In 2000 the building was sold, and
the Yippies faced eviction.
After months of negotiation, however, a deal was reached that will allow the
group, which first entered public consciousness during the Chicago Seven
political conspiracy trial following widespread disturbances during the 1968
Democratic convention, to hold onto its spiritual home.
A partnership formed with Yippie Holdings and an advocacy group called the
National AIDS Brigade paid the former owner, Harlan Berger, $100,000, said a
Yippie leader, Dana Beal, who has lived in the building since 1973. Mr. Berger
offered a loan in the form of a mortgage, Mr. Beal added, which the Yippies will
pay off at the rate of about $11,000 per month. The partnership will form a
nonprofit organization, Mr. Beal said, and turn the building into a Yippie
museum and an advocacy center to fight transmission of AIDS.
Mr. Beal said that since the Yippies co-own the building, he planned to use
the property as equity to quickly get loans to pay off the $1.1 million owed to
Mr. Berger. He said he also planned to use air rights to build an additional
story on the roof that could be sold or rented.
Mr. Berger did not return calls from this reporter, but a lawyer who
represented him in the transfer, Andrew Albstein, said the deed had been turned over
to the Yippies.
For the two dozen or so veteran Yippies who are still in New York, as well as
a handful of others scattered across the country, the building is far more
than a pile of bricks and mortar in a gentrifying district.
“Smoke-ins, rallies, protests,” Mr. Beal said, in a chair on the building’s
cluttered second floor. “This is where it all happened for us.”
Stacks of newspapers and books lined the loft-like room, including “My Life
in Garbology,” in which the Yippie A. J. Weberman described what he found while
rooting through the trash of such diverse figures as Bob Dylan and the former
F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover. Antiwar posters adorned the walls, and
several cats prowled the premises.
“This place is a temple of insurrection,” said Aron Kay, another longtime
Yippie.
There is plenty of history at No. 9, as the building is affectionately known
to visitors. It was there that newspapers like The Yipster Times, later called
Overthrow, was published.
Demonstrations during national political conventions were planned there, as
were annual pot parades calling for the legalization of marijuana. A scarred
wooden door in the basement is a reminder of the day in 1981 that someone set
off a bomb in front of the building.
Mr. Beal said he would also use the building as a base to advocate the
legalization of ibogaine, a derivative of an African shrub that he said has the
ability to interrupt addiction to dangerous substances, like heroin.
And, of course, the Yippies being Yippies, the building has been abuzz with
preparations for the Republican convention. In the past weeks, people have
gathered on the ground floor, where they painted signs to carry in protests during
the convention.
“Yippies haven’t missed a convention since 1964,” Mr. Beal said. “And this
one is only a few blocks away.”

Dear Jasen,

I’m very near the U.K if you think AUSTRALIAN , 20 minutes from Amsterdam airport, in the countryside’.
It is hard to give a straight answer. Only one person asked his methadone back because he was too afraid to quit.
The rest left the house clean. A treatment from a 100+ mg of methadone is two weeks.
in those two weeks a person gets as many booster doses,  ( dose a Iboga will give a person energy and take the pain away)
As needed, also magic mushroom which relaxed the muscles and help to restore sleep for some it gives new insight about their Iboga treatment, and Cannabis which is one of my sacrament and proven
To be of a great benefit to many people during their two weeks stay. Santa-Maria will potentate the Iboga which means that you don’t need to take high doses of Iboga.
I have done about 150 treatments, some repeated treatments of people who need more then one treatment.
The success of the treatment is a combination of things, What DH has suggested , a support system post –Ibo is one of them, or
If a person has a job, school, relationship or simply just new passion for life.

All the best,

Sara

Howard,

There is NO paper indicating that Methadone remains in the bone and bone
marrow , who is going to pay for such a paper? certainly not the one who
makes huge profit of Meth. Or the patients Organizations.
I observed patients who came here, most of them were on methadone
They All say it feels as the Meth. remains in the bone or even bone marrow,
nothing like a short working opiates. there is no mice/rat that took
methadone for 10 years or more.
The Dutch Drug authorities don’t care how much Meth. Or other drugs people
take as long as it’s being paid for and those who are sedated are not
causing any trouble on the streets. the authorities “think” that anyways
those kind of people like to be sedated.
I just heard on a TV program that 9 of the 10 decisions of authorities are
based on misinformation. a research that has been done in 20 different
countries.

It is under my impressions that the therapy house does not accept clients with serious psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia but we all know that most people who have been addicts have been depressed at some point, and most people show signs of depression when seeking treatment (obviously something is wrong if it’s(lifestyle/patterns) not working anymore, right?)

To Julie and Jason and Callie,

Jason gave some very good advice.  If I could give a suggestion, few doctors
will write a script for dilauded or methadone since both are schedule II and
you must be dying to get AND have a note from your parents.  Hey, a little
humor can sometimes help.  I can not possibly read all the mail on the
mindvox.  I mean like I got 127 just today.  However, if you have a vaild
reason to have something like Tylenol #4 or Lortab or perks, I  have found
it eaiser to detox from pills.  With dillies you are more likely to shoot
the drugs and they are very hard to get from the Doc and VERY expensive to
get off the street.  If your able to get a doctor to write for Lortab or
codeine I would say give that a try.  However, that is eaiser said than
done.  A word of caution, if you go to more than one doctor and get the same
narcotic drug the pharmacist may call the one or both of the doctors and
tell them that you going from doctor to d! octor looking for durgs.  In some
states like Florida it is against the law to do that.  It is called doctor
shopping.  Twice I had a pharmacist call the doctor and say I was doctor
shopping.  I even had a doctor call the other doctor.  Sometimes if you have
been in a car accident or have a reason for taking a large amount of pain
medication you may be better off trying a pain clinic.  However, some will
try their therapy rather than write for a large amount of narcotics.  Also,
you may want to check out subutex via Google.  You can get a list of doctors
that prescribe suboxone.  From what I hear it is eaiser than detoxing from
methadone.  There are not all that many options available.  Also, there is
such a thing as ultra rapid detox where they put you to sleep then inject
you with naltrexone.  I have heard good and bad about it.  Also, it is very
expensive, like a few grand  or more.  If you live in Cana! da where it is
legal you may ask on the forum who has it and how much.  I wish I could
recomend someone but I don’t know any sellers.  In the United States it is
illegal in any form.

Hope I helped somewhat, if you find a suplier who will ship to Canada please
let me know that way I may be of help to others as well as myself.  If you
do not, write me at jimhadey3 at yahoo.com.  I have heard of a person will
ship to a P.O. Box in Canada.  He works it by debiting your debit or charge
account in Eros.  I can not vouge for his honesty.  I therefore ask people
for feedback.  Also, it is a dangerous drug to take by yourself.  I am sure
you know that people can get sick and vomit and sometimes drowned in their
own vomit.  And I know several people who took it and did vomit.  I know how
hard it is to get off methadone.  Most everyone I know kicked methadone by
using H or some of the pills I mentioned earlier.

Best of luck to ya, I may have some more information later this week from a
person who went to a place called Eurthogardens (sp) or some place like
that.  The person said that they would get in touch with me and let me know
how things went.  However, not one person on this forum had a good thing to
say about Eurthogardens(sp), just a word to the wise.  It seems it is so
easy to get ripped off when dealing on the net.

Hope I helped, best of luck to ya,

the meth’would be out of my system,and then it would take only one week to
come off,rather than 6 weeks.
Believe me when I say I understand your logic,however, dear Julie,it doesn’t

morphine or dilauded for three months,
unfortunatley this is highly unlikley.Meth” gives us the opportunity to make
different friends that are conducive to
our recovery,get a jo! b and put things in place that will help us to stay
away from Heroin(I almost cringe when I write the whole word Heroin)
I think the “cringe”comes from the shame of knowing heroin.

Yes Julie,it is a very long and emotionaly painful journey reducing off the
Meth”. Untill you decide which way you will detox,I would stay on the done
and keep reducing very slowly. I know I know,it’s f….d,it’s so slow,and
the shame that goes with it is sometimes to much to bear,having to go and
pick up your dose,
the clinic and all the other negatives.Sometimes we feel so stuck that we
just cry and cry and cry.Tears flow down my face as I write “cry” I know
where your at.

Life is now,it’s happening right now,even while we are on this “medicine”We
have to stop thinking of what we are going to do when we get off the done,
when we get straight,and do them now,..right now. I know it is harder whilst
on the done, as the done gives us a false sense of security! and kills a lot
of our motivation,dampens our drive. As you know Julie,with each reduction
we get back a little more of ourselves,we look a little healthier,get a
little more motivated.
I have found that what you eat whilst reducing makes a massive
difference,yes “MASSIVE”,and drinking a lot of water.We have all heard this
before,
but you know what, it is so very powerfully true.

I suggest stay on the done for now,reduce very slowly, live life now and
start doing the things you dream of doing when you are off the done,and
then, when
you are ready, do the Ibogaine treatment.I have not done the treatment as
yet but plan to,I just don’t know where to go to do it,the Panamas sound
ideal
but the warranted expence puts it out of reach

I understand your frustration,your anguish and your sadness,you are not
alone there are many of us in the same boat,I myself sometimes find it
almost to much to bear and just feel like going hom! e to join my
mother,father and brother in heaven,I am sure the thought of going back home
has entered many of our minds.
We hang in there.Society cannot understand,which makes it harder,most
doctors don’t understand,it’s a sickness and because you are on the done,you
are getting better and you will be cured soon.Don’t be in a hurry,a mistake
I have made many times.If you come off done to quick it brings to much to
the surface to quickly.
Although at the time of being on a comfortable dose of done,the thought of
using and the scene almost disgusts us,and we think we know that there is no
way we will use again.If you come off to quick you have a very high risk of
using again.I would suggest 10% of your dose every three weeks,even this is
quick.

As you know when you have a reduction you normally feel it (a little)for
about 10 days,so to come down every two weeks IMO does not give your
emotions, mind and body enough of a rest between reductions.This is why I
say every three weeks,so you have a little rest in between.

May the angels of light guide you to freedom,health and all you choose
for you highest good.

Subject: Re: [ibogaine] Weening from methadone with H

Hi Callie,

I’m 26. I have used opiates for about four years, and
all kinds of drugs( mostly E, ac*d, GHB and grass) for
years before that. All I know, is that H was way
easier to kick than this sh*t. Sure, it was a bit
more painful, but so much shorter!

Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed? I don’t crave H
anymore; in fact, it kind of repulses me. But I’ve
heard that Ibo is way more effective for heroin
addiction than for methadone, as meth stays for SO
long in your body.

I know I might sound naive! , but I am desperate- I am

the side effects of opiate withdrawal while trying to
do paperwork or interpersonal stuff.

Howard,

Thanks for the reminder about being kind and loving to oneself.  Fear really
can be a killer, and I agree that it is a great driver of addiction.  One
thing I have allowed myself is the right to smoke weed if I like.  I used to
demand total abstinence of myself, then when I smoked a doob or had a drink,
I failed, and was now had license to hit the glass stem with a fury.

My goal is no crack. Period.  I don’t like heroin alone enough I decided
that it calls to me like the crack. I have become involved with NJ Indy
media, I marched today, may come back Thursday night for a rally.  I am
going to work every day.

Yes, thanks for the reminder!

Subject: Re: [ibogaine] Weening from methadone with H

ROFL;
Very reminiscent of when I kicked a 50-60 Perkoset habit, about 6 weeks
before I got out of college, and tried keeping myself feeling OK by
taking
about 10 Ultram a day.  All I did was drag it out from the week (apx) of
hell, had I just gone “cold turkey”, into a week of hell, followed by
4-5
more weeks of feeling almost as bad.   Ahhhhh …. If I’d only known
then,
what I know now ….. well, you all know the story.

Julie:  I had similar thoughts a few months ago, when I jumped off of an
8 –
12, 80mg Oxy a day habit.  I even had a pharmacist agree with me, but
was
not able to give me anything without a Dr.’s ok.  Although I was mainly
on
Oxycontin, I had been taking Methadone at night for a while, so I would
wake
up feeling a little less dead.

Anyway, the thought (of a few of us) was to give me some Oxycodone IR
(Instant Release), for a couple of weeks, so the Methadone would have a
little time to leave my body, before switching to Suboxone, which was a
very
rough transition for me, whether from my Dr. under RX’ing me for the
first
week, or actually from the Meth, I can’t be sure, but I suspect both
played
a part.  However, I did not have it as rough as those that jumped
straight
from a full dose of Methadone to Suboxone.

The switching drugs is a great idea in theory, but I just made the jump
from
Oxycontin to Suboxone, just about a week ago and had a couple extra
Oxy’s
and some of the Oxy IR, so I could go through an easier transition.
Guess
what?  I polished it all off, Sunday night, when I had planned on
tapering
until Tuesday (at least Monday).  I still think it’s a valid idea; just
not
one we tend to follow through with.  If you could handle some
Hydrocodone
or
Morphine, AND have someone who can dole them out to you, I think you’d
be
much better served.
My best wishes are with you,
Charlie

Julie asked >Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed?<

Yes, but I began using poppy tea just a week or so into the final
kicking
stage, when I finally stopped drinking my take-homes, then dilaudids a
few
months down the road, after the poppy tea stopped doing anything for
my
pain
whatsoever
But, while I was not exactly locked into bed for a month while
kicking
(though hell, it felt like at least a month that I was laid up and
useless
when kicking- but it wasn’t, it was more like 2 weeks- but keep in
mind
I
began taking other opiates fairly soon into the kicking, so I can’t
honestly
say I kicked completely at any point, though I do think I prolonged it
somewhat by substituting weak and pathetic poppy tea for methadone-
then
anyway.) I did take lots of baths and such, and smoked a lot of pot
while
kicking methadone. Kicking methadone even in the manner I did it in
2000
sucked big time.
And you are correct Julie in that kicking (kicking anything
really,
not
just methadone), and trying to actually do work and stuff is very
difficult-
I completely stopped writing for a month or so at that time, until I
had
enough strength to pick it up again.
Peace and love all,
Preston

If you are talking about substituting short acting opioids for methadone
prior to an ibogaine treatment, I think a week or two would at the most do for
most people.

I guess that could be an issue.<

I was also thinking about this tonight- Mark and all, please be careful of
the alcohol, which personally I feel will lead more to “relapse” than
anything else, certainly more readily than will pot.
My thoughts anyway.

I find the going getting harder as the days go by myself.  Helping others

I need to be on.

Anyway, did the big march in the city today.  Never could have done it if I
smoked crack the night before.  Retuning to my activism is really one of the
first gifts of having done ibo believe.  There is such a big world out there
beyond me.:)  When I was using crack it was only about me and the next
blast, and the dope to come down with.

prohibitionist have turned you into a criminal for using dope. It isn’t a
“real” crime- although some of the things I myself have done to get dope in

were not getting along for one reason or other and her having control over
my meds wasn’t really too cool- for either of us. She withholding them
because of PMS, or me just being a weenie and saying, “darn it girl I want
MORE.”
Anyway, it works for us- but I speak only for my own situation. As one
provider told me pre-ibo, I wasn’t allowed to keep any opiates in the house
during the session because even if I gave it to my lover to hold, she
wouldn’t be able to resist handing me what I wanted after enough stress and
fighting, so we avoided it by getting all opiates outta the apartment prior
to ibo-session number one. Session two I had both scripts in the house, but
was in a VERY different head space by then, so no risks there.

So, I don’t put him in that horrible position anymore!

ROFL;
Very reminiscent of when I kicked a 50-60 Perkoset habit, about 6 weeks
before I got out of college, and tried keeping myself feeling ! OK by taking
about 10 Ultram a day. All I did was drag it out from the week (apx) of
hell, had I just gone “cold turkey”, into a week of hell, followed by 4-5
more weeks of feeling almost as bad. Ahhhhh …. If I’d only known then,
what I know now ….. well, you all know the story.

Julie: I had similar thoughts a few months ago, when I jumped off of an 8 –
12, 80mg Oxy a day habit. I even had a pharmacist agree with me, but was
not able to give me anything without a Dr.’s ok. Although I was mainly on
Oxycontin, I had been taking Methadone at night for a while, so I would wake
up feeling a little less dead.

Anyway, the thought (of a few of us) was to give me some Oxycodone IR
(Instant Release), for a couple of weeks, so the Methadone would have a
little time to leave my body, before switching to Suboxone, which was a very
rough transition for me, whether from my Dr. under RX’ing me for the first
week, or actually from the Meth, I ! can’t be sure, but I suspect both
played
a part. However, I did not have it as rough as those that jumped straight
from a full dose of Methadone to Suboxone.

The switching drugs is a great idea in theory, but I just made the jump from
Oxycontin to Suboxone, just about a week ago and had a couple extra Oxy’s
and some of the Oxy IR, so I could go through an easier transition. Guess
what? I polished it all off, Sunday night, when I had planned on tapering
until Tuesday (at least Monday). I still think it’s a valid idea; just not
one we tend to follow through with. If you could handle some Hydrocodone or
Morphine, AND have someone who can dole them out to you, I think you’d be
much better served.
My best wishes are with you,

Yes, but I began using poppy tea just a week or so into the final kicking

months down the road, after the poppy tea stopped doing anything for my
pain
whatsoever
But, while I was not exactly locked into bed for a month while kicking

when kicking- but it wasn’t, it was more like 2 weeks- but keep in mind I
began taking other opiates fairly soon into the kicking, so I can’t
honestly
say I kicked completely at any point, though I do think I prolonged it
somewhat by substituting weak and p! athetic poppy tea for methadone- then
anyway.) I did take lots of baths and such, and smoked a lot of pot while
kicking methadone. Kicking methadone even in the manner I did it in 2000
sucked big time.
And you are correct Julie in that kicking (kicking anything really,
not
just methadone), and trying to actually do work and stuff is very
difficult-
I completely stopped writing for a month or so at that time, until I had

Hi Callie,

I’m 26. I have used opiates for about four years, and
all kinds of drugs( mostly E, ac*d, GHB and grass) for
years before that. All I know, is that H was way
easier to kick than this sh*t. Sure, it was a bit
more painful, but so much shorter!

Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed? I don’t crave H
anymore; in fact, it kind of repulses me. But I’ve
heard that Ibo is way more effective for heroin
addiction than for methadone, as meth stays for SO
long in your body.

I know I might sound naive, but I am desperate- I am
starting my own business this fall, and can’t take all
the side effects of opiate withdrawal while trying to
do paperwork or interpersonal stuff.

Julie

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

Hi all, this is really mainly for those on the ibogaine list, but due to
having lots of folk on the DrugWar list with knowlege and opinions, I feel I
should post this to both lists:
To begin this, I need to make a point-
I discussed my nervousness and trepidation about ibogaine and law
enforcement today over brunch with V. I am very nervous about steering
people to ibogaine treatments in the US. She is of the opinion that by doing
what I’m doing now, publicizing and discussing it personally and in print,
I’m already doing a lot towards getting ibogaine into the public
conciousness.
I do not want to get hit with steering charges. I Hate the idea. That
said, as someone, I think Mark, pointed out yesterday, it MIGHT be selfish
for me NOT to steer people towards those who are doing treatments, as others
already took a major risk in steering me to the providers (bless their
pointy heads too). In part, I agree- in another Large part I don’t,
precisely for the reasons stated above, in that I’m being and will continue
to be very open about my own using it to kick my pain killer habit and to
realign myself. I will continue to be open about what I do forever. But I
hesitate to steer people and enter into conspiracy- as the prohibitionist
maniacs will definitely look at it as me doing if they do decide to come
after those doing treatments, and I’ve directed some undercover narc to
those supplying it.
But all that said, I’m going to take a risk here, and let Charlie know
that while I don’t yet have any contact number, there is apparently someone
already doing treatments in the Portland, Oregon area, who will be there for
another week and after a short break will be back there very soonly.
So, if and when I hear more, I may very well have some number or other
that you can contact for more info. But I am very scared to do this, I don’t
mind admitting. If I don’t, who will though? So torn and confused and
nervous and scared and all that prohibition inspired crap is coursing
through me right now. I don’t want to go to jail, even for a few hours. But
I do want others to hear about treatments and to get all the info they can
about ibogaine.
Anyway, I’m kinda just sorting out my thoughts here, in public, (hi
feds), and forgot to post this hint of info earlier today when I shoulda
done so. I apologize for being a nervous Nelly, and for not having more info
for you Charlie right away- but when I do I suppose I will post it- once.
After that, I’ll have to take it on a case by case basis. I’d prefer to meet
people face to face before giving out any specific info on treatments
(especially since I don’t really have any specific info, but might down the
road), but that ain’t possible through email- anyone can come here and claim
to be a junkie/addict and elicit VERY illegal info from any of the rest of
us- which makes me very, very not happy or secure feeling.
I would very much appreciate feedback on this.
Peace and love to all, even the blue meanies,
Preston

To Julie and Jason and Callie,

Jason gave some very good advice.  If I could give a suggestion, few doctors will write a script for dilauded or methadone since both are schedule II and you must be dying to get AND have a note from your parents.  Hey, a little humor can sometimes help.  I can not possibly read all the mail on the mindvox.  I mean like I got 127 just today.  However, if you have a vaild reason to have something like Tylenol #4 or Lortab or perks, I  have found it eaiser to detox from pills.  With dillies you are more likely to shoot the drugs and they are very hard to get from the Doc and VERY expensive to get off the street.  If your able to get a doctor to write for Lortab or codeine I would say give that a try.  However, that is eaiser said than done.  A word of caution, if you go to more than one doctor and get the same narcotic drug the pharmacist may call the one or both of the doctors and tell them that you going from doctor to doctor looking for durgs.  In some states like Florida it is against the law to do that.  It is called doctor shopping.  Twice I had a pharmacist call the doctor and say I was doctor shopping.  I even had a doctor call the other doctor.  Sometimes if you have been in a car accident or have a reason for taking a large amount of pain medication you may be better off trying a pain clinic.  However, some will try their therapy rather than write for a large amount of narcotics.  Also, you may want to check out subutex via Google.  You can get a list of doctors that prescribe suboxone.  From what I hear it is eaiser than detoxing from methadone.  There are not all that many options available.  Also, there is such a thing as ultra rapid detox where they put you to sleep then inject you with naltrexone.  I have heard good and bad about it.  Also, it is very expensive, like a few grand  or more.  If you live in Canada where it is legal you may ask on the forum who has it and how much.  I wish I could recomend someone but I don’t know any sellers.  In the United States it is illegal in any form.

Hope I helped somewhat, if you find a suplier who will ship to Canada please let me know that way I may be of help to others as well as myself.  If you do not, write me at jimhadey3 at yahoo.com.  I have heard of a person will ship to a P.O. Box in Canada.  He works it by debiting your debit or charge account in Eros.  I can not vouge for his honesty.  I therefore ask people for feedback.  Also, it is a dangerous drug to take by yourself.  I am sure you know that people can get sick and vomit and sometimes drowned in their own vomit.  And I know several people who took it and did vomit.  I know how hard it is to get off methadone.  Most everyone I know kicked methadone by using H or some of the pills I mentioned earlier.

Best of luck to ya, I may have some more information later this week from a person who went to a place called Eurthogardens (sp) or some place like that.  The person said that they would get in touch with me and let me know how things went.  However, not one person on this forum had a good thing to say about Eurthogardens(sp), just a word to the wise.  It seems it is so easy to get ripped off when dealing on the net.

Hope I helped, best of luck to ya,

– JIM

Dear Julie,
I know exactly where you are comming from.
Yes methadone is a lot harder to come off,HOWEVER,the good thing about
methadone
is that it gives you the opportunity to get back to living a relativley
normal life,it keeps you away from the scene
and all it’s ugliness.I have considered what you are considering,..use for
say…three months and then by that time
the meth’would be out of my system,and then it would take only one week to
come off,rather than 6 weeks.
Believe me when I say I understand your logic,however, dear Julie,it doesn’t
work.The only way it might work
is….if you found a docter that was prepared to supply you(Orally)with say
morphine or dilauded for three months,
unfortunatley this is highly unlikley.Meth” gives us the opportunity to make
different friends that are conducive to
our recovery,get a job and put things in place that will help us to stay
away from Heroin(I almost cringe when I write the whole word Heroin)
I think the “cringe”comes from the shame of knowing heroin.

Yes Julie,it is a very long and emotionaly painful journey reducing off the
Meth”. Untill you decide which way you will detox,I would stay on the done
and keep reducing very slowly. I know I know,it’s f….d,it’s so slow,and
the shame that goes with it is sometimes to much to bear,having to go and
pick up your dose,
the clinic and all the other negatives.Sometimes we feel so stuck that we
just cry and cry and cry.Tears flow down my face as I write “cry” I know
where your at.

Life is now,it’s happening right now,even while we are on this “medicine”We
have to stop thinking of what we are going to do when we get off the done,
when we get straight,and do them now,..right now. I know it is harder whilst
on the done, as the done gives us a false sense of security and kills a lot
of our motivation,dampens our drive. As you know Julie,with each reduction
we get back a little more of ourselves,we look a little healthier,get a
little more motivated.
I have found that what you eat whilst reducing makes a massive
difference,yes “MASSIVE”,and drinking a lot of water.We have all heard this
before,
but you know what, it is so very powerfully true.

I suggest stay on the done for now,reduce very slowly, live life now and
start doing the things you dream of doing when you are off the done,and
then, when
you are ready, do the Ibogaine treatment.I have not done the treatment as
yet but plan to,I just don’t know where to go to do it,the Panamas sound
ideal
but the warranted expence puts it out of reach

I understand your frustration,your anguish and your sadness,you are not
alone there are many of us in the same boat,I myself sometimes find it
almost to much to bear and just feel like going home to join my
mother,father and brother in heaven,I am sure the thought of going back home
has entered many of our minds.
We hang in there.Society cannot understand,which makes it harder,most
doctors don’t understand,it’s a sickness and because you are on the done,you
are getting better and you will be cured soon.Don’t be in a hurry,a mistake
I have made many times.If you come off done to quick it brings to much to
the surface to quickly.
Although at the time of being on a comfortable dose of done,the thought of
using and the scene almost disgusts us,and we think we know that there is no
way we will use again.If you come off to quick you have a very high risk of
using again.I would suggest 10% of your dose every three weeks,even this is
quick.

As you know when you have a reduction you normally feel it (a little)for
about 10 days,so to come down every two weeks IMO does not give your
emotions, mind and body enough of a rest between reductions.This is why I
say every three weeks,so you have a little rest in between.

May the angels of light guide you to freedom,health and all you choose
for you highest good.
With understanding and smiles Jasen (Aus) 🙂

Howard,

Thanks for the reminder about being kind and loving to oneself.  Fear really can be a killer, and I agree that it is a great driver of addiction.  One thing I have allowed myself is the right to smoke weed if I like.  I used to demand total abstinence of myself, then when I smoked a doob or had a drink, I failed, and was now had license to hit the glass stem with a fury.

My goal is no crack. Period.  I don’t like heroin alone enough I decided that it calls to me like the crack. I have become involved with NJ Indy media, I marched today, may come back Thursday night for a rally.  I am going to work every day.

Yes, thanks for the reminder!

Hi Preston,

I hope you didn’t think that paragraph was meant for you; I was giving Julie
some input on her dilemma. I can tell you’re in a pretty squared away
situation …… if you try to mess up, you’ve got V there to kick the
wholly living shit out of you ; =  )
This is for you though: You sound like you have a great life, that’s just

more painful, but so much shorter!

Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone

do paperwork or interpersonal stuff.

Hi Marc,

To be really honest I have had crack thoughts since one week after treatment.  The amazing difference is I don’t act on them.  I can think them through.  First time in twenty years that crack seems really unappealing to me.

So I agree that last night was a great turning point for you.  You thought about it, even had a plan, but you stopped yourself.  That is a great blessing isn’t it.  Not to be robotically controlled by the drug.

Hi Marc,

Really glad you didn’t pick up.  And as for the pot, I come form the harm reduction approach.  It sure is better than if you had done H.  If it makes you wanna get dope more though, I guess that could be an issue.  But the weed in of itself is not a slip in my book.

I find the going getting harder as the days go by myself.  Helping others like you are is a proven way to stay clean.  I really think that is the path I need to be on.

Anyway, did the big march in the city today.  Never could have done it if I smoked crack the night before.  Retuning to my activism is really one of the first gifts of having done ibo believe.  There is such a big world out there beyond me.:)  When I was using crack it was only about me and the next blast, and the dope to come down with.

Thanks,
Sean

Dear Julie,
I also ran an importing business whilst on the done. I was importing products from Indonesia and into Australia.
At the time I was reducing very slowly and all was fine.I found when I ate well and drank a lot of water and excersised(walking) I was fine.
When I ate crap and didn’t excersise my mind was all blocked up and I couldn;t think straight.

Go for it girl.                                   Smiles Jasen (AUS)

Oxy’s contain oxycodone – which is a synthetic… not codeine.
oxycodone is what is in percodan.

there are quick release oxycodone tablets and there are time release
oxycontin tablets.

You are absolutely correct Dave!
You have to watch these online pharmacies also. They will sell what they call hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin) or oxycodone (Percocet, Oxycontin) and when you get it you realize it is Codeine, which you can buy otc now in cough syrup. It is nasty tasting cough syrup too!
In the 80’s when I would be totally out of dope and could feel those withdrawal pains on my heels, I would by Terpin Hydrate with codeine at neighborhood pharmacy. The thought of it now gives me the heebie, jeebies! UUUUGGGGHHHH!!

Dear Julie,
I know exactly where you are comming from.
Yes methadone is a lot harder to come off,HOWEVER,the good thing about
methadone
is that it gives you the opportunity to get back to living a relativley
normal life,it keeps you away from the scene
and all it’s ugliness.I have considered what you are considering,..use for
say…three months and then by that time
the meth’would be out of my system,and then it would take only one week to
come off,rather than 6 weeks.
Believe me when I say I understand your logic,however, dear Julie,it doesn’t
work.The only way it might work
is….if you found a docter that was prepared to supply you(Orally)with say
morphine or dilauded for three months,
unfortunatley this is highly unlikley.Meth” gives us the opportunity to make
different friends that are conducive to
our recovery,get a job and put things in place that will help us to stay
away from Heroin(I almost cringe when I write the whole word Heroin)
I think the “cringe”comes from the shame of knowing heroin.

Yes Julie,it is a very long and emotionaly painful journey reducing off the
Meth”. Untill you decide which way you will detox,I would stay on the done
and keep reducing very slowly. I know I know,it’s f….d,it’s so slow,and
the shame that goes with it is sometimes to much to bear,having to go and
pick up your dose,
the clinic and all the other negatives.Sometimes we feel so stuck that we
just cry and cry and cry.Tears flow down my face as I write “cry” I know
where your at.

Life is now,it’s happening right now,even while we are on this “medicine”We
have to stop thinking of what we are going to do when we get off the done,
when we get straight,and do them now,..right now. I know it is harder whilst
on the done, as the done gives us a false sense of security and kills a lot
of our motivation,dampens our drive. As you know Julie,with each reduction
we get back a little more of ourselves,we look a little healthier,get a
little more motivated.
I have found that what you eat whilst reducing makes a massive
difference,yes “MASSIVE”,and drinking a lot of water.We have all heard this
before,
but you know what, it is so very powerfully true.

I suggest stay on the done for now,reduce very slowly, live life now and
start doing the things you dream of doing when you are off the done,and
then, when
you are ready, do the Ibogaine treatment.I have not done the treatment as
yet but plan to,I just don’t know where to go to do it,the Panamas sound
ideal
but the warranted expence puts it out of reach

I understand your frustration,your anguish and your sadness,you are not
alone there are many of us in the same boat,I myself sometimes find it
almost to much to bear and just feel like going home to join my
mother,father and brother in heaven,I am sure the thought of going back home
has entered many of our minds.
We hang in there.Society cannot understand,which makes it harder,most
doctors don’t understand,it’s a sickness and because you are on the done,you
are getting better and you will be cured soon.Don’t be in a hurry,a mistake
I have made many times.If you come off done to quick it brings to much to
the surface to quickly.
Although at the time of being on a comfortable dose of done,the thought of
using and the scene almost disgusts us,and we think we know that there is no
way we will use again.If you come off to quick you have a very high risk of
using again.I would suggest 10% of your dose every three weeks,even this is
quick.

As you know when you have a reduction you normally feel it (a little)for
about 10 days,so to come down every two weeks IMO does not give your
emotions, mind and body enough of a rest between reductions.This is why I
say every three weeks,so you have a little rest in between.

May the angels of light guide you to freedom,health and all you choose
for you highest good.
With understanding and smiles Jasen (Aus) 🙂

ROFL;
Very reminiscent of when I kicked a 50-60 Perkoset habit, about 6 weeks
before I got out of college, and tried keeping myself feeling OK by taking
about 10 Ultram a day. All I did was drag it out from the week (apx) of
hell, had I just gone “cold turkey”, into a week of hell, followed by 4-5
more weeks of feeling almost as bad. Ahhhhh …. If I’d only known then,
what I know now ….. well, you all know the story.

Julie: I had similar thoughts a few months ago, when I jumped off of an 8 –
12, 80mg Oxy a day habit. I even had a pharmacist agree with me, but was
not able to give me anything without a Dr.’s ok. Although I was mainly on
Oxycontin, I had been taking Methadone at night for a while, so I would wake
up feeling a little less dead.

Anyway, the thought (of a few of us) was to give me some Oxycodone IR
(Instant Release), for a couple of weeks, so the Methadone would have a
little time to leave my body, before switching to Suboxone, which was a very
rough transition for me, whether from my Dr. under RX’ing me for the first
week, or actually from the Meth, I can’t be sure, but I suspect both played
a part. However, I did not have it as rough as those that jumped straight
from a full dose of Methadone to Suboxone.

The switching drugs is a great idea in theory, but I just made the jump from
Oxycontin to Suboxone, just about a week ago and had a couple extra Oxy’s
and some of the Oxy IR, so I could go through an easier transition. Guess
what? I polished it all off, Sunday night, when I had planned on tapering
until Tuesday (at least Monday). I still think it’s a valid idea; just not
one we tend to follow through with. If you could handle some Hydrocodone or
Morphine, AND have someone who can dole them out to you, I think you’d be
much better served.
My best wishes are with you,
Charlie

Charlie,

I think what you have given is very good advice.  I
know the temptation to use even a little extra of the
H would probably be very strong.  And in reality,
maybe I might just be making excuses subconsciously to
get my hands on a little of the sweet stuff- you know,
the final hurrah before the kick.

I was thinking of maybe doing the Thomas recipe, with
a 10 or 20mg morphine pill at night to get some sleep.
After about 2 weeks, I would do another Ibo detox,
and hopefully be able to successfully jump off.  My
boyfriend would be holding my meds, so no f*ck ups.

Thanks Charlie, for the great advice!  I love this
list…

Julie

ROFL;
Very reminiscent of when I kicked a 50-60 Perkoset habit, about 6 weeks
before I got out of college, and tried keeping myself feeling OK by taking
about 10 Ultram a day.  All I did was drag it out from the week (apx) of
hell, had I just gone “cold turkey”, into a week of hell, followed by 4-5
more weeks of feeling almost as bad.   Ahhhhh …. If I’d only known then,
what I know now ….. well, you all know the story.

Julie:  I had similar thoughts a few months ago, when I jumped off of an 8 –
12, 80mg Oxy a day habit.  I even had a pharmacist agree with me, but was
not able to give me anything without a Dr.’s ok.  Although I was mainly on
Oxycontin, I had been taking Methadone at night for a while, so I would wake
up feeling a little less dead.

Anyway, the thought (of a few of us) was to give me some Oxycodone IR
(Instant Release), for a couple of weeks, so the Methadone would have a
little time to leave my body, before switching to Suboxone, which was a very
rough transition for me, whether from my Dr. under RX’ing me for the first
week, or actually from the Meth, I can’t be sure, but I suspect both played
a part.  However, I did not have it as rough as those that jumped straight
from a full dose of Methadone to Suboxone.

The switching drugs is a great idea in theory, but I just made the jump from
Oxycontin to Suboxone, just about a week ago and had a couple extra Oxy’s
and some of the Oxy IR, so I could go through an easier transition.  Guess
what?  I polished it all off, Sunday night, when I had planned on tapering
until Tuesday (at least Monday).  I still think it’s a valid idea; just not
one we tend to follow through with.  If you could handle some Hydrocodone or
Morphine, AND have someone who can dole them out to you, I think you’d be
much better served.
My best wishes are with you,
Charlie

Julie asked >Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone

Yes, but I began using poppy tea just a week or so into the final kicking
stage, when I finally stopped drinking my take-homes, then dilaudids a few
months down the road, after the poppy tea stopped doing anything for my
pain
whatsoever
But, while I was not exactly locked into bed for a month while kicking
(though hell, it felt like at least a month that I was laid up and useless
when kicking- but it wasn’t, it was more like 2 weeks- but keep in mind I
began taking other opiates fairly soon into the kicking, so I can’t
honestly
say I kicked completely at any point, though I do think I prolonged it
somewhat by substituting weak and pathetic poppy tea for methadone- then
anyway.) I did take lots of baths and such, and smoked a lot of pot while
kicking methadone. Kicking methadone even in the manner I did it in 2000
sucked big time.
And you are correct Julie in that kicking (kicking anything really,
not
just methadone), and trying to actually do work and stuff is very
difficult-
I completely stopped writing for a month or so at that time, until I had
enough strength to pick it up again.
Peace and love all,
Preston

Hi Callie,

I’m 26.  I have used opiates for about four years, and
all kinds of drugs( mostly E, ac*d, GHB and grass) for
years before that.  All I know, is that H was way
easier to kick than this sh*t.  Sure, it was a bit
more painful, but so much shorter!

Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed?  I don’t crave H
anymore; in fact, it kind of repulses me.  But I’ve
heard that Ibo is way more effective for heroin
addiction than for methadone, as meth stays for SO
long in your body.

I know I might sound naive, but I am desperate- I am
starting my own business this fall, and can’t take all
the side effects of opiate withdrawal while trying to
do paperwork or interpersonal stuff.

Julie

Sorry, but that statement strikes me as a lot of male dominance directed
crap.  Women being more sensitive to ibogaine by exhibiting higher plasma

if that is the case, does not ibogaine gender infuse.  That being said, I
would
not at all mind discussion in dispute of my position.<

Not being either a woman nor a provider, I can’t answer your question, such
as it is Howard. I myself didn’t feel any such masculine “energetic” from
ibogaine, but then, it was an interview and that’s the answer I got. I’d be
happy to discuss it further here, only I don’t really have an answer nor a
view on this topic really.

PS:  Although Suboxone works well for some, there is still a problem with the half-life, or how long it stays in your system.  I only mention this in case you’re thinking of giving it a try.  However, I believe you can take Ibogaine, five days after stopping the Sub, but please verify those facts, I am not a practitioner.  I still think having MS Contin (Morphine) portioned out to you may be a reasonable alternative.  The more you can taper on the Meth, the better (but you know that already).
Hang in there,

As for med school, I think I might have mentioned my dad was a doctor and I
watched medicine dishearten, depress, and eventually to some degree, kill my
dad. My experience has been that MOST doctors who go into medicine with the
intention of helping people and not make themselves and drug companies rich
very often become casualties to that kind of thing. My dad said on his death
bed that if he had it to do all over again he would have loved to have done
something like teach English Lit and would have never gone near medicine.
So who knows maybe in some cases the second generation does get it right but
to answer your question. I am too into helping people these days to ever
consider being a doctor. ;o)

They are now estimating that upwards of 500,000 people took to the street today in NYC to protest the bush administration and hopefully take there country back. Its a good day to be a New Yorker and an even better day to be an American and its been a long time since I’ve been able to say either of those things. The march ended in Union Sq. but everyone took to Central Park and they are all still arriving now.  I just overheard the police talking and they said that they were going to wait for the softball games to end because they have permits and then they are going to go in. Then a captain said no one moves until someone crosses the line but the first time they do “pounce”. Our tax dollars at work. But every media conglomerate from all over the world is there so I doubt they’ll be any pouncing going on with the rest of the world watching but it is the NYPD. It would be very worthwhile for any Manhattanite to head to the Great Lawn… really uplifting in a time in America when I wasn’t even sure if that kind of feeling was possible.
Preston and Dana you really should head up here.

Ah to be young again! Well, on the other hand I am uncertain how good an

Dave and Howard and anyone else out there with significant clean
time…..how did you not use when all that old stuff showed back  up? >>

Fear of using and something to do.  A purpose to have.  A quest to follow.
Something to do and more something to do that gives a sense of accomplishment
and pleasure.

yes, activities to keep you focused, and a support network, someone who’s been there/done that and ain’t doin it no-more to confide in is a big plus.

I don’t like to say “I’m afraid of using”, fear sucks and I have found it a poor basis for inspiration.

finding a real feeling of love for life works better, in my opinion.

hobbies are great.

for me, post ibo i had to rely on NA meetings after “slipping” (—well, there wasn’t a banana peel, i planned it), but truth be told, in retrospect what really helped me was riding a bike. I would squirrely and jump on my bike and ride till the feeling passed (which was generally after about 30 minutes of pedaling when the endorphins were really flowing)… thus:: _.excercise and where I lived, wide open spaces of ~nature~.

counseling helped too, if you can find a cool/affordable counselor. Meetings are free, and well, if nothing else they bring about a network of people not using. The steps are pretty cool guidelines, I guess my “NA” view bolied the steps down to 2 basic things: Don’t be an asshole and do things differently… which is actualy just: “do things differently” because I had been such an asshole and everything I knew about dealing with life ended up as dope in my bloodstream… I had to become highly open to new ideas and ways of coping. After about 4-5 years I burned out on meetings and haven’t been in a long time. My path & the NA path stopped resonating so I moved on to ‘other stuff’ which works for me.

crap.  Women being more sensitive to ibogaine by exhibiting higher plasma levels
if that is the case, does not ibogaine gender infuse.  That being said, I would
not at all mind discussion in dispute of my position.

you know what. as much as I LOVE the idea of 150,000 people going somewhere
the city said they can’t go, I do not need to add my spirit there. I don’t
want that energy right now- it’s just a little too much for me at this time.
Plus, that’s a lot of people and this is an island- I wouldn’t want to
be the one to put the balance off kilter and tip Manhattan over by being
that “one too many” person. V and I will stay here in LES to help maintain
Manhattan’s balance.

I don’t think buprenorphine is legal in Canada, but

Howard,

Yes, after feeling pretty weak and sh*tty for a couple
of weeks, I think my body is starting to readjust.  I
finally purged my body of the constant nagging
constipation that we opiate users know too well.

I am pretty happy about being able to reduce my meth
dosage too(35ml to 20ml); I just wanted to be free of
it completely.  I would definitely do Ibogaine again,
but this time in a proper therapeutic setting.

Hannah: I don’t think Buprenorphine is legal here in
Canada, but I will look into it.  Thanks for the tip!

Ibogaine has been shown in scientific papers to act as an antibacterial.

Just reread my post and it comes across as smart ass and I do not want you to think I am being a smart ass.
I just really think you are messing up if you go back to heroin.
I have been an addict for 25 plus years, a full blown junkie addict for at least 25 of those years. It is experience talking. I really can’t see any reason for anyone to use heroin, especially if they have Methadone. You will be much better off slowly detoxing from Methadone. If you don’t  have time or money for slow detox you should probably try to be admitted to hospital or treatment for detox.
Heroin is bad news. Methadone was invented to get folks off heroin not the other way around.
There have been several posts discussing this the past few days. Go back and reread them if you can. If you have deleted them I will be happy to resend them to you.
I really hope you will change your mind and consider other options,

On the contrary, I think what you did was very noble

Look how positively you effected his life in a manner

Not Oxy’s Mark, which I think (could be mistaken) are codeine based- whereas
I was shooting about 400 dilaudids every 3 weeks and eating about 45
MS-Contins (morphine based- and at 60 milligrams not the 30 I’ve been
quoting I realized yesterday reading my bottle-silly me) during the same
time frame.
So in one regard you’re correct that it seems a pretty big huge

Thats a tremendous opportunity. An approch that can’t be minimized or

comes back in to the pain management clinic a week later and needs a 1/4 or
even less of what he was taking before. How can that be anything but a huge
medical breakthrough? Why is the medical field so uninformed when it comes

Yeah, I agree, being a pain patient and all.
I can’t wait to hand my doc that cool book about ibogaine- both he and the
assistant doc were blown away, very obviously, that I was not only asking
for but basically demanding that my dose be lowered- and they were more than
happy to do so for me. They were very weirded out too I could tell, in that
I was admiting to having taken a very illegal drug they’d never heard of,
one that obviously works, at least for me anyway.
So it’s going to be a real treat to hand them that book about ibogaine.

Ever been through the system straight? I’m not sayin that it would be a fun

would have been. I say bring it on. let them arrest someone for responsibly
treating someone in NY or anywhere else. I’m hitting all of my old clinics
on a daily basis recruiting and each and everyone of those docs and
administrators not only know who I am but have my address and probably a lot
more. Shit I have an ID number that I keep forever and you punch that in and
I would think all my info comes up.
As long as you keep it as safe as possible and your not getting ridiculous
with the dosage that might be exactly what we need to bring this all to

There are folk trying to make this a reality Charlie, but I’ve been a little
worried these past couple of day about it, due to my own personal fears of
prohibitionist maniacs. I have a real, hell, a Very Real Fear of going
through the Tombs (central cooking basically, only central booking has been
done away with here, so it’s now just the precinct house then the Tombs) and
on to Rikers Island wearing my typical choice in clothing, facing serious
drug charges- so I am slightly hesitant now to steer anyone towards those
doing treatments. At the same time, this is such an important issue, and
such an important possibility, that I’m almost of the attitude…almost?
That’s not quite ! right- I’m very much of the attitude that SOMEONE has to
do
it, and there aren’t a lot of others out there doing so now, so every voice
helps- so heck, I feel very torn and more than a bit nervous about what the
jackbooted thugs are thinking (and possibly doing) about the underground
Ibogaine treatments.
I hope this doesn’t come across as too negative, as I don’t mean it to-
I’m really simply voicing my fear here and sounding things out- feedback
always helps me think I find, and it helps me sort things out, make
decisions about my own thinking.

I just wrote a long response but my computer froze. Anyway yeah, we had a good talk and I obviously could tell 15 minutes into the convo that it was a little more than an Ibogaine lesson but at about 4:30 I went outside I think to wait for her and her friend BUT as usual these days, I went outside and looked up and the moon and became fascinated with the streetlights and the people and NY and I my legs just took me on my way. I gave her my number and email so I’m sure we’ll speak soon.
Remember we were talking about the whole, “My physical and mental well being coming first kind of a thing” well sometimes it happens without me even knowing it. I think subconsciously I needed to be alone and think about everything that led up to last night. All of yesterday. Anyway so as I walked something told me to take a cab but for obvious reasons I decided the train, however unbearable those freakin lights can be, was the smarter alternative. So I get on the 6 which pulled in like clockwork and I close my eyes next thing I know its 5:40 and I’m in scenic Hunts Point Bx. Got off at Longwood Ave pissed off and tired and had to switch back to Manhattan Bound and whaddda ya know as soon as I walk up the stairs its like the last open air dope spot open at 5:30 in the morning left in NY right off the corner. So I had a cigarette and watched the hand to hands for a while (can’t help that) and loved that the craving if you want to call it that just hours earlier was gone.  Then got back on the train and made it home at about 6:15.
Good times. Maybe I should have gone home with them after all.

Of course I think 5mg/kg is appropriate in the appropriate circumstances. If
you are more fearful of addicition than you are fearful of life than that is
very good. On the fear in gen! eral issue, just remember you don’t have to
be
frightened. Part of overcoming fear is knowing what you are frightened of.
Screaming is OK. Crying is OK. Doing good works is OK.

Hi Sandy,

I totally agree with you- after using Ibogaine about
2.5 weeks ago, I have not been able to eat ANY meat at
all.  Maybe the digestive enzymes aren’t being
produced, due to the Iboga.

I’m not complaining, though…I feel much lighter, and
my system really flushed itself out.  My skin also
looks better.

Weird, huh?

Hey Preston,  I forgot to ask you if you were going to haed over to the

whether they like it or not. Should be fun but don’t forget your gas mask.
Seriously, if you feel like meeting over there let me know. As of now, I
think it’ll just be me and my sister, but that could change. Also I think
our friend from Bleecker St will be there. I’m home now so if you want we
can smoke at my house before.
I’m thinking I’ll head over around 3:00. Let me know. -M.

Shelly, as I was saying just last night to Mark,
By “slipping” you have NOT “thrown it all out” darn it. You have merely
“slipped,” you are not a loser, nor a bad person for having done so. We are
all addicts and drug abusers here (or so I think) or we used to be and still
could be at the drop of a hat. But one slip doesn’t make a “thrown away” nor
should you dwell on the guilt and shame. Bad Shelly, Bad!
Seriously, it’s ok to slip sometimes. Maybe you needed a reminder of why
you want to not be using. Perhaps you simply needed to have a night of
opiates, and your body took over to insure that. I do not know the reasons
why you really “slipped” but you’ve most certainly NOT thrown it all out.
That’s straight outta ! NA/AA, the idea that by making one mistake you are
no
longer “sober” that you’ve wasted all that clean time for nothing. Because
hell you still have how many months, 3 I think, clean? That’s amazing and
brilliant and not for nothing darn it!
You keep your chin up and PLEASE do not slip into the attitude of “oh
well, I fucked up, guess it’s for naught and I shouldn’t even continue to
try now” because it doesn’t have to be that way- you can realize that one
slip does not a bad person make, that you still have the choice of whether
you are going to do it again or not. It is YOUR choice.
Peace and love and best wishes for you,
Preston

Thanks, that makes me feel really good that you would say that, but I do not know nearly as much as you do when it comes this. I do however have as pretty good sense when it comes to ibogaine and my body now but I’m still very confused sometimes when it comes to side affects of Ibogaine vs. residual withdrawal… and weighing the positives and negatives… I still feel like everything is an experiment.
Its strange, I feel like I have a much better sense of this kinda thing when it comes to others than I do myself. Who knows. Maybe its better to keep it as simple as possible. If we are fortunate enough to have a booster then bite the bullet and take the booster.
Okay then. -M.

A pain patient that was taking 500 60 mil Oxys every two weeks comes back
in to the pain management clinic a week later and needs a 1/4 or even less
of what he was taking before.<

Not Oxy’s Mark, which I think (could be mistaken) are codeine based- whereas
I was shooting about 400 dilaudids every 3 weeks and eating about 45
MS-Contins (morphine based- and at 60 milligrams not the 30 I’ve been
quoting I realized yesterday reading my bottle-silly me) during the same
time frame.
So in one regard you’re correct that it seems a pretty big huge
breakthrough to have so drastically reduced my intake.

comes back in to the pain management clinic a week later and needs a 1/4 or
even less of what he was taking before. How can that be anything but a huge
medical breakthrough? Why is the medical field so uninformed when it comes

Yeah, I agree, being a pain patient and all.
I can’t wait to hand my doc that cool book about ibogaine- both he and the
assistant doc were blown away, very obviously, that I was not only asking
for but basically demanding that my dose be lowered- and they were more than
happy to do so for me. They were very weirded out too I could tell, in that
I was admiting to having taken a very illegal drug they’d never heard of,
one that obviously works, at least for me anyway.
So it’s going to be a real treat to hand them that book about ibogaine.

P.S. Howard, I have a question. I am sure you have thought about this
approach but the lack of incentive due to small profits from Ibogaine use
could be offset by it’s use with opiates in chronic pain management
cases.
Of course
I am referring to pretty small amounts but if IBO undoes ‘addiction’ and
also
lowers one’s tolerance to opiates, couldn’t it be touted as a useful
supplement
when administered with opiate medication? It would keep the patient’s
need
for increasing dosages to a minimum and would (could?)prevent addiction!
What
do you think?

Julian,

Ibogaine ability to potentiate opiate analgesia was one of the earliest
discoveries in the modern ibogaine period. jurg Schneider, a Ciba
pharmacologist
who went on to become the President of Dupont’s biochemicals division
made the
discovery in the 1950s.

Pharmaceutical companies do not want to develop molecules found in nature
and
for whatever reason, they apparently don’t want to develop any of the
iboga
alkaloids that may have a potential to effect drug dependence. If iboga
alkaloids were out there to be used as an adjunct to pain management you
can bet
your bottom dollar there would be off label uses galore. I think that one
of the
area the folks who are setting up the underground railroad for ibogaine
treatments have to consider is forming alliances with the pain patient
rights
groups. And that has to be don! e be getting ibogaine to pain management
patients.
On my part I will initiate contact with pain management organizations for
political actions issues but, I’m simply not going to be among the front
line
troops dosing patients: Been there, done that.

For those of you who cannot get to the Harm Reduction Conference in New
Orleans in November, I will have my presentation up on the Ibogaine
Dossier and I
think that will give you some understanding of the historical precedents
that
have already been established for movements of this kind: Those offering
freedom rather than slavery and self determination rather than blind
obedience. You
are so right Julian. The questions is how do we make it so.

If you live in a constant state of fear of what will happen when the
ibogaine
wears off or if there is not another dose of ibogaine you are setting
yourself up to be frightened and fear drives addiction.  I am not saying
these are
not realities but, try to give yourselves a break. Don’t be so hard on your

booster dose of ibogaine…fine but, if not…fine too.  I don’t mean to
be
harsh.  I just want you all to be a comfortable as possible.  Be good to
yourselves.  Be kind to yourselves.  It is OK to love yourselves.

If you live in a constant state of fear of what will happen when the
ibogaine
wears off or if there is not another dose of ibogaine you are setting
yourself up to be frightened and fear drives addiction.  I am not saying
these are
not realities but, try to give yourselves a break. Don’t be so hard on
your
selves.  Yea, yea I know it these are just words but, in the beginning
there was
the word.

The whole noribogaine patch and 18-mc development programs are very
discouraging.  It seems doctors with universities behind them can’t get a
drug
development program off the ground when a few uncredentialed iboganauts
could.  What
is the world coming to? What incompetence!

Fully agreed.
But I still hate prison/jail settings. Even straight I hate it. I’ve been
seriously assaulted in jail, (it wasn’t even prison, it was simply county
jail in Florida) so prison REALLY worries me.
Call whenever. We’re going out to breakfast soon, so….

Ever been through the system straight? I’m not sayin that it would be a  fun
thing to do for three days but its gotta be a hell of a lot better than it
would have been.  I say bring it on. let them arrest someone for responsibly
treating someone in NY or anywhere else. I’m hitting all of my old clinics
on a daily basis recruiting and each and everyone of those docs and
administrators not only know who I am but have my address and probably a lot
more. Shit I have an ID number that I keep forever and you punch that in and
I would think all my info comes up.
As long as you keep it as safe as possible and your not getting ridiculous
with the dosage that might be exactly what we need to bring this all to
light. I’m not volunteering or anything. But who knows maybe I’m totally
wrong and irresponsible but one thing is for sure if someone didn’t take

There are folk trying to make this a reality Charlie, but I’ve been a little
worried these past couple of day about it, due to my own personal fears of
prohibitionist maniacs. I have a real, hell, a Very Real Fear of going
through the Tombs (central cooking basically, only central booking has been
done away with here, so it’s now just the precinct house then the Tombs) and
on to Rikers Island wearing my typical choice in clothing, facing serious
drug charges- so I am slightly hesitant now to steer anyone towards those
doing treatments. At the same time, this is such an important issue, and
such an important possibility, that I’m almost of the attitude…almost?
That’s not quite ! right- I’m very much of the attitude that SOMEONE has to
do
it, and there aren’t a lot of others out there doing so now, so every voice
helps- so heck, I feel very torn and more than a bit nervous about what the
jackbooted thugs are thinking (and possibly doing) about the underground
Ibogaine treatments.
I hope this doesn’t come across as too negative, as I don’t mean it to-
I’m really simply voicing my fear here and sounding things out- feedback
always helps me think I find, and it helps me sort things out, make
decisions about my own thinking.
Peace and love all,
Preston

I sure hope I end up at a clinic (or similar), to find out if I would take
the booster, as necessary.
I went back on Suboxone this past Monday night, ! after taking my last
Oxy,
late the night before. Feeling better now, but don’t really care much for
the Suboxone, although it does work wonders for many people, maybe being
on
such high doses of Oxy (20+, 80mg a day), with a little H and Coke mixed
in,
is just too much for the Sub to take me all the way out of withdrawal. At
least major relief comes after about half a week or so … but the fatigue
seems to stay for ever.
Damn! I want an affordable, safe, reliable way to get an Iboga/Ibogaine
treatment; and I will find one. Sooner, rather than later, I hope.
Preston, as well as everyone, thank you for helping keep the dream alive
for
those of us who want to take the jump. I hope your lives continue to
improve, as you help others to improve their lives as well.

Hey Preston,  I forgot to ask you if you were going to haed over to the Meadow this afternoon? From what I hear thats where everything is ending up whether they like it or not. Should be fun but don’t forget your gas mask. Seriously, if you feel like meeting over there let me know. As of now, I think it’ll just be me and my sister, but that could change. Also I think our friend from Bleecker St will be there. I’m home now so if you want we can smoke at my house before.
I’m thinking I’ll head over around 3:00. Let me know. -M.

Seriously, it’s ok to slip sometimes. Maybe you needed a reminder of why
you want to not be using. Perhaps you simply needed to have a night of

why you really “slipped” but you’ve most certainly NOT thrown it all out.
That’s straight outta NA/AA, the idea that by making one mistake you are no

Of course I think 5mg/kg is appropriate in the appropriate circumstances. If
you are more fearful of addicition than you are fearful of life than that is
very good. On the fear in gen! eral issue, just remember you don’t have to
be
frightened. Part of overcoming fear is knowing what you are frightened of.
Screaming is OK. Crying is OK. Doing good works is OK.

Shelly,

I very much agree with Preston that taking the 12 step, “well all that time is gone now” apporoach may not be the best.  The fact is, you have NOT used more then you have used for, did I hear correctly 3 months?  Don’t let that shame/guilt or whatever bring you down.  You are where you are now, not yesterday or whatever.  Just learn from it and let it go.  Know you aren’t alone.  And when I say that it isn’t as some slogan to put on a bumper sticker, Shelly, you really aren’t alone, for real yo!!

Sometimes, when I first stopped after iboga, I felt I had to be perfect because I felt like the iboga/ine salesman or spokesman or whatever (obviouslly an ego trip) and that prevented me from looking at some of the leftover stuff that I had to look at without iboga/ine.  Everyone is different though and I don’t want to project my experience as yours.  Find your own path.  And please Talk soon.

With Love to you and your family,
Jason

PS Julia, that isn’t me in the picts, as much as I would like for it to be :  )

A pain patient that was taking 500 60 mil Oxys every two weeks comes back in to the pain management clinic a week later and needs a 1/4 or even less of what he was taking before. How can that be anything but a huge medical breakthrough? Why is the medical field so uninformed when it comes to something so profound? Wait, I think I know the answer to that one.

Yeah, I agree, being a pain patient and all.
I can’t wait to hand my doc that cool book about ibogaine- both he and the
assistant doc were blown away, very obviously, that I was not only asking
for but basically demanding that my dose be lowered- and they were more than
happy to do so for me. They were very weirded out too I could tell, in that
I was admiting to having taken a very illegal drug they’d never heard of,
one that obviously works, at least for me anyway.
So it’s going to be a real treat to hand them that book about ibogaine.
Peace and love,
Preston

There is no hard and fast to all of this.  And for some patients there is
little noribogaine in the picture at all. The best case scenario is that at what
ever point, if you can you just figure it out and keep on trucking…well,
keep on trucking.

It is like you are all forecasting doom.  I don’t feel the ibogaine
anymore…fuck!!  OK..fuck!!  If there is a noribogaine patch…fine.  If there is a
booster dose of ibogaine…fine but, if not…fine too.  I don’t mean to be
harsh.  I just want you all to be a comfortable as possible.  Be good to
yourselves.  Be kind to yourselves.  It is OK to love yourselves.

If you live in a constant state of fear of what will happen when the ibogaine
wears off or if there is not another dose of ibogaine you are setting
yourself up to be frightened and fear drives addiction.  I am not saying these are
not realities but, try to give yourselves a break. Don’t be so hard on your
selves.  Yea, yea I know it these are just words but, in the beginning there was
the word.

The whole noribogaine patch and 18-mc development programs are very
discouraging.  It seems doctors with universities behind them can’t get a drug
development program off the ground when a few uncredentialed iboganauts could.  What
is the world coming to? What incompetence!

My main lapcat Bobbie came over and sprawled on top of me as soon as I began
to feel the first ibo dose. He got a little heavy pretty quickly so I had to
ask him to get off, but I appreciated having him and the other 9 around-
they’re some of my favorite people too. They were very well behaved during
my voyage, although I think V locked some of them in the back bedroom for
the first day due to their overexhuberant behavior All The Time.

I completely agree that the cats are not only aware that I’m tripping
(on other substances too when I am actually tripping) that they’re very
concious and react very visibly to whatever forces are unleashed while I’m
dosed. Shrooms, wow, they watch and following things all around the room
while I’m tripping, every single time.

Hi Preston,
I hope your after-Ibo experience is still filled with much more joy and
energy, than the other side of the coin.  I hate to be redundant, but it
really has been uplifting, to read about your experience, as it happens.

I know a clinical setting is suggested by most people as the best
atmosphere
to do Ibo/Ibogaine, but you mentioned one of the biggest factors (but not
the only) that make me want to do my treatment at home.  I want my cats to
be with me to share in the experience with me, and for me to ask guidance

May I wish much peace and love to you, and all,

Sandy wondered >I am wondering if most folks find meat less interesting
after ibogaine or is it just folks who sort of want to eat less of it, find

I’m curious about this too. Does anyone here with more experience with
post-ibo folk have any info on this? Is it common for those who try ibo to
come out of it with this aversion to meat? Or is it more the focus on being
healthy and not putting poisons (damn this smokes) into my/our bodies?
Because in my case, I’ve stopped so much intake of animal products I’m
blowing V’s strictly Vegan and very happy mind. I don’t do meat at all now,
for the last 3 weeks or so, and my dairy intake has been drastically
reduced- V was just pointing out how long a half-gallon of milk is now
lasting as opposed to the quart to half-gallon a DAY I was going through
pre-ibo. I don’t do cold cereal anymore (at this point anyway) and other
dairy products are as noted drastically reduced.
Peace and love,
Preston

Hey Preston.  Your remark that you have an aversion to meat after ibogaine
interests me a lot, since I remember, even before my ibo trips meat would
interest me much less.  However, I wanted to become a vegetarian and found
iboga somehow made it easier.  I am wondering if most folks find meat less
interesting after ibogaine or is it just folks who sort of want to eat less
of it, find it easier to abstain.
It’s taken me years, but I am finally about 75% vegan, and feel much
“cleaner” in my body without animal products in it very much.  I still crave
meat but it comes and goes and if I do give in to it, I don’t seem to want
it again for quite a while and it sort of disgusts me after the first few
bites.
Just wondering?
Best,  Sandy

Any ideas when this greater availability might be available in the Pacific
Northwest, USA?  I’ve spent time in NY and love “The City” with a passion,
but am not able to make a trip there right now.
I don’t know if I could emotionally handle the changes from three years ago,
anyway.

Hi Preston,

Just read you interview with FM.  It was cool learn more about him.  He
called constantly during my treatment, and made my parents feel as calm as
possible about what I was doing.

He is really a great guy, and I think that ongoing treatments in the US is a
great goal.
I wouln’d mind a second treatment myself in about six months.  Good to know
this may be possible.

I think that one of the
area the folks who are setting up the underground railroad for ibogaine
treatments have to consider is forming alliances with the pain patient
rights
groups.  And that has to be done be getting ibogaine to pain management
patients.<

Yeah, I agree, being a pain patient and all.
I can’t wait to hand my doc that cool book about ibogaine- both he and the
assistant doc were blown away, very obviously, that I was not only asking
for but basically demanding that my dose be lowered- and they were more than
happy to do so for me. They were very weirded out too I could tell, in that
I was admiting to having taken a very illegal drug they’d never heard of,
one that obviously works, at least for me anyway.
So it’s going to be a real treat to hand them that book about ibogaine.
Peace and love,
Preston

P.S. Howard, I have a question. I am sure you have thought about this
approach but the lack of incentive due to small profits from Ibogaine use
could be offset by it’s use with opiates in chronic pain management
cases.
Of course
I am referring to pretty small amounts but if IBO undoes ‘addiction’ and
also
lowers one’s tolerance to opiates, couldn’t it be touted as a useful
supplement
when administered with opiate medication? It would keep the patient’s
need
for increasing dosages to a minimum and would (could?)prevent addiction!
What
do you think?

Julian,

Ibogaine ability to potentiate opiate analgesia was one of the earliest
discoveries in the modern ibogaine period.  jurg Schneider, a Ciba
pharmacologist
who went on to become the President of Dupont’s  biochemicals division
made the
discovery in the 1950s.

Pharmaceutical companies do not want to develop molecules found in nature
and
for whatever reason, they apparently don’t want to develop any of the
iboga
alkaloids that may have a potential to effect drug dependence.  If iboga
alkaloids were out there to be used as an adjunct to pain management you
can bet
your bottom dollar there would be off label uses galore.  I think that one
of the
area the folks who are setting up the underground railroad for ibogaine
treatments have to consider is forming alliances with the pain patient
rights
groups.  And that has to be done be getting ibogaine to pain management
patients.
On my part I will initiate contact with pain management organizations for
political actions issues but, I’m simply not going to be among the front
line
troops dosing patients:  Been there, done that.

For those of you who cannot get to the Harm Reduction Conference in New
Orleans in November, I will have my presentation up on the Ibogaine
Dossier and I
think that will give you some understanding of the historical precedents
that
have already been established for movements of this kind: Those offering
freedom rather than slavery and self determination rather than blind
obedience.  You
are so right Julian.  The questions is how do we make it so.

There are folk trying to make this a reality Charlie, but I’ve been a little
worried these past couple of day about it, due to my own personal fears of
prohibitionist maniacs. I have a real, hell, a Very Real Fear of going
through the Tombs (central cooking basically, only central booking has been
done away with here, so it’s now just the precinct house then the Tombs) and
on to Rikers Island wearing my typical choice in clothing, facing serious
drug charges- so I am slightly hesitant now to steer anyone towards those
doing treatments. At the same time, this is such an important issue, and
such an important possibility, that I’m almost of the attitude…almost?
That’s not quite right- I’m very much of the attitude that SOMEONE has to do
it, and there aren’t a lot of others out there doing so now, so every voice
helps- so heck, I feel very torn and more than a bit nervous about what the
jackbooted thugs are thinking (and possibly doing) about the underground
Ibogaine treatments.
I hope this doesn’t come across as too negative, as I don’t mean it to-
I’m really simply voicing my fear here and sounding things out- feedback
always helps me think I find, and it helps me sort things out, make
decisions about my own thinking.
Peace and love all,
Preston

I sure hope I end up at a clinic (or similar), to find out if I would take
the booster, as necessary.
I went back on Suboxone this past Monday night, after taking my last Oxy,
late the night before. Feeling better now, but don’t really care much for
the Suboxone, although it does work wonders for many people, maybe being
on
such high doses of Oxy (20+, 80mg a day), with a little H and Coke mixed
in,
is just too much for the Sub to take me all the way out of withdrawal.  At
least major relief comes after about half a week or so … but the fatigue
seems to stay for ever.
Damn! I want an affordable, safe, reliable way to get an Iboga/Ibogaine
treatment; and I will find one.  Sooner, rather than later, I hope.
Preston, as well as everyone, thank you for helping keep the dream alive
for
those of us who want to take the jump.  I hope your lives continue to
improve, as you help others to improve their lives as well.

Apparently V woke me on Sunday night to give me my first booster,

I
fought taking it until Monday morning, early sometime. (I thought
until
last
week that it’d been just a couple hours that I’d refused to take the
booster

finally
calmed down enough to think about others’ reactions (that I’d read

it
did
too, within about an hour I suppose.

Of course I think 5mg/kg is appropriate in the appropriate circumstances. If
you are more fearful of addicition than you are fearful of life than that is
very good. On the fear in general issue, just remember you don’t have to be
frightened. Part of overcoming fear is knowing what you are frightened of.

Callie, my name is Brad, I’ve been slow to “jump-in”. About your father, it is not wrong, in my opinion. Our laws make it illegal and therefore very difficult and troublesome. No it is not wrong for letting anyone have the key to his brain. A question is will you be able to keep his habit, indefinately???  You will hate to be in a position where he needs them and you can not help. Certainly at 70 years old his continued good spirit is more important than whether or not he is taking 4 a day or 8 a day. The DEA has taken it upon themselves to intimidate the Medical profession to the point of fearing to give your father even a minimum of necessary pain medication. Yes Euphoria must be “eliminated”.bf

Hey Howard, I have another hypothetical. Say there was a guy who was in a very similar situation to me, responded beautifully to the treatment, almost 40 days out, but now is dealing with a little noise in the head again. Do you think maybe a 5 mil per kilo might do some good? Look, I’m not saying I’m on the fence, or that I want to get high, because last night and how I dealt with everything was probably a very important step in my recovery and will keep me in a good space for some time but it scared me a little. Okay it scared me a lot.
Any thoughts?

Hi Preston,
I hope your after-Ibo experience is still filled with much more joy and
energy, than the other side of the coin.  I hate to be redundant, but it
really has been uplifting, to read about your experience, as it happens.

I know a clinical setting is suggested by most people as the best atmosphere
to do Ibo/Ibogaine, but you mentioned one of the biggest factors (but not
the only) that make me want to do my treatment at home.  I want my cats to
be with me to share in the experience with me, and for me to ask guidance
from if I get lost in my vision.  My cats are my favorite people.
May I wish much peace and love to you, and all,
Charlie

Hey Preston.  Your remark that you have an aversion to meat after ibogaine interests me a lot, since I remember, even before my ibo trips meat would interest me much less.  However, I wanted to become a vegetarian and found iboga somehow made it easier.  I am wondering if most folks find meat less interesting after ibogaine or is it just folks who sort of want to eat less of it, find it easier to abstain.
It’s taken me years, but I am finally about 75% vegan, and feel much “cleaner” in my body without animal products in it very much.  I still crave meat but it comes and goes and if I do give in to it, I don’t seem to want it again for quite a while and it sort of disgusts me after the first few bites.
Just wondering?
Best,  Sandy

Since I was 18 (I’m 41 now), I have been to treatment for, and successfully recovered from being a hard core alcoholic (+misc experiments, pot, shrooms, etc), for 8 years anyway, started drinking again as well as being an obsessive crack smoker, and after a few years more of abuse, treatment, clean & sober for another 8 years.  That brings me up to the opiate abuse of the past 5-6 years, where I managed to stay clean, by using Suboxone, for 5 weeks, followed by relapse.
In the past 25 years, I’ve seriously tried quitting smoking (tobacco); I lasted four weeks when in my early 20’s, and a total of 13 days, about 5 years ago.  Despite the pain and hell of opiate withdrawal, I know I can kick opiates long term (5 days on Suboxone today), before I can say the same for smokes.
This is one of the major factors that encourage me about doing a serious Ibo treatment.  I know there’s no guarantee, but if I could quit either at this point, it would be miracle enough; to get my head “broken open” to the point where I could happily stay away from both, would mean more to me than I can express … but I’m sure many have a good idea anyway.
Thanks to all, for letting me blow off steam,
Charlie

I can’t remember what day  for me it is anymore so no more of that day 29 day 30 shit.  All I do know is this has been the longest time I’ve not been under the influence of dope in one form or another. I quit smoking on Tuesday and believe it or not I’m finding its harder to stop somking that it is for me to not shoot dope, a lot harder. But I think one of the gifts I got from my ibogaine experience was the ability to exert some kind of impulse control, something I could never do in the past, which has made it a million times easier. This feeling of not wanting to harm my body anymore is just so different than anything I’ve ever felt before. I see myself getting stronger and looking better everyday and the motivation I get from that is tremendous. So much more profound than the illusion of dope.  A REAL warmth.
Thanks. -M.

Hi Preston,

Just read you interview with FM.  It was cool learn more about him.  He called constantly during my treatment, and made my parents feel as calm as possible about what I was doing.

He is really a great guy, and I think that ongoing treatments in the US is a great goal.
I wouln’d mind a second treatment myself in about six months.  Good to know this may be possible.

Hi Ms iboga. I am Julian and am currently on methadone. I think it is difficult to really advise you as to the best means to an end for you since it is an unknown. In other words, why are you so desperate to get off meth? I don’t mean the usual shit we all have to deal with re policy of clinics because most of the reasons people want out of meth exist with heroin but worse. I would like to ask you a question but need you to be extremely honest. Does it boil down to wanting euphoria? I just wrote a message about this because I’ve never met one person (yet) that complained too much about meth until the high, the buzz stopped. I won’t even talk about others. ME! Meth was God’s piss to me but as it began to work on my body as it is intended and the euphoria stopped, I was disappointed! As a matter of fact, I thought I should go to England because I could get dope or meth-my choice(at least it was back then, I don’t know if it is still this way).

I am just saying that it is very important for you to be honest with yourself about what your goal is. What your end is. Your means to that will probably answer itself at that point. If it is about missing euphoria, Man do I understand!! If it really is solely about getting off meth, then detox slowly with your clinic. Callie did ask some good questions. What is your history with drugs? How old are you and how long have you been using? What’s your dose?

One last note. There are other fast detoxes besides Ibogaine. I am not recommending them, just stating a fact that they exist. Essentially you are put to sleep and flooded with some antagonist like narcan et al. Your body goes into severe and instant withdrawal but you are in a deep sleep for this period. From the research I have done, it has a nominal success rate. Hey, let’s face it, this is one mother fucker of an illness, injury or choice! It can work but you really need to talk with Doctors about this. It is a desperate choice of detox.

So, think hard about what really is going on inside you. The answer is probably there as well.

Sincerely,
Julian

P.S. Howard, I have a question. I am sure you have thought about this
approach but the lack of incentive due to small profits from Ibogaine use
could be offset by it’s use with opiates in chronic pain management cases.
Of course
I am referring to pretty small amounts but if IBO undoes ‘addiction’ and also
lowers one’s tolerance to opiates, couldn’t it be touted as a useful
supplement
when administered with opiate medication? It would keep the patient’s need
for increasing dosages to a minimum and would (could?)prevent addiction! What
do you think?

Julian,

Ibogaine ability to potentiate opiate analgesia was one of the earliest
discoveries in the modern ibogaine period.  jurg Schneider, a Ciba pharmacologist
who went on to become the President of Dupont’s  biochemicals division made the
discovery in the 1950s.

Pharmaceutical companies do not want to develop molecules found in nature and
for whatever reason, they apparently don’t want to develop any of the iboga
alkaloids that may have a potential to effect drug dependence.  If iboga
alkaloids were out there to be used as an adjunct to pain management you can bet
your bottom dollar there would be off label uses galore.  I think that one of the
area the folks who are setting up the underground railroad for ibogaine
treatments have to consider is forming alliances with the pain patient rights
groups.  And that has to be done be getting ibogaine to pain management patients.
On my part I will initiate contact with pain management organizations for
political actions issues but, I’m simply not going to be among the front line
troops dosing patients:  Been there, done that.

For those of you who cannot get to the Harm Reduction Conference in New
Orleans in November, I will have my presentation up on the Ibogaine Dossier and I

I sure hope I end up at a clinic (or similar), to find out if I would take
the booster, as necessary.
I went back on Suboxone this past Monday night, after taking my last Oxy,
late the night before. Feeling better now, but don’t really care much for
the Suboxone, although it does work wonders for many people, maybe being on
such high doses of Oxy (20+, 80mg a day), with a little H and Coke mixed in,
is just too much for the Sub to take me all the way out of withdrawal.  At
least major relief comes after about half a week or so … but the fatigue
seems to stay for ever.
Damn! I want an affordable, safe, reliable way to get an Iboga/Ibogaine
treatment; and I will find one.  Sooner, rather than later, I hope.
Preston, as well as everyone, thank you for helping keep the dream alive for
those of us who want to take the jump.  I hope your lives continue to
improve, as you help others to improve their lives as well.

automatically give you the boosters that there would not be any hanging

Apparently V woke me on Sunday night to give me my first booster, and
I
fought taking it until Monday morning, early sometime. (I thought
until
last
week that it’d been just a couple hours that I’d refused to take the
booster

finally
calmed down enough to think about others’ reactions (that I’d read
about
recently) and that if I took the booster supposedly it’d help- and it
did
too, within about an hour I suppose.

This physical/metaphysical doctrine about IBO is one of finest I have ever read re: all the substances I have been studying or researching as of late. I am impressed by the amount of data both scientific and anecdotal.

Thank You to all concerned,
Julian

P.S. Howard, I have a question. I am sure you have thought about this approach but the lack of incentive due to small profits from Ibogaine use could be offset by it’s use with opiates in chronic pain management cases. Of course I am referring to pretty small amounts but if IBO undoes ‘addiction’ and also lowers one’s tolerance to opiates, couldn’t it be touted as a useful supplement when administered with opiate medication? It would keep the patient’s need for increasing dosages to a minimum and would (could?)prevent addiction! What do you think?

Julie asked >Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed?<

Yes, but I began using poppy tea just a week or so into the final kicking
stage, when I finally stopped drinking my take-homes, then dilaudids a few
months down the road, after the poppy tea stopped doing anything for my pain
whatsoever
But, while I was not exactly locked into bed for a month while kicking
(though hell, it felt like at least a month that I was laid up and useless
when kicking- but it wasn’t, it was more like 2 weeks- but keep in mind I
began taking other opiates fairly soon into the kicking, so I can’t honestly
say I kicked completely at any point, though I do think I prolonged it
somewhat by substituting weak and pathetic poppy tea for methadone- then
anyway.) I did take lots of baths and such, and smoked a lot of pot while
kicking methadone. Kicking methadone even in the manner I did it in 2000
sucked big time.
And you are correct Julie in that kicking (kicking anything really, not
just methadone), and trying to actually do work and stuff is very difficult-
I completely stopped writing for a month or so at that time, until I had
enough strength to pick it up again.

Hi Callie,

I’m 26.  I have used opiates for about four years, and
all kinds of drugs( mostly E, ac*d, GHB and grass) for
years before that.  All I know, is that H was way
easier to kick than this sh*t.  Sure, it was a bit
more painful, but so much shorter!

Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed?  I don’t crave H
anymore; in fact, it kind of repulses me.  But I’ve
heard that Ibo is way more effective for heroin
addiction than for methadone, as meth stays for SO
long in your body.

I know I might sound naive, but I am desperate- I am
starting my own business this fall, and can’t take all
the side effects of opiate withdrawal while trying to
do paperwork or interpersonal stuff.

Except that heroin is MUCH easier to kick when one finally does decide to
kick, and much more pleasent in the body and brain. Also, and please
remember that I am speaking in my own case, I never did get “high” from
taking my methadone, not even at the over-a-hundred dosages I was on at one
point. Also, so long as one is not arrested, or does not buy bad dope, with
heroin one does not have to deal with power-trippin’ counselors and nurses
and such at the meth clinic, nor does one have to stand in li…well,
actually, I’ve been in many heroin lines, so never mind on that particular
point- and I certainly had to deal with power-trippin’ hoods who would treat
me like shit for buying their heroin. Weird.
Anyway, I’m not sure I agree with the “compounding problems” angle,
other than for the glaring point that the police are more likely to arrest
us for using illegal heroin than for using legal methadone.
Hmmmm.
This is a hard one for me to decide on, because I can totally relate to
the idea that meth is BAD BAD Bad and heroin really isn’t so BAd, BAD baD.

Hi all,
A little further update- apparently the response in Harlem to the recent
ibogaine influx has been a whole 180 degrees different than what Dana and
Howard experienced 10 years ago- there has beena  lot of interest shown with
lots of people both wanting to get involved from the treatment end of things
and to get treated themselves.
There’s not much more data at this point, other than for the fact that
so far as I know, this is going to happen not only in Harlem but all over
the country very soonly. Let’s hope anyway.

Here’s some interesting links I’m sure you  have all seen before, but just in case I’m not the only one here still learning.

By the way, I would personally like to hear more from the different providers.  I, for one, am very interested in what they have learned.

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Exhibit/2869/gabon.html (nice pics)

———————————————————————————————–
Regarding heroin vs. methadone.  This is only my opinion, but if heroin was legal in a clinic setting, I’d say go for it.  But it’s not, and so black market “gee, hope this isn’t a hot shot”, spend too much time scoring or attempting to score, etc.  Plus, at least for me, compulsion seems allot harder to keep in control with heroin rather then ‘done.  But you are right, heroin is a short acting and methadone a long acting.  So what.  Both can be kicked with ibo.  Especially if starting new business, why throw heroin into the mix?  And I am also curious, why stop Methadone Maint in the first place, do you have a warrant or something that means you must stop methadone this moment or else?  I’m curious why you don’t have the time to save for ibo treatment.  At least get your business footing on the ground first, let it find it’s legs first?  You would know better then me.  I think you know the right path, although, it may not be the easy one.  Or keep asking more peope, perhaps one will give you an answer you want them to give : )

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

O’Hearn injected rats with 100mg/kg of ibogaine and observed the damage to or death
of Purkinje cells in the brain.  Helen Molinari, a colleague of Glick found
that 40mg/kg of ibogaine caused no Purkinje cell injury and Xu and Ali out of
the FDA laboratory at the National Toxicological Research Center found that
there was no damage to Purkinje cells in the brains of rats at 25mg/kg ibogaine by
injection.

100 mg/kg is like 4X the highest dose (25mg/kg) for opiate interuption, and from what I understand a lot of providers are dosing more in the 22mg/kg range.

100mgs/kg would be quite a dose to ingest, and most likely toxic on many levels.

I feel sorry for those poor rats who suffer in the name of science.

a blessing for the ibogarodents!

Dear Mr. Howard,

I don’t care what they are saying. I’m always behind the dice. Most
important thing is for me: practical benefits of Iboga and there is no doubt
that it’s working.

Those days I’m preparing for my next Iboga cure.

What is the “best” dose for Iboga cure. What if rootbark and pure Iboga.
Would you tell me that what is the suitable anti-emetic (against to nousea)
with Iboga.

Thank you

Best Regards
FakePlacebo

Hi Callie,

I’m 26.  I have used opiates for about four years, and
all kinds of drugs( mostly E, ac*d, GHB and grass) for
years before that.  All I know, is that H was way
easier to kick than this sh*t.  Sure, it was a bit
more painful, but so much shorter!

Has anyone been able to actually get off of methadone
without spending a month in bed?  I don’t crave H
anymore; in fact, it kind of repulses me.  But I’ve
heard that Ibo is way more effective for heroin
addiction than for methadone, as meth stays for SO
long in your body.

I know I might sound naive, but I am desperate- I am
starting my own business this fall, and can’t take all
the side effects of opiate withdrawal while trying to
do paperwork or interpersonal stuff.

Julie

Just reread my post and it comes across as smart ass and I do not want you to think I am being a smart ass.
I just really think you are messing up if you go back to heroin.
I have been an addict for 25 plus years, a full blown junkie addict for at least 25 of those years. It is experience talking. I really can’t see any reason for anyone to use heroin, especially if they have Methadone. You will be much better off slowly detoxing from Methadone. If you don’t  have time or money for slow detox you should probably try to be admitted to hospital or treatment for detox.
Heroin is bad news. Methadone was invented to get folks off heroin not the other way around.
There have been several posts discussing this the past few days. Go back and reread them if you can. If you have deleted them I will be happy to resend them to you.
I really hope you will change your mind and consider other options,
hugs to you!

Hi list,

I have a quick question for you all- I am pretty
desperate to get off methadone, and am considering
weening myself with H( no shooting, just sniffing or
smoking).  I am just wondering: when I stop taking
methadone, but start taking another opiate, am I just
compounding my addiction?  When the meth starts to
break off from my receptors, will the H bond with it,
to make it last longer?

I am pretty ignorant about all this, and would
appreciate anyone’s input.  If this is a stupid
question, I apologize.

Julie

Howard,

No, I probably didn’t drink enough water- maybe that

gastrointestinal disorder, unless you count all the
lovely junk-related stuff like flip-flopping between
constipation and the runs.

I managed to get my hands on 20gm of the rootbark
powder, but am a little timid to do it again for a
while.  I am a partial vegetarian-no red meat- but now
I don’t even crave chicken or fish.  I’ll just stick
to my berries and grains, thank you.  🙂

Thank you for your help, Howard,

Researcher Disclaimer:

Make no mistake, Ibogaine is a dangerous psychedelic drug. Different
people of the same weight and height react differently to ingestion of
the same amount of this refined root bark. Although the drug is
approved for clinical trials as a “Rapid Opiate Detox Treatment” in
the United States, it is a Schedule 1 controlled hallucinogen with “no
known medical use.”

LEGAL STATUS
The US Department of Justice’s Search Page with “Ibogaine” entered:
RESULTS:
http://search.usdoj.gov/compass?scope=Ibogaine+&ui=sr&view-template=dojsimple&
page=1

Erowid’s page on the Legal Status of Ibogaine
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ibogaine/ibogaine_law.shtml
Note: International Laws:

…”Australia
Ibogaine may be illegal to possess & sell in Australia, but it does
not appear to be listed in the controlled substances lists (Search
Australian Law). Ibogaine is clearly illegal to import into Australia
without a license, it is “Schedule IV” in the import laws: AU Import
Regulations.

Belgium
Purified ibogaine is restricted. It is unclear whether the T. iboga
root powder is also restricted, but may be.

England
As of late 1998, the Home Office Drug Unit reported that Ibogaine is
not specifically listed in the Controlled Substances List in the UK.
The Medicines Control Agency (MCA) does not recognize Ibogaine as a
drug, but does not that it is credited with having hallucinogenic
properties. This apparently means that it is legal to buy or import
for personal use, but to sell it, administer it to others, or make it
available as a treament would likely be illegal without a
prescription.

Sweden
Unverified. We have heard that purified ibogaine is the equivalent of
a Schedule I drug in Sweden. It is unclear whether the plant T. iboga
is also restricted.

Switzerland
Purified ibogaine is restricted. It is unclear whether the T. iboga
root powder is also restricted, but may be…”

Reference:
http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/
…”Ibogaine’s current legal status in the UK, and much of the rest of
the world, is that of an unlicensed, experimental medication, and it
not therefore an offence to possess the drug, though to act as a
distributor may be breaking the law. Ibogaine is a restricted
substance (possession is illegal) in some countries, including the US,
Switzerland, Sweden and Belgium…”
Under no circumstances is it advisable to take Ibogaine alone. Medical
supervision is a requirement. Of all the Ibogaine that is for sale on
the Internet, be cautioned that there are two major categories: weaker
and stronger: weaker being less refined and the stronger being nearly
pure Ibogaine. Even within those categories one could expect wide
deviations of strength.

Reference:
http://www.ibogaine-therapy.net/psychedelic.html
…”Not all people have the capacity to metabolize ibogaine into
nor-ibogaine and they are not good candidates for this treatment. We
screen all patients with a blood test to see if this treatment will
work for them. Ibogaine works in 90% of patients and can be dangerous
for the other 10%, either causing toxicity due to high levels. This is
why it is very important to test this enzyme…”

It’s not unusual to be highly nauseated after ingesting Ibogaine. And,
with the correct dose, life as you knew it is forever changed. It is
an incredible mind-expanding experience. It’s ability to pull
repressed memories from your subconscious and present them before you,
eyes closed, as if you are watching a movie, might not be what you are
ready for. If you are not ready to confront your inner demons then
this drug is not for you. After you recall your repressed memories,
the next 12-20 hours of the experience is spent in relative silence
while your mind processes these newly recalled memories. It’s not an
experience you can alter or stop (short of thorazine) once it has
begun. It’s an awful lot to handle, and has been likened to two or
more years of intense psychotherapy, all in 36 hours.

If you are considering using Ibogaine, I recommend you go to one of
the treatment centers outside the United States that offers treatment
in a medical setting with trained professionals. Keep in mind most
people seek Ibogaine treatment for the rapid opiate detox, so any
pages I link to will have that theme. The centers will certainly be
familiar with the “other reasons” for taking Ibogaine and will be able
to accomodate those requests as well. The highest level of caution is
indicated in any endevour with Ibogaine.

Here is a warning from http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/index.htm:
…”There is an inherent level of risk with ibogaine treatment.
Several people are known to have died during treatment, and there may
in truth be many more, given that ibogaine is frequently administered
in surroundings where people may be reluctant to contact the
authorities in the event of something going wrong. Despite much
speculation, some of it from medical professionals, there is simply
nowhere near enough data to draw any realistic conclusions as to why
these deaths have occurred. Taking too much of the drug; using stepped
doses, (ie: half a gram followed by another later on); being
excessively thin; or suffering from liver or heart problems have all
been suggested as dangers. But the truth is – no-one really knows why
people sometimes die when taking ibogaine. No deaths have occurred in
clinical settings, as far as the writer is aware…”

End disclaimer.  *phew*

The University of Miami and the Syracuse University have both held
clinical trials in the past. Because of the nature of Ibogaine: a
one-time use drug, it’s difficult for advocates to find funding for
clinical trials. The big pharmacutical companies don’t want to finance
the refining of a drug that users will likely only take once.
Traditional treatment centers that advocate abstinance, and methadone
clinics, see Ibogaine as a threat to their methods and teachings. The
AA crowd doesn’t like it either.

Reference:

An Introduction to Ibogaine by: Nick Sandberg


…Ibogaine development has been beset with hold-ups for years. The
existing legal disputes may now be close to resolution, but ibogaine
still needs the participation of a pharmaceutical company for it to
make it to the mass market. The business of developing new medications
is solely in the hands of the private sector – the pharmaceutical
corporations – and the problems that drugs companies appear to have
with ibogaine are many.

Firstly, as a drug derived from a natural source, patent options are
more limited than they would be for a drug that can only be created in
the lab. Potentially, this greatly reduces the level of financial
return that the drug could provide, of serious concern considering the
degree of backing needed to bring a new drug to the market. Whilst, in
the West, there are governmental provisions in place to encourage
companies to develop drugs that could be socially useful, to date no
one seems interested in taking advantage of them for ibogaine.

Secondly, ibogaine is not a maintenance drug – it is not taken
repeatedly over a short period of time – and is usually administered
only once. As a general rule, medications developed by the drugs
companies, for whatever purpose, are maintenance drugs, for only
maintenance drugs allow sufficient financial return to justify the
necessary prior outlay on research and development.

Thirdly, industry insiders relate that there are public relations
concerns when developing medications for groups that are negatively
socially marginalized in the way drug addicts have become. Drug
companies, like most modern corporations, are acutely image-sensitive
and there are thus concerns that developing medications for addicts
could bring about a deterioration in their overall market value.

Finally, some believe that bringing an addiction medication of
ibogaine’s potential to the market may present “conflict of interest”
problems, of dubious moral worth, to other corporate bodies involved
with the sale of licensed recreational substances such as alcohol or
tobacco…”

Ibogaine is currently being studied in the United States and other
countries for it’s anti-addiction properties. After a single
treatment, heroin addicts report absolutely no withdrawl symptoms, and
more remarkably, no desire for heroin. This effect appears to last for
weeks to months. It’s thought to fill the same receptors in the brain
that heroin (and methadone) fill, but for a much longer time. In
short, it appears that Ibogaine “resets” the addiction clock back to a
pre-addiction state. When being used for it’s rapid opiate detox
properties, more than one treatment may be indicated, however the
treatments are spaced months or even years apart.

Here’s an ‘ad’ for Ibogaine Rapid 24 hour Detox:
http://www.relfe.com/ibogaine.html

The other, even more remarkable effect of Ibogaine is it’s
“dream-creating” properties. Although a user remains in their normal
ego-state and is able to think, talk, and answer questions about what
they are experiencing, an overlayment of the dream-state occurs.
Experiencing the recollection of your repressed memories is
accomplished without the usual uncomfortable feelings associated with
remembering traumatic events. It’s done as an observer, but still in
the first person.

Ibogaine is one of twelve alkaloids obtained from the root of the
plant Tabernanthe iboga found in West Africa. There is a picture of
the plant here:

Tabernanthe iboga – (plant source of ibogaine)
http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/

…more pictures:
http://www.iboga.org/fr/ibkph_2.htm

It has been used for centuries by the Bwiti natives of West Africa in
‘coming of age’ rituals. The entire tribe participates during these
celebrations.

The Religion of Iboga …or the Bwiti of the Fangs
http://www.ibogaine.org/barabe.html
…”The initiation begins with a bath in a forest stream while the
cithara is heard. The candidates receive a handful of freshly picked
iboga roots, a set quantity chosen for each of them. They use small
baskets of woven rattan, the size of saucers, manufactured for this
purpose and tied together three by three. The young sometimes show a
certain reluctance to chew these roots, and they may be given the
contents of a gourd to drink, consisting of water in which the iboga
root has been macerated. The boy often vomits, but that is a good sign
because “you must vomit (everything) up to the first drop of milk”,
meaning that you must totally reject earthly life to accede to another
life. Very quickly, highly colored images appear, the initiates lose
consciousness of the outer world and fall into a deep sleep on a mat
laid out on the ground. The state of lethargy depends on the dose of
iboga ingested and may last 4 to 5 days during which time no food is
taken. The purpose of absorbing this “beverage of bitterness” is to be
able to see the beyond thanks to the hallucinogenic properties of
iboga, to communicate with God and the ancestors, and to die on this
earth in order to be reborn closer to God…..Iboga is the very source
of the bwiti religion, commonly called “religion of Eboga”. Iboga
gives knowledge of the beyond through the spiritual death, in advance
of its time, that it produces. By the visions that it brings about,
ritual mastication of iboga permits contact with ancestors and gods:
Mebeghe is the name of the divinity in the Fangs, a supreme being
without mother or father or spouse. It engenders the three divinities
by bursting the divine primordial egg…”

Clearly, the spiritual properties are what the Bwiti natives use Iboga
for. Ibogaine was “discovered” as an anti-addiction treatment (in the
US) by Howard Lotsof, who in the early 1960’s took some Ibogaine that
a friend gave him for fun.

Reference:
Ibogaine as a possible cure for drug addiction?
http://www.globalideasbank.org/BOV/BV-224.HTML
…”In 1956 CIBA-Geigy (a major drug company) found Ibogaine
potentiates morphine analgesia, but did not pursue it. In the early
1960s, American Howard Lotsof, then a heroin addict himself, happened
to be offered a dose of ibogaine, with the promise that it would get
him really high. He had a remarkable time, seeing visions and being
taken back through his personal history, but what really amazed him
was that afterwards his desire for heroin had vanished – with no
withdrawal pains, and no effort of will…”

That begins the history of Ibogaine in the US. For more, I direct you
here:

IBOGAINE: A BRIEF HISTORY – INCLUDING RESEARCH CONDUCTED IN 1995 &
1996

…and here:

An Introduction to Ibogaine

An Introduction to Ibogaine by: Nick Sandberg


…”Ibogaine is a psychedelic drug. A better description of the
effects of Ibogaine would be oneirophrenic or “dream creating”. To a
bystander it would appear that a person on ibogaine was simply lying
down in a state of partial sleep having dreams. Some patients report
their experience as if they were watching a movie of their life or
they were able to reorganize the file cabinets in their brains.
Ibogaine allows someone to see their true self and to re-experience
past events and repressed memories in a detached way without the
emotional pain often associated with these memories. Every person’s
experience is as unique as the individual; insights into the
unconscious might be a valuable foundation for a future without drugs.
Not everyone who ingests ibogaine has a vivid visual experience, in
fact only about 50% of patients experience visuals. Some people sleep
throughout the duration of the drug’s effects, and others experience
only series of rapid thoughts. It must be kept in mind that the
anti-addictive and withdrawal diminishing properties of ibogaine still
work on these patients. Ibogaine is non-addictive…”

zulu500,

Note the URL below, the information is from the archives of the
“calyx” Ibogaine mailing list, of which I subscribe. I linked you tro
the page to subscribe in my original answer.

Also, of EXTREME importance is this: the standard dose MUST be
adjusted for those that are NOT ADDICTED to opiates.

Information below is from here:
https://lists.calyx.nl/archives/ibogaine/2001-December/000059.html

Treatment Procedure:

Ibogaine treatment lasts anywhere from 24 to 38 hours with an after
treatment recovery of around 6 hours (usually spent asleep.) The
patient will need a place to lie down during treatment.

1. Ibogaine is administered in a 10 mg/kg dose and patient is
monitored for any allergic or otherwise adverse effects until approved
for treatment dose. EKG and heart/breath rates documented.

2. Treatment dose is administered of 20 mg/kg. All vital signs
documented. Wait for patient to enter visualization phase.

[note: this is for the highly refined Ibogaine]

3. Patient, in visualization phase, is counseled by psychiatrist and
drug treatment professional to root out causes of addictive or
self-destructive behavior and call them to the attention of the
patient to enhance and target visualization phase.

4. Monitor patient and document vital signs through the less
communicative peak and after peak phase of treatment.

5. After patient leaves the influence of Ibogaine, conduct post
treatment interview and debriefing.

6. Evaluate treatment and determine if withdrawal and cravings are
stopped, repeat Treatment Procedure in failed cases.

7. Monitor patient for two weeks minimum before release. Facilitate
after care placement and monthly evaluations.

At the same mailing list, this thread was started just a few days ago
(April 16th, 2003) – Please DO check the archives, there’s bound to be
more.

[IBOGAINE] Dosage
https://lists.calyx.nl/archives/ibogaine/2003-April/000638.html
…”— “R.J.” <cpinc@tampabay.rr.com> wrote:
I have some root bark and am interested in taking a
dose that is both safe, and very beneficial. Can I
please get some information on this, as what I have
found so far seems to be inconsistent? Replies sent
directly to my email address are most appreciated…”

Dose for who? For what reason (addiction? for what
drug(s), how much/how long) age, sex, weight… You
can ballpark a “dose” at 25-30 or so gm if it is in
fact quality T. Iboga root bark in a healthy/average
man for a generic reason. That is VERY ROUGH and could
be too much or not enough even if you knew exactly how
strong (quality) it was. 5 gm of root bark (if that is
what it is and it is “quality” root bark) should be
about the same as 1gm of Indra extract, generally
producing a good buzz but not too trippy (usually),
the bulk of it lasting several hours but having effect
over days (maybe). If it is plain not-so-good
root-bark, it could take 3 times that, if it is just
root I don’t know, you tell me how much ibogaine is in
it and I will tell you how much you need. Another
method is to do increasing small amounts (using bark)
but it is not the same as a large one shot nix the
addiction dose. Point being there are a number of
methods for ibogaine administration, some fitting
peoples pocketbooks/abilities and the amount of effort
they can muster. Even small amounts of iboga will
“help” and be beneficial… if you going to give it to
someone kicking cold turkey, any real amount will
“help”. YOU may be ibo insensitive and require more,
you may be ultra-sensitive and require less, your
addiction might be a little stuborn (meth???) and
additional treatment might be required, most people
require more than 1 treatment eventually. Do you have
any medical conditions that require
consideration/adjustment to dosage, did you or are you
going to get the medical testing prior to having
treatment (basically a physical, EKG, blood chemistry
w/liver enzymes). Do you have a qualified sitter who
knows emergency procedures, the set/setting (place),
are going to follow protocol??? This goes a very long
way to having a trip that is “both safe, and very
beneficial”. FYI, there is an ibogaine “manual” on
ibogaine.org (http://ibogaine.org/manual.html). One of
the parts of the procedure is to determine your
response to ibogaine, a “test” dose is usually given.
This is because people have very different reactions
to ibogaine and in this case you don’t even know how
strong the iboga is (yet). You should also enquire
from the person/place you aquired the substance from
about how “good” it is.

There is a lot more to ibogaine treatment than just
taking ibogaine. There is something to the magic of
it, if done right it can be amazingly successful, if
done not so right it can be dangerous, quite
uncomfortable and you might just miss the magic. Best
thing IMO, is to have someone familiar with ibogaine
treat you, if not you should (IMO) go basically from
the start (with a guide/this list), about you and your
reason for wanting ibogaine and the ibo root bark
(???) that you have (you will have to figure out
exactly what it is/how strong it is, if it is… your
reasons for taking it (it ain’t just for
addicts/addictions), what you want to accomplish.
Small changes in procedures can have a profound impact
on the results. For instance, move around and you are
likely to get sick, maybe lose your dose, be very
uncomfortable – this has nothing to do with “dose”.
Having treatment away from home/family members and
with someone experienced with the administration of
ibogaine is better than being there with the bones in
the attic, buttons being pressed, distractions…
Eating (and what) after will have a big impact on how
you feel and recover, fruit, veggies, (REAL
FRUIT)juices, natural foods, taking
supplements/vitamins are great, not eating or eating
junk, will make recovery take longer and effect mood.
The more you do, the more you will get (it can be very
subtle things) – and it is far beyond just the “dose”.

FWIW, I could “dose” on a few mg’s of ibogaine hcl,
that quite “both safe, and very beneficial”, I could
do a hundred or so mg’s of HCL, maybe a gm of Indra
(or two) that is also “both safe and beneficial”, I
could do 5 times that and be “both safe and
beneficial”. Very different doses for very different
reasons (they overlap) which have had different
reactions/outcomes depending on when I did them and
how I did them (or know of people who did that).

Here is one experience with 15 gm of good root bark
(range is usually 2-6% ibogaine but also contains 14
or so other alkaloids that combine for the total
experience). Traditionally, a Bwiti mother would feed
the initiate enough ibogaine till they are there. The
initiate will be quite wobbled (aka knocked on their
ass), their legs pretty much give out. It becomes a
matter of taking enough till it is enough but let me
tell you, it gets harder and harder to swallow as it
sets in, it is way beyond taste.

http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/exp12.htm  …”

Then -this document goes into more detail:

An interview about Ibbogane treatment of addiction, with Eric Taub, by
James Kent
http://tinyurl.com/9tg0

…”How much is an active dose?

It depends on body weight, and on addiction, and the type of
initiatory psycho spiritual experience one wants, but the range is
quite large, from 6.5 mg per kg of body weight to 25 mg to overwhelm a
methadone or heroin habit.

So you are talking about many grams for a single dose?

Well, with body weight, we’re talking about approximately .5 g to 2 g
for addicts , and about 0.5 g to a gram for an initiatory experience.
Women need less because they are more open, so they need to take as
much to have an initiatory experience or to free themselves of a
cocaine habit, Cocaine doesn’t require the overwhelming physical
withdrawal. It’s just addressing mental craving which this does as
well because there is a metabolite which
is introduced when the ibogaine interacts with the biochemistry in the
brain, and receptors are filled up which have to do with craving in
addicts.

But it also fills the receptors of non addicts too, which I believe
has to do our ability to move into a less reactive state when dealing
with certain kinds of patterns, habitual patterns of relationships,
etc.

There is a biochemist I introduced the molecule to, and he said he
fell in love with it, and he compared it to ayahuasca except that
there is an is extra added component, an extra facet to the diamond,
to ibogaine, which I believe is that component which enables people to
retain the information they receive from the experience.

They are continually maintaining their identification with the witness
or with the adult that is reliving the unleashing of repressed
memories or this onslaught of pictorial gestalts and these archetypal
vignettes that energy during the 20 to 30 hours of experiencing a
session with ibogaine.

A third component, a metabolite, is then introduced into the system,
which washes out over a period of weeks and months. With other psycho
actives it seems the experience is over when the psychoactive is
thrown out of the system. With ibogaine, the ibogaine itself is thrown
out of the system faster than an aspirin, but it lingers and creates
these windows, three days, ten days, three months.

Very often I receive calls from people months later telling me, “I
finally got it, I finally understand what that was about, because I’ve
been experiencing more insight as a result of that restructuring of
definition of who I thought I was, and now all my intentions that I
came into the experience with have been worked through and now.”

I’ve even talked with people who have done many psychoactives and have
been very skeptical that anything can linger and create process over a
period of weeks and months who are emphatic about the fact that that
was the case with their experience over the continuing months after
taking ibogaine…”

Please read this next link in it’s entirety (lots of contact
information), although I have given an excerpt below:

Ibogaine: Anti-addictive drug illegal in US
http://www.free-market.net/forums/drugs0009/messages/692987812.html
…”The closest thing to an Ibogaine clinic in the US is an operation
run by Eric Taub. Mr. Taub takes people (from Florida) into
international waters for Ibogaine treatments. He has performed over
300 Ibogaine sessions, charges on a sliding-scale, and has medical
personnel assist with Ibogaine sessions for the addiction interruption
treatments (some who are not addicted use Ibogaine for “spiritual”
purposes). His website is “www.IBEGINAGAIN.org” and he can be emailed
at “IBEGINAGAIN@aol.com”. Emailing him and asking for his phone
number, or leaving yours, is his preferred means of communication. A
new clinic has recently opened in Mexico, reportedly run by an
American MD from Atlanta, which charges $5000/treatment—travel not
included. More information will be available on this clinic in the
future but early reports have had mixed reviews of both its
professionalism and success rate.

Other than that, there are few options for Americans. Some have
Ibogaine sent to friends in Canada or Mexico (there are several
European Ibogaine sources including the Indra Company at
“www.indra.dk” and Marko at “iboga@guest.arnes.si”) and then they
travel to Canada/Mexico for treatment. No European company will ship
to the US no matter how much money is offered or how many times one
asks. The Indra Company sells an Ibogaine extract that is
approximately one-fifth as potent as Ibogaine HCL. Thus, 5 grams of
Indra Ibogaine is equal to 1 gram of Ibogaine HCL. The Indra Ibogaine
is leftover stock from a Danish government experiment years ago–it is
said that the Indra Ibogaine provides a “smoother” trip than what one
gets from using the pure Ibogaine HCL. This is perhaps due to the fact
that the extract contains a full range of alkaloids from the
Tabernantha Iboga plant which some claim make the experience more
“complete.” However, opiate addicts seem to prefer the more potent
Ibogaine HCL due to its greater strength which increases the chances
that most (if not all) of the withdrawal symptoms will be absolved.
Because of the nausea that Ibogaine causes, it is wise to take an
anti-nauseate beforehand such as the OTC motion-sickness medicine
Dramamine, the herb ginger, or the prescription drugs Reglan and
Compazine. Special care should be used when taking Compazine as some
people have a bad reaction to it.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY ADVISED that you do not take Ibogaine alone—you
should also read all you can about it before ingesting it. You will
greatly regret taking it alone as you will find yourself basically
immobilized for approximately 48-72 hours—not to mention the dangers
of asphyxiation or the possibility (albeit remote) that you will need
someone to get medical help if needed…”

Ibogaine Research Update from the Newsletter of the Multidisciplinary
Association for Psychedelic Studies – MAPS – Volume 6 Number 2 Winter
1995-96
http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v06n2/06204ibo.html
Scroll down to: The Phase 1 Safety Study

…”The FDA-approved Phase 1 ibogaine safety study is proceeding very
cautiously. The therapeutic dose of ibogaine is in the range of 15 to
20 mg/kg, yet the FDA has only given permission for the researchers to
administer ibogaine to three subjects at the 1 mg/kg dose level and to
six subjects at each of the four following dose levels; 2 mg/kg, 4
mg/kg, 6 mg/kg, and 8 mg/kg. After the current 2 mg/kg dose level has
been administered to six subjects, the data must be analyzed and
submitted to an external committee for review. After evaluation of all
the available data to assess safety is completed and reviewed by a
team of experts, then the researchers may proceed to the next higher
dose. Once all the data has been gathered from the 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, 4
mg/kg, 6 mg/kg, and 8 mg/kg dose levels, a more comprehensive review
will take place to determine if the research can proceed into the
testing of doses that will approach the therapeutic dose range. All of
these data will be presented to the FDA for the next evaluation prior
to protocol revision.

Only male subjects are being permitted to volunteer for this initial
safety study because of the reported deaths of two women that were
associated with, but perhaps not solely caused by, the administration
of ibogaine outside of hospital settings. While a matter of the utmost
concern, these deaths have not stopped all research with ibogaine
because their causes are uncertain, thousands of people have taken
ibogaine without incident, drug addiction itself is often fatal and
the available treatments for addiction have a relatively low success
rate. The acceptable level of risk for potentially fatal diseases such
as addiction and cancer is higher than that for treatments of diseases
with less severe consequences or more effective treatments. For
example, drugs used for the treatment of cancer can sometimes
themselves be fatal, a situation which occasionally does occur without
causing physicians to abandon the therapeutic uses of these
medications.

According to Howard Lotsof, President of NDA International, both
screening for possible ibogaine sensitivity and an antidote for
idiosyncratic toxicity will most likely be available within six
months. These developments will allow the treatment of female subjects
at full therapeutic doses outside of the United States in NDA’s
ongoing ibogaine treatment program in the Republic of Panama…”

…Once again, this is a subject I adore, if there’s anything else
you’d like me to provide more information and links to, I’d be more
than happy to assist. I wish there was some way we could stay in
touch, I will be very interested in what you decide to do and what
your experience is, but leaving contact information here is a no-no.
…Oh well.

“Ibogaine’s current legal status in the UK, and much of the rest of
the world, is that of an unlicensed, experimental medication, and it
not therefore an offence to possess the drug, though to act as a
distributor may be breaking the law. Ibogaine is a restricted
substance (possession is illegal) in some countries, including the US,
Switzerland, Sweden and Belgium.”

“There is an inherent level of risk with ibogaine treatment. Four
people are known to have died in connection with taking ibogaine or
other iboga products, and there may in truth be many more, given that
ibogaine is frequently administered in surroundings where people may
be reluctant to contact the authorities in the event of something
going wrong.”

“Beware of listening excessively to the advice of just one individual
when deciding whether or not to take ibogaine. Because ibogaine’s
effects can be life-changing, it is common for someone who has had a
very positive experience to do their utmost to ‘spread the message’
about the drug, possibly allowing their enthusiasm to override the
considerable concerns about safety.

– If you are thinking of taking ibogaine for personal development and
haven’t yet been involved in proper therapy, (ie: therapy where
there’s an open or implicit admission by the individual of the
presence of emotional problems), be aware that this may be because
your mind is simply being attracted to a “quick fix” strategy that
avoids really dealing with the underlying issues. If this is the case,
ibogaine could well make things worse.”

A dose-response study of ibogaine-induced neuropathology in the rat
cerebellum.
Xu Z, Chang LW, Slikker W Jr, Ali SF, Rountree RL, Scallet AC.
Department of Pathology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences,
Little Rock, Arkansas 72205, USA.

Ibogaine (IBO) is an indole alkaloid from the West African shrub,
Tabernanthe iboga. It is structurally related to harmaline, and both
these compounds are rigid analogs of melatonin. IBO has both
psychoactive and stimulant properties. In single-blind trials with
humans, it ameliorated withdrawal symptoms and interrupted the
addiction process. However, IBO also produced neurodegeneration of
Purkinje cells and gliosis of Bergmann astrocytes in the cerebella of
rats given even a single dose
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids
=10966515&dopt=Abstract

Purkinje cells = “receive input from three brain cell fiber systems.
One single Purkinje cell, for example, can receive converging input
from over 200,000 other cells. Yet Purkinje cells are the sole output
from the cerebellar cortex…  Any information exiting the cerebellum
to the rest of the brain must go out from Purkinje cells…  Although
many inputs to the Purkinje cell are from excitatory neurons –cells
that fire chemical signals to other cells — the Purkinje itself is an
inhibitory neuron, meaning it selectively suppresses and limits
excitatory impulses. Purkinje cells receive a tremendous amount of
excitation through neurons from the spinal cord, cortex and other
areas. All of these competing “voices” contribute to such a high level
of background activity, the Purkinje cells are thought to sculpt or
compose this “noise” (by virtue of their inhibition) into coherent
“musical phrases” the rest of the brain can clearly understand.”

I would urge extreme caution regarding ibogaine. As is the case with
many powerful hallucinogens, this is a drug whose use may result in am
experience of enlightenment, or may lead to nightmares beyond belief.
To use such a drug without professional guidance is the equivalent of
playing Russian roulette with your mind, body, and spirit.

In the late 1960s I lost a friend to ibogaine. Regardless of the rosy
tales of self-awareness and nirvana which some may recount, when I
think of ibogaine I will always remember my friend crouched in terror
on the floor, trying to scrape the skin off his face with his
fingernails and screaming “The candle’s flame will burn the world! The
candle’s flame will burn the world!”

Actually, there is no need to fear answering this question. Ibogaine
is approved for clinical trials in the United States, there are
several hospitals currently offering trials.

Frankly, I would wonder more about the legal status of DMT:
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/dmt_law.shtml
That question was answered with no such admonishments. No clinical
trials at all. No medical use. Ibogaine is currently being researched
by several prominent Doctors and the medical use is well documented.

From: pinkfreud-ga on 17 Apr 2003 16:45 PDT
Regarding the legal aspects of this question and answer, ibogaine is
classified as a Schedule 1 drug in the United States. This is the same
classification in which such drugs as heroin and LSD fall.

Feds back down in medical pot case
Marijuana-growing supplies to be given back to Aurora man
By Hector Gutierrez, Rocky Mountain News
August 27, 2004
An Aurora man suffering from chronic pain won a major victory Thursday when
the federal government agreed to return all of his marijuana-growing
equipment.
The assistant U.S. attorney also told the lawyer for medical-marijuana user
Dana May that they will not prosecute May for any crime. But the pot that
the Drug Enforcement Administration and Aurora police seized from May’s
Aurora home will stay in the possession of federal authorities.
Supporters of medical marijuana said they believe it marks the first time
that the U.S. attorney has agreed to return growing equipment to someone who
has been cleared of wrongdoing.
“This case is precedent-setting and a very sympathetic case and just a
terrible example of the federal government not recognizing that this is
where the state of the law is going and where patients are going,” Allen St.
Pierre, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said.
May and his lawyer, Robert J. Corry Jr., will appear at a hearing this
morning in Arapahoe County District Court where they will tell the judge
that they will drop their civil lawsuit against the Aurora Police Department
demanding that it return May’s marijuana-producing equipment.
May, 45, said he had feared a long, drawn-out fight with the U.S. attorney’s
office and the DEA.
“I just about fell off my chair when my lawyer told me,” he said. “I thought
he was joking. He said, ‘We got a victory here,’ and ‘They’re going to give
you your stuff back.’ ”
After today’s hearing, May said he plans to notify the DEA that he will pick
up his equipment within 48 hours. Agents had confiscated 31 pieces of
equipment from May’s home, including transformers, water pumps, cloning
machines and exhaust fans that he used to grow marijuana.
He called it a bittersweet victory and complained that anti-drug personnel
should spend their resources and time pursuing cocaine and heroin
traffickers. “They would be better off going that route rather than going
after little pot growers like me,” May said.
May said he will try to resume growing marijuana as soon as possible at an
undisclosed location.
“I think this is a big step because with the DEA giving my equipment back
they know what I’m going to do with it, and it’s like they’re condoning it,”
he said. “There aren’t any options about what I’m going to do with it. I’m
not going to grow tomatoes.”
Jeffrey Dorschner, spokesman for the District of Colorado U.S. attorney,
said federal prosecutors decided not to pursue a civil forfeiture case
against May after concluding that his equipment had minimal value.
May’s doctor signed the legal forms required for May to grow and smoke pot
in 2002. May suffers from chronic pain in his legs and feet as a result of a
1995 accident.

Helloooo!

I feel like I must defend the ‘opiate detox’ website as I’ve been there a while and I’ve found real help and inspiration there in my darkest days!  Its just that its grown SO much in the last few months that its very different now-not so personal.  Every day theres new faces!  There used to be a new thread every so often and now there’s a whole page of new ones daily!  Its hard to keep track!  I have met some amazing people there who have really helped me and have made some good friends.  I spose its helping more and more people which can only be a good thing!  Its definately not got the same attitude as this ‘place’ but its there for a purpose (opiate detox) and has to keep alot of people happy-bit like NA?  Take what you need and leave the rest? That’s what I do.  At least Ibogaine is mentioned!  And there’s a couple of people (one of whoms you Shell ;-)) who have done it so theres info there if people are interested.  Hell…as long as they’re helping people!

But I agree, I feel much more at home here!  I didn’t feel like I could ever say “actually I quite like H” there or “if H hadn’t been there for me maybe I’d have killed myself so maybe its a good thing” and I felt sometimes that it was getting cliquey or bitchy.  Too judgemental sometimes.

Anyway, we’re here now so let’s enjoy…..

Me?  I’m on Subutex but have still been dabbling-the appeal of snowballs was too much for a while but now I’m back on best behaviour!  I’m very interested in Ibogaine but don’t know when I’ll have the cash.  I have no one around me who knows anything about it.  I’ve told people but its like a myth to them.  I wish I could do it and SHOW them all its power!  I’ve tried to get my boyf to read info on it but with bills to pay etc its not a priority for him.  Then again he always said he be willing to pay anything he could afford to see me free of this addiction….

Sorry I’m rambling again!
I’d just like to add that I’m thinking of you Preston, Marc and Sean-way to go, lead the way boys!  Sean I don’t spose you’re off that website too?  Anyway,thanks for letting us in on these amazing events, love to you all,

Hannah 🙂

Hi Loop, Shelley,
It’s great to run into both of you again; this is “Fluffy” from “Opiate Detox” site.  I haven’t been there for a while though.  I’ve been focusing on getting as much info on Ibogaine as I can find.
I just started the Suboxone again, a few days ago, so I’m too week to type much; it doesn’t do much for me, but it’s better than nothing.
My quest for Ibogaine/Iboga continues; Suboxone doesn’t have a good record with me ; = (
Take care,

Hi Shelley!

I wondered if you were the same Shelley-I use the ‘opiate detox’ website too.  I was probably who you were referring to when you said about the ADs.  I was told by an experienced sitter:

“you would have to wean off the
antidepressants. You MUST NOT be on any medication when you take the
ibogaine. ”

And they also said this about Ibogaine and Subutex:

“Subutex has a half life of between 30 and 60 hours which means your best bet
is to switch from subutex to a shorter acting opiate four or five days
before taking the ibogaine. You mustn’t have any subutex after sixty hours
before treatment ie there has to be sixty hours between last hit of subutex
and ibogaine. Obviously you may feel the withdrawals which makes it safer to
quit subutex five days prior and switch to something else to stabilise. This
is also very important as subutex and ibogaine can be very dangerous.”

I just hope they don’t mind me posting this!  I just wanted to help-I find these confusing yet very important questions to ask!
LOL Hannah (Loop)

Thanks Brad. I too know that feeling of being on meth and feeling (almost) normal and actually I was thinking back last night on my life on methadone and remembered that when I got on my first program I needed to have a special letter from the state approving the treatment because I was only 16 so I’ve been struggling with this for as long as I can remember. That first period on meth was joke and I I just ended up shooting more dope and coke but the second time around maybe 4 years later for me was very different I was tired and I really wanted to stop and I do admit it did the trick for a while. I went back to school and got my shit together but as I look back on it now it was a lie and that (almost normal) feeling eventually brought me right back out because as we both know being on a meth program eventually makes you feel just about the furthest thing from normal especially if you’ve been able to put your life together in o ther areas. Well that was my experience anyway. Good luck and thank you again and be in touch any time.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

No,
Thank You Hattie.
But I want to say publicly that of the three of us here in NYC who’ve
recently taken ibogaine, Sean is most impressive to me, in that he’s older
and I imagine even more used to, or set, in his using patterns- so his
breaking them, while staying at his parents and doing it in his parents’
presense no less, impresses the hell outta me. He just seems to be moving
steadily forward, and I’m very much enjoying watching/reading about it, or
at least, he’s inspiring me even when I don’t pay that close of attention.
(I get selfish and pay a lot of attention to myself and my own issues and
troubles actually, which sometimes leaves me feeling guilty, which I think
is probably pretty silly but still- and it’s a major reason why I don’t want
to undergo group therapy, because I don’t always want to deal with other
people’s shit, although I am going today mainly because I want to meet Sean
face to face).
On a slightly related note- I’ve been noticing that I’m really feeling
very blue today, not so happy at all and actually very depressed. I’m not
sure why. I think it’s partly due to the reaction I had from someone towards
me yesterday, someone who in any other situation would have had my utmost
respect and props, and did have it until I got his attitude, (which to be
very honest coulda just been me being paranoid too, which leaves me feeling
even worse about it) – V pointed out to me this morning that she suspects
that because I want everyone to like me, or at least get along with me, and
do tend to usually get very positive feedback from people, that when I do
come across someone who either blows me off or disrespects me, or whatever
unpositive thing I feel/think they Might be doing/acting towards me really
affects me, me being a sensitive type and all.
She may have a good point- I’m not sure. I’m going to be very
disappointed in myself if this is really the case and that’s the cause of my
blue feelings. Then again, it may be better to actually have an explaination
for it, no matter how stupid or silly, rather than continue to think that
I’m feeling like shit for no reason at all.
So I guess the Golden Time is wearing off already, and now I’m dealing
with life on its own terms again- ick. (I do still get the occasional flash
of trails and gittery vision, as late as last night I was noticing ibo
effects, but they aren’t seemingly doing anything to my mood in a good, or
at least, happyfying way.)
Peace and love to all,
Preston

I thought that was the Catholic religion.    Committing sins and then confessing and having it all absolved to repeat the process.  Or am I being cynical.  Pardon me if this upsets anyone, its just my personal opinion.  Allison  Other than that I always thought the whole idea of christian religion should be to be kind, caring and considerate to others.  Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.  That makes sense to me but not a lot of the other bullshit that gets touted.
Has anyone else out there read of the Church group in NZ protesting new govt legislation for rights for same sex couples.  They recently protested all wearing black t-shirts, arms raised as in a salute gesture, marching in step and brought a large amount of children with them all dressed the same and following the adults steps.  I found it all a bit scary & threatening.  And then people reckon drug addicts are a problem.  Perhaps they should look around a bit more at some of the other self called “good citizens” out there with all their prejudices.  Sorry, will step off my soap box now.

You know of course that we white people (speaking for myself of course,

Christians, you know, to believe in something rational and tangible- an old
guy with a beard sitting in final judgement, sending his son to die for all
the rest of us so we can sin then say “sorry, I’m bad please forgive” and go
on sinning. Yeah, that sounds rational. I can dig it.

I can’t remember what day  for me it is anymore so no more of that day 29 day 30 shit.  All I do know is this has been the longest time I’ve not been under the influence of dope in one form or another. I quit smoking on Tuesday and believe it or not I’m finding its harder to stop somking that it is for me to not shoot dope, a lot harder. But I think one of the gifts I got from my ibogaine experience was the ability to exert some kind of impulse control, something I could never do in the past, which has made it a million times easier. This feeling of not wanting to harm my body anymore is just so different than anything I’ve ever felt before. I see myself getting stronger and looking better everyday and the motivation I get from that is tremendous. So much more profound than the illusion of dope.  A REAL warmth.

Callie, You have once again very eloquently said what I needed to read this morning. I’m glad you have been in the rooms like me ’cause you can cut to the chase pretty quickly, and I understand just where you are coming from. When you were talking about self will run riot you hit me right on the head with it. I haven’t been to a meeting in about 6 months and my will has been driving me crazy. I, like you, have to wait my turn for the treatment because my family is footing the bill amongst other reasons and I “aint”a good one to wait. Although I remember one night in Erie Pa. waiting in a blizzard for the dope man. I had to keep cleaning off the headlights so he could see me when he got there. I think I saw about a foot of snow fall waiting for that guy. He finally made it too. But I digress. Thanx for your post and for being the fine southern lady that you are. Our time will come, and I’ve got a feeling its going to be monumental.        Randy

He is really a great guy, and I think that ongoing treatments in the US is a great goal.
I wouln’d mind a second treatment myself in about six months.  Good to know this may be possible.

Preston,

From your interview. http://www.drugwar.com/ibonyc.shtm

FM- My initial idea was to establish a base of operations in Harlem.

P- Why Harlem?

FM- To make ibogaine available to the descendents whose ancestors came
from
where this plant originates.

P- How do you advertise the treatments, since they’re highly illegal?

FM- We began by distributing approximately 150 brochures in front of
methadone clinics in Harlem.

P- When was that?

FM- Early July. That was the start.
**********

So is there any interest from the African American community? Have any
African Americans been treated with ibogaine for chemical dependence
during these
operations?  What are they saying and how do they feel about it?  Fifteen
or
twenty years ago Dana and I met with some people in Harlem and offered
free
treatments but, received no interest.  The answer we received was that it
would be
too easy that way.

Dear Howard and list,
I am just so f’ing confused,I have read the sites and looked at the
providers world wide
and also have had feedback from people on the list(many thanks),however I
still don’t know wich way to turn.
Where to go to recieve this treatment,finding the best type of situation.I
have contacted the good doctor
in France and heard of others in the UK and of course all the providers on
the list of providers that was given to me
by Howard.I feel I would need a clinical situation.where ever I go I can
stay for as long as necessary.I am afraid to go
somewhere for only a few days or a week,in case this is not enough and I
have to go back.I can only go once
but I can stay in that country for 6 weeks if necessary.f……….k. I
really am so confused,and I must say a little scared.

To do the treatment in a hotel room does not sound like the best situatiuon
to me,but unfortunatley with our
governments being so pig headed concerning Ibogaine,in some places we have
to go underground,hence motel rooms.

I understand Sara does it at her home,which sounds like a more holistic
approach.In Mexico they have a clinic,this also sounds good,
the panamas,..well this sounds ideal,..but then of course, the cost of the
panamas makes it out of reach for most of us.

I have booked into the doc’s to get an EKG and blood test.I suppose this is
the first move.
Can one fly straight to Mexico,do they have an international airport?The
reason I ask is that because of a minor
drug charge(pot) 12 years ago,I might not be able to get a visa to get into
the states.

Frustrated. Jasen (Aus)

Hey Preston,

You and Marc posting has really helped me stay on the right path.  Thanks for being so honest about everything with the group.  Self honesty is key to self understanding, I believe.  And some courage.  And anyone who doses twice in the same month sure has balls IMO.:)

Changes in diet are not uncommon after Ibogaine.  Follow your intuition
about
any future dosing.  Rest and regain your strength.  Did you stop eating meat
or were you a vegetarian before Ibogaine?<

I am finding I have a real aversion to meat nowadays. Granted I live with a
strict vegan, and I haven’t given up milk or other dairy products (although
I’ve only tried to eat one bowl of icecream only to toss it almost all out-
reminds me too much of pre-ibo and how that almost ALL I was eating, ice
cream I mean), but I have found my eating habits drastically altered. As
noted, I’m doing a lot more fruit, and eating more meals nowadays. I am
actually waiting for some vegan food to be delivered right now. I am
starving I feel like- and it used to be I was very, very good at ignoring
that “god I’m so hungry I’m gonna collapse if I don’t eat even some bread
crumbs soon” feeling and treating it like just another buzz. Now I find that
not only can I not do that so well, I don’t even want to.
In terms of sleep, I guess I’m sleeping about the same amounts post ibo
as I was pre-ibo (not counting the nodding off I was doing a lot of) but
find I do get out and about town as often as possible to really wear myself
out physically so I do fall asleep easily. And I think I must be gaining at
least a couple of pounds, although I’m still very thin and lean.
Peace and love,
Preston (and to those who went to that group meet today, I apologize for not
showing up- someone called me twice today to inform me that there weren’t
enough people to warrent a group meet this afternoon, so I decided to take a
nap, and then woke to find a note in front of me saying that there was going
to be a men and women’s group meeting after all, but I woke up at 4:28 and
the meet was to start at 4:30. Soooo, I missed it. Sorry Sean, I’m sure
we’ll meet each other next time or at least, sooner than later.)

Ibogaine?

any
chemical dependence have their sleep cycles cut down for a month or so
after
Ibogaine.  Normal sleep patterns come back slowly. Are you taking
vitamins?  Setting
aside the issue that you did not stop methadone completely you seem quite
sensitive to ibogaine.  That is something you should consider if you do
try
Ibogaine again.

I was decreasing 2mg every 2 weeks for 3 or 4 months but got to feeling grouchy and anxious so I have temporarily stopped. I am also sticking back at least 50 bucks a paycheck to hopefully pay for treatment in a clinical setting.
I would love to hurry and start my journey but it is impossible at this time.. I am trying to control my “self will run riot” and sit tight and wait my turn.
I am a believer that things happen as they should as long as I do the next right thing and keep my ‘bright ideas’ or will out of it.

well,
You know of course that we white people (speaking for myself of course,
being pale peachish-tanned slightlybrown colored anyway) are supposed to be
Christians, you know, to believe in something rational and tangible- an old
guy with a beard sitting in final judgement, sending his son to die for all
the rest of us so we can sin then say “sorry, I’m bad please forgive” and go
on sinning. Yeah, that sounds rational. I can dig it.
All that silly “I’m at one with the whole entire cosmos” thing I feel
while on many psychedelics, nope, that’s not for we whitey types at all.
It’s too craaaaazy and all.

In 1964, a monumental case concerning Indian religion occurred in
California. On April 28, 1962, a group of Navajos met in Needles to
perform a religious ceremony in which peyote was used. Peyote is a
drug derived from the buttons of the mescal cactus. The Indians were
arrested and tried for violating the law which prohibited
unauthorized possession of the drug. Judge Mathew 0. Tobriner of the
California Supreme Court issued the court’s decision, In responding
to a lower court’s verdict, Tobriner wrote, “The court ruled to deny
Indian use of peyote was a violation of their religious freedom. ‘We
preserve a greater value than an ancient tradition when we protect
the rights of the Indian who honestly practices an old
religion. . . .’ ” (35 CAL Reporter, 1964:708) At this point, public
consciousness began to recognize Indian religion and the value it
had to the Indian people.

People v. Woody (1964)

61 Cal.2d 716 , 35 Cal Reporter 708

Indians may eat Peyote; I may eat LSD!

[Crim. No. 7788. In Bank. Aug. 24, 1964.]

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JACK WOODY et al.,
Defendants and Appellants.

COUNSEL : Rufus W. Johnson for Defendants and Appellants. [61 Cal.2d
717]

Mitchel J. Ezer, A. L. Wirin and Fred Okrand as Amici Curiae on
behalf of Defendants and Appellants.

Stanley Mosk, Attorney General, William E. James, Assistant Attorney
General, and Jack K. Weber, Deputy Attorney General, for Plaintiff
and Respondent.

OPINION TOBRINER, J.

On April 28, 1962, a group of Navajos met in an Indian hogan in the
desert near Needles, California, to perform a religious ceremony
which included the use of peyote.police officers, who had observed
part of the ceremony, arrested defendants, who were among the
Indians present. Defendants were later convicted of violating
section 11500 of the Health and Safety Code, which prohibits the
unauthorized possession of peyote. We have concluded that since the
defendants used the peyote in a bona fide pursuit of a religious
faith, and since the practice does not frustrate a compelling
interest of the state, the application of the statute improperly
defeated the immunity of the First Amendment of the Constitution of
the United States.

When the police entered the hogan and charged the participants with
the use of peyote, one of the Indians handed the officers a gold-
colored portrait frame containing a photostatic copy of the articles
of incorporation of the Native American Church of the State of
California. The articles declared: “That we as a people place
explicit faith and hope and belief in the Almighty God and declare
full, competent, and everlasting faith in our Church things which
and by which we worship God. That we further pledge ourselves to
work for unity with the sacramental use of peyote and its religious
use.”

The state stipulated at trial that at the time of the arrest
defendants and the other Indians were performing a religious
ceremony which involved the use of peyote. Defendants pleaded not
guilty to the crime of illegal possession of narcotics, contending
that their possession of peyote was incident to the observance of
their faith and that the state could not constitutionally invoke the
statute against them without abridging their right to the free
exercise of their religion. The trial proceeded without a jury; the
court held defendants guilty and imposed suspended sentences.
Defendants’ defense, if any, must lie in their constitutional
objection. [1] We do not doubt that even though technically peyote
is an “hallucinogen” rather than a narcotic, the state, pursuant to
the police power, may proscribe its [61 Cal.2d 718] use. (Reetz v.
Michigan (1903) 188 U.S. 505 [23 S.Ct. 390, 47 L.Ed. 563]; Sandelin
v. Collins (1934) 1 Cal.2d 147 [33 P.2d 1009, 93 A.L.R. 956].) Only
if the application of the proscription improperly infringes upon the
immunity of the First Amendment can defendants prevail; their case
rests upon that amendment, which is operative upon the states by
means of the Fourteenth Amendment (Cantwell v. Connecticut (1940)
310 U.S. 296 [60 S.Ct. 900, 84 L.Ed. 1213, 128 A.L.R. 1352]). The
First Amendment reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof. …” fn. 1

[2] Although the prohibition against infringement of religious
belief is absolute, the immunity afforded religious practices by the
First Amendment is not so rigid. (Sherbert v. Verner (1963) 374 U.S.
398, 403 [83 S.Ct. 1790, 10 L.Ed.2d 965]; In re Jenison (1963) 375
U.S. 14 [84 S.Ct. 63, 11 L.Ed.2d 39]; West Virginia State Board of
Education v. Barnette (1942) 319 U.S. 624 [63 S.Ct. 1178, 87 L.Ed.
1628, 147 A.L.R. 674]; Braunfeld v. Brown (1960) 366 U.S. 599 [81
S.Ct. 1144, 6 L.Ed.2d 563]; Cantwell v. Connecticut, supra, 310 U.S.
296; Reynolds v. United States (1878) 98 U.S. 145 [25 L.Ed. 244].)
But the state may abridge religious practices only upon a
demonstration that some compelling state interest outweighs the
defendants’ interests in religious freedom. (Sherbert v. Verner,
supra, 374 U.S. 398, 406; In re Jenison, supra, 375 U.S. 14;
Braunfeld v. Brown, supra, 366 U.S. 599, 613-614; Cantwell v.
Connecticut, supra, 310 U.S. 296, 311; West Virginia State Board of
Education v. Barnette, supra, 319 U.S. 624, 643-644.)

The Supreme Court of the United States recently in Sherbert v.
Verner, supra, restated the rule. In Sherbert a South Carolina
employer discharged appellant, a Seventh-day Adventist, because she
refused to work on Saturdays. Since her “conscientious scruples”
against Saturday work precluded her from obtaining other employment,
appellant applied for unemployment compensation benefits. The South
Carolina Employment Security Commission rejected appellant’s claim
[61 Cal.2d 719] upon the ground that she had “… failed, without
good cause … to accept available suitable work. …” The South
Carolina courts affirmed the commission’s ruling despite appellant’s
contention that application of the disqualifying provision of the
statute abridged her right to the free exercise of her religion.

The United States Supreme Court reversed, finding, first, that the
denial of compensation benefits clearly constituted a burden upon
the free exercise of appellant’s religion. The court then stated
that it must “… consider whether some compelling state interest
enforced in the eligibility provisions of the South Carolina statute
justifies the substantial infringement of appellant’s First
Amendment right. It is basic that no showing merely of a rational
relationship to some colorable state interest would suffice; in this
highly sensitive constitutional area, ‘[o]nly the gravest abuses,
endangering paramount interests, give occasion for permissible
limitation. [Citation.]’ ” (P. 406.)

Despite the plea by South Carolina that fraudulent religious
objections to Saturday work would dilute the state compensation fund
and interfere with employers’ scheduling of necessary Saturday work,
the court held that “no such abuse or danger has been advanced in
the present case” which would justify the abridgement of appellant’s
religious freedom.

The court in Sherbert thus utilized a twofold analysis which calls
for a determination of, first, whether the application of the
statute imposes any burden upon the free exercise of the defendant’s
religion, and second, if it does, whether some compelling state
interest justifies the infringement. fn. 2

[3a] The first step requires an exploration into the particulars of
this case to determine whether section 11500 of [61 Cal.2d 720] the
Health and Safety Code imposes any burden upon the free exercise of
defendants’ religion. An examination of the record as to the nature
of peyote and its role in the religion practiced by defendants as
members of the Native American Church of California compels the
conclusion that the statutory prohibition most seriously infringes
upon the observance of the religion.

The plant Lophophora williamsii, a small, spineless cactus, found in
the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and northern Mexico, produces peyote,
which grows in small buttons on the top of the cactus.peyote’s
principal constituent is mescaline. When taken internally by chewing
the buttons or drinking a derivative tea, peyote produces several
types of hallucinations, depending primarily upon the user. In most
subjects it causes extraordinary vision marked by bright and
kaleidoscopic colors, geometric patterns, or scenes involving humans
or animals. In others it engenders hallucinatory symptoms similar to
those produced in cases of schizophrenia, dementia praecox, or
paranoia. Beyond its hallucinatory effect, peyote renders for most
users a heightened sense of comprehension; it fosters a feeling of
friendliness toward other persons.

Peyote, as we shall see, plays a central role in the ceremony and
practice of the Native American Church, a religious organization of
Indians. Although the church claims no official prerequisites to
membership, no written membership rolls, and no recorded theology,
estimates of its membership range from 30,000 to 250,000, the wide
variance deriving from differing definitions of a “member.” As the
anthropologists have ascertained through conversations with members,
the theology of the church combines certain Christian teachings with
the belief that peyote embodies the Holy Spirit and that those who
partake of peyote enter into direct contact with God.

Peyotism discloses a long history. A reference to the religious use
of peyote in Mexico appears in Spanish historical sources as early
as 1560. Peyotism spread from Mexico to the United States and
Canada; American anthropologists describe it as well established in
this country during the latter part of the nineteenth century.
Today, Indians of many tribes practice Peyotism. Despite the absence
of recorded dogma, the several tribes follow surprisingly similar
ritual and theology; the practices of Navajo members in Arizona
practically parallel those of adherents in California, Montana,
Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Saskatchewan.

The “meeting,” a ceremony marked by the sacramental use of peyote,
composes the cornerstone of the peyote religion. [61 Cal.2d 721] The
meeting convenes in an enclosure and continues from sundown Saturday
to sunrise Sunday. To give thanks for the past good fortune or find
guidance for future conduct, a member will “sponsor” a meeting and
supply to those who attend both the peyote and the next morning’s
breakfast. The “sponsor,” usually but not always the “leader,” takes
charge of the meeting; he decides the order of events and the amount
of peyote to be consumed. Although the individual leader exercises
an absolute control of the meeting, anthropologists report a
striking uniformity of its ritual.

A meeting connotes a solemn and special occasion. Whole families
attend together, although children and young women participate only
by their presence. Adherents don their finest clothing, usually
suits for men and fancy dresses for the women, but sometimes
ceremonial Indian costumes. At the meeting the members pray, sing,
and make ritual use of drum, fan, eagle bone, whistle, rattle and
prayer cigarette, the symbolic emblems of their faith. The central
event, of course, consists of the use of peyote in quantities
sufficient to produce an hallucinatory state.

At an early but fixed stage in the ritual the members pass around a
ceremonial bag of peyote buttons. Each adult may take four, the
customary number, or take none. The participants chew the buttons,
usually with some difficulty because of extreme bitterness; later,
at a set time in the ceremony any member may ask for more peyote;
occasionally a member may take as many as four more buttons. At
sunrise on Sunday the ritual ends; after a brief outdoor prayer, the
host and his family serve breakfast. Then the members depart. By
morning the effects of the peyote disappear; the users suffer no
aftereffects.

Although peyote serves as a sacramental symbol similar to bread and
wine in certain Christian churches, it is more than a
sacrament.peyote constitutes in itself an object of worship; prayers
are directed to it much as prayers are devoted to the Holy Ghost. On
the other hand, to use peyote for nonreligious purposes is
sacrilegious. Members of the church regard peyote also as
a “teacher” because it induces a feeling of brotherhood with other
members; indeed, it enables the participant to experience the Deity.
Finally, devotees treat peyote as a “protector.” Much as a Catholic
carries his medallion, an Indian G.I. often wears around his neck a
beautifully beaded pouch containing one large peyote button. fn. 3
[61 Cal.2d 722]

The record thus establishes that the application of the statutory
prohibition of the use of peyote results in a virtual inhibition of
the practice of defendants’ religion. To forbid the use of peyote is
to remove the theological heart of Peyotism. Having reached this
conclusion, we must undertake the second step in the analysis of the
constitutional issue: a determination of whether the state has
demonstrated that “compelling state interest” which necessitates an
abridgement of defendants’ First Amendment right. (Sherbert v.
Verner, supra, 374 U.S. 398, 406; see West Virginia State Board of
Education v. Barnette, supra, 319 U.S. 624, 643-644; National Assn.
for Advancement of Colored People v. Button, supra, 371 U.S. 415,
438; American Civil Liberties Union v. Board of Education, supra, 55
Cal.2d 167 , 178.)

The state asserts that the compelling reason for the prohibition of
Peyotism lies in its deleterious effects upon the Indian community,
and even more basically, in the infringement such practice would
place upon the enforcement of the narcotic laws because of the
difficulty of detecting fraudulent claims of an asserted religious
use of peyote. The prosecution further claims that the cases support
these positions. We set forth the reasons why we believe the
contentions to be unfounded.

The People urge that “the use of peyote by Indians in place of
medical care, the threat of indoctrination of small children,” and
the “possible correlation between the use of this drug and the
possible propensity to use some other more harmful drug” justify the
statutory prohibition. The record, however, does not support the
state’s chronicle of harmful consequences of the use of peyote.

The evidence indicates that the Indians do not in fact employ peyote
in place of proper medical care; and, as the Attorney General with
fair objectivity admits, “there was no evidence to suggest that
Indians who use peyote are more liable to become addicted to other
narcotics than non-peyote- using Indians.” Nor does the record
substantiate the state’s fear of the “indoctrination of small
children”; it shows that Indian children never, and Indian teenagers
rarely, use peyote. Finally, as the Attorney General likewise
admits, the opinion [61 Cal.2d 723] of scientists and other experts
is “that peyote … works no permanent deleterious injury to the
Indian. …” Indeed, as we have noted, these experts regard the
moral standards of members of the Native American Church as higher
than those of Indians outside the church.

The Attorney General also argues that since “peyote could be
regarded as a symbol, one that obstructs enlightenment and shackles
the Indian to primitive conditions” the responsibility rests with
the state to eliminate its use. We know of no doctrine that the
state, in its asserted omniscience, should undertake to deny to
defendants the observance of their religion in order to free them
from the suppositious “shackles” of their “unenlightened”
and “primitive condition.”

Turning to the state’s second contention, that the threat of
fraudulent assertions of religious immunity will render impossible
the effective enforcement of the narcotic laws, we note that South
Carolina in Sherbert v. Verner, supra, unsuccessfully urged to the
United States Supreme Court a substantially similar contention. It
argued that “a possibility that the filing of fraudulent claims by
unscrupulous claimants feigning religious objections to Saturday
work might … dilute the unemployment compensation fund … [and]
hinder the scheduling by employers of necessary Saturday work.” (374
U.S. at p. 407.) The Supreme Court held among its alternate grounds
for disposing of this contention, that “there is no proof whatever
to warrant such fears of malingering or deceit as those which the
respondents now advance.” (Id at p. 407.) Further, the court pointed
out that “even if the possibility of spurious claims did threaten to
dilute the fund and disrupt the scheduling of work, it would plainly
be incumbent upon the [state] to demonstrate that no alternative
forms of regulation would combat such abuses without infringing
First Amendment rights.” (Id at p. 407.) In the instant case, as in
Sherbert, the state produced no evidence that spurious claims of
religious immunity would in fact preclude effective administration
of the law or that other “forms of regulation” would not accomplish
the state’s objectives.

That other states have excepted from the narcotic laws the use of
peyote, and have not considered such exemption an impairment to
enforcement, weakens the prosecution’s forebodings. New Mexico in
1959, and Montana in 1957, amended their narcotics laws to provide
that the prohibition against narcotics “shall not apply to the
possession, sale or gift of peyote for religious sacramental
purposes by any bona fide [61 Cal.2d 724] religious organization
incorporated under the laws of the state.” fn. 4 Arizona has reached
a similar result by judicial decree. fn. 5

That the state’s showing of “compelling interest” cannot lie in
untested assertions that recognition of the religious immunity will
interfere with the enforcement of the state statute, finds
illustrated in the Minnesota litigation culminating in In re Jenison
(1963) 267 Minn. 136 [125 N.W.2d 588]. In the original Jenison case,
the Minnesota Supreme Court, prior to the decision in Sherbert v.
Verner, affirmed the criminal contempt conviction of a woman who
refused to serve on a jury because of religious objections. (In re
Jenison (1963) 265 Minn. 96 [120 N.W.2d 515].) The United States
Supreme Court reversed per curiam and remanded the case to the
Minnesota Supreme Court “for further consideration in light of
Sherbert v. Verner. …” (In re Jenison (1963) 375 U.S. 14 [84 S.Ct.
63, 11 L.Ed.2d 39].) Upon remand the state court reversed the
conviction, stating that “there has been an inadequate showing that
the state’s interest in obtaining competent jurors requires us to
override relator’s right to the free exercise of her religion.
Consequently we hold that until and unless further experience
indicates that the indiscriminate invoking of the First Amendment
poses a serious threat to the effective functioning of our jury
system, any person whose religious convictions prohibit compulsory
jury duty shall henceforth be exempt.” (Id at p. 589.)

We turn to the several cases cited by the Attorney General which
uphold statutes restricting religious practices. The People
principally rely upon Reynolds v. United States (1878) 98 U.S. 145
[25 L.Ed. 244], which ruled that Congress could constitutionally
apply to Mormons a prohibition against polygamy. The Mormon doctrine
of polygamy rested in alleged divine origin and imposed upon male
members, circumstances permitting, the observance of the practice
upon pain of eternal damnation.

The Supreme Court held that the history of the laws against polygamy
showed that the condemnation of the practice was a matter of the
gravest social importance. It found in polygamy [61 Cal.2d 725] the
seed of destruction of a democratic society. fn. 6 Viewing the
practice as highly injurious to its female adherents, the court
classed polygamy with such religious rites as sacrifice of human
beings and funeral immolation of widows.

Reynolds v. United States must be distinguished from the instant
case for two fundamental reasons. The test of constitutionality
calls for an examination of the degree of abridgment of religious
freedom involved in each case.polygamy, although a basic tenet in
the theology of Mormonism, is not essential to the practice of the
religion; peyote, on the other hand, is the sine qua non of
defendants’ faith. It is the sole means by which defendants are able
to experience their religion; without peyote defendants cannot
practice their faith. Second, the degree of danger to state
interests in Reynolds far exceeded that in the instant case. The
court in Reynolds considered polygamy as a serious threat to
democratic institutions and injurious to the morals and well-being
of its practitioners. As we have heretofore indicated, no such
compelling state interest supports the prohibition of the use of
peyote.

Similarly, Braunfeld v. Brown (1960) 366 U.S. 599 [81 S.Ct. 1144, 6
L.Ed.2d 563] cited by the People, upholding the Pennsylvania Sunday
Law against a free exercise objection by Sabbatarians, differs from
the present case. Braunfeld represents only an “incidental” fn. 7
infringement of religious freedom contrasted with “a strong state
interest in providing one uniform day of rest for all workers. That
secular objective could be achieved … only by declaring Sunday to
be that day of rest. Requiring exemptions for Sabbatarians, [61
Cal.2d 726] while theoretically possible, appeared to present an
administrative problem of such magnitude … that such a requirement
would have rendered the entire statutory scheme unworkable.”
(Sherbert v. Verner (1963) 374 U.S. 398, 408, 409 [83 S.Ct. 1790, 10
L.Ed.2d 965].) fn. 8

[4] Finally, we deal with the Attorney General’s argument that our
present conclusion requires an inquiry in each case into the bona
fides of a particular defendant’s beliefs, an inquiry which is both
difficult and “repugnant to the spirit of our law. …” Yet the
trier of fact need inquire only into the question of whether the
defendant’s belief in Peyotism is honest and in good faith. As the
court in United States v. Ballard (1944) 322 U.S. 78 [64 S.Ct. 882,
88 L.Ed. 1148], held, although judicial examination of the truth or
validity of religious beliefs is foreclosed by the First Amendment,
the courts of necessity must ask whether the claimant holds his
belief honestly and in good faith or whether he seeks to wear the
mantle of religious immunity merely as a cloak for illegal
activities.

In so doing, we impose no undue burden upon the trier of fact. We do
not doubt the capacity of judge and jury to distinguish between
those who would feign faith in an esoteric religion and those who
would honestly follow it. “Suffice it to say that trial courts will
have to determine in each instance, with whatever evidence is at
hand, whether or not the assertion of a belief which is protected by
the First Amendment is in fact a spurious claim.” (In re Jenison,
supra, 125 N.W.2d 588, 590; italics added.) Thus the court makes a
factual examination of the bona fides of the belief and does not
intrude into the religious issue at all; it does not determine the
nature of the belief but the nature of defendants’ adherence to it.

Courts reach such factual determinations in a host of related
circumstances. Thus the Universal Military Training and Service Act
(1948) 50 U.S.C.App., section 456(j), exempts from combat training
and service any person “who, by reason of religious training and
belief, is conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any
form.” (See, e.g., Rempel v. United States (10th Cir. 1955) 220 F.2d
949, 951; [61 Cal.2d 727] United States v. Hagaman (3rd Cir. 1954)
213 F.2d 86, 89; In re Jost (1953) 117 Cal.App.2d 379 , 387 [256
P.2d 71], revd. 347 U.S. 901 [74 S.Ct. 427, 98 L.Ed. 1061] [applying
conscientious objector provision in Internal Security Act of 1950, 8
U.S.C.Supp. IV, 735].) Significantly, title II, section 3, of the
National Prohibition Act (1919) 41 Stat. 308-309, exempted from
prohibition the use of wine for sacramental purposes.

In the instant case, of course, we encounter no problem as to the
bona fide nature of defendants’ assertion of the free exercise
clause. The state agrees, and the evidence amply demonstrates, that
defendants’ use of peyote was for a religious purpose. fn. 9

[3b] We have weighed the competing values represented in this case
on the symbolic scale of constitutionality. On the one side we have
placed the weight of freedom of religion as protected by the First
Amendment; on the other, the weight of the state’s “compelling
interest.” Since the use of peyote incorporates the essence of the
religious expression, the first weight is heavy. Yet the use of
peyote presents only slight danger to the state and to the
enforcement of its laws; the second weight is relatively light. The
scale tips in favor of the constitutional protection.

We know that some will urge that it is more important to subserve
the rigorous enforcement of the narcotic laws than to carve out of
them an exception for a few believers in a strange faith. They will
say that the exception may produce problems of enforcement and that
the dictate of the state must overcome the beliefs of a minority of
Indians. But the problems of enforcement here do not inherently
differ from those of other situations which call for the detection
of fraud. On the other hand, the right to free religious expression
embodies a precious heritage of our history. In a mass society,
which presses at every point toward conformity, the protection of a
self-expression, however unique, of the individual and the group
becomes ever more important. The varying currents of the subcultures
that flow into the mainstream of our national life give it depth and
beauty. We preserve a greater value than an ancient tradition when
we protect the rights of the Indians who honestly practiced an old
religion [61 Cal.2d 728] in using peyote one night at a meeting in a
desert hogan near Needles, California.

The judgment is reversed.

Gibson, C. J., Traynor, J., Schauer, J., Peters, J., and Peek, J.,
concurred.

McComb, J., dissented.

FN 1. Defendants also rely upon Cal. Const., art. I, section 4,
which provides: “The free exercise and enjoyment of religious
profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall
forever be guaranteed in this State; and no person shall be rendered
incompetent to be a witness or juror on account of his opinions on
matters of religious belief; but the liberty of conscience hereby
secured shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of
licentiousness, or justify practices inconsistent with the peace and
safety of this State.”

FN 2. The court’s requirement of a “compelling state interest”
echoes Justice Jackson’s statement in West Virginia State Board of
Education v. Barnette, supra, 319 U.S. 624, 639, that “The right of
a State to regulate, for example, a public utility may well
include … power to impose all of the restrictions which a
legislature may have a ‘rational basis’ for adopting. But freedoms
of speech and of press, of assembly, and of worship may not be
infringed on such slender grounds. They are susceptible of
restriction only to prevent grave and immediate danger to interests
which the state may lawfully protect.” (Italics added; see also
National Assn. for Advancement of Colored People v. Button (1963)
371 U.S. 415, 438 [83 S.Ct. 328, 9 L.Ed.2d 405]; American Civil
Liberties Union v. Board of Education (1961) 55 Cal.2d 167 , 178 [10
Cal.Rptr. 647, 359 P.2d 45, 94 A.L.R.2d 1259]; Wollam v. City of
Palm Springs (1963) 59 Cal.2d 276 , 286 [29 Cal.Rptr. 1, 379 P.2d
481].)

FN 3. Although Peyotism has not assumed a major role in American
Indian life, it has in some respects affected it. On the one hand,
no extant Indian nation recognizes it as its national religion; the
Navajo Tribal Code forbids the possession of peyote, the driving of
a car while under the influence of peyote, and the sale of peyote on
the reservation. On the other hand, however, most anthropological
authorities hold Peyotism to be a positive, rather than negative,
force in the lives of its adherents. Since the church forbids the
use of alcohol and has adopted many of the moral precepts of
Christianity, these authorities conclude that members observe higher
standards than nonmembers.

FN 4. New Mexico Statutes (1959) 54-5-16; Montana Statutes (1959)
94-35-23.

FN 5. In Arizona v. Attakai, Criminal No. 4098, Coconino County,
July 26, 1960; appeal by State dismissed by Arizona Supreme Court.
The Arizona court held that its narcotics statute could not
constitutionally be applied to members of the Native American
Church.

FN 6. The court declares: “Upon [marriage] society may be said to
be built, and out of its fruits spring social relations and social
obligations and duties, with which government is necessarily
required to deal. In fact, according as monogamous or polygamous
marriages are allowed, do we find the principles on which the
government of the people, to a greater or less extent,
rests.professor Lieber says, polygamy leads to the patriarchal
principle, and which, when applied to large communities, fetters the
people in stationary despotism, while that principle cannot long
exist in connection with monogamy. …” (Id at pp. 165-166.)

FN 7. The court stated: “… the statute at bar does not make
unlawful any religious practices of appellants; the Sunday law
simply regulates a secular activity and, as applied to appellants,
operates so as to make the practice of their religious beliefs more
expensive. Furthermore, the law’s effect does not inconvenience all
members of the Orthodox Jewish faith but only those who believe it
necessary to work on Sunday. And even these are not faced with as
serious a choice as forsaking their religious practices or
subjecting themselves to criminal prosecution.” (Id at p. 605;
italics added.)

FN 8. Such cases as Prince v. Massachusetts (1943) 321 U.S. 158
[64 S.Ct. 438, 88 L.Ed. 645] [child labor law applied to guardian of
a 9-year-old Jehovah’s Witness]; Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1904)
197 U.S. 11 [25 S.Ct. 358, 49 L.Ed.643] [compulsory vaccination
law]; and In re Ferguson (1961) 55 Cal.2d 663 [12 Cal.Rptr. 753, 361
P.2d 417] [lawful incarceration restricting religious observances]
must be distinguished from the present case upon similar grounds.

FN 9. We note that our determination that defendants are entitled
to religious exemption raises no issue under the establishment
clause of the First Amendment. (Sherbert v. Verner, supra, 374 U.S.
at p. 409.)

Howard et al,

Thanks for the responses.  I appreciate everyone’s
input. Being able to cut my dosage was great, but I
DID feel the drop- it was not painless.

I feel better now, but am still unable to eat or sleep
much.  And anything other than cereal, fruit and juice
is a complete anathema to my stomach.  I lost 7lb over
the course of 3 days.

I would be interested in trying Ibogaine again, but
not for a while.  I found it to be a little taxing on
my system.

Julie

Thanks Callie, et.al.

What would you like to know? My DOJ is speed. I have been struggling with it for over 7 years now. I have had periods of sobriety and have been very active in secular recovery but find myself going back to the stuff, usually because of relationship (or lack of one.)

I’ve been interested in ibo for several years and almost did it the last time I got clean but decided not to. I know one person personally who used it for heroin and another who used it for crack.

I want to do it as soon as possible but the cost of going to Mexico is too much for me righ now. I thought about importing but that seems risky so I am exploring my options right now.

Hi.  I decided on 1000mg based on my weight- 15-20mg
per kg of weight.  I am 58 kilos, (roughly 125 lb),
5’7″, and 26yo.

I was able to lop a bit off my methadone dosage, from
35ml to about 20ml now, but I must honestly say, I
felt the drop, but only somewhat.

I was not able to sleep for approximately 48-50 hours
after ingesting Ibo, and even then it was one hour
naps here and there.  I should also mention I
continued to see trails for almost 3 full days.

I do not take sedatives, but I did smoke some weed to
promote sleep and appetite.  About the 1000mg- took
test dosage of 100-200mg; waited, then boosted with
about 500mg; vomited one hour later, but started to
‘trip’ on the Ibo, so waited; At around the 8 hour
mark, took remaining 300-400mg.  Everything was fine
until hour 14/15, when withdrawal symptoms started to
kick in.

I checked the Ibogaine therapy manual- I had all
symptoms except vomiting: muscle aches, yawning,
hot/cold flashes, restlessness, and a general sense of
malaise.  After about 10 hours of this, I took a sip
from my meth bottle(about 10mg??), and within 30
minutes these symptoms began to disappear.  I believe
that vomiting was my sole problem.

I don’t think Ethnogarden is too blame, I think my
stomach is to blame.  I talked to my pharmacist, and
he said that Ibogaine works much better with heroin
addiction interruption than meth- this is why I was
thinking about quitting methadone by chipping H, and
then getting off H with the Ibogaine.

First let me say that ibogaine did work.  Your dose of methadone is reduced
from 35mg/day to 20/mg/day.

There are a lot of theoretical approaches to ibogaine dosing. And ibogaine is
an experimental medication and so are its dosing regimens. Just look at all
the dosing variations among all the different ibogaine providers.  Possibly,
the dosing regimens will always be somewhat experimental as the patients coming
in for treatment are on different doses of different drugs and bring their own
pharmacodynamics to the treatment environment as well.  Given that many
patients are not locked into time constraints there is nothing to preclude moving
more slowly rather than more quickly.  For instance, a patient on 20mg/day of
methadone may take a 500mg dose of ibogaine to determine if the methadone dose
may then be reduced to 10mg/day.  A week or two later it would not seem
improbable to take a full therapeutic dose to stop methadone altogether.  It is too
bad that ibogaine is not available as an approved medication by providers who
are able to observe and treat their patients over time.  Observation of the
patient is the key to the practice of shamanism and western medicine.

The issue of the 14/15 hours withdrawal is an interesting one and should be
looked into and reported on by providers. Whether heroin or methadone generally
the first 12 hours are not a problem in any way.  Complaints do arise about
hour 16 but, usually not full blown withdrawal.  I have treated a number of
persons who claimed withdrawal but, after discussion and analysis recognized they
were not experiencing withdrawal. On the other hand if you are in withdrawal
you are in withdrawal.  On the issue of methadone doses, did your dose
normally hold you for a full 24 hours?

Setting the issues of doses of methadone aside, how do you feel?

I am also curious if anyone is using reglan (metoclopramide) as an
antinauseant and what effects are being seen?

Just because you are in a clinical environment doesn’t mean you will

you will go into immediate withdrawal.

Hey “Yall”,(sometimes I can’t shake my southern roots), I was wondering if Sara or Howard or some other such knowledgeable people could tell me if I can take St. Johns Wort in place of Paxil while waiting for my treatment. I think it helped somewhat. Although I’d say becoming unsprung ought to help with any addicts mood more than anything.  Randy

Howard,

Hi.  I decided on 1000mg based on my weight- 15-20mg
per kg of weight.  I am 58 kilos, (roughly 125 lb),
5’7″, and 26yo.

I was able to lop a bit off my methadone dosage, from
35ml to about 20ml now, but I must honestly say, I
felt the drop, but only somewhat.

I was not able to sleep for approximately 48-50 hours
after ingesting Ibo, and even then it was one hour
naps here and there.  I should also mention I
continued to see trails for almost 3 full days.

I do not take sedatives, but I did smoke some weed to
promote sleep and appetite.  About the 1000mg- took
test dosage of 100-200mg; waited, then boosted with
about 500mg; vomited one hour later, but started to
‘trip’ on the Ibo, so waited; At around the 8 hour
mark, took remaining 300-400mg.  Everything was fine
until hour 14/15, when withdrawal symptoms started to
kick in.

I checked the Ibogaine therapy manual- I had all
symptoms except vomiting: muscle aches, yawning,
hot/cold flashes, restlessness, and a general sense of
malaise.  After about 10 hours of this, I took a sip
from my meth bottle(about 10mg??), and within 30
minutes these symptoms began to disappear.  I believe
that vomiting was my sole problem.

I don’t think Ethnogarden is too blame, I think my
stomach is to blame.  I talked to my pharmacist, and
he said that Ibogaine works much better with heroin
addiction interruption than meth- this is why I was
thinking about quitting methadone by chipping H, and
then getting off H with the Ibogaine.

Sorry to ramble,
J.

Preston
What dose did you take as a booster?
And exactly how many hours after first dose?

Just curious.

And apologies to Sean, I have only just started catching up on emails and
didn’t mean to leave anyone out.

And preston there are going to be blue days. Once you take away the familiar
crutch all the stuff underneath tends to want to resurface. This can happen
at varying speeds and intensity. But for my part I still have huge mood
swings when stuff creeps up on me. I kicked cocaine – five years ago. But
prior to that had struggled with anorexia for years so plenty of stuff in my
closet. Life isn’t all up and diving into the darkness is often part of the
recovery. Especially for those more drawn to altered states and shamanic
work.

Re V’s comment,
Being affected by others opinions and reactions is something most people can
relate to I am sure. If you are especially sensitive in this area this might
be something to look at.
I know that many people want everyone to like them. They are in many ways
seeking approval, having possibly never been given it at the crucial
point/age in their development. This makes their sense of self highly
dependent on others. Looking to others to validate self is not something to
be disappointed by – although the ego doesn’t like it, but rather something
to look at, assimilate if it resonates, and then work with. I speak from
personal experience in this matter as it something I had to work through
with my therapist at length! This may of course not be your issue and you
could just be having a blue day but you might want to notice if such
responses from people do tend to trigger you.

This is a huge topic, and as I don’t really know you and am not sure a) how
much I want to expose myself on the list or how much you want to.

Hattie

or do you mean after you awoke 12 hours later
hanging out,
that it took all night to talk you into taking the next dose?,<

This is precisely what I mean Jason.

***How long were you hanging out for before you took another dose?,

Apparently V woke me on Sunday night to give me my first booster, and I
fought taking it until Monday morning, early sometime. (I thought until last
week that it’d been just a couple hours that I’d refused to take the booster
but it turned out to be all night.) I first took a Valium and then finally
calmed down enough to think about others’ reactions (that I’d read about
recently) and that if I took the booster supposedly it’d help- and it did
too, within about an hour I suppose.
peace and love,

Dear J,I would have to agree with S and Howard.
Believe me I understand your logic,I have also considered this,
using heroin for three months to come off methadone.
All it will do is put you back into the scene for three months
and who knows what will happen there.We can throw in all types of logic
and believe me I have thought of many and I have allowed myself to
kid myself in ways like this many times.All I can say is any reason to start
using heroin again
regardless of all the logic and reasoning we can muster up and regardless of
how
so very genuine we might be,if it involves using again then it just never
seems to work.

Until you find another chance to try Ibogaine again or some other way to
come off
stick to the done and if you can,  abstain from using h.
With smiles
Jasen (Aus)

.  I am considering weening myself
from methadone by chipping with heroin, and then
detoxing from the heroin with Ibo.
J

The last thing I would suggest you doing is getting involved with heroin.
Do
you not have enough problems?

Church may be facing federal prosecution

DAILY HERALD
Caleb Warnock

A celebration of minority religious rights in Utah among members of the
Oklevueha EarthWalks Native American Church came to an abrupt end Thursday
when church leaders were told they may be facing federal prosecution.

Oklevueha founder James Warren “Flaming Eagle” Mooney received a letter on
Thursday from the U. S. Department of Justice informing him that the federal
government will not recognize a June ruling of the Utah Supreme Court that
the church can distribute peyote to non-American Indians.

“Although the Utah Supreme Court has recently ruled that you may sell or
otherwise distribute peyote under state law, that ruling does not control or
bind the federal government,” wrote U.S. Attorney Paul Warner and U.S.
Department of Justice Criminal Division Chief Richard N.W. Lambert in the
letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily Herald. “Please be advised
that this office is reviewing your conduct for consideration of seeking
federal charges.”

If federal charges are filed, Mooney said he would defend his case all the
way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

Mooney and his wife, Linda, founded the Utah chapter of the Oklevueha
EarthWalks Native American Church in 1997 in Benjamin, near Spanish Fork. In
October 2000, Utah County Sheriff’s deputies raided the church, saying
Mooney was illegally distributing peyote to non-American Indians.

Deputies seized nearly 17,500 peyote buttons in addition to the church’s
computers and records. Mooney and his wife were arrested the next month and
posted bond; the Utah chapter of the church has since declared bankruptcy.

In 2001, the Mooneys were charged with 10 first-degree felony counts of
operating a controlled substance criminal enterprise, and one count of
racketeering, a second-degree felony. The couple faced life in prison for
the charges. In June, the Utah Supreme Court ordered those charges
dismissed.

In an interview with the Daily Herald, Mooney said he believes Utah County
attorney Kay Bryson is encouraging the federal charges because his office
lost the Supreme Court case. Mooney has written a letter to U.S. Sen. Orrin
Hatch, R-Utah, asking for intervention.

“I feel and think this is Mr. Bryson’s last ditch effort to cover up his
inappropriate behaviors, raiding a legally, lawfully established church, and
for arresting three of its spiritual leaders,” said Mooney.

Speaking to the Daily Herald late Thursday, Bryson said he had “no response”
to Mooney’s comments about him.

“I can tell you that the Justice Department was unhappy with the decision
that came from our state Supreme Court, and that the contact between my
office and federal authorities was initiated by federal authorities,” he
said.

Mooney said if ward leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints were prosecuted in the same way for distributing the sacrament to
church members, there would be an outcry of religious persecution. Any
erosion of religious freedom threatens other churches, he said.

“I would like people to really understand what is at stake here,” he said.
“This puts all religions at risk.”

Mooney said he is confident that when the Justice Department reviews all the
facts of the case, no charges will be brought against him.

Melodie Rydalch, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, declined to
comment.

No,
Thank You Hattie.
But I want to say publicly that of the three of us here in NYC who’ve
recently taken ibogaine, Sean is most impressive to me, in that he’s older
and I imagine even more used to, or set, in his using patterns- so his
breaking them, while staying at his parents and doing it in his parents’
presense no less, impresses the hell outta me. He just seems to be moving
steadily forward, and I’m very much enjoying watching/reading about it, or
at least, he’s inspiring me even when I don’t pay that close of attention.
(I get selfish and pay a lot of attention to myself and my own issues and
troubles actually, which sometimes leaves me feeling guilty, which I think
is probably pretty silly but still- and it’s a major reason why I don’t want
to undergo group therapy, because I don’t always want to deal with other
people’s shit, although I am going today mainly because I want to meet Sean
face to face).
On a slightly related note- I’ve been noticing that I’m really feeling
very blue today, not so happy at all and actually very depressed. I’m not
sure why. I think it’s partly due to the reaction I had from someone towards
me yesterday, someone who in any other situation would have had my utmost
respect and props, and did have it until I got his attitude, (which to be
very honest coulda just been me being paranoid too, which leaves me feeling
even worse about it) – V pointed out to me this morning that she suspects
that because I want everyone to like me, or at least get along with me, and
do tend to usually get very positive feedback from people, that when I do
come across someone who either blows me off or disrespects me, or whatever
unpositive thing I feel/think they Might be doing/acting towards me really
affects me, me being a sensitive type and all.
She may have a good point- I’m not sure. I’m going to be very
disappointed in myself if this is really the case and that’s the cause of my
blue feelings. Then again, it may be better to actually have an explaination
for it, no matter how stupid or silly, rather than continue to think that
I’m feeling like shit for no reason at all.
So I guess the Golden Time is wearing off already, and now I’m dealing
with life on its own terms again- ick. (I do still get the occasional flash
of trails and gittery vision, as late as last night I was noticing ibo
effects, but they aren’t seemingly doing anything to my mood in a good, or
at least, happyfying way.)
Peace and love to all,
Preston

Hi Shelley!

I wondered if you were the same Shelley-I use the ‘opiate detox’ website too.  I was probably who you were referring to when you said about the ADs.  I was told by an experienced sitter:

“you would have to wean off the
antidepressants. You MUST NOT be on any medication when you take the
ibogaine. ”

And they also said this about Ibogaine and Subutex:

“Subutex has a half life of between 30 and 60 hours which means your best bet
is to switch from subutex to a shorter acting opiate four or five days
before taking the ibogaine. You mustn’t have any subutex after sixty hours
before treatment ie there has to be sixty hours between last hit of subutex
and ibogaine. Obviously you may feel the withdrawals which makes it safer to
quit subutex five days prior and switch to something else to stabilise. This
is also very important as subutex and ibogaine can be very dangerous.”

I just hope they don’t mind me posting this!  I just wanted to help-I find these confusing yet very important questions to ask!

Thanks Brad. I too know that feeling of being on meth and feeling (almost) normal and actually I was thinking back last night on my life on methadone and remembered that when I got on my first program I needed to have a special letter from the state approving the treatment because I was only 16 so I’ve been struggling with this for as long as I can remember. That first period on meth was joke and I I just ended up shooting more dope and coke but the second time around maybe 4 years later for me was very different I was tired and I really wanted to stop and I do admit it did the trick for a while. I went back to school and got my shit together but as I look back on it now it was a lie and that (almost normal) feeling eventually brought me right back out because as we both know being on a meth program eventually makes you feel just about the furthest thing from normal especially if you’ve been able to put your life together in o ther areas. Well that was my experience anyway. Good luck and thank you again and be in touch any time.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

I can’t remember what day  for me it is anymore so no more of that day 29 day 30 shit.  All I do know is this has been the longest time I’ve not been under the influence of dope in one form or another. I quit smoking on Tuesday and believe it or not I’m finding its harder to stop somking that it is for me to not shoot dope, a lot harder. But I think one of the gifts I got from my ibogaine experience was the ability to exert some kind of impulse control, something I could never do in the past, which has made it a million times easier. This feeling of not wanting to harm my body anymore is just so different than anything I’ve ever felt before. I see myself getting stronger and looking better everyday and the motivation I get from that is tremendous. So much more profound than the illusion of dope.  A REAL warmth.
Thanks. -M.

Hi J,

How soon did you puke would be my first question. If it was in the first
couple of hours then you could well have lost a substantial amount.

However what you have experienced is not uncommon. During  my experience as
a facilitator I have seen or heard about what you have described (ie the
onset of withdrawals) several times and to be honest more often with women
than men.

Which is something I would like to start enquiring about on this list. How
many women using methadone have done ibogaine and how were their
experiences?? D0oes anyone else have anything to say about this?

Generally methadone does seem to be harder to detox than heroin with
ibogaine. Ibogaine will either completely eliminate or at least severely
reduce heroin withdrawal symptoms whereas with methadone it very rarely
completely eliminates them and more often than not when the ibogaine wears
off withdrawals kick in, although are usually severely reduced and last for
a far shorter time.

I am not recommending that you use heroin, rather that if you can, do
ibogaine with an experienced sitter who will be able to help ease the
withdrawals and help remedy the situation. There are  a number of different
ways of dealing with this situation if and when it arises and each
facilitator would probably give different advice.

Hattie

I am a new member, a recent Ibogaine inductee, and am
currently starting the second week of my Ibo ‘detox’.
I wish I had a more positive story to relay, but I do
not.  I hope I am not breaking any list etiquette by
posting this…

I detoxed from methadone(35mg) using 1gm HCL extract,
98%, from Ethnogarden, and for the first 13-14 hours
was convinced I was over opiates- no pain, lots and
lots of euphoria/positivity.  I was even able to eat
small amounts of Cheerios and drink apple juice.  How
wrong I was….

About an hour later, the Ibo began to wear off
substantially, and all the too familiar withdrawal
symptoms began to slowly creep in.  I thought it was
psychosomatic, so I closed my eyes and began to
meditate, but to no avail.  Within hours, I was in
almost full withdrawal.

I think my problem was that I puked part of my Ibo
dose WAY TOO SOON, and did not have another gram of
the HCL to boost me.  I am considering weening myself
from methadone by chipping with heroin, and then
detoxing from the heroin with Ibo.  Has anyone done
this?  Also, would administering the Ibo by enema
quell a bit of the nausea?

Thanks for the time to vent, list, and I hope to talk
to many more of you soon.

J.

Hi Loop, Shelley,
It’s great to run into both of you again; this is “Fluffy” from “Opiate Detox” site.  I haven’t been there for a while though.  I’ve been focusing on getting as much info on Ibogaine as I can find.
I just started the Suboxone again, a few days ago, so I’m too week to type much; it doesn’t do much for me, but it’s better than nothing.
My quest for Ibogaine/Iboga continues; Suboxone doesn’t have a good record with me ; = (
Take care,
Charlie

Hi Shelley!

I wondered if you were the same Shelley-I use the ‘opiate detox’ website too.  I was probably who you were referring to when you said about the ADs.  I was told by an experienced sitter:

“you would have to wean off the
antidepressants. You MUST NOT be on any medication when you take the
ibogaine. ”

And they also said this about Ibogaine and Subutex:

“Subutex has a half life of between 30 and 60 hours which means your best bet
is to switch from subutex to a shorter acting opiate four or five days
before taking the ibogaine. You mustn’t have any subutex after sixty hours
before treatment ie there has to be sixty hours between last hit of subutex
and ibogaine. Obviously you may feel the withdrawals which makes it safer to
quit subutex five days prior and switch to something else to stabilise. This
is also very important as subutex and ibogaine can be very dangerous.”

I just hope they don’t mind me posting this!  I just wanted to help-I find these confusing yet very important questions to ask!

Could you please tell me if you were detoxed from methadone? Changing from methadone is a bad idea I think, I don’t think you are going to be able to taper down from it I’ve had that idea so many times but it has never worked out for me.

Did the ethnogarden work to detox you and then after this you need another dose? I am trying to understand what everyone is saying. Did you get past the sickness or were you in complete withdrawl? Are you on a lower dose now or did it stay at the same level?

Did anything change for the better is what I mean?

As noted in the forward to this interview, all my recording devices are

which meant I didn’t get to go into the nitty gritty like I really wanted

Gathering ibogaine at the source in Africa

On a gorgeous sunny afternoon in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, between my own
first and second sessions on ibogaine, an African root that has been
reported useful in the kicking of a variety of substance addictions and
self-abuse patterns in the West by many researchers and private individuals,
I carried out the following interview. I met in Tompkins Square Park with
FM, who for the month of August was leading a band of guerilla ibogaine
treatment facilitators, treating an assortment of people with ibogaine for
myriad reasons.

Having been one of the lucky few who made contact with this group and was
initiated and treated with ibogaine HCL, I was interested in hearing more
about the man who made this experience possible for me and many other New
York City addicts.

Hi Howard,

I waited  about 30 hours from the time of my last
methadone dosage.  I took 100-200mg test dosage,
waited 20 minutes, and then took about 500mg, which I
promptly threw up about an hour later.  I think that
was my problem- I didn’t stagger my doses enough, and
my body couldn’t take it.  I should also mention that
I had been fasting for 24 hours.

Positive Notes: I had fantastic visuals- better than
any other psychotropic substance I have ever touched.
Faces of African and Native American people whirled by
my mind’s eye, and a lot of interesting 3D effects:
cubes, Escher-type staircases.  VERY COOL.  I also
felt like I made peace with a few moments from my
past.  All in all, very therapeutic, while it lasted.

I would like to take Ibogaine again.  I DEFINITELY
noticed the withdrawal attenuating effects for the
first 14 hours.  I believe that under the right
circumstances, Ibogaine could be an incredible healing
power….

You don’t account for 1000mg that you indicated in your first post.  That
being said, how did you determine 1000mg was the dose for you?  And What dose of
methadone are you now taking?  Same? Less? More?  And why that amount?

How long was it before you were able to sleep?  Did you take a sedative?
What is your age?  What is your weight?

Exactly describe your withdrawal signs.  You can go to
http://ibogaine.org/manual.html#withdraw to check charts for objective and subjective opioid
withdrawal signs.

Thanks

Howard

How you treated yourself before taking it. I also can give you another
idea
of what I think and

You can’t know it by yourself, you think that one gram is enough

It is hard to say, it is for an expert to say, a person who has

The same amount of ibo. Could be just fine for someone else.
Ethnogarden, when they provide the ibogaine on the free market
then for sure some people will
have a negative experience and try to blame it on Ethnogarden ibo..
But then the people who have a good experience will not complain.

Better information could not be provided.  Unless one is there to observe it
is just not possible to tell what is happening and even then, not always.

Preston,

As one who ODd four times this year, I can testify to what you say.  My harm reduction was sniffing instead of banging….until I got to now where I don’t use the shit at all.

I have been to at least five funerals of friends who overdosed and died because they shot up after being detected.  Heroin is no fucking joke, as most of here know.

I do agree with Howard as far as the heroin goes. If you can continue your
Methadone, that is what I would do. I just don’t ever plan to do H again. I
have come so close to death by OD a couple of times I would be too
frightened to do it again. (unless I was real sick!!!) Seriously, I would
avoid heroin as long as I could.<

I just found out (while hanging around Tomkins Square Park on set all day
Monday doing nothing but watching and bumping into a mess of messed up
people I used to get high with almost a decade ago) Bobbie Bratts overdosed
last year- (a local junkie/punk rocker who was around for ever and did
prison time for killing a dope dealer who hit his girlfriend years and years
ago) he had wanted to get off his methadone for ages, and apparently finally
just stopped taking it. Sick, he copped a couple bags, shot them both and
went right the fuck out. This was a guy who could bang 8 bag at a clip
without blinking, no problem at all. But after having been on the meth for
so long, then putting himself into a drastically stressed, weakened state by
cold-kicking meth, his resistance was shot to hell to excuse a pun- or who
really knows why he died that time and not others? That’s another thing-
it’s impossible to know with street dope what it is going to take to kill.
It could be for so many different reasons too, not just because of purity or
steppedonedness conditions.
Peace and love,
Preston

Carla, you are correct. I know I remember one other person who was very

I have not done Ibogaine but what J describes sounds like he took a very
weak dose. He was experiencing euphoria and positivity and even able to eat.
The other recent accounts of Ibogaine do not describe those feelings until
after the visions and ataxia are over.
I would be willing to bet that it may very well be Ibogaine they are selling
but a very weakened maybe even ‘stepped on’ version.
I am sorry J. I know it must be very disappointing to get hyped up to only

HI all,
I realized today that Oct. 11 is actually when I’m doing an interview or talk with Dean Becker on his Drug Truth Network radio show, to talk about ibogaine, Under the Influence, and the war on some drugs and users.
I mention this because now I don’t exactly know when that MAPS dance thingy is and I’d written that it was on Oct. 11- hence my explaining why that date was in my mind- I have to look again, or perhaps someone less stoned (on pot) could inform me of the actual dance/event date and save me the trouble of looking it up?

Besides all of what Howard wrote down, the other
problem could be ethnogarden. At least on time every 3
months there is someone on this list who uses their
ibogaine and isn’t happy with it. I think the last one
was Brooke the one who does Broken Saints.
http://www.brokensaints.com How are you doing Brooke?

Then someone else asked if there was ever even one
person on this list who had a good experience with
their ibogaine and nobody said anything. I know the
person jason who runs the site posted photos of
ibogaine plants here and was a nice guy but so far
there hasn’t been even one person here who used their
ibogaine and got good resuls.

Is there one person? Anyone?

Hi list,

I am a new member, a recent Ibogaine inductee, and
am
currently starting the second week of my Ibo
‘detox’.
I wish I had a more positive story to relay, but I
do
not.  I hope I am not breaking any list etiquette by
posting this…

I detoxed from methadone(35mg) using 1gm HCL
extract,
98%, from Ethnogarden, and for the first 13-14 hours
was convinced I was over opiates- no pain, lots and
lots of euphoria/positivity.  I was even able to eat
small amounts of Cheerios and drink apple juice.
How
wrong I was….

About an hour later(14/15 hour mark), the Ibo began
to
wear off substantially, and all the too familiar
withdrawal symptoms began to slowly creep in.  I
thought it was psychosomatic, so I closed my eyes
and
began to meditate, but to no avail.  Within hours, I
was in almost full withdrawal.

I think my problem was that I puked part of my Ibo
dose WAY TOO SOON, and did not have another gram of
the HCL to boost me.  I am considering weening
myself
from methadone by chipping with heroin, and then
detoxing from the heroin with Ibo.  Has anyone done
this?  Also, would administering the Ibo by enema
quell a bit of the nausea?

Thanks for the time to vent, list, and I hope to
talk
to many more of you soon.

I too will swear to my grave, no matter what is said by anyone else, that at
the 12 hour mark, when I first came to my senses again, I was in full on
withdrawals, and hating every freakin second of it- it was the worst
sensation, to come out of such beautiful visions into such hell, and it took
all night to get me to take the first booster hit. I hated the feeling, and
all I could think of was that the providers had not only my meds but all the
others’ who’d been treated too.
I was pissed off and sick as a dog- but once I took the two boosters and
went through another day’s tripping my brains out, I was fine and finished
completely with the withdrawals. I also did NOT get sick and throw up, which
as you note mighta had something to do with your results.
Peace and love, and best thoughts to you,
Preston

The last thing I would suggest you doing is getting involved with heroin.
Do
you not have enough problems?

What dose of methadone are you taking now?

How long after your last dose of methadone did you take the ibogaine?

How soon after you took the ibogaine did you throw up?

Whether you throw up or not would not be an issue if you took the ibogaine
by
enema.  However, if you vacated your bowels after taking ibogaine by enama
the loss of the dose would come to the same thing.

Can you describe any other ibogaine effects you experienced?

Anyone else familiar with ethnogarden HCl?

Awaiting information and thanks.

Howard

Besides all of what Howard wrote down, the other
problem could be ethnogarden. At least on time every 3
months there is someone on this list who uses their
ibogaine and isn’t happy with it. I think the last one
was Brooke the one who does Broken Saints.
http://www.brokensaints.com How are you doing Brooke?

Then someone else asked if there was ever even one
person on this list who had a good experience with
their ibogaine and nobody said anything. I know the
person jason who runs the site posted photos of
ibogaine plants here and was a nice guy but so far
there hasn’t been even one person here who used their
ibogaine and got good resuls.

Is there one person? Anyone?

Hi list,

am
currently starting the second week of my Ibo
‘detox’.
I wish I had a more positive story to relay, but I
do
not.  I hope I am not breaking any list etiquette by
posting this…

I detoxed from methadone(35mg) using 1gm HCL
extract,
98%, from Ethnogarden, and for the first 13-14 hours
was convinced I was over opiates- no pain, lots and
lots of euphoria/positivity.  I was even able to eat
small amounts of Cheerios and drink apple juice.
How
wrong I was….

About an hour later(14/15 hour mark), the Ibo began
to
wear off substantially, and all the too familiar
withdrawal symptoms began to slowly creep in.  I
thought it was psychosomatic, so I closed my eyes
and
began to meditate, but to no avail.  Within hours, I
was in almost full withdrawal.

I think my problem was that I puked part of my Ibo
dose WAY TOO SOON, and did not have another gram of
the HCL to boost me.  I am considering weening
myself
from methadone by chipping with heroin, and then
detoxing from the heroin with Ibo.  Has anyone done
this?  Also, would administering the Ibo by enema
quell a bit of the nausea?

Thanks for the time to vent, list, and I hope to
talk
to many more of you soon.

Sounds like it may have been better to have done it in a clinic, methadone is tougher than smack. You probablly couldn’t afford? Can you do it under medical supervision? Was someone with you? In my little opinion vomiting isn’t bad. What they do in Gabon is feed it to you until you puke. Part of it, you know… They wait and see what you are seeing and then if you need more, more is fed. Until you puke again. HCL is very different from the bark though. Are you back on opiates? Plenty of ibo/methadone folk out there who have some sage advice. And no, very excellent that you posted with honesty, no rules broken.

Take care,
Steve.

The last thing I would suggest you doing is getting involved with heroin.  Do
you not have enough problems?

What dose of methadone are you taking now?

How long after your last dose of methadone did you take the ibogaine?

How soon after you took the ibogaine did you throw up?

Whether you throw up or not would not be an issue if you took the ibogaine by
enema.  However, if you vacated your bowels after taking ibogaine by enama
the loss of the dose would come to the same thing.

Can you describe any other ibogaine effects you experienced?

Anyone else familiar with ethnogarden HCl?

Awaiting information and thanks.

Howard

Date: August 26, 2004 at 3:56:22 PM EDT
To: ibogaine@mindvox.com
Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

Hi!
Follow-up Treatment NYC
I think an association of members who have been recently treated in NYC needs to form whereby they pool their resources.
I suggest that a fund be set up and each member contribute on a regular basis to build up a cash flow into the foreseeable future, as successful treatment can be ongoing for up to 6 years.
The combined cash flow will bring in a cheaper supply of Ibo-HCL to be administered when needed. Most members of the group should themselves be on call to assist another member in need of a treatment at a given time.
A system of credits can be set up depending on how many treatments one has had, quantity of ibogaine used and the amount of sessions one has given. They can be traded like the Kyoto agreement – maybe call it the Kyoto Group? If someone comes out in credit then at the end point some form of cash refund can be made as some may need less treatment and others more or they can simply sell on their credits to someone else coming in.
Another idea is to set up a program of 6 or 9 major sessions, structure the cost of the ibogaine and treat within the group. Swap treatments. An estimate of the total cost of the ibogaine needed can be made and the member pay in over a period of 2 or 3 years to cover the cost of the ibogaine only. If they need more sessions the price can be adjusted. However in my experience after 6 or 9 treatments, smaller or mini-sessions are in order and they require very little support and can be easily handled by the person themselves. For this they can pay the group for the cost of the ibogaine bought at a reduced price as it is bought in bulk.
Successful treatment is an investment but the costs are prohibitive to complete the program. To buy ibogaine for self administration costs about $200 for a session or $100 for a mini-session. It is only at that level that one can really be comfortable in an ongoing program of ibogaine therapy. Knowing how long it takes for healing, I balk at the idea that one should have to pay $1000 each time minimum. It sounds cheap but really it is expensive to those who need it. And it leaves a person after an initial release from the pain and addiction right back where they started if they cannot continue to be treated and are still not at a stage where they can really benefit from normal therapies.
Of course the group needs to be switched on to the process involved in the overall healing journey. I write a lot about that in my book. They need to be aware of the types of therapy, basically body orientated, that can help, along with the thought processes in their relationships – i.e. to get a grip on the destructive patterns – insight. If the sessions are ongoing they will teach the person to work through these things and give them all the insights they can handle.
Eventually healing arrives and a whole new destination in life has been reached but first a solid program needs to be in place that is not prohibitive. Otherwise I feel in a way its a bit cruel to give one session and leave the person in limbo.
Best to you all,
Lee

Oh yeah,
Howard, with your advice ringing in my ears this morning, I first
went and hung out with Dana just after 8AM for an hour and a half and woke
his ass up, then walked up to HT at around 10 to say hello to friends and
such, then while walking home realized I had steered myself uncoinciously
but directly to and in the front door of the clinic where I first got my
liver checked out and had my post-biopsy discussion with liver doctors,
(turns out it was back in 1998-99). After meandering about this huge
building and wandering the halls  almost in a state of lostness, I found
first the liver clinic office, which gave me my records number, then the
office with the medical records, which is going to mail me mine- all
bloodwork/labs/any material that relates at all to my Hep C- hopefully by
Friday, so I should be able to see soon whether my numbers (at least those
in that panel I showed you) have dropped or not. I think they must have- but
then I am not completely sure. That thing I showed you did NOT show my white
blood cell count, did it? (I mean, does it?)
Thanks for the advice on stopping by there.
I’ve been finding myself thinking every day, “ok, what excuse can I come up
with to get outta this apartment and walk around doin’ stuff?” I walked from
Norfolk and Houston, where I live, to Dana’s, then HT at 28th and Park, then
home again by way of Union Square. That’s a lot of walking really,
especially with my back and leg troubles- then I’ve got a meeting with the
owner of the bar where I’m throwing the book release party and the bassist
of the headlining band (Joker 5 Speed is playing the party it looks like-
don’t yet know who else, but there should be at least one more I think) to
discuss logistics and sound stuff at 1:30 this afternoon, then a 3:30
appointment with Barbara Judd (whose office I visited yesterday thinking the
appointment was yesterday, but it wasn’t it was today- silly me), so I’m
getting out today too. It’s weird- I slept like a rock last night, going to
bed very early, before 11PM for sure, and got up when V got home from work
around 5AM. I did NOT ask her for any pain meds for the fist couple of
hours, then took one of each at around 8AM, or a little after.
So I’m spacing my meds out very responsibly, doing them at the point
where I simply have to have the relief- which is weird too as I’ve got to
then wait another hour pretty much to even get that relief- and it doesn’t
bother me to wait.
LOL!
So have a great day all, and wish everyone well here in the Apple while
the terrorists…errr, Republicans? Blue Meanies? Warmongers? Whatever they
are, wish the rest of us NY’ers well please.
Peace and love to everyone,

So I have to split for a few weeks on a job, get off the list and when I get back yesterday lookie lookie! All sorts of shit has happened!

First off, I am pleased as punch that Preston, Sean and others have taken the plunge. Cool shit, eh? I’ve always had this strange and hopeful notion that the ibogaine list would have a few more posts from people (gulp) who have actually taken it. Congrats people. I was thinking of you Preston. Excellent that you have a group to chill with.

Second off, another Patrick trashing? For fucks sake people! Gboy, what’s the matter, your mom not hug you enough? Last I checked, most people are a combination of good and bad, and I believe that if the good outweighs the bad, as in Patrick’s case, then fuck it, I like ’em! Yin and yang, good and evil also supply the vital energy that powers the universe. Some Bwiti dude told me “evil is the fire of the engine.”

My other friend Patrick always says “There’s no such thing as good and bad, only dull and amusing… and you’re not dull.” This is after me moaning about what a bad and evil person I am after some transgression of one sort or the other.

My mon says “you can fight evil but not stupid.”

So fuck it.

Let’s move on to that higher dimension.

Another thing, taking ibo multiple times isn’t necessarily the answer to staying clean. Better post care is. Just an idea. What can we collectively do to raise the rate of success? Here’s looking at you NYC…

Best,
S.

Hi Loop,glad to see you in another forum!Thanks for your response,I was asking for you I guess,Im not sure that part about AD’s,I know they treat ppl with dual dx with ibo,guess well hear more as time gose on-shell

Hannah Clay <hannah.clay@ntlworld.com> wrote:
Hi Shelley!

I wondered if you were the same Shelley-I use the ‘opiate detox’ website too.  I was probably who you were referring to when you said about the ADs.  I was told by an experienced sitter:

“you would have to wean off the
antidepressants. You MUST NOT be on any medication when you take the
ibogaine. ”

And they also said this about Ibogaine and Subutex:

“Subutex has a half life of between 30 and 60 hours which means your best bet
is to switch from subutex to a shorter acting opiate four or five days
before taking the ibogaine. You mustn’t have any subutex after sixty hours
before treatment ie there has to be sixty hours between last hit of subutex
and ibogaine. Obviously you may feel the withdrawals which makes it safer to
quit subutex five days prior and switch to something else to stabilise. This
is also very important as subutex and ibogaine can be very dangerous.”

I just hope they don’t mind me posting this!  I just wanted to help-I find these confusing yet very important questions to ask!

Thanks Brad. I too know that feeling of being on meth and feeling (almost) normal and actually I was thinking back last night on my life on methadone and remembered that when I got on my first program I needed to have a special letter from the state approving the treatment because I was only 16 so I’ve been struggling with this for as long as I can remember. That first period on meth was joke and I I just ended up shooting more dope and coke but the second time around maybe 4 years later for me was very different I was tired and I really wanted to stop and I do admit it did the trick for a while. I went back to school and got my shit together but as I look back on it now it was a lie and that (almost normal) feeling eventually brought me right back out because as we both know being on a meth program eventually makes you feel just about the furthest thing from normal especially if you’ve been able to put your life together in o ther areas. Well that was my experience anyway. Good luck and thank you again and be in touch any time.

Congratulations “M”, I have followed your journey, waited for your “return” and am happy for you. It was 9 years ago next week, the last time I came out of a Rehab. and was drug free. All of your descriptions have reminded me of those feelings and thoughts, I never took it as serious as it is. The past 5 years MMT has stabilized my life and got me thinking I’m normal, we know better. You and Preston have given me new hope and probably, many others.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

The following URL will take you to the website of Dr. Bennett Cecil, expert in the field of liver
diseases:  www.hepatitisdoctor.com

There is a lot of general information regarding Hep C along with the other hepatitis conditions so
a visit there will benefit most everybody – you’ll learn something.  He has a clinic in Louisville, Ky
and I am told he has another one in Detroit, Michigan. maybe somewhere in Pennsylvania also?

We have firsthand experience with this doctor and believe him to be the BEST (Randy and Ann).
On a couple of visits we discussed Ibogaine with him.  He was very interested; in fact, he gave us
a copy of Randy’s latest bloodwork.

Hopefully more and more people will have access to Ibogaine and we need to look out for one another.

Good ‘ol Vector,

You forgot to describe yourself! I loved your pithy descriptions
of
the regulars, which ring true to me. BTW..on another list Preston
introduces me as drugged expert. Kinda liked it.

That’s so you Sean 🙂

Your right! I was 18 when I found this list, I’m not a drug addict and
have never been one so I never tell anyone what they should do because
nobody would ever listen to me anyway 😉 I learn a lot here and plan to
stay in school maybe major in social policy or law as it relates to
drug users and drug use 🙂

No more msgs from me, time to bake 🙂 If I write a summary for everyone
do I finally get a @mindvox email?

On a related note, many list members describe themselves as being
infected by this list. Is mindvox. in fact a virus? A nefarious
plot
by Lord Digital and his cult to subversively infect the minds of
psychonaugts worldwide with the sacrament of initiation?

Patrick did say that 😉

.:vector:.

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

The MindVox servers are located 100 feet underground in New Mexico,
Utah, and Pig’s Knuckle, OH. They are fully distributed, entirely
redundant, and completely recombinant. Vox is INVINCIBLE, Invisible and
psychotic — it enters the mind through the eye and spreads throughout
the organism.

MindVox operates on a principle similar to RADAR, but is highly
unstable and FLYING out of everything. It has an array of OC3’s with
direct interfaces to the ley-lines circling the earth. Its NOC’s are
located at Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, and a distributed-system
of Lost Temples hidden at the earth’s core. The earth is hollow,
conclusive and fully documented proof is available in the works of Nazi
Scientist Genius: Hans Horbiger (who should not, and MUST not, be
confused with the Scientist in Outer Space), who EXPOSED the whole
entire truth (in its complete totality). THOSE PEOPLE, sadly, just
didn’t understand.

Customer Support for MindVox is located in a little white house with a
big UPS in the West Indies, a small, nondescript dwelling 10km. west of
Lop Buri, Thailand, and a SERIES of completely trashed apartments on
the upper east side in NYC.

MindVox has been used for centuries in smaller doses to combat fatigue
and boredom, and higher ranges, as part of spiritual initiation rituals
in the Voxer Religion. MindVox HCl was first made available in 1991 and
will finally be released as an unbound freebase in 2001. In the very
near future we hope to have Vox available in an exciting variety of
flavored suppositories, in an assortment of sizes, so that you can
stick it up your ass.

MindVox UNDERSTANDS that Aleister Crowley was just misunderstood. The
Book of Coming Forth by Night and Doing a Lot of Coke wasn’t his fault.
That was his DISEASE, plus, also, Aiwiss made him do BAD THINGS.
Although, to be honest, Vox loves receiving Hate Mail and Death Threats
from Satanic Masters of the Dark Arts who threaten to Smite it Down if
it Doesn’t STOP mocking (who’s mocking?) the Great Beast (what did we
ever say about Marilyn Manson? He’s an EXCELLENT musician). Deep down
inside, MindVox KNOWS that these letters ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and
WITHOUT A DOUBT do NOT come from welfare-collecting, computer-twerps
who sit on the Internet 24hrs. a day. It Fully Realizes its Whole
Entire Future is in Grave Peril and vibrates inside with Tremendous
Glee…

MindVox was INSIDE the Bayer corporation when they invented the cure
for coughs. It hovered briefly in the general vicinity of Freud when he
UNVEILED the Whole Entire panacea for depression, but then left,
because he made its head hurt, lots and lots. Vox loves, believes in,
and STANDS BEHIND all B-D products, which make hypodermic syringes that
should ONLY be used for IM’ing insulin — never, ever, anything else .
. . at all. It chooses to disbelieve in the Secret, Hidden Network of
Iranian Gas-Station Owners who are nearly always out of gas, change, or
any food product that did not expire 3 years ago. They do, however,
have a near-endless supply of baking soda and brillo, plus, also, not
to be forgotten, Many Thousands of Mysterious Glass Tubes — which the
super-friendly worker will hand you through the bulletproof glass if he
KNOWS you — which could serve almost ANY purpose imaginable, but are
definitely, without a doubt, and absolutely, NOT crackpipes. MindVox
understands this is just another conspiracy by the Illuminati, CIA and
Black Panthers.

MindVox SEES the REAL you. Yes YOU, it KNOWS that you’re so special,
you’re all aglow with specialness. It finds you interesting, different,
and totally unique — it loves you, lots and lots, and wants to
eXchange bodily fluids. Vox is sensitive — whole Legions of Mental
Health Experts, have PROVEN and EXPLAINED this — and lies awake at
night crying, feeling the pain of the Horrible Atrocities being
COMMITED at the former fully robotic NeXT factory, where BAD PEOPLE are
making the Automation do TERRIBLE, Unspeakable, THINGS . . .

The Truth is OUT There … and if it’s not; just go ahead and make
things up. Because, really, in The End (Apocalypse Now Remix),
everything is always all-good. You only need to open your ears to see
the truth, and understand that Saint Cobain died for our sins, Tupac
was killed because he cared TOO MUCH, and Jesus so loved LSD that he
gave the world bisexual women in thigh-high leather boots.

Complete Documented Proof is available from
the Scientist in Outer Space, upon request.

Yo g,

One of the above mentioned people gave me the tip on where to get treated
with ibogaine in an NY underground experiment.  Asked me not to mention
getting the email tip form him, so I still don”t divulge who.

Also, I managed to get on this list before ever seeing mindvox. When I
joined I knew nothing about Patrick or Mindvox,,,very poor self promotion
form these self promoters don’t you think?  While I appreciate that Patrick
spends time and money running this list, I really don’t know they guy.  He
is providing a great service, in my opinion will say that.

As for Dr. Mash, I really feel as if I don’t know her at all, because well,
I don’t.  Never spoke to her, inquired about her clinic, nothing.  Read her
website once, that’s about it.

As for Howard, he seems like a wise good man.  He certainly encourages no
sort of fan club.

By the way…do you think Patrick runs the Harm Reduction Institute, and the
Black Panthers?  They are currently studying ibo.  Oh yes, and the NY State
addiction office is now saying very positive things about ibo too.  Oh yes,
Patrick controls them as well.  I suppose he got the Bwiti goin too…being

but I think I can do better than Sean Casino.<

We met a guy named Steve Leather recently, who inspired V to come with
Vanessa Vinyl, (being a record-real, honest to goodness vinyl), which
although she’s not actually using it- yet- is still a cool handle for a dj.
We also know someone named Vegas, which would be really really hilarious
were we to find out his last name was casino.

Hi all,

Not all that important, but I accidentally let my spell check change my name
from Sean Cashin to Sean Casino.  I hear new names are not uncommon after
initiation rituals in some religious circles, but I think I can do better
than Sean Casino.

Good ‘ol Vector,

You forgot to describe yourself!  I loved your pithy descriptions
of
the regulars, which ring true to me.  BTW..on another list Preston
introduces me as drugged expert.  Kinda liked it.

That’s so you Sean 🙂

Your right! I was 18 when I found this list, I’m not a drug addict and
have never been one so I never tell anyone what they should do because
nobody would ever listen to me anyway 😉 I learn a lot here and plan to
stay in school maybe major in social policy or law as it relates to
drug users and drug use 🙂

No more msgs from me, time to bake 🙂 If I write a summary for everyone
do I finally get a @mindvox email?

On a related note, many list members describe themselves as being
infected by this list.  Is mindvox. in fact a virus?  A nefarious
plot
by Lord Digital and his cult to subversively infect the minds of
psychonaugts worldwide with the sacrament of initiation?

Patrick did say that 😉

.:vector:.

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

The MindVox servers are located 100 feet underground in New Mexico,
Utah, and Pig’s Knuckle, OH. They are fully distributed, entirely
redundant, and completely recombinant. Vox is INVINCIBLE, Invisible and
psychotic — it enters the mind through the eye and spreads throughout
the organism.

MindVox operates on a principle similar to RADAR, but is highly
unstable and FLYING out of everything. It has an array of OC3’s with
direct interfaces to the ley-lines circling the earth. Its NOC’s are
located at Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, and a distributed-system
of Lost Temples hidden at the earth’s core. The earth is hollow,
conclusive and fully documented proof is available in the works of Nazi
Scientist Genius: Hans Horbiger (who should not, and MUST not, be
confused with the Scientist in Outer Space), who EXPOSED the whole
entire truth (in its complete totality). THOSE PEOPLE, sadly, just
didn’t understand.

Customer Support for MindVox is located in a little white house with a
big UPS in the West Indies, a small, nondescript dwelling 10km. west of
Lop Buri, Thailand, and a SERIES of completely trashed apartments on
the upper east side in NYC.

MindVox has been used for centuries in smaller doses to combat fatigue
and boredom, and higher ranges, as part of spiritual initiation rituals
in the Voxer Religion. MindVox HCl was first made available in 1991 and
will finally be released as an unbound freebase in 2001. In the very
near future we hope to have Vox available in an exciting variety of
flavored suppositories, in an assortment of sizes, so that you can
stick it up your ass.

MindVox UNDERSTANDS that Aleister Crowley was just misunderstood. The
Book of Coming Forth by Night and Doing a Lot of Coke wasn’t his fault.
That was his DISEASE, plus, also, Aiwiss made him do BAD THINGS.
Although, to be honest, Vox loves receiving Hate Mail and Death Threats
from Satanic Masters of the Dark Arts who threaten to Smite it Down if
it Doesn’t STOP mocking (who’s mocking?) the Great Beast (what did we
ever say about Marilyn Manson? He’s an EXCELLENT musician). Deep down
inside, MindVox KNOWS that these letters ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and
WITHOUT A DOUBT do NOT come from welfare-collecting, computer-twerps
who sit on the Internet 24hrs. a day. It Fully Realizes its Whole
Entire Future is in Grave Peril and vibrates inside with Tremendous
Glee…

MindVox was INSIDE the Bayer corporation when they invented the cure
for coughs. It hovered briefly in the general vicinity of Freud when he
UNVEILED the Whole Entire panacea for depression, but then left,
because he made its head hurt, lots and lots. Vox loves, believes in,
and STANDS BEHIND all B-D products, which make hypodermic syringes that
should ONLY be used for IM’ing insulin — never, ever, anything else .
. . at all. It chooses to disbelieve in the Secret, Hidden Network of
Iranian Gas-Station Owners who are nearly always out of gas, change, or
any food product that did not expire 3 years ago. They do, however,
have a near-endless supply of baking soda and brillo, plus, also, not
to be forgotten, Many Thousands of Mysterious Glass Tubes — which the
super-friendly worker will hand you through the bulletproof glass if he
KNOWS you — which could serve almost ANY purpose imaginable, but are
definitely, without a doubt, and absolutely, NOT crackpipes. MindVox
understands this is just another conspiracy by the Illuminati, CIA and
Black Panthers.

MindVox SEES the REAL you. Yes YOU, it KNOWS that you’re so special,
you’re all aglow with specialness. It finds you interesting, different,
and totally unique — it loves you, lots and lots, and wants to
eXchange bodily fluids. Vox is sensitive — whole Legions of Mental
Health Experts, have PROVEN and EXPLAINED this — and lies awake at
night crying, feeling the pain of the Horrible Atrocities being
COMMITED at the former fully robotic NeXT factory, where BAD PEOPLE are
making the Automation do TERRIBLE, Unspeakable, THINGS . . .

The Truth is OUT There … and if it’s not; just go ahead and make
things up. Because, really, in The End (Apocalypse Now Remix),
everything is always all-good. You only need to open your ears to see
the truth, and understand that Saint Cobain died for our sins, Tupac
was killed because he cared TOO MUCH, and Jesus so loved LSD that he
gave the world bisexual women in thigh-high leather boots.

Complete Documented Proof is available from
the Scientist in Outer Space, upon request.

Hi Lee and welcome to the ibogaine list. You walked into episode 4000
or more of the soap opera, it’s all very confusing sometimes. G boy is
angry about some party where Patrick, Howard and Dana dissed him or
that’s what it looks like. He posts messages and attacks Howard and
Patrick for no reason but not Dana.

Messianic authors who self publish books about ibogaine are always
welcome, unless Dana gets angry about it because he was there first.

Howard is Howard Lotsof

http://www.ibogaine.org

Patrick is harder to explain he’s had a lot of lives, to use Dr. Mash’s
words he’s her son or something 😉 He runs all this and shows up on TV
flashing his trackmarks.

http://www.kron.com/Global/story.asp?s=%20%201652207
http://ibogaine.mindvox.com
http://www.mindvox.com

Dana Beal takes more time to explain too, he’s Dana.

European Ibogaine Forum 2018

Carla has been here longer then I have and I’ve been here for nearly 4
years. She’s someone who got clean through ibogaine. Callie is a nice
person who hasn’t done ibogaine yet. Shcmooly is someone from Miami who
is a friend of Patrick’s and probably a MD who doesn’t spell check.
Gboy is a burner from NY. Preston, Mark, Sean are all newly dosed
ibogaine people, but Preston has been on the list for years and runs
the Drug War list on MindVox and the drugwar site.

http://www.drugwar.com

I forget who else has talked in the last day there are a lot of people
here. Nobody at all is going to listen to you when you tell them what
ibogaine is, most people here already have their own opinions and some
like Patrick and Howard have done it more times then most studies all
on their own.

We need a character guide for this channel 🙂

Yo g,

One of the above mentioned people gave me the tip on where to get treated with ibogaine in an NY underground experiment.  Asked me not to mention getting the email tip form him, so I still don”t divulge who.

Also, I managed to get on this list before ever seeing mindvox. When I joined I knew nothing about Patrick or Mindvox,,,very poor self promotion form these self promoters don’t you think?  While I appreciate that Patrick spends time and money running this list, I really don’t know they guy.  He is providing a great service, in my opinion will say that.

As for Dr. Mash, I really feel as if I don’t know her at all, because well, I don’t.  Never spoke to her, inquired about her clinic, nothing.  Read her website once, that’s about it.

As for Howard, he seems like a wise good man.  He certainly encourages no sort of fan club.

By the way…do you think Patrick runs the Harm Reduction Institute, and the Black Panthers?  They are currently studying ibo.  Oh yes, and the NY State addiction office is now saying very positive things about ibo too.  Oh yes, Patrick controls them as well.  I suppose he got the Bwiti goin too…being Lord digital and all.

Hi Randy,

Form what I’ve heard:) the underground that landed in the New York metro area for example, did not just sell the shiznit and take off.  They asked for EKG, a liver panel where appropriate before considering selling ibo.  They called multiple times during treatment, and were available the whole time during treatment via telephone.  They also insisted that sitters be the kind of people who would not hesitate to take an ibo doser to an ER if appropriate.  And sitters were made aware of risks.

I think this may clam some of your concerns.  An ibo underground which drops the shit and runs could be pretty scary Imo.  BTW..the ibo underground used a sliding scale, going down to $400 if needed..so I have heard.:)

Pax,
Sean

PS there will follow up by the ibo team which dosed NY.   And post ibo treatment is underway, again with help from the underground.  They really are damn good people who go by false names.

ALERT —  Be aware of new car-jacking scheme Imagine: You walk
across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your
doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and you look into the rearview
mirror to back out of your parking space and you notice a piece of
paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into PARK,
unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or
whatever it is) that is obstructing your view…

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of
nowhere, jump into your car and take off !! Your engine was running,
(ladies would have their purse in the car) and they practically mow you
down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to
your window later, and be thankful that! you read this email. I hope you will forward
this to friends and family…especially to women! A purse contains all identification,
and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address.
They already HAVE your keys!

Sorry though, you don’t get my blood pressure to rise or my heart to become tachycardic…….you just amuse me that you have these sporadic bursts of public anger. You need to decompress or you may have some serious anxiety related illness.
Take a toke off a doobie and smile man!

Gboy could we stop with all this? I think you and some
others showed up right after Christmas and went off on
Patrick and Dana Beal because your friends had to work
on some party at Knitting Factory for a long time,
then stood in line outside. Wait let me find it, no
that was your friend. This was your friends message
right after is yours.

Dana Beal made you angry, then you made up with him or
something and started attacking everyone else who was
at that party, patrick and howard. That’s all most of
your messages have ever done.

Please stop? or send people you hate email. I don’t
know what all your personal problems are but you don’t
need to keep putting it here.

Patrick already replied to you but to add something to it without
getting involved in all this because I don’t think there’s any problem
with anyone who promotes ibogaine. All you did whether any of it is
true or not, is accuse Patrick of exploiting himself to promote
ibogaine. What’s that mean?

I’m not against your point which I think is true, you look up what
sites are crossed with this one and the list is

Phone Losers Of America
2600 – The Hacker Quarterly
Hacking In Progress
Paranoia
Takedown
CCC – Chaos Computer Club
Wired
Spy
Microsoft 🙂 who I think are looking for who is posting how to break
windows 🙂

I don’t see any entheogen links either and I first found this site
years ago by looking at what happened to Mindvox, I’ve never been a
drug addict. That part is probably true, Patrick takes all that and
turns it into the ibogaine show, but what do you care? It’s their
system, their reputation, LOD was him and Chris Goggins, then 6 or 7
people who all went to prison and the most famous 3 who keep going in
and out of prison 🙂 Them and Kevin Mitnick who has stayed out of
prison after being there for 4 years with no trial.

“Voices in My Head: The Mindvox Overture by Patrick Kroupa
Mr. Kroupa’s announcement of the creation of his new ISP caught a lot
of people off guard. The tack from which he made his announcement was
to harken back to the 1980’s, and all the unique cultural forces at
work then, that expressed themselves on the modem. In many ways, he saw
a lot of what I’ve seen in terms of a need to preserve or maintain that
time in some fashion. He additionally saw a need to make those times
come back by creating Mindvox, his ISP by way of his company Phantom
Technologies. I know that mindvox was wildly successful for a time, but
the full story of its downfall escapes me. Meanwhile, this text still
survives and shows an amazing breadth of insight into the world of the
preceding decade. This document was reprinted everywhere, so it
definitely hit a nerve. I just wish we had a little more in our hands
to show for it.”

It has a high hit rate because it’s Mindvox, not because anyone is
looking for ibogaine and Patrick shoves ibogaine in the middle of all
of it. People promoting ibogaine are offensive to you personally why?
😉

Patrick does get a huge amount of attention because he can write, it’s
not bad for a 22 year old to go mainstream and end up with their words
all over Wired. It’s too bad everyone in Mindvox destroyed it and now
when you look it up you get: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindVox

“MindVox was an early- to mid-90’s online community, which was also the
first Internet Service Provider in Manhattan. Featured in magazines
such as Wired, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker, MindVox attracted a
core of artists, writers, activists and luminaries such as Robert
Maplethorpe, Doug Rushkoff, John Perry Barlow, and Kurt Cobain before
spectacularly imploding when it’s co-founders faced an eruption of
scandal, arrests, and trips to drug rehabs.”

Patrick likes ibogaine, people I’ve seen posting here for years want
their work as part of it all, why does that offend you?

the best one for ibogaine from that kron story with
the deborah and patrick show which everyone keeps
copying, had the perfect title to it ‘the cure for
addiction: a nation shrugs’.

That says it all, why does everybody contribute
time and art and all to mindvox, because peeps are
out for themselves. what does dave hunter write in
his art pieces that go out in erowid, to lord digital
and howard, what do all the h4xors who end up here
because of mindvox say about it on other forums,
‘the ibogaine promotional service formely known as
mindvox’ there isnt some huge crowd of peeps keep
loading this because of ibogaine, they all come here
for mindvox and mr. american badass lord digital,
every link into this place except for mebbe 20 in all,
is for mindvox not ibo. all those people who see
everyones art and writing here are loading mindvox
not looking for ibo and you run the 24 hour a day
ibogaine commercial instead.

All you do here patrick is run the Howard lotsoff
fanclub while peeps who have been helping others in
the underground for years get no props for it. They
show up for mindvox, the whole front picture does
nothing except load up a big ibogaine plant and dump
everybody into right here and the howard lotsof show
you dont even post here patrick.

its all bs, everybody is only out for themselves,
if any of you wanted to help ibo so much then patrick
why dont you and fancher, the other 2 people in mindvox,
get your parents to write a check. combine all their
money together and all your parents are worth more then
a billion. dont see any of them doing anything for ibo,
I dont see any of your partners in mindvox care about ibo
either. or dont write a check, only put a story in the
village voice, it ran alot of stories about mindvox, it
should, fancher’s dad started the paper with norman
mailer. get norman mailer to write a story. no never,
why not? nobody cares, they load mindvox and get ibo.

<<  —–Below are four (4)  questions. You have to answer them instantly.
You can’t take your time,  answer all of them, immediately.

First Question:
You are  participating in a race.
You overtake the second person.
What position  are you in?

Answer:

If you answered that you are first, then  you are absolutely wrong!
If you overtake the second person and you take  his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up in the next question.

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are…?

Answer:
If you answered that you are second to last, then you are  wrong.
Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person? YOU are the last  person.

You’re not very good at this are you?
Third Question:
Very tricky math! Note! : This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT  use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to  it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30.
Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now  add another 1000. Now add 10. What is
the total?

Answer:

Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don’t believe  it?
Check with your calculator!

Today is definitely not your day.  Maybe you will get the last question
right?

Fourth Question:

Mary’s father has five daughters:
1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4.  Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?
(a, e, i, o, u)?
Answer:Nunu? NO! Of course, not. Her name is Mary. Read the question  again

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Listening to some of the comments I couldn’t help but feel that you guys who hold your heads up, even when others are cowardly trying to knock them down, are a great bunch of people. It takes a certain kind of courage to put the best of yourself out there for others even when you fee like shit inside. And it takes a very special person to own their own inner world.
It takes strength. It forges the soul into an instrument of power and destiny.
None of us really know our path. And none of us know why we and not another. But maybe our soul knows and it is relying on us to have the strength to make it through. You cannot say that there is no learning in all of this. Unfortunately, we only fully learn as we heal.
If healing is what we seek then we cannot get off at the first station just as the train is about to makes its way into the mountains of our life.
Single dose ibogaine does not cure addiction. It interrupts physical dependence but once the wound is subsequently snared by events, the well of wellness runs pretty dry and the gaping wound needs a fix. That is why there is so much more to ibogaine or eboga, if you have faith in its willingness to help you. Many sessions are necessary.
I have never been a drug addict. I have struggled with nicotine – a curse on it – but I imagine that the pain I went through and the need to smoke to try and sedate that open wound, is one and the same as the reason why you guys decided to shoot up.
So perhaps its the junkies and the abused who are the real people in this world. Because we at least respond to pain.
We live in a capitalist nightmare. The power of the abused mind when it turns from itself, is very dark indeed. But then I suppose these people don’t do drugs. So that makes it okay? Bullshit. I would rather any day be a drug addict than the leader of any group that had no heart and no thought for his fellow man. That is the path of the dark side. And it only goes one place – back into the earth.
So we all have to be brave even when others chose to be cowards and try to pull us down because the new world up ahead is depending on us. Because the meek shall inherit the earth. The last will be first.
Now whoever wrote that shitty email about this list being useless. Would they please put this email in your pipe and smoke it? Let me know if its a good smoke or not? Ok!
Peace,
Lee

Hi Shelley!

I wondered if you were the same Shelley-I use the ‘opiate detox’ website too.  I was probably who you were referring to when you said about the ADs.  I was told by an experienced sitter:

“you would have to wean off the
antidepressants. You MUST NOT be on any medication when you take the
ibogaine. ”

And they also said this about Ibogaine and Subutex:

“Subutex has a half life of between 30 and 60 hours which means your best bet
is to switch from subutex to a shorter acting opiate four or five days
before taking the ibogaine. You mustn’t have any subutex after sixty hours
before treatment ie there has to be sixty hours between last hit of subutex
and ibogaine. Obviously you may feel the withdrawals which makes it safer to
quit subutex five days prior and switch to something else to stabilise. This
is also very important as subutex and ibogaine can be very dangerous.”

I just hope they don’t mind me posting this!  I just wanted to help-I find these confusing yet very important questions to ask!
LOL Hannah (Loop)

Thanks Brad. I too know that feeling of being on meth and feeling (almost) normal and actually I was thinking back last night on my life on methadone and remembered that when I got on my first program I needed to have a special letter from the state approving the treatment because I was only 16 so I’ve been struggling with this for as long as I can remember. That first period on meth was joke and I I just ended up shooting more dope and coke but the second time around maybe 4 years later for me was very different I was tired and I really wanted to stop and I do admit it did the trick for a while. I went back to school and got my shit together but as I look back on it now it was a lie and that (almost normal) feeling eventually brought me right back out because as we both know being on a meth program eventually makes you feel just about the furthest thing from normal especially if you’ve been able to put your life together in o ther areas. Well that was my experience anyway. Good luck and thank you again and be in touch any time.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

Thanks for all the wonderful B- day wishes and I will thank all of you
individually as soon as ! I can take a minute from work. To clarify, yes, I
had a wonderful opportunity to take Ibogaine for more days than most in
Mexico and then truly blessed with the opportunity to go again when I got
back home 9 days out BUT 1/3 of the full dose I was getting in Mexico. I was
still getting residual withdrawals when I got home and I feel that second
dose was the real flush. However, thats not to say that if I got home and
there was no second opportunity that it would have made much of a difference
when it came to staying clean. I was willing to go thorugh whatever I had to
becasue I was almost suicidal before I left for mexico. Ibogaine is NOT a
magic pill it is simply a tool and intention plays a huge role. Keep in mind
I went to Mexico with two other guys and we all got the same dose for the
same amount of days and both went back to dope within a few day! s. Since
being home I have seen people take much smaller doses for a shorter period
of tim! e and there doing great. I think for most of us our mentality is
“well
if one is good then two is better and 10 is even better than that” but when
it comes to ibogaine I think its such an individual thing. My guess is most
people who take Ibogaine wont be as gung-ho to take it again but me and
Preston have always been a little off. Wouldn’t you agree Prest?

If the two of you weren’t able to do ibogaine so many
times in a row all at once and decide what was right
for you all by yourself, would either one of you be
where your at right now? Its so cool to see the two of
you especially because you’ve kept writing about
everything as it happens and sharing it 🙂

I’m thinking that everything Howard has said with
taking control of ibogaine back for yourself is a
perfect explanation of what’s happening with everyone
in N! Y right now 🙂

Dear G-Boy,

what the fuck have YOU done for Ibogaine except criticize those who are involved?

Maybe instead of projecting negativity you should pull your head out of your ass, climb down off your cheap ass gilded pedestal and do something positive. Like remove Ibogaine from the schedule 1 list. That would keep you busy for the next, oh… say 30 years, at best.

http://www.maps.org

Greetings, MAPS members and friends! It continues to be a busy and

productive summer as we move forward on projects in progress and on those

still in the “visionary” stage…

1. MAPS launches lawsuits against DEA/HHS/NIH/NIDA for obstructing MAPS’

medical marijuana research efforts

2. Harvard Medical School IRB reviewing MDMA/cancer anxiety protocol

3. Latest MDMA Literature Review Update is posted

4. Dr. John Halpern hopeful to win NIDA grant for MDMA risk study

5. MDMA/PTSD study progressing smoothly

6. Baltimore Sun reports on MDMA psychotherapy research and MAPS

7. MAPS returns to Burning Man!

8. Warming up the presses to reprint two MAPS-published books (and the

latest MAPS Bulletin)

9. Raffle for next MindStates conference, Oaxaca, Mexico, Sept. 15-21

10. MAPS fundraiser and party set for Oct 1 in NYC

And the details:

1. MAPS launches lawsuits against DEA/HHS/NIH/NIDA for obstructing MAPS’

medical marijuana research efforts

In the 18 years since it was founded (in 1986), MAPS has never been

involved in a lawsuit, either as plaintiff or defendant. As of July 21,

2004, this is no longer the case. On that day, MAPS, Prof. Lyle Craker,

and WoMan’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana founder Valerie Corral filed

lawsuits against DEA and against Health & Human Services/National

Institutes of Health/National Institute on Drug Abuse for obstructing

medical marijuana

research. The lawsuit accuses these federal agencies of “unreasonable

delay” under the Administrative Procedures Act for 1) failing to rule in

over three years on Prof. Craker’s  application for a license to establish

a MAPS-sponsored medical marijuana production facility at UMass Amherst,

and 2) failing to rule on Chemic Laboratories’ request to import 10 grams

of marijuana from the Dutch Office of Medicinal Cannabis for MAPS and

CaNORML-sponsored vaporizer research, submitted over a year ago, and 3)

failing to rule on Chemic Laboratories’ request to purchase 10 grams of

marijuana from NIDA for MAPS and CaNORML-sponsored vaporizer research,also

submitted over a year ago. A number of newspapers have favorably covered

the case, as well as the scientific journal Nature. For copies of the

lawsuits, links to media articles and more information, go to

<http://www.maps.org/mmj> .

2. Harvard Medical School IRB reviewing MDMA/cancer anxiety protocol

The McLean Hospital Institutional Review Board (IRB) is currently

reviewing the MAPS-sponsored MDMA/cancer anxiety protocol, to be conducted

by Dr. John Halpern. On August 16, we submitted a lengthy reply to the

questions we were asked to address after the IRB reviewed the protocol for

the first time at its July 28 meeting. We believe we can successfully

address all the issues that were raised.  The protocol will be reviewed

again at the IRB meeting to be held at the end of August. To read the

protocol, go to www.maps.org/mdma and look under the “Clinical Research”

section.

3. Latest MDMA Literature Review Update is posted

The second major update of the MAPS MDMA Literature Review was posted on

July 16, 2004. This was prepared for the McLean IRB’s review of the

MDMA/cancer anxiety protocol, and covers MDMA research from January 2003

to July 2004. The risk/benefit ratio still seems quite favorable for

clinical research exploring the therapeutic use of MDMA.

The MDMA Lit Review page is at

<http://www.maps.org/research/mdma/protocol/litreview.html>. The MDMA

literature database and archive is also now supported and housed within

MAPS web bibliography (http://www.maps.org/wwwpb) and selectable by

choosing “MDMA Literature” on the pulldown menu.

Reports now added to the MDMA literature database include studies in

Ecstasy users, a host of new rodent studies, including some that question

assumptions about MDMA neurotoxicity, and a few studies of Ecstasy user

demographics. Summaries for two human trials of MDMA are now posted

alongside the abstract and text of two recently published human studies of

MDMA.  One study

<http://www.maps.org/sys/w3pb.pl?mode=show&type=summary&s_id=7> (Lamers et

al. 2003) examined the effects of 75 mg MDMA on skills such as attention,

reaction time, visual search and other skills related to driving a car,

and the other study

<http://www.maps.org/sys/w3pb.pl?mode=show&type=summary&s_id=8> Farre et

al. 2004 looked at what happened when a second dose of 100 mg MDMA was

given a day after an initial 100 mg dose.

To check out the latest additions, you can click on “What’s New” at the

top of the Bibliography page, or you can go to www.maps.org/w3pbu.pl,

select the type of information you want to check up on and the time period

(as in “the most recent in this week” or “the most recent in the past

three months”.

4. Dr. John Halpern hopeful to win NIDA grant for MDMA risk study

Harvard researcher Dr. John Halpern is hopeful to receive a two million

dollar grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to conduct

an MDMA neurocognitive study that MAPS helped to start. Dr. Halpern scored

in the upper 15% of applications and is likely to receive funding, but we

won’t

know for sure until October. This study, focusing on neurocognitive

changes in MDMA users, is part of MAPS’ efforts to be at the forefront of

research into both the risks and the benefits of MDMA. A paper reporting

on preliminary findings was published in the August issue of Drug and

Alcohol Dependence, along with a commentary on the paper by Lyvers and

Haskings, and a final reply by Halpern et al. To read these articles, go

to www.maps.org/w3pb and search for the authors’ names.

If Dr. Halpern does receive this NIDA grant, it will be the record for

MAPS’ leveraging its own funds to obtain outside funding (in both cases

from the US government).  In addition to providing the crucial link to the

subject population, MAPS has donated a total of $12,546.20 toward Dr.

Halpern’s  MDMA neurocognitive research project (which doesn’t count staff

and volunteer time). If this yields a $2 million grant, it will represent

slightly more than $159 dollars obtained for every $1 dollar MAPS

invested. MAPS’ previous record was a donation totaling $10,000 to Dr.

Donald Abrams for medical marijuana research,  which eventually, after 5

1/2 years and much staff time, yielded a $1 million grant, also from NIDA,

for the first study of the medical use of marijuana in over 15 years.

This represented $100 dollars obtained for every $1 MAPS invested.

5. MDMA/PTSD study progressing smoothly

Dr. Michael Mithoefer’s MDMA/PTSD study is going very well, with six

subjects already enrolled. On August 10 the Data Safety Monitoring Board

(DSMB) reviewed the study’s data and procedures, and determined that the

study should proceed as designed. Also on August 10, the IRB sent a

monitor to review the study procedures, with the monitor finding a few

things needed to be more formalized but overall was quite satisfied.

6. Baltimore Sun reports on MDMA psychotherapy research and MAPS

On Sunday, July 25, the Baltimore Sun ran a front page article about MDMA

psychotherapy research and MAPS, ending with a quote from George Ricaurte

about how MDMA could become an FDA-approved prescription drug! You can

read the article at <http://www.maps.org/media/baltsun72504.html>.  A

correction to the article was published later that week and can be read at

<http://www.maps.org/sys/nq.pl?id=82&fmt=page>.

7. MAPS returns to Burning Man!

MAPS staffers and volunteers are returning to Burning Man this year to

help provide psychedelic emergency services for participants. We are

bringing an

excellent team this year, including Michael and Annie Mithoefer, the

co-therapists for the MDMA/PTSD study. We will report on our efforts in a

future edition of the Bulletin.  A report on last year’s Burning Man

project can be found at

<http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v13n2-html/v13n2_bman.html>.

8. Warming up the presses

We are about to send the new edition of Myron Stolaroff’s The Secret

Chief, titled The Secret Chief Revealed, to the printers. We expect to

have the

book available in September. We’re finally able to use The Secret Chief’s

real name, Leo Zeff, and have included photos, contributions from two of

his children and testimonials from some of the people he trained and

treated.  Also on the way is a new edition of Karl Jansen’s Ketamine:

Dreams and Realities, with a new introduction by Karl, which should be out

shortly after The Secret Chief Revealed.

Also in the wrap-up phase is the autumn edition of the MAPS Bulletin, a

special themed issue on the topic of Kids and Psychedelics. We will send

this to press in the next week or so and you should receive it near the

end of September.

Hullo Gboy … always a pleasure to read your insights and thoughtful input…

That’s pretty exciting and all, but — conveniently — it has a very short
answer: yeah, and, so…?

If I wuz Lord Digital of LOD, well … good for me.  If I started MindVox
with Bruce in ’91, well … good for us, and, YOU.  Since it seems to
provide an audience/podium where you choose to share your “thoughts.”

Whatever I want to focus my attention on is really my bid’ness ain’t it…

Thanks for sharing; in the future please keep in mind that when I want
your opinion, I’ll give it to you.

With warmest regards, we return your attention to the regularly scheduled
programming.

<Flipping through Episode Guide>  Ohhhhh!  Man Smoking Crack has Psychotic
Break @ 10PM EST (Earth Time), followed by: “Hello…  I’ve done ibogaine
HCl 347 times in the last year.  I am…  no longer bangin’ dope, however,
I have started to glow in the dark and levitate.  Is this a normal
side-effect?”  That should be neat.

No ibogaine. none. i rest my case, Nothing hits for

the best one for ibogaine from that kron story with
the deborah and patrick show which everyone keeps
copying, had the perfect title to it ‘the cure for
addiction: a nation shrugs’.

That says it all, why does everybody contribute
time and art and all to mindvox, because peeps are
out for themselves. what does dave hunter write in
his art pieces that go out in erowid, to lord digital
and howard, what do all the h4xors who end up here
because of mindvox say about it on other forums,
‘the ibogaine promotional service formely known as
mindvox’ there isnt some huge crowd of peeps keep
loading this because of ibogaine, they all come here
for mindvox and mr. american badass lord digital,
every link into this place except for mebbe 20 in all,
is for mindvox not ibo. all those people who see
everyones art and writing here are loading mindvox
not looking for ibo and you run the 24 hour a day
ibogaine commercial instead.

All you do here patrick is run the Howard lotsoff
fanclub while peeps who have been helping others in
the underground for years get no props for it. They
show up for mindvox, the whole front picture does
nothing except load up a big ibogaine plant and dump
everybody into right here and the howard lotsof show
you dont even post here patrick.

its all bs, everybody is only out for themselves,
if any of you wanted to help ibo so much then patrick
why dont you and fancher, the other 2 people in mindvox,
get your parents to write a check. combine all their
money together and all your parents are worth more then
a billion. dont see any of them doing anything for ibo,
I dont see any of your partners in mindvox care about ibo
either. or dont write a check, only put a story in the
village voice, it ran alot of stories about mindvox, it
should, fancher’s dad started the paper with norman
mailer. get norman mailer to write a story. no never,
why not? nobody cares, they load mindvox and get ibo.

had a wonderful opportunity to take Ibogaine for more days than most in
Mexico and then truly blessed with the opportunity to go again when I got
back home 9 days out BUT 1/3 of the full dose I was getting in Mexico. I was
still getting residual withdrawals when I got home and I feel that second
dose was the real flush. However, thats not to say that if I got home and
there was no second opportunity that it would have made much of a difference
when it came to staying clean. I was willing to go thorugh whatever I had to
becasue I was almost suicidal before I left for mexico. Ibogaine is NOT a
magic pill it is simply a tool and intention plays a huge role. Keep in mind
I went to Mexico with two other guys and we all got the same dose for the
same amount of days and both went back to dope within a few day! s. Since
being home I have seen people take much smaller doses for a shorter period
of time and there doing great. I think for most of us our mentality is “well
if one is good then two is better and 10 is even better than that” but when
it comes to ibogaine I think its such an individual thing. My guess is most
people who take Ibogaine wont be as gung-ho to take it again but me and
Preston have always been a little off. Wouldn’t you agree Prest?

If the two of you weren’t able to do ibogaine so many
times in a row all at once and decide what was right
for you all by yourself, would either one of you be
where your at right now? Its so cool to see the two of

At risk of sounding like I’m making an obviously statement Carla, NO, I
wouldn’t be where I am right now.
I’d still be enslaved for lack of a better term, miserable and trying to
pretend otherwise, waking up and going to sleep each day thinking blackness
and suicidal thoughts, unable to even imagine, much less envision a future
of any hope or aspirations. Things seem much different now.
Peace and love,
Preston

but the
hard part comes after what happens next month or in
two months when the ibogaine wears off totally.<

I gotta admit that I’m deathly afraid of one thing in particular- when V
gets in a pissy, catty, “I’m an angry redhead” mood. I hate fighting with my
loved one, A LOT. I get very upset by it, and can immediately feel like
using from that sort of stress, which kinda sucks in that I love her more
than anyone in the world and don’t plan on not being with her for hours upon
hours of every single day- so it’s something that’s been on my mind,
particulary since we’ve already had one or two very brief flashes of it
already.
I mean it, there’s almost nothing I hate more than fighting with V. It
really can affect me deeply, along with life’s other hurdles, so I’m hoping
and praying (again, if that’s what one should call it) that I can figure out
how to react/act in ways that won’t sabotage myself/ourselves.
So thanks for the reminder Carla.
Peace and love to all,
Preston

That’s a great explanation Callie 🙂

What was a really interesting point that Curtis bought
up is ibogaine on demand. That expression has been on
and off here for years but something I have noticed in
everyone who has made it for a long time after
ibogaine and kept going and people who do it and then
don’t for some reason is that part exactly.

I keep looking for what the difference is between
someone who made it and when I started staying clean
my role model was Patrick because he was so messed up
and there isn’t anyone I showed what he wrote to, who
said that someone like that could ever stay clean. I
thought if he could do it then it has to be possible
because he is doing it.

Then there have been so many people here over the
years who come and go and  if I think about what the
one’s who have lasted have in common is, what Patrick
wrote is really true it is all belief. When Preston
writes about what he’s going through and where
anything is going in the future and how to keep that
going, that’s true for me too.

I’m not all into doing ibogaine as much as some who
are here are, I am thrilled with everyone and it is so
neat to see people who have their lives back but the
hard part comes after what happens next month or in
two months when the ibogaine wears off totally.

My opinion is that from the people who I have seen
last, as different as they are and how much or little
they are messed up, what the ones who have in common
is exactly what Curtis wrote, they somehow have access
to ibogaine whenever they need it, or know they can
get it any time they want and that gives some kind of
mental edge to everything.

That’s what Howard keeps saying also, taking control
of ibogaine for yourself. Nothing ever is given you
take it and that applies to how you keep going and
also ibogaine I think. What separates the people I
know who have kept going from the ones who didn’t, is
they aren’t asking anyone else if its a clinic or
treatment or anything, what they can or should do and
they’re not taking it by anyone else’s rules except
their own rules.

What it has in common is they have access to ibogaine
on demand 🙂

Patrick I love the People page, LMAO 🙂 Add
alchemist’s lane that is a awesome title for what
everyone is doing 🙂 Maybe also what Steven suggested
which is adding a place for ibogaine group meetings
🙂

It’s so cool to see everything going forward and keep
growing.

Love to everyone here and especially all the people in
NY right now who have taken control of ibogaine for
themselves 🙂

well. We  understand
without having to say anything at all.
I have seen only a couple of arguments but what

It shows that they are true blue!

Hi Marcus I don’t think this is the right page I
bookmarked KeepingClean a long time ago so I put
People into that place and it opens the same way but
the page isnt really there it rewrites the line in the
browser somehow, I think the same way Keeping Clean
turned from one page into Steven Anker’s section, the
People part already loads more pages but not yet from
the front.

Sooner or later there is going to be people freaking out watching loved
ones in an Ibogaine session and not know what to do.<

V and I had a lovers’ spat tonight, and later while discussing it she
reminded me that not only did she go through a fairly stressful time
watching me on ibogaine, making sure everything was and stayed ok, but she
also suspects, as do a couple of people she spoke to about it, that she is
and has been feeling ibo vibrations- hence she too can be and is a bit on
edge, even with all the glow and wonderment and joy we’ve been and are still
experiencing.
And boy, I am loving post-ibo for the most part- I feel very fit and
trim and going strong.
At the same time, I wish my provider would take a look at the liver work
I got done though, even if I did pick it up later than planned. According to
a friend who took a look at the tests I had done, it appears that the Hep C
isn’t doing much at all to my liver, in that all counts seem to be anywhere
from moderately to drastically low.
Cool, huh? Wonder if the ibo had anything at all to do with it. I need
to get a viral count done too though, and that will cost me more than I can
currently afford after all the money I went through recently.
;-)))
Peace and love to all,

Howard wrote, “It is just not possible to conceptualize the effects of
Ibogaine before experiencing it.” I read this and I know it has got to be
true. I have been checking out the list and getting all the background on
Ibogaine that I can find since last Sept. in preparation for my own
treatment. My treatment date is in Oct. but it seems like next year. I know
for myself just interacting with the people here in preparation has already
changed my outlook on life and my priorities. I’ve been protecting a guinea
hen on the nest with a 20 gauge shot gun for the last couple of weeks at
night. That pretty much sums up my life for me. I want to help and protect
people. Us. We got to watch out for ourselves. That brings me to what I
wanted to say in a beat around the damn bush kinda way. Seems that there are
going to be a lot of people doing Ibogaine at home since the government is
forcing us underground. Wouldn’t some kind of Ibogaine hot line be in order?
Sooner or later there is going to be people freaking out watching loved ones
in an Ibogaine session and not know what to do. Forgive me if I’m out of
line but it wouldn’t be that hard to have people on line somewhere 24 hours
a day. Even just in a chat room or something. After my session I’ll help,
but I think experience is the key here. Just a thought.   Thanx  Randy

Hello MAPS members and friends,

You are invited to a very special  benefit event in New York City on Friday,
October 1st at Alex Grey’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, which will have just
opened to the public on Sept. 22 (www.alexgrey.com

). There will be two parts to the event–an intimate dinner with a series of
talks Alex Grey and by leading psychedelic researchers, with a group photo
by light painter/photographerDean Chamberlain
(www.deanchamberlain.com),followed by an all-night themed dance, The Body
Electric, named in a tribute to Alex’s art and MAPS’ research agenda. You’re
welcome to come to both, or just one.

The dinner event will start at 6:30 PM. GIVE ADDRESS OF THE CHAPEL We’re
asking for a $100 donation per person to MAPS which also includes a ticket
to the all-night dance (current MAPS members also get a second ticket to the
all-night dance). This would be an excellent opportunity for MAPS members to
invite friends who may be interested in supporting MAPS to come to the
dinner and/or dance and learn much more about what we have been
accomplishing lately.  At 7 PM, Alex will give a talk about his art and show
people around the Gallery (signed art will be available for purchase). We’ll
have dinner and then at 8:30 PM, we’ll have short talks by Dr. Michael
Mithoefer (Principle Investigator (PI) on the MDMA/PTSD study), Dr.  John
Halpern (PI on the MDMA/cancer anxiety study MAPS is in the midst of trying
to get approved at McLean), Dr. Charlie Grob (PI on the ongoing
psilocybin/cancer anxiety study- this is a Heffter Research Institute
study), Valerie Mojeiko (MAPS staffer who is coordinating our ibogaine
outcome study), Brandy Doyle (MAPS staffer who is coordinating our Rites of
Passage projects and our psychedelic emergency services project at Burning
Man and elsewhere)  about parents who create opportunities for psychedelic
experiences for their kids, and vice versa)]   and Rick Doblin (MAPS’
strategic overview). About 9:45 PM, photographer Dean Chamberlain
(www.deanchamberlain.com) will take a group photo.  This ends the evening
event. MENTION LAURA HUXLEY EVENT AND LINK TO THE PHOTO FROM THE EVENT ON
THE WEBSITE. RSVPs and advance payment are required for the dinner.

At 10PM, doors open for the all-night dance, for which the theme is The Body
Electric. We are asking everyone to become a MAPS member at whatever
membership level they choose, either $35 basic, $50 basic plus, $100
supporting, $250 patron, or $20 low-income/student. Current MAPS members can
come for just $20, with a limited number of $15 tickets available for
low-income/student members. The dance is limited to 250 people and RSVPs and
advance payment are strongly encouraged. Most of the same group of speakers
will talk again starting about 10:15.  We’ll have DJs, one or two bands, a
quest finding images from Alex’s art, and bodywork till about 7 AM.  We’ll
have free water, juice bar, [OUT ALREADY SAID bodywork available], a
chill-out space, and breakfast. R

That’s the basics! You can RSVP/purchase  tickets/donate through the MAPS
website and indicate in the final dialogue box that it is for the Body
Electric event and specify which part(s) you plan on attending, or you could
just send a check to the MAPS office at 2105 Robinson Ave, Sarasota, FL,
34232, or contact Valerie at 941 924-6277 or at valerie@maps.org

We hope  to see you in NYC!

Howard wrote, “It is just not possible to conceptualize the effects of Ibogaine before experiencing it.” I read this and I know it has got to be true. I have been checking out the list and getting all the background on Ibogaine that I can find since last Sept. in preparation for my own treatment. My treatment date is in Oct. but it seems like next year. I know for myself just interacting with the people here in preparation has already changed my outlook on life and my priorities. I’ve been protecting a guinea hen on the nest with a 20 gauge shot gun for the last couple of weeks at night. That pretty much sums up my life for me. I want to help and protect people. Us. We got to watch out for ourselves. That brings me to what I wanted to say in a beat around the damn bush kinda way. Seems that there are going to be a lot of people doing Ibogaine at home since the government is forcing us underground. Wouldn’t some kind of Ibogaine hot line be in order? Sooner or later there is going to be people freaking out watching loved ones in an Ibogaine session and not know what to do. Forgive me if I’m out of line but it wouldn’t be that hard to have people on line somewhere 24 hours a day. Even just in a chat room or something. After my session I’ll help, but I think experience is the key here. Just a thought.   Thanx  Randy

I
was pretty sick about 8 to 10 days but piece of cake after that.<

I could NOT do it on my own (kick the dilaudids) no matter what other

I was pumping into myself when outta dilaudid, even when I had enough

lying about the place to keep the “real” sick away, I’d still be

There are a lot of different ways to stay clean,
I didn’t even get clean with ibo I did it more
then a year after I already cleaned up. I wish
I knew about it back when I did get unsprung
but I did not.

The most interesting thing to me being brought
up is how big a difference it can make to have
access to ibogaine on demend when you need it
in a week, a month whenever you need it instead
of having to pay some huge price at a clinic. I
am not knocking the clinics I am sure Mash has
huge overhead so don’t start up Patrick 😉 and
I am not knocking Mexico, but I don’t want to
pay for anyone’s research study at st kitts or
support some  staff of people at Mexico, I’d
rather get myself 10 doses of ibo for that
price or 25 at Mash’s price 🙂

Pass the ibo 🙂

Hello dear Howard,
Would you say that one is better than the other,..in your experience.
Maybe by having the whole plant with all it’s alkaloids is
better,..considering that
the whole plant may have substances that are not yet known by man ?

Just a thought,..a question,most definitely not a statement.
What do you think?

Hello Preston,
In my experience NA just makes me want to use.It has not and does not work
for me.

The only counceling that I have received any benefit from is Gestalt
counciling,although I am sure there are others also that work
well.A councilor that knows about Ibogaine would be fantastic.

I’ve felt all that so many times but taking
my own directions and doing what I wanted hasn’t ever worked for me, which
is where the 12 steps are right so far. Does it change after ibogaine?<

Well, my own perceptions about myself and things in general are very
different now, post ibo.
I’ve made my very first appointment to see someone, a counselor, who
is
specializing in post-ibo, or at least, picking up on a few of us here in
NYC
(I think) who are post ibo. I have never been into the idea of rattling
off
my thoughts to strangers in a clinical setting (online in email or face to

change
for me, going in to see this woman (Barbara Judd as a matter of fact,

Weird.
So yeah, it seems to have change…although I think I’ve said that a
few
times now already.

Hi Robert, It is hard to figure this ‘place’ out at first but it is very special and actually I don’t think it important to try and figure it out.
There is a bond here between us all, even the folks who just read and never post. We are all alike and understand each other so well. We understand without having to say anything at all.
I have seen only a couple of arguments but what family or group doesn’t argue a bit. I think arguing or disagreeing is very important in relationships. It shows that they are true blue!
I really hope you Keep coming back and will share or debate if we can eventually agree to disagree!

yahoo destroyed all the settings when they did another upgrade with
netappliance 🙁 How is hushmail for everybody who is on it here? I need
to switch, I don’t care if I pay $30 or what the price is.

That’s the right email address, it takes Patrick months or even years
to answer his email 😉 I think he has a lot of it. Mindvox has been
here forever. From what I’ve seen here in the years I’ve been reading,
I don’t think Patrick exact way works for anyone but Patrick and maybe
Dave Hunter and could be Preston. The most crazy 🙂 The part that I
think works for anyone is having enough belief in yourself, which is
what Patrick said in all that.

So sorry if this goes through twice yahoo is not
working too well tonight 🙁

I really to be honest find this place more useful for
clearing my head and finding people to talk with then
anywhere I’ve ever been. It’s like a cross between a
temple, information network I don’t even know what
it’s been said better then I can say it already but it
is full of people from all over the world who don’t
say they’re not judgemental but really aren’t! I’ve
never found that before. I have been here almost since
it started but way back then it was not this huge
group like it is now it was much smaller and ibogaine
wasn’t everywhere like it’s starting to be.

What I read and even looked up are the articles
Patrick was writing for Heroin Times when he first got
clean. I asked that someone collect them and put them
online yearssssss ago and after 2 years or so Patrick
finally got around to it 😉

http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/Articles/HeroinTimes.html

I love them because they are written while he is
getting clean for the first time ever in his life and
it’s so cool to watch this unfolding and happening for
two years. What it starts filled with is so much rage
and hate from somebody who is obviously so smart and
sooooo mad.

http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/KeepingClean.html

What I am saying is both you Patrick who are a walking
anti 12-step group all by yourself and Dave, did write
a sane article about how to get the most out of the 12
steps. The two of you did this and I give both of you
so much credit for that, you especially Patrick
because you admitted you couldn’t do it because you
never found anything good about the 12 steps so you
did it with Dave!

Thank you very much for your answer Sean, that was well put! by the way it’s Roberta or Bobbie, not robert!

What I found so amazing is that it’s full of doing everything your own way, which is what the 12 steps teach isn’t possible. What I’m reading here is that it is possible after ibogaine. It’s like this whole wave happening here and its so infectious! I want to to try it soon. Its like everyone is thinking about how to keep the wave going I almost believe it is possible.

Is the person who wrote that still clean? There’s no email listed, that magazine called Heroin Times when I search for it died last year, putting Patrick Kroupa into a search engine lists these

http://www.nndb.com/people/552/000025477
http://deadpool.rotten.com/occupations/unspecified.html
http://www.namebase.org/xkri/Patrick-Kroupa.html
http://www.kiblix.org/eng/lecturers/patrick.htm

A famous people database, some ugly thing where they place bets on when someone will die, a book on hacking, everything else is computer hacking, security, heroin, ibogaine, a lecture on encryption, a ibogaine tv show from 2004. No email I can find except everything leads back to this place. Mindvox started in 1991? I didn’t know the internet was here in 1991.

I tried digital@phantom.com and get nothing. This person posted here in the last week, how do I ask a question? If thats the right email no one responds to it.

My question for him or anyone really who has done ibogaine and stayed clean, do you have to keep doing it or do you do it once and that’s enough to stay with it? I think I’m asking questions that might not have a answer and everyone is different. I am reading the links from Mindvox and looking through the sites.

If nothing changes, nothing changes, dig?:)

I do 🙂

Hi Robert,

I am an NA dropout.  I tried it on and off for twenty years before deciding that NA was simply not for me.  What I got from the material you are discussing is that you have to believe in whatever it is you are doing to stay clean will keep you clean.  An AA actually told me this.  In his not so humble opinion AA can never work if the AAer does not have faith in the program.

I do not have faith in the program.  The 12 steps feel to me like visiting someone else’s church.  Nice for you, but ain’t my thing.  Except I was there to save my life, so I stuck around.  Stayed clean for two years, relapsed ten years ago…used until last week when I tried ibo.

The point?  I have to believe that something will work to keep me clean.  I see ibo as part of a healing and maturing process for me. I am a 39 year old man with HIV and HepC.  If I keep smoking crack, shooting heroin and drinking, I won’t live to see much of my forties.

So I am ready to change. I believe that ibogaine is an essential part of that process. I am also in a very introspective form of therapy called Internal Family systems. On Friday I am going to a post ibo support group.  I believe in these things as helpful and or essential in my process of change, of staying clean.

But most of all I am believing for the first time in myself.  And I think this is really they key.  I don’t have to believe in 12 steps (again great for those they work for), I don’t even believe ibogaine is the “cure” for my addiction.  I believe in me and my healing.  I believe also in the people on this list who are making incredible changes in their life which I have witnessed in the brief time I have been here.

Without a desire to change, though, and a belief in myself and the healing tools around me, I a’int never goin change.

If nothing changes, nothing changes, dig?:)

Sean

I’ve felt all that so many times but taking
my own directions and doing what I wanted hasn’t ever worked for me, which
is where the 12 steps are right so far. Does it change after ibogaine?<

Well, my own perceptions about myself and things in general are very
different now, post ibo.
I’ve made my very first appointment to see someone, a counselor, who is
specializing in post-ibo, or at least, picking up on a few of us here in NYC
(I think) who are post ibo. I have never been into the idea of rattling off
my thoughts to strangers in a clinical setting (online in email or face to
face in friendly settings sure, but clinical? Yuck!). So that’s a big change
for me, going in to see this woman (Barbara Judd as a matter of fact,
tomorrow afternoon.
Weird.
So yeah, it seems to have change…although I think I’ve said that a few
times now already.
Peace and love and best of thoughts to you Roberta.
Preston

The

ay…..I detoxed off Dilaudid in 1986 with Clonodine patches and Valium. I

I could NOT do it on my own (kick the dilaudids) no matter what other drugs
I was pumping into myself when outta dilaudid, even when I had enough ms’
lying about the place to keep the “real” sick away, I’d still be craving,
sweating, itching, retching, cramping, shitting, etc, etc, until refilling
the dilaudid scripts.
Now though, well, you understand.

Hi Callie,

No, the whole thing was just a joke with a pic to make people laugh.  I
believe that laughter can be the best medicine.  Hey, no side effects unless
you have some broken ribs, then it can hurt to laugh.

But seriously, if I was a doc I think I would like to have you on my staff.
You have spent a lot of time helping people on this site.   You also give
good advice and many times offered to help people.  I think this site helps
MANY people.  For example, look at the experience of the people on the site.
You have all kinds of drug users that used to use or are using drugs or
trying to find a way to stop using drugs.  Where else can you ask a question
and get the truth?  Where else can you ask a question and a person will say
don’t try that, I did and it messed me up or did this or that?  Ya can’t go
to the government for an honest answer they will run something like Refer
Madness on ya.  Besides the truth about drugs, you get a lot of people
offering support and wishing you well.  I think going through this site is
far more supportive than than any NA or OtherA meeting.  We have many people
from different w! alks of life with varying viewpoints and while people
sometimes disagree usually respect and understanding is shown.  Me, I like
to make people laugh, I was one of the best class clowns.

Thanks for writing Callie and please continue to do what your doing for I am
sure you are appreciated by many.  Several times you have gave me food for
thought.  But if you really want to be a doc I think I will start the Jim
Hadey Internet Doctor School.  For $250 you get a list of books to read, and
we will use the honor system.  When your done you get a M.D. diploma printed
out personaly on my Lexmark printer, and for another $25 you get a pad of
scripts with your name, address and phone number on it and we’ll even get
you a DEA number.  You can say good bye to the met clinic and write your own
Rx.  But when I was talking to my doc I asked what would you take for severe
pain and we talked a little and he told me that a doc can not write out a Rx
for himself if it is a controlled substance.  A doc in Florida said the same
thing only he said that it can not be for a schedule II drug.  But you can
make the scripts out to me and we! can split, whatya think?

What kind of Doctor are you?  <<<  I would say compassionate and
understanding.  I would be cool but within reason.  For example, why have a
person on methadone when you could give him something, anything, that is
eaiser to kick.  He or she would be better off coming to me once or twice a
month and getting their met than at a clinic.  They would be allowed to keep
their dignity and not have to jump through hoops or worrying about having to
pee clean or lose their take home priviledges.  I would also be able to take
care of any other medical problem they may have like high blood pressuer,
heart problems, etc.  I would like to think I would be decent and
understanding and open minded.  But, as you know, it is hard with the DEA
breathing down your back and the HMOs rejecting everything, even thou they
are not there and now nothing about the case.

Take care,

– JIM

When the term iboga is used it is generally applied to mean the plant
Tabernanthe iboga or a total alkaloid extract of the plant.  Ibogaine is a specific
alkaloid found in the plant that has been purified and identified as effective
and proposed as the principal active ingredient in the plant.  There have been
iboga and ibogaine related fatalities.

Ibogaine is the active ingredient that makes change possible where it was not
probable before.

There are no guarantees but, as you can see from this list a lot of people
are sitting up amazed.  It is just not possible to conceptualize the effects of
ibogaine before  experiencing it.

Dear Callie,
Iwould say the sight that Howard gave me acouple of days ago on the list.Thank you for your experiences.I wish there was someone here that would prescribe Dilaudid.

I am tossing up whether to go to Mexico or Italy to do the treatment.The good thing about Italy is that I have a good loving environment with my daughters family that I can stay with.

working too well tonight 🙁

I really to be honest find this place more useful for
clearing my head and finding people to talk with then
anywhere I’ve ever been. It’s like a cross between a
temple, information network I don’t even know what
it’s been said better then I can say it already but it
is full of people from all over the world who don’t
say they’re not judgemental but really aren’t! I’ve
never found that before. I have been here almost since
it started but way back then it was not this huge
group like it is now it was much smaller and ibogaine
wasn’t everywhere like it’s starting to be.

What I read and even looked up are the articles
Patrick was writing for Heroin Times when he first got
clean. I asked that someone collect them and put them
online yearssssss ago and after 2 years or so Patrick
finally got around to it 😉

http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/Articles/HeroinTimes.html

I love them because they are written while he is
getting clean for the first time ever in his life and
it’s so cool to watch this unfolding and happening for
two years. What it starts filled with is so much rage
and hate from somebody who is obviously so smart and
sooooo mad.

http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/KeepingClean.html

What I am saying is both you Patrick who are a walking
anti 12-step group all by yourself and Dave, did write
a sane article about how to get the most out of the 12
steps. The two of you did this and I give both of you
so much credit for that, you especially Patrick
because you admitted you couldn’t do it because you
never found anything good about the 12 steps so you
did it with Dave!

I wanted to say that I agree with this! I’m not any kind of expert at drug addiction except I’ve been addicted to drugs for a long time and NA has never worked for me. That’s not completely true it has kept me more together at diferent times but somehow so much of what it fills my head with makes me feel worse about myself instead of better.

I still don’t know what to make of this whole site and everyone who is here but there is so much kindness without judgement and nobody talks about it they do it instead. I haven’t found that before I gues comunnity is very important so thank you to everyone here.

Hi Callie,

No, the whole thing was just a joke with a pic to make people laugh.  I believe that laughter can be the best medicine.  Hey, no side effects unless you have some broken ribs, then it can hurt to laugh.

But seriously, if I was a doc I think I would like to have you on my staff.  You have spent a lot of time helping people on this site.   You also give good advice and many times offered to help people.  I think this site helps MANY people.  For example, look at the experience of the people on the site.  You have all kinds of drug users that used to use or are using drugs or trying to find a way to stop using drugs.  Where else can you ask a question and get the truth?  Where else can you ask a question and a person will say don’t try that, I did and it messed me up or did this or that?  Ya can’t go to the government for an honest answer they will run something like Refer Madness on ya.  Besides the truth about drugs, you get a lot of people offering support and wishing you well.  I think going through this site is far more supportive than than any NA or OtherA meeting.  We have many people from different walks of life with varying viewpoints and while people sometimes disagree usually respect and understanding is shown.  Me, I like to make people laugh, I was one of the best class clowns.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

Hi Julian,

Well as you know I am now a doc, don’t worry – no charge.  Hmmm…… I don’t know what the problem is but look at the odds.  How many people did Ibo, how many died?  Compare that to how many got shot for being in the wrong place at the wrong time or robbed or shot? Or hep C or HIV, etc. etc.

The odds are on your side.  Of course this is just my opinion.

Later good buddy,

Good Morning Howard. I am not writing you on this subject matter. I am supposed to be doing the Ibogaine today. Now, all of a sudden, the people wish to speak with me face to face about ALL the health risks involved. Now, I think this is very responsible but even after I spoke with you on the phone and with Eric, I am getting the feeling there is something I am not being told re: the effects (physiological) of Ibo. I don’t think I am being paranoid.

I specifically remember you saying more people die from methadone and after research I discovered this to be true re: many of the drugs on the market. I was under the belief that there were only 4 KNOWN deaths after Ibogaine use. 2 were due to their using narcotics at the same level pre ibogaine thus ODing would be expected and the other two were cardiac related, one had surgery, the other was heart disease.

I really do appreciate the concern on their part but what the fuck is the big deal? What does Ibogaine do to the body that is so intense that you must be in great shape to do it. My EKG showed something I had been asked about when I had my amputation and my motorcycle accident. They asked me if I ever had a heart attack. I told them I had no idea but it certainly could be possible during my crack days. There were times I got so obsessed with chasing that high that I did it so much in a night, day after day that maybe I had one but didn’t know. Also, I am a diabetic with controlled blood sugar now and my blood pressure was 140/90 before I began medicine. Now it is normal. These are my health issues. Is there really need to be concerned with all the shit I have done and will do?

If my health issues never arise under other circumstances, why now with Ibogaine? I understand they do not wish to be responsible for a tragedy but we had already discussed this. They wish to still discuss this crap ad nauseum. Please be honest and objective, not a total, super Professional obligated to quote the status Quo medical disclaimer. Should I be worried?

Thanks Howard,
Julian

P.S. Anyone else may reply of course but I needed someone who has alot of medical knowledge/experience obviously.

ay…..I detoxed off Dilaudid in 1986 with Clonodine patches and Valium. I was pretty sick about 8 to 10 days but piece of cake after that. Stayed clean 6 months in NA then relapsed for the last time….not stopping opiates until 1998 when I got on Methadone. That brings me up to present.
Been talking Ibogaine up at the clinic. Everyone you mention Ibogaine to is so fascinated! I am thinking of having some business cards printed with a few Ibogaine links on them. Which ones do you think have the most information for someone who has never heard of Ibogaine before?

Thanks for writing Callie and please continue to do what your doing for I am sure you are appreciated by many.  Several times you have gave me food for thought.  But if you really want to be a doc I think I will start the Jim Hadey Internet Doctor School.  For $250 you get a list of books to read, and we will use the honor system.  When your done you get a M.D. diploma printed out personaly on my Lexmark printer, and for another $25 you get a pad of scripts with your name, address and phone number on it and we’ll even get you a DEA number.  You can say good bye to the met clinic and write your own Rx.  But when I was talking to my doc I asked what would you take for severe pain and we talked a little and he told me that a doc can not write out a Rx for himself if it is a controlled substance.  A doc in Florida said the same thing only he said that it can not be for a schedule II drug.  But you can make the scripts out to me and we can split, whatya think?

>>>  What kind of Doctor are you?  <<<  I would say compassionate and understanding.  I would be cool but within reason.  For example, why have a person on methadone when you could give him something, anything, that is eaiser to kick.  He or she would be better off coming to me once or twice a month and getting their met than at a clinic.  They would be allowed to keep their dignity and not have to jump through hoops or worrying about having to pee clean or lose their take home priviledges.  I would also be able to take care of any other medical problem they may have like high blood pressuer, heart problems, etc.  I would like to think I would be decent and understanding and open minded.  But, as you know, it is hard with the DEA breathing down your back and the HMOs rejecting everything, even thou they are not there and now nothing about the case.

Take care,

– JIM

I walked out at just before 8 this morning to walk over to Tompkins Square
to work on the aforementioned tv show, and had to get V to bring down the
one painkiller I’d put aside to take to set.
I carried that one dilaudid 4 around in a bottle in my shoulderbag all
day today, for 10 and a little more hours, before I finally had to eat it
due to pain. But I was already home again from set finished for the day,
and
had then taken the subway across the island to get lunch and walked home
from W. 4th to just past Ave A (with a stop by Dana’s to say hello),
BEFORE
I felt it absolutely necessary to take the pain killer.
I’ve had one ms-contin this morning early, and that’s it.
3 weeks ago and a little more I was shooting 30-40 or more dilaudids a
day. And barely if at all feeling them after that first wakeup….which I
don’t do anymore either for the most part, not even orally (although there
have been a couple mornings where I’ve woken up not feeling able to even
get
outta bed due to my leg and back, so had to eat one or the other, or both
a
dilaudid and a long-release-uncrushed- ms-contin together, one each.) This
for me is pretty freakin’ amazing. I’m blown away. I had two unfilled

Dear list,
Wow,I can’t believe that docters are prescribing dialaudid,this is
fantastic.I think it would be a good way to come off methadone.
By taking dil’ for say..,3 months,so by then the (most of) the done is
out of your system,and comming off would be so much easier.(I am not
telling
you anything here that most of you wouldn’t already know.)
I wish docters over here were prepared to do that. I think the
government and medical proffesion here is quite anal concerning addiction
sickness.
Other than that,we have a pretty good system of government and good
docters,it’s just a pity they’re not very open minded concerning
addiction.Also a pity that big business,such as pharm’ companies are so
mega
money orientated.If only……

If I could transfer onto dialaudid for three months,..wow,..not to get
off,but to help get off the done.Although feeling full never goes astray.
I would assume it would not be as stressing to the body to come off
dialauded as it is the ‘done.
Of course no come down is easy,..ay.

Thanks Brad. I too know that feeling of being on meth and feeling (almost) normal and actually I was thinking back last night on my life on methadone and remembered that when I got on my first program I needed to have a special letter from the state approving the treatment because I was only 16 so I’ve been struggling with this for as long as I can remember. That first period on meth was joke and I I just ended up shooting more dope and coke but the second time around maybe 4 years later for me was very different I was tired and I really wanted to stop and I do admit it did the trick for a while. I went back to school and got my shit together but as I look back on it now it was a lie and that (almost normal) feeling eventually brought me right back out because as we both know being on a meth program eventually makes you feel just about the furthest thing from normal especially if you’ve been able to put your life together in o ther areas. Well that was my experience anyway. Good luck and thank you again and be in touch any time.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

What can I say Howard. You had more influence in getting me to this place than anyone. Meeting you last night was probably the best birthday present I could have ever imagined. I just felt walking away last night that everything was happening just the way it was supposed it. Everything coming full circle in a way I could never have believed possible a month ago. Thanks for everything and I’m printing the link and will read and comment when I get home from work.
Looking forward to speaking with you soon. -M.

BTW- I intervened this morning and convinced them to “hit him over the head” as soon as possible. 12:00
I was told that I can’t even be used as a “real” example because anyone whose up and walking around 7 hours after a therapeutic dose or someone who can dose and go to the park and 4 hours later meet for coffee is not exactly a common response and that I’m actually so far in left Field in that respect that I’d be doing someone a disservice by using my own experience as any kind of example.” Your thoughts?
Maybe that was “butt the fuck out” but I got the result I was looking for so I’m glad I did what I did. Or at least I’m hoping I will be happy tomorrow that I stuck my neck out. I might not be his favorite person in the world in a few hours but wait till tomorrow!
But as far as I’m concerned, what on earth is the point in starving it off when you can do it the way its supposed to be done. So we will see.

Dear Mark,

The Dutch ibogaine self-help movement immediately recognized the importance
of an ibogaine community. I guess the Bwiti have also. Charles Kaplan was a
sociologist who observed the Dutch ibogaine community and wrote an early but,
interest article on these matters. See http://ibogaine.org/wellness.html

It was great meeting you and I can tell you I found it absolutely uplifting.
And, happy birthday.

Regards as always,

Howard

Medical disclaimers do not stop civil or criminal actions.  That your health
issues never arise under other circumstances may simply indicate that other
circumstances to not warrant a review of your health status or simply lack of
responsibility in some cases where a review should have occurred.   None of the
autopsies of any ibogaine-related fatality indicated the cause of death.  Two
of the deceased had prior cardiac events or conditions.  A key question is
what did your EKG show.  You should have a report to indicate what it showed.
The fact that you have diabetes and controlled high blood pressure are all
issues.  What does your medical doctor say about your EKG?? Ibogaine is an
experimental medication and its actions not fully understood. Under appropriate
circumstances your ibogaine provider would have you wear an EKG halter to monitor
your heart during a 24 hour period at low dose ibogaine and then determine if
there may be indications not to treat.  On the other hand if you have a cardiac
disorder you should, if at all, only be treated in a medical environment with
the approval of a medical doctor. The issue with ibogaine as with all
medications is not the 999999 patients who will be OK but the 1 who won’t.

I am not a doctor and cannot provide you with medical advice. Ibogaine is a
powerful medication and yes, you should be concerned as to its actions.

Well I think today makes 29 days since I had any dope or meth and it feels great. Its actually my birthday today, which I’ve always hated because it was more a reminder of anything else that I have been addicted for another year. (first did dope on the day after my birthday 12 years ago) But its a new day. I feel like life is just beginning again and life is getting a little better everyday and the only thing that could fuck that up now is by putting any kind of opiate back into my system. I am allergic, simple as that. Break out in detoxes and handcuffs and all that shit. Ya gotta admit some of the little NA slogans are right on.
I slept almost 9 hours last night which was amazing. Still have a few chills here and there and my bowel is still very loose. But it keeps getting a little better everyday and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger and looking better and better everyday.
I can’t tell you all what a difference its made to keep close to the movement and the treatments. I feel as long as I stay connected in that aspect and stay close to the spirit (if you like) I couldn’t imagine ever going backwards.
Good vibes to all and keeping good thought’s for everyone in the pool right now. -M.

***Dear Howard,I have kindly recieved some responses to my
question,”Where
is the best place to go for treatment with Ibogaine”.

You seem to be the main man on this list,I ask you …please,Where do you
think is the best place for someone to recieve treatment and with which
group?

Dear Jasen,

The question you pose is one I rarely answer.  The answer is best left to
those who are seeking treatment.  To read widely on ibogaine.  To question
any
providers they should care to make inquiries of.  You have to best
determine the
risks and benefits of any provider. There are those on this list that will
respond to you and I will have to leave it to that.  I only one of the
most
talkative persons on this list at the moment.

There is a list of some ibogaine providers available at
http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/treatment.htm however, I am uncertain if
treatments are still being
provided in Italy.  If you look into it and get an answer let us know.

There are so many variables and so many possible outcomes in ibogaine
therapy
and that is what anyone seeking ibogaine should understand.  Elimination
of
opioid withdrawal is virtually a given or almost that.  Then it is the
endless
question of what comes after ibogaine.  And that depends very much on whom
is
the patient.  You also have to look at the possibility of general benefit
to
the patient in spite of and beyond any stopping of drug use.  Sorry I
cannot be
of more help.

Good Morning Howard. I am not writing you on this subject matter. I am supposed to be doing the Ibogaine today. Now, all of a sudden, the people wish to speak with me face to face about ALL the health risks involved. Now, I think this is very responsible but even after I spoke with you on the phone and with Eric, I am getting the feeling there is something I am not being told re: the effects (physiological) of Ibo. I don’t think I am being paranoid.

I specifically remember you saying more people die from methadone and after research I discovered this to be true re: many of the drugs on the market. I was under the belief that there were only 4 KNOWN deaths after Ibogaine use. 2 were due to their using narcotics at the same level pre ibogaine thus ODing would be expected and the other two were cardiac related, one had surgery, the other was heart disease.

I really do appreciate the concern on their part but what the fuck is the big deal? What does Ibogaine do to the body that is so intense that you must be in great shape to do it. My EKG showed something I had been asked about when I had my amputation and my motorcycle accident. They asked me if I ever had a heart attack. I told them I had no idea but it certainly could be possible during my crack days. There were times I got so obsessed with chasing that high that I did it so much in a night, day after day that maybe I had one but didn’t know. Also, I am a diabetic with controlled blood sugar now and my blood pressure was 140/90 before I began medicine. Now it is normal. These are my health issues. Is there really need to be concerned with all the shit I have done and will do?

If my health issues never arise under other circumstances, why now with Ibogaine? I understand they do not wish to be responsible for a tragedy but we had already discussed this. They wish to still discuss this crap ad nauseum. Please be honest and objective, not a total, super Professional obligated to quote the status Quo medical disclaimer. Should I be worried?

Thanks Howard,
Julian

as the red wait list tape will allow. Preston, junkie though I am, I gave up

the choice post-ibo not not revert to old patterns. It is almost a consious
decision, at least for me. And as I’ve been repeatedly noting, I’m still

Jon,

Cool- great news!  When are you planning to dose?  I
just received confirmation that my Ibo will be here by
Friday, at the latest, so the weekend is looking great
for me!!  SO excited!!

My methadone doctor is a sarcastic, jaded old fool,
and has COMPLETELY DISMISSED every comment I have made
about Ibogaine, calling it ‘witchdoctor crap’, a
placebo sold by charlatans, etc….ad infinitum.

I can’t wait to (hopefully) prove him wrong.  Based on
my personal experiences, I hope to change a few
people’s minds also.  I’m sure when insulin was
introduced, there were more than a few naysayers,
too…

Good luck, Jon, and drop me a line…..

Hi Preston,

Just wanted to “piggyback” on your comment about ibo being a tool not a cure. I see ibogaine as an integral part of my healing process, but not the “be all and end all.”  Ibogaine has shown me a little bit of heaven, and makes the hell of a using much nastier a choice to return too.

This actually made me think today about the universalist religious position, which is that all souls are saved. A popular counter argument is that this would deny the free will of those who choose hell.  The Universalist reply is that God offers eternity with it’s awesome self, or hell, and let’s the “soul” decide.  Nobody ever chose hell after seeing what God has to offer.  But the choice was always there.

Ibeginagain.

Hey Jonny,

I hope your ibo treatment works for you because you want to get clean. If it promotes the greater cause of ibogaine, great, (and I think it is really great how word is spreading to the professionals) but the bottom line is you will be clean.

And if these folks are at all scientific, if unfortunately your treatment does not “work” the first time out, they will know that one person does not a scientific study make.

On the topic of professionals and ibogaine, I told my shrink that I took ibogaine.  He had never heard of it. After putting it in my chart, he wanted my provider’s phone number.  He was pissed off that I went off my anti depressants for a week prior to taking ibo, and wanted to tell them off for not stopping me from doing so. I explained that that my providers were long gone, and all phone numbers I had are all cut off.  His asst. called that night and asked if I had any contact number, as the Dr. was still very concerned about their lack of professionalism.  So, sadly telling folks in the helping professions does not always have the happy results that you and Preston had.

Pax,
Sean

Did you try and tell him where to look for anecdotal evidence ?………………never mind, his mind’s probably closed and he may be bitter someone’s trying to teach him something he can’t/won’t contemplate. African root ? hallucinogenic ?? ritual purpose usage ??!  ’tis not normal !!!!!!!   I think Ibogaine is up against a lot of this ( type ) of prejudice. Anyway, there’s nothing stopping you Maya, please let me know exactly how things go from pre dose anxiety to ………whatever . I really wish you a great flight……………btw, seeing as though you asked, I’m a percussionist/drummer – I’ll send you a disc sometime.

Preston,

I really enjoyed reading your posts this weekend-
sorry to hear it was a bit rough.

Are you feeling better?  And when you say smoking, do
you mean smoking or SMOKING??  I’m a big fan of the
wacky tobaccy myself…

Friday, at the latest, so the weekend is looking great

My methadone doctor is a sarcastic, jaded old fool,

placebo sold by charlatans, etc….ad infinitum.

I can’t wait to (hopefully) prove him wrong.  Based on

Hey Hi Ho,
I saw my methadone
consultant today – an African guy – and told him all (20 min’s worth) about
Ibogaine and that I was taking the treatment as soon as possible this year.
My drug counsellor who was also there backed me up 100% (I told her all
about Ibogaine about a month ago and she’s been researching it ever
since ) – Now my consultant wants to hear all about my experience and
results with Ibogaine ( when I get to do it ) and wants to pressure for real
testing and trials with the medical ethics board here in the U.K. – he’s
normally quite reserved about venturing off the usual ( useless ) paths of
detox but today he told me to keep him fully informed about my treatment and
if I can confirm the ‘tales of the Ibogaine cure’ he’ll lobby for
development – and he carries some weight in his field. It just shows how
incremental this whole ‘thing’ can be. No one in the clinic had heard of
Ibogaine ’till I talked about using it about a month ago, now the place is
abuzz with it . Jesus H. Smith, I hope My treatment ‘works’ , I feel so
responsible now – I’m so fucking glad to have found this list that feeds my
enthusiasm when it wanes .  Jonny.

I hope so. And they seem to be.
I’ve booked more tv/film work for tomorrow (just background so I don’t do
too much for not that much money, but it’s easy- if one considers sitting
around all day, hurrying up and waiting to go work hurridly for however many
minutes/hour after being on set all freakin day not doing too much- it is
incredibly exhausting actually, and I have always dreaded it- until lately,
now that I know I can do it all day on two, maybe 3 pills total, and even
that’s doubtful) on a new tv show called Joey Zero (or Johnny Zero) which I
also worked on the pilot of- and made Golden Time (LOL, I realized late last
night that’s where I pulled that phrase to describe just-post-ibo yesterday,
from working on set for SAG productions- if I work 16 hours, I get an entire
nuther day’s pay at exactly what I’ve made in the first, meaning all the
over time, time and a half and double time, smoke pay, wet pay, wardrobe- I
almost always get to wear my own stuff, meaning I get paid for that, and I
made damn good money on that set last time, I mean really really good money
for me and how I usually make it- in dribs and drabs), meal penalties if
any, LOL, it could turn out lucrative again- although I could settle just as
well for a quick morning shoot that is over fast. I don’t really enjoy doing
background work much, but I’m more into lately, I gotta say. And as broke
and uninterested right this second on doing much “reporting” per se, I gotta
pay rent.
I also auditioned today for some big national print ad, but we and they
won’t know who they’re picking until mid-Sept, so that’s yet another hurry
up and wait type situation. Still, those ibo gods do seem to be smiling at
me- I am getting a little nervous talking about how smooth or at least cool
things are progressing lately, not wanting to jinx myself or set myself up
for a huge mood/spirit fall when something, as it eventually will, goes all
fucked up and wasted.
Anyway, things are good nonethe less.
Peace and love to all,

Preston,

You are making medical history and your doc can tell patients about ibogaine
as experimental medication.  A key things to do would be to send him/her a
copy of the Academic Press book edited by Alper and Glick, “Ibogaine: Proceedings
of the First International Conference”.  As one of the authors dana can get a
30% discount by placing at order for  you by calling 1 800 782-4927.  This
discount is for authors only.  It is a great book and just the kind doctors
really like, especially when you sign it for him for his good work. I am not sure
if a credit card will be needed or not and it can be mailed directly to you I
believe.

So, I think I mighta just made history- I certainly did for my own
personal history.

I had called my pain doc’s office last week, Thursday or Friday to
reschedule this morning’s appointment, but changed the appointment to
Wednesday thinking I’d still possibly not be up to an office visit this
morning. But not having been able to sleep actually last night (I crashed
pretty hard for a few hours after our park adventure), so I decided to
go out and visit him anyway.

First I saw one of the assistant doctors, who is kinda in training
I think, as she usually ok’s the scripts with my doc before handing them
to me. She came out, grabbed my chart and called me into her office. She
asked
me on the way if it was ok with me to see her or if I prefered to see my
own regular doc.

“I really do need to speak to Dr. M,” I told her, “but to be very
honest, I’d love for you to sit in and hear what I have to say.”

“Why don’t you tell me, and we’ll fill him in when he gets in, which
should be in just a couple more minutes.”

So, I entered her office, and launched into it.

“Um, well, see, I need my pill script drastically reduced, to 3
dilaudids a day and stay at the 2 ms-contins a day, please.”

“But you were on 12 a day? You want to drop to 3 A DAY now?” She was
amazed and very curious.

So me and my big mouth told her all about ibogaine. Not about who was
doing it here in NYC (I told them specifically I wasn’t going to tell them
that part) and that it is an illegal treatment in the US, but not in
numerous other countries, many of which I named. My own doc asked how he
can tell people about it if it’s illegal in the US, but immediately answered
himself saying, “I guess I could just mention it.”

She wrote ibogaine down on the bedpaper cover, NOT IN MY CHART, telling
my doc she’d not entered “ibogaine” on my chart, because, well, it is
illegal.

My doc immediately began looking it up online, first pulling up “Healing
Transitions- detoxing and addiction treatment with Ibogaine” instead of
the NY State Alcohol and Substance Abuse page I tried to get them to visit
first. I also told my own doc about Deborah Mash, mainly because of all
of us, she (I think) has the most credentials and has done copious amounts
of research through the U Miami, if I’m remembering and getting my facts
straight- I also mentioned the Ibogaine Dossier, because there are many
links to legit medical studies, right?

They were both very, very intrigued, obviously impressed with both
my appearance and glee, and were both planning on doing more research. They
neither one ever heard of it, and both asked me why they hadn’t- so
reiterated that it is illegal here, and because it is so difficult to
believe that it works as advertised, it’s hard to get real medical interest
going- but that they could look at me and continue to follow me as usual
and they’d see just how effecting it CAN BE for some folk, like say, oh, me.

on this one) and I’ve been booked for background work on a new tv show
tomorrow during the day, in my neighborhood (I LOVE days like that, as I can
come home and, oh, unwind in the bowl if you catch my drift, and eat in my
own home drinking my own coffee rather than nasty gross set coffee), so I’m
busy, busy, busy.
Have a great day all, and stay well.

So many people advise against doing the session at home, but some do give
good input as to ways of doing it at home.<

In my own case, doing it at home would have been the very best of any place
I coulda picked, and was.
But this is just me- I don’t have a using relationship or even really a
“codependent” relationship beyond the typical “we’re married just not with
rings and papers” type relationship.
I have a lot to keep my mind occupied if I just get off my ass and
follow through.
Therefore, for me, It was the best decision I coulda ever made, to do it
at home- surrounded by loving vibes, my own vibes, my music, and all my cats
and V.
For others that might not be the case, as they might have to escape a
using environment, or relationship or somesuch instance related to this.
Best wishes and luck
Peace and love,
Preston

Subject: Re: [ibogaine] 2nd post ibo 2 report

Why did you take the Ibogaine for 7 (or 8 or 9) days in a row?  I’m assuming
you weren’t taking a full “therapeutic” dose, every day that week, but that
maybe you took the equivalent of 1 or 2 doses, divided over that week+.
Either way, did you take your doses that way because of the Methadone you’d
been taking?  I know Methadone complicates things when switching to
Suboxone. Is that the case with Ibogaine too?

One reason I ask, is I’ve been trying to figure out a way to swing Ibogaine,
yet make sure I make it a beneficial experience, rather than just “getting
some”.  Recently, I had the thought that, assuming I manage to find a way to
go to Amsterdam for a good treatment/experience, I should find a way to at
least get a “test dose”, to do at home, to make sure I don’t get an allergic
reaction to the Iboga.  It would really suck to get everything in place, fly
half way across the world, just to find out I can’t do the therapy, because
of a reaction to the med.  Then I had the thought that maybe I could just
divide the “full therapeutic dose”, into a number of more manageable doses,
for me to take over the course of a few days.

In the couple of contacts I had with Sara, from Sara’s House, I really have
a positive feeling about going over there for the treatment.  I just don’t
know how I can afford it.  Even if it were advisable for me to take the
“full” dose up front, I really feel comfortable at my “office”, at home, and
have a wife that’s an RN, who would be willing to be my “sitter”.  Although
she has never gotten into any recreational drugs, after all the research she
and I have done on Ibogaine, she admits that she’s fascinated enough that,
under the right circumstances, she’d be tempted to try a dose suitable for
“Spiritual Enlightenment”.

For now, I’m just about to do my last line of Oxycontin, and get to go
through those wonderful, clammy, sweaty, burning, etc, withdrawals, followed
by, when I think I’m ready, that nasty old Suboxone.  Don’t get me wrong,
this stuff works great for many people, but I’m not one of them.  I just
don’t like it, and although it takes away a lot of my withdrawals, it seems
to take 3-4 days before most of my discomfort is behind me.  I actually made
it for 5 full weeks, on just the Suboxone, from the end of March, till the
start of May, but never more than 2 1/2 days at a time, after that.  I
really had myself set on Ibogaine being my next treatment, but I just
couldn’t go on anymore; my dosage is now double what it ever was, before
that, and 10 – 80mg Oxy’s a day was bad enough, 20 – 25 a day is ludicrous.
My habit is enough to kill an average family of six, with enough left over
for an uncle or two.

I’m hoping I can last long enough, and get energetic enough, to resolve this
issue of where to do the treatment, and to take the steps to get there.  So
many people advise against doing the session at home, but some do give good
input as to ways of doing it at home.  Now the problem of where to get a
trustworthy supply, with some detailed steps to take (dosing, etc).  I’ve
gotten blood work done, and my liver and kidneys are in surprisingly good
shape, and I will be getting a follow-up/more detailed, set of blood work
done, this week.  I’m going to make arrangements for an EKG this week too,
but I think everything should check out ok.  I really like the idea of
Sara’s House, but just the flight would cost $1,500 – $2,200, which would
really drag out the date of when I could get it done.

Any thoughts/input, is greatly appreciated. Sorry for going on for so long;
I’m just tense because I know withdrawal will be setting in later this
morning.
Charlie

PS: I’ve seen a few people mention that the longer you hold off taking the
Suboxone after quitting your DOC, the greater your relief will be. I know I
wait long enough to avoid the Sub causing me to go into acute withdrawal,
but does anyone think that waiting longer will give me better relief?  I’ve
also heard that if you take the Sub right after stopping DOC, letting it put
you into agonizing, acute, withdrawal, that you’ll get all the suffering
over with, in about 12 – 24 hours, and that you won’t need anything else
after that, because the physical dependence (as far a WD is concerned), is
alleviated within that day of suffering. Even if it’s true, I don’t know if
I could handle it … I’m a real sissy about this kind of pain.

There is no doubt about it, I am determined to change my life in just about

Why did you take the Ibogaine for 7 (or 8 or 9) days in a row?  I’m assuming you weren’t taking a full “therapeutic” dose, every day that week, but that maybe you took the equivalent of 1 or 2 doses, divided over that week+.  Either way, did you take your doses that way because of the Methadone you’d been taking?  I know Methadone complicates things when switching to Suboxone. Is that the case with Ibogaine too?

One reason I ask, is I’ve been trying to figure out a way to swing Ibogaine, yet make sure I make it a beneficial experience, rather than just “getting some”.  Recently, I had the thought that, assuming I manage to find a way to go to Amsterdam for a good treatment/experience, I should find a way to at least get a “test dose”, to do at home, to make sure I don’t get an allergic reaction to the Iboga.  It would really suck to get everything in place, fly half way across the world, just to find out I can’t do the therapy, because of a reaction to the med.  Then I had the thought that maybe I could just divide the “full therapeutic dose”, into a number of more manageable doses, for me to take over the course of a few days.

In the couple of contacts I had with Sara, from Sara’s House, I really have a positive feeling about going over there for the treatment.  I just don’t know how I can afford it.  Even if it were advisable for me to take the “full” dose up front, I really feel comfortable at my “office”, at home, and have a wife that’s an RN, who would be willing to be my “sitter”.  Although she has never gotten into any recreational drugs, after all the research she and I have done on Ibogaine, she admits that she’s fascinated enough that, under the right circumstances, she’d be tempted to try a dose suitable for “Spiritual Enlightenment”.

For now, I’m just about to do my last line of Oxycontin, and get to go through those wonderful, clammy, sweaty, burning, etc, withdrawals, followed by, when I think I’m ready, that nasty old Suboxone.  Don’t get me wrong, this stuff works great for many people, but I’m not one of them.  I just don’t like it, and although it takes away a lot of my withdrawals, it seems to take 3-4 days before most of my discomfort is behind me.  I actually made it for 5 full weeks, on just the Suboxone, from the end of March, till the start of May, but never more than 2 1/2 days at a time, after that.  I really had myself set on Ibogaine being my next treatment, but I just couldn’t go on anymore; my dosage is now double what it ever was, before that, and 10 – 80mg Oxy’s a day was bad enough, 20 – 25 a day is ludicrous.  My habit is enough to kill an average family of six, with enough left over for an uncle or two.

I’m hoping I can last long enough, and get energetic enough, to resolve this issue of where to do the treatment, and to take the steps to get there.  So many people advise against doing the session at home, but some do give good input as to ways of doing it at home.  Now the problem of where to get a trustworthy supply, with some detailed steps to take (dosing, etc).  I’ve gotten blood work done, and my liver and kidneys are in surprisingly good shape, and I will be getting a follow-up/more detailed, set of blood work done, this week.  I’m going to make arrangements for an EKG this week too, but I think everything should check out ok.  I really like the idea of Sara’s House, but just the flight would cost $1,500 – $2,200, which would really drag out the date of when I could get it done.

Any thoughts/input, is greatly appreciated. Sorry for going on for so long; I’m just tense because I know withdrawal will be setting in later this morning.
Charlie

PS: I’ve seen a few people mention that the longer you hold off taking the Suboxone after quitting your DOC, the greater your relief will be. I know I wait long enough to avoid the Sub causing me to go into acute withdrawal, but does anyone think that waiting longer will give me better relief?  I’ve also heard that if you take the Sub right after stopping DOC, letting it put you into agonizing, acute, withdrawal, that you’ll get all the suffering over with, in about 12 – 24 hours, and that you won’t need anything else after that, because the physical dependence (as far a WD is concerned), is alleviated within that day of suffering. Even if it’s true, I don’t know if I could handle it … I’m a real sissy about this kind of pain.

Hi all,
I just discovered the website owned by the publishers of my upcoming
book have linked to my ibogaine story- and this site gets incredibly HUGE
hit rates, so I’m more than pleased. See link below, and check out the rest
of http://www.disinfo.com. Make sure to search out the archives too, as
that’s where you’ll find most of my past work (among the many others who
publish(ed) there) expressly for them, on lots and lots of topics both drug
related and not so too.
Peace and love,

HI all,
A couple things I forgot to metion- I did take a booster at the 24 hour
or so mark, maybe the 20 hour or so mark actually, and took another valium
right after it to help me sleep through possiblely the worst of any motion
sickness- in addition to going ahead and eating one dramamine, since I
hadn’t been any less parched this time around than last.
The other point is that this journey was much shorter, a whole day
shorter, in that I was upright by 3 or 4 for a minute or two at a time, and
then able to walk around for a couple hours in the park today. God it was a
beautiful day too.
Peace and love to all,
Preston

Subject: [ibogaine] ibo 2 report 3

HI all,
Yes, I am pretty good at the ol’ bitchin’ and moanin’.
I’m past the “holy shit what was I thinkin'” stage again now.
I’m now into the Golden Time (My new term for it- V likes it too),
that
ibo afterglow that helps make the world around me so extra beautiful.
So, in a nutshell:

I wasn’t sure I was going to able to do this weekend, but things just
clicked all week, (ibo vibes perhaps?) and I honestly think the ibo wanted
to see me again, just as I did it/he/she.
I dj’d all night Friday night, from 8:30PM until about 3:15 AM,,
(having
gone in way early, too antsy to sit any longer in my apartment, knowing I
could start the ibo at any time.
I did not go to sleep between getting home by 3:20AM and when I first
ate the first of 3 doses (the amounts I’ll report later as soon as I know
what they actually were- I’ve been told of course, but didn’t write it
down-
Bad Reporter!) beginning at 5:39, then at 5:59, and the final portion of
the
main dose at 6:19AM.
As soon as I began to feel the first inklings of ibo buzz, I got
terrified, and very, very “what in the fuck have I done??!! This was
Stupid!
Do I really want to subject myself to this agaIN? Then this voice came up
very clearly saying, “It’s too late, you can’t back out, go with it- it’s
not a fun drug remember.” Very calm, fairly quiet, but definitely audible.
I
began to hear very strange sounds, city/outside my windows sounds, all the
big trucks and things that drive by on Houston St. were making very odd
high-pitched whining sounds that went on for EVER.
Over and over again.
I then got ataxia pretty hard, and the spins.
Last time I ate to dramamines, but was told they were going to dry me
out so regretted taking them, because sure enough I did get very dried out
and parched. But this second time around, again, I got very, very thirsty
and dry mouthed, whether it’s the ibo or the anti-motion sickness stuff I
am
unsure of.
Although I hate the spins and don’t handle boats very well, I didn’t
throw up at all first go-round, but this time, egad! I got S-I-C-K!
Violently retching into the buckets, having to pee but too scared to sit
up
and grab the bucket in case I threw up again. It was pretty hellish.
My idea had been if I take it after dj’ing all night, the kind of
music
I want, not the kind the burlesque dancers and the audience thinks they
wanted- (because it usually works out that I get all sorts of comliments
throughout the night, and then some blond bimbo-as happened last
night…errr, not last night, night before last, sorry missing time gets
me
confused sometimes- comes up with a sickly sweet “aren’t I so FAKE” smile,
saying, “I’m here with a girlfriend whose b-day/anniversary/whatever the
hell the stupid reason is wants to hear some 80s hits! Puhlees play us
some
80s hits. We wanna dance.”
Meanwhile, I’m dancing my ass off behind the dj booth, all freakin’
night, so whenever this happens,  or at least in the case of last night as
sometimes I will be in the mood for some kinda 80s hit (although I
suspecct
my idea of a “hit” isn’t always what these bimbo/bubbleheads are thinking
of) I get really like, “80s hits suck ass, and I won’t play them- I know
every single song I’m playing tonight from beginning to end, so
forgeddaboud
it.” Then give a big warm smile to let her know I do care, just not about
80s hits.
So anyway, I primed myself with the music all night, preparing to go
into ibo again.
I thought I’d simply fall asleep easily having been upright, dancing,
and having to be on top of running the music for the burlesque dancers,
and
run the sound for the pre-burlesque band (which was actualy very good –
called Saint Eve, a local goth/industrial like band- and holy shit I WANT
their dj’s cd set up. He’s got those cool DC mixers that flat out make me
drool lately) as well as all the night music during non-show moments,
well,
you can imagine I was prettttttty tired by the time I got home. I spent
the
nearly 2 hours waiting for V to arrive so I could drop thinking, “should I
just go to sleep and do this later today instead?” LOL, yeeeah, I’m a drug
fiend through and through, so that wasn’t ever really very seriously
considered- it was though, but in one of those passing sort of ways. V got
home, I dropped.
As noted, I got a lot of aural hallicinations, but began taking
valiums
to help me sleep fairly early, (3 total during initial ibo) as soon as I
felt I could keep one down after vomiting. (I managed not to throw up the
ibo though, according to my provider- he think even a couple hours would
be
cool, and I managed to hold it in for at least 4.)
What I did NOT get were any visuals really- I mean, right now I’ve got
all the vivid amazing trails happening off everything wether they’re
moving
around or not, but I didn’t really get the holodeck this time. I really,
really wanted to, but again, as a fiend I did not want to wait longer
between times and wanted to reexperience some of what I did the first time
round, hoping I could focus better without the terror (which kicked in at
the last moment anyway, as noted). No liquid metal with eyes open, and no
holodeck eyes closed. OR, if I did get those things, the valium helped
deminish them.
No, I am not complaining at all.
As someone else noted to me today, “ibo gives people what they NEED,
not
what they WANT,” and I have to say I wholeheartedly agree.
Because as awful and hellish as this last experience was, by this
afternoon, wobbly and weak, I managed to get outta bed and go walk with V
down the Tompkins Square park to visit the Howl Festival, where hundreds
of
local and visiting artists get space along side the fense surrounding the
park to do whatever they wish artwise (some absolutely brilliant stuff
too)
as well as vendors selling everything from sausage (yuck) to vegan food
(believe it or not, I had my first ever VOLUNTARY soy milk, in a
berry-banana smoothy) and everything in between like music (I bought a
really fucking cool cd today called Australie Didgeridoo, with 24 of the
most weird, funcky, eerie music ever. It’s actually quite beautiful in
part,
and very primitive and dark in others- reminding me in some ways of Afrian
chants and the like- there’s even a story about the first didgeridoo
inside
the front cover that says at one point- Welcome to the time of Dreaming-
how
APT is that? Very, that’s rhetorical all) and clothing and all sorts of
other goods that I didn’t want or need to buy so didn’t.
;-))
So, was it worth it to do it again so soon? Definitely. Did it work
out
the way I’d hoped and really wanted? Not at all, not DURING the voyaging,
but certainly everything I was hoping and asking for afterwards is
definitely happening now.
I have already made the firm decision that I am not doing this again
for
at least 6 months to a year. No Sooner. (I know, once again, remind me of
that in 2 months when I begin saying, golly gee you know what I want to do
again? Ibogaine!- Please.)
So I hope this fills in some blanks somewhat, or at least, fills in
something for someone. It is certainly very helpful to me to put all this
out into the public realm for feedback and countering opinions too.
Oh, and btw, just for those who smoke POT, Jack Herer pot is flat out
AWESOME. Get ahold of some (yeah, I’m conspiring here) and smoke it/eat
it/vaporize it right away. It is honestly magical pot that anyone I’ve
smoked some with has about fallen on the floor in amazement and glee,
always
profusely thanking me- which isn’t really necessary, because what’s pot
for
but to smoke others out with?)
Ok, I think I’m finished for now.
Peace and love to you all, and may the powers that be bless us all,
Preston

***Dear Howard,I have kindly recieved some responses to my question,”Where

You seem to be the main man on this list,I ask you …please,Where do you

group?

Dear Jasen,

The question you pose is one I rarely answer.  The answer is best left to
those who are seeking treatment.  To read widely on ibogaine.  To question any
providers they should care to make inquiries of.  You have to best determine the
risks and benefits of any provider. There are those on this list that will
respond to you and I will have to leave it to that.  I only one of the most
talkative persons on this list at the moment.

There is a list of some ibogaine providers available at
http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/treatment.htm however, I am uncertain if treatments are still being
provided in Italy.  If you look into it and get an answer let us know.

There are so many variables and so many possible outcomes in ibogaine therapy
and that is what anyone seeking ibogaine should understand.  Elimination of
opioid withdrawal is virtually a given or almost that.  Then it is the endless
question of what comes after ibogaine.  And that depends very much on whom is
the patient.  You also have to look at the possibility of general benefit to
the patient in spite of and beyond any stopping of drug use.  Sorry I cannot be
of more help.

Howard

Hey Preston,

Props for taking another trip so soon.  I was told that fruit is really the
best thing while getting back to food, so stick the melons and berries. It’s
so damn clear that you want to change your life man, and you’re doing it.  I
was thinking of dosing again next year, maybe in Holland.  I found the
dosing itself so unpleasant that I couldn’t imagine going again so soon.
You are one brave dude!

***Dear Howard,I have kindly recieved some responses to my question,”Where
is the best place to go for treatment with Ibogaine”.

You seem to be the main man on this list,I ask you …please,Where do you
think is the best place for someone to recieve treatment and with which
group?

There are a lot of curious list members who would certainly like to
find
how powerful and effective 18-mc may be.

And yet it seems we are not going to find out any time soon, maybe never?

Why couldn’t this nifty little substance play an important role in
aftercare?  Say,
once the initial treatment was done, a once a day (or once a week, month)
pill
keeps every one up to snuff so to speak.

I think that 18-mc’s developers are thinking in terms of treatment and
aftercare.  Why go for have the loaf?

Ann,

I can’t say what Glick and Albany are about to do but, was just commenting on
what would be a normal approach to development.  As for the Ibogaine
Traveling Circus I am certainly impressed and anticipate it will move ibogaine
political development and possibly availability to the fast track one way or another.
Hopefully there will be no catastrophes. What it indicates is that people
who need ibogaine are not going to wait for government or the medical community
to obtain an important medication.  Which by the way is more or less the topic
of my presentation at the Ibogaine session during the Harm Reduction
Conference:  Broadly titled, Returning Control of Ibogaine to Drug Users. Something
that appears to be happening.

Hello Jasen. Thanks for your response to my letter and in my opinion, based on your geography and desiring a reasonable cost, I would go to Sara for treatment. If you write her on this forum, she will tell you her number and address. I am going to her for my 2nd treatment in a couple of months (or whenever I get my passport). I spoke to her on the phone and her vibes are so great! I had spoken to several people and to be honest I had no problem with any of them. Most of them charge quite a bit even though they do not believe it. People in all forms of treatment always remind you how much money you spent getting high so isn’t their treatment worth it? It is a ridiculous argument in reality. In concept of course it is valid, but in reality, most of us if not ALL are no longer doing the (usually illegal) things we did when getting high to hustle up our bread! When I started meth and no longer hustled, I was so fucking broke all the time, because I had no money anymore! When getting high I was broke but not because I had no money, but because I was spending all of it on getting off! Anyway write Sara and speak with her!

Good Luck man,
Julian

So yeah, my plan is to wait another 5 or 6 weeks and then do a full therapeutic dose one last time and my main reason is that I feel like I was really close to going to that next level, it was as if I could reach out and touch it but I couldn’t get there.

Because money IS a problem, and until they have enough to do a trial, they never get to the part where they submit the protocol and FDA approves it, even though all indications are that the major objections of FDA/NIDA have been overcome. I don’t believe Glick’s patent extends to Australia anyway, although the issue of theft of intellectual property might come up. But I assume this would be a guerilla, not a commercial, enterprise–so it wouldn’t matter. And then there’s the issue of withholding the cure in time of plague.

Oh Preston… So I guess the idea of being a little more familiar with Mr
Iboga didn’t work out the way we thought it would. Kicked my ass the second
time too but only for an hour or two but I think you took more than I did
the second time round not to mention for whatever reason it was never a laid
out on my back for days kinda thing for me after the first 9 hours of so all
I wanted to do was be outside. But we both know how much it varies from
person to person. Well if you need anything I’ll be home this afternoon and
tell Vanessa that as well.
I like the idea of waiting another 4 weeks or so and then one more visit and
I think after that it’ll be years, if at all. I like the idea of being of
sound mind and body and going to that place again. I have a feeling it will
be that much more insightful because the ibogaine doesn’t have the same
focus as it did and neither will I.
A wise man told me right before my first therapeutic dose to not make any
decisions about ibogaine until you’ve slept, even if only for an hour. That
turned out to be the best advice I got when it came to the experience
itself… other than the blink your eyes thing, which was from the same
source. Maybe I’ll need to remind myself of that again but in the meantime
try and hold off on the V’s as long as you can and wait for that natural
sleep to come on. I’ll be keepin a good thought for you.
Call me if you need me.  -M.

Wonder if the Cures Not Wars folks are planning anything special for our republican guests to the grimy apple.

Ibonauts have the run of the ground floor of 9 Bleeker during the period leading up to, and during, the convention. We will be responding on a daily basis to happenings around the city. Look for us today and tomorrow at Howlfest, tomorrow night at Bloomberg’s mansion, the “Yippie tea party,”  next Saturday at the Green event in Washington Square Park, Sunday at the United for Peace and Justice March, the hiphop march against the Rockefeller drug laws, and the Harlem rally the last day of the Convention. We will be at all of these with tables full of ibogaine literature, tapes, melatonin samples, etc.

In addition, we will be throwing a benefit at 8 pm the last nite of the convention, at St. Marks on the Bowery, with two comedians giving a running commentary on Bush’s speech. Proceeds go to establish the Yippie Museum at 9  Bleecker. An article is about to come out in the NYTimes detailing how cures not wars, working with the National AIDS Brigade, got the building.

It is important for this list to support cures not wars, which is registered with New York State as the north american affiliate of the Sacrament of Transition, a lay religious brotherhood duly recognized by the interior ministry of Slovenia (former Yugoslavia). We need a longterm presence in the Village at a place where people know to find us.

Yeah, Julian,

not nearly alone my friend.
I too am pretty fucked up at times.

Preston, let me ask you something. I remember when I was in jail and didn’t
have meth for a few days, though I was sick, it was easy to orgasm. In fact
when I lied in bed, I would just come like a wet dream. Is this why your sex
life is better now or is IBOGAINE itself affecting a change within you? If
you’re not sure why you’re ‘healthier’ maybe Howard can answer this. I’m
specifically interested not in the psychological differences in your life
post Ibo but rather the biological/pharmacological differences from Ibogaine
if there are any.

One last thing Preston. I am happy for you as well as
envious(not jealous) you have a great woman in your life. I think, for me,
one of the most important things if not the most important is love and how
that manifests in your relationships. Right now, it seems the only person(s)
I really love are my daughters. That’s fine but I need a woman to love and
be with. Sex is….well suffice to say I haven’t been with a woman I love or
even like in,(I can’t believe I’m saying this but I guess I need to get it
out, it’s festering in me like cancer…it really hurts!) 7 years. I feel
like a fucking virgin again. I still need to orgasm two to three times a day
which is not bad for my age and drug ingestion but loving and being intimate
with a woman? Nothing! Maybe it will change after Ibogaine next week but for
some reason, unless the ‘trip’ deals with this aspect of my life, I doubt
anything will change. SHIT! I sort of wish now I didn’t say anything. I’m
feeling like everyone is thinking I am really fucked up but of course no one
would ever say that. People will say they understand and relate etc. but
they can’t because it seems like everyone or almost everyone is either
making love to friends or has a person they love and is intimate with them.

Fuck it. If you could just let me know about ibogaine and your
sexual drive that would be great. Love your woman like you do, it’s really a
fantastic thing to have in life.
Julian

Hello Sean,
Ibogaine is not legal in Australia,..I don’t think.
I am prepared to go to another country,..say..Africa, the states Mexico.I just don;t know which is the best place to go for treatment.

I am hoping that someone could tell me where the best place is.I can get the money together and I have a passport which is current.I am prepared to go within the next 10 days.I just don’t know where to go.Where would you suggest? How did your treatment go?Is it as good as I’m hearing.

I cried with happiness and hope when I read about Ibogaine,
I have been asking for guidance for some time now.I feel this is my answer. Is it really that efficient?

Thankyou so much for your response.
May the angels of light keep guiding you to health and happiness.

It is illegal to bring IMPORT ibo into Australia, but legal to extract and purify it from the local equivalent of tabernanthe iboga. The concentration is less–something like 1%, and there’s alot of other alkaloid content you have to separate it from…but if yr going to do that, why not just make 18 MC?  Kuhn of U. of Vermont did it for Glick. Much safer–no bradycardia, or sigma or NMDA neuro-toxicity, plus a less serotonergic metabolite, so that you don’t come “down” as much when you come back to normal.

We need a good chemist. Some one from Australia on the list? Then again, you’d have to do a public campaign, as was successfully done by the Green Party Drugs Group in Britain, to stave off prohibition.

For me, it was excruciatingly boring, not to mention

their life. I noticed in NA there are always the
‘talkers’, and they seem to get the most out of it.
However, if you are a ‘listener’ rather than a talker,
I couldn’t understand how you could attend these
meetings and not feel so low that you want to top
yourself.

NA is the shore upon which human debris washes up.
Just my opinion, not the seed gospel.

YHI lal,
An hour or more later now, and I’m feeling remarkably chipper, although
dreained, with serious back pain and being incredilby rfucked up still.

I’ve propped the blackout blanket back from one window, dug out one of the
Mickey Hart cds we have (or rather V did for me) and now I”m upright in
front of myu computer, partly just to post stuff still fresh on my mind, and
more to relieve the agony in my badk.
So< I think if I ever do find myself in a position where Ibogaine taking
seems like a good ides _ at this point that point is going to be FAR OFF- I’
m going to stick to dramamine. Supposeddly m,y provider wasn’t happy6 first
time around to find I’d taken dramamine a sit was going to really dry me
out- but I no longer agree with him.
THe stuff I ate for anti-nausea Saturday morning at 5:19, along with the
fist of three capsuals, (the measurements I’ve forgotten for) did nothing
whatsoever at keeping me from much ovomiting- though V did tell me I had
managed to keep it in for more than 4 hours, which I’ve IM remembering
correctly means that I did get all the ibo in me- whew, I think.
My visions were not clear at all, especially compared to last time. I
don’t remember much of anything elarly except how MISERABLE i felt- AGAIN,
for those of you considering doing this, I do highly recommend it with
caveat- It Ain’t a FUN drugs, at least not for until I’ve got a day or three
between me and the actuyally “Holy shit I’m a tripping right the hell outta
my boody now and it hurtsa nd suckis and mkaes e dizzy and not so happy at
all I think” state of being.
I mean, right now it’s been 29 and a ahalf hours apparximately since I
took the three big does caps, then only about 8 hours since my booster.
I’m still incredlyb messed up, with problems seeing and foscusing, but
at the same time I have this driving urge to get up and walk around outside-
I just knkow if I can ‘make it down the stair, much less back up all those
flight to the 5th floor.
Egad, that doESN’t sound like too much fun.
I’m no longer nasueas at all.
I am still tripping very, very hard.
I hate to admit it, but those who suggested waiting mighta been right-
but then again, it’s still early and I am SURE I* am getting something outta
this- other than an upset tummy and all.
I’m already eating canataqlopes again but not much else, a little
berry-berry fruit juice smoothy type thing, but that is it.
I’ve already climbed outta bed and smoked a cigertee.
ARRGHGH!!!
I really wannagot outside but I’m a bit not ready, say.
Peace and love and please forgive myu lax spelling schecking as I just
acnnot be bothered fi4rht now.
Peace and ove again, cause I realy do mean it.
Preston

Oh Preston… So I guess the idea of being a little more familiar with Mr Iboga didn’t work out the way we thought it would. Kicked my ass the second time too but only for an hour or two but I think you took more than I did the second time round not to mention for whatever reason it was never a laid out on my back for days kinda thing for me after the first 9 hours of so all I wanted to do was be outside. But we both know how much it varies from person to person. Well if you need anything I’ll be home this afternoon and tell Vanessa that as well.
I like the idea of waiting another 4 weeks or so and then one more visit and I think after that it’ll be years, if at all. I like the idea of being of sound mind and body and going to that place again. I have a feeling it will be that much more insightful because the ibogaine doesn’t have the same focus as it did and neither will I.
A wise man told me right before my first therapeutic dose to not make any decisions about ibogaine until you’ve slept, even if only for an hour. That turned out to be the best advice I got when it came to the experience itself… other than the blink your eyes thing, which was from the same source. Maybe I’ll need to remind myself of that again but in the meantime try and hold off on the V’s as long as you can and wait for that natural sleep to come on. I’ll be keepin a good thought for you.
Call me if you need me.  -M.

Hello Jasen. Thanks for your response to my letter and in my opinion, based on your geography and desiring a reasonable cost, I would go to Sara for treatment. If you write her on this forum, she will tell you her number and address. I am going to her for my 2nd treatment in a couple of months (or whenever I get my passport). I spoke to her on the phone and her vibes are so great! I had spoken to several people and to be honest I had no problem with any of them. Most of them charge quite a bit even though they do not believe it. People in all forms of treatment always remind you how much money you spent getting high so isn’t their treatment worth it? It is a ridiculous argument in reality. In concept of course it is valid, but in reality, most of us if not ALL are no longer doing the (usually illegal) things we did when getting high to hustle up our bread! When I started meth and no longer hustled, I was so fucking broke all the time, because I had no money anymore! When getting high I was broke but not because I had no money, but because I was spending all of it on getting off! Anyway write Sara and speak with her!

Good Luck man,
Julian

I’ve had 3 real close calls. As a child I was brought back from a drowning. Mouth to mouth had just been perfected and the gas man heard my mother scream and he had just been trained. Maybe this is why I love cats so much. 9 lives. I think I have one, maybe 2 left. I’ll make the best of the one I got right now. I’d like to see stats on this tho. I’m sure anyone who has been brought back like that has suffered a certain amount of brain damage.  Randy

can relate to that callie.  About the last thing I would want when feeling like shit is someone hugging me and doing all that bullshit.  Its like making yourself into a victim as far as I am concerned and I don’t want to feel like that at all.  Sometimes I think a lot of people get off on making themselves feel good cos they like to think themselves better than other people.  Theres always someone out there with more problems sort of thing and oh they are so convinced they know best.  Allison

I have several acquaintances who claim a world of good and happiness as a result of going to NA meetings. My boss is a recovering nurse in NA but I am not sure what her drug of choice is/was. She talks ‘program’ talk and cliches a lot.
She and the other folks I know who say they got cleaned up with NA go to a lot of meetings and hang out with mostly other recovering NA success stories. I see it as a kind of ‘social club’.
I have heard speakers who say they were hard core junkies but I think they are few.
I attended AA when trying to clean up years ago. I felt a lot more comfortable with the old alcoholics than the cleaned up hippie types in NA.
They has ‘huggers’ at the door whose duty it was to hug every person that came in!!! That turned me off!!! I did not want some chick with flowers in her hair hugging me or even touching me. I was feeling like shit, confused and sad and mad!
Then to have to walk in front of everyone and claim desire to take the way of NA and surrender……YAY! Everybody clapping and they give you a key chain for Gods sake! Let everybody know you might be operating a vehicle under influence of narcotics! hahahahaha!!
So, I think I said NA is not for me! If I didn’t I have said it now!
If Ibogaine does not work for me I guess I will be a lifetime Methadone Maintenance patient. I can live with that but I sure hope Ibogaine sets me in the right direction!
I do know those Bwiti Gods are going to have their work cut out for them cause I am addict through and through!
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Think I will take a nap.

Thanks for that message.  I haven’t always been peaceful but think I’ve mellowed with experience and years gone by.  I don’t think it should matter how someone achieves what they want as long as it works for them.  My partner as I said before is on his 2nd meth program, is on 85mg a day and no intention of changing it.  I personally hate Methadone so do things differently but as long as you get a result its got to be good.  Better than spending all day chasing something to hit up, playing the waiting game, stressing out and being sick as a dog.  When we were using we were far to busy to work or run a business which got us into heaps of debt and shit.  Theres got to be more to life than that continual circle so I guess whatever works has got to be good.  This list has been really good for my head, reading other peoples messages and all the info about ibogaine.  It makes me feel a lot more positive and makes me think twice before being tempted to relapse into old bad habits.  Allison

hi Allison,

The judgementalness at my local NA meetings certainly didn’t help me.  I’d come back to these looks that said “you naughty boy.”  When I said I wanted to put down the dope and the crack, they kept saying..”we have heard this before form you? Why is this time different?”  If I went in hopeful, I left really discouraged.

Of course in some way the fundamental nature of NA is judgmental, I believe, in that those on meth are still considered “dirty,” and not welcome to participate. NA says it wants to assist addicts become “acceptable, responsible and productive,” but not if they are on the meth.  In that case the addict better shut the fuck up and listen.

I know NA varies from area to area and I have heard better stories elsewhere. These are just my experiences in north Jersey.

Anyway, thanks for your post.  Sounds like you follow the way of the peaceful warrior.:)

what is difference bet Indra and hcl and other forms of tabernath iboga?
in particular, which forms make you vomit less, cleanse thoroughly and see
insightful visions?
versus what?
Thanks,
Mandy

Mandy,

there is NO rule,

you can vomit or not, with both.
you can get insightful vision or not, with both.
you can stop withdrwals , with both.
The extract has all the alkaloides Ibogaine is one of them.
from Tabernanthe Iboga you would need to use a big amount which is
hard to ingest, but you can do it rectally and have no problem ingesting it.
some people will say this and some that, I guess you should try it all
and find out yourself.

I think the best sum up of the 12 steps which is psychotic but funny is
right here

http://www.bushknew.com/
http://www.bushknew.net/
http://www.bushknew.org/

Beside some reporter threatening to implicate mindvox in the “bushian
cover up” is a great sum up of the 12 steps. Look at “exhibit E” in
relation to the other exhibits around it 🙂

It’s written by NA 🙂

Hi I didn’t write this before because I wanted to say
it a little better then I would have when I was about
to head out the door. I know that 12 step bashing is
its own religion especially on here and I want to say
that I have not had a lot of luck with the 12 steps
either except after doing ibogaine the last time I did
it I’ve been clean a little more then a year right
now. Some of the time when I was freaking out I did go
to the groups and once in a while it made me feel
better to have someone to talk to. I would have tried
the smart or rational recovery groups but there aren’t
any here and I am really not all gung ho with recovery
that I was going to start one.

I really to be honest find this place more useful for
clearing my head and finding people to talk with then
anywhere I’ve ever been. It’s like a cross between a
temple, information network I don’t even know what
it’s been said better then I can say it already but it
is full of people from all over the world who don’t
say they’re not judgemental but really aren’t! I’ve
never found that before. I have been here almost since
it started but way back then it was not this huge
group like it is now it was much smaller and ibogaine
wasn’t everywhere like it’s starting to be.

What I read and even looked up are the articles
Patrick was writing for Heroin Times when he first got
clean. I asked that someone collect them and put them
online yearssssss ago and after 2 years or so Patrick
finally got around to it 😉

http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/Articles/HeroinTimes.html

I love them because they are written while he is
getting clean for the first time ever in his life and
it’s so cool to watch this unfolding and happening for
two years. What it starts filled with is so much rage
and hate from somebody who is obviously so smart and
sooooo mad.

What’s interesting is that Patrick you never once do
that about heroin. What you go off on all over the
place is the war on drugs and especially drug
treatment and the 12 steps.

When you end writing though your last 4 articles for
Heroin Times were much calmer and less insane with
hate. You went so far as to write a article with Dave
Hunter about how to make the most of 12 step groups! I
know Dave, you don’t do the 12 steps anymore either
and I understand why and really neither do I, I only
used the groups for support which strangely has
shifted to happening on this group instead.

http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/KeepingClean.html

What I am saying is both you Patrick who are a walking
anti 12-step group all by yourself and Dave, did write
a sane article about how to get the most out of the 12
steps. The two of you did this and I give both of you
so much credit for that, you especially Patrick
because you admitted you couldn’t do it because you
never found anything good about the 12 steps so you
did it with Dave!

What I want to say is I know the 12 steps don’t work
for almost anyone here, not even me, but they did help
me at different times and when I left the groups you
know what I did I really did take what I found useful
there, kept the tools that worked for me and then left
the rest, including the groups themselves.

Which reminds me, Dr. Moraes who is another brilliant
200 IQ junkie who hates everybody, loves you. You
should put this on Mindvox somewhere.

Because of the events of that day, things have changed
a little. Now it seems we have a new “shared enemy”,

already beaten down further than any civilized culture

Wonderful things I have Learned from having been
Fortunate Enough,
to spend most of my Life at the Receiving end, of the
War on Drugs

I am your War Machine, I am your Ghetto Scene

“I Pledge Allegiance to the Drug War
of the United States of America,
And to the Hypocrisy for Which it Stands,
One Notion, Under Czar, Indefensible,
With Incarceration and Injustice for All.”
— (http://www.tompaine.com)

The War on Drugs has taught me that I belong to the
last tribe of niggers on the planet; drug users — an
entire strata of society that it’s alright to
demonize, hate, harass and incarcerate for the crime
of altering my state of consciousness against the
government’s wishes.

Because I am guilty of this crime, I have no rights.
I may be detained, searched without cause,
disrespected, have my property confiscated; and on
that one occasion out of one thousand, that I’m not
fast enough, aware enough, or just tired . . . I will
be sentenced to torture.

Where whatever branch of law enforcement I am subject
to in that particular instance, will throw me into a
cell where I may sweat, shake, vomit, and experience
withdrawal without medical attention.  Apparently this
is okay, because I’m just a junkie, and therefore do
not have basic human rights.

This’ll continue until I get before a judge and any
halfway competent lawyer has the “case” against me
dismissed . . . because almost invariably, the “case”
begins with illegal search and seizure and a violation
of my “rights.”

This is fine, because I’m white and have usually had
access to money; this means I am a better person, and
might be worthy of reasonable legal representation.
Therefore, I will not be joining the hundreds of
people I have personally known, whose fate is to be
ground up by the system, and dumped into prisons —
for the crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong
time.

In other words, a drug sweep, where the local branch
of TNT has a monthly quota to meet, and will shake you
down if you’re unfortunate enough to be the wrong
color, driving the wrong car, or they’re just in a bad
mood.

Obviously, people who use drugs are a menace to
society and should be thrown into prison with an
interesting variety of violent offenders — except, if
at all possible, with longer sentences — because,
after all, the violent offenders just have some issues
and things to work out, the drug users aren’t even
human beings.

There’s nothing more damaging to the entire fabric of
society than a bunch of people who just smoked pot,
descending on a donut shop all at once;  or a heroin
addict nodding out on a couch.

If I want to stop using heroin, it’s okay with the
government if I take methadone — a narcotic
analgesic, far more addictive than heroin, but legal
— although really, I shouldn’t complain; federal and
state regulations for dispensing methadone are
relatively enlightened.  It is not yet necessary to be
tattooed, branded, or relocated to a methadone
maintenance camp, upon admission.

It’s just fine if I take buprenorphine, it’s even a
wonderful idea if I get into a LAAM maintenance
program.  The fact that LAAM may cause Q-T
prolongation, torsades, and kill me, is all right.
Because, it’s legal.  And after all, it’s just another
sedative, it’s not something that’s going to cause any
radical paradigm shift to take place.

Should I ever require medical attention for any period
of time longer than a few hours round-trip through an
ER to have something stitched-up, making it necessary
for me to inform the attending doctors that I am on
narcotic analgesics; I will be treated like human
garbage.

While in the hospital it will take roughly 45 phone
calls, 6 feet of forms signed in triplicate, and 3
days minimum; for them to finally agree to dose me
with methadone at anywhere near the levels I need just
to avoid acute opiate withdrawal — by which time, in
addition to whatever other problem I had that caused
me to enter their facility in the first place, I will
BE in acute opiate withdrawal.

If I ever make the personal choice to stop using
narcotics, the options presented to me will be a
series of medical professionals — touting the latest
miracle-treatments which don’t work;
addictionologists; and other drug experts, who — for
the most part — don’t know a fucking thing about
addiction; never having used any drugs.  They have
however, read a lot of books.

Reading those same books for yourself, will eventually
give you the ability to sum up almost all current
knowledge about the psychobiological causes of
addiction in about two sentences, “we have a lot of
theories, but really, we know almost nothing about
addiction.  We don’t even know why people become
addicted in the first place — when others with the
same genetics, environment, and psychological make-up
do not; or why those who get off drugs, manage this.”

Unless I leave the country and pay ludicrous amounts
of money for it — something which most drug-dependent
individuals have no way of affording — I will be
denied access to the most promising breakthrough in
the history of drug-treatment; namely ibogaine.

For all the smoke and mirrors, game playing, and lip
service paid, to the variety of reasons why ibogaine
isn’t of much interest to anyone — except those who
would like to stop being addicted to addictive drugs
— the bottom line is, it’s a hallucinogen, and
hallucinogens have a plethora of negative
side-effects.  Such as, for instance, the 60’s.  We
don’t want that.

All entheogens are bad.  Entheogens present the
possibility for radical paradigm shifts to take place,
and the user may make some revelatory discoveries
about the nature of their reality.  This is super-bad,
what’s much better is just going to a meeting and
sharing.

Most of the 12-step programs have turned into
something that nearly resembles an interesting parody
of what they originally were — extremely old eastern
concepts for dismantling ego, specifically rewritten
to apply to drug-dependent individuals who are
acclimated to western culture — and become this cult
of eternal powerlessness, where you can participate in
an never-ending circle-jerk of sitting around and
complaining about things; fight an endless battle
against a mysterious disease and never again take any
chemical additives or personal responsibility for your
actions.  Okay, having said that, let’s all go out
into the parking lot and chain smoke, drink coffee and
eat candy bars…  Say, is it time for my meds yet?

If I somehow manage to get off heroin and do the one
thing that actually works — establish or
re-establish, my own connection to spirituality,
cosmic consciousness, God, whatever you’d like to call
it — ingesting my sacrament is against the law.

Entheogens, crack, heroin, alcohol — err, no wait,
not alcohol, alcohol is good for you — it’s all the
same shit; just another drug.  I am once again either
forced to leave the country, or commit a felony every
time I feel a need to go to church.  Apparently I have
freedom of religion so long as my religion involves
hangin’ out and talking about the experience, instead
of actually having it for myself.

The War on Drugs does not work.  It cannot work.  It
is a war against human nature, genetics, evolution,
and the attempt to take away my basic freedom as an
individual to select my own state of consciousness.
Because apparently I am not an adult and not fit to
make these choices; therefore those who know what’s
best for me must attempt to legislate my state of
mind.  This is not fascism, this is simply the
government looking out for my best interests and
ensuring that I am fully vested in whatever paradigm
they wish to sell.

Despite the fact that it cannot work, it’s important
to invest just a few hundred trillion more dollars in
the War on Drugs, because we’re running out of enemies
to hate… that whole entire Cold War thing has sorta
faded away; there doesn’t seem to be an immediate need
to Enforce Democracy in any middle-eastern country;
and the War on Drugs serves to galvanize people, gives
them emotional investment, and presents a clear-cut
RIGHT and WRONG.  It’s important to have a clear-cut
RIGHT and WRONG that doesn’t require anybody to think.
Thinking is dangerous and undesirable.

Besides, we have this theory that the War on Drugs is
“winnable.”  This is obvious to anyone who looks at
the results to date.  There is no lack of drugs,
basically, anywhere.  The number of people using drugs
has not decreased.  While the street price of drugs
hasn’t gone up, the purity levels have steadily risen.
However, hey, we sho’ do got a lotta people in
prison!  In fact, America has more people filling its
prisons, than any other country on the planet.  We
must be doing something very right, this is great…
Especially if you’re in the private prison industry.

In addition to all this, if drug prohibition were
repealed, the economies of entire third-world
countries which are currently propped up by all this,
would suffer a severe blow; perhaps collapsing.  And,
of course, the people who profit by large-scale
distribution of materials — which are essentially
worthless, and have had their value artificially
inflated to being worth more than gold dust, because
they’re illegal — would have to go find something
else to do.  Like, for instance, go get a job, or
enter the slave-trading industry.

Aside from all the noise, we actually have no real
problem with drugs.  They perpetuate the powerlessness
of the poor, they give everybody on all sides of the
issues sumthin’ to do, and perhaps best of all; there
are a lot of people who once had the potential to
effect change, cause paradigm shifts to take place,
and used to be a real pain in the ass — who have
voluntarily taken themselves out and self-destructed,
all thanks to drugs.  What’s not to like?

Hi Callie,

Thanks for those links.  Kept me up till 3:00am reading them, but thanks.  The thing that stood out clearest to from Patrick’s writings is the importance of belief. You gotta believe that God, 12 step, your own better self or will, mystical shamanism, whatever…..without the belief that you can stay clean, you probably won’t.

In my week since cleaning up, I have reconnected with my progressive activist side.
I attended a Life After Capitalism conference last night and attended an anti RNC meeting today.  I know I will end up in the city during the big event next week.:)
Wonder if the Cures Not Wars folks are planning anything special for our republican guests to the grimy apple.

Anyway, I should try to get some sleep.  And yo, Patrick.  Thanks for all your ibo activism.  I relate to you big time.  I failed every treatment modality known to man/womyn,too.  It gave me hope when I read ibo worked for you. I now believe it will work for me.  I am experienced! (cue up Jimmy Hendrix at this point).
Peace out!

Pax,

Hi Jasen,

I would defiantly recommend ibogaine if you really want to change your life.  While I cannot say that all thoughts to use are gone (as some have) I can say that using is defiantly a choice for me today, where two weeks ago I felt compelled to use by an inner demon addict.  The really heavily physically addicted who were just treated have been reporting great results as well in the area of withdrawal.

As for where is best, others on the list would probably guide you best in that area. I hear great things about Sara in the Netherlands; A fellow list member has reported positive things about his experience in Mexico.  Ibo is legal for treatment in Canada, I know, and I believe there is treatment there as well, and in the UK, where it is not legal.  I am sure that now that you thrown out your question you will get more authoritative answers soon.  It’s Saturday night/early Sunday night here in the US;I notice that the list is slower during the late nite/early morning hours generally, and Sat nite especially.  I guess people are out enjoying life, or sleeping.

Hang in there and please post anything you feel may help you.  I’m here for you bro, and you will meet a whole lot more fellow travelers in the coming days I’m sure on the Spaceship Mindvox.

Pax,
Sean

don’t want that.

All entheogens are bad.  Entheogens present the
possibility for radical paradigm shifts to take place,
and the user may make some revelatory discoveries
about the nature of their reality.  This is super-bad,
what’s much better is just going to a meeting and
sharing.

Most of the 12-step programs have turned into
something that nearly resembles an interesting parody
of what they originally were — extremely old eastern
concepts for dismantling ego, specifically rewritten
to apply to drug-dependent individuals who are
acclimated to western culture — and become this cult
of eternal powerlessness, where you can participate in
an never-ending circle-jerk of sitting around and
complaining about things; fight an endless battle
against a mysterious disease and never again take any
chemical additives or personal responsibility for your
actions.  Okay, having said that, let’s all go out
into the parking lot and chain smoke, drink coffee and
eat candy bars…  Say, is it time for my meds yet?

If I somehow manage to get off heroin and do the one
thing that actually works — establish or
re-establish, my own connection to spirituality,
cosmic consciousness, God, whatever you’d like to call
it — ingesting my sacrament is against the law.

Entheogens, crack, heroin, alcohol — err, no wait,
not alcohol, alcohol is good for you — it’s all the
same shit; just another drug.  I am once again either
forced to leave the country, or commit a felony every
time I feel a need to go to church.  Apparently I have
freedom of religion so long as my religion involves
hangin’ out and talking about the experience, instead
of actually having it for myself.

The War on Drugs does not work.  It cannot work.  It
is a war against human nature, genetics, evolution,
and the attempt to take away my basic freedom as an
individual to select my own state of consciousness.
Because apparently I am not an adult and not fit to
make these choices; therefore those who know what’s
best for me must attempt to legislate my state of
mind.  This is not fascism, this is simply the
government looking out for my best interests and
ensuring that I am fully vested in whatever paradigm
they wish to sell.

Despite the fact that it cannot work, it’s important
to invest just a few hundred trillion more dollars in
the War on Drugs, because we’re running out of enemies
to hate… that whole entire Cold War thing has sorta
faded away; there doesn’t seem to be an immediate need
to Enforce Democracy in any middle-eastern country;
and the War on Drugs serves to galvanize people, gives
them emotional investment, and presents a clear-cut
RIGHT and WRONG.  It’s important to have a clear-cut
RIGHT and WRONG that doesn’t require anybody to think.
Thinking is dangerous and undesirable.

Besides, we have this theory that the War on Drugs is
“winnable.”  This is obvious to anyone who looks at
the results to date.  There is no lack of drugs,
basically, anywhere.  The number of people using drugs
has not decreased.  While the street price of drugs
hasn’t gone up, the purity levels have steadily risen.
However, hey, we sho’ do got a lotta people in
prison!  In fact, America has more people filling its
prisons, than any other country on the planet.  We
must be doing something very right, this is great…
Especially if you’re in the private prison industry.

In addition to all this, if drug prohibition were
repealed, the economies of entire third-world
countries which are currently propped up by all this,
would suffer a severe blow; perhaps collapsing.  And,
of course, the people who profit by large-scale
distribution of materials — which are essentially
worthless, and have had their value artificially
inflated to being worth more than gold dust, because
they’re illegal — would have to go find something
else to do.  Like, for instance, go get a job, or
enter the slave-trading industry.

Aside from all the noise, we actually have no real
problem with drugs.  They perpetuate the powerlessness
of the poor, they give everybody on all sides of the
issues sumthin’ to do, and perhaps best of all; there
are a lot of people who once had the potential to
effect change, cause paradigm shifts to take place,
and used to be a real pain in the ass — who have
voluntarily taken themselves out and self-destructed,
all thanks to drugs.  What’s not to like?

Hi Jasen,

I would defiantly recommend ibogaine if you really want to change your life.  While I cannot say that all thoughts to use are gone (as some have) I can say that using is defiantly a choice for me today, where two weeks ago I felt compelled to use by an inner demon addict.  The really heavily physically addicted who were just treated have been reporting great results as well in the area of withdrawal.

As for where is best, others on the list would probably guide you best in that area. I hear great things about Sara in the Netherlands; A fellow list member has reported positive things about his experience in Mexico.  Ibo is legal for treatment in Canada, I know, and I believe there is treatment there as well, and in the UK, where it is not legal.  I am sure that now that you thrown out your question you will get more authoritative answers soon.  It’s Saturday night/early Sunday night here in the US;I notice that the list is slower during the late nite/early morning hours generally, and Sat nite especially.  I guess people are out enjoying life, or sleeping.

Hang in there and please post anything you feel may help you.  I’m here for you bro, and you will meet a whole lot more fellow travelers in the coming days I’m sure on the Spaceship Mindvox.

Pax,
Sean

Hello Sean,
Ibogaine is not legal in Australia,..I don’t think.
I am prepared to go to another country,..say..Africa, the states Mexico.I just don;t know which is the best place to go for treatment.

I am hoping that someone could tell me where the best place is.I can get the money together and I have a passport which is current.I am prepared to go within the next 10 days.I just don’t know where to go.Where would you suggest? How did your treatment go?Is it as good as I’m hearing.

I cried with happiness and hope when I read about Ibogaine,
I have been asking for guidance for some time now.I feel this is my answer. Is it really that efficient?

Thankyou so much for your response.
May the angels of light keep guiding you to health and happiness.
With smiles Jasen. (Australia).

Hey Jasen,

Welcome to mindvox.  I was treated a week ago by a group of guerilla ibogaine activists who treated addicts in the NYC area.  This group is determined to make accessible affordable ibogaine available in the United States where the FDA, beholden to big pharma, has been dragging it’s feet for years.  This group will touch down in another US city later this year. Eventually they plan to wind their way back here.

There’s a shitload of info on ibo at ibogaine.mindvox.com.  I especially recommend the treatment and link section.  And while you are there, treat yourself to the art and images page as well! Maybe another list member can lead you to ibo info in your part of the world.  Do you know if ibogaine is legal in Australia?  It’s not here. But there is always hope.

Hey list,

Can’t believe a week ago I was anticipating my ibogaine treatment the following morning.  Seems like a lot longer.  I have to say that ibo has given me a new lease on life, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with addiction.

The choice to seek ibogaine was in some ways uncharacteristic for me.  I have been of the “skeptic” school for many years now.  I really would have scoffed at the idea that anything which is used by an African tribe in an initiation ritual could do me any good. If it didn’t come out of lab, it was certainly suspect at best.

Meanwhile my addiction spiraled out of control.  I was homeless, jobless and hopeless.  I finally relented and took my parents up an offer to come home and stay with them for a while why I paid bills and went back to my union job on the Jersey waterfront.

At home alone a lot, I spent more time on the Internet than ever before.  I would do odd searches like “compassion for addicts.”  That led me to Cures Not Wars, where I read the Ibogaine book online.

Further research took me to Mindvox. and this list.  I had started work with an Internal Family Systems therapist.  This psychotherapeutic method tries to open you up to the various sub personalities which make up the big system: the self.

I got in touch with a part of me which I had long abandoned, the healer within me. I became more open.  I became determined to try ibo. I remember the last night I used heroin I told my fellow junkies that night about my decision.  They were all for it me, but they were not that bad not, they said, so they were not interested. they also told me about a guy they know who had just been treated in NY who had a grand mal seizure.  He was an alcoholic. Nonetheless, this upped the fear factor a bit.

But follow the healer I did.  I cannot say that my session revealed to me why I used drug in the first place as some on the list have said.  My therapy session five days after ibogaine, however, was the most productive I ever had.  During that session, the real reasons for my addiction became clearer.  I am convinced that without the ibo last weekend, this session would not have happened.

Right now I am enjoying the freedom of life without an active addiction.  I cannot say that at five days I no longer have no desire to get off on dope or crack.  The thoughts are there; or tat least the fear.  I don’t feel invulnerable.

But I can say that for the first time in ten years I have a choice.  I’m not compelled by some inner demon to hit the streets and get off, regardless of the consequences.
I have insight into what drove that inner dopefiend; I even have some compassion for him.

Well, just wanted to get this out and up on the list.  I am so grateful to this list and especially the list member who stuck their neck out to help hook me with ibo.  And it’s been really cool meeting this wild, smart, irreverent, creative, but most of all compassionate group of “junkies.”  What can I say, “thanks?”

Pax,
Sean

Preston, let me ask you something. I remember when I was in jail and didn’t have meth for a few days, though I was sick, it was easy to orgasm. In fact when I lied in bed, I would just come like a wet dream. Is this why your sex life is better now or is IBOGAINE itself affecting a change within you? If you’re not sure why you’re ‘healthier’ maybe Howard can answer this. I’m specifically interested not in the psychological differences in your life post Ibo but rather the biological/pharmacological differences from Ibogaine if there are any.

One last thing Preston. I am happy for you as well as envious(not jealous) you have a great woman in your life. I think, for me, one of the most important things if not the most important is love and how that manifests in your relationships. Right now, it seems the only person(s) I really love are my daughters. That’s fine but I need a woman to love and be with. Sex is….well suffice to say I haven’t been with a woman I love or even like in,(I can’t believe I’m saying this but I guess I need to get it out, it’s festering in me like cancer…it really hurts!) 7 years. I feel like a fucking virgin again. I still need to orgasm two to three times a day which is not bad for my age and drug ingestion but loving and being intimate with a woman? Nothing! Maybe it will change after Ibogaine next week but for some reason, unless the ‘trip’ deals with this aspect of my life, I doubt anything will change. SHIT! I sort of wish now I didn’t say anything. I’m feeling like everyone is thinking I am really fucked up but of course no one would ever say that. People will say they understand and relate etc. but they can’t because it seems like everyone or almost everyone is either making love to friends or has a person they love and is intimate with them.

Fuck it. If you could just let me know about ibogaine and your sexual drive that would be great. Love your woman like you do, it’s really a fantastic thing to have in life.

You know something Jason, that occured to me too- why didn’t I notice any
of
the “apply to speak at this cool conference on any topic you’d like”
notices
that must have gone out and about- right?- but I’m sure I didn’t see one,
unless I accidentially deleted it, which with me is entirely possible.
When Jack Black did his “High Times Investigative Reporter” routine on
Saturday night live a few years ago, my girlfriend V and I were amazed at
how close he came- except I don’t EVER wear tie-die. (NOthing personal to
those who do, but I, myself, don’t. I think I might own something that
looks
vaguely tie-died, but, well, I never wear it.) When he gets to the office
and sets up his tape to play, the one on which he’s recorded the local
politicians discussing who killed JFK and the fi! elds of pot the feds are
growing and keeping just for them, the staff all gather around listening
to
the tape- but no sound comes out. Black stops the tape after a moment,
after
one of the staff something like, “there’s nothing coming out.” He says,
“oh,” or something, rewinds the tape and punches play, again, only this
time
without record. He’s basically recorded over his secret taping of the
politician, and all we can now here is a voice, the staffer who said
“there’s nothing coming out.”
LOL, I myself have not only done similar things (like conduct an hour
and a half interview with DAvid Borden of DRCNet only to discover I was
using a non-working tape recorder and hadn’t taken a single note, or when
I
videotaped Ralph Nader for HT and reached up a few minutes into the
recording and turned OFF the microphone, thinking I was turning it on,
Nuther big LOL- I still got paid for that, amazingly enough) but I’ve done
the SAME thing, recording accidentally over some important interview or
other.
Anyway, peace and love all, sorry this is so off topic.
Preston

peace and Love,
Preston

I have mailed you off list Andy but just wanted to let people know there
are
treatments over here, both medically supervised and not. Aftercare is
something that you can discuss in full with your ibogaine treatment
provider. There are obviously the usual support networks such as NA groups
and NHS group therapy and rehab programs, but also other schools of
psychotherapy, counselling and bodywork that I personally would recommend.
I have been encouraging people to set up a post ibogaine support network
over here but unfortunately it hasn’t happened in a structured way or not
that I am aware of anyhow.

There are a couple of therapists I would recommend who are familiar with
ibogaine and non ordinary states and who would therefore be able to work
more specifically with the ibogaine experience post session. The session
itself usually involves considerable integration work and the provider is
at
hand to help when and as needed following the experience.

I hope this helps

If you want to talk more about this it would possibly be better off list.
Scrutiny exists over here as well!!

I have several acquaintances who claim a world of
good and happiness as a result of going to NA
meetings. My boss is a recovering nurse in NA but I
am not sure what her drug of choice is/was. She
talks ‘program’ talk and cliches a lot.
She and the other folks I know who say they got
cleaned up with NA go to a lot of meetings and hang
out with mostly other recovering NA success stories.
I see it as a kind of ‘social club’.
I have heard speakers who say they were hard core
junkies but I think they are few.
I attended AA when trying to clean up years ago. I
felt a lot more comfortable with the old alcoholics
than the cleaned up hippie types in NA.
They has ‘huggers’ at the door whose duty it was to
hug every person that came in!!! That turned me
off!!! I did not want some chick with flowers in her
hair hugging me or even touching me. I was feeling
like shit, confused and sad and mad!
Then to have to walk in front of everyone and claim
desire to take the way of NA and surrender……YAY!
Everybody clapping and they give you a key chain for
Gods sake! Let everybody know you might be operating
a vehicle under influence of narcotics! hahahahaha!!
So, I think I said NA is not for me! If I didn’t I
have said it now!
If Ibogaine does not work for me I guess I will be a
lifetime Methadone Maintenance patient. I can live
with that but I sure hope Ibogaine sets me in the
right direction!
I do know those Bwiti Gods are going to have their
work cut out for them cause I am addict through and
through!
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Think I

I have seen many people benefit from NA…I being one of them….it is true however that there are certain members who feel that there is only one way to do things…the truth is that they are still scared of themselves and of drugs…however many benefit from the NA format by realizing that they are  not freaks of nature, that there are others who have done some crazy stuff and are ashamed and tired of repeating negative patterns…personally the NA meetings taught me how to express myself, how to share myself with others and how to deal with issues as they arise instead of burrying them away….however after 2 years I did find that i was not gaining anymore and moved on to other things….(my harm reduction views never really fit in the format LOL)..for some it can be boring and uncomfortable but if you have no other choice or funds for treatments (especially in the US…Im proud to be Canadian!!!)…then NA is quite an important staple for supporting a considerable amount of addicts every year! It cerainly isn’t for everyone though! For those on methadone…you can still attend meetings!!!! The only requirement is the desire to stop using, right? The only way to change thoughts is to fight them! Stand up for yourselves and your needs!
Hope you all find peace within yourselves and in your environments
Val 🙂
ps…for those seeking ibogaine treatments don’t give up! It’s out there and the universe will connect you with it when you are ready!

Sean,

I hear you about NA.  Don’t get me wrong- for some
people it is the final straw, their redeeming hope.
For me, it was excruciatingly boring, not to mention
exceedingly depressing, listening to people
pontificate on the smallest, most pointless details of
their life.  I noticed in NA there are always the
‘talkers’, and they seem to get the most out of it.
However, if you are a ‘listener’ rather than a talker,
I couldn’t understand how you could attend these
meetings and not feel so low that you want to top
yourself.

NA is the shore upon which human debris washes up.
Just my opinion, not the seed gospel.

Maya

Do you think most or a lot of us have OD’S and are still lucky to be here.  I did it having a bath, nice hot water and cruising after work, my partner gave me a shot and the next thing I know hes standing me up by the fire rubbing me with a towel and my daughter is looking at me like really scared.  Thats a guilt trip I will have to carry for ages.   \Allison

I wish I had some magic words for you, I think OD’s are pretty common, especially amongst ‘casual’ junkies.  I still have a hard time when I think about how selfish I acted, I still feel shame over those things.
My logic says that guilt/shame are unproductive emotions.  But my path seems to say their is work to be done to banish all the way.  Life would be easier if I could just lay it down and walk away, but I don’t see how that’s possible while the memories are still smoldering.

I guess I just wanted to say, you aren’t alone.

Of course in some way the fundamental nature of NA is judgmental, I believe, in that those on meth are still considered “dirty,” and not welcome to participate

            haha! – oooooooh, very funny !!  – but probably true in a lot cases, unfortunately many, many people have no other option than to venture there in desperation, I avoid my local NA like the plague. The atmosphere’s like Burroughs’ Interzone – paranoia – I went once for a half an hour and heard the same ego belching in different forms again and again. You really see a need for a radical modernisation of thinking and understanding in this old 12 step format though some of the steps do hold real help and answers for a lot of people, this is a personal view of a local meeting, of course I can’t generalise. ……… Jon.

hi Allison,

The judgementalness at my local NA meetings certainly didn’t help me.  I’d come back to these looks that said “you naughty boy.”  When I said I wanted to put down the dope and the crack, they kept saying..”we have heard this before form you? Why is this time different?”  If I went in hopeful, I left really discouraged.

Of course in some way the fundamental nature of NA is judgmental, I believe, in that those on meth are still considered “dirty,” and not welcome to participate. NA says it wants to assist addicts become “acceptable, responsible and productive,” but not if they are on the meth.  In that case the addict better shut the fuck up and listen.

I know NA varies from area to area and I have heard better stories elsewhere. These are just my experiences in north Jersey.

Anyway, thanks for your post.  Sounds like you follow the way of the peaceful warrior.:)

Sean, as you talk about near death and smack, I proposed a theory in one of my books that one of the main motivations for the character in my book (which was me) was to be able to commit suicide but to be able to return . That a good smack nod was like death, and being afraid of actually killing himself since he also wanted to be alive, he chose that drug to achieve a temporary death.

For me, it was always on my mind, at least when I was teen doing it. As an adult it was just feeding the beast.

Dave,

Your post gave me goosebumps.  A meth clinic run by the ibo experienced.WILD!
It’s strange, but I managed to forget my three heroin ODs this year when reading Preston’s post.  In my case, though, there was no chance to “choose” to come back so to speak.  Narcon woke me the fuck up.  I do remember my first OD I was in a dream..thought I was in my bed at home (which I had not seen a while) very clam, peaceful..then WOAH…These are EMTs…must have OD’s.  Right there on the sidewalk on tenth street (NYC)  I have to say I was glad each time I was brought back.

I did have a little fear going into the ibo experience that I would jion the handful of people who died during ibo treatment.  Irrational I know, but there nonetheless.
I’m glad to report I didn’t die, as you all have probably surmised.  In fact I was born again.:)

Don’t know about anyone else,  but when you’ve been down and kicked etc its a really good thing to fix your attitude on trying to be non judgemental.  Years ago I would have uped with the fists and thought I was so tough but now there are other ways to deal with things and if people don’t like that well thats not my problem and I’m not going to nut off to prove my point.  Walking away can also work but its taken me years to get to that in my own mind.  Allison

Welcome to Mindvox. fellow traveler!  I know exactly what you mean.  I’ve been on dozen’s of Internet sites on drugs and addiction, and there really is nowhere else on the web quite like this!  Maybe it’s the respect for difference of opinion.  The lace of judgmental assholes (sorry couldn’t help myself), maybe it’s the years of accumulated experience here.  And maybe it’s cause there are a lot of people on the list who truly give a shit about suffering junkies.  No lectures, holier than thou bullshit.  Real people who are there/have been there who care.

Are there support options for post-ibogaine treatment in New York?
My son is considering doing ibogaine and wants to relocate there or London.
Is anyone listening from UK? He qualifies for British citizenship. What is
support there? Is treatment cheaper there?
What is the difference between post-therapy with a practitioner who knows
about ibogaine or anybody else?
I’m looking into support locally in Mass. where he qualifies for inexpensive

I have mailed you off list Andy but just wanted to let people know there are
treatments over here, both medically supervised and not. Aftercare is
something that you can discuss in full with your ibogaine treatment
provider. There are obviously the usual support networks such as NA groups
and NHS group therapy and rehab programs, but also other schools of
psychotherapy, counselling and bodywork that I personally would recommend.
I have been encouraging people to set up a post ibogaine support network
over here but unfortunately it hasn’t happened in a structured way or not
that I am aware of anyhow.

There are a couple of therapists I would recommend who are familiar with
ibogaine and non ordinary states and who would therefore be able to work
more specifically with the ibogaine experience post session. The session
itself usually involves considerable integration work and the provider is at
hand to help when and as needed following the experience.

I hope this helps

If you want to talk more about this it would possibly be better off list.
Scrutiny exists over here as well!!

Preston

Please send me the contact info for your post-ibo support guy or gal. That
is the area we want to get better with out here for our west coast,
southwest area sessions. We have great results with regular real people,
but experienced, (or willing to become experienced) counselors are fewer.
I hope to learn the protocols and techniques they are finding most
effective.

I’m liking your narrative to the list, congratulations on the rejuvenation
of your brain and body.  That is a sacred gift from this plant and I’m
glad you can gift back to us your DJ work and your articulate sharing on
MindVox. Time passing gives people a “window” of 2-3 months, post ibo, for
this willpower and awareness boost to help put in place better choices and
health patterns. Genuine second chances are pretty rare out here in
consensus reality. The sheer opportunity for personal change this plant
offers is just magickal.

As for the “not fun” thread, that depends on what each of us brings to the
table, emotionally, you know? I’m flashing on Iggy and his Stooges and
their version of “No Fun”…There are plenty of walking wounded with
trails of woe seeking a save in their session with ibo. Some people have
worked on themselves and let go of most of their pain and trauma in
decades past from that work. These clients report an intensity and depth
from this that definately isn’t party-hearty type fun, but it’s more up
than the hell patrol many addicts are describing. Everyone has their place
on The Wheel, I guess. Grinding down an ego has to be uncomfortable, it
seems.

Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available? I’m familiar with and
fond of a lot of avante-gard alternative rock and techno music, but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.

Respectfully,

Dr. Tom

I’m hoping that this works I have also been reading for a few weeks and didn’t understand anything when I got here. At first this whole place is a bit of a shock, it is let me say very different then any other drug forum I have ever read. I don’t understand Mindvox at all it reminds me a lot of doing way too much acid in the 70’s except I never managed to turn my experiences into anything like that. Now I look at it and I think I am seeing it more like art. I also love the ibogaine part that I understand a little more.

I live in north California and am very inspired by the kindness that is here. I hope to have the chance to do ibogaine soon. I am on methadone 90MG and have been using heroin and methadone for 6 years, 3 years of only heroin before that. Stopping heroin while I am using methadone hasn’t worked for me and I spend a lot of time feeling like such a loser because of that.

I don’t know what else to say yet but thanks for this place, what someone else said the other day is what I feel too, it is more like somehow i’m not reading only words but that here is a place. It’s strange to feel that way about people I don’t know but I feel like I do.

Looking and reading I dont know who who makes this place but I don’t know how anyone manages to take all of that out of drugs and turn it into mindvox. I’ve not gotten much from any drugs in a long time except back to being normal which isn’t so normal but sick and tired.

Hey list,

Can’t believe a week ago I was anticipating my ibogaine treatment the following morning.  Seems like a lot longer.  I have to say that ibo has given me a new lease on life, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with addiction.

The choice to seek ibogaine was in some ways uncharacteristic for me.  I have been of the “skeptic” school for many years now.  I really would have scoffed at the idea that anything which is used by an African tribe in an initiation ritual could do me any good. If it didn’t come out of lab, it was certainly suspect at best.

Meanwhile my addiction spiraled out of control.  I was homeless, jobless and hopeless.  I finally relented and took my parents up an offer to come home and stay with them for a while why I paid bills and went back to my union job on the Jersey waterfront.

At home alone a lot, I spent more time on the Internet than ever before.  I would do odd searches like “compassion for addicts.”  That led me to Cures Not Wars, where I read the Ibogaine book online.

Further research took me to Mindvox. and this list.  I had started work with an Internal Family Systems therapist.  This psychotherapeutic method tries to open you up to the various sub personalities which make up the big system: the self.

I got in touch with a part of me which I had long abandoned, the healer within me. I became more open.  I became determined to try ibo. I remember the last night I used heroin I told my fellow junkies that night about my decision.  They were all for it me, but they were not that bad not, they said, so they were not interested. they also told me about a guy they know who had just been treated in NY who had a grand mal seizure.  He was an alcoholic. Nonetheless, this upped the fear factor a bit.

But follow the healer I did.  I cannot say that my session revealed to me why I used drug in the first place as some on the list have said.  My therapy session five days after ibogaine, however, was the most productive I ever had.  During that session, the real reasons for my addiction became clearer.  I am convinced that without the ibo last weekend, this session would not have happened.

Right now I am enjoying the freedom of life without an active addiction.  I cannot say that at five days I no longer have no desire to get off on dope or crack.  The thoughts are there; or tat least the fear.  I don’t feel invulnerable.

But I can say that for the first time in ten years I have a choice.  I’m not compelled by some inner demon to hit the streets and get off, regardless of the consequences.
I have insight into what drove that inner dopefiend; I even have some compassion for him.

Well, just wanted to get this out and up on the list.  I am so grateful to this list and especially the list member who stuck their neck out to help hook me with ibo.  And it’s been really cool meeting this wild, smart, irreverent, creative, but most of all compassionate group of “junkies.”  What can I say, “thanks?”

Pax,
Sean

I can’t relate personally as I have not been near death BUT…
Charlie (my man) was on ventilator for 3 months after his car wreck in 99. He has told me some of the dreams he had and they are so deep……he can actually make sense of some and tie them together with his past experiences and even the stuff that went on around him. I stayed at his bedside as much as humanly possible and talked to him until I was hoarse at times. I read him Silence of the Lambs, newspapers, bible and the Weekly World News! He said he remembers me talking about Ed Anger, a pen name for one of the writers at Weekly World News! hahaha! but back to point…..
He dreamed of dolphins. He felt he was drowning a lot of the time and dreamed of water, beaches, waterfalls and ocean. I thought it was probably the ventilator and the intubation tube but have changed my mind since reading about your dreams of animals on Ibo…..bear, dragon and what animal was in your visions Preston?
I think they do have significance. I think EVERYTHING you seen has significance. You may not consciously figure it out but your subconscious will at some level.

I am really finding all of this so fascinating!! It is like reading a good book or watching a good soap opera! Every time I sign on puter I have another episode!

Dave,

Your post gave me goosebumps.  A meth clinic run by the ibo experienced..WILD!
It’s strange, but I managed to forget my three heroin ODs this year when reading Preston’s post.  In my case, though, there was no chance to “choose” to come back so to speak.  Narcon woke me the fuck up.  I do remember my first OD I was in a dream..thought I was in my bed at home (which I had not seen a while) very clam, peaceful..then WOAH…These are EMTs…must have OD’s.  Right there on the sidewalk on tenth street (NYC)  I have to say I was glad each time I was brought back.

I did have a little fear going into the ibo experience that I would jion the handful of people who died during ibo treatment.  Irrational I know, but there nonetheless.
I’m glad to report I didn’t die, as you all have probably surmised.  In fact I was born again.:)

Hi Preston,

Very interesting post. It made me think of the recent work that postulate that trauma and near death experience may be a major factor in why some people get addicted.
Are you familiar with this?

I know that my childhood was very traumatic and I definitely feel that contributed to my becoming a full blown addict by sixteen.  While I agree with the ideas that there is something innate in us humans which enjoys altered states, intoxication etc. I feel like the deep need and craving I had for drugs as a teenager and of course an adult is what made my use addiction.  Interestingly I changed from psychedelics to crack at eighteen, and sometimes I think this sealed my fate.  Should have stuck with the weed and shrooms.:)

Anyway, much food for thought in your post. Thanks.

Pax,
Sean

yes. I can relate. For me ibogaine was very much a near-death experience, that is, from what I’ve read about them and the 3-4 near death experiences that I had myself when I OD’d. I definitely left my body each time I took Ibo, well, my astral body anyhow. At the time I could literally feel my soul separating from my physical body. Since then, thru talking with a certain mystic and reading about our different “bodies”, it probably wasn’t my “soul” but my astral body. Not only did “I” leave my body but “I” left the earth and went back to ‘the source’, which is a highly fucking cool, re-assuring, awe-inspiring and comfortable place to visit. This is the source of where art comes from. The seat of creation.

I felt that if I made the choice, I could have NOT come back. But, like my OD’s, There was a distinct message of… “Like Dude, you have more work to do. Its not your time, YET” – spoken by that disembodied voice so many of us experience… higher self? ibo spirit? gawd? -whatever makes sense to YOU personally.

About 5 years before Ibogaine I had a waking dream (it may very well have been an OD-induced near death experience, I just don’t really know but I was doing a LOT of smack at the time) where my two gaurdian angels came to me, in their blue luminescent glory, and basically let me know I had a hard road ahead, but whatever I do, don’t give up, it will be OK and there will be “signs” along the way to give me hope. Little did I know one of the biggest “signs” would be in the form of a hypertext link in a notorious newsgroup called alt.drugs.hard. The rest is history.

A further note. There are many people who, unaware of ibogaine’s anti-addictive qualities, identify it as the “astral travel drug”. The day I came back from Europe and went to the methadone clinic to tear up my dose card in the clinic directors office… he asked what precipitated such a bold move. I mentioned that I had dosed on Ibogaine… and a gigantic smile erupted from his face. It turns out he had, with a group of other psychologists and shamans, used Ibogaine for astral travel -apparently there was a lot of Ibogaine experimentation in the bay area in the late 70’s and early 80’s. He was completely unaware of ibo’s anti-addictive qualities, yet there he was an Ibo initiate running a methadone clinic. The plot thickens…

Hi all,
So another new developement- I pulled out my manuscript for Something in
the Way, a “novel” I wrote a couple of years ago which has been languishing
in the apartment due to my getting really tired of rejection slips from
agents and publishers.
Anyway, I think it’s a great book but has been in dire need ot reeding,
rewriting actually, and I’ve been intimidated looking at the amount of work
it’s going to take. So I pulled it out yesterday and began the rewrite,
putting it all back into first person format so I can pitch it more as a
memoire type deal.
As I began writing this morning, I realized something. I’m still on the
first chapter (as it stands now first chapter, although I think I’m going to
shift things around a bit) which describes the car accident as a teenager,
the one which resulted in my being introduced to morphine for the first
time, IV too.
The point of this note is to say that I am just at the point in the
chapter where I have the accident, and am about to begin describing my
reaction while lying on the road with the paramedics working on me, and it
has struck me right smack in the head-
I spent some time immediately following the accident, that time just before,
during and after the paramedics arrived, set me up in the ambulance (which
was told didn’t need to hurry as my Dad and I were both as near as the cop
could tell, dead- we both survived and are still alive today, 20 years later
this Nov. 7) and took me to the emergancy room, after which I spent a couple
week completely out- and DREAMING.
The dreams which I had not thought of in years were extremely vivid,
remarkably like, you guessed it, what I experienced the first time through
the ibogaine experience. So I am wondering exactly how close to “near death”
I got that time (I do know it was VERY close and that there were times I was
rushed for more emergancy surgery over the next few months where the nurses
in progressive intensive didn’t expect me to be coming back- but I showed
them) and how close I got to it while taking ibogaine?
I have recently read that there are notions that taking ibogaine induces
a near-death state. Any feedback on this anyone?
Peace and love,
Preston

He was so kind that i really trust him (i´m still), eternity is One place to

And more I have the strange feeling that in some ancient time we (the list?)

So i may be accelerated in posting a delaying-in-the-delivery but i needed

Gekko is highly dysfunctional and wanders the Earth a lot.  What you’ve

just VanIshED@#!@#!!!!!!!”  <Shrug>  He does that.

“But I needed to detox tomorrow!  Not, whenever he gets back!”

To reiterate, he’s … somewhere on planet Earth.  If the site doesn’t

If he ripped you off, then you’d be the first person — I am aware of
— it has happened to.  Everything else, is just … what it is.  In a

If you’re interested in Carl’s “Indra” materials, you may wanna touch
base with Sara.

Preston, let me ask you something. I remember when I was in jail and didn’t
have meth for a few days, though I was sick, it was easy to orgasm. In fact
when I lied in bed, I would just come like a wet dream. Is this why your sex
life is better now or is IBOGAINE itself affecting a change within you?<

It’s very very different from the usual, “I’m withdrawing and my sperm are
exploding out for no reason” cumming I’ve experienced in the past, in
remarkably similar way to how you’ve described it here. I think it’s not
really the ibogaine either, but rather, the fresh, “I’m alive and don’t
actually mind it” feeling I’m experiencing constantly these past couple of
weeks.

Maybe it will change after Ibogaine next week but for some reason, unless
the ‘trip’ deals with this aspect of my life, I doubt anything will change.<

Don’t bother doubting, just go with whatever happens. I suspect you are
going to be VERY pleasently surprised once it’s all over and you come to
your senses again. If yours is anything like my experience has so far been.

I’m feeling like everyone is thinking I am really fucked up but of course
no one would ever say that.<

Ok, I’ll say it- Julian, yer really Fucked Up!
LOL.
Seriously though, I’m super glad to hear your submitting to an ibo session.
I can’t say I relate at the moment to the woman-less lifestyle, as yer
right, I’m very very lucky to have V. (Especially after screwing up a couple
of other very decent loving relationships in my life with women I thought I
was going to be with for years and year and year.) I’ve felt for years that
I don’t deserve to be with V, or anyone, as I was such a shit head to other
women at one time or other, stealing everything in the house that wasn’t
nailed down for crack/coke/dope/etc. But apparently karma works both
directions, in that I suspect I’m reaping rewards by having V because of
something I am still going to pull off in the future- or so I like to think.
It would be really nice if this were true.

Fuck it. If you could just let me know about ibogaine and your sexual drive
that would be great. Love your woman like you do, it’s really a fantastic
thing to have in life.<

It seems that lately all of V’s friends keep telling her how jealous they
are of our relationship- and believe you me I do not want to ever let it go.
I love her and she me, and it’s all good. I’m very very aware of how lucky I
am in my relationship, how awful things could actually be but for now
aren’t.

Peace and love,
Preston

One last thing Preston. I am happy for you as well as

one of the most important things if not the most important is love and how
that manifests in your relationships. Right now, it seems the only person(s)
I really love are my daughters. That’s fine but I need a woman to love and
be with. Sex is….well suffice to say I haven’t been with a woman I love or
even like in,(I can’t believe I’m saying this but I guess I need to get it
out, it’s festering in me like cancer…it really hurts!) 7 years. I feel
like a fucking virgin again. I still need to orgasm two to three times a day
which is not bad for my age and drug ingestion but loving and being intimate
with a woman? Nothing! Maybe it will change after Ibogaine next week but for
some reason, unless the ‘trip’ deals with this aspect of my life, I doubt
anything will change. SHIT! I sort of wish now I didn’t say anything. I’m
feeling like everyone is thinking I am really fucked up but of course no one

they can’t because it seems like everyone or almost everyone is either
making love to friends or has a person they love and is intimate with them.

Hi Friend,

After a one month hiatus, we return with our local pot-luck dinner! The last
one at Liz’s in June was great, with new people and very interesting sharing
of ideas and videos, music, etc.

This month Dean has graciously offered his place in the Lower East Side.

Here’s the deal:
Date: Saturday, August 21st.
Time: 7:00 pm
Bring: As always: bring 2 things:

1) A dinner dish or dessert (preferably an entre). Figure they’ll be 8-10
people there.

2) Something to share. This month, I suggest the sharing be around the
topic:
Experiences With The Divine, but anything you’d like to show us/play us/
read us/ tell us about any topic would be fine.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a no smoking environment!! When you RSVP, I’ll explain.

And yes, please RSVP by emailing or calling me.

Look forward to seeing you there!

the ‘music’ playing on gammalyte is something I made from a bunch of

even sure if I have the original source, its embedded into the flash

you could always tune into gammalyte’s splash page during your ibo,

Did you guys really see IGGY?? That is so cool.<

Yep, along with the Stooges, as well as the aforementioned “wanna smoke a
bowl here in Tomkins Square Park” incident.
I too want to find more O-Rang, as I think I mentioned already. I think
one of the members was in Blur at some point, but I’m not a hundred percent
sure.
The swimming thing has really grabbed my attention I want to say, in
that I was on swim teams and such as a kid, for a number of years actually,
I got my “mile swim” badge as a boy scout and generally always loved
swimming.
I’m going to look into that. There’s a huge, olympic sized pool, oh,
about 3 blocks from my house, which I’ve never actually seen first hand but
have shot up outside of in the surrounding park, over by Ave. D, in the
Lower East Side.
btw, where I grew up, we had to be careful making dolphin noises as the
dolphines that swam past the coast of Sarasota’s Siesta and Lido beaches
every dawn and dusk mighta mistaken us for fellow dolphins and boffed us to
death, or something.
I had a friend swim 3 miles in to shore once, after the hoby he was on
tipped over and the undertow dragged him out that 3 miles from shore. As the
sun began to go down with no one showing up to help him, he decided he’d
better swim back, jumped in the water, and turned around within about 50 or
so yards to check his progress- only to see two fins cut the water behind
him. After a moment or two of panic, the fins turned out to belong to two
dolphins which swam along with him until he reached the beach.
True story. It even made CNN, I think, way back when, sometime during the
80s.
I jest of course about being boffed to death- I think they only do that
in Carl Hiassen books and on nature shows.
Peace and love,
Preston

swimming can be a pain at a lot of public pools but nothing beats the

their version of “No Fun”.<

I have been a Stooges fan for years and years. V and I saw Iggy walking
around LES one afternoon and followed him into Tomkins Square Park where I
asked if he wanted to smoke a bowl. “No, thank you,” he said in his funny
Detroit accent.
He was so cute! (In a non-gay sort of way of course…LOL)
We saw them play (Stooges) on their first recent reunion tour, but missed
the last show just a few nights ago.
And I do agree basically with your assessment of the “no fun” thing.

Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available?<

V does, but I’ve not gotten to that point yet. Post ibo, I have to admit,
I’ve suddenly found I not only like experimenting with new real mixing work,
you know, 2 songs at one time thing, but am actually able to do it somewhat.
My girlfriend is the “real” dj in our home still. She first was the one who
decided she wanted to do it- I caught the bug from watching her first buy
turn tables, then actually go out and get herself a decent paying gig doing
it. “If she can do it, well then, I can do it too!” I thought, and sure
enough I can. That said, I usually merely “play” music I like and appeals to
me, but haven’t been doing the “mixing” thing until very recently- and am
loving it. As soon as I do burn some stuff I’ll be sure to let you know and
get your address. I’d love to share.

but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.<

I’ve been taking baths almost daily- but I don’t like public swimming pools,
they sort of creep me out, and the North Atlantic (or mid-Atlantic,
whatever) where I live isn’t the most appealing of beaches/swimming water-
especially having grown up in Sarasota, Florida, which to this day has some
of the nicest most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen and visited.
One particular CD that I’ve been playing the hell outta lately, post
ibo
particularly, since pre-ibo I’d not for some reason paid it much attention,
is Perry Ferrel’s solo album called “A Song Yet to be Sung.” It’s brilliant
and beautiful. It’s not Jane’s Addiction, but that’s cool, it’s different. I
can definitely hear traces of Porno for Pyros in it, but it is still a bit
different than that.
If you can find the band O Rang you’ll be doing yourself a big favor
too- the album I have is called “Fields and Waves,” that is absolutely
brilliant. I played it through twice, first time through while waiting for
the ibo to take effect and the second time, well, let’s just say I almost
wasn’t able to sit up long enough to hit “play” again- and it was AWESOME to
slide into the ibo space with this playing softly. I coulda actually used a
little more volume, but I was listening for ibo messages too and didn’t want
to be distracted. Don’t know if that was a mistake or not actually, partly
due to reading Marc’s post and talking to him too about his listening to the
jazz stuff and how effective it was for him. Anyway, O Rang I’ve discovered
is now out of print, so it’s going to be tough to find- they’ve got another
album too called something like “Instinct of Herds” or something along those
lines, I jsut found out today while looking for more of their stuff, but as
noted, all their work (both albums) are out of print so I can’t even order
it through Virgin Mega-Store where I was today. I found and bought my VERY
FIRST EVER electronica music cd today- all Jane’s Addiction covers too. LOL,
how happy was I to find this? Very. I was looking for something totally
different than my usual choices, so I bought that cover cd, but then I also
found “In the Flat Fields” by Bauhaus on sale and couldn’t resist snatching
that too, as they are my all time very very very very very very very very
very very (other than perhaps for the Cure) all time favorite band ever.
so before I ramble on any further I bid you all (and Tom too since this
is mostly answering his email) adieu, good night, and lots of real genuine
heartfelt peace and love,
Preston

Please send me the contact info for your post-ibo support guy or gal. That
is the area we want to get better with out here for our west coast,
southwest area sessions. We have great results with regular real people,
but experienced, (or willing to become experienced) counselors are fewer.
I hope to learn the protocols and techniques they are finding most
effective.

I’m liking your narrative to the list, congratulations on the rejuvenation
of your brain and body. That is a sacred gift from this plant and I’m
glad you can gift back to us your DJ work and your articulate sharing on
MindVox. Time passing gives people a “window” of 2-3 months, post ibo, for
this willpower and awareness boost to help put in place better choices and
health patterns. Genuine second chances are pretty rare out here in
consensus reality. The sheer opportunity for personal change this plant
offers is just magickal.

As for the “not fun” thread, that depends on what each of us brings to the
table, emotionally, you know? I’m flashing on Iggy and his Stooges and
their version of “No Fun”…There are plenty of walking wounded with
trails of woe seeking a save in their session with ibo. Some people have
worked on themselves and let go of most of their pain and trauma in
decades past from that work. These clients report an intensity and depth
from this that definately isn’t party-hearty type fun, but it’s more up
than the hell patrol many addicts are describing. Everyone has their place
on The Wheel, I guess. Grinding down an ego has to be uncomfortable, it
seems.

Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available? I’m familiar with and
fond of a lot of avante-gard alternative rock and techno music, but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.

Allan,

Sorry if my post in any way appeared to indicate
that it was made on behalf
of the HRC. It was made to announce the requirement
to submit abstracts on
ibogaine to the ibogaine list indicating that there
is an April 30th
deadline on
submissions to the conference. Any funds provided
to the Dora Weiner
Foundation
would be used, if they can be raised, to allow
myself and two other persons
to attend the conference, the number based on
acceptance of abstracts and
available funding. This would not be possible
without direct funding to
DWF as HRC
scholarship information indicated only partial
scholarships would be
available
and that they do not include transportation or
hotels costs.   My hope was to
raise the funds and not be a burdon to the HRC. And
certainly I would not
dispute your statement that funds can be given
directly to the HRC and as you
indicate donors can “specify what” they “want done
with the money.”  I
hope you
have not taken offense at my solicitation and I
hope this clarifies what the
funds would be used for by DWF:  HRC conference
attendance and the
preparation
and presentation of a brochure of ibogaine
presentations made at the
conference
of all authors who would wish to be included.
Thanks for your understanding.
If you have any additional concerns I would be
glad to respond.

dialog afterwards, through words, sound, visual “art” or whatever.  But
first things first.  I thought you might be able to help.
Once I get a respectable grant application out, then I’ll get that out to as

This work, it’s too important to listen good before I act.  So any advice

how close he came- except I don’t EVER wear tie-die. (NOthing personal to
those who do, but I, myself, don’t. I think I might own something that looks
vaguely tie-died, but, well, I never wear it.) When he gets to the office
and sets up his tape to play, the one on which he’s recorded the local
politicians discussing who killed JFK and the fi! elds of pot the feds are
growing and keeping just for them, the staff all gather around listening to
the tape- but no sound comes out. Black stops the tape after a moment, after
one of the staff something like, “there’s nothing coming out.” He says,
“oh,” or something, rewinds the tape and punches play, again, only this time
without record. He’s basically recorded over his secret taping of the
politician, and all we can now here is a voice, the staffer who said
“there’s nothing coming out.”
LOL, I myself have not only done similar things (like conduct an hour

POT ACTIVIST JAILED

Saskatoon – One of Canada’s best-known marijuana activists was
sentenced
Thursday to three months in jail after pleading guilty to
trafficking
when
he passed a joint to a supporter last March.

Marc Emery, president of the B.C. Marijuana Party, was charged
with
trafficking after he spoke at a political rally at the University
of
Saskatchewan in March.

Mr. Emery’s lawyer said the sentence is too strict for simply
passing
one
joint to one person.

“I do have an issue with the length of the sentence,” said Leanne

Johnson.
“Three months is a bit of overkill, perhaps, for passing one joint
to
one
person.”

Outside the courthouse, Mr. Emery said his devotion to marijuana
won’t
change.

“Marijuana is the most beautiful, perfect plant ever put on this
earth.
I’m
a great devotee of it and that won’t change, no matter what a
judge
would
sentence me to.”

Marijuana has provided medical benefits to many Canadians, added
Mr.
Emery,
who has been a common figure at pro-pot rallies for years.

Hi Preston, if you can’t load that page, just type dc++ into google and look for a site that has it – get version v.0.401 and load a hublist in, then search for Reason or Cubase(also good) – this may all seem a little off topic but you need to keep busy and happy so what better way than making music ?……….Good luck mate……..Jon.

I think we all go through that want, not want thing.  I used to start chucking up before I even got the needle into my arm.  I’d have my head down the toilet, foot out and my partner would be trying to shoot my up while I was throwing up.;  Thats pretty sick when you are straight & think about it.
The mind has amazing powers that we really don’t understand.  Am sure it has a lot to do with the mental process and what you really want to do but am not sure quite how to put all that into words or even understand how it works myself.  I just know its there in our heads, its tapping into it that is the hard part.   Allison

IBOGAINE . My Journey inside.

7-26-04 So I’m finally here and more ready to be free than I’ve ever been. Well that’s just it, my perception is different. For quite some time now I haven’t enjoyed doing drugs. I go through the process and spend the money and obvious then there’s the ritual,  but then almost instantaneously I get this horrible empty feeling that comes over me, a mix of guilt and sadness and disgust and every time I say to myself “remember this, it makes you even more miserable than you usually do, not to mention 100 bucks or so poorer” but for some strange reason I wake up in the morning and I forget how badly I felt just the night before and by the evening or at best the following week it starts all over again. Methadone plays a huge part in keeping me in that destructive behavior because there is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no walking away or even going to a detox. You are stuck and a junkie, and addict whether you like it or not. And when those things are undeniable, feeling like a failure, and a waste of a good body and mind, are unavoidable and then  going through that pathetic process is so much easier hurting myself seems like a good trade off for the possibility of escaping what I’ve done to myself  . And maybe its not that I’m looking to get high because as I’ve said I do not get much enjoyment out of it but one thing is for sure, when I get in that drug seeking mode I no longer think about anything else. Those feelings of failure and inadequacy are no longer at the forefront of my mind anyway, because I have something else on my mind.
I just know that if I can free myself from the meth the resolve to stay away from drugs will be almost a certainty in my case.  Ibogaine, well what can I say. I’m scared to death by some of the things I’ve read and more hopeful than I can ever remember being by others. But the positive things certainly have outweighed the negative and persuaded me enough to make the decision to travel across the country to detox in a week. Something that would have taken me more than a year had I attempted to do it by tapering. And who am I kidding? Tapering slowly was never an option for me. A life on Methadone is just about the most depressing thing I could imagine. It makes you feel so marginalized, so less than, with that being said I couldn’t stand it another minute. Another year? Let me just say that I don’t think it would have been pretty had I continued one more day than I had. Liquid handcuffs is the best way I’ve ever heard it put. And I’m not going to touch on what a hell that year would be physically as well as mentally.
So I drank my last bottle yesterday morning and I had another for this morning but which I dumped in the toilet. It felt great. The feeling of knowing that I didn’t have to drink a poison one more day. A poison that was destroying my bones and my teeth not to mention my hopes and my dreams all to avoid begin just about as sick as you could imagine. What a terrible way to live.
I just took  the ibogaine  let the healing begin! better lay down
one more thing before I blast off.  Life is so short and in a alot of ways I’ve wasted many good years. But I can take the power back and turn that time wasted around into time that led me to this point in my life. A starting off point where I learn from my mistakes and maybe if I’m really lucky help others to learn from my mistakes.
My body is beginning to vibrate and I feel like my heart is beating fast but not that fast (140 per minute)… its almost time. Then the strangest thing happens… Although terrified I begin to smile in a way I can only remember smiling as a child. Not that sneaky smile or an embarrassed smile that I’ve known for me whole adult life. As I try to stop it only gets bigger.

So Miles Davis starts off with Autumn leaves and the smile gets even bigger!!!!… and then into The Birth of the Cool. I knew it was coming on strong when the sound was no longer coming from my ears and instead directly from the back of my brain. Then bare with me, lots of cartoony things that I was trying to follow but was having a hard time with  geometric patterns and then pictures of the most beautiful churches I had ever seen maybe not from this world but who knows  eyes closed but then as the music kept going I started to feel as if with every note every sound every instrument was playing a part in fixing my head. Its extremely hard to explain in words after 3 hours thinking more than hallucinating with my eyes closed the things I’ve done the friends I’ve lost and lots of random thoughts too that were profound at the time and may have played a big part in my sub conscious but when I look back not much of it made clear sense. However when I would open my eyes the ibogaine effects were obvious. furious flashes of light off of everything. Not the trails I remember from my LSD mescaline days these were much sharper and distinct. Then maybe four hours in I started to get very sweaty and the ibogaine was well on but out of nowhere, which I now know was part of the experience for me,  I started to get sicker and sicker to the point that I somehow stood up and held the wall to get down stairs and from what I hear that is quite early to come down a flight of stairs and not to mention these were marble stairs!!!! I came down to let my caretakers know that I was getting sick. Then when I looked at there faces and hear them talking about me in the background the sickness began to consume me and I was terrified I though OH MY GOD I’M STRANDED IN MEXICO AND THIS SHIT ISN’T WORKING FOR ME!!!!  but something was different AND I FELT IT I kept hearing my own voice  telling me “remember this…REMEMBER THIS FEELING” they gave me more ibogaine  and in 10 to 15 minutes I was off. Came back upstairs and went completely inside my body. I watched this things in my body shoot off like guizers WATCHING MY BODY CLEAN UP INTERNALLY, the ibogaine was working and I had a front row seat!!!! I think at this point I was so overwhelmed with what I had been though that I literally passed out after another couple of hours. I then came down stairs and out of the dark room about 6 hours later and all of a sudden I realized that I was no longer sick and that it worked!!! . I couldn’t believe that was it.I kept asking the caretakers if that was it or were the withdrawals coming back but they didn’t or at least 95 % gone and did not return. But as for the ibogaine it was far from over. The next hours and into the next few days”weeks in retrospect” I have had a clarity of mind that I can’t ever remember having. I am seeing life though new eyes. I felt a forgiveness that I have never known before. A lot of laughing and a lot of crying and this is coming from someone who just doesn’t cry over the next few days  but all feeling and its wonderful. Trails, or the sharp bolts of light, for days and  but they only start after it gets dark and there kinda fun. As for the day time everything feels as if I’m almost experiencing it for the first time. Even getting back to NYC after being gone for two weeks was different. NY was different. . My sense of smell and taste brand new. I would consider this one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life, it saved my life!!!!!!!!
I took small doses of Ibogaine for the next week every day to allow the noribogaine build up and I’m gonna guess that it worked because no craving for anything but pot and its been 22 days since my last dose of meth or I did any other opiate. I’m not going to lie here, this experience is far from a cake walk and 22 days later I’m only getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep and still a lot of diraria but I think that might have been something I picked up in Mexico. But nothing in comparison to the kind of hell coming of narcotics the conventional way.
This is nothing short of a gift from god, a god of some kind I’m not sure what to think anymore, but certainly feel a oneness with the universe that I can’t ever remember knowing, a peace, the noise in my head finally silenced. This needs to be more readily available to people in need and for me I feel anyone lucky enough to experience this has to show it the respect it deserves and for me that means staying far away from the things that brought me that terrible place I was before the ibogaine maybe even a debt of some sort to pay back which is purely a personal thing but think of the lives that could change with a little more education.

ON A SIDE NOTE… THIS WAS ME at 12 HOURS INTO IBOGAINE, Did the ibogaine at 3:00 mst go i nto vision leater. then as the ibogai 6went intp withdrwal so bad it was like hell on heart but I took a other dose and 30 minutes later it sedt me right off IO.then atg after sleeping for an hour but it felt like ftill daytime all of a suddend I  and felt great omplwerwtwe find still a lot of I wanteds to walk around and came down sraitr I was feeling woke up and lay around a ctotoal clensing. I feel like I’m 15 year old”  HOW FUNNY IS THAT. I REALLY THOUGHT I I ENOUGH GOING ON THERE TO TYPE A SENTANCE… SILLY ME.

There is no such thing as a magic pill and it all depends on me now but ibogiane showed me I have choices and that life is just begining and that addiction IS reversable.

We’ve been together for about 17 years now.  I had a 5 yr old daughter when we met and he’s been the best and only father she has had.  I reckon if we have stuck together through all the shit we have been through its got to be good.   So far he has had 2 major back surgeries for buggered disks and then after finally getting over all that broke his ankle so back we went to square one.  Its taken us to now to try and get ahead with things so fingers crossed.  Mind you a bit of nookie wouldn’t go amiss.  Wayne has been on MMT for the last 5 yrs and this is the second time round.  Anyways, at least we are relatively clean, not spending money we haven’t got and playing the pretend game that all is well even though our eyes usually said different.   Allsion

LOL.
Um, well I guess I’m glad he giggled and more so, realized it ain’t just
him.
That’s actually another reason I write- we are all of us, the abusers and
the users, in the same boat together, and if we don’t share our experiences,
too many of us I think do feel like it IS “just us” going through whatever
it is we’re experiencing. I think that is one of the main good things about
the whole NA/AA/CA type stuff- it reminds us that we are not going through
whatever it is alone, that it’s been done before and is being done now by
countless others, no matter what it is.
I mean, whenever I hear a story about how someone needs money from me on
the street for this or that reason, I laugh, because there’s not a story
someone can tell me to try and scam cash outta me that I haven’t already
thought of and used too on someone or other. Whenever I get a reaction from
one drug or another, it’s not the first time someone has reacted that way-
there’s bound to be others who’ve also gone through it at some point.
My point is, if there really actually is one here, that I am glad I’ve
been able to let your boyfriend know he ain’t alone.

Hi Callie. Have been reading all the posts but had a hard time trying to
reply. So good to hear all the posts from Preston. Was wondering if you
could also answer a question for me. We use a chemical here in NZ. Its an
acid and we just call it AA. Does that mean anything to you and if so can
you tell me the correct term for it. The 2nd A is for Acid but can not
think of the first word. Its a chemical used to turn or manufacture drugs
if that makes any sense. No probs if you want to give that one a miss or
maybe someone else can answer it. Bit off the topic but putting it out
there anyway. PS Preston, I read your message to my partner regarding
Limp Dick & he started giggling. Thank God its not just me was more or less
the reply. Anyway, am glad to her all is good with you. Take care & look
after yourself. Allison

Charlie, You may have been on list for a long time but I have just seen you
tonight!
I want to introduce myself…
I am a 44 year old Practical Nurse on Methadone for 5 years.
I found this list by accident one night (divine intervention!) and it has
given me much hope. I have not had hope in many years!
I am saving to hopefully be treated this winter sometime and somewhere.
I had also been decreasing my dose but got to feeling edgy and asked for
detox to be stopped for a bit last week.
I have 2 grown sons, 22 and 25. I will be grandmother in February or early
March.
My significant other is named Charlie too! He had auto accident in 1999
which left him a quadriplegic. I care for him now and nurse outside my home
part time. His wreck was alcohol related.
It is only one of many tragedies in my life that is result of alcohol and
drugs….but you probably know that story! We can all tell it….just change
names and tragedies!
Great to have another poster!
Hope to get to know you better.
We will be Ibonauts one day!

My lovely cats continued to “let the light in” so to speak by doing such
kind and generous actions as stepping on my keyboard or mouse and setting
off the still-turned on monitor-cause we’re all such stoners we never
thought to actually turn it off, and by stepping on the blackout curtains we

Your messages are a real inspiration Preston.,  It makes it all worth it reading them.  Did you guys really see IGGY?? That is so cool.  Have never heard of O Rang but will look for it if possible here in NZ>  I know swimming can be a pain at a lot of public pools but nothing beats the feeling of finding a pool to yourself, breaking the water and just playing or swimming,.  Its kind of like the whole me thing or being able to be yourself.  I usually flip backwards, make dolphin noises and act like a total idiot but it feels good.  Allison

Hi Tom,
I think her name is Barbara Judd, but you’d better let me check that
tomorrow before calling her. As a matter of fact, I won’t send you the
number until tomorrow when I’m sure it is her. I do have the number for her,
but would feel really silly if you wrote back saying you called her and she
hadn’t a clue what you were talking about.

>The sheer opportunity for personal change this plant
offers is just magickal.<

I completely agree.

>As for the “not fun” thread, that depends on what each of us brings to the
table, emotionally, you know? I’m flashing on Iggy and his Stooges and
their version of “No Fun”.<

I have been a Stooges fan for years and years. V and I saw Iggy walking
around LES one afternoon and followed him into Tomkins Square Park where I
asked if he wanted to smoke a bowl. “No, thank you,” he said in his funny
Detroit accent.
He was so cute! (In a non-gay sort of way of course…LOL)
We saw them play (Stooges) on their first recent reunion tour, but missed
the last show just a few nights ago.
And I do agree basically with your assessment of the “no fun” thing.

>Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available?<

V does, but I’ve not gotten to that point yet. Post ibo, I have to admit,
I’ve suddenly found I not only like experimenting with new real mixing work,
you know, 2 songs at one time thing, but am actually able to do it somewhat.
My girlfriend is the “real” dj in our home still. She first was the one who
decided she wanted to do it- I caught the bug from watching her first buy
turn tables, then actually go out and get herself a decent paying gig doing
it. “If she can do it, well then, I can do it too!” I thought, and sure
enough I can. That said, I usually merely “play” music I like and appeals to
me, but haven’t been doing the “mixing” thing until very recently- and am
loving it. As soon as I do burn some stuff I’ll be sure to let you know and
get your address. I’d love to share.

>but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.<

I’ve been taking baths almost daily- but I don’t like public swimming pools,
they sort of creep me out, and the North Atlantic (or mid-Atlantic,
whatever) where I live isn’t the most appealing of beaches/swimming water-
especially having grown up in Sarasota, Florida, which to this day has some
of the nicest most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen and visited.
One particular CD that I’ve been playing the hell outta lately, post ibo
particularly, since pre-ibo I’d not for some reason paid it much attention,
is Perry Ferrel’s solo album called “A Song Yet to be Sung.” It’s brilliant
and beautiful. It’s not Jane’s Addiction, but that’s cool, it’s different. I
can definitely hear traces of Porno for Pyros in it, but it is still a bit
different than that.
If you can find the band O Rang you’ll be doing yourself a big favor
too- the album I have is called “Fields and Waves,” that is absolutely
brilliant. I played it through twice, first time through while waiting for
the ibo to take effect and the second time, well, let’s just say I almost
wasn’t able to sit up long enough to hit “play” again- and it was AWESOME to
slide into the ibo space with this playing softly. I coulda actually used a
little more volume, but I was listening for ibo messages too and didn’t want
to be distracted. Don’t know if that was a mistake or not actually, partly
due to reading Marc’s post and talking to him too about his listening to the
jazz stuff and how effective it was for him. Anyway, O Rang I’ve discovered
is now out of print, so it’s going to be tough to find- they’ve got another
album too called something like “Instinct of Herds” or something along those
lines, I jsut found out today while looking for more of their stuff, but as
noted, all their work (both albums) are out of print so I can’t even order
it through Virgin Mega-Store where I was today. I found and bought my VERY
FIRST EVER electronica music cd today- all Jane’s Addiction covers too. LOL,
how happy was I to find this? Very. I was looking for something totally
different than my usual choices, so I bought that cover cd, but then I also
found “In the Flat Fields” by Bauhaus on sale and couldn’t resist snatching
that too, as they are my all time very very very very very very very very
very very (other than perhaps for the Cure) all time favorite band ever.
so before I ramble on any further I bid you all (and Tom too since this
is mostly answering his email) adieu, good night, and lots of real genuine
heartfelt peace and love,
Preston

Sorry if my post in any way appeared to indicate

of the HRC. It was made to announce the requirement
to submit abstracts on
ibogaine to the ibogaine list indicating that there
is an April 30th
deadline on
submissions to the conference. Any funds provided
to the Dora Weiner
Foundation
would be used, if they can be raised, to allow
myself and two other persons
to attend the conference, the number based on
acceptance of abstracts and
available funding. This would not be possible
without direct funding to
DWF as HRC
scholarship information indicated only partial
scholarships would be
available
and that they do not include transportation or
hotels costs.   My hope was to
raise the funds and not be a burdon to the HRC. And
certainly I would not
dispute your statement that funds can be given
directly to the HRC and as you
indicate donors can “specify what” they “want done
with the money.”  I
hope you
have not taken offense at my solicitation and I
hope this clarifies what the
funds would be used for by DWF:  HRC conference
attendance and the
preparation

of all authors who would wish to be included.
Thanks for your understanding.

Any “how to
write a
profesional grant application”?
I’m trying to find the respectable way to get 4-5k to visit Sara to learn her way and record it learning facilitation and focusing more on post ibo, dialog afterwards, through words, sound, visual “art” or whatever.  But first things first.  I thought you might be able to help.
Once I get a respectable grant application out, then I’ll get that out to as many as possible, travel mags, maps and friends, can you think of anyone else?
This work, it’s too important to listen good before I act.  So any advice you have is most welcome.

Be Well Brother,

You know something Jason, that occured to me too- why didn’t I notice any of
the “apply to speak at this cool conference on any topic you’d like” notices
that must have gone out and about- right?- but I’m sure I didn’t see one,
unless I accidentially deleted it, which with me is entirely possible.
When Jack Black did his “High Times Investigative Reporter” routine on
Saturday night live a few years ago, my girlfriend V and I were amazed at
how close he came- except I don’t EVER wear tie-die. (NOthing personal to
those who do, but I, myself, don’t. I think I might own something that looks
vaguely tie-died, but, well, I never wear it.) When he gets to the office
and sets up his tape to play, the one on which he’s recorded the local
politicians discussing who killed JFK and the fields of pot the feds are
growing and keeping just for them, the staff all gather around listening to
the tape- but no sound comes out. Black stops the tape after a moment, after
one of the staff something like, “there’s nothing coming out.” He says,
“oh,” or something, rewinds the tape and punches play, again, only this time
without record. He’s basically recorded over his secret taping of the
politician, and all we can now here is a voice, the staffer who said
“there’s nothing coming out.”
LOL, I myself have not only done similar things (like conduct an hour
and a half interview with DAvid Borden of DRCNet only to discover I was
using a non-working tape recorder and hadn’t taken a single note, or when I
videotaped Ralph Nader for HT and reached up a few minutes into the
recording and turned OFF the microphone, thinking I was turning it on,
Nuther big LOL- I still got paid for that, amazingly enough) but I’ve done
the SAME thing, recording accidentally over some important interview or
other.
Anyway, peace and love all, sorry this is so off topic.
Preston

peace and Love,

I’d like to hear about the deadlines before they pass. Any “how to write a

Preston i’m stoned and don’t careflly read every single message here or
that is all I’d be doing but I remember the call for abstracts sent
here at least 5 times, howard sent it, then allan clear sent a letter
to this list when he got mad at howard asking for donations making it
sound like dora wiener was putting on the conference saying he asked
patrick to do the panel then there were more letters, more last minute
calls for abstracts, more letters, more information about scholarships,
last chance for scholarships. this was posted, talked about all over
here in at least 25 messages in the last 6 months.

Your baked a lot too aren’t you preston? 😉 go junkie potheads! 🙂 or

POT ACTIVIST JAILED

Saskatoon – One of Canada’s best-known marijuana activists was
sentenced
Thursday to three months in jail after pleading guilty to
trafficking
when
he passed a joint to a supporter last March.

Marc Emery, president of the B.C. Marijuana Party, was charged
with
trafficking after he spoke at a political rally at the University
of
Saskatchewan in March.

Mr. Emery’s lawyer said the sentence is too strict for simply
passing
one
joint to one person.

“I do have an issue with the length of the sentence,” said Leanne

Johnson.
“Three months is a bit of overkill, perhaps, for passing one joint
to
one
person.”

Outside the courthouse, Mr. Emery said his devotion to marijuana
won’t
change.

“Marijuana is the most beautiful, perfect plant ever put on this
earth.
I’m
a great devotee of it and that won’t change, no matter what a
judge
would
sentence me to.”

Marijuana has provided medical benefits to many Canadians, added
Mr.
Emery,
who has been a common figure at pro-pot rallies for years.

I’d like to hear about the deadlines before they pass.<

You know something Jason, that occured to me too- why didn’t I notice any of
the “apply to speak at this cool conference on any topic you’d like” notices
that must have gone out and about- right?- but I’m sure I didn’t see one,
unless I accidentially deleted it, which with me is entirely possible.
When Jack Black did his “High Times Investigative Reporter” routine on
Saturday night live a few years ago, my girlfriend V and I were amazed at
how close he came- except I don’t EVER wear tie-die. (NOthing personal to
those who do, but I, myself, don’t. I think I might own something that looks
vaguely tie-died, but, well, I never wear it.) When he gets to the office
and sets up his tape to play, the one on which he’s recorded the local
politicians discussing who killed JFK and the fields of pot the feds are
growing and keeping just for them, the staff all gather around listening to
the tape- but no sound comes out. Black stops the tape after a moment, after
one of the staff something like, “there’s nothing coming out.” He says,
“oh,” or something, rewinds the tape and punches play, again, only this time
without record. He’s basically recorded over his secret taping of the
politician, and all we can now here is a voice, the staffer who said
“there’s nothing coming out.”
LOL, I myself have not only done similar things (like conduct an hour
and a half interview with DAvid Borden of DRCNet only to discover I was

Hi Tom,
I think her name is Barbara Judd, but you’d better let me check that
tomorrow before calling her. As a matter of fact, I won’t send you the
number until tomorrow when I’m sure it is her. I do have the number for her,
but would feel really silly if you wrote back saying you called her and she
hadn’t a clue what you were talking about.

The sheer opportunity for personal change this plant
offers is just magickal.<

I completely agree.

As for the “not fun” thread, that depends on what each of us brings to the
table, emotionally, you know? I’m flashing on Iggy and his Stooges and
their version of “No Fun”.<

I have been a Stooges fan for years and years. V and I saw Iggy walking
around LES one afternoon and followed him into Tomkins Square Park where I
asked if he wanted to smoke a bowl. “No, thank you,” he said in his funny
Detroit accent.
He was so cute! (In a non-gay sort of way of course…LOL)
We saw them play (Stooges) on their first recent reunion tour, but missed
the last show just a few nights ago.
And I do agree basically with your assessment of the “no fun” thing.

Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available?<

V does, but I’ve not gotten to that point yet. Post ibo, I have to admit,
I’ve suddenly found I not only like experimenting with new real mixing work,
you know, 2 songs at one time thing, but am actually able to do it somewhat.
My girlfriend is the “real” dj in our home still. She first was the one who
decided she wanted to do it- I caught the bug from watching her first buy
turn tables, then actually go out and get herself a decent paying gig doing
it. “If she can do it, well then, I can do it too!” I thought, and sure
enough I can. That said, I usually merely “play” music I like and appeals to
me, but haven’t been doing the “mixing” thing until very recently- and am
loving it. As soon as I do burn some stuff I’ll be sure to let you know and
get your address. I’d love to share.

but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.<

I’ve been taking baths almost daily- but I don’t like public swimming pools,
they sort of creep me out, and the North Atlantic (or mid-Atlantic,
whatever) where I live isn’t the most appealing of beaches/swimming water-
especially having grown up in Sarasota, Florida, which to this day has some
of the nicest most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen and visited.
One particular CD that I’ve been playing the hell outta lately, post ibo
particularly, since pre-ibo I’d not for some reason paid it much attention,
is Perry Ferrel’s solo album called “A Song Yet to be Sung.” It’s brilliant
and beautiful. It’s not Jane’s Addiction, but that’s cool, it’s different. I
can definitely hear traces of Porno for Pyros in it, but it is still a bit
different than that.
If you can find the band O Rang you’ll be doing yourself a big favor
too- the album I have is called “Fields and Waves,” that is absolutely
brilliant. I played it through twice, first time through while waiting for
the ibo to take effect and the second time, well, let’s just say I almost
wasn’t able to sit up long enough to hit “play” again- and it was AWESOME to
slide into the ibo space with this playing softly. I coulda actually used a
little more volume, but I was listening for ibo messages too and didn’t want
to be distracted. Don’t know if that was a mistake or not actually, partly
due to reading Marc’s post and talking to him too about his listening to the
jazz stuff and how effective it was for him. Anyway, O Rang I’ve discovered
is now out of print, so it’s going to be tough to find- they’ve got another
album too called something like “Instinct of Herds” or something along those
lines, I jsut found out today while looking for more of their stuff, but as
noted, all their work (both albums) are out of print so I can’t even order
it through Virgin Mega-Store where I was today. I found and bought my VERY
FIRST EVER electronica music cd today- all Jane’s Addiction covers too. LOL,
how happy was I to find this? Very. I was looking for something totally
different than my usual choices, so I bought that cover cd, but then I also
found “In the Flat Fields” by Bauhaus on sale and couldn’t resist snatching
that too, as they are my all time very very very very very very very very
very very (other than perhaps for the Cure) all time favorite band ever.
so before I ramble on any further I bid you all (and Tom too since this
is mostly answering his email) adieu, good night, and lots of real genuine
heartfelt peace and love,
Preston

Please send me the contact info for your post-ibo support guy or gal. That
is the area we want to get better with out here for our west coast,
southwest area sessions. We have great results with regular real people,
but experienced, (or willing to become experienced) counselors are fewer.
I hope to learn the protocols and techniques they are finding most
effective.

I’m liking your narrative to the list, congratulations on the rejuvenation
of your brain and body.  That is a sacred gift from this plant and I’m
glad you can gift back to us your DJ work and your articulate sharing on
MindVox. Time passing gives people a “window” of 2-3 months, post ibo, for
this willpower and awareness boost to help put in place better choices and
health patterns. Genuine second chances are pretty rare out here in
consensus reality. The sheer opportunity for personal change this plant
offers is just magickal.

As for the “not fun” thread, that depends on what each of us brings to the
table, emotionally, you know? I’m flashing on Iggy and his Stooges and
their version of “No Fun”…There are plenty of walking wounded with
trails of woe seeking a save in their session with ibo. Some people have
worked on themselves and let go of most of their pain and trauma in
decades past from that work. These clients report an intensity and depth
from this that definately isn’t party-hearty type fun, but it’s more up
than the hell patrol many addicts are describing. Everyone has their place
on The Wheel, I guess. Grinding down an ego has to be uncomfortable, it
seems.

Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available? I’m familiar with and
fond of a lot of avante-gard alternative rock and techno music, but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.

Respectfully,

Dr. Tom

feeling mumbo-jumboish.
;-)))
Peace and love, for real all, and thanks kindly for the suggestion- I hope I
can finally eventually get this page to load, because I’m jonsing to make
music, and I just can’t seem to wring the sounds I want out of either my
acoustic nor electric guitars at the moment. (Don’t have enough electric
effects pedals, and the acoustic, well, it doesn’t throb really.)
Preston (it’s gotta start somewhere and I don’t know about the rest of you,
but I just do not want to subject myself for now at least to any more
fear/hate/death/murder mongering tv/radio/news/etc. I’ve not watched a lick
of tv since ibo, have been steadily deleting every bit of “news” type email
too- all my NYTimes, Buzzflash/Moveon.org/etc mail…straight to the delete
file. For now I’m on break darn it. I want peace and love in my life if I
have to make it all myself…with V of course.

Preston you need Reason, you can download it off dc++:
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ , it’s amazing file sharing software) –
if you’ve got a decent firewall and a.v. program, viruses won’t be a
roblem  – you can d/l norton 2004, Mcafee  or any other firewall anyway
(from dc ) – anything for nothing, but install Reason, plug your keyboard
into the bus socket and your a walking talking band – d/l different sound
packs all the time – I couldn’t live without it,you wont believe the
amount/range of sounds – fruity loops is dead in the ground (no offence
whoever recomended it) – I play in a bands and we all use it, it’s a god of
sound programs and intense fun. Of course you could always buy it –

Preston,

Have you tried Fruity Loops?  It’s easy, cheap(or
free, if you don’t mind cracks), and relatively simple
to use.

Preston

Please send me the contact info for your post-ibo support guy or gal. That
is the area we want to get better with out here for our west coast,
southwest area sessions. We have great results with regular real people,
but experienced, (or willing to become experienced) counselors are fewer.
I hope to learn the protocols and techniques they are finding most
effective.

I’m liking your narrative to the list, congratulations on the rejuvenation
of your brain and body.  That is a sacred gift from this plant and I’m
glad you can gift back to us your DJ work and your articulate sharing on
MindVox. Time passing gives people a “window” of 2-3 months, post ibo, for
this willpower and awareness boost to help put in place better choices and
health patterns. Genuine second chances are pretty rare out here in
consensus reality. The sheer opportunity for personal change this plant
offers is just magickal.

As for the “not fun” thread, that depends on what each of us brings to the
table, emotionally, you know? I’m flashing on Iggy and his Stooges and
their version of “No Fun”…There are plenty of walking wounded with
trails of woe seeking a save in their session with ibo. Some people have
worked on themselves and let go of most of their pain and trauma in
decades past from that work. These clients report an intensity and depth
from this that definately isn’t party-hearty type fun, but it’s more up
than the hell patrol many addicts are describing. Everyone has their place
on The Wheel, I guess. Grinding down an ego has to be uncomfortable, it
seems.

Do you have any CD’s of your DJ sessions available? I’m familiar with and
fond of a lot of avante-gard alternative rock and techno music, but since
moving to the Southwestern desert, a void of hip culture has been my
second most uncomfortable collateral damage. The first being no available
modern olympic swimming pools to keep in touch with the water goddess.
Any CD’s or links to internet radio programming you are moved by would be
very welcome.

Respectfully,

Dr. Tom

Sean I’ve never been addicted to anything and haven’t done
ibogaine…………………. yet! 🙂 I am thinking maybe it will
become easier to get it soon and I’m going for it 🙂 I’ve been on the
list for 3 years or more and I want to say that it is so cool to see
you, Preston, Marc, so many people who come here, find what they need,
do it instead of talking about how they wish they could or want to and
then share it here. Everything is so alive it’s become amazing 🙂 You
all have a lot of courage.

Big thanks for reminding me, I have mindvox in my bookmarks bar but
haven’t looked at ibogaine.mindvox.com in a couple weeks, holyshit it’s
tripled in size. Beautiful work thanks Patrick, Dave, all of you. I’ve
got something cool to look through right now 🙂

This is like being infected I’m excited! all the possibility is
spreading 🙂

Hi Andy,

I am right where your son will hopefully be soon, so I thought that

some of my web leg work might be useful.  I don’t know if you have
checked out the ibogaine.minvox site; there is a wealth of
information
there on the ibo universe, especially if you link in and out.

As for post ibo therapy in particular, I found the UK ibo website
particularly helpful. If you go to ibogaine.mindvox.com, then go to
the
links, scroll down to ibogaine UK.
This site also gives info on ibo providers and treatment in the UK
of
course.

In the treatment section (post ibo) it is suggested that “talking
only” therapy, while it can be helpful, seem less useful than
encounter
type therapies. Primal therapy, bioenergetics, anything that can help

release repressed emotions. I use Internal Family Systems, which you
can learn more about with a quick googol. It is believed that
repressed
painful are often the root cause of addiction. Dance therapy like 5
Rhythms or Biodanza.

Hope this helps a little. And while you are at mindvox, cheek out
the
arts and images page.  You will find the work of Dave Hunter, a great

artist and really caring and committed ibogaine supporter. His work
is
spectacular, Imo.

Pax,
Sean

regarding music apps, I composed that loop in Acid. I am currently
procrastinating on learning ProTools, which I plan to use to record
some songs I have written. I also have played with Reason/Ableton/etc
but as a visual artist I spend more time with my graphic apps and my
newly acquired status of “dad” doesn’t leave much time to
play-with/learn new stuff.<

Any suggestions on safe downloading of rythm type programs for my computer?
I’m VERY interested in starting learning how to do more rythm programing, to
go with my dj work. (Got another gig for tomorrow night outta the blue- at
the Slipper Room where V dj’s Saturdays. They’ve got a new night of
burlesque going, and I’m going to fill in on the decks (cds only- I don’t
lug around vynal like V does).
Peace and love,
Preston (V says there are programs she’s read about that I can download, but
she doesn’t know what they’re called.)

I imagine once I am in the midst of the Ibo-flight, a
short ‘loop’ could turn into an eternally morphing

Hello Maya, the’Ballpark’ for treatment here is around a $1000 – street providers charge more and give 2 treatments but these are often people who’ve taken Ibogaine a week or 2 before ( for the first time )they begin administering and in my opinion are totally unequipped to help anyone getting clean – so expect to pay between Ł1000 and Ł1200 for treatment. – That’s the most you should have to pay. I’ll send you the address and details off the list , my address is at the bottom of the message should you want to p.m., I’m also using methadone right now (50mls.) and other painkillers as a result of injury – I also use a lot more opiates and have done for around 17 years, I’m determined this year is going to rearange everything. Like I said, aftercare and medication is free here and there are some good programs, if you get clean , they can’t help you enough……….. Please mail me off list and I’ll give you details of providers ……Sjonnygee.

Hello Maya, the’Ballpark’ for treatment here is around a $1000 – street providers charge more and give 2 treatments but these are often people who’ve taken Ibogaine a week or 2 before ( for the first time )they begin administering and in my opinion are totally unequipped to help anyone getting clean – so expect to pay between Ł1000 and Ł1200 for treatment. – That’s the most you should have to pay. I’ll send you the address and details off the list , my address is at the bottom of the message should you want to p.m., I’m also using methadone right now (50mls.) and other painkillers as a result of injury – I also use a lot more opiates and have done for around 17 years, I’m determined this year is going to rearange everything. Like I said, aftercare and medication is free here and there are some good programs, if you get clean , they can’t help you enough……….. Please mail me off list and I’ll give you details of providers ……Sjonnygee.

Hi Preston,

Thanks for this note of balance.  My friends have been asking me if they should try ibo for anything from dieting to quitting smoking.  So far I have been telling them that would really recommend ibogaine for people with a really strong addiction who have not had success with other ways of quitting.

As for pscho/spiritual ibogaine use, I would direct questions tom those who have used ibo fro that purpose.  For psycho therapeutic, I do think that ibo has been a great tool in understanding the psychological part of addiction.  But again I would refer questions from the non addicted to others who have used the drug for these reasons.

I guess bottom line; In my opinion the decision to take ibogaine should not be taken lightly.  As many others have said, this is no party drug.  Do your research, ask questions, seek answers. Of course ibogaine is not available in city parks like mushrooms and LSD is at times, so I think there is little danger of casual ibo use at this time.

Finally, please remember that these are just my opinions and observations as someone who recently took ibogaine to help cease a 20 year addiction.  I don’t claim to be any sort of ibo expert; just one of the growing ibo underground, which I am very grateful to be a part.

Pax,
Sean

Hey Marc,

Thanks for the report.  It was worth waiting for.  Interesting side note: I thought I had come down quite a bit at 12 hours and was really dead wrong.  I was still really quite high.  I guess this could be of interest to sitters.  Just because an ibonaught thinks they are back at 12 hours, maybe you should remind them that they may be still quite high and just not as aware of it.

Hi List,thought Id check in for the week,holding steady at 11 weeks ,no urges for opiates & no opiate use-YEAH!!!!But when I read about the self destructive deal I have to respond,that has been my week.I have been able to drink socially for a while.It has been great to go out & have a couple beers with friends.However,the past couple of weeks it started to become more of a priority,I started to be able to drink more,& I had a couple of mild hangovers.Then Sunday I got drunk.I didnt go to work ,I didnt answer the phone,I felt SO low.I thought alot about my ibogaine insights & had -well chose to be honest with myself-my behaviour was self desrtuctive & doesnt fit my new lifestyle.One of my ibogaine statements I affirm each day is about telling myself the truth,by asking inside.Well ,that was challenging!Im not trying to lay out some 12 step nonsense either,believe me Im not 12 step.That low I felt was almost as bad as when I was fucking up with the pills,so Im choosing to affirm the truths I learned,they dont mean shit unless I live it!Im loving hearing everyones progress & plans.Callie- Im a nurse too,psych 25 years.happy trailers-shell

Preston it is wonderful to hear you describe your experience. I think the
most important thing for everyone to keep in mind is that Ibogaine is not
about ‘getting off drugs’. If that effect occurs for you, fantastic! I have
spoken with alot of people who are on the forum but privately as well as
other people in general. I have come to the knowledge that for me, it is
more about living a fucked up life that I have a problem with. I have never
wanted to stop getting high. I love euphoria!! Always did, always will! I
believe most people feel that way but often confuse the issue of getting
high and fucking up your life. If after the experience, I wish to stay off
meth and other drugs fine. I am more interested in learning more about
myself and my behavior patterns and changing those that I see as unhealthy.
Let’s face it, if drugs were legal, plentiful and cheap, the majority of us
would not be experiencing any major problems with getting high. I know with
me, it wasn’t the euphoria that plagued me but society’s treatment of drugs
and the people that use them. It is expensive, risky in getting ripped off
and/or busted and can be dangerous to your health (due to poor quality
standards in manufacturing) all because it is illegal. So the problem as I
see it is not specifically drugs, or depression or stealing and lying,
whatever! It is the bigger picture of engaging in self destructive behavior
and possessing a self destructive attitude. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE AND
CHANGE. I think what it comes down to is I could never proselytize any
belief system or philosophy, especially with Ibogaine for one’s motivation
and reason for using it (and other drugs) really is personal, subjective and
relative. That’s the beauty of this: there are no firm ground rules or

To answer the question, “Am I off the list!!??!  Is it br0k3n!?!!@#!!”

No…  Yahoo seems to have reset their spam filters — yet again — and
rearranged things.

If you’ve had no email from this list in the last 24 hours … Look at the
left, go to the folder called [Bulk] and it will be pretty much completely
filled with messages that originate here.

Click on any message, then right above it, hit the button that sez, “This
is not spam.”

If you just add the address, “ibogaine@mindvox.com” to your addressbook,
it will stop doing that every single time something at yahoo changes.

People on Hotmail … well, Hotmail is perpetually fucked and on overload.
This ain’t new.  The MindVox mail server WILL NOT keep an SMTP connection
open for 3 minutes while Hotmail grinds, whirrs, and sputters to life in
the background.

It tries a few times, waits, meditates on the state of existence, tries
summore, sends a -pr0bE=> “HelLO r U 4l!ve?”  If none of that works out,
it gives up, throws your account in the garbage, and finds something
better to do with its time.

Hotmail sucks and is evil.  Get another mailbox.  We will not be changing
the mail system to sit n’ spin and wait for 3-5 minutes for SMTP to answer
at the other end.  It we did that with every single connection — with the
sheer volume of mail that sails in and out of here — within about 48-72
hours, everything would get completely tangled; the mail daemon would need
to be killed, reset, and resurrected.  And… basically, fuck Micro$oft.

If you cannot read these words … please let me know.  Thank you,

Patrick

Hi Andy,

I am right where your son will hopefully be soon, so I thought that some of my web leg work might be useful.  I don’t know if you have checked out the ibogaine.minvox site; there is a wealth of information there on the ibo universe, especially if you link in and out.

As for post ibo therapy in particular, I found the UK ibo website particularly helpful. If you go to ibogaine.mindvox.com, then go to the links, scroll down to ibogaine UK.
This site also gives info on ibo providers and treatment in the UK of course.

In the treatment section (post ibo) it is suggested that “talking only” therapy, while it can be helpful, seem less useful than encounter type therapies. Primal therapy, bioenergetics, anything that can help release repressed emotions. I use Internal Family Systems, which you can learn more about with a quick googol. It is believed that repressed painful are often the root cause of addiction. Dance therapy like 5 Rhythms or Biodanza.

Hope this helps a little. And while you are at mindvox, cheek out the arts and images page.  You will find the work of Dave Hunter, a great artist and really caring and committed ibogaine supporter. His work is spectacular, Imo.

the ‘music’ playing on gammalyte is something I made from a bunch of

you could always tune into gammalyte’s splash page during your ibo,

Hi Andy, I’m in the process of taking my ecg/bloods and liver function tests right now, I take Ibogaine in a few weeks . I live in the U.K. now and the prices for the treatment vary , as does the quality of treatment.  
             Some treatment providers are in the the front and out the back before you can sneeze – depending on your personal needs, this can work or fall flat on its’ face, I have a very good contact address for you if you want to contact me off list.These people provide an all encompassing, sympathetic analytical consultation before treatment to assess you.    
              As regards aftercare there are locally based services with much the same kind of Good  aftertreatment involving days away and intense therapy  – If you want to mail me off list (I’ll leave my address at the end ) – I’ll fill you in on prices and the providers. The aftercare medication and therapy is free, this being Britain (the N.H.S.) The only cost is the Ibogaine itself – Long live the National Health Service – I don’t know how you Yanks cope with those med. insurance bills !   Ibogaine treatment and aftercare are well provided for over here  – mail me  Andy….Cheers………….. !!!

Very happy to make your acquaintance.
I would be more than happy for you to give me a review in any and all magazines you are affliliated with. Make sure and mention in your request for a copy that you you want to do a review for media publications.
I agree with you when you say that it is like finding God. In fact I would say it is like opening the door to the many tiers of spiritual realms between us and God. Each has its own surprise waiting for us to discover. The Eboga Realm is the way in but ultimately we can find it in ourselves once the work is done and our hearts are renewed.
Sounds like you are on the right path.
Keep up the good work,
Best wishes,

This is beautiful, and I must say, I am highly intrigued and would love to
read your work. I’ll be checking out your link later today. If you’d like, I
am interested in possibly giving you a review at DrugWar.com too, if you’d
be interested. Let me know if there are any review copies please Lee.
I’d also say I’m interested in reviewing it for High Times, but they’re
still a bit resistant to the whole “Ibogaine/eboga” thing.
Because really, I am seeing things remarkably similarly to how you’ve
described them above- this ibogaine/eboga thing is highly spiritual, and I
feel almost, uhhhh, like I’ve found god or something.
LOL!
Weird. I mean, I’ve felt like somewhat this before, when doing massive
amounts of shrooms, but not exactly the same. Still, I tend to feel that the
heavily psychedelic plants and other substances were put here precisely for
the spiritual reasons, to allow those of us who are not 20 year-meditators
and the like, to access those realms impossible to see/experience without
the help of mothernature/planetearth/etc. I also feel, a conclusion reached
during one of the aforementioned session with massive amounts of shrooms
intook, that those who have banned/are banning these substances are actual,
real-life personifications of the dark force side, the destructive side, the
true-Satanic side of things (by Satanic, I do NOT mean the classic christian
sense of the term- I mean the lying, thieving, murderous, hateful nasty
side, but without the horn-devil image.) that cannot abide with us communing
with the spirits or whatever they are who can and do teach us things through
the use of these plants – including pot too.
>For those of you in the media it is possible to obtain a free copy by

Ahhh, I see you’ve answered my question already.

Subject: [ibogaine] Personal Introduction to List – Lee Albert

Hi Everyone,
I have just recently joined the list and I would like to introduce myself.
I go under the name of Lee Albert and have just published my first
ibogaine/eboga related book after 6 years working with eboga to deal with my
own troubled past. I came to eboga/ibogaine as I was a man in deep pain and
deep personal trouble. I have healed deeply because of it and that is why 3
years ago I decided to write about my experiences and the things I was
beginning to learn with eboga as I realised its power and its importance for
psycho/spiritual healing. At the time I went through quite an incredible
experience detailed in the second book. However, the first book recounts the
most incredible experience of my life.
In all there will be 3 books detailing my journey with eboga/ibogaine. The
first is called Amazing Grace and can be reviewed via my web site
www.myeboga.com where a number of the introductory chapters, table of
contents and book cover are included. I have just recently revamped the site
as I was occupied with the book publication. A Spanish version of the book
will be released in the new year.
While my interest is not so much the mechanics of anti-addiction treatment,
my work compliments the process surrounding addiction and its resolution.
Once the physical side of addiction is under control the underlying
psycho/spiritual work is the same as what I am focussed on. My own area of
interest is abuse and trauma as these are the things I have been working on
within myself. I did not come to eboga/ibogaine as an addict in the normal
sense of the word. I certainly was an addict in many other ways.
I have joined the list to tune into any information which comes through the
list that might be of interest to me (contributing where appropriate) and
also to keep the list updated regarding my own work. I am sorry to say I don
‘t read many of the emails on the list except those whose headings catch my
attention. If you want to connect with me there you will need to put my name
Lee in the email heading.
In my own experience the long term successful outcome with eboga/ibogaine
requires a lot of ongoing work but once we connect with the spiritual forces
at work we are guided in that journey. I see eboga/ibogaine as a spiritually
guided process of self-transformation. The rewards are great for those who
persevere.
Myself I have undergone about 12 full sessions with ibogaine (a number of
those were with the Indra extract). For many of those sessions a smaller
dose amount would have sufficed. I did not realise that at the time as I was
preoccupied with my pain and did not understand the process I was going
through properly. I now undergo what I call “mini-sessions” using
“threshold” amounts of ibogaine (i.e., amounts sufficient to bring about
waking visions which can be assisted via inner focusing possibly similar to
methods used in traditional meditation) leading to resolution of ongoing
problems and spiritual guidance appropriate to that moment. For someone who
has been heavily abused as I was, the process does require a number of years
and benefits greatly by checking in with the Eboga spirit from time to time
to keep on the right path as well as deal with the rising pain resulting
from gradually ! revealed trauma. It also requires time regardless of the
level of abuse to retrain the ego to a new holistic way of being to allow
the soul or inner child to fully emerge. Again mini-sessions assist in this
area.
I refer to eboga rather than ibogaine as I want to put my own take on the
subject (which is very much based on its psycho-spirituality) and widen the
field away from its present public focus as an anti-addiction therapy. I see
Eboga spirituality as being at the root of eboga. I want to widen
understanding of Eboga by highlighting its spirituality first and
foremostly, putting its anti-addiction properties into that perspective. In
this way I feel it will be more accessible to many who do not see themselves
in that grouping and also I believe it will raise the stakes in terms of its
true nature and potential.
I hope you all get a chance to read my book. It is a fusion of ideas built
around the myth of the Holy Grail. Many of the Eboga ideas will be delved
into more deeply in the subsequent books. For those of you in the media it
is possible to obtain a free copy by sending an email with your details to
the publisher. Details to be found on www.myeboga.com/freecopy.html. Also,
if you know of anyone in the media who might be interested, can you guide
them to this page or pass on this email? All publicity is gratefully
appreciated. The book won’t be available via Amazon until next month but it
is now available via the publisher (at 30% less) on www.authorhouse.com or
direct to its location on the publishers bookshop via my own web site
www.myboga.com/amazinggrace.html.
I plan on bringing out a second edition in the not too distant future to
make any amendments which are deemed desirable or necessary. To this end any
comments you may have after reading the book will be very much appreciated.
Wishing you all a safe journey.

Maya,

the ‘music’ playing on gammalyte is something I made from a bunch of samples, its just a really short loop, and doesn’t exist on cd. I’m not even sure if I have the original source, its embedded into the flash file right now.

you could always tune into gammalyte’s splash page during your ibo, just turn off the monitor, that would shed too much light on the subject… as it were. I like the idea of people plugged into gammalyte while experiencing ibo…

Preston it is wonderful to hear you describe your experience. I think the most important thing for everyone to keep in mind is that Ibogaine is not about ‘getting off drugs’. If that effect occurs for you, fantastic! I have spoken with alot of people who are on the forum but privately as well as other people in general. I have come to the knowledge that for me, it is more about living a fucked up life that I have a problem with. I have never wanted to stop getting high. I love euphoria!! Always did, always will! I believe most people feel that way but often confuse the issue of getting high and fucking up your life. If after the experience, I wish to stay off meth and other drugs fine. I am more interested in learning more about myself and my behavior patterns and changing those that I see as unhealthy. Let’s face it, if drugs were legal, plentiful and cheap, the majority of us would not be experiencing any major problems with getting high. I know with me, it wasn’t the euphoria that plagued me but society’s treatment of drugs and the people that use them. It is expensive, risky in getting ripped off and/or busted and can be dangerous to your health (due to poor quality standards in manufacturing) all because it is illegal. So the problem as I see it is not specifically drugs, or depression or stealing and lying, whatever! It is the bigger picture of engaging in self destructive behavior and possessing a self destructive attitude. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE AND CHANGE. I think what it comes down to is I could never proselytize any belief system or philosophy, especially with Ibogaine for one’s motivation and reason for using it (and other drugs) really is personal, subjective and relative. That’s the beauty of this: there are no firm ground rules or policy. What ever you go into it with is the reson to do it, and whatever you come out of it with is the benefit and effect. Anyway, I’m talking too much I think.

Have a really good day,
Julian

Hey Sean! Thanks for answering me. The person I spoke with who is going to guide me through the ‘flooding’ stage told me something similiar about the euphoria. That it is difficult to describe in words but that some people are relaxed and feel somewhat sedated yet others may feel tense, stimulated and enegized. Even during the ‘trip’ a person will feel differently, at times relaxed, at other times up! I guess it is subjectively personal.
Enjoy my man,

IBOGAINE . My Journey inside.

7-26-04 So I’m finally here and more ready to be free than I’ve ever been.
Well that’s just it, my perception is different. For quite some time now I
haven’t enjoyed doing drugs. I go through the process and spend the money
and obvious then there’s the ritual,  but then almost instantaneously I get
this horrible empty feeling that comes over me, a mix of guilt and sadness
and disgust and every time I say to myself “remember this, it makes you even
more miserable than you usually do, not to mention 100 bucks or so poorer”
but for some strange reason I wake up in the morning and I forget how badly
I felt just the night before and by the evening or at best the following
week it starts all over again. Methadone plays a huge part in keeping me in
that destructive behavior because there is no light at the end of the
tunnel. There is no walking away or even going to a detox. You are stuck and
a junkie, and addict whether yo! u like it or not. And when those things are
undeniable, feeling like a failure, and a waste of a good body and mind, are
unavoidable and then  going through that pathetic process is so much easier
hurting myself seems like a good trade off for the possibility of escaping
what I’ve done to myself  . And maybe its not that I’m looking to get high
because as I’ve said I do not get much enjoyment out of it but one thing is
for sure, when I get in that drug seeking mode I no longer think about
anything else. Those feelings of failure and inadequacy are no longer at the
forefront of my mind anyway, because I have something else on my mind.
I just know that if I can free myself from the meth the resolve to stay away
from drugs will be almost a certainty in my case.  Ibogaine, well what can I
say. I’m scared to death by some of the things I’ve read and more hopeful
than I can ever remember being by others. But the positive things certainly
have outweighed the negative and persuaded me enough to make the decision to
travel across the country to detox in a week. Something that would have
taken me more than a year had I attempted to do it by tapering. And who am I
kidding? Tapering slowly was never an option for me. A life on Methadone is
just about the most depressing thing I could imagine. It makes you feel so
marginalized, so less than, with that being said I couldn’t stand it another
minute. Another year? Let me just say that I don’t think it would have been
pretty had I continued one more day than I had. Liquid handcuffs is the best
way I’ve ! ever heard it put. And I’m not going to touch on what a hell that
year would be physically as well as mentally.
So I drank my last bottle yesterday morning and I had another for this
morning but which I dumped in the toilet. It felt great. The feeling of
knowing that I didn’t have to drink a poison one more day. A poison that was
destroying my bones and my teeth not to mention my hopes and my dreams all
to avoid begin just about as sick as you could imagine. What a terrible way
to live.
I just took  the ibogaine  let the healing begin! better lay down
one more thing before I blast off.  Life is so short and in a alot of ways
I’ve wasted many good years. But I can take the power back and turn that
time wasted around into time that led me to this point in my life. A
starting off point where I learn from my mistakes and maybe if I’m really
lucky help others to learn from my mistakes.
My body is beginning to vibrate and I feel like my heart is beating fast
but not that fast (140 per minute)… its almost time. Then the strangest
thing happens… Although terrified I begin to smile in a way I can only
remember smiling as a child. Not that sneaky smile or an embarrassed smile
that I’ve known for me whole adult life. As I try to stop it only gets
bigger.

So Miles Davis starts off with Autumn leaves and the smile gets even
bigger!!!!… and then into The Birth of the Cool. I knew it was coming on
strong when the sound was no longer coming from my ears and instead directly
from the back of my brain. Then bare with me, lots of cartoony things that I
was trying to follow but was having a hard time with  geometric patterns and
then pictures of the most beautiful churches I had ever seen maybe not from
this world but who knows  eyes closed but then as the music kept going I
started to feel as if with every note every sound every instrument was
playing a part in fixing my head. Its extremely hard to explain in words
after 3 hours thinking more than hallucinating with my eyes closed the
things I’ve done the friends I’ve lost and lots of random thoughts too that
were profound at the time and may have played a big part in my sub conscious
but when I look back not much of it made clear sense.! However when I would
open my eyes the ibogaine effects were obvious. furious flashes of light off
of everything. Not the trails I remember from my LSD mescaline days these
were much sharper and distinct. Then maybe four hours in I started to get
very sweaty and the ibogaine was well on but out of nowhere, which I now
know was part of the experience for me,  I started to get sicker and sicker
to the point that I somehow stood up and held the wall to get down stairs
and from what I hear that is quite early to come down a flight of stairs and
not to mention these were marble stairs!!!! I came down to let my caretakers
know that I was getting sick. Then when I looked at there faces and hear
them talking about me in the background the sickness began to consume me and
I was terrified I though OH MY GOD I’M STRANDED IN MEXICO AND THIS SHIT
ISN’T WORKING FOR ME!!!!  but something was different AND I FELT IT I kept
hearing my own voice  tell! ing me “remember this…REMEMBER THIS FEELING”
they gave me more ibogaine  and in 10 to 15 minutes I was off. Came back
upstairs and went completely inside my body. I watched this things in my
body shoot off like guizers WATCHING MY BODY CLEAN UP INTERNALLY, the
ibogaine was working and I had a front row seat!!!! I think at this point I
was so overwhelmed with what I had been though that I literally passed out
after another couple of hours. I then came down stairs and out of the dark
room about 6 hours later and all of a sudden I realized that I was no longer
sick and that it worked!!! . I couldn’t believe that was it.I kept asking
the caretakers if that was it or were the withdrawals coming back but they
didn’t or at least 95 % gone and did not return. But as for the ibogaine it
was far from over. The next hours and into the next few days”weeks in
retrospect” I have had a clarity of mind that I can’t ever remember having.
I am seeing life though new ! eyes. I felt a forgiveness that I have never
known before. A lot of laughing and a lot of crying and this is coming from
someone who just doesn’t cry over the next few days  but all feeling and its
wonderful. Trails, or the sharp bolts of light, for days and  but they only
start after it gets dark and there kinda fun. As for the day time everything
feels as if I’m almost experiencing it for the first time. Even getting back
to NYC after being gone for two weeks was different. NY was different. . My
sense of smell and taste brand new. I would consider this one of the most
worthwhile experiences of my life, it saved my life!!!!!!!!
I took small doses of Ibogaine for the next week every day to allow the
noribogaine build up and I’m gonna guess that it worked because no craving
for anything but pot and its been 22 days since my last dose of meth or I
did any other opiate. I’m not going to lie here, this experience is far from
a cake walk and 22 days later I’m only getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep and
still a lot of diraria but I think that might have been something I picked u
p in Mexico. But nothing in comparison to the kind of hell coming of
narcotics the conventional way.
This is nothing short of a gift from god, a god of some kind I’m not sure
what to think anymore, but certainly feel a oneness with the universe that I
can’t ever remember knowing, a peace, the noise in my head finally silenced.
This needs to be more readily available to people in need and for me I feel
anyone lucky enough to experience this has to show it the respect it
deserves and for me that means staying far away from the things that brought
me that terrible place I was before the ibogaine maybe even a debt of some
sort to pay back which is purely a personal thing but think of the lives
that could change with a little more education.

ON A SIDE NOTE… THIS WAS ME at 12 HOURS INTO IBOGAINE, Did the ibogaine at
3:00 mst go i nto vision leater. then as the ibogai 6went intp withdrwal so
bad it was like hell on heart but I took a other dose and 30 minutes later
it sedt me right off IO.then atg after sleeping for an hour but it felt like
ftill daytime all of a suddend I  and felt great omplwerwtwe find still a
lot of I wanteds to walk around and came down sraitr I was feeling woke up
and lay around a ctotoal clensing. I feel like I’m 15 year old”  HOW FUNNY
IS THAT. I REALLY THOUGHT I I ENOUGH GOING ON THERE TO TYPE A SENTANCE…
SILLY ME.

There is no such thing as a magic pill and it all depends on me now but
ibogiane showed me I have choices and that life is just begining and that
addiction IS reversable.

This is beautiful, and I must say, I am highly intrigued and would love to
read your work. I’ll be checking out your link later today. If you’d like, I
am interested in possibly giving you a review at DrugWar.com too, if you’d
be interested. Let me know if there are any review copies please Lee.
I’d also say I’m interested in reviewing it for High Times, but they’re
still a bit resistant to the whole “Ibogaine/eboga” thing.
Because really, I am seeing things remarkably similarly to how you’ve
described them above- this ibogaine/eboga thing is highly spiritual, and I
feel almost, uhhhh, like I’ve found god or something.
LOL!
Weird. I mean, I’ve felt like somewhat this before, when doing massive
amounts of shrooms, but not exactly the same. Still, I tend to feel that the
heavily psychedelic plants and other substances were put here precisely for
the spiritual reasons, to allow those of us who are not 20 year-meditators
and the like, to access those realms impossible to see/experience without
the help of mothernature/planetearth/etc. I also feel, a conclusion reached
during one of the aforementioned session with massive amounts of shrooms
intook, that those who have banned/are banning these substances are actual,
real-life personifications of the dark force side, the destructive side, the
true-Satanic side of things (by Satanic, I do NOT mean the classic christian
sense of the term- I mean the lying, thieving, murderous, hateful nasty
side, but without the horn-devil image.) that cannot abide with us communing
with the spirits or whatever they are who can and do teach us things through
the use of these plants – including pot too.

Ahhh, I see you’ve answered my question already.
Thanks very much for posting here Lee, and darn glad to meet you.

Subject: [ibogaine] Personal Introduction to List – Lee Albert

Hi Everyone,
I have just recently joined the list and I would like to introduce myself.
I go under the name of Lee Albert and have just published my first
ibogaine/eboga related book after 6 years working with eboga to deal with my
own troubled past. I came to eboga/ibogaine as I was a man in deep pain and
deep personal trouble. I have healed deeply because of it and that is why 3
years ago I decided to write about my experiences and the things I was
beginning to learn with eboga as I realised its power and its importance for
psycho/spiritual healing. At the time I went through quite an incredible
experience detailed in the second book. However, the first book recounts the
most incredible experience of my life.
In all there will be 3 books detailing my journey with eboga/ibogaine. The
first is called Amazing Grace and can be reviewed via my web site
www.myeboga.com where a number of the introductory chapters, table of
contents and book cover are included. I have just recently revamped the site
as I was occupied with the book publication. A Spanish version of the book
will be released in the new year.
While my interest is not so much the mechanics of anti-addiction treatment,
my work compliments the process surrounding addiction and its resolution.
Once the physical side of addiction is under control the underlying
psycho/spiritual work is the same as what I am focussed on. My own area of
interest is abuse and trauma as these are the things I have been working on
within myself. I did not come to eboga/ibogaine as an addict in the normal
sense of the word. I certainly was an addict in many other ways.
I have joined the list to tune into any information which comes through the
list that might be of interest to me (contributing where appropriate) and
also to keep the list updated regarding my own work. I am sorry to say I don
‘t read many of the emails on the list except those whose headings catch my
attention. If you want to connect with me there you will need to put my name
Lee in the email heading.
In my own experience the long term successful outcome with eboga/ibogaine
requires a lot of ongoing work but once we connect with the spiritual forces
at work we are guided in that journey. I see eboga/ibogaine as a spiritually
guided process of self-transformation. The rewards are great for those who
persevere.
Myself I have undergone about 12 full sessions with ibogaine (a number of
those were with the Indra extract). For many of those sessions a smaller
dose amount would have sufficed. I did not realise that at the time as I was
preoccupied with my pain and did not understand the process I was going
through properly. I now undergo what I call “mini-sessions” using
“threshold” amounts of ibogaine (i.e., amounts sufficient to bring about
waking visions which can be assisted via inner focusing possibly similar to
methods used in traditional meditation) leading to resolution of ongoing
problems and spiritual guidance appropriate to that moment. For someone who
has been heavily abused as I was, the process does require a number of years
and benefits greatly by checking in with the Eboga spirit from time to time
to keep on the right path as well as deal with the rising pain resulting
from gradually ! revealed trauma. It also requires time regardless of the
level of abuse to retrain the ego to a new holistic way of being to allow
the soul or inner child to fully emerge. Again mini-sessions assist in this
area.
I refer to eboga rather than ibogaine as I want to put my own take on the
subject (which is very much based on its psycho-spirituality) and widen the
field away from its present public focus as an anti-addiction therapy. I see
Eboga spirituality as being at the root of eboga. I want to widen

this way I feel it will be more accessible to many who do not see themselves
in that grouping and also I believe it will raise the stakes in terms of its
true nature and potential.
I hope you all get a chance to read my book. It is a fusion of ideas built
around the myth of the Holy Grail. Many of the Eboga ideas will be delved
into more deeply in the subsequent books. For those of you in the media it
is possible to obtain a free copy by sending an email with your details to
the publisher. Details to be found on www.myeboga.com/freecopy.html. Also,
if you know of anyone in the media who might be interested, can you guide
them to this page or pass on this email? All publicity is gratefully
appreciated. The book won’t be available via Amazon until next month but it
is now available via the publisher (at 30% less) on www.authorhouse.com or

Are there support options for post-ibogaine treatment in New York?<

Yes there are, but I don’t actually have the number at hand. If you need it,
I’ll scrape it together and pass it to you Andy, because there is apparently
a trained professional here in NYC doing just that- specializing in
counseling post-ibo patients.
Peace and love,

Are there support options for post-ibogaine treatment in New York?
My son is considering doing ibogaine and wants to relocate there or
London.
Is anyone listening from UK? He qualifies for British citizenship. What is
support there? Is treatment cheaper there?
What is the difference between post-therapy with a practitioner who knows
about ibogaine or anybody else?
I’m looking into support locally in Mass. where he qualifies for
inexpensive clinical type treatment, but relocation is best.

PS Preston,  I read your message to my partner regarding Limp Dick & he
started giggling.  Thank God its not just me was more or less the reply. <

LOL.
Um, well I guess I’m glad he giggled and more so, realized it ain’t just
him.
That’s actually another reason I write- we are all of us, the abusers and
the users, in the same boat together, and if we don’t share our experiences,
too many of us I think do feel like it IS “just us” going through whatever
it is we’re experiencing. I think that is one of the main good things about
the whole NA/AA/CA type stuff- it reminds us that we are not going through
whatever it is alone, that it’s been done before and is being done now by
countless others, no matter what it is.
I mean, whenever I hear a story about how someone needs money from me on
the street for this or that reason, I laugh, because there’s not a story
someone can tell me to try and scam cash outta me that I haven’t already
thought of and used too on someone or other. Whenever I get a reaction from
one drug or another, it’s not the first time someone has reacted that way-
there’s bound to be others who’ve also gone through it at some point.
My point is, if there really actually is one here, that I am glad I’ve
been able to let your boyfriend know he ain’t alone.

Peace and love Allison and all,
Preston

Hi Callie.   Have been reading all the posts but had a hard time trying to
reply.  So good to hear all the posts from Preston.  Was wondering if you
could also answer a question for me.  We use a chemical here in NZ.  Its an
acid and we just call it AA.  Does that mean anything to you and if so can
you tell me the correct term for it.  The 2nd A is for Acid but can not
think of the first word.  Its a chemical used to turn or manufacture drugs
if that makes any sense.  No probs if you want to give that one a miss or
maybe someone else can answer it.  Bit off the topic but putting it out
there anyway.   PS Preston,  I read your message to my partner regarding
Limp Dick & he started giggling.  Thank God its not just me was more or less
the reply.  Anyway, am glad to her all is good with you.  Take care & look
after yourself.    Allison

Charlie, You may have been on list for a long time but I have just seen you
tonight!
I want to introduce myself…
I am a 44 year old Practical Nurse on Methadone for 5 years.
I found this list by accident one night (divine intervention!) and it has
given me much hope. I have not had hope in many years!
I am saving to hopefully be treated this winter sometime and somewhere.
I had also been decreasing my dose but got to feeling edgy and asked for
detox to be stopped for a bit last week.
I have 2 grown sons, 22 and 25. I will be grandmother in February or early
March.
My significant other is named Charlie too! He had auto accident in 1999
which left him a quadriplegic. I care for him now and nurse outside my home
part time. His wreck was alcohol related.
It is only one of many tragedies in my life that is result of alcohol and
drugs….but you probably know that story! We can all tell it….just change
names and tragedies!
Great to have another poster!
Hope to get to know you better.
We will be Ibonauts one day!

Hi Callie,
Thank you for the warm welcome; I’ve indeed been on the list for a few
months, and only made a few, brief, posts, a while back.  I wanted to
introduce myself earlier, but wanted to catch up on reading the posts that
had piled up during the previous week (that was in mid June). I just
finished reading the posts for August, but still have about 700+ from July;
I’ve decided not to put it off anymore.

I am very sorry for the recent tragedy in your life. Yes, we all have them,
but that doesn’t make it any easier.  Earlier in my life, 22-27 & 10-13
years ago, my primary drugs of abuse were, alcohol + whatever I could find.
I had a lot of alcohol related incidents, accidents, and arrests (3
DWI’s-10+ accidents, + etc…).  To this day, I am so grateful that I never
caused any physical harm to anyone, including myself, during those
absolutely insane, irresponsible, immature days. I’d been through treatment
for alcohol and drug abuse, twice, two years before I was old enough to
legally drink.

As for now, I’m 41, married to a 44 year old RN (small world, huh?), and am
taking enough Oxycontin to kill an average sized family, plus their
neighbors.   I started playing around with some Percoset about 5 years ago,
and am now snorting 20+, 80mg Oxycontin, plus have recently been throwing
Heroin and/or Coke in to the mix.   I’ve had two periods, of about 8 years
each (not to mention a few 2-3 days or weeks), completely clean and sober.
In late March, I went to a Dr. and got on the Suboxone program, and despite
being way under-dosed the first week, followed by having my dose jacked way
up (probably to build my dependence, so I would keep going to the Dr), I
lasted 5 weeks.  I don’t consider that being clean, as the Suboxone is a
powerful opiate, but it was a big step in the right direction.  I can’t tell
you what kind of insanity took over, to make me throw that time away.

By the way, although I’ve gone to college for (2-AAS degree’s almost 3 years
ago), and my life revolves around, computers, this is my first time on an
interactive mailing list, so please forgive & correct me for any breaches of
etiquette. However, at the end of march, as I was starting the Suboxone, I
was involved with an opiate detox forum, which I really should have spent
more time at the past month or two.

This forum is where I first heard of Ibogaine, and after some initial
enthusiasm, decided that it sounded too good to be true and tried to forget
about it.  After seeing a few more references to it, I decided to do some
serious research on the subject.  I have since decided that, one way or
another, I WILL KNOW IBOGA!  While I’m on the subject, a lot of the info I
found was through Sara’s House, and I want to thank Sara for responding to
me when I made my first couple of posts a couple of months ago.  With people
like her, Howard, and you Callie, as well as everyone else here who shares
info, I know I’m not far away from finding relief to the torture of my brain
as it is now.

I do have a lot to say, but this is already getting pretty long.
Thank you, and my best to all,
Charlie

I am rootin’ for you Charlie,
Along with everyone else who is still out there struggling and fighting
to keep above water.
I want every single person to remember one thing-
IBOGAINE WAS NOT FUN.
In hindsight I myself am remembering more of the “fun” bits than the
“icky” bits, but please keep in mind that some people projectile vomit, they
wake up pissed off at the world and their providers and generally feel like
shit for a short while- at least, this is the impression I’ve been getting
from keeping loose tabs on treatments and talking to others who’ve gone
through it-and taking my own experience into account too. I don’t want
anyone to come back later and say, “But Preston, you painted such pretty
pictures, why didn’t it do for me what it did for you?” I’m not saying no
one else will benefit, not in the slightest bit am I saying that- I’m merely
stating a very valid reminder that all drugs are risky, and not every reacts
the same way. I think it’s very important to let those who are about to
submit to the ibogaine that they are in for a real reaming of sorts before
they get to the bliss that is assuredly possible from following the ibo
sprites/spirits/lords/whatever the heck they/it is/are.
I am rooting for you Charlie and do recommend ibogaine to anyone who
feels they ARE READY for change. Without the genuine desire for change, I
suspect people are going to torture themselves and then find that, well,
they aren’t ready to quit getting high yet. It would be a shame if these
folk then blamed ibogaine for their continued use, feeling that it just
“didn’t work right” for them. I could see this leading to more self-accusal
and the like on the part of the user, when it wouldn’t be fair to either the
users who contine to use nor to the ibogaine itself.
Just food for thought is all I’m posting, I promise I’m not trying to be
a wet blanket.
Obviously ibogaine is doing me some good already. I admit it. So I
imagine it will for others too, as we’ve been seeing lately.
I do wish more of those recently treated would subscribe here to the
list, so we could hear from more people who didn’t like it, and wouldn’t do
it again. I’d like to read balancing messages too at this point, to round
out my own impressions and knowlege.
Peace and love Charlie, and all,
Preston

I’ve already decided that I want to do the treatment, but Preston’s report,
as well as reports from many others, just make me feel that much more
positive and confident in that decision.
There are still a lot of questions/concerns that I (probably many others
also) have about the whole idea of Iboga/Ibogaine treatment.  I want to
thank everyone who takes the time to help inform those of us who are in
search of these answers.  I hope to be able to provide many answers for

IBOGAINE . My Journey inside.

7-26-04 So I’m finally here and more ready to be free than I’ve ever been. Well that’s just it, my perception is different. For quite some time now I haven’t enjoyed doing drugs. I go through the process and spend the money and obvious then there’s the ritual,  but then almost instantaneously I get this horrible empty feeling that comes over me, a mix of guilt and sadness and disgust and every time I say to myself “remember this, it makes you even more miserable than you usually do, not to mention 100 bucks or so poorer” but for some strange reason I wake up in the morning and I forget how badly I felt just the night before and by the evening or at best the following week it starts all over again. Methadone plays a huge part in keeping me in that destructive behavior because there is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no walking away or even going to a detox. You are stuck and a junkie, and addict whether you like it or not. And when those things are undeniable, feeling like a failure, and a waste of a good body and mind, are unavoidable and then  going through that pathetic process is so much easier hurting myself seems like a good trade off for the possibility of escaping what I’ve done to myself  . And maybe its not that I’m looking to get high because as I’ve said I do not get much enjoyment out of it but one thing is for sure, when I get in that drug seeking mode I no longer think about anything else. Those feelings of failure and inadequacy are no longer at the forefront of my mind anyway, because I have something else on my mind.
I just know that if I can free myself from the meth the resolve to stay away from drugs will be almost a certainty in my case.  Ibogaine, well what can I say. I’m scared to death by some of the things I’ve read and more hopeful than I can ever remember being by others. But the positive things certainly have outweighed the negative and persuaded me enough to make the decision to travel across the country to detox in a week. Something that would have taken me more than a year had I attempted to do it by tapering. And who am I kidding? Tapering slowly was never an option for me. A life on Methadone is just about the most depressing thing I could imagine. It makes you feel so marginalized, so less than, with that being said I couldn’t stand it another minute. Another year? Let me just say that I don’t think it would have been pretty had I continued one more day than I had. Liquid handcuffs is the best way I’ve ever heard it put. And I’m not going to touch on what a hell that year would be physically as well as mentally.
So I drank my last bottle yesterday morning and I had another for this morning but which I dumped in the toilet. It felt great. The feeling of knowing that I didn’t have to drink a poison one more day. A poison that was destroying my bones and my teeth not to mention my hopes and my dreams all to avoid begin just about as sick as you could imagine. What a terrible way to live.
I just took  the ibogaine  let the healing begin! better lay down
one more thing before I blast off.  Life is so short and in a alot of ways I’ve wasted many good years. But I can take the power back and turn that time wasted around into time that led me to this point in my life. A starting off point where I learn from my mistakes and maybe if I’m really lucky help others to learn from my mistakes.
My body is beginning to vibrate and I feel like my heart is beating fast but not that fast (140 per minute)… its almost time. Then the strangest thing happens… Although terrified I begin to smile in a way I can only remember smiling as a child. Not that sneaky smile or an embarrassed smile that I’ve known for me whole adult life. As I try to stop it only gets bigger.

So Miles Davis starts off with Autumn leaves and the smile gets even bigger!!!!… and then into The Birth of the Cool. I knew it was coming on strong when the sound was no longer coming from my ears and instead directly from the back of my brain. Then bare with me, lots of cartoony things that I was trying to follow but was having a hard time with  geometric patterns and then pictures of the most beautiful churches I had ever seen maybe not from this world but who knows  eyes closed but then as the music kept going I started to feel as if with every note every sound every instrument was playing a part in fixing my head. Its extremely hard to explain in words after 3 hours thinking more than hallucinating with my eyes closed the things I’ve done the friends I’ve lost and lots of random thoughts too that were profound at the time and may have played a big part in my sub conscious but when I look back not much of it made clear sense. However when I would open my eyes the ibogaine effects were obvious. furious flashes of light off of everything. Not the trails I remember from my LSD mescaline days these were much sharper and distinct. Then maybe four hours in I started to get very sweaty and the ibogaine was well on but out of nowhere, which I now know was part of the experience for me,  I started to get sicker and sicker to the point that I somehow stood up and held the wall to get down stairs and from what I hear that is quite early to come down a flight of stairs and not to mention these were marble stairs!!!! I came down to let my caretakers know that I was getting sick. Then when I looked at there faces and hear them talking about me in the background the sickness began to consume me and I was terrified I though OH MY GOD I’M STRANDED IN MEXICO AND THIS SHIT ISN’T WORKING FOR ME!!!!  but something was different AND I FELT IT I kept hearing my own voice  telling me “remember this…REMEMBER THIS FEELING” they gave me more ibogaine  and in 10 to 15 minutes I was off. Came back upstairs and went completely inside my body. I watched this things in my body shoot off like guizers WATCHING MY BODY CLEAN UP INTERNALLY, the ibogaine was working and I had a front row seat!!!! I think at this point I was so overwhelmed with what I had been though that I literally passed out after another couple of hours. I then came down stairs and out of the dark room about 6 hours later and all of a sudden I realized that I was no longer sick and that it worked!!! . I couldn’t believe that was it.I kept asking the caretakers if that was it or were the withdrawals coming back but they didn’t or at least 95 % gone and did not return. But as for the ibogaine it was far from over. The next hours and into the next few days”weeks in retrospect” I have had a clarity of mind that I can’t ever remember having. I am seeing life though new eyes. I felt a forgiveness that I have never known before. A lot of laughing and a lot of crying and this is coming from someone who just doesn’t cry over the next few days  but all feeling and its wonderful. Trails, or the sharp bolts of light, for days and  but they only start after it gets dark and there kinda fun. As for the day time everything feels as if I’m almost experiencing it for the first time. Even getting back to NYC after being gone for two weeks was different. NY was different. . My sense of smell and taste brand new. I would consider this one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life, it saved my life!!!!!!!!
I took small doses of Ibogaine for the next week every day to allow the noribogaine build up and I’m gonna guess that it worked because no craving for anything but pot and its been 22 days since my last dose of meth or I did any other opiate. I’m not going to lie here, this experience is far from a cake walk and 22 days later I’m only getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep and still a lot of diraria but I think that might have been something I picked up in Mexico. But nothing in comparison to the kind of hell coming of narcotics the conventional way.
This is nothing short of a gift from god, a god of some kind I’m not sure what to think anymore, but certainly feel a oneness with the universe that I can’t ever remember knowing, a peace, the noise in my head finally silenced. This needs to be more readily available to people in need and for me I feel anyone lucky enough to experience this has to show it the respect it deserves and for me that means staying far away from the things that brought me that terrible place I was before the ibogaine maybe even a debt of some sort to pay back which is purely a personal thing but think of the lives that could change with a little more education.

ON A SIDE NOTE… THIS WAS ME at 12 HOURS INTO IBOGAINE, Did the ibogaine at 3:00 mst go i nto vision leater. then as the ibogai 6went intp withdrwal so bad it was like hell on heart but I took a other dose and 30 minutes later it sedt me right off IO.then atg after sleeping for an hour but it felt like ftill daytime all of a suddend I  and felt great omplwerwtwe find still a lot of I wanteds to walk around and came down sraitr I was feeling woke up and lay around a ctotoal clensing. I feel like I’m 15 year old”  HOW FUNNY IS THAT. I REALLY THOUGHT I I ENOUGH GOING ON THERE TO TYPE A SENTANCE… SILLY ME.

There is no such thing as a magic pill and it all depends on me now but ibogiane showed me I have choices and that life is just begining and that addiction IS reversable.

Hi Everyone,
I have just recently joined the list and I would like to introduce myself.
I go under the name of Lee Albert and have just published my first ibogaine/eboga related book after 6 years working with eboga to deal with my own troubled past. I came to eboga/ibogaine as I was a man in deep pain and deep personal trouble. I have healed deeply because of it and that is why 3 years ago I decided to write about my experiences and the things I was beginning to learn with eboga as I realised its power and its importance for psycho/spiritual healing. At the time I went through quite an incredible experience detailed in the second book. However, the first book recounts the most incredible experience of my life.
In all there will be 3 books detailing my journey with eboga/ibogaine. The first is called Amazing Grace and can be reviewed via my web site www.myeboga.com where a number of the introductory chapters, table of contents and book cover are included. I have just recently revamped the site as I was occupied with the book publication. A Spanish version of the book will be released in the new year.
While my interest is not so much the mechanics of anti-addiction treatment, my work compliments the process surrounding addiction and its resolution. Once the physical side of addiction is under control the underlying psycho/spiritual work is the same as what I am focussed on. My own area of interest is abuse and trauma as these are the things I have been working on within myself. I did not come to eboga/ibogaine as an addict in the normal sense of the word. I certainly was an addict in many other ways.
I have joined the list to tune into any information which comes through the list that might be of interest to me (contributing where appropriate) and also to keep the list updated regarding my own work. I am sorry to say I don’t read many of the emails on the list except those whose headings catch my attention. If you want to connect with me there you will need to put my name Lee in the email heading.
In my own experience the long term successful outcome with eboga/ibogaine requires a lot of ongoing work but once we connect with the spiritual forces at work we are guided in that journey. I see eboga/ibogaine as a spiritually guided process of self-transformation. The rewards are great for those who persevere.
Myself I have undergone about 12 full sessions with ibogaine (a number of those were with the Indra extract). For many of those sessions a smaller dose amount would have sufficed. I did not realise that at the time as I was preoccupied with my pain and did not understand the process I was going through properly. I now undergo what I call “mini-sessions” using “threshold” amounts of ibogaine (i.e., amounts sufficient to bring about waking visions which can be assisted via inner focusing possibly similar to methods used in traditional meditation) leading to resolution of ongoing problems and spiritual guidance appropriate to that moment. For someone who has been heavily abused as I was, the process does require a number of years and benefits greatly by checking in with the Eboga spirit from time to time to keep on the right path as well as deal with the rising pain resulting from gradually revealed trauma. It also requires time regardless of the level of abuse to retrain the ego to a new holistic way of being to allow the soul or inner child to fully emerge. Again mini-sessions assist in this area.
I refer to eboga rather than ibogaine as I want to put my own take on the subject (which is very much based on its psycho-spirituality) and widen the field away from its present public focus as an anti-addiction therapy. I see Eboga spirituality as being at the root of eboga. I want to widen understanding of Eboga by highlighting its spirituality first and foremostly, putting its anti-addiction properties into that perspective. In this way I feel it will be more accessible to many who do not see themselves in that grouping and also I believe it will raise the stakes in terms of its true nature and potential.
I hope you all get a chance to read my book. It is a fusion of ideas built around the myth of the Holy Grail. Many of the Eboga ideas will be delved into more deeply in the subsequent books. For those of you in the media it is possible to obtain a free copy by sending an email with your details to the publisher. Details to be found on www.myeboga.com/freecopy.html. Also, if you know of anyone in the media who might be interested, can you guide them to this page or pass on this email? All publicity is gratefully appreciated. The book won’t be available via Amazon until next month but it is now available via the publisher (at 30% less) on www.authorhouse.com or direct to its location on the publishers bookshop via my own web site www.myboga.com/amazinggrace.html.
I plan on bringing out a second edition in the not too distant future to make any amendments which are deemed desirable or necessary. To this end any comments you may have after reading the book will be very much appreciated.
Wishing you all a safe journey.

Are there support options for post-ibogaine treatment in New York?
My son is considering doing ibogaine and wants to relocate there or London.
Is anyone listening from UK? He qualifies for British citizenship. What is support there? Is treatment cheaper there?
What is the difference between post-therapy with a practitioner who knows about ibogaine or anybody else?
I’m looking into support locally in Mass. where he qualifies for inexpensive clinical type treatment, but relocation is best.

Hi Callie.   Have been reading all the posts but had a hard time trying to reply.  So good to hear all the posts from Preston.  Was wondering if you could also answer a question for me.  We use a chemical here in NZ.  Its an acid and we just call it AA.  Does that mean anything to you and if so can you tell me the correct term for it.  The 2nd A is for Acid but can not think of the first word.  Its a chemical used to turn or manufacture drugs if that makes any sense.  No probs if you want to give that one a miss or maybe someone else can answer it.  Bit off the topic but putting it out there anyway.   PS Preston,  I read your message to my partner regarding Limp Dick & he started giggling.  Thank God its not just me was more or less the reply.  Anyway, am glad to her all is good with you.  Take care & look after yourself.    Allison

Charlie, You may have been on list for a long time but I have just seen you tonight!
I want to introduce myself…
I am a 44 year old Practical Nurse on Methadone for 5 years.
I found this list by accident one night (divine intervention!) and it has given me much hope. I have not had hope in many years!
I am saving to hopefully be treated this winter sometime and somewhere.
I had also been decreasing my dose but got to feeling edgy and asked for detox to be stopped for a bit last week.
I have 2 grown sons, 22 and 25. I will be grandmother in February or early March.
My significant other is named Charlie too! He had auto accident in 1999 which left him a quadriplegic. I care for him now and nurse outside my home part time. His wreck was alcohol related.
It is only one of many tragedies in my life that is result of alcohol and drugs….but you probably know that story! We can all tell it….just change names and tragedies!

Hi Callie,
Thank you for the warm welcome; I’ve indeed been on the list for a few months, and only made a few, brief, posts, a while back.  I wanted to introduce myself earlier, but wanted to catch up on reading the posts that had piled up during the previous week (that was in mid June). I just finished reading the posts for August, but still have about 700+ from July; I’ve decided not to put it off anymore.

I am very sorry for the recent tragedy in your life. Yes, we all have them, but that doesn’t make it any easier.  Earlier in my life, 22-27 & 10-13 years ago, my primary drugs of abuse were, alcohol + whatever I could find.  I had a lot of alcohol related incidents, accidents, and arrests (3 DWI’s-10+ accidents, + etc…).  To this day, I am so grateful that I never caused any physical harm to anyone, including myself, during those absolutely insane, irresponsible, immature days. I’d been through treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, twice, two years before I was old enough to legally drink.

As for now, I’m 41, married to a 44 year old RN (small world, huh?), and am taking enough Oxycontin to kill an average sized family, plus their neighbors.   I started playing around with some Percoset about 5 years ago, and am now snorting 20+, 80mg Oxycontin, plus have recently been throwing Heroin and/or Coke in to the mix.   I’ve had two periods, of about 8 years each (not to mention a few 2-3 days or weeks), completely clean and sober. In late March, I went to a Dr. and got on the Suboxone program, and despite being way under-dosed the first week, followed by having my dose jacked way up (probably to build my dependence, so I would keep going to the Dr), I lasted 5 weeks.  I don’t consider that being clean, as the Suboxone is a powerful opiate, but it was a big step in the right direction.  I can’t tell you what kind of insanity took over, to make me throw that time away.

By the way, although I’ve gone to college for (2-AAS degree’s almost 3 years ago), and my life revolves around, computers, this is my first time on an interactive mailing list, so please forgive & correct me for any breaches of etiquette. However, at the end of march, as I was starting the Suboxone, I was involved with an opiate detox forum, which I really should have spent more time at the past month or two.

This forum is where I first heard of Ibogaine, and after some initial enthusiasm, decided that it sounded too good to be true and tried to forget about it.  After seeing a few more references to it, I decided to do some serious research on the subject.  I have since decided that, one way or another, I WILL KNOW IBOGA!  While I’m on the subject, a lot of the info I found was through Sara’s House, and I want to thank Sara for responding to me when I made my first couple of posts a couple of months ago.  With people like her, Howard, and you Callie, as well as everyone else here who shares info, I know I’m not far away from finding relief to the torture of my brain as it is now.

I do have a lot to say, but this is already getting pretty long.
Thank you, and my best to all,
Charlie

I’ve already decided that I want to do the treatment, but Preston’s report, as well as reports from many others, just make me feel that much more positive and confident in that decision.
There are still a lot of questions/concerns that I (probably many others also) have about the whole idea of Iboga/Ibogaine treatment.  I want to thank everyone who takes the time to help inform those of us who are in search of these answers.  I hope to be able to provide many answers for people, as an “Ibonaut”, very soon.

[Amazing, They are finally getting around to it. These were among the
first therapeutic uses of psychedelics such as LSD in the late 50s and
early 60s, not to speak of the ancient traditional uses of mushrooms,
toad extracts and other natural substances over the centuries.]

Medicine hope for psychedelic drugs
By Arran Frood

LSD was tested on cancer patients in the 1960s
Could illegal hallucinogenic drugs like LSD and psilocybin ever become
credible prescription medicines?

It might sound far-fetched, but just a decade ago it seemed unlikely
that the prohibited and mildly hallucinogenic drug cannabis would become
a mainstream pain-killing medicine.

But it is happening: Cannabis pain-killing pills and sprays are being
developed to help people with multiple sclerosis, cancer and Aids.

Now some scientists and psychotherapists think more powerful
psychoactive drugs like psilocybin, found in ‘magic mushrooms’, could
have a future as medicinal agents for a number of conditions.

In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved, but not
funded, a pilot study aiming to see if the euphoria and insight of a
mild psychedelic ‘trip’ can ease the physical and emotional pain
experienced by thousands of terminal cancer patients each year.

A working acquaintance of mine lost her husband yesterday in a tragic death that is going to give you chill bumps.
She and husband have both individually and as a couple battled addiction.
They have a tree surgery/trimmingbusiness. She does nursing and also would go out on jobs with him. She was out on a job with him yesterday and he told her he could not go on with the dope problem he had. He said, “I would rather be dead than be addicted to this shit anymore.” He went up in the bucket, was not harnessed in and fell out. He landed on truck and died before ambulance got there.
She said she hopes that God knew his heart and knew that death would be better than hell he was going through. He had planned to go back in treatment the 23rd of this month. It was one of many previous attempts.
Addiction is evil and hell on earth!!!
I am so angry and sad tonight! They have tried and tried to get clean! Some people NEVER accomplish total abstinence!
Please pray for her and her family. She has demons she has to fight also.
Sad and very MAD tonight,

Hi all.
This might be a bit off-color for some, so if you’ve got sensitive
eyes
and brains, read no more.
For the rest of you, who have been following my trials and travails,
and
recent resetting, here I go.
I have more energy that I’ve had in YEARS since taking ibogaine. I
mean
it, I’m getting up early in the morning, just like usual, but then I make
a
hearty breakfast, a real, hot breakfast, even adding yet MORE fruit to the
mix this morning, blueberry on my morning’s newly-ritualistic french
toast.
But even more, I’m going out and moving around outside, all day,
meeting
publishers, being active, making plans and plots and actually carrying
through on them in major ways. (The release party for Under the Influence
will be held Oct. 21, 2004, at Uncle Ming’s in the LES, Manhattan, so
please
mark your calandars- this is going to be one hell of a party, with
hopefull
Joker 5 Speed playing and possibly another band or two as well- it’s gonna
be a REAL party, so make plans all. This has to be the biggest event I’ve
ever tried to put together, and it seems, at this point anyway, to be
progressing smoothly.)
V and I went to see the “Marijuanalogues” last night (a perk of
writing
for HT- get in free to cool off-Broadway shows about pot), then I went and
dj’d for about 5 hours straight, then we came home, and, well, made love.
I mean, you know, we made lots and lots of really horny amazing
sex-love, for hours it felt like (cause it was for hours, LOL), in a way
as
I’ve not been able to accomplish in, oh, ages and ages, due to all my
nerve
endings being so numbed out by opiates that, well, suffice it to say I’ve
not been the most sexually active individual for some time- and I have
always felt it one of the most special activities that two people (or
heck,
more for those freaky types out there) can do together. Seeing as I am
totally head over heels in love, have always loved sex of all kinds, and
am
extremely faithful to a fault (well, not really to a fault, that’s known
as
an “expression”), it’s been most frustrating to be such a “limp-dick” for
so
long, to be blunt about it.
But now I find, post-ibogaine, that things have changed. Wow! have
they
changed. I mean, up till recently things were ok, but not really all that
magical. Hate to admit it, but I will- I’ve been a fairly accomplished
looser lately in this regard.
Now though, magical almost begins to cover things, but only barely as
things have gotten lots and lots bigger and, oh, harder and such. I
realize
I’m being awfully open about my personal life and relationship here, but
hey, I’m so blown away (to coin a phrase) by the difference, as is my
ultra-only-significant other, that I felt I had to say something about it,
as it is yet another definite plus to having had the opportunity to try
ibogaine.
So, throw away the Vigra and Cialis or whatever it is you’re using and
try ibogaine.
;-))
No, but seriously, I’ve not ever actually tried either Viagra or
Cialis,
but I don’t imagine I will either now. Who needs that crap, I’ve got
cleanliness to help me. And love and lust too, amazingly, after 8 years-
real, hot, steamy lust and such.

Hi,

I am a methadone addict in Toronto looking to detox,
and I would like to order Ibo online and NOT GET
RIPPED OFF!!

I would really appreciate any info/input, especially
from Canadians.  Is Indra Ibo of good quality?  Any
other companies worth checking out?

Thank you,
Maya

Thanks for this last report Preston, I have been following your progress,
and others, but you hit “the-nail-on-the-head” with the limp dick remark.
After 5+ years of MMT, my life is “stable” and Viagra, Cialis and
Testosterone do not help. My beautiful wife of 25 years is beginning to
think I am done… I am not going to “consider” this (Ibogaine) any longer,
I will begin making my plans today, thankyou for honestly reporting of your
experiance strength and hope!!!!!

Hi all.
This might be a bit off-color for some, so if you’ve got sensitive eyes
and brains, read no more.
For the rest of you, who have been following my trials and travails, and
recent resetting, here I go.
I have more energy that I’ve had in YEARS since taking ibogaine. I mean
it, I’m getting up early in the morning, just like usual, but then I make a
hearty breakfast, a real, hot breakfast, even adding yet MORE fruit to the
mix this morning, blueberry on my morning’s newly-ritualistic french toast.
But even more, I’m going out and moving around outside, all day, meeting
publishers, being active, making plans and plots and actually carrying
through on them in major ways. (The release party for Under the Influence
will be held Oct. 21, 2004, at Uncle Ming’s in the LES, Manhattan, so please
mark your calandars- this is going to be one hell of a party, with hopefull
Joker 5 Speed playing and possibly another band or two as well- it’s gonna
be a REAL party, so make plans all. This has to be the biggest event I’ve
ever tried to put together, and it seems, at this point anyway, to be
progressing smoothly.)
V and I went to see the “Marijuanalogues” last night (a perk of writing
for HT- get in free to cool off-Broadway shows about pot), then I went and
dj’d for about 5 hours straight, then we came home, and, well, made love.
I mean, you know, we made lots and lots of really horny amazing
sex-love, for hours it felt like (cause it was for hours, LOL), in a way as
I’ve not been able to accomplish in, oh, ages and ages, due to all my nerve
endings being so numbed out by opiates that, well, suffice it to say I’ve
not been the most sexually active individual for some time- and I have
always felt it one of the most special activities that two people (or heck,
more for those freaky types out there) can do together. Seeing as I am
totally head over heels in love, have always loved sex of all kinds, and am
extremely faithful to a fault (well, not really to a fault, that’s known as
an “expression”), it’s been most frustrating to be such a “limp-dick” for so
long, to be blunt about it.
But now I find, post-ibogaine, that things have changed. Wow! have they
changed. I mean, up till recently things were ok, but not really all that
magical. Hate to admit it, but I will- I’ve been a fairly accomplished
looser lately in this regard.
Now though, magical almost begins to cover things, but only barely as
things have gotten lots and lots bigger and, oh, harder and such. I realize
I’m being awfully open about my personal life and relationship here, but
hey, I’m so blown away (to coin a phrase) by the difference, as is my
ultra-only-significant other, that I felt I had to say something about it,
as it is yet another definite plus to having had the opportunity to try
ibogaine.
So, throw away the Vigra and Cialis or whatever it is you’re using and
try ibogaine.
;-))
No, but seriously, I’ve not ever actually tried either Viagra or Cialis,
but I don’t imagine I will either now. Who needs that crap, I’ve got
cleanliness to help me. And love and lust too, amazingly, after 8 years-
real, hot, steamy lust and such.
Nuther big, happy, satisfied grin due here- :-)))
Peace and love to all, and I hope I’ve not exposed too much here on this
open list, but hell, I’m so, ummm, happy? Drained? Incredibly satisfied?
Like a new man?
“All of the above” should just about do it.
Peace and love again,
Preston

I had the vision of a bear come to me several times in Sweat Lodge ceremonies (no peyote, just intense heat).

We’re gonna HAVE to meet up soon. Perhaps next week? (I thought you had

Mark LOL) Maybe you want to come out Tuesday night to my dj gig? It’s a cool
place to chill and I hate to admit it but it’s quite a slow party still- I’m
fliering the heck outta the neighborhood, handing them out to all and sundry
but so few people are out and about on a Tuesday (durned employed- what are
they THINKING?) so there’s plenty of room to chill out or dance or chuck
some darts or chat with V, and listen to great post-ibogaine music- I
promise.

Peace and love,
Preston

Hi Howard,

I think Disney is the better choice.  Perhaps they could be talked into providing sets, special effects, that kind of thing.  In the name of scientific research of course.
Which further research and funding could only make better next time.

Yes Sherrie, it truely is amazing.
V is so blown away by my healthy kick she can’t get enough of it. She
keeps telling her friends how I’m suddenly addicted to Fruit and such. We
have this little black board in the kitchen wall on which has been written
for at least a year “Healthy Preston,” sorta as a reminder/incantation from
V in hopes it’ll take root and grow in me- but to no avail until quite
recently. She almost erased it not so long ago, but decided to leave it a
while longer, just in case. Now though it’s almost all I can think about-
how healthy I want to be.
And for me, this is REALLY WEIRD.
I’ve not been a health kick person since my car accident at 16, always
feeling and living very nihilistically, self-destructively, but now, hey,
I’m loving the feeling of feeling things- even my pain feels much different.
Lessened somehow, or at the least easier to cope with.
I’m actually planning on one more session with ibogaine in the near
future, to try and cement some stuff and further examine other stuff. I was
so shattered feeling (as I think I’ve noted before) by the first 24 hours of
my recent experience that I feel I missed some stuff I shoulda been paying
attention to, or that I at least should have followed futher while under the
influence but didn’t, being so panicked and freaked, and basically scared
outta my wits.
So while I’m showing many definite signs of improvement already and
still, I’m feeling that another journey can do nothing but further cement
this state of grace- or at least, help me to do so- that as scary as it was
I’m going through it again as soon as possible.
My cigarette habit is REALLY bothering me, and I STILL haven’t made the
slightest cut in usage- which is bugging the hell outta me as that is one of
the LEAST healthy things I could be doing to myself. Addiction is a bug out,
no doubt about it at all, no matter what the substance or its legal status.
Peace and love to all,
Preston

hi Julian,

As far as the high goes, high is not really the right word for it.  It was definitely in no way euphoric for me, I’ll tell you that.  And I really took the suggestions not to move around really deep into subconscious because I hate throwing up…until I thought it was safe 14 hours and was wrong.  There was an out of body quality to the experience as well.  I could see myself sitting there so to speak.

Day 22, I went out last night to east Hampton at the end of Long Island and went to the transcendental meditation thing but to be quite honest my stomach was bothering the hell out of me so it was hard to get into it. But after wards, I smoked a (little) pot and walked on the beach for an hour or so and swam a little and when I came off the beach I felt great. My friends from out this way came by and we went to a bar that some kid I grew up with just opened over the weekend, everyone drank, but I just simply didn’t feel the need, I was enjoying the clarity too much. And anyone who knows me knows that when everyone is on there first beer I’m usually on my 3rd or 4th and I realized last night that comes from this place in me that says ” hurry up and drink so that you can be as comfortable in your own skin as everyone else appears to be” but this was so different because for the first time that I can remember in years I am comfortable in my own skin and I don’t want to fuck with it. Then the best part, I start running into all of these people who know how fucked up I was and every single one of them could not believe the difference. It felt so good because its been a long time since people told me how great I was looking.  I wasn’t ready to go into the whole “I took Ibogaine and it saved my life speech” although a few know. I decided to go with the “I went to Mexico and it changed my life” instead. But there’s this confidence I have now that I haven’t had in a long time and I know that is from not having that terminally different thing where I felt I had to shoot dope to feel like I appeared normal. What a lie.
Headin back to the city this morning. I’m so glad I took this time and didn’t try and jump back into life so quickly. Its all still there waiting for me, even my way overdue rent, but I feel I’ve given myself some of the time I needed to heal. I’ve never been this broke in my life but its not important. I have to give up my apt. at the end of this month and even thats not important. I just feel my options are limitless now instead of that horrible feeling I felt all the time like I was backed into a corner and things were never going to change. .
Enough out of me. Good luck to all this weekend you’ll be in my thoughts. -m.

I’m still using Sean, but in extremely small quantities. I’ve not really had
too many cravings per se.

Preston

can’t handle it but some of us I know would not just handle it but thrive on
it while alone ( no sitter). What;s the story with this also Howard?

If you mean in the same room, there is a tendency for the vibes from one
subject to influence the other.  In the 60s we had one such experiment following
the African paradigm of calling out the visions and peoples visions were
interfering with each other.  I have tripped with my significant other in the old
days with no problems whatsoever but, we were both experienced and feel real
comfy together.  Also lots of people do ibo alone,  Probably more once they are
experienced with iboga/aine and others who are just experienced with
psychoactives.  Guides are always helpful if they know anything about what they are
doing.  And lots of people who are removing the mantles of their chemical
dependence like guidance and it is good to have someone to provide you with comfort
and secure answers to questions like, “Will this ever end?”

Well Julian if you rent a wing in a hospital and not just a room we can all
come..Sara, Howard, Eric, Patrick, even Deborah and Tom and Jeff and the
minions of unknown iboga/ibogaine providers and why not ngangas from Africa a well.
We will have art directors deck out the hospital as a gabonese forest and
take it from there…even competing chapels so if you don’t like one scene you
can go to another.  You would be able to choose from ibogaine running 99% – 80%
with various alkaloid contents or just total alkaloids mixtures or roots to
chew.  Iboga your way!!!!

Will this be happening at the HRC conference in New Orleans?  Will this be
happening at the American Association for the treatment of Opioid Dependence con
ference in Disneyland in October?  Will the iboga booth be offering free
treatments among all those methadone providers…after all it is florida.  We bring
in Sara so when everyone is freaking out because some patients are talking to
entities that no one else can see in the palm trees sara says, oh nothing to
worry about I will just make them some mushroom tea and cannabis suppositories
or marjoon.  There, now they are all well.

If any conference organizers or doctors object roving groups of gang bangers
with duckies just wack them with the duckies and 45 minutes later they are
just part of the decoration among the floor tiles or bedding.  Yes, things are
getting stranger.  It is like morroco in the 60s except it is ibogaine in 2000+

Howard, it would be nice having you there under any circumstance but I am referring to a more easygoing (though one might say risky, irresponsible and alot like psychic basejumping) type of session and meeting. Just a couple of people exploring alone and with one another. Not really me on Ibo and you sitting or vice versa. I don’t want to be on the space craft while you are at mission control. I want both of us on the ‘ship’.
Nice dreaming I guess,
Julian

P.S. I never hear of sessions where several people are experiencing Iboga/Ibogaine together. Why is this? Why does it always seem like only one person should do it at a time? Plus very few people ever talk about doing it alone except you I believe Howard. Why is this the case? I know somew people can’t handle it but some of us I know would not just handle it but thrive on it while alone ( no sitter). What;s the story with this also Howard?

Hi Julian,

well you can get me online or on phone but, I generally don’t do house calls
any longer.  On the other hand if you want to rent a hospital and medical
staff I will get an adjoining room.

Hey Preston,

May the dragons continue to guide you:)  Glad the DJ is going strong. Look forward to checking you out some nite soon!  Seems like your doing aright.  Was wondering how the urge/craving whatever the hell you want to call it situation has been.  You were dosed about 10 days ago?

On a lighter note, I have been looking into the bear symbol in shamanism.
After all a bear welcomed me to my trip, so I figured I’d check out the
cross cultural symbolism of bears.  I have gained a whole new respect for
that animal!<

Huh. Me it’s dragons. Weird. I mean, I’ve always dug them and wear two
already imbedded in my skin, (and have another on the wall that I plan on
having Santa give me for my b-day, or something like that) but now I really
have this weird thing going on where they’re turning up at the oddest
moments, including on the flier for my Tuesday night dj gig, but I didn’t
make the flier, the bar owner did. Yet I’d been thinking about them much
more since the treatment, and was fairly surprised to say the least to see
it on the flier, a big Chinese thing, the day after seeing them all over the
walls at this b-day dinner for a friend of V’s. They’re following me now.
As I said, weird.
Peace and love,
Preston

Hey Julian,

Congrats on your plan for your dose!  Concerning the closed eye
hallucination thing, I was unfamiliar with that concept as well.  In my
youth I was a total psychedelic head (shrooms, LSD, synthetic mesc) and I
always remembered both open and closed eye visions.  But it did turn out the
closed eye thing was true for me as well.

When I opened my eyes, I felt the sensation of being high, but no visions.
I did see some weird melting metal looking stuff, which I think Preston
mentioned as well, but no true real “picture” stuff.  I’m not sure if what I
saw was the result of light sensitivity or not.  While my room was dark, in
retrospect it could have been darker.

It was really only with closed eyes that I the visionary happenings.  I
didn’t mention that in the second stage I did experience the rapid thought
apparently is common with ibo, but it remained really thematic to the pain
and disgust of my actions while using last winter in the city.

On a lighter note, I have been looking into the bear symbol in shamanism.

Thanks for the reminder of the power of” No, I don’t do shoot, smoke, sniff whatever.”I was thinking a lot about this today since reading Randy’s post this morning. I have never bought the 12 step idea of powerlessness, although it provided a handy excuse for all sorts of screwed up behavior.:)  Being free of the craving is freedom, and part of that freedom for me is freedom from both 12 step and it’s alternatives.  This comes after years of either using, or sitting in small or large circles about using.  I want to live life again.  It’s been too damn long!

It was really only with closed eyes that I the visionary happenings.  I didn’t mention that in the second stage I did experience the rapid thought apparently is common with ibo, but it remained really thematic to the pain and disgust of my actions while using last winter in the city.

On a lighter note, I have been looking into the bear symbol in shamanism.  After all a bear welcomed me to my trip, so I figured I’d check out the cross cultural symbolism of bears.  I have gained a whole new respect for that animal!

Pax,
Sean

Do you think it is the way Sara does her ibotreatments…the special setting, the famial group inclusion (that is what it seems to be like at ‘Sara’s house”) her unique experiences, her being her, that seem to bringon these “pretty far out patient responses.”
And Sara I am still hoping to come to see you soon….october  perhaps…our spiritual teacher Mata Amritanandamayi (the “hugging saint” as she is sometimes refereed to in the media) will be in Amsterdam then and a week with her before my ibo experience well I cant think of a better way for me personally to approach this thing…but dollars will be needed to manifest this magic..

5 miles?!!! That is fuckin’ great! Were you a novice runner before or is this pure Ibogaine?
Sounds like you are doing great.
I agree that weight loss is probably Methadone bloat. I know I snack on junk all the time and I also feel like I carry a lot of water bloat around.
As for relapse prevention….think you would be really smart to get some plan even down on paper. Maybe numbers of supportive folks to phone.
I am usually more in danger of relapse when I am feeling good as opposed to bad.
Relapse can sneak up on you too!
So happy to hear you sounding so happy and healthy! I was a little concerned there for a day or two!
Love ya!

Hey list,

What a journey!  I got a good night’s sleep last night….it was really nice after being up for 30 hours.  Woke up refreshed and feeling damn good.  Made my bed for the first time in years in fact.  I used to just leave it until it was time to change the sheets.

I felt an inner peace, a calm which I have not felt in so long that I forgot what it was like.  There is no desire to get high, and I think that it really such a part of it. The attachment is gone..the gnawing incessant attachment to coke and dope.

I took seriously the advice of my providers and took a week off form work to process, gain my strength and ease back into the world.  I am still amazed how my visual perception seems so different.  It’s like the world has come alive for me.  My mind is quieter.  There is peace.

This evening I had a cup a tea with a friend and talked about my experience. She got clean in NA, but is open-minded to whatever works for helping addicts.  She was fascinated.  We agreed that I would really need to follow through with my aftercare plan of therapy and a support group.

Tonight I have been reading a book on healing based on tribal rites. Wonder why?
I so much more open to healing now.

All in all, I am what I used to refer to as mellow.  It has been a long time since I have been here. It feels like I have come home.

At some point, sometime, you will have an urge to use or be in a place

junk is practically being handed to you.  What will you do when that day
comes?

Haven’t yet decided on that particular bit Randy, but thanks kindly for the
SmartRecovery links- they are actually a little bit interesting to me-
except I absolutely hate group therapy/talk type situations, unless it’s in
email format it appears.
I’m still at the “keep yourself very busy stage” but plan on further
exploring after this weekend other avenues to keep myself safe from relapse
any further than what I should be taking for my pain- which is really
beginning to make me feel confused about opiates and myself and the whole
pain thing- but I can’t yet put it into words. When I can, I’ll do so.

GREAT NEWS! You’ve been in my thoughts since Sunday night. Be in touch
anytime. I’
I’ll have my laptop back tonight or tomorrow and will get into my nitty
gritty.
Me, I’m 21 days clean today and it feels great. A little jealous of
your
good night sleep because since my 3rd day in I haven’t had one of those
sleeps and making my bed in the morning is just about the last thing on
my
mind. especially since everything is on the floor as I wake up every two
hours and toss and turn. BUT, its not that terrified nasty toss and turn
a
lot of us know very well. There is still that peace no matter what. I
think
I described it to Preston as feeling as if something is with me now. I
can’t stop being grateful no matter how annoying or even uncomfortable
its
been at times. There is still this feeling of knowing I’m out the other
side.
So although my sleeping pattern has been less that ideal, my days have
been
amazing. Spent my first week running around California and had a blast
and
since as I said there wasn’t much sleep goin on I was able to use that to
my advantage.. On a side note, having sex after ibogaine is incredible.
talk about “re-set” but I’ll go into that later. I dreaded coming back to
NYC but because of a case of gastritis I cut my trip short by one day.As
the plane landed I thought ” its all waiting for you out there” but  when
I
got back it was like I was seeing home though different eyes. Almost as
if
I was making peace with this city I’ve had so much hurt and loss in. God,
its amazing the insight and clarity I still feel.
heading out to go running now. How funny is that? but I now have this
determination or this drive to keep on keepin on, and I know that one of
those things is to get those endorphins going naturally. I guess I’m just
ready to be healthy or maybe capable is the better word to use cuz I’ve
been willing for some time now but simply couldn’t find a way out.
-m.

Hey list,

What a journey!  I got a good night’s sleep last night….it was really

As I have said Sara, I think you are the bravest iboga shaman this side of
Africa.  The responses you describe would send most medical doctors and lay
providers running as far from iboga/ibogaine as they might get.  Of course I may
be wrong about everyone.  I think we really have to look at significant
diversity in effects for the description you provide and I am left in ignorance of w
hether we are looking at an iboga effect of the unveiling of an underlying
pathology if we can make that distinction.

I guess we have to recognize that we are going to have some pretty far out
patient responses and just deal with them for the benefit of all of the “normal”
ibogaine patients who present no drama (good luck) and little diversity as to

Hey Sean! I wonder something. Everyone seems to say the same thing about
the visual aspect of Ibogaine. It is when you close your eyes that you
have
clear visions and/or hallucinations. So what happens when you open your
eyes?
Do they diminish, go away or just change? I guess I don’t understand why
one
would have a visual experience only when the eye is shut. It’s
so…bizarre!
Do you see things with your eyes open? I appreciate your input and also
thank
you for passing me the info as to where I could experience Ibogaine. I do
mine
next week and I am very psyched.  Well keep doing it and learning it man.

It is like dreaming.  You open your eyes and in most cases end of dream.
With ibogaine it is a waking dream.  Open eyes your out of the dream.
Close your
eyes you are back in.  That is a simplification and there are variations
but,
there you are.

Did your ibogaine providers ask you for a liver panel?  I thought it was

Hi Preston,

I am not sure about NYC but if you go to the county health and tell them
that you may have aids and maybe another STD they will give you one free.
Maybe tell them that you may of shared with a guy who you heard has hep C or
HIV and is there any way to make sure since your not working.  Chances are
they will jump for joy to have you come in – HONEST.
Now, if they ask when tell them a coulple of months ago, maybe 3, not really
sure.  I don’t know if they will do a CBC, Sed rate, Diff count, etc. but I
am pretty sure they will do some kind of test.  I am not trying to be funny
CBC is complete cell count (white and red and others like segmented, and eo
sin a fils, etc.  Sed rate is the time it takes for your blood to seperate –
dark on bottom and clear on top.  Diff count is how many like a  man should
have 5.5 million red blood cells per ml and about 5000 white blood cells and
technical stuff that I forgot.  Callie could maybe give you more info.
Sometimes you have to throw in the STD thing because the STD people may pay
for it.  So tell them everything, once they put a needle in your arm they
might as well check for everything.  Damn, I hate them 18g.needles.  Make it
easy on yourself call first.  Or maybe the Salvation Army will know.

There is really too much mail for me to read with my dial up.  If ever you
want to contact me you can write direct.  If you have Hep C you should tell
them and they may do the liver enzymes tests.  Or if your a drinker they
might.  They don’t believe drunks any more than junkies, they believe their
all liars and feel they downplay their use.

Best to ya.

HI all,
Quick question as I skim my mail- anyone have any suggestions on an easy
way to get bloodwork done, cheaply, in NYC? My own doctor apparently isn’t
doing bloodwork in her office anymore, they’re sending people out to other
clinics or something.
So I’d wind up spending money I really would prefer not to spend-
especially since I don’t actually have it.
Any suggestions, again? Someone said there should be some kind of Hep C
or AIDS/HIV clinic where they do really cheap bloodtests and stuff, but I
don’t know of any off the top of my head, so if anyone with knowlege of the
Apple knows where in it to get this done, so I have the liver tests results
in my hand before this weekend, I’d appreciate it.

And to be quite frank about it, my own closed-eyes visions became visuals
when I opened my eyes, but when I closed them I’d be back into the holodeck
once more- in my own experience.
In other words, there’d be liquid metal everywhere when my eyes were
open, very similar to the texture I see in DH’s paintings/artpieces- I was
tripping very heavily and could see the air doing all sorts of weird things-
when I could actually see. Apparently I worried V a little when I began
telling her I couldn’t see her and even went so far as to ask “who is that”
out loud when she was coming through the living room curatins at one point.
So I was “seeing” things with my eyes open AND closed- just in very
different ways.
Not that I’m Sean, I’m only adding input.
😉

Preston

Hello to all the recent iboganauts,

Question:  What are you guys doing to prepare for relapse prevention?

At some point, sometime, you will have an urge to use or be in a place
where
junk is practically being handed to you.  What will you do when that day
comes?

~Randy Hencken

You can start with a mantra, a password, a vision.
then you can write a letter to yourself three pages long
about why would I use and why not.
then you just go trance dance or salsa,
I know that it is hard but people can say NO to anything.

Hey Maya. You don’t know me and I don’t know you and I don’t really understand exactly what you are referring to in your message but at the risk of sounding like a jerk, if you are having a hard time with ‘honesty’ and ‘sincerity’, this forum is really a good place to start. Of course there are two levels of (communicating) truth: to oneself and to others. If you wish to open communications honestly with people, this forum really is a decent place to start because virtually no one judges and/or criticizes here and those that might don’t express it. It is kept within their self! I’m telling you I have been in various groups where you discover you are not alone or unique but nothing like this site. Whatever I have done or thought of doing has been achieved by somebody here and if not, someone certainly has thought about it. It seems easy to be honest here so if it is an issue with you, try it here.
SHIT! I hope I don’t sound too much like an asshole but if I do, it’s not the first time……..
Regards Maya,
Julian

Patrick,

Submissions were made to the HRC.  Abstract subjects may be ibogaine but, no
one was informed to submit to a panel.  I know peter submitted an abstract
because I was copied on it and Donald Grove at HRC commented on it.

I also think you have to get an idea of what is happening in other areas of
the conference concurrent with the ibogaine panel.  Are we competing with some
major meeting? Is there a dinner going on during what would be the tail end of
our extended panel?  etc., etc, etc.

Thanks all for all input and feedback.
I gave blood for the basic hepatic test today. I couldn’t believe it-
the nurse found a vein I didn’t even know I had in my upper arm, just over
the elbow. I coulda sworn I’d not only found and hit ever single vein into
submission, but done it more than once. But no, she found, tapped and
shunted a vein in ONE go.
Of course the blood dribbled and drabbed into the test tube, but she got
it all, all she needed.
Ya.
So, have a day all.
Peace and love,

Preston? What is that lab I told you about? I think its Smithklein. 65 bucks
is what it is I think for basic liver functions and whatever else they need.
Talk to Frank . I think he’ll know. And of course if that doesn’t work. Run
around the block or briskly walk and go into an ER tell them that you have
slight pain in your chest and under your ribs and they’ll do the EKG and the
blood work and after they do request all the paper work (your property) and
take it from there. But if you have the 65 or 100 bucks I’d advise going the
normal route because we all know that once you walk into an ER especially in
NYC you can kiss the rest of the day (if your lucky) goodbye.

might not get this till I return, hoping to catch someone else’s wi-fi in the meantime.
I really felt meeting your dad (mine passed away a few years back and never got to see any of this, and still lots of unresolved shit with that, as I’m sure you can imagine) but it was weird… I have been thinking about the old country (IRE) since my second day in Mexico, actually I was thinking about the color green and then it came into my mind and never left. Both of my parents came here a couple of years before I was born. Anyway I spent the day with Dimitri and we talked about the similarities between the Irish and the Greek’s you know the whole drinking, crying, poetry, thing. and he talked about going back to Greece after his Ibogaine experience and I wished I had that same kind of opportunity but then we walk up to Union Sq. and I meet your dad and  he talked about Ireland. It was so strange considering its not exactly the thing that comes up in my every day conversation. Then after talking with your dad for a bit it brought me back to my relationship with my own father. All the times he’d come down to Tompkins Sq. asking all the junkies have you seen my son…. As If I ever would have gone with him. Well actually I did once but that was after an OD and was forced. All the money spent on the best rehabs when I had no intention of stopping.  But you get my drift. that kind of love is so rare in this life.  I guess what I’m trying to say is seeing the love your father had for you (whatever it takes kinda thing) helped me to get much more in touch with my relationship with my own father. Don’t wait till its too late to show hiom what your really made of.
I believe many forces played a role in seeking and finding the way I did. Strangely enough the day I took my main dose was the one year anniversary of my best friend and running partners death 29 years old and although I knew it was around the same time I was pretty shocked to return to realize that it was the exact date. So I’m rambling but I’m Glad to hear your going well and give my regards to your family. And last but certainly not least, a thought is just a though its when you entertain that thought does it turn into an action. Your probably right about the active addiction and the not sleeping. Either way its a small price to pay.
Call me anytime.  -M.

Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed.

Hey Jon,

Absolutely mahn.  I enjoyed your talk at the May 2003 ibogaine thing in
NYC.  There is still time to sort all of this shit out.

I will talk to you in private in a minute.

What will actually happen is … between now and when the event occurs,
we’re gonna wind up with probably half the prospective speakers actually
showing up.  This is why I asked for a large room with fleXible time.

If 5 people make it…  It’ll be okay.  If 15 people make it, that too, is
all-good.  Nobody is disinclined or unrepresented.  And it’s really not
critical to the continuity of life on Earth if people who absolutely,
positively, and without a doubt, plan to attend … don’t show up.

I’m starting to get blips in email from a few people; it’ll get sorted
out.  What I’m unclear on are abstracts that DO NOT EXIST.  “I submitted,
and…”  Nope, you didn’t.  Or, if you did, it did not land in IBOGAINE.

I’ve written Boaz, and will start taking all of this into private email,
the main message was just a catch-all sorta thing.  I will also write
Peter Cohen, but if he didn’t submit TO IBOGAINE, then…  I have nothing
to do with whatever panel he did submit to, and thus, he needs to sort
that out with Allan.

Finally, I still have no feedback from anybody regarding whut up with
MAPS, so I’m just skipping the bullshit and talking to Rick directly to
find out if there is A PRESENTATION or if everyone is just doing their own
thing.

Updates as they land.

If you need to touch-base regarding THIS event, please send me email; I
will set up the tentative speakers list in a day or three.

This is still the ibogaine list, not the 800 letters pertaining to
organizing HRC list.  ANNOUNCEMENTS will be made in this space, but every
piece of flotsam doesn’t need to land here; if you have some desire to
plaster it in front of an audience, well, go right ahead and have fun.

But you *NEED TO* also make sure you are sending it directly to ME.  If
you wanna complain about something, vent, whatever, then feel free to send
it to whomever you want, but you ALSO need to send it to me if you want me
to read it and act on it in some way.

The MAIN THING to keep in mind is…  It’s a cool place to hang out,
interact with people and have fun.  I mean, it’s New Orleans.  If you have
some vision in your mind of a huge audience anxiously awaiting to hear
what we have to say…  You’re gonna be very disappointed.

The last HRC I did was with Deborah and Dana in Seattle, 2002.  Maybe
25-30 people showed up in the ibogaine room.  DPA last year was roughly
the same thing with Howard, Ken Alper, myself, Dana, Sandra, and Daniel
Pinchbeck.

This time around I got a bigger room, so I’m gonna guess 75 people will be
in the audience, maybe a few more.

None of this is really critical to the continuation of life on Earth.
Please try not to turn it into Ego Wars, I have enough headaches trying to
deal with everyone as it is.

And … I already know the answer to that magical question, “Can’t we all
just get along?”  No!

Despite that, please try not to act like an asshole.  I’m doing my best to
accomplish same.  Nobody has been disinclined — and if you think some of
the panelists are all warm and melty inside at the presence of some of the
other panelists, well, you’d be mistaken.  Fortunately or not, we’re all
on planet Earth.  Oh well.

Laters,

Patrick

Hey Randy,

Actually my providers were clear that an aftercare plan is essential to keeping off the shit.  I am in therapy right now with a harm reduction therapist who specializes in internal family systems.  That was already having a positive in effect in that I had maintained a very low level use in the weeks before ibo, and should be even more helpful now.

I have been in this addiction/recovery game my whole adult life, so I have read about and tried just about all the self help groups, including SMART.  While I greatly respect SMART and SOS, I really don’t see myself going down those rods again.
And I really am burnt out on 12 step.

I really like what Marc said.  Keeping busy, trying to live better, healthier, these are my goals too.  I’m staying with my parents until after Christmas when I will get my own place again, so I’m here on a quiet suburban street away from the old haunts.
I do look forward to returning the big mango though free to really enjoy the city.

As for complete abstinence?  I may smoke weed, I may not.  Hasn’t come up here on Penny Lane, but I’m sure it will over the coming weeks and months. No crack, smack or Jack is my motto right now.

Anyway, thanks for the concern for us recent ibonougts.  What along strange trip it’s been……

Sean glad to hear your doing well. When I was using I was the cleanest guy I knew. Bed made everything where it should be… and maybe because I wanted to keep up the appearance of someone who had there shit together or maybe narcotics just put you in that state where all of a sudden you feel this incredible urge to change the room around or clean the windows from the outside. As if thats gonna somehow change how we feel inside.
NOW, I hate even going into my bedroom because it kinda looks like hurricane Charile made an unexpected stop. But to me the exact opposite is fine for right now. I know I’m gonna have to go home tomorrow and clean especially since I’m moving out at the end of the month but I’m doing it all in my own time. When I feel like the energy I’ll try and if I don’t then I will wait.  And the funniest part is when I got home the place was immaculate but now it looks like a bomb when off. feel bad for my  roommates but in the big scheme of things, not that big a deal either.
Get in touch with me through Preston. BTW- Your Dad is awesome. Your very lucky. -m.

Hi Allison,

How ya doin? One thing I found different about ibogaine versus other hallucinogens is that the hallucinations were closed eye.  I could make them go away at any time by opening my eyes.  This is a piece of control that I found really reassuring for the most part.  So if the pictures are bothering you, you can open your eyes and they are simply gone. Close your eyes and you will see something else. I was told this is really common with ibo, and it proved true for me.

I wanted to go deep, though, I stuck though a lot when I could have looked the other way.  I did open my eyes now and make some shit go away just cause I could. Isn’t that why Clinton had sex with Monica?

Anyway, please keep posting your thoughts and concerns…there’s a hell of lot of experience on this list.

Ur such a fuckin downer Randy. Just kidding. Realist is more like it. For me, I think that 21 days out and finally allowing my body to catch up to my mind all I find that I want to do is let my body get as healthy as I feel my mind is becoming. The sun… my God, what a powerful healer. I feel like I walked in the shadows for 10 years and to just be outside makes all the difference in the world.  Ran 5 miles this morning which I thought might kill me at the time but got those endorphins cooking the only fashion way and right now I feel great. Although I smoked a cigarette right after and almost yakked. Buying the patch tonight.  And after my little bug and losing what now has leveled out at 15 lbs. (meth fat in my opinion) but not eating might helped that one along as well. What was I saying??? Oh yeah, so  I have a gym in my moms building with a pool and I’m spending the rest of this week allowing myself get into a routine that is healthy instead of one that is destructive.  I’m going out to East Hampton tonight for some transcendental meditation on the beach… something you’d never in a million years find me at (Hampton hotties or not) and I’m meeting with a specialist in NYC that is putting a group together strictly for ibogaine people. So slowly but surely I’m allowing all of the pieces to fall into place without that same feeling of wanting to be fixed immediately.  I actually was in a (dope in my face) situation almost immediately after getting to L.A. and it scared me a little but I wouldn’t do anything to tamper with the feeling I had then or the one I have  have right now. So to me, living in a healthy manner mind, body, and soul is the key to “relapse prevention” for me anyway or at least until I feel like I have to do more. Although I can’t imagine doing anything more than I am right now except a little less pot and I havent smoked in 24 hours and I’m fine. God it helped in the begining though!
One thing is for sure, and I’ll end with this because I have to get out of here, 10 years of rehabs and NA did nothing for me. I was still my miserable self. Not to mention spending the rest of my life in church basements didn’t seem like sobriety to me it seemed like hiding. I am however open to any and all sugestions.  Call me later. -M.

Hello to all the recent iboganauts,

Question: What are you guys doing to prepare for relapse prevention?

At some point, sometime, you will have an urge to use or be in a place where
junk is practically being handed to you. What will you do when that day
comes?

Hey Patrick,

Because I’m a lazy slacker, i never got around to submitting an abstract..
but i thought i’d bother ye and see if there might be any interest in
hearing that presentation i did on 18-mc again, or maybe on ibogaine’s
pharmacology.

if not, no sweat.. just thought it couldn’t hurt to ask.

oh, and you’re obviously pretty busy at the moment, but if you do have a
free moment at some point, can i have me shell account? =)

take care

Hey list,

What a journey!  I got a good night’s sleep last night….it was really nice after being up for 30 hours.  Woke up refreshed and feeling damn good.  Made my bed for the first time in years in fact.  I used to just leave it until it was time to change the sheets.

I felt an inner peace, a calm which I have not felt in so long that I forgot what it was like.  There is no desire to get high, and I think that it really such a part of it. The attachment is gone..the gnawing incessant attachment to coke and dope.

I took seriously the advice of my providers and took a week off form work to process, gain my strength and ease back into the world.  I am still amazed how my visual perception seems so different.  It’s like the world has come alive for me.  My mind is quieter.  There is peace.

This evening I had a cup a tea with a friend and talked about my experience. She got clean in NA, but is open-minded to whatever works for helping addicts.  She was fascinated.  We agreed that I would really need to follow through with my aftercare plan of therapy and a support group.

Tonight I have been reading a book on healing based on tribal rites. Wonder why?
I so much more open to healing now.

All in all, I am what I used to refer to as mellow.  It has been a long time since I have been here. It feels like I have come home.

Pax,
Sean

Yes, seems a bit strange. Maybe he should have put “Pygmies of the Congo

Nick

Albert got back to me and explained, firstly, that “Lee” is just his
pen-name, so I should call him Albert, and, secondly, that he got the info
about iboga’s origins in the Rift Valley from Eric Taub, and quotes the
following from his site:

All the best

Nick

AT NIRVAN’S GATEPOST: IT’S THE SPIRIT OF IBOGAINE,  AGAIN
How One Exotic Plant Medicine Keeps Growing Roots…

Four years  and hundreds of long, psychoactive sessions later, the root
of
the iboga plant, extracted as ibogaine, continues along its mysterious
underground path. An article published in this magazine in 1995 helped
lay
some of those tracks here in the West, extending a journey that began
centuries ago when groups of pygmies venturing w! estward from the jungles
of the Rift Valley introduced iboga plant medicine to the Fang of West
Africa.  How the pygmies of East Africa used iboga is not clear. But the
Fang living in the equatorial areas in and around Gabon soon incorporated
it
into their lives, their rituals and their mythology.

Nick,

I emailed Eric to see if he could put a source to the information or asked if
it were in error.

Hi Allison,

How ya doin? One thing I found different about ibogaine versus other hallucinogens is that the hallucinations were closed eye.  I could make them go away at any time by opening my eyes.  This is a piece of control that I found really reassuring for the most part.  So if the pictures are bothering you, you can open your eyes and they are simply gone. Close your eyes and you will see something else. I was told this is really common with ibo, and it proved true for me.

I wanted to go deep, though, I stuck though a lot when I could have looked the other way.  I did open my eyes now and make some shit go away just cause I could. Isn’t that why Clinton had sex with Monica?

Anyway, please keep posting your thoughts and concerns…there’s a hell of lot of experience on this list.

Sean

Hey Marc,

Good to have you back.  And that sex reset is really good to hear about.:) After I posted last night I had a moment where I thought of using.  It was quite a wake up for me.  I allowed myself to go back for a moment to that dark horrible place of addiction that ibogaine brought me to, and the moment passed fast.

I guess I feel ready to post this now.  The incident that the ibo really had me stare at was when I shared a needle with a using acquaintance last winter. I didn’t tell him I was HIV.  I just wanted to get off that bad. It is the only time I shared a needle. I got HepC from him, and I guess there is a good chance he got HIV from me.

To think that I passed on this horrible virus to another after the hell and pain I suffered with tortures me.  When I explained to my friend Sharon last night that ibo took me to the pits of my own personal hell for a while she said “that sounds really horrible. Told her that I thought consciousness protects us form such pain because it likes to protect us from pain, but sitting in deep personal emotional regret and remorse seemed like what I needed to really want to put down the dope.

I never want to put another at risk like that again.  I never want to be in a place where my getting off is so important that I completely don’t give a shit about another. I want to do no harm.

Well, I guess I am off to day four.  As for the sleep thing I have wondered if not having being physically addicted at the time of treatment made a difference in that area. Maybe.

Anyway, good to have you back on the east coast bro. Hope we can plan that NY face to face debrief soon.

Have a nice day y’all.

Sean

I feel very envious but pleased for success.  I’ve been clean for a yr and a half now, and not had methadone for a good year but am still fighting the fight.  Most days are OK but then it feels like boredom sets in and I miss the high days.  I know everyone says to try filling your time but its like I get bored very easily and when the challenge wears off its like what will I do next.  Perhaps its an attitude or personality thing.  Anybody else feel like that.?  I have been following the Ibo for ages and it sounds so good but I’m so scared of by the scary mind picture thing.  I love opiates but am shit scared of mushrooms, acid etc.  Does not re-act well with my brain,  I just get paranoid and freak out.   I don’t even like smoking dope so how does that fit in.  Allison

Hey list,

What a journey!  I got a good night’s sleep last night….it was really nice after being up for 30 hours.  Woke up refreshed and feeling damn good.  Made my bed for the first time in years in fact.  I used to just leave it until it was time to change the sheets.

I felt an inner peace, a calm which I have not felt in so long that I forgot what it was like.  There is no desire to get high, and I think that it really such a part of it. The attachment is gone..the gnawing incessant attachment to coke and dope.

I took seriously the advice of my providers and took a week off form work to process, gain my strength and ease back into the world.  I am still amazed how my visual perception seems so different.  It’s like the world has come alive for me.  My mind is quieter.  There is peace.

This evening I had a cup a tea with a friend and talked about my experience. She got clean in NA, but is open-minded to whatever works for helping addicts.  She was fascinated.  We agreed that I would really need to follow through with my aftercare plan of therapy and a support group.

Tonight I have been reading a book on healing based on tribal rites. Wonder why?
I so much more open to healing now.

BUT, its not that terrified nasty toss and turn a lot of us know very well. There is still that peace no matter what. I think I described it to Preston as feeling as if something is with me now. I can’t stop being grateful no matter how annoying or even uncomfortable its been at times. There is still this feeling of knowing I’m out the other side.
So although my sleeping pattern has been less that ideal, my days have been amazing. Spent my first week running around California and had a blast and since as I said there wasn’t much sleep goin on I was able to use that to my advantage.. On a side note, having sex after ibogaine is incredible. talk about “re-set” but I’ll go into that later. I dreaded coming back to NYC but because of a case of gastritis I cut my trip short by one day.As the plane landed I thought ” its all waiting for you out there” but  when I got back it was like I was seeing home though different eyes. Almost as if I was making peace with this city I’ve had so much hurt and loss in. God, its amazing the insight and clarity I still feel.
heading out to go running now. How funny is that? but I now have this determination or this drive to keep on keepin on, and I know that one of those things is to get those endorphins going naturally. I guess I’m just ready to be healthy or maybe capable is the better word to use cuz I’ve been willing for some time now but simply couldn’t find a way out.
-m.

Hey list,

What a journey!  I got a good night’s sleep last night….it was really nice after being up for 30 hours.  Woke up refreshed and feeling damn good.  Made my bed for the first time in years in fact.  I used to just leave it until it was time to change the sheets.

I felt an inner peace, a calm which I have not felt in so long that I forgot what it was like.  There is no desire to get high, and I think that it really such a part of it. The attachment is gone..the gnawing incessant attachment to coke and dope.

I took seriously the advice of my providers and took a week off form work to process, gain my strength and ease back into the world.  I am still amazed how my visual perception seems so different.  It’s like the world has come alive for me.  My mind is quieter.  There is peace.

This evening I had a cup a tea with a friend and talked about my experience. She got clean in NA, but is open-minded to whatever works for helping addicts.  She was fascinated.  We agreed that I would really need to follow through with my aftercare plan of therapy and a support group.

Tonight I have been reading a book on healing based on tribal rites. Wonder why?
I so much more open to healing now.

All in all, I am what I used to refer to as mellow.  It has been a long time since I have been here. It feels like I have come home.

Pax,
Sean

At least you care Randy which is more than can be said for a lot of parents, straight or not.
I had a similar conversation with my daughter of 23yrs old and ended up saying I couldn’t keep appologising.  I can’t turn the clock back and to keep beating myself up and feeling guilty is not helping.  There comes a time to move forward and youve got to take it when its there  Allison

My son knows no other way. He’s been around addiction all of his life and he has been blessed, or cursed, I don’t which, with an extreme amount of heart.

Randy, I have two adult sons (22 and 26) and I raised them and went through all the stages of addiction and they watched. I do not mean they watched me actually shooting, smoking or snorting…..they watched my steady decline from a good wife, mother and nurse to divorced wife, negligent mother and unlicensed nurse waiting tables at Shoneys.
They do not use and drink. In fact my oldest son Patrick says he has never tasted alcohol or smoked a cigarette. He has ZERO tolerance for ANY drink or use. He will not even socialize with people he knows to use or drink.
My youngest son sounds like your son. He has experimented with weed and crystal meth but did not take it any farther. He loves to drink a beer or two every now and then. He has friends who smoke weed and he has little tolerance for it he says but I notice the ‘caretaking enabler’ in him.
You are right they did nothing to deserve the life they were dealt. Addiction is terrible poison.
I have not discussed Ibogaine with my sons yet. When the time is near I will explain it to them.
I feel like they are going to roll their eyes and say ‘whatever Mom’ but then again they might not. They are both intelligent college educated men. I plan to give them information for them to read instead of me trying to explain it to them.
Our turn with Ibogaine will come Randy. I agree with you that it will be when it is suppose to be.
Peace and thanks for your posts!

Albert got back to me and explained, firstly, that “Lee” is just his

following from his site:

AT NIRVAN’S GATEPOST: IT’S THE SPIRIT OF IBOGAINE,  AGAIN
How One Exotic Plant Medicine Keeps Growing Roots…

Four years  and hundreds of long, psychoactive sessions later, the root of
the iboga plant, extracted as ibogaine, continues along its mysterious
underground path. An article published in this magazine in 1995 helped lay
some of those tracks here in the West, extending a journey that began
centuries ago when groups of pygmies venturing w! estward from the jungles
of the Rift Valley introduced iboga plant medicine to the Fang of West
Africa.  How the pygmies of East Africa used iboga is not clear. But the
Fang living in the equatorial areas in and around Gabon soon incorporated it
into their lives, their rituals and their mythology.

Hi Jaden, Hi Maya and List

Awesome, thanx for the tips.
You’re very welcome Maya. They’re just tips or excerpts from my own experience.
I hope everything is well with you.
Thank you. Well as well can be when one chooses this lifestyle. The hood where I play out my addiction here in Vancouver is pretty intense but I have family and people who are dear to me and my little sister lives in the inner city as well so I get to see her.
Would you recommend the HCL over the
root bark? I have heard it is more concentrated, and
thus, more potent.
I have taken both root bark and HCL and from my own experience, you heard right. The HCL caused my visions to come faster it seemed. They were complete but it was like flipping through a rolodex of memories at a faster rate. The experience came on faster as well and it was cleaner in the way that I only threw up once and when I was I hate to use the words comming down but when I was it was less unpleasant. The HCL seemed stronger and I also stayed up for a couple more daze afterwards. Point is, I would recommend HCL over root bark yes. 

Honestly, being at 19ml sucks. I am really sure it does. Being attatched to any kind of anything when you dont want to be sucks..Big Time. I am tired
of the liquid shackles, and Ibogaine sounds amazing. It is. It has changed my life in many many ways. It demands great respect. It is Spiritual. 
I am planning to detox this weekend. Is 1gm generally
enough? For detox 1gm was enough for me absolutely. I am happy for you and I wish you well on your journey. I hope you have taken the neccessary precautions and have the support you will need. Really, I hope it goes as it should for you. It will change your life in no small way. 

I wish you the best.Thank you.  Take care of yourself, and have
a great day! Feel free to pm if you every need to
chat. I dont know what pm means. Take care. Jaden

Maya :)

Dear list,

Hey…thanx for the advice and opinions.  I was

what was the best retailer?  I am currently
considering The Herbalist, Ethnogarden, and

$400.00 cheap.  Most medical conferences run 1,500+ but getting back to the
ibogaine presentation, that is only one day running between 90 -115 depending
on when you register.  Maybe other deals can be worked out just for the

REGISTRATION
Registration Fees:
until September 1st (postmarked): $360 ($90/day)
$330 for HRC members
$260 for speakers
after September 1st:450 ($115/ a day)

$300 speaker registration

This should be an interesting conference in an interesting city.

Why don’t you establish a tentative presenters agenda so we can begin to have
an idea of who will be speaking when.  I think the discussion section should

Aren’t treatments going to take place during the concurrent training session
and samples given out as in bwiti rites?  That should provide a good
understanding of ibogaine and its effects.

Anyway get me a schedule as soon as you can so I can both understand what is
happening and begin to promote it.

Thanks guys.

Hi Jaden,

Awesome, thanx for the tips.  I hope everything is
well with you.  Would you recommend the HCL over the
root bark?  I have heard it is more concentrated, and
thus, more POTENT.

Honestly, being at 19ml sucks.  Big Time.  I am tired
of the liquid shackles, and Ibogaine sounds amazing.
I am planning to detox this weekend.  Is 1gm generally
enough?

I wish you the best.  Take care of yourself, and have
a great day!  Feel free to pm if you every need to
chat.

Maya  🙂

Subject: [ibogaine] 5th National Harm Reduction Conference
Date: August 16, 2004 at 11:46:31 PM EDT

The 5th National Harm Reduction Conference will take place on November 11-14, 2004, at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel in New Orleans.

The Ibogaine Panel / Roundtable (actually, the table is rectangular-shaped, but FACTS only get in the way of things), will take place in a room that seats 100+, on Saturday the 13th.

It will begin in the late afternoon and run until everybody who has something to say has finished talking; there is nobody left in the audience; or the speakers look at the clock, realize that it’s 8PM, everybody is in New Orleans, and probably we can all find something much more fun to do at that point.

The speakers I am certain of, at this particular juncture in time are:

Deborah C. Mash, Ph.D.

Jeffrey D. Kamlet, MD — For those of you who don’t know who he is, other than being cool people, Jeff is a Board Certified Addictionologist, and President of the Florida Society of Addiction Medicine (FSAM).  He will be presenting a Clinician’s View of Ibogaine — anecdotes from 400+ ibogaine detoxifications which have taken place at St. Kitts.

Howard S. Lotsof — President, Dora Weiner Foundation.  Howard will present on: Drug User Rights and Control of Ibogaine

Dana Beal, Cures Not Wars

Patrick K. Kroupa — That’d be me.  I will be moderating the panel, and presenting on the Art of Self-Destruction, and using that wonderful molecule called ibogaine to step out of hardcore, lifelong drug-dependence.

ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS that I am aware of, include:

Stanton Peele, Ph.D. — Stanton will be presenting — quite likely about a variety of post-ibogaine aftercare modalities and options — IF he is present at the HRC conference itself.  At this exact moment in time, his attendance at the conference is not certain.

Dmitri Mugianis — Dmitri INTENDS to be present.  He will be talking about ibogaine treatment in, uhm, urban settings.  So…  Dmitri, did ibogaine provide you with a complete psycho-spiritual reintegration and give you the opportunity to step out of hardcore drug dependence?  “Fuckin’ A!”  Does it work for others?  “You bet!”  Most excellent & Rock the Fuck Out!

EVENT: a very talented dude named Ben De Loenen (LunArt Productions) will be debuting his ibogaine documentary.  Exactly when, where, and how many times his film will be shown, are still up in the air at the present time.

The only thing that’s certain is: it will air — one or more times — during the HRC conference.

PEOPLE I *MUST* HEAR FROM:

Randy Hencken — The Ibogaine Association.  Presenting on: Ibogaine-Assisted Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Chemical Dependence.

Randy, I have your abstract, it is approved, I need to hear, “Yes, I will be there,” to move you into the list up top there.

Lissa Friedman, Ph.D. — Presenting on: Transpersonal Psychotherapy In Post Ibogaine Treatment.

Lissa, extremely cool.  First, I need to hear from you, “Yes, I will be there.”  And second, from the very first sentence of your abstract — which HAS BEEN APPROVED — it needs a little modification.  To wit: “The presentation will be done in four parts: The first part will present an overview of the transpersonal approach to psychotherapy; specifically in reference to post Ibogaine care…”

Lissa … To present what you’ve written would take roughly 3 or 4 hours — please correct me if I’m wrong — you’ve got 15-20 minutes.  You need to be aware of this and make some slight changes in what you intend to share.

I would very much enjoy having you there, so…  Get back to me!

Boaz Wachtel — Ibogaine and the Harm reduction movement.  Boaz, your abstract was approved.  I sent you email, you never got back to me.  Dana says you are bouncing around the world, and Howard has mentioned that as far as he knows you do not intend to attend.

Please get back to me.  It’d be cool to have you there.  If I don’t hear from you in the next week or two, I need to assume that you will not be present.

Catherine Jones — Tenderloin AIDS Resource Center, Presenting on: Indications for the Use of the Psychedelic Plants Ayahausca and Ibogaine.

Your abstract was approved.  Except, I have absolutely no idea who this person is.  I’ve never even heard of them.  Thus … contact needs to be made.  Mostly I am talking to myself here, but if anyone reading this knows who this is, please tell her to get in touch with me.  Thanks.

People who are LOST IN SPACE:

Earth to Sandra Karpetas:  The last time I talked with you, which I think was about 6 weeks ago(?) you weren’t sure if you planned to attend.  Howard seems to be under the impression that you submitted an abstract.  If you did, nobody has seen it.  There is absolutely nothing present from you, regarding ibogaine.

Randy submitted an abstract of his own, on behalf of himself and the Ibogaine Association.  It does not include you.

Is you, or is you not, gonna show?  Get in touch with me please, or I’ll try to give you a call in the next coupla days.

Peter Cohen: I have absolutely no idea WHO Peter Cohen is, except through Howard.  I have never interacted with him.  I don’t know how to reach him.  If he submitted an abstract it DID NOT land in the ibogaine pile.

So, thusly, I have no idea what is happening with Peter Cohen, but we still have some time to sort this out.

Hello, hello, hello…  Is there anybody else reading these words who submitted an abstract and is completely unaccounted for…?  Speak now, or don’t.

People who do not get back to me in time, or do so during the last 5 minutes, will STILL be able to present.  But, you’re going to be speaking last, and if it’s 3 hours into the presentation … I have no idea how many  audience members will stick around.

What tends to happen at HRC/DPA conferences is: there are a few thousand people who arrive at the hotel.  At any given point in time there are smaller workshops, and larger conference rooms with presentations.  People wander around, and if they have no specific agenda, the larger rooms fill up with MORE PEOPLE.  Gosh, what’re the odds!?!?

Many of the audience members will have absolutely no idea what ibogaine is, who any of us are, or what the hell is going on.  “It’s a hallucinogen that cures drug addiction!??@#!??!?!  Noway!”

What is NOT happening:

There will not be a Special Ibogaine Workshop, for the Differently-Abled, in an Alternate Universe, where 15 speakers present to 4 audience members — in a room the size of a broom-closet, because they don’t want to be on the same panel as somebody else (I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!).

If you intend to present about a topic that covers medicine, science, research, or drug-dependence … and you don’t have a background in — or any experience with — these topics.  Well…  It is quite likely that somebody present will CORRECT YOU.

Respectful, awed silence, may or may not occur.  Probably, it won’t.  So, don’t talk bullshit.  Talk what YOU know.  And LET IT ALL OUT.  You know you want to baby!

Guns, knives, and heavy blunt objects will be checked at the door.  Panelists are not allowed to engage in physical combat while within the conference room itself.

An Ibogaine Death-Match will be scheduled after the festivities, in an alley behind the hotel.  Winner takes all.  Last one still standing is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

“I’m gonna fuckin’ kill you with my peace, love, and good intentions!”

And…  although it has not yet been formally announced, planned, conceptualized, and will be “organized” in the last 5 minutes, the day before…  I am nearly 100% certain that Dana Beal will throw a post-HRC ibogaine conference, somewhere in New Orleans.  Because…  He just can’t stop himself.

While this unofficial conference will probably lack most of the main presenters, it will make up for this with high quality drugZ; and thus, is always a popular attraction!

Anybody with 6 hours worth of material they’d like to share; please take note.  It can run for a day, two days, a week.  Time is relative; an abstraction, and completely non-linear anyway.  Show up and experience this for yourself.

As more information becomes available it will be posted to THIS LIST.

As speakers, exact times, and presentation topics solidify, the final agenda will be posted to THIS LIST.

The News & Events section of the MindVox : Ibogaine site:

The Ibogaine Dossier:

And probably the Dora Weiner Foundation.

As well as Cures Not Wars:

European Ibogaine Forum 2018

A Speaker’s List will light up on MindVox within the next week or so, as I get everyone’s email address, so we can sort shit out.

In conclusion: WOooooo hOooOOOooo!  Anarchy Now!  Let the Games Begin!

Thank you,

Patrick

My son knows no other way. He’s been around addiction all of his life and he has been blessed, or cursed, I don’t which, with an extreme amount of heart.

Randy, I have two adult sons (22 and 26) and I raised them and went through all the stages of addiction and they watched. I do not mean they watched me actually shooting, smoking or snorting…..they watched my steady decline from a good wife, mother and nurse to divorced wife, negligent mother and unlicensed nurse waiting tables at Shoneys.
They do not use and drink. In fact my oldest son Patrick says he has never tasted alcohol or smoked a cigarette. He has ZERO tolerance for ANY drink or use. He will not even socialize with people he knows to use or drink.
My youngest son sounds like your son. He has experimented with weed and crystal meth but did not take it any farther. He loves to drink a beer or two every now and then. He has friends who smoke weed and he has little tolerance for it he says but I notice the ‘caretaking enabler’ in him.
You are right they did nothing to deserve the life they were dealt. Addiction is terrible poison.
I have not discussed Ibogaine with my sons yet. When the time is near I will explain it to them.
I feel like they are going to roll their eyes and say ‘whatever Mom’ but then again they might not. They are both intelligent college educated men. I plan to give them information for them to read instead of me trying to explain it to them.
Our turn with Ibogaine will come Randy. I agree with you that it will be when it is suppose to be.
Peace and thanks for your posts!

Hey Preston,

Did your ibogaine providers ask you for a liver panel?  I thought it was standard procedure because I was asked for it by the same group which dosed you. But then maybe because I told them I have HepC they insisted on it.

Hi Maya. My name is Jaden and I live in Vancouver Canada. Right now I am wired wired wired. Im doing about a gram and a half of heroin and twice that in coke. Point is I really hurt when I dont have any drugs in my body. I have been almost this wired before and have taken Ibogaine to detox. Of course it worked its magic on my physical, mental and spiritual, Painlessly. So your question about detoxing from 19 mills of meth (congrats for keeping your dose so low) I would answer, No, I dont think it will hurt you. I also think that you have lowered yourself so much already that you dont have all that far to go. I have never been on methadone but people usually tell me that if they reduce their dose by a couple of mills a week its generally painless as well. But there are so many other advantages to Ibogaine besides a painless detox. I have ordered a gram of HCL and it is there for me when I am ready. I am not. I wish you well and feel blessed that your mind is even thinking about getting yourself clean. Take care.

Wow,

I am surprised- the anecdotal evidence I’ve read says
that Ibogaine treatment for opiate(meth.) addiction
was superlative! I would be interested in hearing
from people who have actually done the procedure. I
am in the midst of tapering my dosage, and I’m just
sooooooooo sick and tired of the liquid ball and
chain. I have only taken methadone for 11 months, and
am currently on 19mg. If I tried to detox from this
amount, would it be terribly painful?

Thank you very much,

Hi Preston,

I am not sure about NYC but if you go to the county health and tell them that you may have aids and maybe another STD they will give you one free.  Maybe tell them that you may of shared with a guy who you heard has hep C or HIV and is there any way to make sure since your not working.  Chances are they will jump for joy to have you come in – HONEST.
Now, if they ask when tell them a coulple of months ago, maybe 3, not really sure.  I don’t know if they will do a CBC, Sed rate, Diff count, etc. but I am pretty sure they will do some kind of test.  I am not trying to be funny CBC is complete cell count (white and red and others like segmented, and eo sin a fils, etc.  Sed rate is the time it takes for your blood to seperate – dark on bottom and clear on top.  Diff count is how many like a  man should have 5.5 million red blood cells per ml and about 5000 white blood cells and technical stuff that I forgot.  Callie could maybe give you more info.  Sometimes you have to throw in the STD thing because the STD people may pay for it.  So tell them everything, once they put a needle in your arm they might as well check for everything.  Damn, I hate them 18g.needles.  Make it easy on yourself call first.  Or maybe the Salvation Army will know.

There is really too much mail for me to read with my dial up.  If ever you want to contact me you can write direct.  If you have Hep C you should tell them and they may do the liver enzymes tests.  Or if your a drinker they might.  They don’t believe drunks any more than junkies, they believe their all liars and feel they downplay their use.

Best to ya.

kindhearted and funny and blahbidyblahbidyblah.
So anyway, I’m tired and growing tireder by the moment having been on

Sean, Thanx dude I needed to hear that. My Dr. had a cancellation and I got to see him at 10:30 this morning. I feel much better now. I’m going to keep my dose at 50 mgs. I see no reason to be half sick until the first of October. The other Dr. was cutting me back like it or not on my part. Plus he was gouging me because I’m an addict and he’s got the stuff man. 250 bucks first visit and 100 after. My family Dr. charged me 100 first visit and 60 there after. Not to mention he is being real cool about treating my pain problems with methadone. I just am really grateful that I have my family behind me on this. Preston, I mean no offense by this, but Dilaudids were my favorite after heroin and if it was me I couldn’t eat them. Ever. I never found them that effective when taken orally. But shooting them …well you know better than I do. How ’bout some quick release oxycodone or something. Just a thought. I worry about y’all all the time. Thats a lot easier than looking at myself. Rock on dudes and dudettes.   Randy

I’ve had thoughts about the validity of using Ibogaine for eating disorders, but I’m not really sure if a long term,severe anorexic would be strong enough to go through the process, considering the damage that not eating causes to the internal organs, especially the heart. Perhaps research will be conducted in the futur!

Yes, seems a bit strange. Maybe he should have put “Pygmies of the Congo
Basin.” I mailed Lee to ask him.

Wow,

I am surprised- the anecdotal evidence I’ve read says
that Ibogaine treatment for opiate(meth.) addiction
was superlative!  I would be interested in hearing
from people who have actually done the procedure.  I
am in the midst of tapering my dosage, and I’m just
sooooooooo sick and tired of the liquid ball and
chain.  I have only taken methadone for 11 months, and
am currently on 19mg.  If I tried to detox from this
amount, would it be terribly painful?

Thank you very much,
A.

Hey Randy,

You have a lot of heart, and I’m sure your son got some of that from you.  I can really feel the love you have for him in your post.  And your pain.  I’m glad your dose is coming soon.  In the mean time, a suggestion from a friend, start to try to forgive yourself.  Be less harsh on yourself.  You have a plan for change and your following through.  You know we really aren’t the monsters society paints us to be.  We are people who use abuse drugs.  And yes that can really turn us into friggen beasts some times…but we ain’t all beast, just like nobody is all angel.  We are human beings who use/used or abuse/abused drugs.

Hi Randy,

I second what you say concerning not treating yourself with ibogaine.  The support I got from the providers was indispensable.  Also, there was a process before hand of EKG, liver panel, a depression index test,,,,and very specific instructions to make the treatment as safe as possible.  A provider called my home multiple times through the whole thing making sure I was all right, giving advice to the sitters.

And the whole thing was affordable.  The same project for ibogaine we NYC area people took part in will touch down in another American city later this year.  And then will hit another city. Ibogaine in America is not going away!

I’ve been reading this list for a long time because in spite of the outbursts

something between 200 messages of something else but at least nothing is ever
removed or kept off it.

Patrick what I would say to you are afew things and I’ll start at the top and
work my way down.

Thanks for sharing your observations, all of it is terribly fascinating.  The few comments I have are the following.

While I have talked about ibogaine with Preston, and given him opinions, observations and input; I have absolutely no idea where — or with whom — he was treated.

Regarding the rest of your missive … the moment I can rearrange everything on Earth to better suit your personal needs, I will be sure to notify you.  Prior to this event I would appreciate it if you did not address “Dear Patrick,” messages to me, and then proceed to dump them to the entire list because I don’t reply to you.

Hello … I too, am alive.  I’m busy.  I expend a tremendous amount of my personal time and energy ensuring that this list in particular, continues to function.  It does not magically maintain itself; add new subscribers, replace burnt hardware, update itself, and exist, due to the efforts of people such as yourself who take an open forum which I personally provide, and express their, “respect and gratitude,” by sending “me” histrionic diatribes — and then proceeding to mass-mail them to roughly 5,000 people all at once when I don’t respond.

Speaking of which, the connection that makes all of this possible, is also not free.  Completely discounting the rack of hardware, and the sizable expenditure of my personal time and energy it requires to keep all of this going — bandwidth is not free.  Just plugging our rack in, amounts to running a DDOS attack on our hosting facility.

“What the fuck is all that crap that sails in and out of there?”

Uhm, that’s all us.

“I see.  Well, here’s your bill for all that!”

But … we’re Saving the Universe!

“That’s nice.  Saving the Universe, selling porn, or serving ads…  It’s all the same to us.  Here’s your bill!”

What’s your address, were you volunteering to pay the bill?  I’ll add in a conservative monthly estimate of how many hours I personally spend dealing with everything associated with THIS LIST alone.  Since it’s not-for-profit, I’ll charge only 1/3rd the standard hourly rate for unix consulting (which is about $75 bucks an hour in Florida; $100 – $150 an hour in NY or California).  And that figure doesn’t include web design, art, writing copy, or doing anything esoteric like security, load-balancing, or working with SQL which is required at the backend.

Or … were you just volunteering to answer my email?  Respond to ibogaine-related questions (personal or to the list in general?)  Provide emotional support to the way-fucked?  What?  Please specify, I’ll start sending YOU all of it.

Here’s a 24 hour snapshot of it.  A large variety of letters Just Like Yours, tends to fill it up.  Enjoy.

Patrick

Forgive me while I rant. I’m talking to my 19 year old son yesterday and he describes his friend to me. “He was nodding, you know how you get, and I woke him up because he was twitching and I was worried about him. Well, he woke up and got all pissed at me and yelled at me.”This kid is 19 years old and he thinks its cool to be addicted. Whats worse is my son isn’t but he thinks that he has to protect this dude because of me. My son knows no other way. He’s been around addiction all of his life and he has been blessed, or cursed, I don’t which, with an extreme amount of heart. I’m glad that these pages don’t run when they get wet. Does my boy deserve this? Hell no. But he is dealing with what he has been dealt with. Addiction aint no joke. Ibogaine aint no joke either. I’m a little bit older then most of the people who post here I think, so my inclination is to want to protect everybody’s feeling and shit, but I think it is time to let it be said. You guys who got dosed, and yea damn it I’m envious, don’t forget someone helped you. Pass it on. My dose will come when its spost to. I really glad that Sean got his. Its great to see your post. You can almost feel the wisdom you have gained Sean. When I get mine I’m going to the Oxycontin capital of the world. Eastern KY. Altho I hear there is heroin down there now. I don’t know if I will be able to get anyone dosed but I can sure as hell hip them to the facts.  Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow          Randy

Hey list, as for where to find Ibogaine in Toronto, I think any one in Canada can legally order it thru the mail. Being in the US I haven’t paid attention where. Ethno Gardens or something like that is one of the places but I would be careful, some of the people who claim to have it kind of exaggerate how much Ibogaine is actually in what they sell. Other people here are more privy to that info so stick around someone will help you. But let me say this. I haven’t done it yet but I’ve been getting history and information on it for 8 or 9 months now and no one I know of recommends treating yourself with Ibogaine. Very dangerous. Look up some providers and see if you can work something out with them. The Mindvox site has a list of providers who do Ibogaine not to mention the Wacky Crackheads. So check it out.     Randy

Like any compassionate friend would?

If you think he magically teleported from Florida and dosed Preston then you are far from the truth.

Hello,

I really don’t think a public ibogaine list is the place to rant

Patrick.  That is what private email is for.  I have never to my

knowledge met Patrick.  I was treated by an underground ibogaine

project which is planning to continue to provide ibogaine treatment
at
a low price in a safe way in America.  So people don’t have to leave

the county or have a huge financial obstacle in their way to being

treated.  I was one of many treated in this project.  I guess this
is a
good moment to say that this project is not going away.  There will

another team coming into American City soon, and it will eventually

wind it’s way back to NY.  As I said, I don’t know Patrick really,

really is much bigger than Patrick, as I am sure he will acknowledge.

Superfreak is dope, dont much care if he grows

new, LOD was underground, Patrick spends half
his life with the counter culture the other
half with science weirdos. Not new either.

The rest of this is noise. I dont think fda

peeps I see helping others are always the

they are, its all the same thing no change

only big diff between patrick and all that
is the reason hes the greatest most

hes mad talented. his egotrip is himself

You helped
your friend Preston because you know it is the right thing to do.
You

could help him so you did.

What would your mom there, Dr. Mash do? Hang up on him the second
she
found
out he doesn’t have any money or tell him to go steal it and then
maybe
give
him the time of day. What would mom do if she knew what you know?
She’d
call
the police and have everyone arrested and then throw a press conference

about
how dangerous ibogaine is. That’s exactly what she’d do and you
know it.

After this are your friends from Miami. This is a discussion that

happened
some months ago where Marc Emery told you that your friend’s behave
like
assholes who have no social graces when you stood up for whoever

‘shcmoolyboy’
is and said he knew what he was talking about. Reading his ecg message

that he
posted yesterday or the day before I’d agree, he does look like
he
knows what
he’s talking about even if knowing how to spell isn’t one of his
skills
and
that brings up two topics.

Whatever all of you know and I don’t in any way dispute that you,

mommy,
shcmoolyboy whatever collection of high IQ sociopathic psychos work
with
ibogaine where you’re at, know what they’re talking about but all
of
you are
past arrogant. You’re not nice people, you don’t communicate in
ways
that
reasonable human beings use to communicate. It’s almost like the
only
thing
anyone there understands is power, wether that means lawyers, knowledge,

pulling a gun on someone I don’t know. There is no kindness to anyone.

The other thought is if there is all this knowledge about ibogaine
and
why
exactly it is dangerous and then how to prevent it, but nobody will

share it
with anyone, then what’s that say about all of you? Your ego or
money
is more
important then people’s lives. There isn’t any other message there.

I’m writing it to you Patrick, I’ve written you before and get
no
reply so
here it all is. If your Darth Vader on acid, great. If your manic

depressive or
crazy, great. If you do whatever you do, good for you. You also

communicate
better then almost anyone I’ve ever seen. You are gifted with words.
You
represent ibogaine, you keep running this list and mindvox, I’m
sure
that
doesn’t make your mom happy.

Your a decent person who cares about other people and helps them
even
if its
not what anyone your around would want you to do. Those are your

actions.

Can’t you do something with Mash? It’s obvious that she loves you,
you
love
her, whatever your weird relationship, I’m sure you have a better

chance of
having her listen then anybody else, nothing else has done anything.
You
communicate better then almost anyone I’ve ever seen or heard, I’m

saying it to
you again. So communicate to her.

What about people like Preston? I don’t have any questions about
what
you’d
do, youve already shown it. I also have this thought that probably
you
have a
lot of friends who get help somewhere and it’s not st. kitts. Why
don’t
you
dose everyone in Miami with ibogaine or lsd, anything. Remind them
that
they’re
part of the human race too. I don’t mind Darth Vader on Acid, your
a
complex
mess. It adds character. People listen to you, communicate to them,

please.

I have a open heart and mind to Darth Vader on acid.

But not for George Bush and those like him. I’m not finding a open

Hello,

I really don’t think a public ibogaine list is the place to rant about Patrick.  That is what private email is for.  I have never to my knowledge met Patrick.  I was treated by an underground ibogaine project which is planning to continue to provide ibogaine treatment at a low price in a safe way in America.  So people don’t have to leave the county or have a huge financial obstacle in their way to being treated.  I was one of many treated in this project.  I guess this is a good moment to say that this project is not going away.  There will another team coming into American City soon, and it will eventually wind it’s way back to NY.  As I said, I don’t know Patrick really, except form this list, and seems to me like a great guy.  But this really is much bigger than Patrick, as I am sure he will acknowledge.

Chill man!

I’ve been reading this list for a long time because in spite of the outbursts
and craziness it has more information about ibogaine and what is happening
right now then any other resource that exists. The fact that its live, not
censored or moderated is strength and weakness. it makes it hard to find
something between 200 messages of something else but at least nothing is ever
removed or kept off it.

Patrick what I would say to you are afew things and I’ll start at the top and
work my way down. For someone who never knows anything about anything, it looks
like you know almost everything. What do you do with your knowledge? You helped
your friend Preston because you know it is the right thing to do. You helped
him. You can answer it any way that you want but the truth doesn’t change you
could help him so you did.

What would your mom there, Dr. Mash do? Hang up on him the second she found
out he doesn’t have any money or tell him to go steal it and then maybe give
him the time of day. What would mom do if she knew what you know? She’d call
the police and have everyone arrested and then throw a press conference about
how dangerous ibogaine is. That’s exactly what she’d do and you know it.

After this are your friends from Miami. This is a discussion that happened
some months ago where Marc Emery told you that your friend’s behave like
assholes who have no social graces when you stood up for whoever ‘shcmoolyboy’
is and said he knew what he was talking about. Reading his ecg message that he
posted yesterday or the day before I’d agree, he does look like he knows what
he’s talking about even if knowing how to spell isn’t one of his skills and
that brings up two topics.

Whatever all of you know and I don’t in any way dispute that you, mommy,
shcmoolyboy whatever collection of high IQ sociopathic psychos work with
ibogaine where you’re at, know what they’re talking about but all of you are
past arrogant. You’re not nice people, you don’t communicate in ways that
reasonable human beings use to communicate. It’s almost like the only thing
anyone there understands is power, wether that means lawyers, knowledge,
pulling a gun on someone I don’t know. There is no kindness to anyone.

The other thought is if there is all this knowledge about ibogaine and why
exactly it is dangerous and then how to prevent it, but nobody will share it
with anyone, then what’s that say about all of you? Your ego or money is more
important then people’s lives. There isn’t any other message there.

I’m writing it to you Patrick, I’ve written you before and get no reply so
here it all is. If your Darth Vader on acid, great. If your manic depressive or
crazy, great. If you do whatever you do, good for you. You also communicate
better then almost anyone I’ve ever seen. You are gifted with words. You
represent ibogaine, you keep running this list and mindvox, I’m sure that
doesn’t make your mom happy.

Your a decent person who cares about other people and helps them even if its
not what anyone your around would want you to do. Those are your actions.

Can’t you do something with Mash? It’s obvious that she loves you, you love
her, whatever your weird relationship, I’m sure you have a better chance of
having her listen then anybody else, nothing else has done anything. You
communicate better then almost anyone I’ve ever seen or heard, I’m saying it to
you again. So communicate to her.

What about people like Preston? I don’t have any questions about what you’d
do, youve already shown it. I also have this thought that probably you have a
lot of friends who get help somewhere and it’s not st. kitts. Why don’t you
dose everyone in Miami with ibogaine or lsd, anything. Remind them that they’re
part of the human race too. I don’t mind Darth Vader on Acid, your a complex
mess. It adds character. People listen to you, communicate to them, please.

I have a open heart and mind to Darth Vader on acid.

But not for George Bush and those like him. I’m not finding a open heart or
mind to the emperor either even if that’s your mom.

I also don’t have any questions about why you’ve done ibogaine 15 times or
keep hitting yourself with entheogens. You have to keep reminding yourself
don’t you. Otherwise you’d turn into them.

Thanks for sharing Dave, I’ve actually been checking out your art at Mindvox
lately too.
Went out and had vegan food tonight-delicious, incredible,
can’t-even-tell-if-you-didn’t-already-know-it-was-vegan food.
THen I go work on a film set tomorrow out on Coney Island.
I am excited to be doing so.
This is significant as I’ve been asking agents for the last two years at
least- is the job in the city- when called as I really hate going out and
being at the whim of a film crew away from my pills- but that’s no longer
the case appparently.
Hope it’s a nice day tomorrow- I could use a real nice beach day.
Hope all are well.
Just checking in.
Peace and love,

Hi Howard,

This year had been a watershed year in a long crack addiction.  Burnt out on NA and 12 step impatients and outpatients, I basically just surrendered..to my addiction.  So disgusted with my life, I took eighty from NY to San Fran with one day pereperation.  I had a good union gig, not one i liked much..burt really well paying.  I put ton for a leave of absence..and took off.

As some of my previous posts explained I spent the entire month of May homeless and strung out in SF.  I had first started using H ease the crack crash, and then fellin love with it..especially speedballs.

Anyway,,,press ahead.  I take a Greyhound back to NY, my partner of seven years finally have me the final have ho, and…my parents took me in.  I went back to work,
but kept getting high.

I detoxed off of everything in June, which is when I found this list.  I stated harm reduction therapy.  An angel hooked me up with the amazing ibo underground…
I really wanted to stay clean..but used dope again mid July…had been chipping to point of my treatment.   The last time I used previously to treatment was last Saturday…so I went into the experience entirely clean for six days.

Long answer to a short question….can’t seem to brief on the second day!

Listening to African and world beat..watching the rain, reflceting….it’s all good right now.

Preston

Your dilemma is clear, which isn’t to say very comfortable. Expenses and
availability issues make these sessions difficult to obtain. You want the
I. to peel back the high use levels your addiction has reached, so
another session with I. will make the next visit to your connection far
less expensive and dangerous for your overall health. Is that about it?
You still “love” shooting up, being high on dils, or other opiates, and
staying pain free? Lots of desire there.

I agree you should do another session, but clean out your garbage, and
tidy up the temple before you invite the Goddess back for a revisit. There
are some physical benefits to I. that are wonderful. It seems to dredge
the lymphatics and clear the liver and kidney somehow dramatically during
a session. Plugs opiate receptors, amps up the sensory nerve powers,
decreases inflammation, and rebuilds the will.  What’s not to love?

Thing is, there are herbs, nutrients, foods and home procedures that
accomplish those changes too. Getting free from pain really involves
healing up the damaged tissue causing the pain, not killing the messenger
with the proper level of opiate or drug to mask it. Lose the mask by no
hit available, and all the pain is there still(and it’s Pissed!). If you
can remove the dental infections,do it. Garlic and Peroxide are cheap.
Clean out your kidney and bowel with sensible choices in reach around you,
move your body and mind with some exercises and objectives to strengthen
you. Prepare yourself by taking out this garbage, and your revisit with
Bwiti will open possibilities for growth and change way past the level of
these 3-D healing repairs.

Your concerns and perceptions in what you write suggest you know of these
spiritual dimensions. Your ibo time will be more rewarding if you get over
there more with Bwiti and your guides, and they are less distracted by
having to help you clean your 3-D bedroom.  This is just my opinion, of
course. Do a cleanse, heal up all the causes of that pain, step along
through the gift of this strength and clarity. Go back to your Ibo 2.0
with a little room in your teacup, so to speak. And have a good voice
activated tape recorder next time!

Happy trails,….Dr. Tom

Another interesting source of information regarding music and therapy, I
think I have mentioned it before, is the research of TTT. Or
Terpsichoretrancetherapy.
A great book called TTT “An Introduction to Trance Dancing” written by
Doug Morgan.
He was a student doing research and followed Dr. David Akstein, M.D. and
President, International Association for T.T.T., Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The book is intended to introduce T.T.T. to North Americans. It was
developed in Brazil by David Akstein after studying ritual trance in its
indigenous forms for over 25 years.

This is the main reason I am interested in Ibogaine and what is
happening there. It is one form, and if there is knowledge from all of
the old healing methods made available again, well it surely makes us
all less ignorant and hopefully easier to find the life we want to live.

We are attempting to put together a retreat to have T.T.T. sessions in
Alberta, and I want to offer a safe place possibly for Iboga treatment
as well.
I surely need to get more knowledgable first, but thanks to you all on
the list I have been in a crash course of learning over the past 6-8
months..
Cheers for that>

Bwiti music and iboga.  Maas and Strubelt propose that music changes
phramacology.  Sounds good.  There are also so interesting Bwiti mp3
clips on the page.

Glad you love V.  She obviously loves you.  Important that you also love
you.

<< Curtis, you asked >How are you doing right now a few days out of it?<

At first when dusk first settled in last night, I felt like I might once

again be seeing trails, but it quickly faded away.

Then I went out to the Slipper Room very late, at around 1:30AM or
so,

where V dj’s every Saturday. I still wasn’t trippy really at all, UNTIL
I

took over on the cd decks- boy oh boy there is really something magical

about music, that I know but always seem to forget if I’m not careful,
and

it sets me right the heck off.

I was full on seeing designs and trails again, off things like
curtains

on stage, and off dancing drunk maniacs (in the good sense of that
word). I

also felt happier and constructive simply playing and mixing.

I had a lurch in my great, golden mood last night, and threw myself
into

a real funk about it. My initial reaction was to think, “ok, where the
hell

did V put my morphine,” but amazingly, and I know it’s only been a few
days

so everything is still fresh and new and seems as though it should at
least

be easier, I did NOT go lookin’ for the bottle, I got dressed, did my
makeup

and such, and got the hell out of the apartment instead and did
something

focused and positive instead of retreating and withdrawing into that
state

of “I don’t wanna feel anything at all” that I usually am so ready to

retreat to.

And it was a great idea to do so, to get the heck out and interact
with

other people and with my music.

Really, I am reacting and thinking very differently, but still, I’m

feeling still nervous about the whole pain meds thing.

You asked me Curtis, why I don’t just stay away from the dilaudids
entirely.

The problem is that while the ms-contins are great, crushed, for hitting
the

pain within an hour of taking them, if I were to take them whole, they
eek

out relief over the whole 12 hours way too slowly to help me deal with
the

pain. So I’d like the option of being able to eat a dilaudid when I

absultely need immediate-ish relief and then take the ms-contins on

schedule, uncrushed and as ordered.

Things seem to be working out.

I’m in a good space today.

V wrote me the wisest most beautiful mail this morning after I went
to

bed, encouraging me and letting me know how happy she herself is with
the

way things are progressing, that she fully supports another session and
no

matter what she loves me.

What a great note to read first thing in the morning- to quote an

excerpt:

You’re doing so well –Just  keep focused on all the other things
you’ve

been

busy with since your trip and the right time will present itself to you
when

its right – remember ” a Wizard is never early or late -he arrives
precisely

when he intends too”-(Gandolph) =Ibogaine being the wizard -you being
the

student.

Your enthusiasm is great – Keep it up , but beware of Jealous energy

vampires who can become enviousof your happiness with your new outlook-<

God damn I love this lady. Have I already said that?

Peace and love all, gotta go out and do busy stuff now.

Preston how are you doing bro? I didn’t get the

chance to feel that big reset that you’re talking

about I was already clean for a long time before

I ever did ibo for the first time. I didn’t even

know what it was until I found this list and

even that was by accident when I was searching

through old domains and seeing what happened to

phantom and it led here 🙂

Between what you, Patrick and Dave and whoever

I forgot have said, ibogaine is doing a reset

on you even if you do much more drugs before

it instead of doing less, which I what I thought.

How are you doing right now a few days out of it?

Patrick, I really like the Keeping Clean section,

it keeps growing and you never post any updates 😉

What am I saying, that would ruin the charm of

this place 😉 One thing I would say to you bro

is that you’re printing some of Stanton Peels

articles, he sues people for doing that. If you

look at his site there is a 5 paragraph long

legal warning at the bottom of every page you

may want to include something else even if I

really like what he has to say.

Love the treatment section 🙂

Preston why not stay away from the dils if you

know they are what lead you to trouble and stick

with the oxy?

Peace out

Howdy Jason!

Here’s my account of my Gabonese Bwiti initiation.  Apologies for not being a better writer.  I would have sent this off sooner, but my internet service was inexplicably down for a few weeks.  My ‘puter doesn’t grok the Iboga list; feel free to post this for me, people can pass it on as they see fit; if it’s too big to post, split it up into smaller packets (Part 1, 2, 3 etc.).

I’ll gladly answer any questions posed to me

Happy Trails!

Chris

********************************************************************
MY EXPERIENCE OF VISITING GABON AND RECEIVING A BWITI IBOGA INITIATION

My girlfriend and I spent the entire month of June 2004 in the west-central African country of Gabon, which is very expensive by African standards.  Gabon lacks almost all tourist infrastructure, which meant our travel was hard, but authentic.  Unfortunately, the Gabonese are building an international airport.  The whole country will excruciationally change in the next handful of years.   We were intrigued by Gabon because it is the only African country with large protected reserves of virgin rainforest.  I was also fascinated by the Bwiti religion found throughout Gabon, which uses the psychedelic/entheogenic/spiritual root of the Iboga shrub as its sacrament.

Locals generally like Americans (us), much more than the French (Gabon is a former French colony).  An electronic translator, a Kwikpoint picture card and the eagerness of those who knew English to practice made getting around suprisingly easy (we know little French, the national language).  Our travels stayed close to the route of the Transgabonaise Train, which bisects the country.

We splurged and spent some time in jungle camps.  At the Langouie camp, we spent 36 hours in a platform overlooking a waterhole.  We heard hundreds of grey parrots at sunrise and sunset.  Game we spotted included a black cobra in the branches of adjacent trees (30 feet off the ground), forest elephants, sunnitunga, duikers, a herd of 32 river hogs, and 2 silverback gorillas!  In a few years, a top end luxury resort will be built there; only the rich will have a greatly diminished experience of what we lived.  At the next jungle camp, I spoke of my dream of obtaining an Iboga initiation.  Their female African cook, who has eaten Iboga, had tracker guides ask local villages.  An initiaiton was arranged, for a cost of $400 US plus a number of things (bolts of cloth, whiskey, cases of Fanta and beer, candles, etc), plus stuff they nicked me for later (sacrificial chicken, etc) which totaled an additional $100 US.  The lodge provided us with an incredible amount of time and transportation, for which we only paid gas.  It wouldn’t have been possible without their largesse.

None of the locals spoke much in the way of English, which complicated things; you must be able to communicate visions and participate knowingly in some of the ceremonies.  Luck again shone down on us and a tracker who spoke good English with an Oxford accent had days off coming up and was willing to hire on as a translator.  It turned out he had a grandfather living in the village.  The villagers believed the Bwiti had led me to Africa so that he would make his first visit to them, and decide to undergo his own initiation (which I’ll help pay for as he has a wife and 2 children, and simply doesn’t have much money).

The village we went to was small and rustic.  Rustic indeed, to the point of no electricity, no running water, and of course no septic system.  The only store sold little in the way of food, save oatmeal and cans of franks and beans.  Iboga killed my appetite, so this was no problem for me, but my sainted girlfriend refuses to eat bush meat for environmental reasons.  She turned down day-old unrefrigerated fish covered with ants and was on the oatmeal/beans diet for days.  The only vehicle in the village was up on blocks with wheels off.  Of course, the nearest substandard medical care was days away, in Libreville or Franceville.

The initial consultation and ceremony spanned 4 days, and this was rushed for Westerners.  I got VERY lucky, as my Bwiti father is chief of the village and in his 70’s, with the apt name Bebe Gentile (gentle baby).  We stored packs and slept in his place (it was later explained to us we didn’t have to worry about theft as anybody who steals from a chief can be put to death).

I started out drinking a gallon of emetic they’d brewed up.  I must have vomited to my core 30 times.  A handful of villagers watched the spectacle from 40 feet away, curious if the white guy would go through with it.   I gave them a High 5 every time my head came out of the bucket.  They’d laugh in approval as I continued chugging.  Contents of the bucket were carefully examined after I was done.  The signs were favorable to continue.

I will not go much into deails of the ceremony.  To get much more than I remember of similar ceremonies follow this Google “Bwiti Iboga Initiation” (  http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Bwiti+iboga+initiation ).   Because I don’t speak French or the local dialect, I can never do it justice.  Perhaps it could be compared to hearing high mass in Latin at the Cistine Chapel on Christmas Day (which deeply moved even the iconclastic 1930’s athiest HL Mencken).  They were following a formula steeping in millenia of majic, with controlled and predictable scientific outcomes.  The translator aprised me of what was going on when my participation was crucial.  Large amounts of time were spent in trusting bewilderment.  My Bwiti father  told me to listen carefully to what was going on, and the Bwiti would translate for me.  Damned if it didn’t happen.  There were times the absolute intent and meaning of the truth going on was completely understood and apparent.  I, and others, would nod and say “Bah-see” (it is true).

During my ritual bath and cleansing no bad signs had appeared; it was explained not to worry– they weren’t going to kill me; they’d get in trouble if a white man died!  I was later given the root shavings of boiled Iboga root to eat.  Already in altered consciousness from ceremony and emetic, I’d estimate a cup and half of shavings were reserved for me.  With eerily transporting M’gongo mouth harp music going on constantly, guides made marble sized compressed portions of the root for me to thoroughly chew and swallow. The first one wasn’t didn’t taste as bad as I’d heard.  Further volleys became increasingly terrible.  The root has a novacaine effect which deadens taste buds somewhat.  You’ve got to keep chewing and swallowing.  Daniel Pinchbeck writes in his book _Breaking Open the Head_ that he couldn’t stomach this vile taste and his initiators were forced to give him Iboga tea to drink.  This is an unfortunate shame.  The initiate needs a knockdown dose which you only get by eating and retching uncontrollably.  You have to die to live again. I got the knockdown dose.  They really wanted me to “see”.

Dressed in a loincloth with civit cat skin hanging over my genital area, with crossed bandoliers of ivy-like leaves and with a red headband which had a knot with a red parrot feather sticking out of my third eye area, I sat into the temple and was instructed to stare into a mirror on the ground in front of me.  I made it through all of the Iboga, save about 1/4 cup, which was later divided between a woman and the 10 year old son of my initiator.

What are the effects of the drug, Iboga, you ask?  In this setting, it was a synthesis of the majic, fatigue, drumming, dancing, fire, and the sacrament (taken in a sacramental way).  The synthetic derivative Ibogaine is only one of many psychoactive compounds in Iboga.  Unlike alcohol or any drugs you’ve experienced, you don’t do a threshold dose or above and “get off”…  You have to accept the Iboga, and work with it.

The Bwiti (supreme being, spirit of the rainforest, lens you can use to see divinity) appeared to me in a deep voice, saying, “I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”  I was too smart to ask how and when I’ll die, but will relay a small portion of the visions and lessons to you.
Q.  Why did I have to come to Africa to meet you?
A.  I’m talking to you all the time; if you could see infared, I’d be talking to you in infared.
My white brother’s face appeared in place of my black Bwiti father’s head.  After watching this for a while, my brother smiled at me, waved goodbye, and my Bwiti father’s head reappeared.
Western voices incessantly calling my name from the periphery would distract me and I’d look to the side, seeing nothing.  I later ignored them and they disappeared.  The lesson was clear:  Always ignore distractions to your spiritual path.
I was instructed to always describe my vision.  When I said I saw a Faberge Egg, a jewel encrusted egg, I was told to go into it.  When I attempted this, it disappeared.  This happened with many visions.
I asked the Bwiti, who was singing lessons thru the constanly played M’gongo mouth harp, what the Bwiti version of the afterlife is.  The Bwiti said, “So you’re afraid of nonexistence?”.  Looking into the mirror, I could then see that my head was severed.  No blood was flowing out.  My head floated above a 2 inch space on my neck.  I could see the wall behind me through the gap.  The Bwiti then said, “So now you’re dead; what’s the difference?”.  My spirit was still intact.  This proved to me the Bwiti has a an enigmatic sense of humor.  Also, you’re only given the knowledge you’re ready to receive…
A vision of a streetcorner in the New Orleans night…  When asked if I saw anything else, I answered truthfully that I saw a couple having HOT sex.  The temple erupted into laughter when this was tranlated for them.
I relived a number of interactions I’d had with people, impartially looking at myself.  It was surprising that the incidents I reviewed were not the history my mind normally “dwells” on.  I found I’m a nice guy who tries to be decent and fair.  This would have been hell if I was George W Bush, Jr.!
A number of other visions appeared to me, but were fragmented and transitory.  I’m certain with future Iboga sessions I’d learn to develop these.  The trick to not seek them out with your conscious mind; you have to culture the laid-back African attitude and not grasp as visions unfold.

Men often checked my pulse and bent my limbs for inspection.  After the “rubber legs” stage had passed, I was occasionally instructed to dance.  While dancing, I could feel fatigue lapse as the Bwiti spirit again filled me.
The initiator killed a chicken by plunging a red parrot feather into it’s head and moving  the base around and around.  It was demonstrated that the chicken’s head, neck and wings were limp.  The symbolism that my headband also had a red parrot feather sticking out of it wasn’t lost.  This whole ceremony is about dying and being born again.  He danced with the chicken and sang.  After 5 minutes or so, it came back to life for a few minutes!, and was later sacrificially cooked and eaten.  I slithered like a snake, I BECAME a snake, and ate 3 balls of cassava with chicken inside them.

At the night’s end, I was brought outside the temple entrance and introduced to the people (many of whom had walked in from distant villages for the white guy’s ceremony) as having successfully gone through the initiation.

Next day, I was kept in the temple, still separated from my girlfriend.   Shifts of men watched me at all times.  I was never allowed to sleep on my back (perhaps due to the danger of drowning in vomit if I got nauseus).  I also suspect I was watched for majic reasons; I had a feeling vulnerability and fragility; after all, I’d just been reborn.  Watching chickens roaming through the temple came to have a homey feel.

On the fourth day, I was given a ritual bath by the men and went through more casual relaxed ceremonies.  My Bwiti father told me with relief it had made it much easier that I had so few problems for him to work on.  After eating meat and gristle from what was left of the chicken head, I was informed it would be wrapped up and left in the forest.  If I was ever to make a very bad decision, the chicken head would talk to my Bwiti father about it, and he would contact me to say, “Don’t do what you’re contemplating.”  When I asked for an example of a bad decision, I was told it might be something like joining a strange religion.  I was also told that the Bwiti was now inside me, and if I ever wanted to get rid of it they could perform a ceremony to do this, but that I would have to return to the village in person.  I was also told that job problems I’d asked them to work on had changed (this has turned out to be the case; part of the change is my internal attitude; I have a more laidback  response to crazy management).

Hmmmmmmmm…    I don’t want the Bwiti to ever leave me.  In Libreville shortly before leaving, we had the luck to witness another Bwiti initiation, filmed by National Geographic.  The Bwiti rose up in me (with no Iboga ingestion) and instructed through the music my spiritual path at home, Tantra, dovetails perfectly with Bwiti.  Sexual energy in lower chakras was cultivated and transmuted into Kundalini consciousness.  Another lesson was that Iboga is not a quick majic bullet for addictions, and that very few others would have the easy access to the places I’d lucked onto.  For those of you interested in travelling to Gabon for Bwiti initiation, I HIGHLY recommend lining up things before arrival.  Two weeks should be budgeted for the initiation itself (6 to 8 weeks if you’re dealing with a difficult problem like addiction); a traditional two week vacation is insufficient.  I HIGHLY recomment using the French expatriate facilitator, Huges Poitevin, as a facilitator for initiations.  His orgainization is called “Ebando”, and it’s translated web site can be found at:  http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.f-i-a.org%2Febando%2F&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&prev=%2Flanguage_tools .  The French version is at:  http://www.f-i-a.org/ebando .

Anyone who wishes to correspond with me about this should first write a letter including your questions, return address and email (I’m not including my email address so that spambots can’t ferret out my location).

Happy Trails!

Hi Howard,

This year had been a watershed year in a long crack addiction.  Burnt out on NA and 12 step impatients and outpatients, I basically just surrendered..to my addiction.  So disgusted with my life, I took eighty from NY to San Fran with one day pereperation.  I had a good union gig, not one i liked much..burt really well paying.  I put ton for a leave of absence..and took off.

As some of my previous posts explained I spent the entire month of May homeless and strung out in SF.  I had first started using H ease the crack crash, and then fellin love with it..especially speedballs.

Anyway,,,press ahead.  I take a Greyhound back to NY, my partner of seven years finally have me the final have ho, and…my parents took me in.  I went back to work,
but kept getting high.

I detoxed off of everything in June, which is when I found this list.  I stated harm reduction therapy.  An angel hooked me up with the amazing ibo underground…
I really wanted to stay clean..but used dope again mid July…had been chipping to point of my treatment.   The last time I used previously to treatment was last Saturday…so I went into the experience entirely clean for six days.

Long answer to a short question….can’t seem to brief on the second day!

Listening to African and world beat..watching the rain, reflceting….it’s all good right now.

Pax,
Sean

Hi Preston,

Glad you made it throught the ibo and your feeling GREAT.  I also like the intro to your book.  Why does the big govenrnment (CIA) bring it in and then have the small government (cops) bust people for using it?  If they didn’t bust them they would use more and thus the big cops would have more money, peoples lives would not be shattered (going to jail for six months can cost your home, car, furniture, clothes, job, etc), taxpayers would not have to spend $30,000 or so to keep a drug user locked up.  Hell, I don’t know.  You bring up some very valid points that few people know.  I know that you know the news on TV is just the news they want you to hear.  The person, Peter Jennings, Tom Brocroft or whoever just reads the news.  They read what they are told, that’s their job.

Anyway, your using less pain meds and are getting the same results.  I am very glad to hear that.  I think sooner or later you might have a problem.  Using for as long as you have and as much as you have, it is hard to quit.  Specially when your in a lot of pain.  I don’t know what to do if it were me.  Besides H dillies were my favorite but after a while they no longer work.  Pretend you are someone else that knows you and your situation and he says to you “Do you think I can keep some of the dillies and MS, use a normal amount and not get hooked”, what would your answer to him be?  I don’t know what the answer is because when I was talking about going on bupe, I may be able to quit using but what about the pain I am in?  While two ms-contin and two dillies is light by our standards it is a bitch it quit.  I went through hell when I was only taking 4 Tylenols #4 per day.

I don’t even know if you have the slightest idea what I am trying to say.  If you do, good.  If not be careful that you don’t go the little bit more, just one more pill trip.  Yea, I been there, done that and not bragging.  I hope you live happily ever after.  If you don’t know what I am saying forgetabout.

Take care good buddy,

– JIM

Hi all, I’m going to be sounding out some stuff here that is preoccupying my
mind and giving me some level of stress, so please bear with me.
So, as noted earlier I’ve noticed real changes in how I’m dealing with
pain post ibo.
At first, I got really wacked, being locked into the bed basically in
agony. But as noted, once able to actually get and take something for the
pain, it was an incredible relief and easy to stick to just prescribed
doses.
Then I took a booster most recently, which seemed to further allow me to
examine what is going on with my pain, and how I react to it when it becomes
severe. But the booster wasn’t enough I felt. I “felt” it, but My reasons
for taking the ibogaine really do not have a lot to do with tripping and
feeling high- it’s to lie down quietly and examine things- which was not the
case exactly with the booster-it was helpful in realigning me a bit, but
again, it wasn’t enough. It didn’t do exactly what I’d been hoping.
I have been planning very seriously and with a very clear head, as again
noted earlier, on doing another treatment very soon, in a legal place this
time so as to be sure everything is kosher and stress free.
Partly I would like to go again for psycho-spiritual reasons, but there
is a lot more to this than simply “going again.”
I turn 38 on Sept 11.
I pick up the final installment of my book advance next week, which I’m
planning on using to facilitate the treatment- money which I will not have
in the future, and money that is coming from something very special, hence
my decision to spend it all on another treatment.
I feel like there are things that I began to deal with first time
around, but wasn’t able to completely focus on or even totally remember due
to being completely shattered first time round. By going again, right away,
I feel as though I would be more able to focus on my integrating and further
learn and examine, and MAKE DECISIONS about my pain issues.
See, I want to go again BEFORE I SEE MY PAIN DOC, an appointment which
is scheduled for a little under 2 weeks, because when I do see him, I will
be picking up dilaudids along with more ms-contins- or not, as the case may
be. I DO NOT KNOW YET. I’m a bit worried about this. See, At the moment, 2
ms-contins a day are working, but I’m still having to crush them to get the
relief right away because otherwise the trickle of relief time-release
morphine gives doesn’t hit the pain very well at all, even now after a
session of ibogaine. It works great crushed, but eating them whole, well,
they suck.
But what if I don’t NEED dilaudid after all? What if I could actually
stick to just what I have now, and use only those, or simply cut my dilaudid
dose down from the 12-a-day it has been at for over a year to 2 or 3 a day?
Because while the ms-contins are strictly for pain management, in my case,
dilaudids are the candy, the treat, the shit I can melt and suck up into a
syringe and stick straight in my vein besides simply being great for
breakthrough pain. I like to get high on them too, very very much. I don’t
want to go that route again- and want to do another session BEFORE I SEE THE
PAIN DOCTOR to try and cement that feeling, that desire, that decision.
Because I LOVE shooting dilaudids- hell, I love shooting up period.
Because, the way I’m looking at this is, if from one time around I’m
getting the reactions inside that I am, how much better, or at least, how
much MORE concrete strength will I be able to take from a second session? I
think I will get a lot of good, and nothing bad, from doing this. I honestly
feel that it will be nothing but beneficial to me to do this, even though at
first I stated how I was unable to see how anyone could want to do this
stuff twice.
It must seem like I’m making a rush decision, but I’ve been thinking
very hard about this, and know what I want, and that is to go under/through
again, and do some self-examinations for real, in a darkened space without
the distractions of NYC streets and such. I want to use it for real medical
and some spiritual reasons too, and besides the pain issues, I’m plenty
healthy enough to do so. I don’t want to wait- I have the time, the
opportunity, the money, the desire, and so, well, the time is simply right.
I don’t know how it is for others, especially pain patients, but I DO
know for a fact that we are not all made to fit the same mold. For some,
waiting a year between a first and second session, or even just a few
months, might be a great idea and just dandy, but knowing myself as I do,
knowing how I feel both mentally and physically, I don’t want to wait even 3
months. So, if things work out I’ll be out of the country in 9 days, and
will be able to come back and face my pain doctor with a head and heart full
of ibogaine and really get this straight in my own head.
BTW, I thought I might be seeing trails still this evening, but that
seems to have stopped now.
So, I guess I’m venting here a little bit, because I’m a little worried
things might not work out. Please all, keep your fingers crossed that things
work out as I’d like them to. (Gosh, guess we all want that for ourselves
huh.) V feels it is a good idea, and is totally supportive of my doing this
again-particularly before going to see my doctor again- which is going to be
necessary as I’ll be just about running out of meds by that already
scheduled appointment. A few others I have spoken with also feel that my
doing this is a good idea- or at least not a bad idea, that I of all I know,
know myself. Then there are a few others who seem to feel that waiting is a
good idea. Maybe for some people that’s the case, but, well I’m starting to
repeat myself.
I’ll read whatever feedback comes through, and hope for the best.
Peace and love to you all,

Good to hear your session all planned and set to happen.  I made much more use of this list than I ever had in the days before my treatment..and looking at the ibo world on the web.  I looked at the pictures of the tribal rites which link off the minvox site.
Wanted to just have some imagery in my mind pre ibo..helped relieve the anxiety of yes am really going threw whit this..it’s really going to happen.

Hello all,

I am still not 48 hours after treatment.  I took my tester at 9:00am yesterday…
The first visual I remember was a bear poised to attack me, but I laughed at and it disappeared…By 9:45 I was beginning the full dose.  The closed eye hallucinations got really wild..lots of women’s faces with different retro looks..fifties, sixties hairstyles.  I saw vast vistas, valleys, mists. birds..alot of birds.

Eventually is was so deeply under that I was able to just really let go..And let me tell you by 2:30 I was in the deepest darkest recesses of my mind.  I’m not sure if I’m ready to post some of this content, maybe after my therapy session on Thursday. But anyway I just was in this place of sitting and looking at myself at my worst…The experience that I regret the most while using heroin just kept playing and feeling..with a deep feeling of self disgust and regret.  I was vaguely ware of that if I moved an inch, I would throw up…all I could do was sit in it.  In the dark reassesses of my being.

I know this sounds weird, because I really could not believe it happened heard my own voice very loudly and clearly saying…I am not using drugs anymore….I went in and out the dark place for hours after…

By 11:00pm I was laying on my side..after spending all day on my back.  I got up to use the bathroom..then got back into bed thinking “I’m not so high anymore.” Wrong!
I turned over fast in bed…and I though ”oh shit..mistake..and really violently vomited. It was a really horrific vomit….my stomach seemed determined to puke up any residual ibo..and boy did it.  I tasted the root itself I think in the vomit..it don’t taste good I tell you.

After thowing up..my head cleared quite a bit for alittle while.  I laid in bed..dozing in and out of sleep.

I really am so grateful to my parents who were my sitters for the session.  They really struck a good balance of checking in and giving me space.

Woke got up today..ate a friutcup..looked out the iwndow..reflected…Will post agin soon.

Thanks for listening to all this..

Pax,
Sean

PS I have no tracers today..color however seems much sharper. ..Green is really really green….etc…more vibrant,,,I think I will eat some cantaloupe bye.

Nick Sandberg

Foreword by Karl Naeher

Of all the people looking for an Eboga treatment, Lee was the only one
coming over by ship and from Greece at that. This triggered two flashes of
thought in me: Ulysses, the man who, after a long and arduous journey,
finally found his way back to his island and to love; and the Eleusi, the
2,000-year-old Greek temple where seekers were initiated into the secrets of
the divine by a magic and psychedelic drink called kykeon.
Meeting Lee for the first time in the harbor of Venice, I encountered an
intelligent businessman who was “washed with all seven seas,” instinctively
sizing you up to put some useful labels on you, which wasn’t difficult for
someone who had gone through years of psychotherapy.
On his healing journey, Lee embarked on a ship that cannot be appreciated by
everybody. His journey gave him access to the knowledge necessary to master
one’s life in peace and love. It also healed many wounds. In the manner of
ancient traditions, the revelations came in the form of a symbolic language,
not always easy to decipher.
This journey is an invaluable contribution to show a relatively fast and
exciting way to cross the wavy sea of our troubled souls and to find our way
back home, where love awaits us. However, it cannot be described as a
pleasure cruise. It took Lee six years of persistent adherence and trust in
the way of Eboga to fully comprehend and arrive close to the end of his
Process. Pain was part of that journey. During these years of persistent
adherence and trust in the way of Eboga, Lee charted the waters of the
Process to give us useful hints as to how to proceed successfully and what
to expect with Eboga and ibogaine. He built a bridge between an ancient
African initiatory rite of passage and a modern everyday world. His life
story is a living example of how Eboga can change one’s life for the “Good.”
Like Lee himself, the reader is called to participate in the exciting search
for meaning in the otherworldly scenes and beings that appear during his
voyages with Eboga. To render the ephemeral appearances of these beings
useful as a guide in life was and still is, an enormous challenge for Lee
and for anyone willing to go beyond the barren ground of “modern
psychology.” It is an endeavor to give birth to a new language to encompass
the vast origin of the psyche as opposed to scientific endeavors to isolate
it out from the whole and analyze it as a separate entity. What language
allows us to reconcile the Logos with the deep, ineffable experiences of the
soul, our need for creativity and love, our “inner child,” as Lee calls it?
This book – and the books that follow – mark a departure for a new way to a
suffering humanity, integrating many old traditions with modern
psychological insight.

Foreword by Lee Albert

Nothing remains the same.

Eboga has been known to the Pygmies of the Rift Valley for  more than 20,000
years and in the past 300 years it has played a central role in the Bwiti
religion of West Central Africa. It is a “deeply” spiritual plant. Its
spirit is carried by a serpent. This book refers to the use of the eboga
plant and, in particular, the principal alkaloid of this plant, ibogaine, in
what I call “The Eboga Process” (TM) or, simply put, “The Process.” The
“Session” is at the heart of the Process.
Eboga is not a Bwiti religion, nor is it a Pygmy religion. Eboga is an
“African Spirituality,” which means it draws its energy and resources from
the cradle of human life, Africa. “Eboga Spirituality” in a Western context
expresses itself in a deepening respect for the Earth, the community, the
ancestors, one’s parents and, in particular, oneself and one’s family. Eboga
is the circle of life that brings you directly in contact with your heart,
your soul and the ones you love. It is a way to God.
The purpose of Eboga spirituality is not about being “holier than thou” nor
is it about blind faith. It is about being “real” and in that reality
discover and connect to one’s place within the greater scheme of things,
drawing one’s source from a higher consciousness. Throughout the book I make
reference to eboga and Eboga. The first usage refers to the plant itself.
The second usage refers to its spirituality.
Eboga can also be thought of as an African natural healing medicine. In that
sense Eboga is a dynamic healing system dependent on the innermost state of
the individual, i.e., its actions cannot be predicted other than in a
general way. With time it mends and heals each broken part, finally
polishing the whole. It leads to emotional health and physical well-being
and a profound connection to life and God in an ever connecting continuum
which brings us deeply into our soul. Needless to say, it is also a teaching
plant.
Eboga can also be described as a non-addiction therapy.
An Eboga experience initially targets the physical addictions of the body
and arrives naturally at the subconscious where all that we seek to avoid,
expressed in our addictions, is revealed and healed in time. This however
requires the unseating of the ego as the ego blocks our true state of mind –
see later, The Eboga Process, chapter 1. This opens the door to what lies
repressed and the healing begins. The success of the healing depends on the
power of Eboga (expressed in dosage) and the willingness of the person to
confront their true self. This willingness is manifested through intention.
Thus, when one is ready, little by little Eboga shows us each wound, having
used its power to free it from a trapped state. At the same time a release
of the trapped emotional and spiritual toxins linked to the wound takes
place. Eboga then helps us understand the meaning of the wound (which has
been partly or fully exposed) before it cleans and dresses it, i.e.,
envelops it in an emotional bandage. The rest is left to mother nature, time
and divine coincidence to bring about the associated emotional connection
and mental acceptance we normally experience in the final stages of healing.
Like a flesh wound, an emotional wound needs time once it has been treated
by Eboga, i.e., a period of integration is required.
The next phase within an Eboga session involves the reeducation of the ego
to a more holistic way of thinking. Afterwards, in this new state, with the
passage of time and right intention, the ego shifts it allegiance from a
purely animalistic relationship to the material world, to a relationship
with the soul and its alternate form of “gratification” – a state where our
true choices are made manifest, as these choices are the choices of the true
mind, the soul. Eboga thus liberates the soul and aligns the ego to its
wishes. Without this alignment we inevitably become corrupted by power and
money as that is the way of the purely animalistic mind that seeks to avoid
a troubled soul.
Ibogaine, the principal alkaloid of the eboga plant is, I believe,
synonymous with eboga as it is the principal and, to my mind, “the” healing
component of the eboga plant. I believe that is how it was meant to be in
order that it could play a major role in this stage of man’s evolution
within a Western scientific model. More recently ibogaine has been
recognized for its properties in the elimination of physical drug
dependence. This is only a drop in the pond of its history, as its deeper
meaning is not yet properly understood here in the West. The focus on drug
addiction and the preoccupation with the safety of ibogaine means that its
full spiritual life cycle and action, i.e., the Process, are not properly
understood. The reason for this is that complete healing requires an ongoing
Process that, in my case, has lasted for nearly six years, with the end or,
should I say, the beginning now very clearly in sight. The ibogaine drug
treatment community is mostly preoccupied with the starting posts. I have
personally gone to the far reaches of the Eboga experience. My writings are
focused on this second part, while paying tribute to the worthwhile and
extremely important work done within the drug community in understanding the
safety aspects of the first part.
My writings are therefore written within the context of safe, present-day
use of ibogaine within the Process, following the medical guidelines as
developed over the past number of years. (These guidelines are based on
ibogaine, which is a major reason why I chose to work with eboga in this
form only.)  My use of ibogaine in this regard has been and is based on
personal decision and responsible action. Anyone considering its use must
also act in this way. Ultimately it is a personal decision and the
responsibility begins and ends there. My perspective has been to interpret
my experiences firsthand from the viewpoint of a rational Western scientist
open to all possibilities. I see no reason whatsoever to introduce a lot of
religious doctrine and regulations that do nothing but confuse the person
undergoing treatment. It is a journey to the heart and there you will find
everything you need to know. What counts is that your heart is renewed,
healed and in harmony with the One, the All.
Eboga is probably the most sacred substance known to man. Ibogaine, its
principle alkaloid, is a humble salt that, like all things humble, contains
greatness. I have nothing but respect for it. I believe that, once the fuss
over the use of ibogaine for the treatment of drug addiction passes, it will
finally be seen for what it is, a sacred sacrament for man’s benefit on his
path to self and union with all. For this reason I hope in time, people will
come forward, who have been healed by Eboga, to administer it without
seeking payment – gifts being acceptable. The real payment belongs to the
spiritual entities that help us and the person taking the eboga.
For this reason it is my fervent wish to shed light on the intensely
spiritual nature of the Process, which is not a recreation but a spiritually
guided process of personal transformation. My understanding has not been
built on any religious framework and has been driven solely by my desire for
wholeness and happiness, my quest for the Holy Grail. I have not
investigated the religious nature of Eboga as practiced in Africa. I have
simply explored the Process as it applied to me. In this way I hope to bring
a fresh, new perspective to the spiritual use of  eboga and ibogaine,
leading to what I call “The Eboga Process towards Personal Transformation,”
i.e. the Eboga Process. I wish to expand the real meaning of the Process to
open the door to those who seek its healing and spiritual powers and as yet
are not aware they exist. Because of this I do not identify myself with the
ibogaine community, as its aims and many of its ideas do not accord with my
own. I identify with a different and what I see as an emerging agenda of
real personal liberation and full self-actualization. I have no doubt that
this is possible if the attitude and intention of the seeker are true. In
this regard the Grail myth has a lot to teach us if we have ears to listen.
Thus, this book has not been written to promote ibogaine use as such. It
just so happens that ibogaine is integral to the Process; but no one should
be in the Process unless they really seek it out. Tourists are usually
suffered, but most likely ignored, i.e., intention is the main engine for
change in the Process – without it, change is unlikely. Clearly, under no
circumstances should anyone undergo the Process who is not accompanied by a
knowledgeable guide whose role it is to ensure the user’s safety and
comfort, nothing more, nothing less. If taken incorrectly, it can lead to
death. If taken correctly, it can lead to a new destination in life in the
same way a modern airplane takes many to new and unexplored places.
To say, as one critic has who warned against publication of my work, that
ibogaine is an experimental medication used to treat drug addiction and that
the author is advising its use for a purpose other than its originally
intended use, is very misleading. Its actual use (in the form of the whole
eboga plant, of which it is the main constituent) for more than 20,000 years
among the Pygmies and the last 300 years among the Bwiti of West Central
Africa, is for spiritual renewal and initiation. Its recent use in the past
30 years in the West has been simply an awareness of the fact that it could
also cure drug addiction.
The same critic also says my book may encourage the recreational drug use of
ibogaine. In light of what I have written, I take this criticism to be
uninformed and thus reactionary. How can a substance that causes an
elimination of the desire to take drugs encourage drug use itself? Have the
scientists got something wrong? I am surprised this critic did not see the
irony in this statement; or was this critic threatened by what my writings
revealed?
For the record: I write this book as I am entitled to write about my
experiences in any democratic society. I have the vote (for what its worth)
and simply seek to share my experiences to add to the human body of
knowledge. In no way, shape, or form do I seek to encourage the recreational
use of ibogaine. In fact, the words “recreational” and “ibogaine” are polar
opposites and anyone who carefully reads my experience will draw the same
conclusion. It is an intense encounter with oneself and one’s demons and not
the kind of experience recreational drug users seek. Recreational drug users
seek to avoid their past, not to face it. Ibogaine is of no “earthly” use to
them in that pursuit. Ibogaine, with its inherent risks, has no place on
anyone’s list of recreational drugs. If someone decides to run out and take
eboga or ibogaine I do not accept responsibility for the outcome.
Information about ibogaine has long been available within the drug
community. This is simply my story and my understanding. What anyone chooses
to do is ultimately their responsibility. Laziness is not an excuse for
being misinformed.
In this regard, however, it is accepted by many that ibogaine is relatively
safe once the guidelines are followed. It is very powerful and thus, like
anything powerful, if handled incorrectly, can be very dangerous, in fact
lethal. Like all substances, there are specific conditions for its use.
These conditions have been outlined on the principal Web site for drug
addiction treatment, www.ibogaine.org, where a comprehensive manual is
available, mostly designed for the treatment of drug addiction. There are
also specific dose ranges and specific preconditions for its use. The most
important of which is to be of sound heart and relatively good health (good
liver function), as the experience is physically demanding, i.e., not
everyone is physically capable of taking it. It also causes a lowering of
blood pressure. Ironically, from the spiritual viewpoint of its use, which
my writings are mostly concerned with, the best results are also obtained
with those of sound heart but in the emotional sense. Given that it is a
totally internal experience, these guidelines are equally valid for
spiritual use as they simply seek to ensure the safety of the user.
In time, I hope to record my growing understanding of the subject of eboga,
spirituality and healing, for which I have created the trademark “The Eboga
Process” (TM) to protect its integrity, into its own book. For now I have
included a number of the principles of the Eboga Process in the latter part
of this book and refer to “The Process” throughout. I have also included the
corresponding safety information. However, conscious of the reactionary
criticism I have received, I have decided at this stage to leave out my
recommendations regarding actual dosage. In any case, this information
simply seeks to enhance the understanding of the factors involved and should
not to be considered as a do-it-yourself self-help guide. An experienced
facilitator is highly recommended, if not vital.
As my healing has deepened, my eyes have opened and I intend to write about
what I have learned on each stage of my journey toward wholeness, the stages
of healing, my understanding of pain and finally the real possibility of
everlasting joy and peace, the Holy Grail. You could say I have become an
investigative healing journalist who has actually experienced real, deep and
tangible healing, much like a journalist recounts the effects and stages of
war and peace, having been there.
You may ask yourself why I did not undergo this process many years earlier.
The answer is two-fold. Firstly, I did not know about it. Secondly, I have
always had a fear of mind-altering substances and chemicals in my body. I
rarely take pharmaceuticals. I see such things as poison to the body. I
never take aspirin. I see cigarettes as the devil’s own invention. I also
have a keen interest in fitness and well-being. But I guess the real reason
is that I had my path to follow and, if I was not aware of it, my soul was.
I would not know what I now know had I not needed to take eboga in order to
save my own life. If what I now know saves the lives of others, then what I
went through will have been worth it.
The Process will draw interest from genuine spiritual seekers and from the
countless millions suffering from trauma and pain. If handled correctly and
in the right frame of mind, it can go all the way to advancing one’s
spirituality (grounded in one’s sexuality) and lead to a complete remission
of psychological trauma.
We are on the edge of a great shift of consciousness. The Eboga Process is
but one way. There are others. The end point of such a journey is a mending
of the split between our nature and our spirit,  the return of the divine
feminine, which is the quest for the Holy Grail.

Front Flap

“Eboga Spirituality” in a Western context expresses itself in a deepening
respect for the earth, the community, the ancestors, ones parents and in
particular oneself and ones family. Eboga is the circle of life that brings
you directly in contact with your heart, your soul, and the ones you love.
It draws its energy and resources from the cradle of life and is therefore
an African spirituality. It is a way to God. It’s spirit is carried by a
serpent.

Back Flap

The journey to wholeness is the development of perfect harmony between
nature and spirit. Man’s perfected nature is an intelligent and
compassionate being which acts holistically when it is in perfect balance
with its spirit. That is the Holy Grail Quest and it requires that the
individual have faith in their own life experience. Hence, the Western world
’s accent on the individual is probably the greatest and most important
hallmark of  Western culture today.

Text for back cover:

“He was chosen meekly to die an inner death but had one gift hidden in his
meek voice, the gift of editing to starkness the quest that had entombed his
captured soul. Now the world can hear this child’s plea as he brings to life
the Holy Grail Quest.”

Born into a culture of sexual ignorance and denial, he is unable to realize
his deepest dreams due to inexplicable fears and a deep sense of shame. His
life however is held together by a sense of the divine experience, born from
a love of singing. He is driven to succeed and travels through 36 countries
over 21 years. Eventually realizing he is a captive prisoner he turns for
help to a little know African plant. He then watches in horror as his soul
releases itself and begins a journey of reclamation.

We see through the author’s naked self the underlying factors which give
rise to modern Ireland as he struggles and ultimately succeeds to free
himself from their chains – the Irish psyche and its history are laid bare.

This, the first of three books, paves the way for an eclectic look at
spirituality in the modern world in the context of African Spirituality,
Western History and the banished Child within and offers a powerfully
effective “old” way adapted to the 21st century to heal the hurt and pain
that lies in all of us.

Preston,

Don’t know if you are familiar with Uwe Maas and Süster Strubelt’s page on
Bwiti music and iboga.  Maas and Strubelt propose that music changes
phramacology.  Sounds good.  There are also so interesting Bwiti mp3 clips on the page.
Music in the Iboga initiation ceremony in Gabon: Polyrhythms supporting a
pharmacotherapy.

The page also contains great images.

At first when dusk first settled in last night, I felt like I might once

again be seeing trails, but it quickly faded away.

Then I went out to the Slipper Room very late, at around 1:30AM or so,

where V dj’s every Saturday. I still wasn’t trippy really at all, UNTIL I

took over on the cd decks- boy oh boy there is really something magical

about music, that I know but always seem to forget if I’m not careful, and

it sets me right the heck off.

I was full on seeing designs and trails again, off things like curtains

on stage, and off dancing drunk maniacs (in the good sense of that word). I

also felt happier and constructive simply playing and mixing.

I had a lurch in my great, golden mood last night, and threw myself into

a real funk about it. My initial reaction was to think, “ok, where the hell

did V put my morphine,” but amazingly, and I know it’s only been a few days

so everything is still fresh and new and seems as though it should at least

be easier, I did NOT go lookin’ for the bottle, I got dressed, did my makeup

and such, and got the hell out of the apartment instead and did something

focused and positive instead of retreating and withdrawing into that state

of “I don’t wanna feel anything at all” that I usually am so ready to

retreat to.

And it was a great idea to do so, to get the heck out and interact with

other people and with my music.

Really, I am reacting and thinking very differently, but still, I’m

feeling still nervous about the whole pain meds thing.

You asked me Curtis, why I don’t just stay away from the dilaudids entirely.

The problem is that while the ms-contins are great, crushed, for hitting the

pain within an hour of taking them, if I were to take them whole, they eek

out relief over the whole 12 hours way too slowly to help me deal with the

pain. So I’d like the option of being able to eat a dilaudid when I

absultely need immediate-ish relief and then take the ms-contins on

schedule, uncrushed and as ordered.

Things seem to be working out.

I’m in a good space today.

V wrote me the wisest most beautiful mail this morning after I went to

bed, encouraging me and letting me know how happy she herself is with the

way things are progressing, that she fully supports another session and no

Preston how are you doing bro? I didn’t get the

chance to feel that big reset that you’re talking

about I was already clean for a long time before

I ever did ibo for the first time. I didn’t even

know what it was until I found this list and

even that was by accident when I was searching

through old domains and seeing what happened to

phantom and it led here 🙂

Between what you, Patrick and Dave and whoever

I forgot have said, ibogaine is doing a reset

on you even if you do much more drugs before

it instead of doing less, which I what I thought.

How are you doing right now a few days out of it?

Patrick, I really like the Keeping Clean section,

it keeps growing and you never post any updates 😉

What am I saying, that would ruin the charm of

this place 😉 One thing I would say to you bro

is that you’re printing some of Stanton Peels

articles, he sues people for doing that. If you

look at his site there is a 5 paragraph long

legal warning at the bottom of every page you

may want to include something else even if I

really like what he has to say.

Love the treatment section 🙂

Preston why not stay away from the dils if you

know they are what lead you to trouble and stick

with the oxy?

Peace out

Thanks Julian,
Yes, it’s a good idea and will do even more wonders I’m sure, in some
ways and others too.
Peace and love to all, and to Sean, who we will hopefully be hearing good

Regarding doing another session this soon, I would say it is fine. The
problem I see is you are not secure and confident about it. You seem to be
wondering Preston IF it is a good idea. Of course it is a good idea IF you
believe it to be beneficial. It doesn’t seem to me that you do. I think you
need to figure this part out first. By the way, I’m doing my session on the
27th. I could have done it on the 20th, but I have other plans for that day.
I think it is with the same provider as you had. Anyway, work out your

Curtis, you asked >How are you doing right now a few days out of it?<

At first when dusk first settled in last night, I felt like I might once
again be seeing trails, but it quickly faded away.
Then I went out to the Slipper Room very late, at around 1:30AM or so,
where V dj’s every Saturday. I still wasn’t trippy really at all, UNTIL I
took over on the cd decks- boy oh boy there is really something magical
about music, that I know but always seem to forget if I’m not careful, and
it sets me right the heck off.
I was full on seeing designs and trails again, off things like curtains
on stage, and off dancing drunk maniacs (in the good sense of that word). I
also felt happier and constructive simply playing and mixing.
I had a lurch in my great, golden mood last night, and threw myself into
a real funk about it. My initial reaction was to think, “ok, where the hell

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

Hi all, I’m going to be sounding out some stuff here that is preoccupying my
mind and giving me some level of stress, so please bear with me.
So, as noted earlier I’ve noticed real changes in how I’m dealing with
pain post ibo.
At first, I got really wacked, being locked into the bed basically in
agony. But as noted, once able to actually get and take something for the
pain, it was an incredible relief and easy to stick to just prescribed
doses.
Then I took a booster most recently, which seemed to further allow me to
examine what is going on with my pain, and how I react to it when it becomes
severe. But the booster wasn’t enough I felt. I “felt” it, but My reasons
for taking the ibogaine really do not have a lot to do with tripping and
feeling high- it’s to lie down quietly and examine things- which was not the
case exactly with the booster-it was helpful in realigning me a bit, but
again, it wasn’t enough. It didn’t do exactly what I’d been hoping.
I have been planning very seriously and with a very clear head, as again
noted earlier, on doing another treatment very soon, in a legal place this
time so as to be sure everything is kosher and stress free.
Partly I would like to go again for psycho-spiritual reasons, but there
is a lot more to this than simply “going again.”
I turn 38 on Sept 11.
I pick up the final installment of my book advance next week, which I’m
planning on using to facilitate the treatment- money which I will not have
in the future, and money that is coming from something very special, hence
my decision to spend it all on another treatment.
I feel like there are things that I began to deal with first time
around, but wasn’t able to completely focus on or even totally remember due
to being completely shattered first time round. By going again, right away,
I feel as though I would be more able to focus on my integrating and further
learn and examine, and MAKE DECISIONS about my pain issues.
See, I want to go again BEFORE I SEE MY PAIN DOC, an appointment which
is scheduled for a little under 2 weeks, because when I do see him, I will
be picking up dilaudids along with more ms-contins- or not, as the case may
be. I DO NOT KNOW YET. I’m a bit worried about this. See, At the moment, 2
ms-contins a day are working, but I’m still having to crush them to get the
relief right away because otherwise the trickle of relief time-release
morphine gives doesn’t hit the pain very well at all, even now after a
session of ibogaine. It works great crushed, but eating them whole, well,
they suck.
But what if I don’t NEED dilaudid after all? What if I could actually
stick to just what I have now, and use only those, or simply cut my dilaudid
dose down from the 12-a-day it has been at for over a year to 2 or 3 a day?
Because while the ms-contins are strictly for pain management, in my case,
dilaudids are the candy, the treat, the shit I can melt and suck up into a
syringe and stick straight in my vein besides simply being great for
breakthrough pain. I like to get high on them too, very very much. I don’t
want to go that route again- and want to do another session BEFORE I SEE THE
PAIN DOCTOR to try and cement that feeling, that desire, that decision.
Because I LOVE shooting dilaudids- hell, I love shooting up period.
Because, the way I’m looking at this is, if from one time around I’m
getting the reactions inside that I am, how much better, or at least, how
much MORE concrete strength will I be able to take from a second session? I
think I will get a lot of good, and nothing bad, from doing this. I honestly
feel that it will be nothing but beneficial to me to do this, even though at
first I stated how I was unable to see how anyone could want to do this
stuff twice.
It must seem like I’m making a rush decision, but I’ve been thinking
very hard about this, and know what I want, and that is to go under/through
again, and do some self-examinations for real, in a darkened space without
the distractions of NYC streets and such. I want to use it for real medical
and some spiritual reasons too, and besides the pain issues, I’m plenty
healthy enough to do so. I don’t want to wait- I have the time, the
opportunity, the money, the desire, and so, well, the time is simply right.
I don’t know how it is for others, especially pain patients, but I DO
know for a fact that we are not all made to fit the same mold. For some,
waiting a year between a first and second session, or even just a few
months, might be a great idea and just dandy, but knowing myself as I do,
knowing how I feel both mentally and physically, I don’t want to wait even 3
months. So, if things work out I’ll be out of the country in 9 days, and
will be able to come back and face my pain doctor with a head and heart full
of ibogaine and really get this straight in my own head.
BTW, I thought I might be seeing trails still this evening, but that
seems to have stopped now.
So, I guess I’m venting here a little bit, because I’m a little worried
things might not work out. Please all, keep your fingers crossed that things
work out as I’d like them to. (Gosh, guess we all want that for ourselves
huh.) V feels it is a good idea, and is totally supportive of my doing this
again-particularly before going to see my doctor again- which is going to be
necessary as I’ll be just about running out of meds by that already
scheduled appointment. A few others I have spoken with also feel that my
doing this is a good idea- or at least not a bad idea, that I of all I know,
know myself. Then there are a few others who seem to feel that waiting is a
good idea. Maybe for some people that’s the case, but, well I’m starting to
repeat myself.
I’ll read whatever feedback comes through, and hope for the best.
Peace and love to you all,
Preston

Once again, it’s that ol’ patience issue too. Sooner or later, hopefully
sooner Than later, you will find yourself in a darkened room somewhere, with
someone caring and watching over you, as you take the plunge/leap, and
you’ll think back to these moments of anticipation and desire, and realize
that no time at all has passed, that it feels just like yesterday you were
so wanting to get ahold of this- and now you’re in the thick of it all.
Or so that’s how it worked, and usually does work, for me when I’m
lookin’ forward to stuff.
Keep yer chin up Callie, and remember that I love to hear from you.

Hello all, I hope I am going to be able to make sense of what I am wanting
to say. I have tried to state it here for the past couple of days but end up
deleting the message cause it sounds goofy and unclear!
Reading Prestons post Ibo posts, I am reminded of how I used to look at and
live life. From his new fruit eating habits to listening to more jangly type
of music. I remember brimming with self confidence and making good out of
most situations.
This all changed as I became addicted. Not overnight….I maintained a s/w
healthy lifestyle and life but it was slowly chipped away the more I used.
I am so looking forward to having those ‘new eyes’ again!
I am enjoying Prestons posts as if I am reading a novel!

It was also good to read Dr.Toms posts. Thanks to EVERYONE who shares on
this list!

Preston! So great to have you on the other side 🙂 I
also have to say I loved reading through your
experience as you posted it as it was happening and
went from never again, stay away from me, to being so
happy and looking forward to the next one 😉

Patrick is a smart-ass but very funny and watching
what he said is going to happen to you, happening to
you and to where you’re at right now is so awesome,
you deserve all this and so much more Preston 🙂

Also have to say I LMAO reading your intro and the
Mysterious Voice PK 😉 I haven’t talked voice with PK
in years, but I do very much remember there were only
two versions. Phone Sex Operator 🙂 Where this
perfect deep voice is always….. he never says
anything sexual but he makes everything sexual, he can
talk about the weather and I loooooove listening to it
😉 Everything is sooo cool, so perfect. Or Kamikazee
Pilot which is where he ‘talks’ 100 words a minute,
yells and screams, things are always smashing or
slamming in the background and he reminds me of
someone who smoked a lot of crack and is holding a axe
and waving it around.

Patrick has a lot of manic depression 😉 🙂

Love both of you! I’m so happy for you Preston!!!
You’re still talking to Patrick aren’t you 😉 He’s
the only one I know whos managed to live on the
holodeck, if you can stay there too I’m so jealous I
want to come!!!

Oh yeah, I did that … well, what I did first was throw away all my OLD,
USED rigs, and stashed 4 or 5 new, unopened rigs in a box outta the way, so
just in case things didn’t work out I’d still have them hidden away for
sneaking off and using to bang with- but then, still the night before taking
the ibogaine, I realized that no, I didn’t want to do that at all, so dug
them ALL out of their various hideyholes and tossed them all away.
They’re gone and I ain’t gonna get no more.

I’m jealous, my trails faded after 59.33 hours.<

I’m sorry, but now that dusk has settled in again, I’m once more seeing
quite vivid, fainter but still very present trails.

I can see the glow in the east from all the way across the pacific…<

LOL, good to hear it.
Peace and love Dave and again, thanks for thinking of me right away like

Preston,

it thrills me to no end to see your transformation over the last 10
days, from pre-white light anxiety, to doubt and fear, to never wanting
to ever do ibo again, to trails, to dreaded boosters, to prescription
reductions, to bubbling new realizations, to cantelope, to looking
forward to the next time.

Thou hath been initiated.

Somewhere, somehow, sometime down the road you will be able to say to
someone in need… dude, here’s a phone number. That’s all I ask. Pass
it on.

If I may be so bold: throw away your rigs.

You, like me, had a lot going for you pre-ibo to increase your odds of
a successful adventure. you are involved with life. you spin music, you
write, you have someone you love and who loves you, you have projects
and dreams. These things fit in nicely with the ibo picture. dosing
someone from the street with none of these things, and no-one to help
afterwards doesn’t usually go very far. I don’t discount folks like
that, but knowing pretty much these things about you made me think,
Preston needs to give this a shot.

stick with it, enjoy the glow while it lasts. there’s always boosters,
and there’s always pk and me and the list.

I’m jealous, my trails faded after 59.33 hours.

I can see the glow in the east from all the way across the pacific…

afterwards doesn’t usually go very far. I don’t discount folks like
that, but knowing pretty much these things about you made me think,
Preston needs to give this a shot.

stick with it, enjoy the glow while it lasts. there’s always boosters,

Hello all, I hope I am going to be able to make sense of what I am wanting to say. I have tried to state it here for the past couple of days but end up deleting the message cause it sounds goofy and unclear!
Reading Prestons post Ibo posts, I am reminded of how I used to look at and live life. From his new fruit eating habits to listening to more jangly type of music. I remember brimming with self confidence and making good out of most situations.
This all changed as I became addicted. Not overnight….I maintained a s/w healthy lifestyle and life but it was slowly chipped away the more I used.
I am so looking forward to having those ‘new eyes’ again!
I am enjoying Prestons posts as if I am reading a novel!

It was also good to read Dr.Toms posts. Thanks to EVERYONE who shares on this list!

Under the Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs
Edited by Preston Peet

[TITLE] Introduction

Some people say we should write what we know. In my own case, it’s excellent
advice that has served me well.

In 1996, I reached a major intersection in my life when I decided I was
tired of living the life of a street-bound junkie, and needed drastic
change. After some initial stumbling and lurching, I finally got my act
together, ending my decade and a half long love/hate relationship with hard,
illegal street drugs.

Having seen and lived the using side of the equation (see Appendix A),
coming into repeated contact with prohibitionist policies and the police who
enforce them, I wanted to know what was driving the War on Some Drugs and
Users and why, no matter how many times I and my drug using friends and the
dealers we bought from were getting arrested, there were always others on
the streets to whom I could go to buy the drugs I’d wanted and needed.

I began coming across disturbing stories about CIA-connected drug
trafficking, first reading Alexander Cockburn’s allegations in the New York
Press, then Gary Webb’s Dark Alliance series, first published in the San
Jose Mercury News in 1996. I was appalled to discover that the joking around
we would do while getting high-about how the low-level streets dealers were
not the ones who owned the airplanes that brought the drugs into the
country, or the corporations that ship precursor chemicals needed to produce
the cocaine and heroin we were doing, or the banks that launder the billions
of money made each year in the international illegal drug trade, that our
government had to be involved in some way in the trafficking-was truer than
I’d ever seriously imagined. Why was I getting arrested for buying and using
the very drugs that my government and its allies were both producing and
bringing across the border?

By 1998, I had begun to write about this and other drug war related topics,
pitching articles to any and all publications I thought might be interested
in helping expose the hypocrisy and propaganda I was finding everywhere I
looked concerning the War on Drugs. I sold my first article to High Times
magazine in 1999, and was soon contributing regularly to the magazine and
its website.

To help me get through the stresses and joys of life without hard street
drugs, I reaffirmed my love and respect for marijuana, which got me through
the hardest days and nights. This lead me one day proudly to tell a friend
who’d brought me an eighth of pot that I was now regularly writing and
publishing articles about the War on Drugs for High Times. He asked me if I’
d heard of Disinformation’s website, Disinfo.com. He typed it up on my
computer to see if any of my work was linked there, to no avail. After he
left, I wrote the publisher of the Disinformation website an email, pitching
a dossier about CIA-Drug running. I got a reply from co-founder and
publisher Gary Baddeley within twenty minutes, saying it was a topic right
up their alley and that they’d be glad to take a look.

Needless to say, they published the finished dossier, leading to my
publishing more than 60 articles for Disinformation, on many diverse topics
but mostly about drugs and prohibition. When Disinformation had the idea in
2003 of publishing a book about drugs, they turned to me, and I gladly
accepted the challenge. You are holding the results in your hands.

This book covers many different views of many different drugs and the
fashion in which society deals with those drugs. Some of these essays are
scholarly examinations of the deep politics and covert actions behind and
justifying the War. Some of the contributors dissect the overt politics and
history of the War. Some examine enforcement policies and some focus on what
happens when one ingests any number of drugs, legal and illegal both. You
will find discussions about what exactly constitutes a drug, why society
deals with drugs and those who use them the way we do, and where we might be
going in terms of attitudes and policies.

Considering that there are thousands of substances that can be considered
drugs and laws governing their use(s) today, you might not find your drug(s)
of choice here, though I’ve tried to offer as wide an assortment as possible
for your education and entertainment. The War itself influences a broad
spectrum of society today, eating up tax money and lives, corrupting
governments and police agencies, driving bloody wars and violent repression,
while drugs themselves offer both enlightenment and despair.

One thing you won’t find much of here is the prohibitionists’ viewpoint,
because I feel they have enjoyed wide exposure for decades without many
counterarguments in the mainstream press, basically given free reign to
promote their lies, blatant deceits which end up causing much more damage to
lives and society than any drug use or abuse ever has. The prohibitionists
have insured that real drug education does not take place in the US, and
despite the obvious groundswell among the population at large for more
rational and humane ways of dealing with drugs and users, they show few
signs themselves of altering their views or their tactics.

Nine US states have legalized medical marijuana use since 1996, and ten
states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina,
Maine, Minnesota, Ohio, and Oregon) that have decriminalized outright the
possession of marijuana since the 1970s, but the federal government
continues to crack down on users, patients and suppliers.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons put the number of US
citizens who suffer excruciating, life-affecting pain at 48 million in
October 2003, yet the federal government is enthusiastically prosecuting
doctors who specialize in treating chronic pain by prescribing powerful
opiate-based medications, the most effective treatments for pain known to
humanity today, scaring many doctors away from the pain treatment field and
leaving patients to suffer without respite.

Many cultures around the planet have used a huge variety of drugs for
religious, medical and recreational reasons for millennia, but US
prohibitionists prefer to treat nearly all drug use as abuse, continuing to
issue baseless scare stories while sending out armed enforcers to corral
small time users and dealers at ever increasing rates, filling US prisons to
the breaking point.

By 2004, many countries such as Belgium, England, Canada, and Switzerland to
name but a few, were radically changing the way they legislate drugs and
their use, in many cases decriminalizing and even legalizing personal
possession and use of small quantities of drugs. In March, 2004, the World
Health Organization listed the leading causes of death in the US, with
tobacco and obesity coming in first. The WHO then listed in descending
order: alcohol use, pneumonia and influenza, exposure to pollutants and
other toxic agents, motor vehicle accidents, shootings, and sexual
behaviors. Illicit drug use came in last. Yet the US government continues
spending billions of tax dollars every year waging war on its own citizens
over this drug use.

All these issues and many more are covered in detail inside this anthology.
An informed populace is necessary for a healthy democracy, but when it comes
to drugs, the majority of the US populace is woefully ignorant today, their
elected political representatives even more so. Until fears and prejudices
are put aside, instituting rational drug policies will continue to be an
unattainable pipedream, an alternate reality just out of reach. Lives will
continue to be destroyed, both by ignorant legislation and by a dangerous
lack of knowledge about drugs themselves. Driving a car is a dangerous, even
at times deadly activity, but we do not pretend that people cannot drive
sanely and responsibly. We do not insist that all cars are killers nor that
driving will lead inevitably to destruction and death. What we do is teach
people to use their automobiles safely, teaching them the road rules to
ensure they reach their destinations alive. This is what we should be doing
when it comes to drugs as well.

As long as the mainstream media continues to air endless commercials for
drugs to treat incontinence, indigestion, obesity, depression, sexual
dysfunction, and any other assortment of conditions, people will continue to
be confused by the anti-drug messages promoted by the government. If
anything sends the wrong message to kids, it is that some drugs, usually
pharmaceuticals, are ok and some, often the natural ones which can be grown
from the Earth, are not. There is no rational policy determining which is
which.

Yet another wrong message for the kids is the government continuing to fund
year after year anti-drug policies that to any critical eye are obviously
not working-if in fact ending drug abuse and drug trafficking really are the
goals of prohibitionist politicians and law enforcers. The War is becoming
so obviously indefensible that the federal government has gone so far as to
ban drug war reform advertising on public transportation systems that take
federal money, refusing to allow citizens to use their own money to
advertise sane policies while simultaneously using tax money to pay for
anti-drug messages in the same public systems. Thankfully a federal judge
soon found this to be unconstitutional.

Ninety years after the passage of the Harrison Narcotics Act, the first
federal anti-drug law in the US, it is my hope in editing this anthology
that people will read it and learn some of what is really going on, that not
all drug use is drug abuse nor all users degenerate losers in need of
incarceration or treatment. I want readers to see that rational,
humanitarian alternatives to the current system are not only possible but
are ultimately preferable-then demand that their elected representatives
examine these alternatives and end the War on Some Drugs and Users.

Cost and cost-effectiveness of standard methadone maintenance treatment
compared to enriched 180-day methadone detoxification. Masson CL,
Barnett PG, Sees KL, Delucchi KL, Rosen A, Wong W, Hall SM. Addiction
(2004) 99:718-726

Dear Colleagues,
The editor of Addiction has long espoused high levels of ethics in
submissions to his august journal. Half of the subjects in this study
received treatment which is known to be inadequate and inappropriate for
unselected heroin addicts, viz: reduction pharmacotherapy [see UK
‘Orange’ dependency guidelines p59]. I believe that a properly informed
and constituted ethics committee would not currently permit such a study
without safety net provisions in most countries. A cost analysis of such
outcomes is thus a double redundancy since at least one branch of the
study used an outmoded treatment model.

Originally published in JAMA in 2000, this study examined outcomes in
heroin addicts given access to ‘standard’ (US) methadone maintenance
treatment and compared it with randomised entrants given 6 months
reductions with added psychosocial supports. Predictably there were more
dropouts and heroin use was higher in the group given methadone
reductions. Such problems became most prominent when the doses were
reducing, by about 4 months. In a country without freely available
needles this condemned some of the subjects to risk of viral disease
transmission, something the researchers might have had some discomfort
about.

It is hard to find any justification for this exposure and the results,
while statistically impressive, yield little innovative and tell us
nothing new. Even when inadequate doses are given with minimal
additional supports, methadone maintenance has some benefits for most
patients.

Such treatment works better still when given according to current
recommendations (eg. Strang’s UK dependency guidelines; US ‘TIP’
Guidelines; Australian national guidelines). And most importantly,
methadone maintenance is a relatively cheap intervention when compared
with treatment for other chronic mental or physical conditions.

The authors made note of the doses being adequate “by today’s standards”
yet 100mg appears to have been the maximum, nor do they specify what
“standards” they are referring to. This shows how out of touch with
treatment practices they are. Most clinics now have a certain proportion
of patients taking more than 100mg daily. The original JAMA report by
Vincent P. Dole in 1965 described up to 180mg in several of the first 25
patients.

There seems little point in discussing the cost effectiveness of two
treatments, neither of which meets currently accepted benchmarks. The
consequences of giving inadequate doses of methadone (especially NO
methadone) are probably as serious and profound as doctors prescribing
inadequate doses of lithium, insulin, cortisone, antibiotics or any
other useful and potentially life-saving medicine.

An embarrassment for the journal and the authors while also being a
potential tragedy for some of the hapless ‘patients’ being ‘treated’.

And yer right, it’s not quite the same with us all I guess, as I still luv
smokin’ pot, and hope I always will.
;p-)))
I also have a newly kindled desire to do a lot of psychedelics that I’ve
not yet had the opportunity to try- DMT, ayahuasca, peyote, even E and LSD
and shrooms for sure if I could find any of this stuff.
On yet another note, I must point out that I’m DEALING WITH THE PAIN
BETTER- a LOT better.
I still hurt a lot, but gee, I can take A pill and it helps, and I’m
satisfied.
I mean it, I went DANCING, really full on out of my head trancelike
dancing last night, for HOURS non-stop without let up, and loved every
minute of it. I only stopped because I was so tired I was about to collapse.
I’m also going to bed with the sunrise, then getting outta bed by 10:30
or 11AM each day, then filling my days with non-stop activities, even going
outside, which I’ve been hating doing for quite some time due to my living
on a 5th Floor walkup and just not wanting to be outside if I didn’t have
to, since I could only do my painkillers inside my apartment safely.
So I’m basically going and going and going until I finally get so tired
I can sleep, as I’ve had the help of mad amounts of opiates for years to put
me out, and now I have to do with a lot less and it is difficult to get to
sleep unless I’ve utterly worn myself out first.
I also haven’t taken an afternoon nap since last weekend.
Weird, weird weird turn of events.
Thanks for the feedback Tom.
Question for Howard- it would be fine for me to fully redose for another
session next Monday, 9 days from now, yes? I fully intend on doing so, I’m
basically lookin’ for reassurance, not permission.

Peace, and love,
Preston

Preston

Thanks for the ongoing narrative and congratulations for getting to the
Holodeck for yourself. Regarding bowel management, pain relief, and
recovery of your strength, please don’t view these issues as failures in
OTC or prescription pharmacology. I hope Bwiti showed you what the
ancestor team thinks about you donating your vitality to short term
burnouts. Contrary to some attitudes expressed on this list, that ancestor
team cares more about hippie junkies than they usually do about
themselves. That’s the point. Even calling ibogaine a drug must bug Bwiti
on whatever personal pride level She/He dwells.

For the bowel comfort, drink a glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom
Salts every couple of hours until you get the release you need. Right
after you are up and re-entering, say hours 36-48, use a hot bath soak
with 1 cup each of Baking Soda and Epsom Salts in it to soak away some of
those kinks and muscle aches. 3 or more of these hot soaks a day for a few
days will help your post ibo and post opiate body do relaxation and less
pain, more easily.

You had asked about being able to smoke weed and manage symptoms with
other drugs before and after this. You can do whatever you want, that
being the heavan and hell of this free-will thang called life. What ibo
brought to the table for me is that seeking fun, comfort, health and

Preston,

it thrills me to no end to see your transformation over the last 10 days, from pre-white light anxiety, to doubt and fear, to never wanting to ever do ibo again, to trails, to dreaded boosters, to prescription reductions, to bubbling new realizations, to cantelope, to looking forward to the next time.

Thou hath been initiated.

Somewhere, somehow, sometime down the road you will be able to say to someone in need… dude, here’s a phone number. That’s all I ask. Pass it on.

If I may be so bold: throw away your rigs.

You, like me, had a lot going for you pre-ibo to increase your odds of a successful adventure. you are involved with life. you spin music, you write, you have someone you love and who loves you, you have projects and dreams. These things fit in nicely with the ibo picture. dosing someone from the street with none of these things, and no-one to help afterwards doesn’t usually go very far. I don’t discount folks like that, but knowing pretty much these things about you made me think, Preston needs to give this a shot.

stick with it, enjoy the glow while it lasts. there’s always boosters, and there’s always pk and me and the list.

I’m jealous, my trails faded after 59.33 hours.

I can see the glow in the east from all the way across the pacific…

Actually it is called Torsades de Pointes. It is serious and can be fatal. It can be a chronic condition that can be treated with medication. You are very correct that an acute episode could be fatal. An acute episode means that it comes on suddenly.
It is defined as a ventricular tachycardia with arrhythmia.
It is very complicated to explain and understand unless you are a cardiologist, which I am not so I feel sure this is a very simplistic explanation!

And another very big thing for me-
Since taking the ibogaine, I’ve been unable, or at least unwilling to suject
myself to the television or the news. I turned it on once this week, just in
time to see that all of Iraq is in rebellion and how fucked up with we’ve
made that situation, then a story about how my hometown of Sarasota is about
to be plowed under by a hurricane or two.
That was enough. CLICK, off went the boob toob, and off it’s stayed. I
have been listening to music like I’ve not done is years, all sorts of
stuff, new stuff, old stuff, everything. I’m loving music again and I love
that.
Peace,
Preston

HI all,
More thoughts.
I have suddenly rediscovered food. I was surving on instant oatmeal and
ice cream for ages it seemed like there at the end, particularly the last
couple weeks- that was literally all I was eating. Post-ibo I’ve still not
had any of the ice cream (with chocolate syrup of course) in my freezer.
Instead, last night while I’d initially planning on running a bath (this
morning actually, getting home from dancing very hard all night- with an
extremely bad back and leg- go figure) and eating some of that
aforementioned ice cream, I ate a whole package of cut up Cantalope.
This is something else. I’ve been tons of fruit, like never before, not
in years anyway. I have a disastor area of a mouth due to horrificly bad
teeth, which has made eating difficult for years, but, this week I’ve been
chowing down, or trying to anyway. It’s still quite small amounts compared
to most people I suspect, but for me, it’s a drastic sudden change.
The trails were still going strong last night, with all the taxis and
pedestrians all leaving long, very bright and colorful (rainbows I keep
thinking) trails behind as they pass me.
Anyway, just thought I’d add these extra observations of things that
seem to be resulting somehow from the ibo experience.
Fascinated almost covers my feelings about all this.
Peace,
Preston

I think the THOUGHT is always there… its who we are, or at least who I was… but a thought and a craving are very different in my opinion. When I have put together about 12 hours of sleep in the past 3 weeks of course the thought is there its all I really have known how to deal with anything in the past. “if I did a half a bag right now I just know I’d sleep” but as I said its a thought vs. a craving where some kind of action or scheming would be involved. I’m not entertaining those thoughts. So maybe to clarify I will instead say that the OBSESSION as been removed. Better?
Another tough night, but waking up and going out in the sun and feeling grateful is a feeling I just can’t ever remember having and I have had that feeling every day since the 26th.
Preston, I’m coming back into the city this morning. If your around I’ll stop by. And Dana I couldn’t make out the message you left but I plan to swing by this morning.

I might have my laptop back today afterall and will post my personal expereince.

I thought you’d said you have had a couple of nights at least Mark where you
actually felt like going out to cop a bag or three and had to actually fight
to not do so?
Aren’t those cravings? Even if you were successful in not following
through on them?
Love you man. I’m just asking, not accusing or anything at all.

for me instead of taking any Valium or any kind of sleep aid but I’m finding

Thanks for the ongoing narrative and congratulations for getting to the
Holodeck for yourself. Regarding bowel management, pain relief, and

OTC or prescription pharmacology. I hope Bwiti showed you what the
ancestor team thinks about you donating your vitality to short term
burnouts. Contrary to some attitudes expressed on this list, that ancestor
team cares more about hippie junkies than they usually do about
themselves. That’s the point. Even calling ibogaine a drug must bug Bwiti
on whatever personal pride level She/He dwells.

For the bowel comfort, drink a glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom
Salts every couple of hours until you get the release you need. Right
after you are up and re-entering, say hours 36-48, use a hot bath soak
with 1 cup! each of Baking Soda and Epsom Salts in it to soak away some of
those kinks and muscle aches. 3 or more of these hot soaks a day for a few
days will help your post ibo and post opiate body do relaxation and less
pain, more easily.

You had asked about being able to smoke weed and manage symptoms with
other drugs before and after this. You can do whatever you want, that
being the heavan and hell of this free-will thang called life. What ibo
brought to the table for me is that seeking fun, comfort, health and
happiness through any drug is like looking through the wrong side of your
binoculars to see things closer up, or pounding in loose nails with your
new laptop. Bwiti wasn’t putting down drugs as bad, nor did She put me
down from any moralistic or pious perspective, it was just shown those
wonderful results are not what drugs can provide.

I can’t presume anyone else would get the same message from a session with
the ibo team that I d! id, but a similar result has been described by
junkies who I have facilitated with ibo. After where they go and what they
experience with this experience, the routine, habitual self destruction of

Hi all,
I’m noticing small but very distinct differences in myself this week,
post ibogaine.
For one thing, I’ve suddenly got all the time on my hands that was once
filled with “killing time” and now I spend time “filling time” instead,
writing, playing music, taking walks or baths, planning and plotting, doing
things.
I’m brushing my teeth regularly instead of my somewhat lax habits up to
recently.
I’m washing dishes, doing cat litter duties, othe chores, writing, when
I think of it right away instead of thinking about thinking about doing this
stuff.
My music preferences, while still leaning towards my usual heavier type
styles of rock and such, are suddenly leaning towards slightly more
trip-hopish like stuff, percussion and rythms, trippy stuff.
I went to Lotus tonight, where V bartends, a bar I usually cannot stand,
mainly for the people but also cause I don’t really like the music either-
but tonight I didn’t care about other people, I was glad to be there in a
packed dance club, dancing to rave/house/triphop blasting through me. This
is a difference, and something I actively sought out tonight- the chance to
listen and dance to very loud music that is different than anything I would
put on myself.
I”m a bit worried about when this glow wears off, as I mentioned to a
friend today. It will pass, and I have always, ALWAYS in the past eventually
forgot about newly found good healthy habits and revert back to old patterns
of laziness and sloth in varying degrees- this I really do not want to
happen to me again.
I’m thinking of trying another session in the near future (somewhere
legal this time so no risk to anyone), to see if I can work out whatever
issues it is that I have for cigarettes. I still am smoking like a freakin’
chimmny, and my girlfriend hates it. She’s one of those rare people who can
smoke a single cig whenever she wants, then not smoke again for days at
times. I never can do that, and I feel the damage being done to myself each
time I light up- yet I have YET to stop. And I’m seeing those new
anti-smoking adverts, the ones where one person says, “I just can’t stop
smoking,” then the next person is sitting in bed with an oxygen tank saying,
“I just can’t get my breath,” then someone saying, “I just don’t think I can
ever quit smoking,” then another person, a doctor, is looking at x-rays and
saying, “I just don’t think I can operate.” These commercials are really
bothering me for some reason, unlike others in the part- yet again, I can’t
seem to fucking stop picking up that next cig and lighting up. And it’s
driving me nuts.
So the point is I would like to try another session very soon to maybe
reexamine some of what I was exposed to last time but maybe didn’t have time
to really go into, being as surprised and wiped by the immensity first
experience, a very trying and distracting experience for a first timer like
me anyway.
I still feel calm and relatively happy most of my waking time. People
are still noticing a glow of sorts, and while I normally stand out in a
crowd anyway, people really do seem to be doing a lot more doubletakes
towards me this week compared to usually, as though they really do sense
something. I think part of it is a returned sense of self confidence,
something I’ve been having a lot of trouble with, especially this entire
last year or so, as the habit grew, my self -esteem had been delining
exponentially. Now, that’s changed too.
The fact this stuff so completely and utterly flipped the switches in my
head and apparently my body too really bugs me out, leaving me gobsmaked and
slackjawed in awe.
I also did a few hours of djing tonight, also leaning towards the Perry
Ferrel/O-Rang style of weirdish trippy spacy trancey type stuff (mixed in
with the Queens of the Stone Age, Franz Ferdinand, Iron Maiden, Black
Sabbath, Monster Magnet, Joy Division, Cure, etc that I normally play).
So I just wanted to post a short update. Nothing too much new, but
still, a few tidbits for thought and feedback if anyone desires. I’m very
much enjoying all the feedback to previous posts and am reading them all,
even I do not respond to every single note to me on or even off list.
Peace and love all,
Preston

However, for me instead of taking any Valium or any kind of sleep aid but I’m finding that pot has helped to sooth my stomach and make me comfortable but I know in my heart of hearts that once I’m feeling 100% I’ll take a little break from that as well. But MY GOD what a difference. I feel like a brand new man.
Can’t wait till the sun goes down. Be in touch soon. – M.

Thanks for the ongoing narrative and congratulations for getting to the
Holodeck for yourself. Regarding bowel management, pain relief, and
recovery of your strength, please don’t view these issues as failures in
OTC or prescription pharmacology. I hope Bwiti showed you what the
ancestor team thinks about you donating your vitality to short term
burnouts. Contrary to some attitudes expressed on this list, that ancestor
team cares more about hippie junkies than they usually do about
themselves. That’s the point. Even calling ibogaine a drug must bug Bwiti
on whatever personal pride level She/He dwells.

For the bowel comfort, drink a glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom
Salts every couple of hours until you get the release you need. Right
after you are up and re-entering, say hours 36-48, use a hot bath soak
with 1 cup each of Baking Soda and Epsom Salts in it to soak away some of
those kinks and muscle aches. 3 or more of these hot soaks a day for a few
days will help your post ibo and post opiate body do relaxation and less
pain, more easily.

You had asked about being able to smoke weed and manage symptoms with
other drugs before and after this. You can do whatever you want, that
being the heavan and hell of this free-will thang called life. What ibo
brought to the table for me is that seeking fun, comfort, health and
happiness through any drug is like looking through the wrong side of your
binoculars to see things closer up, or pounding in loose nails with your
new laptop. Bwiti wasn’t putting down drugs as bad, nor did She put me
down from any moralistic or pious perspective, it was just shown those
wonderful results are not what drugs can provide.

I can’t presume anyone else would get the same message from a session with
the ibo team that I did, but a similar result has been described by
junkies who I have facilitated with ibo. After where they go and what they
experience with this experience, the routine, habitual self destruction of
their preferred drug is just too boring and predictable, too much of a
waste of time to hold as much of a glamor for them again. Remember when
the phrase, “no thanks, I get high on life” was the straight comeback to
an offered toke, or drink? Well, now I can frame that for me now. Sober,
non-high is both higher and lower than being stoned or “high”. I don’t

The average Doc who does your ECG will have no idea what to look for to tell you whether it is okay for you to take IBO. All ECG’s are not of the same quality. The doc who will administer the IBO must see the ECG and in the context of your specific case history and meds that you where on and are on ,will decide if you pass the “ECG test” . The importnat aspect, is the rate correvted QT interval , known as the QTc. Its all very complicated, but relates to drugs like IBO that are metabilized in the liver by an enyzme system known as Cytochrome P450 -2D6. These drugs prolong the QT interval on an ECG and can lead to a dangerous situation while under IBO know as Torsades. ( and that can kill you)

So for all of you who think this is all bullshit, well good luck to ya. It’s really for the experts. Unfortunatly, most of the so called IBO experts have absolutly no idea of what this is about.

The risk of this happening is very low when compared to risks of continuing to shoot junk. Yet , in the hands of a trained expert who knows what to screen for, the risks can be reduced to almost zero.

Yata yata so now kill me cause you dont like what I have to say. Well it’s just the truth. Check it out for yourself.

the drugs have been able to give for a lift.  This is just me, and part of

How many people did not go through withdrawal?
How many people had their withdrawal reduced?
How many people reduced their drug intake?
How many people feel more comfortable with themselves in their drug taking

How many people feel better about themselves?
How many people have changed the route of their drug take, ie. oral rather

How many people are not using…which drugs?

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I do tend to look up to Daniel
Pinchbeck for having gotten a contract from a publisher to travel the world
taking seriously heavy psychedelic drugs and writing about it.
That said, now that I’ve done it myself, I wish I’d had my own ibogaine
piece ready to use when putting this together.
LOL.
Anyway, thought I’d share the contents of the book Under the Influence- the
Disinformation Guide to Drugs with you all. This was a LOT of work, and I
did a lot of it completely off my face stoned.
The point of my telling you that is because I try to live every second
of my life proving how Stupid and Fucked Up the War on Some Drugs and Users
really honestly is-and if I could be doing the amounts of serious opiates
I’ve been doing up till recently and still put together such a tight and
varied collection of work of my own and others too, well, suffice it to say
that the war is wronghead and stupid.

I agree with what you said about patience and not having any<

most every drug abusers, garbage head I’ve ever known has this patience
problem. I know I want everythingt just so NOW, not THEN but NOW.
Maybe a walk to NYC from the Catskills would do you some good, but not
if yer coming to score of course, just for the scenic excercise.
And be careful about that faith thing.
I’ve been hearing from one or two folk very recently that I am the ONE
success story so far with the ibogaine treatments here, that everyone has
wound up back out buying dope.
And, once again, I think, it boils down to not having aftercare/after
activities/distractions/something to do AFTER the ibogaine. I think I’ve
been lucky because I do have stuff to focus on, a lot of stuff that I’ve
been letting slide very badly this past year or two now. Plus I have someone
who loves me very much and likewise her, so I”m sorry to report, that from
my own somewhat removed perspective and while I could be wrong, no one has

And even I’m using, but I’m using completely by choice my max of two a day
ms-contins.
So is that a success? Yeah, I honestly think it is, a very big one. ANd I’m
so glad to have had this opportunity, I cannot stress enough how much glad I
am.

Be carefull about alcohol in the post addiction stage<

Yeah, I don’t drink alcohol.
Almost Never. Maybe once a year or two, I’ll binge and drink 3 Stellas of
something then literally weave my way home, but that’s really rare.

Also be very carefull about eating too much<

LOL, never had this problem, but I’m trying to eat a lot more good food
lately, fruits and french toast and whatever else I can make up and fill up
on.
Thanks for the kind words.
Peace,
Preston

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

HI all,
I don’t remember who asked last month whether anyone else thought that
Perry mighta taken ibogaine after listening to 3 Days.
But to make me laugh out loud, outtta the blue this morning, after
eating my last booster, V and I were lying here listening to Perry’s solo
ablum Song Yet to be Sung. And she says, “do you think Perry’s done
ibogaine?”
Yes, I did laugh out loud, then tell her about the 3Days question, and
she said, “Hey, when I first got to Slipper Room on Saturday night, while
you were at home preparing with fasting and pot and stuff for Sunday’s
experience, I immediately, first thing, played 3Days for you, even though
you weren’t there.”
l-)))))
So we’ve decided that if he hasn’t done it, he sure makes music like he
has.
;-))
Peace and love all,
Preston

Preston, thanx for that link. I have read that one some time ago and forgot all about it. I agree with what you said about patience and not having any. I’m sittin’ in the Catskills thinking about walking to NYC in search of. But I have something set up,(I hope?) for later and I must be patient and hold my breath on a low dose of methadone. I’ve learned one thing and that is to have a little faith and I got some so in the meantime I will live vicariously thru you. Keep posting.     Randy

Kicking Drugs with Drugs-
Taking the Left Hand Path
By Preston Peet

Posted August 12, 2004

Ibogaine

“Hey dude, that phone call I’ve been wanting to make for two years
is
finally being made, right here, right now,” drawled the voice in
my ear
through the slightly bad cell phone connection at the Voice’s end.

“What phone call is that?” I asked, knowing pretty much exactly
what
phone
call it was and why he was so excited to be making it.
“Watch for communications soon from another friend of ours,” the
Voice
said,
almost giggling with glee. “He’s gonna have a number for you to
call,
to get
in touch with some folk doing underground, guerilla ibogaine treatments

in
NYC, this coming August.”
Immediately I’m feeling all sorts of conflicting emotions. Because
here
it
is, no more talking about wanting to do it, or wondering on this
or that
email list what the effects are and if it really, really does work
to
interrupt or cure or help people get over a wide variety of addictions.

If
it is here in my own city and I can get it at much cheaper rates
than
were I
to fly to some foreign country where it’s either legal or simply
not
regulated at all yet, how in the hell am I, a seasoned, proud proponent

of
cognitive liberty and the free taking of powerful mind expanding
drugs,
a
veritable Drug Expert, Author and psychonaut, going to live it down
if I
chicken out and say, “oh, no thank you”?

Hi Preston,

If it were me, which it is not, I would take something gentle like milk of
magnesia, it takes a while.  Then a little more and a little more.  Then,
and I know you will hate this, take a Fleet emema with mineral oil or maybe
two.  I know it’s not fun but it will make the poop slid out.  Of course
what would I know about things like that?  Just another opinion.

When was the last time you have eaten? Did you move your bowels during the
ibogaine experience. You are lucky to have had a brave provider who would
treat
you with all those missing componen! ts since many of the more formal
providers
would not. But, it is good to know.

What did you take for constipation in the past. Call your doctor and tell
him you are constipated and ask his advice. Are you compacted? Call your
doctor. Get medical advice. Do you have any other symptoms? The guy in the
UK
who took indra and died in 2000, took a dump and died. You should be
informed.
Call you doctor and ask advice and tell him of any other symptoms. Abdominal
pain? Etc? Possibly, dumping and walking are associated. Walk and you will
dump…maybe. Ask you doctors advice re the issue of dumping.

Check out this page and see if this helps Randy. It’s an official NY State
Office of Alcoholism and substance Abuse Services Addiction Medicine
webpage, so it’s pretty druned official looking to show a doctor curious
about ibogaine without getting any of the “mumbo stuff” into the mix right
off the bat.

Hi all, I have a new Dr. who seems very interested in Ibogaine. Does anyone
know of a package that I can print out for him about it. Matter of fact I
have DR.s and mental health friends from NY to KY who I would like to give
information to. I could make up something on my own but I trust Howard or
some of you are more articulate than I. I feel like spreading the news is
all I can do until I do it myself.  Randy

Yep, I’m empty, and eating lots of fruits like I seldom if ever do.

Potentiate my current state somewhat. I do NOT want to wait to let the stuff
still in me eek out before taking this other one.

Generally those trails are gone by day 7 at the latest.<

That’s still a pretty big if, but I feel so good NOW that hell, you

What a lightweight wuss I am.

Preston,

You are a Banzie and an experienced drug experimenter/author.  That places
you in a knowledgeable position.  I would, before gaining broader
experience,
stick to the general ibogaine protocol, take ibogaine instead of your
morning
dose of opiates/wake-up. Then the question becomes “booster” or anther
dose.
The same capsule/dose of ibogaine can be used for either.  Have you moved
your
bowels yet? Do you want to potentiate your current state or do you want to
wait
7 to 10 days to get most of the ibog/noribo out of your system and then
redose or not.  Also how much ibo/etc. you have on board may be very
specific to
the individual and your issues with large and small intestine may effect
that or
not.  Generally those trails are gone by day 7 at the latest. That may
indicate you are clearing iboga alkaloid metabolite or it may represent
another
mechanism altogether.  Many people don’t see them after 48-72 hours, some
even
sooner than that.  With highly purified ibogaine they disappear faster
than with
ibo containing various amounts of other iboga alkaloids.  However, one
must
always consider the individuality of the ibogaine experience.

One of the earliest observations in the modern ibogaine period (post 1950)
was Schneider’s discovery that ibogaine potentiates opiate analgesia and
toxicity.  You can go to Chris Jenks’ wonderful collection of ibogaine
documents
http://www.puzzlepiece.org/ibogaine/literature/iborefs.html and scroll
down to
Schneider’s patent and download a pdf of United States patent, (December
24,
1957), 2,817,623.  Jenks has done a wonderful job of archiving
ibogaine/iboga
alkaloid articles and mp3 files, http://www.puzzlepiece.org/ibogaine/

Again, me to Sean,
I’m thrilled to hear you’re about to undergoes this experience. Just
remember to breath deeply when you find yourself tensing up, angry or
uncomfortable. It will pass, and it’s worth it getting through it to the
other side, without resorting to the opiates I think.
I feel a little weird though, still using minimal amounts of opiates,
but really, they seem to be doing exactly what they’re supposed to- at
prescribed doses.
I’m a little worried about when I go back and see my pain doc, in
another week and a half. One part of me of course is planning on telling him
something about what happened so he’ll understand why I’m asking for
drastically reduced amounts of both drugs- but I LOVE SHOOTING UP. I mean
it, I have always, ever since my car accident as a teenager, loved needles
and blood in rigs and on walls and everywhere, soooo. I admit- I’m a bit
nervous about how I’m going to handle that hurdle when it arrives, but
what’s that saying “they” always say? One day at a time? Yeah that’s the
ticket.
So my point is I do not want to start shooting my dilaudids again, but I
don’t want to not have them around as a break through resort.
SIgh.
Anyway, love and all,
Peace,
Preston

Leading doctor agrees:  Ibogaine has a 100% success
rate!

To provide a concise summation of the Ibogaine

of Taberanthe iboga
over an extended period of time; will eventually be
healed, driven
completely insane, or O.D.  In any case, your

to provide conclusive proof of this theory;
preliminary pre-clinical
studies seem to strongly suggest that drug-dependent

getting fucked-up on hallucinogens and detoxing
painlessly — over
sweating and shaking for 3 months.  Although these
findings are
unprecedented and highly unexpected, we’re confident
that we can
accumulate sufficient documentation to prove this

I tried a lot of fruit yesterday, and a plum too, but nothing seems to

I’m a little afraid of ex-lax, but is that safe enough for me, if I

kilograms, probably lighter now since the session. We gave you two and a
half milligrams per kilogram which is 160 milligrams as a test dose. Then,
again 40-45 minutes later, you received 896 milligrams of ibogaine, not
even
quite a gram, which equates to 14 more milligrams per kilogram per body
weight for a total of 16 and a half. Then down the road we finally managed
to give you a booster then yet another, both 3 milligrams per kilogram of
192 each. So you got 160, 896, plus 896, plus 192 plus 192, equals to 22
and
a half of milligrams per kilogram of ibogaine. 64 times 22 and a half is
how
much ibogaine hydrocloride you received.”

22.5 milligrams per kilogram
AT
64 kilograms body weight
=
1440 kilograms total.

Hope this clear up anyone else’s confusion as it has mine.
Peace and love, and oh yeah, some more tidbits to chew on, for those who
might be interested. Everyone else, that ol’ delete button will work just
finely.
I’m still seeing incredibly vivid, multicolored trails, off of everything,
even those things which really, really are not moving but still leaving
great trails anyway.
Marc C came by today to visit, we went across the street and sat on
the
benches in the playground watching trails and gathering clouds. I tried to
walk him to the train, but seeing how difficult walking down the 5 floors
to
the ground level from my apartement I decided across the street from MARS
BAR (hey Patrick, a blast from the recent past eh? It’s the SAME as
ALWAYS.
LOL) was far enough, said aduie and returned to fall to the bed- only to
discover that SLEEP wasn’t going to be happening, and here it is at 2:18
and
darn it sleep STILL isn’t happening. But it’s cool, I feel manic, so why
not
go with it.
I definitely hit that “glow” state this evening, whereas this morning
was the first time able to even make it out the apartment, much less down
a
couple blocks.
But then I came home and began eating. FIrst a piece of toast. Then
two
pieces of French toast. Then a banana. Then a grillled turkey and cheese
sandwhich.
THen I coasted, still fucking unable to sleep, but growing less
irritable and more “gee, I’m feeling pretty peachy for having on Saturday
crushing and swallowing 8 or 9 ms-contin 30s, right up to 12:30 Sunday
morning and having managed only 2 all day today, one at 8AM and one at 5
PM-
yesterday now I realize.
So after coasting, and helping V get through one of those “holy shit I
was on set for 12 hours today and half to do it again tomorrow at 5AMM
rant
spells, we got dressed and went and stuffed our faces with at one of her
good friend’s birthday parties at this aMAzing chiese resturant, and well,
one of the people eating with us is a director for some hotshot agency
here
in Manhattan, and another, the boyfriend of V’s friend owns a bar where I
can throw the release party for Under the Influence- The Disinformation
Guide to Drugs, that book I keep saying over and over how I’ve just
finished
editing (it went to the printers last Monday btw, if I didn’t mention
that.
So everyone else drank two two HUGE bottles of sake, while I sat there
eating and glowing and laughing and not hurting too bad (one ms-contin and
my back has this nifty pillow in it between me and my pain) and I’ wasn’t
not at all feeling dopy or much, much worse, dope sick, just tripping
nicley
and calming, as though on mushrooms or something. The BEST part was
TELLING
everyone at the table about how I’d just spent the weekend flat on my back
unable to walk thanks to this African root stuff for my pain pills habits.
And they were all fascinated.
LOLOLOL!
Howard you are right in that my provider and the others helping were
all
very brave to allow me to take it. I was genuinely worried that when I
started listing my physical problems- which really aren’t obvious when I’m
dressed but with my shirt off boy people can’t help but stare and ask
“what
the hell happened to you?!?!- but I didn’t know what the hell I was going
to
do if they turned me down.
AND, you know what else? I spoke just a bit WAY too soon. I wanna go
again.
QUESTION- if someone had one booster still that they hadn’t taken, but
were already taken very small and limited amounts of opiate pain killers,
would they have to again wait until even that small amount left their
system
before eating the booster, or is it safe to eat it, say, oh, tomorrow?
SHould, um, someone, wait a while first? When should it be eaten?
IF I did wanna go again sometime sooner than later, how long would it
be
feasible to wait?
That’s still a pretty big if, but I feel so good NOW that hell, you
were
all right, and sure you can remind me of my earlier scardicattedness.
What a lightweight wuss I am.
:-)))
Ok, now let’s see if I can describe the ibogaine trip itself soon.
That’s my next rantlike project.
At first there was the aforementioned in previous post about ear
keening, louder and louder. While that was just starting, I noticed that
the
TURNED OFF light fixture on the ceiling suddenly had this weird silver
liquidish ring around it’s rim, and I began to see what looked like water
inside the thing (I Had O-Rang playing softly, which is my very favorite
shroom music so I figured, rightly it turned out, that’s what I wanted on
rather than the almost insisted on silence. LOL!) and it was looking like
the ceiling was starting to throb or bob a little.
Then I don’t know what happened. I kinda feel asleep for a little bit.
But for some while, almost an hour, I was getting more and more bummed,
and
kept having to get back up and go to pee in the bathroom. One sitter kept
getting worried I was gonna spew (never did, thanks Patrick and all for
spew-stopping advice) and the second of thrid time I came back into the
blanketed off and darkened room I sat down and smoked some of a cigarette.
Then as I lay down, I was off. The room was moving, I wasn’t, or as little
as possible (though I did manage to LEAP out of bed in a fury at around 36
hours without opiates, when first waking out of the first round of massive
tripping out of my body/roiom/head/planet/into space at some vast freakin
distance from the sever opiate withdrawals I was suddenly being beaten to
a
pulp by- I at that point was thinking how the ibogaine was somehow acting
as
a skin between me and my withdrawals, making them for me, but at that
point
the ibogaine had moved outside the withdrawing sking and was holding it
closer than ever to me and it SUCKED!- at “How DARE they wanna give me
MORE
of that SHIT oh my GOD they’ve got a CAbinate fULL of Pills, why can’t I
have my painkillers NOW!!! I don’t wanna that shit in my any more
arghghghghgH!!!!” Without throwing up either.)
So anyway, once I was really taking off, I was seeing liquid metal
everywhere off everything, very similarly to how I’m still seeing things
to
be honest.
I kept looking for a big silver screen to pop up, but one sitter had
made sure to tell me, in all innocence, “oh, yeah, one or two people have
said they didn’t see any movies,” which immediately made me thing,
“:GReeat,
that’ll be ME of course” but as I’ve noted earlier elsewhere, they ain’t
exactly movies. I was in them.l
I was seeing these huge cities was out in time and space somewhere,
like
I said, with these three gods sleeping in these cryogenic type coffins or
boxes. And I was supposed to wake them, or someone was, to get them to
combine (wonder triplets powers activated?) togewther to save humanity,
whose time was ending if they couldn’t bring forth this thing- what it was
I
couldn’t tell because it didn’t make it all the way out before the end
came,
and destroyed everything, including this beautiful cloud like, almost
fetus
looking thing but not all icky, just pure white silver light- but this
darkness, this whole in space ate it all, these gods, all their peoples,
and
me.
(Oh, and btw, The Cure’s Pornography is one hell of an awesome CD to
listen to in this condition, as I’m doing now.)
Then as I think I’ve mentioned, I was in the warzone in Iraq, and I
just
can’t understand how those people are surviving sane in that condition.
What
in the hell must they be suffering through day after day, going out to
KILL
each other every single freakin’ day
I read something of Patrick’s recently that mentioned face first into
a
meat grinder, and that’s what I kept seeing, only with machine guns, and
other armaments, and just sheer fear and terror and despair, becauise NO
ONE
WOULD STOP! Even knowing that it isn’t helping, and isn’t solving
anything,
only creating more death and fear and despair, well, it wasn’t pretty. But
it was FASCINATING. AMAZING. I Love Tripping a LOT, and always have, and
have done one hell of a lot of drugs-
which reminds me, and I’m glad I remembered this- early on it reminded me
VEry much of salvia divinorum. ANd I mean a LOT. The same weird keening
sound but not nearly as loud on Salvia, and that feeling of a presense
just
up and to my right, or was it left? One of those directions. Salvia is
MUICH
less strong, but still, there were some similartities, especially thinking
of the last time I tried salvia- which lol gives me an idea. Wonder how
it’d
mix with my current state?
It isn’t NOT illegal yet is it?
I don’t Think so, but is it? Actually, didn’t they recently schedule
the
stuff, those fuckers!
I really don’t like prohibitionists.
The only really, really bad part was, besides having to sit on the
side
of the bed and piss huge amounts of weird colored pee that just wouldn’t
stop coming for hours…wellll, a few minutes but still… was that waking
up at the 24 hour into the trip part, where all I wanted was some fucking
dope/painkillers/OPIATES.
That part was fucking hell. But I’ve been hearing lately that many
people seem to be angry at that point in the experience, not usually
entirely happy, But I’ve only been hearing that recently, and granted from
a
select set of folk too.
Ok, I’m sending this out unedited or reread, pure outta my skull and
onto the pag…errr, screen thing.
Have a nice day all. Happy..Thursday? I keep screwing up the days,
thinking today was already thursday and we should now be on Friday- but
that’s not right, so never mind me, and heck, still have a good day
whatever
day it turns out to be.
Peace and love AGAIN,
L:OL

Rejoice the ibogaine traveling circus.  Rejoice of that which moves

ibogaine.

I’m getting stranger and stranger.

Howard, you sho do bE.

<Clearing Throat> I would like to take this momenT to read my ORIGINAL
tesTimonial(S) — which was harshly CENSORED and deemed INAPPROPRIATE,
in days gone by (Wiping tears from eyeS).  Ahum:

Dude man, ibogaine rox like an ox, everyone should do a whole bunch of
it.  It’s way-cool and un-springs you without gettin’ crunched.  It
should be dumped from helicopters onto inner-cities, mixed into the
water supply, and added to children’s vitamins.

— D.F., Pig’s Knuckle, Idaho

After years of time spent fruitlessly trying to hammer square pegs into
round holes, and experiencing generalized feelings of malaise and ennui
akin to that of a flock of hummingbirds trying to hover in a windy
room; ibogaine was like a collection of brightly-colored pebbles under
a waterfall — it has flipped a switch in my head and shed light upon
the vast dark night of my soul.  This makes me feel all warm and
smooshy inside, and saves a bunch on electric bills.

— S.T., Japan

Leading doctor agrees:  Ibogaine has a 100% success rate!

To provide a concise summation of the Ibogaine experience: any drug
addict who is administered a sufficiently high dose of Taberanthe iboga
over an extended period of time; will eventually be healed, driven
completely insane, or O.D.  In any case, your primary problem is no
longer drug addiction.

I personally do not have any such problem, I use cocaine hydrochloride
because it’s good for me.

— S.F., Austria

While further research is needed, and we currently lack adequate data
to provide conclusive proof of this theory; preliminary pre-clinical
studies seem to strongly suggest that drug-dependent patients prefer
getting fucked-up on hallucinogens and detoxing painlessly — over
sweating and shaking for 3 months.  Although these findings are
unprecedented and highly unexpected, we’re confident that we can
accumulate sufficient documentation to prove this hypothesis, by
rounding up the wandering lunatics and getting them to sit down and
play connect-the-dots on 6 feet of questionnaires.

“We’d like to attach another 13 pieces of hardware to you.  D’ya mind?”

— Ibogaine Research Project / Planet Earth (I Think)

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I feel much better now.

WooOOO Hhooo0 (astinG oFf the dem0nz frum people is such a fuckin’

Thank you all for the information and caring support.  One of the emails
said if I had the money to travel or whatever, then why not do ibogaine?
I tell you brother, if it was that easy, I’d do it.  A loved one is paying
my way to go live with them in the middle of nowhere so I can kick.  And
in that middle of nowhere place it is virtually impossible to obtain dope.
Like I stated in the original email if I don’t have access to the dope
then I won’t do it.  But if I do have access and try to kick, then after
the first 24 hours I’ll be out on the streets scoring.<

God do I feel for you. I’ve done this type of kicking too many time to ever
want to face it again- although I do not ever say never. I guess.
Peace and best of luck and wishes to you in this. That is a big decision to
undertake, and it’s gonna hurt.
Wishing you the best of well.

It will still be a little while before I leave, but, I am going to see
what I can do about trying to dose with ibo.  See what exactly my options
are.  I don’t want to go through what I did last time.  So I’m going to
see what I can do.  If it’s possible, then ovcourse, I’d do it.

It’s also kinda funny some of you on the list know about the Tenderloin
(any junky in SF does).  What a place.  The Tenderloin and the Mission
district; there is a love hate relationship between us.  It’s also where I
learned most of the Spanish I know 😉

Anyway folks, thanks again and whatever happens ill let yas know.  I’ve
been on the list forever and don’t plan on leaving.

n.

Dear List,
I’m kicking again.  Last time I had to do this I swore to myself I would
never do it again, but on a recent half year business trip to “The City”
(San Francisco / Where I currently am) I gave into the temptation again
and got hooked.  Junk is on every street corner in the Tenderloin (the
“hood” in SF, if that’s what you call it).  I don’t know why I started
again but I fucked up and we all tend to do that time and again.
Anyways, fact is, I’ve been using everyday for six months now and once
again I’m fucked up and hooked.  If I go 24 hours without I fell like I
pile of shit.  A really big pile of shit.  Well, my time is up here and
I’m going to be leaving to a place where I can NOT obtain dope.  That is
the only way I know I can kick, if I go somewhere where I know I CAN’T
get
it.  That is how I did it last time.
Last time I kicked I cold turkeyed.  No codeine based medications, no
methadone (the devil) – all I took was Valium, Somas, Clonazapam 2mg,
Ambien, and a majority of those other pills you see in your email box as
spam.  Basically pills that would get me through without anything that
would feed my junk receptors.  I just sat in a friend’s basement with
some
Skinny Puppy playing ambiently in the background and sweat the shit out
of
me until I was well.

This time around I would like some advice from you fine folks for
various
over the counter, NON codeine based (duh) pain medications that works
BEST
for _back_ and _joint pain_.  Also, maybe some of you know some
prescription based pain medications that work great for kicking that
does
not feed heroin craving receptors.

Well, OK folks any advice would be great.  Unlike last time I kicked
where
I took all the previously mentioned pharmaceuticals all I did was
basically go into a week and a half coma, but this time I want something
for the pain.  So, I would greatly appreciate any help given.

I’ve been on this list for a really, really long time and enjoy reading
everybody’s various experiences.  I think that the people that are
educated enough towards the subject of getting off this devil of a drug
are doing a great service to others.

God bless you all and thank you in advance.

Hi Jim,

From what a friend told me, Beth Israel NYC offers the meth step down
approach, but they never seem to begin at a high enough dose to ease the
initial withdrawal, so must check out pronto and score some H.

I have done some research on the web which would suggest that private
physicians can prescribe a compete set of withdrawal aids:subutex, klonodine
and trazadone.
I understand that at a later state suboxone is usually thrown in.  Finding a
doctor who will do it seems like a challenge, but your doc seems pretty open
minded.  Maybe he’ll do it?

And thanks for the kind word.  I will know tonight I hope if ibogaine is in
my really near future.

According to someone I know, he said that “At 140 pounds, you are 64
kilograms, probably lighter now since the session. We gave you two and a
half milligrams per kilogram which is 160 milligrams as a test dose. Then,
again 40-45 minutes later, you received 896 milligrams of ibogaine, not even
quite a gram, which equates to 14 more milligrams per kilogram per body
weight for a total of 16 and a half. Then down the road we finally managed
to give you a booster then yet another, both 3 milligrams per kilogram of
192 each. So you got 160, 896, plus 896, plus 192 plus 192, equals to 22 and
a half of milligrams per kilogram of ibogaine. 64 times 22 and a half is how
much ibogaine hydrocloride you received.”

22.5 milligrams per kilogram
AT
64 kilograms body weight
=
1440 kilograms total.

Hope this clear up anyone else’s confusion as it has mine.
Peace and love, and oh yeah, some more tidbits to chew on, for those who
might be interested. Everyone else, that ol’ delete button will work just
finely.
I’m still seeing incredibly vivid, multicolored trails, off of everything,
even those things which really, really are not moving but still leaving
great trails anyway.
Marc C came by today to visit, we went across the street and sat on the
benches in the playground watching trails and gathering clouds. I tried to
walk him to the train, but seeing how difficult walking down the 5 floors to
the ground level from my apartement I decided across the street from MARS
BAR (hey Patrick, a blast from the recent past eh? It’s the SAME as ALWAYS.
LOL) was far enough, said aduie and returned to fall to the bed- only to
discover that SLEEP wasn’t going to be happening, and here it is at 2:18 and
darn it sleep STILL isn’t happening. But it’s cool, I feel manic, so why not
go with it.
I definitely hit that “glow” state this evening, whereas this morning
was the first time able to even make it out the apartment, much less down a
couple blocks.
But then I came home and began eating. FIrst a piece of toast. Then two
pieces of French toast. Then a banana. Then a grillled turkey and cheese
sandwhich.
THen I coasted, still fucking unable to sleep, but growing less
irritable and more “gee, I’m feeling pretty peachy for having on Saturday
crushing and swallowing 8 or 9 ms-contin 30s, right up to 12:30 Sunday
morning and having managed only 2 all day today, one at 8AM and one at 5 PM-

So after coasting, and helping V get through one of those “holy shit I
was on set for 12 hours today and half to do it again tomorrow at 5AMM rant
spells, we got dressed and went and stuffed our faces with at one of her
good friend’s birthday parties at this aMAzing chiese resturant, and well,
one of the people eating with us is a director for some hotshot agency here
in Manhattan, and another, the boyfriend of V’s friend owns a bar where I
can throw the release party for Under the Influence- The Disinformation
Guide to Drugs, that book I keep saying over and over how I’ve just finished
editing (it went to the printers last Monday btw, if I didn’t mention that.
So everyone else drank two two HUGE bottles of sake, while I sat there
eating and glowing and laughing and not hurting too bad (one ms-contin and
my back has this nifty pillow in it between me and my pain) and I’ wasn’t
not at all feeling dopy or much, much worse, dope sick, just tripping nicley
and calming, as though on mushrooms or something. The BEST part was TELLING
everyone at the table about how I’d just spent the weekend flat on my back
unable to walk thanks to this African root stuff for my pain pills habits.
And they were all fascinated.
LOLOLOL!
Howard you are right in that my provider and the others helping were all
very brave to allow me to take it. I was genuinely worried that when I
started listing my physical problems- which really aren’t obvious when I’m
dressed but with my shirt off boy people can’t help but stare and ask “what
the hell happened to you?!?!- but I didn’t know what the hell I was going to
do if they turned me down.
AND, you know what else? I spoke just a bit WAY too soon. I wanna go
again.
QUESTION- if someone had one booster still that they hadn’t taken, but
were already taken very small and limited amounts of opiate pain killers,
would they have to again wait until even that small amount left their system
before eating the booster, or is it safe to eat it, say, oh, tomorrow?
SHould, um, someone, wait a while first? When should it be eaten?
IF I did wanna go again sometime sooner than later, how long would it be
feasible to wait?
That’s still a pretty big if, but I feel so good NOW that hell, you were
all right, and sure you can remind me of my earlier scardicattedness.
What a lightweight wuss I am.
:-)))
Ok, now let’s see if I can describe the ibogaine trip itself soon.
That’s my next rantlike project.
At first there was the aforementioned in previous post about ear
keening, louder and louder. While that was just starting, I noticed that the
TURNED OFF light fixture on the ceiling suddenly had this weird silver
liquidish ring around it’s rim, and I began to see what looked like water
inside the thing (I Had O-Rang playing softly, which is my very favorite
shroom music so I figured, rightly it turned out, that’s what I wanted on
rather than the almost insisted on silence. LOL!) and it was looking like
the ceiling was starting to throb or bob a little.
Then I don’t know what happened. I kinda feel asleep for a little bit.
But for some while, almost an hour, I was getting more and more bummed, and
kept having to get back up and go to pee in the bathroom. One sitter kept
getting worried I was gonna spew (never did, thanks Patrick and all for
spew-stopping advice) and the second of thrid time I came back into the
blanketed off and darkened room I sat down and smoked some of a cigarette.
Then as I lay down, I was off. The room was moving, I wasn’t, or as little
as possible (though I did manage to LEAP out of bed in a fury at around 36
hours without opiates, when first waking out of the first round of massive
tripping out of my body/roiom/head/planet/into space at some vast freakin
distance from the sever opiate withdrawals I was suddenly being beaten to a
pulp by- I at that point was thinking how the ibogaine was somehow acting as
a skin between me and my withdrawals, making them for me, but at that point
the ibogaine had moved outside the withdrawing sking and was holding it
closer than ever to me and it SUCKED!- at “How DARE they wanna give me MORE
of that SHIT oh my GOD they’ve got a CAbinate fULL of Pills, why can’t I
have my painkillers NOW!!! I don’t wanna that shit in my any more
arghghghghgH!!!!” Without throwing up either.)
So anyway, once I was really taking off, I was seeing liquid metal
everywhere off everything, very similarly to how I’m still seeing things to
be honest.
I kept looking for a big silver screen to pop up, but one sitter had
made sure to tell me, in all innocence, “oh, yeah, one or two people have
said they didn’t see any movies,” which immediately made me thing, “:GReeat,
that’ll be ME of course” but as I’ve noted earlier elsewhere, they ain’t
exactly movies. I was in them.l
I was seeing these huge cities was out in time and space somewhere, like
I said, with these three gods sleeping in these cryogenic type coffins or
boxes. And I was supposed to wake them, or someone was, to get them to
combine (wonder triplets powers activated?) togewther to save humanity,
whose time was ending if they couldn’t bring forth this thing- what it was I
couldn’t tell because it didn’t make it all the way out before the end came,
and destroyed everything, including this beautiful cloud like, almost fetus
looking thing but not all icky, just pure white silver light- but this
darkness, this whole in space ate it all, these gods, all their peoples, and
me.
(Oh, and btw, The Cure’s Pornography is one hell of an awesome CD to
listen to in this condition, as I’m doing now.)
Then as I think I’ve mentioned, I was in the warzone in Iraq, and I just
can’t understand how those people are surviving sane in that condition. What
in the hell must they be suffering through day after day, going out to KILL
each other every single freakin’ day
I read something of Patrick’s recently that mentioned face first into a
meat grinder, and that’s what I kept seeing, only with machine guns, and
other armaments, and just sheer fear and terror and despair, becauise NO ONE
WOULD STOP! Even knowing that it isn’t helping, and isn’t solving anything,
only creating more death and fear and despair, well, it wasn’t pretty. But
it was FASCINATING. AMAZING. I Love Tripping a LOT, and always have, and
have done one hell of a lot of drugs-
which reminds me, and I’m glad I remembered this- early on it reminded me
VEry much of salvia divinorum. ANd I mean a LOT. The same weird keening
sound but not nearly as loud on Salvia, and that feeling of a presense just
up and to my right, or was it left? One of those directions. Salvia is MUICH
less strong, but still, there were some similartities, especially thinking
of the last time I tried salvia- which lol gives me an idea. Wonder how it’d
mix with my current state?
It isn’t NOT illegal yet is it?
I don’t Think so, but is it? Actually, didn’t they recently schedule the
stuff, those fuckers!
I really don’t like prohibitionists.
The only really, really bad part was, besides having to sit on the side
of the bed and piss huge amounts of weird colored pee that just wouldn’t
stop coming for hours…wellll, a few minutes but still… was that waking
up at the 24 hour into the trip part, where all I wanted was some fucking
dope/painkillers/OPIATES.
That part was fucking hell. But I’ve been hearing lately that many
people seem to be angry at that point in the experience, not usually
entirely happy, But I’ve only been hearing that recently, and granted from a
select set of folk too.
Ok, I’m sending this out unedited or reread, pure outta my skull and
onto the pag…errr, screen thing.
Have a nice day all. Happy..Thursday? I keep screwing up the days,
thinking today was already thursday and we should now be on Friday- but
that’s not right, so never mind me, and heck, still have a good day whatever
day it turns out to be.
Peace and love AGAIN,
L:OL

After years of time spent fruitlessly trying to hammer square pegs
into
round holes, and experiencing generalized feelings of malaise and
ennui
akin to that of a flock of hummingbirds trying to hover in a windy

room; ibogaine was like a collection of brightly-colored pebbles
under
a waterfall — it has flipped a switch in my head and shed light
upon
the vast dark night of my soul.  This makes me feel all warm and

smooshy inside, and saves a bunch on electric bills.

Leading doctor agrees:  Ibogaine has a 100% success rate!

To provide a concise summation of the Ibogaine experience: any drug

addict who is administered a sufficiently high dose of Taberanthe
iboga
over an extended period of time; will eventually be healed, driven

completely insane, or O.D.  In any case, your primary problem is
no
longer drug addiction.

I personally do not have any such problem, I use cocaine hydrochloride

because it’s good for me.

— S.F., Austria

While further research is needed, and we currently lack adequate
data
to provide conclusive proof of this theory; preliminary pre-clinical

studies seem to strongly suggest that drug-dependent patients prefer

getting fucked-up on hallucinogens and detoxing painlessly — over

sweating and shaking for 3 months.  Although these findings are

unprecedented and highly unexpected, we’re confident that we can

accumulate sufficient documentation to prove this hypothesis, by

rounding up the wandering lunatics and getting them to sit down
and
play connect-the-dots on 6 feet of questionnaires.

Dear List,
I’m kicking again.  Last time I had to do this I swore to myself I would
never do it again, but on a recent half year business trip to “The City”
(San Francisco / Where I currently am) I gave into the temptation again
and got hooked.  Junk is on every street corner in the Tenderloin (the
“hood” in SF, if that’s what you call it).  I don’t know why I started
again but I fucked up and we all tend to do that time and again.
Anyways, fact is, I’ve been using everyday for six months now and once
again I’m fucked up and hooked.  If I go 24 hours without I fell like I
pile of shit.  A really big pile of shit.  Well, my time is up here and
I’m going to be leaving to a place where I can NOT obtain dope.  That is
the only way I know I can kick, if I go somewhere where I know I CAN’T get
it.  That is how I did it last time.
Last time I kicked I cold turkeyed.  No codeine based medications, no
methadone (the devil) – all I took was Valium, Somas, Clonazapam 2mg,
Ambien, and a majority of those other pills you see in your email box as
spam.  Basically pills that would get me through without anything that
would feed my junk receptors.  I just sat in a friend’s basement with some
Skinny Puppy playing ambiently in the background and sweat the shit out of
me until I was well.

This time around I would like some advice from you fine folks for various
over the counter, NON codeine based (duh) pain medications that works BEST
for _back_ and _joint pain_.  Also, maybe some of you know some
prescription based pain medications that work great for kicking that does
not feed heroin craving receptors.

Well, OK folks any advice would be great.  Unlike last time I kicked where
I took all the previously mentioned pharmaceuticals all I did was
basically go into a week and a half coma, but this time I want something
for the pain.  So, I would greatly appreciate any help given.

I’ve been on this list for a really, really long time and enjoy reading
everybody’s various experiences.  I think that the people that are
educated enough towards the subject of getting off this devil of a drug
are doing a great service to others.

God bless you all and thank you in advance.

Marc,

Hang in there buddy. Take a couple extra strength motrin, they actually work when you are clean.

resist the urge for the big H.

If in fact you do find yourself back in the cooker, be very very careful. I’m sure like a dozen people have ‘splained this to you ad nauseum. But I’ll say it again. Don’t even consider shooting anything more than like a 1/10-1/8th of what you used to. start from there. Your brain is reset and you’re receptors are flooded with Noribogaine. shooting half a bundle or even a couple bags could be deadly. especially if you cop a rightious bag. This is how most of the “ibo” deaths occur.

better yet, don’t do any dope and ride the waves. they will come and go. Chances are you don’t feel like a spring chicken just yet. Give yourself some time to rest and recover. It was a slow process for me.

Drink a lot of water.

you’ve come a long way already. If you need a sympathetic ear write me direct and I’ll give you my phone number.

Peace,

When you said you are sick of being positive I was not sure if you meant HIV+.  Anyway I’m in the NYC area and would be glad to talk on the phone too if you like.
Send a private email and I will send you the number.  Seems like August is quite a month for ibo and NY metro.

Please hang in, visit Preston, post, bitch, do what you gotta.  I know I’m not alone in saying we are here for you.

Hi Jim,

From what a friend told me, Beth Israel NYC offers the meth step down approach, but they never seem to begin at a high enough dose to ease the initial withdrawal, so must check out pronto and score some H.

I have done some research on the web which would suggest that private physicians can prescribe a compete set of withdrawal aids:subutex, klonodine and trazadone.
I understand that at a later state suboxone is usually thrown in.  Finding a doctor who will do it seems like a challenge, but your doc seems pretty open minded.  Maybe he’ll do it?

And thanks for the kind word.  I will know tonight I hope if ibogaine is in my really near future.

Dulcalax suppository, the generic name is Biscodyl suppository. Results in 30 minutes to 1 hour. I prefer suppository as I feel I have more control over it. When you take something by mouth you just have to sit tight until ‘it’ is out of your system be it 4 hours, 8 hours or 12 hours.

It did help, with the serious withdrawals I woke up into, along with
agonizing pains in my back and leg, which is where my pain is all at anyway.
I rolled around groaning and bitching and feeling as though I’d brought back
evil demons in me for quite some time- but after that one Valium 10, I
decided what the hell, I keep hearing this is what happens and how no one
wants to take the 24 hours booster but do anyway eventually, so I eventually
did take it. And, it DID help. I don’t know the measurement, but V has it
marked somewhere. She kept her own details journal it looks like while she
sat for me.
God I love this woman, if you all hadn’t figured that out yet.

Ah Preston,

Your words are fodder for the stomachs of us older iboganauts.  That high
pitch keening you describe in both ears brings smiles to our faces as we
know the
iboga is working.

On walking…to some extent it almost seems like something you have to
learn
again…like being fucked up….but, try not to learn that again.
Practice
walking…it will all come back.

I’d like to put your entire series of descriptions on the Ibogaine Dossier
with your permission and without identifiers.

Thanks and keep reporting.  Glad your are here.  Welcome. Pee well and
prosper.

With warmest regards,

HI all,

I took 2 grams of ibogaine to start with at 2:10 PM on Sunday.
Then I took three more boosters, starting 40 minutes after the
initial
dose.

When taking the first two boosters I still wasn’t really aware of
feeling much at all, and kept thinking as I May have mentioned yesterday
that I kept thinking, “is this IT? Gee, ladida!. LOL.

That diddn’t last very long.

I began hearing a very high pitch keening in both ears.
Then began to notice hallucinations and way serious ataxia (which I’m
still having trouble with today, 4 days later.) I didn’t get any nausea,
but I did eat to Dexadrines about half an hour before taking the first of
hte
ibogaine. I spent hour peeeing gallons into a buket next to the bed,
entirely unable to get to the bathroom at all.

I am stilll seeing very vivid and drastic trails (and I”m not
complaining, honest, it’s just only wanting to go outside and unable
still
to navigate my 5 flights of stairs that kinda bothering me a little, but
again, I’m not complaining. Patience hasn’t always been this particular
druggies strongEST points.)

On the topic of movies, I seem to remember someone asking recently
if i was actually a big silver screen with movie playing on it- Nope,
that’s
not the description you want to keep in mind- or perhaps that just isn’t
how
it happened to me.

The guy who gave it to me told me, again as I noted yesterday, that
not everyone they’re treated over the years actualy sees movies and
nivana
kinds of things. So I was getting a bit concerned that I was going to be
one
of those non-movie types.

I guess I am, because they weren’t at all movies, they were as
Patrick
told me recently, they’re a freakin’ HOLODECK!

I was THERE, in the things, experiencing everything first hand. I
went
way out in space and time (again, sounding mumbo jumbo) but I couldn’t
really affect anything that was happening, other than to try and move out
of the way of one sword fight, gunbattle, bombing, etc.

Not a recreational drug. I think I’ve heard that mentioned. BOY was
that a truism if there ever was one.

As noted, I”m stll having trouble walking around my apartment so
going
outside yet is still a ways off it seems.

I kept trying to tell V I was GOING DJING last night (LOLOLOL) but
then as I walked through the kitchen with the light on a bright, there
were
these grates and fence patterns everywhere, moving very rapidly, one in
particular
right directly between me and V’s DJ deck…so I Took that as SOMEONE
telling me to shut the hell up and lay down because I wasn NOT going
djing
last night- and didn’t as much as I really did want to.

So, I realize this isn’t a flowerly, beautiful report full of stream
of consciousness like stuff, but perhaps that’ll come down the road a
bit.
I’m really trying to make a diary of this on this lists so that anyone
else
who decides they’d like to try this knows what’s in store.

It is not a fun drug, but I have no withdrawals.

I have already taken very small amounts of pain killers (ms-contins),
because while I Haven’t ahabit, I do have serious fucking pain that no
with no opiates in me I am VERY aware of.

But while still very early, I can say that I’ve no desire at aLL to
do my usual 3, 4 5 or 6 at a time. I took two last night becauyse I was
in
agony, scaring V a little but she calmed down quickly when she realized
I really was in control and not  binging, but rather treating the pain
without
seeking a high (I did lay in some poit, but even that at this point isn’t
somethint I’ve smoked a lot of.

I Hope you all don’t mine my posting these rants, but I wanted to
share.
Sooooo, to strip and lay down in my BEd again.

Peace, and love to you all.

Preston

](PS- I keep hearing from people that they too, when first coming out of
the initial main part were very angry with their providers, that like me
they
absolutely did NOT want to take any more boosters, no way in HELL was I
going to put more of that Shite in my body- but after tossing and turning
and taking a valium to help calm me down, I took one booster, which
didn’t
actually seem to help. And it didn’t REALLY make me full on trip again
but I do think it prolonged, it.

One other thing- V told me at one point I began talking, very, very
fast and clearly, in some completley foreign language to anything she
every
heard I do wish she had been able to tape it but our taperecorder it
broken
(WHo
uses tapes anymore anyway,k right?>LOL)

Ok, I’m done and going to bed.

More peace and a whole Lotta Love (which if you play Van Halen’s eruption
right in the quite tripping part of whole lotta love is one of those
really
cool dj tricks I’ve taught myself. Try it, it sound AWEsome.)

I tried a lot of fruit yesterday, and a plum too, but nothing seems to

I’m a little afraid of ex-lax, but is that safe enough for me, if I
eat a very, very small piece of it maybe?

When was the last time you have eaten? Did you move your bowels during the
ibogaine experience.  You are lucky to have had a brave provider who would treat
you with all those missing components since many of the more formal providers
would not.  But, it is good to know.

What did you take for constipation in the past.  Call your doctor and tell
him you are constipated and ask his advice.  Are you compacted?  Call your
doctor.  Get medical advice.  Do you have any other symptoms?  The guy in the UK
who took indra and died in 2000, took a dump and died.  You should be informed.
Call you doctor and ask advice and tell him of any other symptoms.  Abdominal
pain?  Etc?  Possibly, dumping and walking are associated.  Walk and you will
dump…maybe.  Ask you doctors advice re the issue of dumping.

Ah Preston,

Your words are fodder for the stomachs of us older iboganauts.  That high
pitch keening you describe in both ears brings smiles to our faces as we know the
iboga is working.

On walking…to some extent it almost seems like something you have to learn
again…like being fucked up….but, try not to learn that again.  Practice
walking…it will all come back.

I’d like to put your entire series of descriptions on the Ibogaine Dossier
with your permission and without identifiers.

Thanks and keep reporting.  Glad your are here.  Welcome. Pee well and
prosper.

With warmest regards,

Howard

HI all,

I took 2 grams of ibogaine to start with at 2:10 PM on Sunday.
Then I took three more boosters, starting 40 minutes after the initial
dose.

When taking the first two boosters I still wasn’t really aware of
feeling much at all, and kept thinking as I May have mentioned yesterday
that I kept thinking, “is this IT? Gee, ladida!. LOL.

That diddn’t last very long.

I began hearing a very high pitch keening in both ears.
Then began to notice hallucinations and way serious ataxia (which I’m
still having trouble with today, 4 days later.) I didn’t get any nausea,
but I did eat to Dexadrines about half an hour before taking the first of hte
ibogaine. I spent hour peeeing gallons into a buket next to the bed,
entirely unable to get to the bathroom at all.

I am stilll seeing very vivid and drastic trails (and I”m not
complaining, honest, it’s just only wanting to go outside and unable still
to navigate my 5 flights of stairs that kinda bothering me a little, but
again, I’m not complaining. Patience hasn’t always been this particular
druggies strongEST points.)

On the topic of movies, I seem to remember someone asking recently
if i was actually a big silver screen with movie playing on it- Nope, that’s
not the description you want to keep in mind- or perhaps that just isn’t how
it happened to me.

The guy who gave it to me told me, again as I noted yesterday, that
not everyone they’re treated over the years actualy sees movies and nivana
kinds of things. So I was getting a bit concerned that I was going to be one
of those non-movie types.

I guess I am, because they weren’t at all movies, they were as Patrick
told me recently, they’re a freakin’ HOLODECK!

I was THERE, in the things, experiencing everything first hand. I went
way out in space and time (again, sounding mumbo jumbo) but I couldn’t
really affect anything that was happening, other than to try and move out
of the way of one sword fight, gunbattle, bombing, etc.

Not a recreational drug. I think I’ve heard that mentioned. BOY was
that a truism if there ever was one.

As noted, I”m stll having trouble walking around my apartment so going
outside yet is still a ways off it seems.

I kept trying to tell V I was GOING DJING last night (LOLOLOL) but
then as I walked through the kitchen with the light on a bright, there were
these grates and fence patterns everywhere, moving very rapidly, one in
particular
right directly between me and V’s DJ deck…so I Took that as SOMEONE
telling me to shut the hell up and lay down because I wasn NOT going djing
last night- and didn’t as much as I really did want to.

So, I realize this isn’t a flowerly, beautiful report full of stream
of consciousness like stuff, but perhaps that’ll come down the road a bit.
I’m really trying to make a diary of this on this lists so that anyone else
who decides they’d like to try this knows what’s in store.

It is not a fun drug, but I have no withdrawals.

I have already taken very small amounts of pain killers (ms-contins),
because while I Haven’t ahabit, I do have serious fucking pain that no
with no opiates in me I am VERY aware of.

But while still very early, I can say that I’ve no desire at aLL to
do my usual 3, 4 5 or 6 at a time. I took two last night becauyse I was in
agony, scaring V a little but she calmed down quickly when she realized
I really was in control and not  binging, but rather treating the pain
without
seeking a high (I did lay in some poit, but even that at this point isn’t
somethint I’ve smoked a lot of.

I Hope you all don’t mine my posting these rants, but I wanted to share.
Sooooo, to strip and lay down in my BEd again.

Peace, and love to you all.

Preston

the initial main part were very angry with their providers, that like me they
absolutely did NOT want to take any more boosters, no way in HELL was I
going to put more of that Shite in my body- but after tossing and turning
and taking a valium to help calm me down, I took one booster, which didn’t
actually seem to help. And it didn’t REALLY make me full on trip again
but I do think it prolonged, it.

One other thing- V told me at one point I began talking, very, very
fast and clearly, in some completley foreign language to anything she every
heard I do wish she had been able to tape it but our taperecorder it broken
(WHo

Ok, I’m done and going to bed.

what’s safest for someone like me, who only has half his large intestines
and missing a couple feet of small intestines, to take to help me go to the
bathroom? SOrry to be so crude onlist here, but the ibogaine seems to have
stopped up my insides, my bowels anyway, not my bladder at all.
I tried a lot of fruit yesterday, and a plum too, but nothing seems to have
helped yet, and I’m scared to keep eating if I can’t go to the bathroom.
I’m a little afraid of ex-lax, but is that safe enough for me, if I eat
a very, very small piece of it maybe?
Peace,
Preston

The following excerpt is from a chapter from my unpublished manuscript, but
a chapter which is being published in Under the Influence- the
Disinformation Guide to Drugs, edited by ME:

Haircut- Trippin’ Through a Day in a Life

snip-

These long-term residential drug treatment programs are most often geared
towards breaking a person down, shredding them to a state of defenselessness
and malleability, focusing on all their faults and their depravity. Once the
person, already in a weakened state from the drug abuse, has been shattered,
the program sets about putting them back together in its conception of a
responsible, contributing, sane member of society. Re-programming them, if
you will.

It’s having an effect on me already. Allowed to spend the first night in bed
and forgo attending the evening’s meetings and activities, I take advantage
of it, walking up the five flights of stairs as I’m not allowed to use the
elevator yet. On the way up, one of the older residents on his way
downstairs yells at me because my hands are in my pockets, which is also not
allowed. By the time I get upstairs, I’m about to cry I’m so mad. The crash
Juan was so concerned about earlier has arrived, dragging me down into a
depression that’s darker than the moonless night. What have I done? I lie
down and quickly pass out, exhausted.

The next morning I wake up sick. I don’t have a wake-up shot. The light
hurts my eyes because my pupils are again extremely dilated, this time from
lack of opiates. When Juan stops by my bed a few minutes later, I ask him
how long it’s going to be before I get some methadone or something to help
with the withdrawals. Juan looks at me slack jawed.

“Oh, shit. What, you’re not sick, are you?” Juan asks.

“Yeah I’m sick, and I’m going to be a hell of a lot sicker in a little
while.” I don’t understand. What’s the problem here?

“Listen man, you didn’t know? This is a non-medical program. You kick here,
you do it cold turkey. But hey, you got lots of support here. It’ll be OK,”
Juan reassures him. Now it’s me who regards Juan like he’s got a screw
loose, and laugh in his face.

“No way man. I’m not doing this cold, screw that. I’m outta here.”

“No, stick it out a while. At least talk to someone who might be able to
help you first.” Juan implores, sounding almost like he really cares.

snip-

Now I just want to go, to get back outside where I’m making my own choices,
even if most of them are self-destructive and dangerous. I pick up my bag,
and head for the stairs.

“Hey, you gotta sign some papers saying you’re signing out against medical
advice.” The counselor sheds the kindly, concerned uncle stance and starts
to berate me, but I’m having none of it.
“What medical advice? This is a non-medical program, remember? Fuck you. I’m
gone.” I head downstairs, ignoring the councilor’s hollering, and walk out
the front door. The first person I see is a young, long-haired metalhead,
who buys $50 worth of blank paper from me. Then I go and get a fix. I’m not
yet ready to go straight, preferring to fuck around over for a good while
longer. I still has plenty of my youth to burn, and burn it I shall, back in
the Lower East Side again.

End

Look for Under the Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs out in
October 2004 in the US, Canada, and Great Britain.

Peace and love all,
Preston

Hi Jim,

Short term detox from my experience is detox which mainly relies on subutex,
klonodine, and trazadone.  Nurses keep you on schedule.  Fellow inmates with
really bad habits swore this was the most painless detox they ever
experienced.  I was given this protocol at Sunrise House in NJ, but I really
didn’t have a habit so I’m not one to go by.  Everyone I talked to who have
a whopper habit was amazed how little they suffered.

Most 12 step rehabs I have been in gave nothing but motrin, herbal tea and
trazadone for detox.  They believe you should suffer through it.  Sunrise
House, though, while clearly 12 step on the detox side, was not
incompassionate on the detox side like the others I’ve been in.

BTW  I think 12 step is fine for those who it works for as far as that goes.
After 20 years of NA however, I decided it really would never work before,
and unless I want to die a homeless, broke junkie with HIV and hepC (which
is where I was in May this year) I really better try a different route.  I
did attend meetings in San Francisco when I was at that point, but nobody, I
mean nobody would give me the time of day at the NA meetings I attended.  It
was hard to get a hello.  The AA meetings were slightly friendlier.  I know
I smelled, and had a three day beard, but I thought 12 step programs
welcomed people when they are that state..or at least suggest other help.
Just added to my ill feeling toward NA.

I’ve been there with the lists for different purposes, patrick, and whooo
boy are you right that everyone, including me, will cross post like crazy,
creating more and deeper you know what, BUT, for what it’s worth, the
discussion topic of the sacrament list sounds like right up my alley, though
I’m not sure why these things can’t be just as easily discussed here.  I
mean there are threads. Never mind.  Jane (not been writing much lately, but
hi all).

“Patrick K. Kroupa” <digital@phantom.com> wrote:
Okay,

I just sped-read most of the messages that were posted here over the
last two weeks or so… And … right now there is a Sacrament list.
I’m not really clear why we want TWO more ibogaine lists — bringing it
up to a total of three — to light up.

‘Cuz, from past experience, the only thing that will end up happening,
is people will have the same series of conversations across 3 different
lists, accomplishing nothing except creating a big mess.

I think … what’s gonna happen is, Sacrament will be relit (this
actually means a few more flags get thrown on it, and it’s announced
someplace), and it’ll become…

Well, what I leaning towards is a list that is generally geared towards
the discussion of sacramental use(s) of ibogaine; the sharing of
experiences from those who have done it (whether you wanna talk a! bout
the visionary aspects, or how to maintain post-ibogaine, or
whateverTheFuck) and, whatever comes up…

Whereas THIS will remain the central ibogaine list.

I sorta think it’s a poor idea to restrict the Sacrament list to only
those who have already done ibogaine. Partially because it is
exclusionary — and many of the way-fucked do seem to derive a lot of
hope and inspiration from just their awareness of ibogaine, and
interacting with people who have used it to step out of drug
dependence.

But, in addition to all that… I’m not the babysitter or hall
monitor. While I know a lot of you personally, and many of you over
the phone or email or whatever… I have absolutely no way of knowing
if some random person has dosed or not. Maybe they have, maybe they’ve
just read a lot of experience reports, maybe nearly anything…

The bottom line is… If you’re so fragile that reading the tho! ughts
of another person who is still using drugs — which you’ve stopped
doing — will somehow tarnish you, destroy your radiant purity, or make
you relapse… Then possibly you’ve got other things to worry about
rather then whether ALL the people you talk to have done ibogaine.

At the same time I recognize that a lotta people do want to discuss
IBOGAINE, and not hear war stories or junkie coffee talk. So, I think,
the only request will be: please try to respect the purpose of the
Sacrament list, and don’t fill it up with … well, Junkie Coffee Talk
. Because people DO complain about that shit.
“I like THE LIST, buT… Every time I open up my mailbox there are 500
new messages, and then, ThEN, THEN, I *CLICK* and I’m not finding any
ibogaine!@#!!! I, I … I had to eat two Xanax to calm down. It was
awful!!!”

Yeah, well, ya know … therein lies the beauty of using whatever email
client makes! you happy, and learning how to set the filters.

Thusly, to sum it all up: THIS is the main list, temple, chapel,
gathering space, bar, shooting gallery, crackhouse, anti-12-step
meeting, and meat market, all smoOshed together… and Junkie Coffee
Talk is more than welcome; since, above all else, I think we’re a
community.

Try to be respectful that the purpose of the Sacrament list is slightly
different.

If this doesn’t work out, well, we can try sumthin’ else.

If you have input, please give it. If you don’t want to send it out to
the entire list and discuss it, feel free to email me, with “Regarding
Sacrament List” somewhere in the subject line … if you don’t use that
topic, my filters will toss it wherever, and I may never see it. I may
not have time to respond, but I will read it.

Thanks. A junkie from New York,

Patrick

the description you want to keep in mind- or perhaps that just isn’t how it
happened to me.
The guy who gave it to me told me, again as I noted yesterday, that not
everyone they’re treated over the years actualy sees movies and nivana kinds
of things. So I was getting a bit concerned that I was going to be one of
those non-movie types.
I guess I am, because they weren’t at all movies, they were as Patrick
told me recently, they’re a freakin’ HOLODECK!
I was THERE, in the things, experiencing everything first hand. I went
way out in space and time (again, sounding mumbo jumbo) but I couldn’t
really affect anything that was happening, other than to try and move out of
the way of one sword fight, gunbattle, bombing, etc.
Not a recreational drug. I think I’ve heard that mentioned. BOY was that
a truism if there ever was one.
As noted, I”m stll having trouble walking around my apartment so going
outside yet is still a ways off it seems.
I kept trying to tell V I was GOING DJING last night (LOLOLOL) but then
as I walked through the kitchen with the light on a bright, there were these
grates and fence patterns everywhere, moving very rapidly, one in particular
right directly between me and V’s DJ deck…so I Took that as SOMEONE
telling me to shut the hell up and lay down because I wasn NOT going djing
last night- and didn’t as much as I really did want to.
So, I realize this isn’t a flowerly, beautiful report full of stream of
consciousness like stuff, but perhaps that’ll come down the road a bit. I’
m really trying to make a diary of this on this lists so that anyone else
who decides they’d like to try this knows what’s in store.
It is not a fun drug, but I have no withdrawals.
I have already taken very small amounts of pain killers (ms-contins),
because while I Haven’t ahabit, I do have serious fucking pain that no with
no opiates in me I am VERY aware of.
But while still very early, I can say that I’ve no desire at aLL to do
my usual 3, 4 5 or 6 at a time. I took two last night becauyse I was in
agony, scaring V a little but she calmed down quickly when she realized I
really was in control and not  binging, but rather treating the pain without
seeking a high (I did lay in some poit, but even that at this point isn’t
somethint I’ve smoked a lot of.
I Hope you all don’t mine my posting these rants, but I wanted to share.
Sooooo, to strip and lay down in my BEd again.
Peace, and love to you all.
Preston
](PS- I keep hearing from people that they too, when first coming out of the
initial main part were very angry with their providers, that like me they
absolutely did NOT want to take any more boosters, no way in HELL was I
going to put more of that Shite in my body- but after tossing and turning
and taking a valium to help calm me down, I took one booster, which didn’t
actually seem to help. And it didn’t REALLY make me full on trip again but I
do think it prolonged, it.
One other thing- V told me at one point I began talking, very, very fast
and clearly, in some completley foreign language to anything she every heard
I do wish she had been able to tape it but our taperecorder it broken (WHo
uses tapes anymore anyway,k right?>LOL)
Ok, I’m done and going to bed.
More peace and a whole Lotta Love (which if you play Van Halen’s eruption
right in the quite tripping part of whole lotta love is one of those really
cool dj tricks I’ve taught myself. Try it, it sound AWEsome.)

Hi Howard,

I was thinking of educating the Unitarians about ibogaine.  They have active group opposing the War on Drugs, and are interested in issues of class and race.  A treatment which is highly effective, has religious roots, and is virtually inaccessible to those who cannot afford to get out of the country is something I think many UUs would like to learn about and most likely support.

Already doing it w. Rev Ron Sala up in  Connecticut. Call me atg 212-677-4899. One problem is that MPP is at best indifferent to ibo. They’re the ones sponsoring the UU’s for Drug Reform. OTOH, Ron Sala is very interested in the Bwiti/Crucifixion connection.

Yeah I agree. As for me 11 days after Ibogaine I have had a black tongue and the worst diarrhea I could have ever imagined. Not related, a bacteria, but a bitch just the same. Then this morning when I woke up( 3:00am) I realized I had just about the worst headache I’ve ever known. It just won’t stop and I need relief. Switched antibiotics fr5om Cypro to some other shit and although the black tongue se4ems to be getting better now I think I might…. I can’t take this anymore and I’m tired of being positive. I felt like my body was catching up with my mind for the past two weeks and it was an incredible feeling but now I just have the motha of headaches and I can’t seem to think straight let alone hold on to the feeling of wanting to be straight.
Anyone out there? -m.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the answer.  By the way it sounded I thought it was something like they give you methadone like 80 mg one day then 70 the next then 60 etc.  Some know-it-all had a 10% a day detox idea.  It did not not go over that good.  Cause a lot of people a lot of pain.  I was just wondering if you could do it at home?

Your answer could not of come at a better day because today (wed 11th) I will see the bupe doctor and may say to him can you just detox me and let me start all over.  I think my body need a brake from the narcotics because I am building up tolerance.  He just knows about the Lortab and not about the street stuff.   I am only using about $10 on the street now and then but believe it or not it is killer stuff.  If your not used to it, you get fast like speed and if you do it at 10:00 am your up and running until past midnight.  If a non user tried it it may kill ’em.  Since he asked me the last time when I used and I told him $10 (the truth) he feels that I was not trying to get high but get out of pain and gave me Durgestic Patches (Fenatal).

Damn, I don’t know what to do.  Thanks for your answer, it is appreciated.  I just might say to him.  Hey, if I wanted to quite completely how long would it take and see what he says.  There is a chance I will be moving soon so I got the choice – put up with back pain or withdrawal pain.  Damn, sounds like a no-win situation.  Do you know by any chance how long it took for them to detox.

BTW, NA, and all those detox centers (other than maybe Betty Ford) average a 10% success rate.  If NA hasen’t done much in 20 years it is time to try another avenue,  different things work for different people.  You seem to have it together pretty good considering all you have been through.  Keep it up, good buddy.

Wishing you the best,

– JIM

Hi Jim,

Short term detox from my experience is detox which mainly relies on subutex, klonodine, and trazadone.  Nurses keep you on schedule.  Fellow inmates with really bad habits swore this was the most painless detox they ever experienced.  I was given this protocol at Sunrise House in NJ, but I really didn’t have a habit so I’m not one to go by.  Everyone I talked to who have a whopper habit was amazed how little they suffered.

Most 12 step rehabs I have been in gave nothing but motrin, herbal tea and trazadone for detox.  They believe you should suffer through it.  Sunrise House, though, while clearly 12 step on the detox side, was not incompassionate on the detox side like the others I’ve been in.

BTW  I think 12 step is fine for those who it works for as far as that goes.  After 20 years of NA however, I decided it really would never work before, and unless I want to die a homeless, broke junkie with HIV and hepC (which is where I was in May this year) I really better try a different route.  I did attend meetings in San Francisco when I was at that point, but nobody, I mean nobody would give me the time of day at the NA meetings I attended.  It was hard to get a hello.  The AA meetings were slightly friendlier.  I know I smelled, and had a three day beard, but I thought 12 step programs welcomed people when they are that state..or at least suggest other help.
Just added to my ill feeling toward NA.

Hi Preston,

It was no fun, I can believe that.  But you got to remember how much you were doing…Come on… look how much you were using.  We won’t tell how much but we both know the others were using a fraction on what you were.  Also, you did not have much choice, sooner or later they would of cut you off.  That can’t give you a quart of morphine per day for pain, I think there is a law or something about it.

It hurt, you took it, you made it,  now you can get on with the rest of your life.  Hopefully you will not build up such a tolerance to the narcotics.  I have been there, give me a week head start and I will challenge an elephant to a dope shooting match.  You might be better off suffering the pain and using less narcotics, I know easy for me to say, but after a while you can just do ’em and do ’em and the pain is still there.  But you know that.

Glad you made it good buddy,

We used lemon juice or vinegar when cooking morphine pills (MST’s) and opium poppies that we grew or pinched to make a morphine derivative that could be injected.  I don’t understand the exact science of it but am sure there are lots here who do.  I always thought it was to neutralize the raw material.  Allison

Hey Victor. I never did it but lemon juice changes the ‘base’ form of the coke (crack) to an ‘acidic’ version (coke HCL) which is injectable and snortable. oNCE hcl form is chemically converted to a base form, it can only be heated up to achieve euphoria.

Hi Preston,

Pain and withdrawal are interrelated so I would find it difficult to perceive
that ibogaine did not effect your pain issues but, look forward to discussion
in greater detail when you are able.

At fisrt, the person who turned me on told me, right after I took it, that
not everyone “sees” the movies that are so renowned from taking ibogaine.
So i spent the first hour or two thinking, each time it would come on
harder, “is this IT?” GRrr.
But that was silly, as I really went out there. I was seeing things 5000
years in the future, literally the end of time, whereby the people in power
had the possibiliy to save the world, and us, and yet, as beautiful and
godlike as they were they couldn’t help but war amongst  themselves.
Everything explosed, then I was in Iraq, in the cemetary were the huge
battle has been waged for the last few days.
That was no fun either.

BUt I’m alive, no withdrawals, but ibogaine didn’t and I didn’t expect it

Hey dh,

Actually New York.  In San Francisco I spent most nights at the roach and rat infested hotel Baldwin on Sixth Street.  When the money ran out I stayed at shelter on a bedroll (city provided) called Hilda Hutch.  But I screwed that up staying in the hotel for a night (if you miss a night you may not return to the shelter.)

I finally ended up sleeping way downtown by a construction area near the first exit off the bridge.  No blanket.  No bed roll.

Of course sleep had been secondary for most of my SF trip, as I would spend most night high on tar and speed.

Finally took a Greyhound back to NY.  Next to ODing and being robbed (at the same time) Greyhound was definitely the shittiest part of whole adventure. Finding out the dudes I was getting high with were white supremacists was not too cool either.  Especially since I’m a progressive queer atheist with HIV.  I ran away (literally) from those guys.  They went by fun names though, like Irish and Pirate.

Peace
Sean

There is a lovely place called the dungeon below the bowels of 14th street somewhere around Valencia in SF.

Its been a long climb from there to here, but I know it’s only a short fall back down.

Hi Julian,

Some nights when I want to go on a run I look at my warm bed and compare it to a piece of cardboard on 14 street or sleeping under the entrance to the Golden Gate, and I turn off the computer and peacefully doze…urges gone completely.

The patient may remain awake for two or more days; this experience has been characterized as a “rough trip.” Therefore, Ibogaine was not expected to become a desirable recreational drug.”

On the other hand, I don’t want to do LSD tonite either. And I’ve done it 200 times.

Hi Howard,

I was thinking of educating the Unitarians about ibogaine.  They have active group opposing the War on Drugs, and are interested in issues of class and race.  A treatment which is highly effective, has religious roots, and is virtually inaccessible to those who cannot afford to get out of the country is something I think many UUs would like to learn about and most likely support.

Hi Jim,

Short term detox from my experience is detox which mainly relies on subutex, klonodine, and trazadone.  Nurses keep you on schedule.  Fellow inmates with really bad habits swore this was the most painless detox they ever experienced.  I was given this protocol at Sunrise House in NJ, but I really didn’t have a habit so I’m not one to go by.  Everyone I talked to who have a whopper habit was amazed how little they suffered.

Most 12 step rehabs I have been in gave nothing but motrin, herbal tea and trazadone for detox.  They believe you should suffer through it.  Sunrise House, though, while clearly 12 step on the detox side, was not incompassionate on the detox side like the others I’ve been in.

BTW  I think 12 step is fine for those who it works for as far as that goes.  After 20 years of NA however, I decided it really would never work before, and unless I want to die a homeless, broke junkie with HIV and hepC (which is where I was in May this year) I really better try a different route.  I did attend meetings in San Francisco when I was at that point, but nobody, I mean nobody would give me the time of day at the NA meetings I attended.  It was hard to get a hello.  The AA meetings were slightly friendlier.  I know I smelled, and had a three day beard, but I thought 12 step programs welcomed people when they are that state..or at least suggest other help.
Just added to my ill feeling toward NA.

I’ve been there with the lists for different purposes, patrick, and whooo boy are you right that everyone, including me, will cross post like crazy, creating more and deeper you know what, BUT, for what it’s worth, the discussion topic of the sacrament list sounds like right up my alley, though I’m not sure why these things can’t be just as easily discussed here.  I mean there are threads. Never mind.  Jane (not been writing much lately, but hi all).

“Patrick K. Kroupa” <digital@phantom.com> wrote:
Okay,

I just sped-read most of the messages that were posted here over the
last two weeks or so… And … right now there is a Sacrament list.
I’m not really clear why we want TWO more ibogaine lists — bringing it
up to a total of three — to light up.

‘Cuz, from past experience, the only thing that will end up happening,
is people will have the same series of conversations across 3 different
lists, accomplishing nothing except creating a big mess.

I think … what’s gonna happen is, Sacrament will be relit (this
actually means a few more flags get thrown on it, and it’s announced
someplace), and it’ll become…

Well, what I leaning towards is a list that is generally geared towards
the discussion of sacramental use(s) of ibogaine; the sharing of
experiences from those who have done it (whether you wanna talk about
the visionary aspects, or how to maintain post-ibogaine, or
whateverTheFuck) and, whatever comes up…

Whereas THIS will remain the central ibogaine list.

I sorta think it’s a poor idea to restrict the Sacrament list to only
those who have already done ibogaine. Partially because it is
exclusionary — and many of the way-fucked do seem to derive a lot of
hope and inspiration from just their awareness of ibogaine, and
interacting with people who have used it to step out of drug
dependence.

But, in addition to all that… I’m not the babysitter or hall
monitor. While I know a lot of you personally, and many of you over
the phone or email or whatever… I have absolutely no way of knowing
if some random person has dosed or not. Maybe they have, maybe they’ve
just read a lot of experience reports, maybe nearly anything…

The bottom line is… If you’re so fragile that reading the thoughts
of another person who is still using drugs — which you’ve stopped
doing — will somehow tarnish you, destroy your radiant purity, or make
you relapse… Then possibly you’ve got other things to worry about
rather then whether ALL the people you talk to have done ibogaine.

At the same time I recognize that a lotta people do want to discuss
IBOGAINE, and not hear war stories or junkie coffee talk. So, I think,
the only request will be: please try to respect the purpose of the
Sacrament list, and don’t fill it up with … well, Junkie Coffee Talk
. Because people DO complain about that shit.
“I like THE LIST, buT… Every time I open up my mailbox there are 500
new messages, and then, ThEN, THEN, I *CLICK* and I’m not finding any
ibogaine!@#!!! I, I … I had to eat two Xanax to calm down. It was
awful!!!”

Yeah, well, ya know … therein lies the beauty of using whatever email
client makes you happy, and learning how to set the filters.

Thusly, to sum it all up: THIS is the main list, temple, chapel,
gathering space, bar, shooting gallery, crackhouse, anti-12-step
meeting, and meat market, all smoOshed together… and Junkie Coffee
Talk is more than welcome; since, above all else, I think we’re a
community.

Try to be respectful that the purpose of the Sacrament list is slightly
different.

If this doesn’t work out, well, we can try sumthin’ else.

If you have input, please give it. If you don’t want to send it out to
the entire list and discuss it, feel free to email me, with “Regarding
Sacrament List” somewhere in the subject line … if you don’t use that
topic, my filters will toss it wherever, and I may never see it. I may
not have time to respond, but I will read it.

Thanks. A junkie from New York,

Patrick

Could be worse, at least I’m not a basehead … what a buncha fuckin’
lowlifes. Go get sum lemon juice, a cooker and a rig, what’s wrong
with all of you anyway!??!?!

God bless us, everyonE.

Hey Victor. I never did it but lemon juice changes the ‘base’ form of the coke (crack) to an ‘acidic’ version (coke HCL) which is injectable and snortable. oNCE hcl form is chemically converted to a base form, it can only be heated up to achieve euphoria.

Hey List,lively crowd!I thought I’d share a memory I had of my last ibogaine experience,just remembered it last nite.I did my last one at my acupuncturist/friend’s home,didnt have the money to do it in mex.She is in her 20’s ,drinks a little socially,smoked pot once,very innocent but like this old soul kinda person.I had her read a little online & talk to my source,but essentially she really didnt know what to expect.And that was fine ,I knew enough to surrender completely & let the iboga do its deal,knew I’d be fine.Well Im a cat person.She has 3 dogs,Ive really never been around dogs much ,always found them kinda repulsive with the licking & such.When the iboga really started hitting me,she was outside.She noticed her dog started to lay on the ground like she was sick,she was drooling this thick greenish phlegm & had a filmy look over her eyes,she would whimper like she was hurting but wouldnt move,needless to say my frend was freaked.She said the only time she evrer saw that look in anyones eyes was when she’d hike up in the mountains where these junkies would hang out & shoot up heroin.Some time later,she was telling me about this,when I could talk again (you know).As soom as I started reconstituting her dog jumped up & acted like her squirrely self again.The dog & I semed to have a bond after this,she slept with me that nite,my friend said she has never slept with anyone like that before.It was awesome.I gave alot of thought to that episode when I was in the revelatory phase.I was  origonally gonna do the ib at my sisters house.She freaked out & blasted me with this yucky energy ,said I was being irresponsible(shes a total alcoholic rule breaker)It was real out of character,& the way she blasted me was so weird,I thought about energy forces that keep us stuck & the weird look the doggie had in her eyes.Also its  like the dog caught my overflow,but whats up with that sinister look in her eyes?Anyway,thought Id share that ,feels ok with our list to say whatever.Me & the dog still have a bond, I miss looking into her eyes after I havent seen her in a while,like she’s my blood now,wow!

Hey Shelly,

I know excatly what you are talking about.

in the couple months post ibo (first time around) It was as if I was in
a magic bubble. I would go on a walk and look up at the clouds and I
felt as tho I could just reach up and climb aboard them. My perception
of my actions and their effect on the environment around me was
magnified a hundred times. I was super aware, everything was glowing, I
almost felt immortal or something like that. A completely clean slate
like I had just reincarnated in the same life and managed to hold on to
the wisdom the iboga re-taught me.

Then it started to fade, the old patterns returned slowly but surely
and i got pretty depressed. ***What I forgot*** was to continue to do
the work, my aftercare plans fell to the side and I, too went on 2 mini
runs. But as soon as I pulled myself out of the muck and started
working on myself, some of the ibo insights started to resurface, or
unexplainable visions that ibo showed me began to make sense. Exercise
was vital to this process as well. And I still continue to have iboga
moments, 6 years and one small booster dose later.

the path gets narrow, and the issues finer and deeper and oh so fucking
nice to let go of. Its the letting go that is the the hard work. for me
anyhow. Iboga is just the begining, and a damn good refresher if needed.

I’d say keep doing what you are doing. and stay conscious with your
intentions. My experienece is that it does, eventually smooth out.
There will be dips and curves in the road but there are also beautiful
vistas to take in.

I loved reading what you posted to Howard about your experiences, I too
had the ancestral lineage revealed to me back to the first human, and I
also had the Bwiti Elders looking over me, as If I were laid out on
some sort of altar or table… the compassion, wisdom and timelessness
in their eyes was magnificent, set in beautiful contrast to their age
weathered faces. They were all holding sparklers and twirling them in
small circles, as if to urge me onward, over the threshold.

anyhow, you’ve reminded me of some cool stuff. Thanks.

-Dave

Dear Nella,

ahhh… memories.

the TL used to be my main stomping grounds… and when the paddy wagons
were on the prowl… the good ole mission.

perhaps you know Rich the Snitch, or Texas, or my good pal Sergio?

nasty business, shooting that tar.

yet I Digress.

One thing I can say for sure is, wherever you go, there you are.

I’d say Ibogaine would be a grand idea for you. oh, but thats out of
reach… sorry. I wish it weren’t. I really do.

barring that, getting out of town, renting a few dozen good movies,
obtaining a handful of benzo’s and some sleeping aids is what I would
do. And hook up with some folks who are clean during/after your detox.

the pain thing… Its a tough call. Depending on the type of pain,
there is Toridol, vioxx, neurontin, etc.

There is also something called wobenzyme that helps some folks, for a
while at least, which is health food store type material. Mainly helps
with inflamation pain.

I’ve had to deal with pain management post-ibogaine, and have been thru
the entire spectrum.

Preventative measures like exercise and yoga really are the best, but
somehow I never could get in the mood for any of that shit while I was
kicking. something to think about afterwards, tho.

But I will say getting fresh air and sunshine – especially early in the
day- will help with your head space. Basements and skinny puppy aren’t
exactly uplifting.

I would reccomend getting a really good strain of indica and smoke it
when the cravings hit really bad. For me, good indica is kind of like
truth serum, I could never mix it with heroin, it was a conflict of
interest. heroin=Mind numbing and mind-narrowing. indica=mind-inspiring
and mind-expanding. It also helps relax you which in turn helps relieve
pain.

best of luck,

_.dh

p.s. oh yeah, don’t let the noise in your head get louder than the
music in your heart.

Thanks for writing back.  Am not sure that I will ever be able to pronounce it correctly but its another bit of information to file away in the head.  Think I  need to keep exercising the brain instead of using drugs.  Perhaps its because it was in neutral instead of drive for so long & I’m worried about what I might have missed or maybe scared of getting old and ending up senile or alzeimers from opting out for so long in my own fantasy world.   Take care.  Allison

Turkish is the very very dificult language to learn specialy for the latin based language. Turkish has most dificult for pronunciation. (but I’ll try)
addict in Turkish : bagimli (it’s impossible to tell you how to pronounce this word because you have no this “g” type voice in your language. (the other words same meaning is: “müptela”, “tiryaki”)

We (addicted people that who take heroin by syringe) use to call each
others as junkie in Turkish slang. Turkish addicts take the word of junkie
from hippy tourists that passing by Turkey while they were going to the

We used to use diastop which is similar to imodium.  You have to take a few at once.  not good for long term but does help ease the withdrawal pain and make it bearable.  Trouble is the older you get and the more times you put yourself through the shit the harder it gets for the body to take.  Least thats my experience.  Good luck…Allison…PS  I also found sleep a great healer.  The more I slept the quicker time passed to feel better although not always an easy thing to do.

Hi Nella,

Can’t do the Ibo, yea I know, it’s hell being poor.  So you fell of the wagon and gave in to temptation – join the club.  The one thing I learned from detrox and NA (OK, you guys quit screaming) is you got to change your friends that use.  If you hang around with those that use it is usually a matter of time before you start using, of course you know that.

There is really no easy way.  If there was an easy way there were be no detox places.  I hate to say it but your gonna suffer.

They say catapress, a blood pressuer pill, can help but it did not seem to do much for me.  However, I was using about $100 to $150 per day of STRONG stuff.

Valium can help somewhat as can (I imagine) Ambian.  My insurance does not cover Ambian, I wish it did.  If it did I would switch off between it and Restoril.  Restoril is a benzo based sleeping pill they make 15 and 30 mg.  I would say you would need the 30 mg ones.  The Valium can help but as time goes on it gets to be you can take a handful and nothing happens.  The bad part is quitting Valium can cause seizures it may take 10 day for that to occure for Valium has a very long half life so I would strongly suggest tappering off after 5 or so days.  And after 5 or so days it will no longer be helping you since you will have built up a tolerance.

For aches and pains, I have no idea.   Same for the sweats and cold chills.  Of course sleep as much as possible for when your sleeping you are out of pain.  Damn doesn’t time seem to go slow, specially when your up 24 hours for most of the bad part.

My number one favorite is Imodium get generic ones they are cheaper and work the same.  If you read about Imodium in the PDR it says that when given to monkeys in a greater than recommended dose it help stops withdrawal.  However, it does not say how much that is.  I have a spastic colon and take from 4 to 8 per day.  It is the best non narcotic anti-diarrheal pill that I know of.  However, I am not a doctor, nurse or anything like that,  just an addict or junkie who has been through it many times.  A few of my friends went to shrinks and they all seem to give Serax ( a benzo ), catapress and Restoril.  Of course that was many years ago.  A few people may answer your letter and offer some herbs that may help sooth the stomach.  You may go to a health food store and ask or ask a pharmacist what can he give you to help an upset stomach.

I know I was pretty sick for 5 days, just laid in bed and did not eat anything.  The next week I had gas and they gave me simethacone.  That helped quiet a bit, it is embarrassing just farting away.  Then came the sneezing for a week.  And I was freezing my ass off.  I had a shirt and sweater and everyone else was going around in a short sleeve shirt.  They joked and said that’s because they had anti-freeze in them.  I was one sick puppy.  But after two long weeks I started feeling a better.  In fact I remember it took two weeks and two days before I felt normal.  However, I still had trouble sleeping and still had the cravings.  If I could have taken the whole thing over after the 3 weeks and I was out I would of taken Trexan or naltrexan (not narcan which is Naloxone
, but shorting lasting and must be shot up.) most docs will give it to you.  They cost about $3.00 per 50 mg pill and if you take a pill a day you will not feel anything if you shoot up for it is a narcotic antagonist.  Whatever you do don’t use then take a naltrexan for you will experience the worst withdrawal symptoms you ever had – ask anybody on this forum.

You seem to have it down except the Immdium and simethacone.  Maybe some one else will give you another tip or two.

I remember taking a trip to SF and stayed in the Tenderloin 238 Eddie St back between Christmas and New Years Day 1980.  Was there for about a week.  Seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show and China Town.  Crazy to the max.  But the people were nice, you would just meet a guy and next thing one of you would bring out a joint, just like picking up a hitch hicker in the hippie days.  You got some, yea, do you, Yea wanna try mine or yours.

Three guys were gonna mug me I saw it coming so I stopped put my back against the wall and started cleaning my fingernails with a $2.00 knief.  They looked, smilled and kept walking.  They felt it was not worth the hassle, they could find someone else who was not paying attention.  No, I’m not a bad ass, just been around.

Oh, by the way maybe some Rx like Toradole(sp) might help, in detox they offer Robaxin(sp) but it did not seem to help.  If your gonna go to a doc they will give you some Toradole or Robaxin but I doubt if they will give you Valium or Restoril or Ambion, however a shrink may give you a little something like Serax which is about the same as a Valium.

I had to move from Detroit to Texas back in 80 and again in 90.  I find if I go to a place where I don’t know anyone who uses the hard stuff I am better off.  When the stuff is close by, like a one hour ride, the temptation is too strong.  Then also make naltrexon implants that last about 6 months but they are VERY expensive like $400 or so from what I heard.  I would say keep a pill on you  and if you get a craven or get with users drop one right away, wait an hour and you will be fine.

One more word of caution, do not try to override the naltraxon for you will keep doing and doing and not get high, then do once more and die.  I don’t know why, but never try to override the naltraxon.  Of course this is just a layman’s opinion.  But you can ask your doc and see if I’m right.  Better safe than sorry.  Remember, if you die those who care about you will feel the pain.

I wish you the best,

– JIM

Ambien, and a majority of those other pills you see in your email box as
spam. Basically pills that would get me through without anything that
would feed my junk receptors. I just sat in a friend’s basement with some
Skinny Puppy playing ambiently in the background and sweat the shit out of
me until I was well.

This time around I would like some advice from you fine folks for various
over the counter, NON codeine based (duh) pain medications that works BEST
for _back_ and _joint pain_. Also, maybe some of you know some
prescription based pain medications that work great for kicking that does
not feed heroin craving receptors.

Well, OK folks any advice would be great. Unlike last time I kicked where
I took all the previously mentioned pharmaceuticals all I did was
basically go into a week and a half coma, but this time I want something
for the pain. So, I would greatly appreciate any help given.

I’ve been on this list for a really, really long time and enjoy reading

are doing a great service to others.

We used lemon juice or vinegar when cooking morphine pills (MST’s) and opium poppies that we grew or pinched to make a morphine derivative that could be injected.  I don’t understand the exact science of it but am sure there are lots here who do.  I always thought it was to neutralize the raw material.  Allison

Hey Victor. I never did it but lemon juice changes the ‘base’ form of the coke (crack) to an ‘acidic’ version (coke HCL) which is injectable and snortable. oNCE hcl form is chemically converted to a base form, it can only be heated up to achieve euphoria.

Nella, I mean no disrespect but it seems to me that if you have a job and can afford to move like that you could afford an Ibogaine treatment. Personally I would take my travel money and set up with an Ibo provider and let the next thing take care of itself. I feel like if I never get straight I won’t have anything any way so I guess thats just me. I agree with Dave tho, find some good herb, always helped me.    Randy

Sandy,  I’m not sure what you mean by if I was an alcoholic and didn’t get such a good feeling from opiates I would have this beat. I am an alcoholic too as well as a junkie and I can tell you dealing with both sucks. That means that no matter how much the Ibogaine helps me I can never have a glass of wine or anything the rest of my life. I really like GOOD wine and have a brother in the wine biz. I just can never drink again, never, I’ve tried every way it is not possible to ever do it again. Plus I’m a musician and I’m around it all the time. I hope Ibogaine will give me some insight on alcoholism too. Anyway, we all do what we have to and keep going I hope you do too. Keep the faith, Randy

Sean, I agree with you completely about abstinence. When I was homeless, jobless and penniless there was no incentive for me to change. Also, I noticed this with alot of others. When I and others had things still in life to lose, it definitely was a bit easier to hold on to them by remaining abstinent. Of course it is no guarantee and the proof of that is the fact that I ended up homeless, jobless and penniless! I will also tell you that having been that fucked up once also along with having a life made it easier to get it together since I didn’t want to lose my life and I definitely didn’t want to repeat my homelessness situation!

Hey g, I like your questions…  I always seem to relapse over legit. pain issues.  First I don’t “use” for a year or two no matter what.  Then some pain issue arises and I end up taking opiates responsibly for a while but inevitably the wheel runs off.  Chronic headaches are usually the culprit. Someone here awhile ago said they were bad at tolerating pain and discomfort, and that is me to a tee. I do feel if I was an alcoholic and didn’t get such a good feeling from opiates, it seems like I would have this beat.  I have to admit that once in my thirties I relapsed after almost six years clean over a broken romance, tho.
Judging by others’ responses, it doesn’t seem to matter if you’re “low bottom” or
not, it still just seems like some people make it and some don’t.  I don’t know if addiction is a disease or not, but it does seem sort of like cancer.  Some people get the treatments and it cures them or puts them into remission, and some folks die no matter what.  It still all seems sort of mysterious.  When I took ibo it always emphasized issues with my parents and showed me endless walls and ceilings, but I don’t know what more I can do about the parents issue.  One finally died and I feel pretty detached from the other.  It ain’t like I didn’t work on it in therapy ad nauseum.

I especially like your last question as I (my ego, or the part of myself I am most identified with) is perfectly happy to continue to get high if I can keep it at this level.  But, damn if I don’t keep dreaming that it still isn’t right for me.  That probably pisses me off more than anything.  It seems like if some subconcious part of me doesn’t accept this,or thinks I am BAD, then  give me a fuckin’ avenue that’ll work for the long haul, but I don’t know what the answer is, since I don’t even have a desire to quit at this point.  However, it still feels like it just sort of eats at you or when something bad happens I tend to think it’s because I’m using, or I feel less connected with “good” energy, or my own soul or something if I’m clouding it up with drugs.  All this shit sounds stupid and ridiculous when I write it, but no doubt I think these things.  Like I won’t “graduate” from school or something, if I die an addict.  But me, the me who writes this, says – I do enough right in my life – can’t I have some areas of weakness?

Anyway that’s the gist of it.  It seems like everyone has some challenge to work on – I have two close friends who don’t drink or smoke but are morbidly obese and they’re dying just as fast as if they were sticking needles in their arms daily, and they’ve got a kid, great jobs and as much to live for as anyone.  I still come back to that old idea that this whole reality is just some sort of school, and I just don’t understand the “algebraic part” of addiction or whatever it is I need to, to stop using drugs for comfort.  It isn’t like I haven’t muscled thru the withdrawal part a number of times.  I know I can when I really want to – it’s just wanting to and feeling like it’ll matter or stick.

That’s all…  thanks for everyone else’s imput.  I enjoy the exchange of ideas a lot!  Hoping that Shelly is doing well too, and that everyone gets to try ibogaine.  No matter if you “get it or not” I think ibogaine is very worthwhile – and to Callie – boy, no one is honest all the time.  You just seem like you got the escalation part of it bad still.  That’s the piece that it SEEMS like ibogaine has helped me with the most.  When I felt like I was definitely going to relapse I felt like I was going to be able to “maintain” and not be so out of control with escalation – which so far is true.

Happy school daze to all – Sandy

Dear Nella,

ahhh… memories.

the TL used to be my main stomping grounds… and when the paddy wagons were on the prowl… the good ole mission.

perhaps you know Rich the Snitch, or Texas, or my good pal Sergio?

nasty business, shooting that tar.

yet I Digress.

One thing I can say for sure is, wherever you go, there you are.

I’d say Ibogaine would be a grand idea for you. oh, but thats out of reach… sorry. I wish it weren’t. I really do.

barring that, getting out of town, renting a few dozen good movies, obtaining a handful of benzo’s and some sleeping aids is what I would do. And hook up with some folks who are clean during/after your detox.

the pain thing… Its a tough call. Depending on the type of pain, there is Toridol, vioxx, neurontin, etc.

There is also something called wobenzyme that helps some folks, for a while at least, which is health food store type material. Mainly helps with inflamation pain.

I’ve had to deal with pain management post-ibogaine, and have been thru the entire spectrum.

Preventative measures like exercise and yoga really are the best, but somehow I never could get in the mood for any of that shit while I was kicking. something to think about afterwards, tho.

But I will say getting fresh air and sunshine – especially early in the day- will help with your head space. Basements and skinny puppy aren’t exactly uplifting.

I would reccomend getting a really good strain of indica and smoke it when the cravings hit really bad. For me, good indica is kind of like truth serum, I could never mix it with heroin, it was a conflict of interest. heroin=Mind numbing and mind-narrowing. indica=mind-inspiring and mind-expanding. It also helps relax you which in turn helps relieve pain.

best of luck,

_.dh

p.s. oh yeah, don’t let the noise in your head get louder than the music in your heart.

Ambien, and a majority of those other pills you see in your email box as

over the counter, NON codeine based (duh) pain medications that works BEST

Neurontin is getting a lot of medical flags in the non-opioid pain relief
while kicking area.

It is obvious we have to get religious organization backing to send potential
ibogaine patients to out of the US treatment providers.

Good luck.  Sorry you don’t have ibogaine.

Hey Nella,

You have confirmed my suspicions that the Tenderloin has not changed since May, my last time in San Fran.  I’m from NJ, 30 minutes from NYC or Newark, cities which are no lightweights when it comes to drugs.  But I will tell you I never found it easier to score dope at any time than San Francisco.  After three weeks in that fine city I was homeless and selling my foodstamps.

Came back to NJ, cleaned up once with much support form this list, have used heroin tree times after cleaning up..playing with fire basically.  I have tried all sorts of support groups 12 step and not to stay clean without success.  So basically ibogaine feels like a chance for a new start.  Getting white chips in NA can no longer feel like that for me.  Too many years.  I need to do something different.  In my case, harm reduction and health permitting, very soon, ibogaine.

A couple of questions, if you don’t mind.   Is a short term detox feasible for you? How about ibogaine?  Whatever path you choose, it’s really cool that you felt you could come here for support.  This list is mad cool, and there is more experience with dope and dope kicking than anywhere on the net.

Peace,
Sean

Hi Nella,

Can’t do the Ibo, yea I know, it’s hell being poor.  So you fell of the wagon and gave in to temptation – join the club.  The one thing I learned from detrox and NA (OK, you guys quit screaming) is you got to change your friends that use.  If you hang around with those that use it is usually a matter of time before you start using, of course you know that.

There is really no easy way.  If there was an easy way there were be no detox places.  I hate to say it but your gonna suffer.

They say catapress, a blood pressuer pill, can help but it did not seem to do much for me.  However, I was using about $100 to $150 per day of STRONG stuff.

Valium can help somewhat as can (I imagine) Ambian.  My insurance does not cover Ambian, I wish it did.  If it did I would switch off between it and Restoril.  Restoril is a benzo based sleeping pill they make 15 and 30 mg.  I would say you would need the 30 mg ones.  The Valium can help but as time goes on it gets to be you can take a handful and nothing happens.  The bad part is quitting Valium can cause seizures it may take 10 day for that to occure for Valium has a very long half life so I would strongly suggest tappering off after 5 or so days.  And after 5 or so days it will no longer be helping you since you will have built up a tolerance.

For aches and pains, I have no idea.   Same for the sweats and cold chills.  Of course sleep as much as possible for when your sleeping you are out of pain.  Damn doesn’t time seem to go slow, specially when your up 24 hours for most of the bad part.

My number one favorite is Imodium get generic ones they are cheaper and work the same.  If you read about Imodium in the PDR it says that when given to monkeys in a greater than recommended dose it help stops withdrawal.  However, it does not say how much that is.  I have a spastic colon and take from 4 to 8 per day.  It is the best non narcotic anti-diarrheal pill that I know of.  However, I am not a doctor, nurse or anything like that,  just an addict or junkie who has been through it many times.  A few of my friends went to shrinks and they all seem to give Serax ( a benzo ), catapress and Restoril.  Of course that was many years ago.  A few people may answer your letter and offer some herbs that may help sooth the stomach.  You may go to a health food store and ask or ask a pharmacist what can he give you to help an upset stomach.

I know I was pretty sick for 5 days, just laid in bed and did not eat anything.  The next week I had gas and they gave me simethacone.  That helped quiet a bit, it is embarrassing just farting away.  Then came the sneezing for a week.  And I was freezing my ass off.  I had a shirt and sweater and everyone else was going around in a short sleeve shirt.  They joked and said that’s because they had anti-freeze in them.  I was one sick puppy.  But after two long weeks I started feeling a better.  In fact I remember it took two weeks and two days before I felt normal.  However, I still had trouble sleeping and still had the cravings.  If I could have taken the whole thing over after the 3 weeks and I was out I would of taken Trexan or naltrexan (not narcan which is Naloxone
, but shorting lasting and must be shot up.) most docs will give it to you.  They cost about $3.00 per 50 mg pill and if you take a pill a day you will not feel anything if you shoot up for it is a narcotic antagonist.  Whatever you do don’t use then take a naltrexan for you will experience the worst withdrawal symptoms you ever had – ask anybody on this forum.

You seem to have it down except the Immdium and simethacone.  Maybe some one else will give you another tip or two.

I remember taking a trip to SF and stayed in the Tenderloin 238 Eddie St back between Christmas and New Years Day 1980.  Was there for about a week.  Seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show and China Town.  Crazy to the max.  But the people were nice, you would just meet a guy and next thing one of you would bring out a joint, just like picking up a hitch hicker in the hippie days.  You got some, yea, do you, Yea wanna try mine or yours.

Three guys were gonna mug me I saw it coming so I stopped put my back against the wall and started cleaning my fingernails with a $2.00 knief.  They looked, smilled and kept walking.  They felt it was not worth the hassle, they could find someone else who was not paying attention.  No, I’m not a bad ass, just been around.

Oh, by the way maybe some Rx like Toradole(sp) might help, in detox they offer Robaxin(sp) but it did not seem to help.  If your gonna go to a doc they will give you some Toradole or Robaxin but I doubt if they will give you Valium or Restoril or Ambion, however a shrink may give you a little something like Serax which is about the same as a Valium.

I had to move from Detroit to Texas back in 80 and again in 90.  I find if I go to a place where I don’t know anyone who uses the hard stuff I am better off.  When the stuff is close by, like a one hour ride, the temptation is too strong.  Then also make naltrexon implants that last about 6 months but they are VERY expensive like $400 or so from what I heard.  I would say keep a pill on you  and if you get a craven or get with users drop one right away, wait an hour and you will be fine.

One more word of caution, do not try to override the naltraxon for you will keep doing and doing and not get high, then do once more and die.  I don’t know why, but never try to override the naltraxon.  Of course this is just a layman’s opinion.  But you can ask your doc and see if I’m right.  Better safe than sorry.  Remember, if you die those who care about you will feel the pain.

I wish you the best,

– JIM

Hi,

It seems as if you accidentally wandered into the junkie coffee chat and ibo treatment clearinghouse..one stop shopping.  You wish to find the exit.  There is no exit.:) just kidding…have you dropped to the bottom of list emails and read the part about list commands and tried them?  Like most lists, a great deal of the work can usually be dome without the list owner.

Subject: [ibogaine] Dear List, I’m kicking again

Dear List,
I’m kicking again.  Last time I had to do this I swore to myself I would
never do it again, but on a recent half year business trip to “The City”
(San Francisco / Where I currently am) I gave into the temptation again
and got hooked.  Junk is on every street corner in the Tenderloin (the
“hood” in SF, if that’s what you call it).  I don’t know why I started
again but I fucked up and we all tend to do that time and again.
Anyways, fact is, I’ve been using everyday for six months now and once
again I’m fucked up and hooked.  If I go 24 hours without I fell like I
pile of shit.  A really big pile of shit.  Well, my time is up here and
I’m going to be leaving to a place where I can NOT obtain dope.  That is
the only way I know I can kick, if I go somewhere where I know I CAN’T get
it.  That is how I did it last time.
Last time I kicked I cold turkeyed.  No codeine based medications, no
methadone (the devil) – all I took was Valium, Somas, Clonazapam 2mg,
Ambien, and a majority of those other pills you see in your email box as
spam.  Basically pills that would get me through without anything that
would feed my junk receptors.  I just sat in a friend’s basement with some
Skinny Puppy playing ambiently in the background and sweat the shit out of
me until I was well.

This time around I would like some advice from you fine folks for various
over the counter, NON codeine based (duh) pain medications that works BEST
for _back_ and _joint pain_.  Also, maybe some of you know some
prescription based pain medications that work great for kicking that does
not feed heroin craving receptors.

Well, OK folks any advice would be great.  Unlike last time I kicked where
I took all the previously mentioned pharmaceuticals all I did was
basically go into a week and a half coma, but this time I want something
for the pain.  So, I would greatly appreciate any help given.

I’ve been on this list for a really, really long time and enjoy reading
everybody’s various experiences.  I think that the people that are
educated enough towards the subject of getting off this devil of a drug
are doing a great service to others.

God bless you all and thank you in advance.

Hey list,

I cannot tell you all how excited I am.  My EKG and liver tests are OK and I may be off for treatment this weekend.  I owe a big thanks to my long suffering family for making such quick plans possible.  If all goes well, I will be off list after Thursday, and reporting results about 10 days later.

I can’t express the feeling of hope that I have right now. I really do very deeply want to be free of the chains of H and base, and the kickstart I have been looking for into a new life seem so near.  And list, you guys are the ultimate best.  I never would have taken this step without you.

Hi Patrick,

It is really cool drinking coffee with all these junkies.  II have cut down to one sugar form a high of six..progress I guess.  Anyway, I understand and respect the purpose of the new list.  i do want to say, however, that as my possibility of being Bo experience gets greater, I get much out of hearing from those who have dosed. So perhaps the list could open to those anticipate ibogaine in the very near future? I would be willing to agree to voluntarily keep my virtual mouthshut (lurk)? if that would please I’ll better over there.

Sean
BTW: I never got to stay this long broke in a crackhouse. Ever. period. No loot..there’s the goddamn door mofucker….or at least an escort to an ATM:(

Nella,

Differnet “time”, same kick sick.  So if I hear you right you’re looking for non-opi and not iboga/ine.

Perhaps Kava would help a bit?

I don’t think anything will compair with a shot as far as taking away the pain momentarily, but it may help take a little of the edge off.  Are you kicking right now still? Or do you plan to kick when you move?

Be well,
Jason

Hey Nella,

You have confirmed my suspicions that the Tenderloin has not changed since May, my last time in San Fran.  I’m from NJ, 30 minutes from NYC or Newark, cities which are no lightweights when it comes to drugs.  But I will tell you I never found it easier to score dope at any time than San Francisco.  After three weeks in that fine city I was homeless and selling my foodstamps.

Came back to NJ, cleaned up once with much support form this list, have used heroin tree times after cleaning up..playing with fire basically.  I have tried all sorts of support groups 12 step and not to stay clean without success.  So basically ibogaine feels like a chance for a new start.  Getting white chips in NA can no longer feel like that for me.  Too many years.  I need to do something different.  In my case, harm reduction and health permitting, very soon, ibogaine.

A couple of questions, if you don’t mind.   Is a short term detox feasible for you? How about ibogaine?  Whatever path you choose, it’s really cool that you felt you could come here for support.  This list is mad cool, and there is more experience with dope and dope kicking than anywhere on the net.

Peace,
Sean

Okay,

I just sped-read most of the messages that were posted here over the last two weeks or so…  And … right now there is a Sacrament list.  I’m not really clear why we want TWO more ibogaine lists — bringing it up to a total of three — to light up.

‘Cuz, from past experience, the only thing that will end up happening, is people will have the same series of conversations across 3 different lists, accomplishing nothing except creating a big mess.

I think … what’s gonna happen is, Sacrament will be relit (this actually means a few more flags get thrown on it, and it’s announced someplace), and it’ll become…

Well, what I leaning towards is a list that is generally geared towards the discussion of sacramental use(s) of ibogaine; the sharing of experiences from those who have done it (whether you wanna talk about the visionary aspects, or how to maintain post-ibogaine, or whateverTheFuck) and, whatever comes up…

Whereas THIS will remain the central ibogaine list.

I sorta think it’s a poor idea to restrict the Sacrament list to only those who have already done ibogaine.  Partially because it is exclusionary — and many of the way-fucked do seem to derive a lot of hope and inspiration from just their awareness of ibogaine, and interacting with people who have used it to step out of drug dependence.

But, in addition to all that…  I’m not the babysitter or hall monitor.  While I know a lot of you personally, and many of you over the phone or email or whatever…  I have absolutely no way of knowing if some random person has dosed or not.  Maybe they have, maybe they’ve just read a lot of experience reports, maybe nearly anything…  <Shrug>

The bottom line is…  If you’re so fragile that reading the thoughts of another person who is still using drugs — which you’ve stopped doing — will somehow tarnish you, destroy your radiant purity, or make you relapse…  Then possibly you’ve got other things to worry about rather then whether ALL the people you talk to have done ibogaine.

At the same time I recognize that a lotta people do want to discuss IBOGAINE, and not hear war stories or junkie coffee talk.  So, I think, the only request will be: please try to respect the purpose of the Sacrament list, and don’t fill it up with … well, Junkie Coffee Talk <insert emoticon here>.  Because people DO complain about that shit.  “I like THE LIST, buT…  Every time I open up my mailbox there are 500 new messages, and then, ThEN, THEN, I *CLICK* and I’m not finding any ibogaine!@#!!!  I, I … I had to eat two Xanax to calm down.  It was awful!!!”

Yeah, well, ya know … therein lies the beauty of using whatever email client makes you happy, and learning how to set the filters.

Thusly, to sum it all up: THIS is the main list, temple, chapel, gathering space, bar, shooting gallery, crackhouse, anti-12-step meeting, and meat market, all smoOshed together… and Junkie Coffee Talk is more than welcome; since, above all else, I think we’re a community.

Try to be respectful that the purpose of the Sacrament list is slightly different.

If this doesn’t work out, well, we can try sumthin’ else.

If you have input, please give it.  If you don’t want to send it out to the entire list and discuss it, feel free to email me, with “Regarding Sacrament List” somewhere in the subject line … if you don’t use that topic, my filters will toss it wherever, and I may never see it.  I may not have time to respond, but I will read it.

Thanks.  A junkie from New York,

Patrick

Dear Leslie,

I don’t want to “get high” but I have to (addiction is the that kind of
thing) Because I’m an addict and quitting is not piece of cake. You are
looking at to people from very high places, from so far; somewhere we are
not belong.

I tried Ibo once and yes it was worked on me but I used again I still don’t
know why.

In the list we are encouraging  each others. By the time I’m learning so
many thing from list peoples even some of them never tried Ibo.

This is the only way to share aches in my heart for me and they are more
inteligent and undersating guys and girls.

short note for patrick, I know your very busy but when
you get the chance to open it could you please open up
the after ibogaine list some time in the next week or
two like you said you would.

I am not bitching about anything, love the site and
your writing is awesome and enjoy the hope that is
here. but every time I open up my mailbox I have 200
letters from this list and at least half of it is like
coffee talk for junkies or someone explaining how
important they are.

i would like to talk to people who have already done
ibogaine and are trying to stay sober which is where i
am at, I have done it twice and am still very shaky
but trying. No disrespect to anyone but I read 20 long
letters from one person who seems very smart and
knowledgeable and then a month later oh by the way,
they’ve never done ibogaine and are still using. Ok I
appreciate you being smart and may like reading what
you say but somehow I don’t have that much interest in
taking advice from someone who isn’t clean and hasn’t
done ibogaine and is handing out sobriety advice and
explaining how to get the most from their ibo
experience.

I feel like I’m going crazy a lot of the time its very
hard to maintain, I go to 12 step meetings but most of
the time I only feel worse and want to get high and
mindvox is the only site I’ve ever found which isn’t
so depressing and has a lot of hope but I don’t want
to talk to people who are still getting high.

thank you

Turkish is the very very dificult language to learn specialy for the latin based language. Turkish has most dificult for pronunciation. (but I’ll try)
addict in Turkish : bağımlı (it’s impossible to tell you how to pronounce this word because you have no this “ğ” type voice in your language. (the other words same meaning is: “müptela”, “tiryaki”)

We (addicted people that who take heroin by syringe) use to call each
others as junkie in Turkish slang. Turkish addicts take the word of junkie
from hippy tourists that passing by Turkey while they were going to the

What is the turkish word for junkie or addict.     Probably a silly question but one I would like to know the answer to.  Thanks.  Allison

We (addicted people that who take heroin by syringe) use to call each
others as junkie in Turkish slang. Turkish addicts take the word of junkie
from hippy tourists that passing by Turkey while they were going to the
India.

The Chaos Symbol is sumthin’ we’ve used since roughly the dawn of
time.
It doesn’t come from “chaos magic.”  It comes from a fucked-up
science
fiction writer named Michael Moorcock.

Moorcock sorta kicked off “New Wave” in science fiction, which

eventually gave rise to William Gibson and cyberpunk.  All of this

coalesced further when a buncha people who started all this shit,
wound
up hanging out in the MindVox offices and moving into our building.

You know … when we were like 12 you were the shit!  And now, you’re

sitting in our office!  We’ve summoned all of you!  Fully Fucking

Excellent!

So we’ve got Charles Platt writing us into books and articles —
Platt
also drew the original MindVox Celtic Cross/Chaos logos in the early

90’s — and Michael Moorcock mentioning that, “Oh, by the way, most
of
my work was inspired by doing a lot of drugZ!@!.”  Uhm, well duh.

http://www.mindvox.com/staticpage/Media/SFF.html

The symbol of chaos is basically the wheel of dharma, broken, while

tripping.  The spokes extend beyond the boundaries and keep going.

What it means to me is liberation, freedom, transcendent states.

What it means to you, I dunno.  You can figure that out … or not.

Why do you think you relapse after being clean for so many years is it

some prob that shows up and you don’t want to deal or do you decide
one day that you want to get high?

The only peeps I know myself who have cleaned up with ibo were street,

I don’t know any normals who did it. Mabe your theory that the most
fucked survive is right.

one question I got is if drugs didn’t mess up your life why do you even

care or want to get off them?

Hi Shelley.  I really empathize with your question as it’s very

similar to mine.  Man, I feel like I’ve tried EVERYTHING to stay
clean
too, but I can’t ever seem to make it stick for more than a few
years
at a time.  I really envy and admire anyone who does.  I’ve taken
ibo
three times and I totally relate to what you talk about with the

closeness of the “other world” and how beautiful everything and

everyone looks.  When I’m in that space drugs have NO appeal
whatsoever.  Coffee even looked icky and quitting cigarettes was
the
easiest part for me…

I love what ibogaine has to give but it still seems like every
other
approach to addiction – for some folks it sticks and others it

doesn’t.  I’m just one of the others.  I hate to write here sometimes

in fear of dashing hopes by admitting that I’m not clean, but everyone

has to roll the dice for themselves.  No doubt ibo does something

different that nothing else does (in my opinion,) but it still ain’t
a
hundred percent…

I feel sort of frustrated myself ’cause I feel like I did everything

right too.  I’ve done YEARS of therapy – am very active physically,

volunteer a lot, eat very well, keep my responsibilities clean,
spent
three years in 12 step stuff and did EVERYTHING I was supposed to
there
too – and yada yada.  I sometimes think that the folks who’ve lost
more
due to their addiction maybe can hang on to sobriety better because
it
took them down so low.  Maybe that’s a generalization and I apologize

to anyone if that sounds like a dis – I don’t mean it to be.  It’s
just
that I never lost a job, never had a brush really with the law,
no
one even knows when I’m high, and this last relapse I’ve kept the
dose
so low that even I am amazed.  Doesn’t mean things won’t get out
of
hand eventually, but I credit ibo with at least allowing me “harm

reduction” with my own habit.

Some folks here talk about how opiates relieve depression and
I know
some folks find that just doing methadone the rest of their life
still
allows their life to be much better than when “runnin’ and gunnin’.
I
don’t care for the attitude that folks still using have nothing
to
offer – I think that idea might likely bite you in the ass eventually,

but I empathize with it all.  What humans understand about addiction
I
think amounts to what the cave folks understood about electricity.
I
don’t think we really have a clue yet what it really stems from
or why
ibogaine seems to hit the reset button for some but not all.  Some

folks walk into 12 step meetings and get that too right off, but
what
is the difference between the one who get’s it and the one who

doesn’t?  I have an idea in my head alot that I may be “paying back”

for judging “weak” people too harshly in the past, – like having
to be
fat for being a creep to fat people at one time.  That’s the only

answer I have for myself right now.

Shelley, I hope you find a way to hang on.  I do believe that
if you
keep trying you finally get it. I used to play a sport professionally

and the people who kept getting up over and over no matter how many

times they got beat on – their games improved constantly and
consistently.  I just give up for periods of time, and then seem
to
energize to fight again.  I do believe one thing – growth is most
often
slow and arduous – but most of us would love to grow a lot faster
(I
would anyway.)

BEst to all…  Sandy

Hey all,I want to put something out there–I talk in a few forums

about how awesome ibogaine is,and I get feedback like,well the jurys

still out whether youll stay sober,wait till the cravings come back(!)I

have relapsed twice after my first iboga experience.I really dont
think
it was cravings coming back,more like my issues with boredom,lonliness,

,lack of direction & getting sucked back into old patterns from
lack of
consistant action in new directions.I love reading about accounts
of
people doing ibogaine & NEVER going back to that lifestyle &
suffering.However that hasnt been the case for me.however,my relapses

have been very brief,my habit less than before & I never give up,
I want
to stay clean so much.Im at the point now when the ibogaine ,well
the
noribogaine is wearing off,the antidepressant effects are dwindling,

a
more challenging time for me.I have no cravings ,but have more mood

stuff.I miss the other world being as near as it was.Its not like
Im
ignorant that its right
here for the taking,i meditate ,do yoga,intense
exercise,acupuncture,etc,I just miss the freebie in freshly post
trip
phase,that incredible gift iboga offers.Cant very well keep doin

ibogaine every time it wears off.Im wondering if any one else can

relate to what Im saying.Sure theres 12 step,smart ,different paths
of
healing to follow(done psychotherapy for years too,lived in ashram,
had

I really relate to that too. I know some of you hate AA but I have to mention it for what I am about to say to make sense. It says in the Big Book that there are some unfortunates who can’t get sober. The reason being they are incapable of being honest. I think I am one of those unfortunates. I can’t be totally honest on a regular basis.

Hell, sometimes I lie when I don’t have to. I know it is wrong too! I have had people say ,”Oh, well then you are okay since you know it is wrong to lie. It is the folks who don’t have a conscious that can’t get clean.” I think that is bullshit. I

This isn’t true for I have lost almost everything! Raising my children, nursing license, healthy body, numerous places to live, several automobiles, respect of my family, a good husband.  Then after losing that I went to jail for fraud and possession. That is pretty much!
.
Some folks here talk about how opiates relieve depression and I know some folks find that just doing methadone the rest of their life still allows their life to be much better than when “runnin’ and gunnin’.  I don’t care for the attitude that folks still using have nothing to offer – I think that idea might likely bite you in the ass eventually, but I empathize with it all.
Even though I dose everyday with Methadone I really don’t consider that using….or do I? Hell, I don’t know what I think sometimes!
I really would be happy doing Methadone the rest of my life but I have a very difficult time dosing like I am suppose to! When I first pick up my take homes I always drink an extra dose! I rationalize it many different ways.
I need someone to hand it to me everyday. I tried to get Charlie(my sig. other) to keep my Methadone and just give me a bottle a day but we would always argue so he quit that job! lol! I don’t blame him!

What humans understand about addiction I think amounts to what the cave folks understood about electricity.  I don’t think we really have a clue yet what it really stems from or why ibogaine seems to hit the reset button for some but not all.  Some folks walk into 12 step meetings and get that too right off, but what is the difference between the one who get’s it and the one who doesn’t?  I have an idea in my head alot that I may be “paying back” for judging “weak” people too harshly in the past, – like having to be fat for being a creep to fat people at one time.  That’s the only answer I have for myself right now.

Howard and Julian,

Howard: thanks for the info on the water.  Julian: I  found voicing my concerns and questions directly to ibogaine providers much more reassuring than reading answers on the list.  I much as I have learned on this list, and enjoy the conversation, talking face to face with someone has been treated with ibogaine (in this case someone who was treated once and never used again) really reassured tremendously.  You can email privately if you want to chat more about this.

Going for the sacrament of thin crust pizza now…see ya all later. God willing and the crick don rise.

Hi Sandy,

I found your thoughts on whether “low bottom” addicts get recovery more easily. I used to really believe that.  My experience over time is no really bearing that, however.
I mostly used with homeless, jobless 24/7 junkies for whom change would in fact be an absolute miracle.  They go in and out of Medicaid paid treatment, but return to their old ways very quickly upon release.

Most of NA friends came into to the program with families, jobs, homes…although usually when one or all of those things were at a breaking point..but they still had them non the less. It seemed as if abstinence came easier to those who had much to lose, but had not yet lost them.

As for me, this year I was homeless and jobless using in SanFransisco.  Came back to the New Jersey, went back to work, and moved in with family.  My partner of seven years packed up and moved to Conn., so my apartment was gone.

In this time I have started therapy and researched and may very soon be getting an ibo treatment.  I cleaned up entirely once in June, used again at the end of July, and have been “chipping” since.  I have to say, though, that having a job, some friends, access to the Internet for this list and others, have been crucial in my ability to turn things around at all.  Hell, without the web, I would not know about ibogaine.

So, my conclusion, while not very scientific, is that change (in this case putting down H and crack) has come more possible because I have a job and home.  When I was a classic low bottom there was little hope for me at all.  I have incentive to change and mature. I’m not sleeping under an entrance ramp to the Golden Gate having sold my food stamps for H or speed.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

You know Shelly, you don’t need to even acknowledge the statements of, “the jury’s still out”,”wait until the cravings return”, etc.
Everyday you are clean is a wonderful miracle! If you do have a setback, pick yourself up and get back going! Live in the now.Your Ibogaine experiences sound so wonderful. It makes me even more eager to go that path!
You keep on keeping on! You are doing great. Hang in there and keep sharing.
I am hoping and praying for Preston. If I understood correctly he is going to be gone doing his Ibogaine? I did not know it was this soon but if so, that is so cool!
I am happy Mark is good too!

Hi Shelley.  I really empathize with your question as it’s very similar to mine.  Man, I feel like I’ve tried EVERYTHING to stay clean too, but I can’t ever seem to make it stick for more than a few years at a time.  I really envy and admire anyone who does.  I’ve taken ibo three times and I totally relate to what you talk about with the closeness of the “other world” and how beautiful everything and everyone looks.  When I’m in that space drugs have NO appeal whatsoever.  Coffee even looked icky and quitting cigarettes was the easiest part for me…
I love what ibogaine has to give but it still seems like every other approach to addiction – for some folks it sticks and others it doesn’t.  I’m just one of the others.  I hate to write here sometimes in fear of dashing hopes by admitting that I’m not clean, but everyone has to roll the dice for themselves.  No doubt ibo does something different that nothing else does (in my opinion,) but it still ain’t a hundred percent…
I feel sort of frustrated myself ’cause I feel like I did everything right too.  I’ve done YEARS of therapy – am very active physically, volunteer a lot, eat very well, keep my responsibilities clean, spent three years in 12 step stuff and did EVERYTHING I was supposed to there too – and yada yada.  I sometimes think that the folks who’ve lost more due to their addiction maybe can hang on to sobriety better because it took them down so low.  Maybe that’s a generalization and I apologize to anyone if that sounds like a dis – I don’t mean it to be.  It’s just that I never lost a job, never had a brush really with the law, no one even knows when I’m high, and this last relapse I’ve kept the dose so low that even I am amazed.  Doesn’t mean things won’t get out of hand eventually, but I credit ibo with at least allowing me “harm reduction” with my own habit.
Some folks here talk about how opiates relieve depression and I know some folks find that just doing methadone the rest of their life still allows their life to be much better than when “runnin’ and gunnin’.  I don’t care for the attitude that folks still using have nothing to offer – I think that idea might likely bite you in the ass eventually, but I empathize with it all.  What humans understand about addiction I think amounts to what the cave folks understood about electricity.  I don’t think we really have a clue yet what it really stems from or why ibogaine seems to hit the reset button for some but not all.  Some folks walk into 12 step meetings and get that too right off, but what is the difference between the one who get’s it and the one who doesn’t?  I have an idea in my head alot that I may be “paying back” for judging “weak” people too harshly in the past, – like having to be fat for being a creep to fat people at one time.  That’s the only answer I have for myself right now.
Shelley, I hope you find a way to hang on.  I do believe that if you keep trying you finally get it. I used to play a sport professionally and the people who kept getting up over and over no matter how many times they got beat on – their games improved constantly and consistently.  I just give up for periods of time, and then seem to energize to fight again.  I do believe one thing – growth is most often slow and arduous – but most of us would love to grow a lot faster (I would anyway.)
BEst to all…  Sandy

Hey Shelly,

I know excatly what you are talking about.

in the couple months post ibo (first time around) It was as if I was in
a magic bubble. I would go on a walk and look up at the clouds and I
felt as tho I could just reach up and climb aboard them. My perception
of my actions and their effect on the environment around me was
magnified a hundred times. I was super aware, everything was glowing, I
almost felt immortal or something like that. A completely clean slate
like I had just reincarnated in the same life and managed to hold on to
the wisdom the iboga re-taught me.

Then it started to fade, the old patterns returned slowly but surely
and i got pretty depressed. ***What I forgot*** was to continue to do
the work, my aftercare plans fell to the side and I, too went on 2 mini
runs. But as soon as I pulled myself out of the muck and started
working on myself, some of the ibo insights started to resurface, or
unexplainable visions that ibo showed me began to make sense. Exercise
was vital to this process as well. And I still continue to have iboga
moments, 6 years and one small booster dose later.

the path gets narrow, and the issues finer and deeper and oh so fucking
nice to let go of. Its the letting go that is the the hard work. for me
anyhow. Iboga is just the begining, and a damn good refresher if needed.

I’d say keep doing what you are doing. and stay conscious with your
intentions. My experienece is that it does, eventually smooth out.
There will be dips and curves in the road but there are also beautiful
vistas to take in.

I loved reading what you posted to Howard about your experiences, I too
had the ancestral lineage revealed to me back to the first human, and I
also had the Bwiti Elders looking over me, as If I were laid out on
some sort of altar or table… the compassion, wisdom and timelessness
in their eyes was magnificent, set in beautiful contrast to their age
weathered faces. They were all holding sparklers and twirling them in
small circles, as if to urge me onward, over the threshold.

anyhow, you’ve reminded me of some cool stuff. Thanks.

-Dave

None of the autopsies were conclusive.  If they were it would make things
simpler.

The best advice I can give is don’t have a cardiovascular disorder.  Stay
hydrated.  Drink a lot of water for a few days prior to ibogaine. So far I think
we are looking at five ibogaine-related fatalities in about two thousand
treatments. In 2002 there were about one thousand methadone-related fatalities
among 240,000 methadone patients in the US.  That was a high point.  In 1999, I
believe 116,000 patients died in US hospitals from  FDA-approved drug-related
fatalities. I can’t give you any guarantees or any answers.  I would suggest you
don’t dwell on death.  There is enough other stuff to consider though
ultimately death is a subject we all address.  If Ibogaine were more available and
openly available, you could take a little and see if there were any negative
effects and come back a week later and take a greater amount, etc., to gain some
comfort level. But, in reality one never knows what is going to happen.  I
would take these discussion up with your ibogaine provider.

Howard, Good Morning! My topic has nothing to do with ‘religion’. It is

something you once wrote about but I nevger really gleamed a firm response

from you. It is about death and Ibogaine. I spoke with Sara about this
as well
and she did have some specifics but about the same as you. You stated there

were 4 known deaths resulting from experiences with Ibo, but you believed
(or
Sara said it?) two of the people had heart disease and should not have
been doing
it at that time in their life and the other two got high during their session

or right after and not believing their tolerance level to opiates decreased,

they died (really OD’d from getting off) Weren’t there autopsies? Didn’t

anyone follow up on this? The reason I’m bringing this up is I intend to
do
Ibogaine with Sara in the fall, but something came up here in NYC. I was
asked not to
really talk about it in detail yet but it/s going to happen for me in two

weeks and I’m …well I doin’t want to be concerned with my dying while
on IBO. I
mean if I die, I die but I don’t wish to dwell on it while experiencing.
I
don’t want to create a negative ‘set’ for my experience. Please help me
with
this issue. To others on the forum, I didn’t  want to sound cryptic or
sneaky and
I’ll ask these people if I can talk about  it a little more. I can tell
you
if you if you have the funds and wish to do Ibogaine, they are looking
to
“spread the joy” so to speak. Write me at dustfcker0@aol.com on Tuesday.

Carla whatever it is that you’re reading here you go from the
first
10
results on the first page of google.

.:vector:.

Peter Carroll: “If you want a one-line definition with which
most
Chaosists would not disagree, then I offer the following: Chaosists
usually accept the meta-belief that belief itself is only a
tool
for
achieving effects; it is not an end in itself.”

Meta-belief is an important concept in Chaos Magic. It is the
idea
that
belief is nothing more than a state of mind, and as such, can
be
manipulated by the will. Belief is a psychological state that
can
be
deliberately self-manipulated, although it has the power to
shape
our
own reality, and sometimes other people’s reality as well.
It is
the
means, not the end; the vehicle, not the destination.

The practice of meta-belief confers an awful freedom and an
awful
responsibility. Practicing the temporary adoption of an obsessive
belief system that allows for the possibility of accomplishing
specific
effects, and then the abandonment of that belief system upon
the
completion of the work. Subsequent, and even contradictory
belief
systems are adopted in turn as need or desire may dictate.
To do
this
(and not go completely insane) it is of paramount importance
that
no
one particular set of beliefs is ever accepted as being ultimately
true.

The essence of magic is non-verbal and personally unique. The
key
is
the imagination, and the doors are the altered states of
consciousness.
You can meditate, burn all the candles and chant all the
incantations
you want, but if your mind isn’t transported to another place
in
the
process, it isn’t going to amount to much.

There are myriad ways to alter one’s conscious perceptions
in
different
directions, and part of the journey is learning how your
consciousness
functions and how to alter it in accordance with your intention.

Like a method actor, a Chaos Magician seeks to circumvent everyday
reality and suspend disbelief. To do this he or she uses the
tools
of
the actor: setting, costumes, props, words, sounds, and especially
what
Stanislavsky called emotional memory. Any powerful, transformative
experience can be used to tap into the emotional memory, including
sex,
pain, confusion, elation, disgust and ecstasy — especially
in
paradoxical combinations.

As a result, Chaos Magic is magic without limitations. Chaos
magic
is
not a new system, or a rehash of older systems, or any kind
of
system
at all. It’s a new attitude. It’s a different way of looking
at the
Art
of Magic — as an expression of Art above all other considerations.
Like so many Artists, Chaos Mages tend toward an attitude of
elitism,
since a great part of the creation of Art is the pursuit of
excellence,
and pride in oneself and one’s creations when excellence is
achieved.
An elitist attitude (as long as it’s balanced with compassion
and
doesn’t desend into bigotry) is forgivable in the Artist, for
without
it no great work of Art would ever be realized.

The practice of Chaos Magic can be destablizing, because it’s
designed
to deconstruct belief. Like psychedelic drugs, it can drastically
alter
your reality. So it’s not for the squeamish, or for those who
fear
what
lurks in their deepest selves, for it is from those deep selves
that
the Chaos Mage forges his or her gods and demons.

Such dualistic concepts as “white” or “black” magic are not
applicable
to Chaos Magic, at least not in the sense of being good or
evil.
Magic
is a force, like electromagnetism, and has no inherent moral
qualities.
Peter Carroll wrote in Liber Null, “The end results of either
path
are
likely not to be dissimilar, for the paths meet in a way that
is
impossible to describe. The so-called ‘middle way’, or path
of
knowledge, consisting of the mere second hand acquisition of
ideas,
is
an excuse to do neither and leads nowhere.” As a result, Chaos
Magicians tend toward pushing the extremes, finding balance
by
swinging
from pole to pole, rather than seeking “moderation.”

Howard

What Howard wrote made me think about something that
I’ve wondered about before but never wrote to the
list. I’ve spent probably 3 hours looking through
Mindvox which I’ve done before so many times and
always get the same feeling from it which is that
there are so many pieces in it that go into all these
directions and some of it is really funny and some of
it is beautiful, some of it is ugly and obnoxious but
it’s like this strange temple and every time I look
there is some piece somewhere that’s changed, so some
of you are obviously doing something with it.

This one tag line at the top caught my attention and
made me keep thinking and reading through links
tonight.

Psychedelic Temple of The Apocalypse

Then someone whos name I’ve forgot and I’m sorry 🙁
wrote that everything Patrick is doing is shamanism,
then there have been so many messages to the list
before about this but the one I remember when someone
asked what Mindvox is a long time ago, the answer was
‘Patrick’s brain blown through a cuisanart’ and that
made me laugh but I’m not laughing anymore, I keep
thinking about it and don’t understand because to use
even another quote and I’m sorry I’ll stop with
quotes, is ‘Mindvox is a video game for
schizophrenics’

What I mean is even something as small as those tag
lines. I can sit there and click them for hours which
I have done when I’m stoned and they keep coming with
new ones. Are there hundreds of them, thousands? The
whole site is huge, it looks like something that took
a lot of effort and time to make and what is the
purpose for it exactly? I mean the main Mindvox site
itself not Mindvox Ibogaine and the list, which are
beautiful but have a definite reason for being here.

Then I keep reading a clicking and keep getting more
questions. The main Mindvox logo is a really beautiful
psychedelic symbol of chaos. Then I click open
ibogaine.mindvox.com and Dave Hunter is painting
purple symbols of chaos, then that religion in
slovenia I’m sorry I don’t know the official name or
is it Sacrament of transition? Has another symbol of
chaos.

The ‘Purple Shit’ Patrick talks about, now it’s
appearing in Dave Hunter’s art, it shows up on Erowid
dedicated to Patrick and Howard:

http://www.erowid.org/culture/art/artists_h/art_hunter_dave.shtml

At first it was only Patrick doing this, but it’s like
it is spreading all over the place, symbols of chaos
and purple, so what I am really wondering is what does
all of it mean? What are you doing exactly, when I
look up the symbol of chaos it has so many different
answers too, the closest thing the writing agrees on
is that its a combination of white and black magic and
a non religion, non belief system, individual
spirituality, which makes as much sense as Mindvox
does. Which makes no sense. The rest of the writing
agrees on nearly nothing, it can’t even agree on where
the symbol came from or what it means at all!

What I’m very respectfully asking is, what does it all
mean to all of you? Patrick? You are very smart, very
funny, but don’t ever answer anything. Dave Hunter
wrote a answer once to the list when he started
painting the ‘Purple Shit’ about god through
photoshop.

The last thing I read was Trajectories which I love
and always blows me away because it’s such a huge
combination of everything that says everything at once
while saying nothing, I read it and feel like I just
took acid and I don’t mean to kiss your ass Patrick,
youre a really brilliant writer but is this how your
brain is working now, most of the time, all the time?
Its like you are connecting everything to everything
all at once.

What does all of it mean? I’m right back to what
Howard wrote about this being a Temple and it feels
that way which is a great feeling but I’ve been here 3
years at least now and I still don’t get it and feel
like I spend a lot of my time inside this mystery
thinking that all of it will make sense someday but
none of it ever does, it only gets weirder and keeps
spreading!

I’d still like to know what is the deal with the
symbol of chaos? What does it mean? Since nowhere I go
online where I look it up agrees with any other
definition of it, what does it mean to you Patrick?
You started up with it and now it’s all over the place
so obviously it must mean something to your friends
who are painting it and putting it everywhere,
what?????

I think what I’m saying is thanks to all of you and
love to everyone on the list 🙂 🙂 And a lot of love
to Preston!!!!! 🙂

REINTEGRATION

It was a bright day in the middle of the night, and I
was walking down this road which was like an
escalator. Then I saw these people, and kept trying to
talk to them, but already it was too late, and my
watch was running backwards. And these midgets in
latex tutu’s starting scampering across the ceiling
which dissolved into an ocean, and I was drowning . .
. but then at the bottom of the ocean I walked across
the floor and opened this oyster which had a pearl in
it; and I felt all warm and fuzzy, and then a meadow
appeared . . .

. . . and I understood, and wow, this is so cool, it’s
just like love and sunshine, and puppies, and
ice-cream, and sex, except kinda like all at once… I
never knew I loved having sex with puppies while
eating ice-cream in the sunshine– err, back that up a
sentence or two, that’s not exactly what I meant. And
as I thought that, I realized that maybe my thinking,
was all thunk out, so this chasm blows open and I was
in a graveyard . . . after I got done clubbing the
baby-seals, it seemed that it was beyond too late —
even though time had stopped running backwards, and
started moving sideways in spirals — I have an
appointment to give blood, seems I hafta go face-first
through this lawnmower, and then I’m scheduled to tour
at least 3 layers of hell before lunch, and–

. . . and my spirit guide held my hand, and we walked

lined-up; they delivered a stern anti-drug lecture,
while showing me ScArY MoViES of what my life would be
like if I didn’t stop doing drugs. But then God came
down from heaven, gave me a big kiss, and dissolved
into this shower of golden-light, and I knew that all
the answers I was seeking through drugs were always
inside of me, and I was healed.

Furthermore, to Clarify:

Now obviously, this explains why Gestalt is mostly
correct, EMDR works some of the time, and Primal
Therapy has the right idea. Schroedinger saw some
light in the darkness, Neitzsche saw darkness in the
light, and Hitler, Jesus, and Max Planck discussed it
over tea one day, with the Mad Hatter acting as an
independent peer-review committee, and Dostoyevsky
taking down the minutes — but he wasn’t paying
attention a lotta the time; this is okay ‘cuz Godel
had a parabolic mic aimed at the whole-entire
scenario. Also, furthermore, this is only accurate on
every other Tuesday, of leap-years, unless Peter
Melchior manages to reintegrate John Lilly, and
Timothy Leary gives him some therapy.

Because sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, unless
Freud didn’t say that, uhm, what did he say again, oh
yeah, “you people are all basically just totally
fucked up. Now, who took my cocaine, and where the
hell did my niece go… I’d call Sherlock Holmes to
figure this out, but he’s off somewhere banging-up
speedballs. He’s repressed anyway, and really needs to
get laid.” Of course, this is only metaphorically a
parable, because Sherlock Holmes was a real person,
whereas Freud was a strung-out champion of law and
order, only in books, and on the astral planes.

But anyway, as anyone can see this only works on the
primary and secondary levels of quaternary dualism,
unless it doesn’t. Christian Science, the Koran,
Buddhism, Shivaism, Scientology, and the Muslims, are
seeing at least part of the spectrum of possibility,
except when they’re not. But it really doesn’t matter
because Socrates knew it — tho’ he didn’t write it
down — Plato (who was a whiny little fuckhead)
plagiarized it, and Aristotle retrieved and refined
it.

Strings are a good theory, but sometimes Viagra works
better, because as Heisenberg explained, the
Uncertainty Principle doesn’t really start to throb
unless the strange attractor is wearing a mini and
heels, in which case non-linear dynamics will cause
the butterfly with broken wings to nose-dive, this
will make Voltaire depressed a lot of the time; but
ultimately it’s all-good because when Freud dropped
the cigar, Fromm picked it up and re-lit it, Sartre
stuck it in his mouth but never inhaled, and Jung
understood all of it, in its entire totality, some of
the time — even though he didn’t smoke cigars.

Baudelaire and Rimbaud lived it, Shelley kinda flopped
around a lot and drowned, but his wife nailed it;
Byron also nailed a lot of things — lacking a
camcorder and a web site, on occasion he even wrote
some of them down. Tesla and Willhelm Reich had it all
written out in invisible ink on SekRet DocumenTz,
hidden under an orgone accumulator, until THEY, THEM,
and THOSE PEOPLE, ruined everything. Escher took the
remnants and made a moebious-strip out of them. Once
the colors got all smeared, C.S. Lewis and Dr. Seuss
summed it all up in one cohesive whole, understandable
by any child; however, when most adults try to
cross-connect the spirals of rainbows, they just end
up with mud.

Lately though, I’m starting to have a lot of dreams
about sex. This means its time to take a really long
plane-ride. In conclusion, black-lights are pretty
groovy, but somehow — for me anyway — lava-lamps,
just get real old, real fast. The ‘Dead mahn —
Yahhhhhhhh — Uhm, I don’t like the dead; it’s not an
option dude, they’re the Dead Mahn, yahhhhh! — Uhm,
okay, I guess, do you have any Nine Inch Nails?

After Ibogaine, nothing is weird.  Even getting close to it is
transformative.  The more you accept the magic and the belief in it, that is the belief in
yourself in time and space the easier transformation becomes.  Transformation
happens on a continual basis.

Carla whatever it is that you’re reading here you go from the first
10
results on the first page of google.

.:vector:.

Peter Carroll: “If you want a one-line definition with which most
Chaosists would not disagree, then I offer the following: Chaosists
usually accept the meta-belief that belief itself is only a tool
for
achieving effects; it is not an end in itself.”

Meta-belief is an important concept in Chaos Magic. It is the idea
that
belief is nothing more than a state of mind, and as such, can be
manipulated by the will. Belief is a psychological state that can
be
deliberately self-manipulated, although it has the power to shape
our
own reality, and sometimes other people’s reality as well. It is
the
means, not the end; the vehicle, not the destination.

The practice of meta-belief confers an awful freedom and an awful
responsibility. Practicing the temporary adoption of an obsessive
belief system that allows for the possibility of accomplishing
specific
effects, and then the abandonment of that belief system upon the
completion of the work. Subsequent, and even contradictory belief
systems are adopted in turn as need or desire may dictate. To do
this
(and not go completely insane) it is of paramount importance that
no
one particular set of beliefs is ever accepted as being ultimately
true.

The essence of magic is non-verbal and personally unique. The key
is
the imagination, and the doors are the altered states of
consciousness.
You can meditate, burn all the candles and chant all the
incantations
you want, but if your mind isn’t transported to another place in
the
process, it isn’t going to amount to much.

There are myriad ways to alter one’s conscious perceptions in
different
directions, and part of the journey is learning how your
consciousness
functions and how to alter it in accordance with your intention.

Like a method actor, a Chaos Magician seeks to circumvent everyday
reality and suspend disbelief. To do this he or she uses the tools
of
the actor: setting, costumes, props, words, sounds, and especially
what
Stanislavsky called emotional memory. Any powerful, transformative
experience can be used to tap into the emotional memory, including
sex,
pain, confusion, elation, disgust and ecstasy — especially in
paradoxical combinations.

As a result, Chaos Magic is magic without limitations. Chaos magic
is
not a new system, or a rehash of older systems, or any kind of
system
at all. It’s a new attitude. It’s a different way of looking at the
Art
of Magic — as an expression of Art above all other considerations.
Like so many Artists, Chaos Mages tend toward an attitude of
elitism,
since a great part of the creation of Art is the pursuit of
excellence,
and pride in oneself and one’s creations when excellence is
achieved.
An elitist attitude (as long as it’s balanced with compassion and
doesn’t desend into bigotry) is forgivable in the Artist, for
without
it no great work of Art would ever be realized.

The practice of Chaos Magic can be destablizing, because it’s
designed
to deconstruct belief. Like psychedelic drugs, it can drastically
alter
your reality. So it’s not for the squeamish, or for those who fear
what
lurks in their deepest selves, for it is from those deep selves
that
the Chaos Mage forges his or her gods and demons.

Such dualistic concepts as “white” or “black” magic are not
applicable
to Chaos Magic, at least not in the sense of being good or evil.
Magic
is a force, like electromagnetism, and has no inherent moral
qualities.
Peter Carroll wrote in Liber Null, “The end results of either path
are
likely not to be dissimilar, for the paths meet in a way that is
impossible to describe. The so-called ‘middle way’, or path of
knowledge, consisting of the mere second hand acquisition of ideas,
is
an excuse to do neither and leads nowhere.” As a result, Chaos
Magicians tend toward pushing the extremes, finding balance by
swinging
from pole to pole, rather than seeking “moderation.”

What Howard wrote made me think about something that
I’ve wondered about before but never wrote to the
list. I’ve spent probably 3 hours looking through
Mindvox which I’ve done before so many times and
always get the same feeling from it which is that
there are so many pieces in it that go into all these
directions and some of it is really funny and some of
it is beautiful, some of it is ugly and obnoxious but
it’s like this strange temple and every time I look
there is some piece somewhere that’s changed, so some
of you are obviously doing something with it.

This one tag line at the top caught my attention and
made me keep thinking and reading through links
tonight.

Psychedelic Temple of The Apocalypse

Then someone whos name I’ve forgot and I’m sorry 🙁
wrote that everything Patrick is doing is shamanism,
then there have been so many messages to the list
before about this but the one I remember when someone
asked what Mindvox is a long time ago, the answer was
‘Patrick’s brain blown through a cuisanart’ and that
made me laugh but I’m not laughing anymore, I keep
thinking about it and don’t understand because to use
even another quote and I’m sorry I’ll stop with
quotes, is ‘Mindvox is a video game for
schizophrenics’

What I mean is even something as small as those tag
lines. I can sit there and click them for hours which
I have done when I’m stoned and they keep coming with
new ones. Are there hundreds of them, thousands? The
whole site is huge, it looks like something that took
a lot of effort and time to make and what is the
purpose for it exactly? I mean the main Mindvox site
itself not Mindvox Ibogaine and the list, which are
beautiful but have a definite reason for being here.

Then I keep reading a clicking and keep getting more
questions. The main Mindvox logo is a really beautiful
psychedelic symbol of chaos. Then I click open
ibogaine.mindvox.com and Dave Hunter is painting
purple symbols of chaos, then that religion in
slovenia I’m sorry I don’t know the official name or
is it Sacrament of transition? Has another symbol of
chaos.

The ‘Purple Shit’ Patrick talks about, now it’s
appearing in Dave Hunter’s art, it shows up on Erowid
dedicated to Patrick and Howard:

http://www.erowid.org/culture/art/artists_h/art_hunter_dave.shtml

At first it was only Patrick doing this, but it’s like
it is spreading all over the place, symbols of chaos
and purple, so what I am really wondering is what does
all of it mean? What are you doing exactly, when I
look up the symbol of chaos it has so many different
answers too, the closest thing the writing agrees on
is that its a combination of white and black magic and
a non religion, non belief system, individual
spirituality, which makes as much sense as Mindvox
does. Which makes no sense. The rest of the writing
agrees on nearly nothing, it can’t even agree on where
the symbol came from or what it means at all!

What I’m very respectfully asking is, what does it all
mean to all of you? Patrick? You are very smart, very
funny, but don’t ever answer anything. Dave Hunter
wrote a answer once to the list when he started
painting the ‘Purple Shit’ about god through
photoshop.

The last thing I read was Trajectories which I love
and always blows me away because it’s such a huge
combination of everything that says everything at once
while saying nothing, I read it and feel like I just
took acid and I don’t mean to kiss your ass Patrick,
youre a really brilliant writer but is this how your
brain is working now, most of the time, all the time?
Its like you are connecting everything to everything
all at once.

What does all of it mean? I’m right back to what
Howard wrote about this being a Temple and it feels
that way which is a great feeling but I’ve been here 3
years at least now and I still don’t get it and feel
like I spend a lot of my time inside this mystery
thinking that all of it will make sense someday but
none of it ever does, it only gets weirder and keeps
spreading!

I’d still like to know what is the deal with the
symbol of chaos? What does it mean? Since nowhere I go
online where I look it up agrees with any other
definition of it, what does it mean to you Patrick?
You started up with it and now it’s all over the place
so obviously it must mean something to your friends
who are painting it and putting it everywhere,
what?????

I think what I’m saying is thanks to all of you and
love to everyone on the list 🙂 🙂 And a lot of love
to Preston!!!!! 🙂

REINTEGRATION

It was a bright day in the middle of the night, and I
was walking down this road which was like an
escalator. Then I saw these people, and kept trying to
talk to them, but already it was too late, and my
watch was running backwards. And these midgets in
latex tutu’s starting scampering across the ceiling
which dissolved into an ocean, and I was drowning . .
. but then at the bottom of the ocean I walked across
the floor and opened this oyster which had a pearl in
it; and I felt all warm and fuzzy, and then a meadow
appeared . . .

. . . and I understood, and wow, this is so cool, it’s
just like love and sunshine, and puppies, and
ice-cream, and sex, except kinda like all at once… I
never knew I loved having sex with puppies while
eating ice-cream in the sunshine– err, back that up a
sentence or two, that’s not exactly what I meant. And
as I thought that, I realized that maybe my thinking,
was all thunk out, so this chasm blows open and I was
in a graveyard . . . after I got done clubbing the
baby-seals, it seemed that it was beyond too late —
even though time had stopped running backwards, and
started moving sideways in spirals — I have an
appointment to give blood, seems I hafta go face-first
through this lawnmower, and then I’m scheduled to tour
at least 3 layers of hell before lunch, and–

. . . and my spirit guide held my hand, and we walked
on the water, over to where all my dead relatives were
lined-up; they delivered a stern anti-drug lecture,
while showing me ScArY MoViES of what my life would be
like if I didn’t stop doing drugs. But then God came
down from heaven, gave me a big kiss, and dissolved
into this shower of golden-light, and I knew that all

Howard, Good Morning! My topic has nothing to do with ‘religion’. It is about something you once wrote about but I nevger really gleamed a firm response from you. It is about death and Ibogaine. I spoke with Sara about this as well and she did have some specifics but about the same as you. You stated there were 4 known deaths resulting from experiences with Ibo, but you believed (or Sara said it?) two of the people had heart disease and should not have been doing it at that time in their life and the other two got high during their session or right after and not believing their tolerance level to opiates decreased, they died (really OD’d from getting off) Weren’t there autopsies? Didn’t anyone follow up on this? The reason I’m bringing this up is I intend to do Ibogaine with Sara in the fall, but something came up here in NYC. I was asked not to really talk about it in detail yet but it/s going to happen for me in two weeks and I’m …well I doin’t want to be concerned with my dying while on IBO. I mean if I die, I die but I don’t wish to dwell on it while experiencing. I don’t want to create a negative ‘set’ for my experience. Please help me with this issue. To others on the forum, I didn’t  want to sound cryptic or sneaky and I’ll ask these people if I can talk about  it a little more. I can tell you if you if you have the funds and wish to do Ibogaine, they are looking to “spread the joy” so to speak. Write me at dustfcker0@aol.com on Tuesday.
Thanks Howard,
Julian

Thanks! But I didn’t say it! 🙂 I’m cutting and pasting the answers to
what the chaos symbol means. I don’t claim to get all of it, but this
whole place is cool as fuck 🙂

Maybe it’s changing me and I’m getting weirder, but I don’t find
Mindvox or any of the people here weird anymore. Interesting yes.
Different for sure 🙂

Carla whatever it is that you’re reading here you go from the first
10
results on the first page of google.

Peter Carroll: “If you want a one-line definition with which most
Chaosists would not disagree, then I offer the following: Chaosists
usually accept the meta-belief that belief itself is only a tool
for
achieving effects; it is not an end in itself.”

Meta-belief is an important concept in Chaos Magic. It is the idea
that
belief is nothing more than a state of mind, and as such, can be
manipulated by the will. Belief is a psychological state that can
be
deliberately self-manipulated, although it has the power to shape
our
own reality, and sometimes other people’s reality as well. It is
the
means, not the end; the vehicle, not the destination.

The practice of meta-belief confers an awful freedom and an awful
responsibility. Practicing the temporary adoption of an obsessive
belief system that allows for the possibility of accomplishing
specific
effects, and then the abandonment of that belief system upon the
completion of the work. Subsequent, and even contradictory belief
systems are adopted in turn as need or desire may dictate. To do
this
(and not go completely insane) it is of paramount importance that
no
one particular set of beliefs is ever accepted as being ultimately
true.

The essence of magic is non-verbal and personally unique. The key
is
the imagination, and the doors are the altered states of
consciousness.
You can meditate, burn all the candles and chant all the
incantations
you want, but if your mind isn’t transported to another place in
the
process, it isn’t going to amount to much.

There are myriad ways to alter one’s conscious perceptions in
different
directions, and part of the journey is learning how your
consciousness
functions and how to alter it in accordance with your intention.

Like a method actor, a Chaos Magician seeks to circumvent everyday
reality and suspend disbelief. To do this he or she uses the tools
of
the actor: setting, costumes, props, words, sounds, and especially
what
Stanislavsky called emotional memory. Any powerful, transformative
experience can be used to tap into the emotional memory, including
sex,
pain, confusion, elation, disgust and ecstasy — especially in
paradoxical combinations.

As a result, Chaos Magic is magic without limitations. Chaos magic
is
not a new system, or a rehash of older systems, or any kind of
system
at all. It’s a new attitude. It’s a different way of looking at the
Art
of Magic — as an expression of Art above all other considerations.
Like so many Artists, Chaos Mages tend toward an attitude of
elitism,
since a great part of the creation of Art is the pursuit of
excellence,
and pride in oneself and one’s creations when excellence is
achieved.
An elitist attitude (as long as it’s balanced with compassion and
doesn’t desend into bigotry) is forgivable in the Artist, for
without
it no great work of Art would ever be realized.

The practice of Chaos Magic can be destablizing, because it’s
designed
to deconstruct belief. Like psychedelic drugs, it can drastically
alter
your reality. So it’s not for the squeamish, or for those who fear
what
lurks in their deepest selves, for it is from those deep selves
that
the Chaos Mage forges his or her gods and demons.

Such dualistic concepts as “white” or “black” magic are not
applicable
to Chaos Magic, at least not in the sense of being good or evil.
Magic
is a force, like electromagnetism, and has no inherent moral
qualities.
Peter Carroll wrote in Liber Null, “The end results of either path
are
likely not to be dissimilar, for the paths meet in a way that is
impossible to describe. The so-called ‘middle way’, or path of
knowledge, consisting of the mere second hand acquisition of ideas,
is
an excuse to do neither and leads nowhere.” As a result, Chaos
Magicians tend toward pushing the extremes, finding balance by
swinging
from pole to pole, rather than seeking “moderation.”

Howard

What Howard wrote made me think about something that
I’ve wondered about before but never wrote to the
list. I’ve spent probably 3 hours looking through
Mindvox which I’ve done before so many times and
always get the same feeling from it which is that
there are so many pieces in it that go into all these
directions and some of it is really funny and some of
it is beautiful, some of it is ugly and obnoxious but
it’s like this strange temple and every time I look
there is some piece somewhere that’s changed, so some
of you are obviously doing something with it.

This one tag line at the top caught my attention and
made me keep thinking and reading through links
tonight.

Psychedelic Temple of The Apocalypse

Then someone whos name I’ve forgot and I’m sorry 🙁
wrote that everything Patrick is doing is shamanism,
then there have been so many messages to the list
before about this but the one I remember when someone
asked what Mindvox is a long time ago, the answer was
‘Patrick’s brain blown through a cuisanart’ and that
made me laugh but I’m not laughing anymore, I keep
thinking about it and don’t understand because to use
even another quote and I’m sorry I’ll stop with
quotes, is ‘Mindvox is a video game for
schizophrenics’

What I mean is even something as small as those tag
lines. I can sit there and click them for hours which
I have done when I’m stoned and they keep coming with
new ones. Are there hundreds of them, thousands? The
whole site is huge, it looks like something that took
a lot of effort and time to make and what is the
purpose for it exactly? I mean the main Mindvox site
itself not Mindvox Ibogaine and the list, which are
beautiful but have a definite reason for being here.

Then I keep reading a clicking and keep getting more
questions. The main Mindvox logo is a really beautiful
psychedelic symbol of chaos. Then I click open
ibogaine.mindvox.com and Dave Hunter is painting
purple symbols of chaos, then that religion in
slovenia I’m sorry I don’t know the official name or
is it Sacrament of transition? Has another symbol of
chaos.

The ‘Purple Shit’ Patrick talks about, now it’s
appearing in Dave Hunter’s art, it shows up on Erowid
dedicated to Patrick and Howard:

http://www.erowid.org/culture/art/artists_h/art_hunter_dave.shtml

At first it was only Patrick doing this, but it’s like
it is spreading all over the place, symbols of chaos
and purple, so what I am really wondering is what does
all of it mean? What are you doing exactly, when I
look up the symbol of chaos it has so many different
answers too, the closest thing the writing agrees on
is that its a combination of white and black magic and
a non religion, non belief system, individual
spirituality, which makes as much sense as Mindvox
does. Which makes no sense. The rest of the writing
agrees on nearly nothing, it can’t even agree on where
the symbol came from or what it means at all!

What I’m very respectfully asking is, what does it all
mean to all of you? Patrick? You are very smart, very
funny, but don’t ever answer anything. Dave Hunter
wrote a answer once to the list when he started
painting the ‘Purple Shit’ about god through
photoshop.

The last thing I read was Trajectories which I love
and always blows me away because it’s such a huge
combination of everything that says everything at once
while saying nothing, I read it and feel like I just
took acid and I don’t mean to kiss your ass Patrick,
youre a really brilliant writer but is this how your
brain is working now, most of the time, all the time?
Its like you are connecting everything to everything
all at once.

What does all of it mean? I’m right back to what
Howard wrote about this being a Temple and it feels
that way which is a great feeling but I’ve been here 3
years at least now and I still don’t get it and feel
like I spend a lot of my time inside this mystery
thinking that all of it will make sense someday but
none of it ever does, it only gets weirder and keeps
spreading!

I’d still like to know what is the deal with the
symbol of chaos? What does it mean? Since nowhere I go
online where I look it up agrees with any other
definition of it, what does it mean to you Patrick?
You started up with it and now it’s all over the place
so obviously it must mean something to your friends
who are painting it and putting it everywhere,
what?????

I think what I’m saying is thanks to all of you and
love to everyone on the list 🙂 🙂 And a lot of love
to Preston!!!!! 🙂

REINTEGRATION

It was a bright day in the middle of the night, and I
was walking down this road which was like an
escalator. Then I saw these people, and kept trying to
talk to them, but already it was too late, and my
watch was running backwards. And these midgets in
latex tutu’s starting scampering across the ceiling
which dissolved into an ocean, and I was drowning . .
. but then at the bottom of the ocean I walked across
the floor and opened this oyster which had a pearl in
it; and I felt all warm and fuzzy, and then a meadow
appeared . . .

. . . and I understood, and wow, this is so cool, it’s
just like love and sunshine, and puppies, and
ice-cream, and sex, except kinda like all at once… I
never knew I loved having sex with puppies while
eating ice-cream in the sunshine– err, back that up a
sentence or two, that’s not exactly what I meant. And
as I thought that, I realized that maybe my thinking,
was all thunk out, so this chasm blows open and I was
in a graveyard . . . after I got done clubbing the
baby-seals, it seemed that it was beyond too late —
even though time had stopped running backwards, and
started moving sideways in spirals — I have an
appointment to give blood, seems I hafta go face-first
through this lawnmower, and then I’m scheduled to tour
at least 3 layers of hell before lunch, and–

. . . and my spirit guide held my hand, and we walked
on the water, over to where all my dead relatives were
lined-up; they delivered a stern anti-drug lecture,
while showing me ScArY MoViES of what my life would be
like if I didn’t stop doing drugs. But then God came
down from heaven, gave me a big kiss, and dissolved
into this shower of golden-light, and I knew that all
the answers I was seeking through drugs were always
inside of me, and I was healed.

Furthermore, to Clarify:

Now obviously, this explains why Gestalt is mostly
correct, EMDR works some of the time, and Primal
Therapy has the right idea. Schroedinger saw some
light in the darkness, Neitzsche saw darkness in the
light, and Hitler, Jesus, and Max Planck discussed it
over tea one day, with the Mad Hatter acting as an
independent peer-review committee, and Dostoyevsky
taking down the minutes — but he wasn’t paying
attention a lotta the time; this is okay ‘cuz Godel
had a parabolic mic aimed at the whole-entire
scenario. Also, furthermore, this is only accurate on
every other Tuesday, of leap-years, unless Peter
Melchior manages to reintegrate John Lilly, and
Timothy Leary gives him some therapy.

Because sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, unless
Freud didn’t say that, uhm, what did he say again, oh
yeah, “you people are all basically just totally
fucked up. Now, who took my cocaine, and where the
hell did my niece go… I’d call Sherlock Holmes to
figure this out, but he’s off somewhere banging-up
speedballs. He’s repressed anyway, and really needs to
get laid.” Of course, this is only metaphorically a
parable, because Sherlock Holmes was a real person,
whereas Freud was a strung-out champion of law and
order, only in books, and on the astral planes.

But anyway, as anyone can see this only works on the
primary and secondary levels of quaternary dualism,
unless it doesn’t. Christian Science, the Koran,
Buddhism, Shivaism, Scientology, and the Muslims, are
seeing at least part of the spectrum of possibility,
except when they’re not. But it really doesn’t matter
because Socrates knew it — tho’ he didn’t write it
down — Plato (who was a whiny little fuckhead)
plagiarized it, and Aristotle retrieved and refined
it.

Strings are a good theory, but sometimes Viagra works
better, because as Heisenberg explained, the
Uncertainty Principle doesn’t really start to throb
unless the strange attractor is wearing a mini and
heels, in which case non-linear dynamics will cause
the butterfly with broken wings to nose-dive, this
will make Voltaire depressed a lot of the time; but
ultimately it’s all-good because when Freud dropped
the cigar, Fromm picked it up and re-lit it, Sartre
stuck it in his mouth but never inhaled, and Jung
understood all of it, in its entire totality, some of
the time — even though he didn’t smoke cigars.

Baudelaire and Rimbaud lived it, Shelley kinda flopped
around a lot and drowned, but his wife nailed it;
Byron also nailed a lot of things — lacking a
camcorder and a web site, on occasion he even wrote
some of them down. Tesla and Willhelm Reich had it all
written out in invisible ink on SekRet DocumenTz,
hidden under an orgone accumulator, until THEY, THEM,
and THOSE PEOPLE, ruined everything. Escher took the
remnants and made a moebious-strip out of them. Once
the colors got all smeared, C.S. Lewis and Dr. Seuss
summed it all up in one cohesive whole, understandable
by any child; however, when most adults try to
cross-connect the spirals of rainbows, they just end
up with mud.

Lately though, I’m starting to have a lot of dreams
about sex. This means its time to take a really long
plane-ride. In conclusion, black-lights are pretty
groovy, but somehow — for me anyway — lava-lamps,
just get real old, real fast. The ‘Dead mahn —
Yahhhhhhhh — Uhm, I don’t like the dead; it’s not an
option dude, they’re the Dead Mahn, yahhhhh! — Uhm,
okay, I guess, do you have any Nine Inch Nails?

Obviously,

The MindVox servers are located 100 feet underground
in New Mexico, Utah, and Pig’s Knuckle, OH. They are
fully distributed, entirely redundant, and completely
recombinant. Vox is INVINCIBLE, Invisible and
psychotic — it enters the mind through the eye and
spreads throughout the organism.

MindVox operates on a principle similar to RADAR, but
is highly unstable and FLYING out of everything. It
has an array of OC3’s with direct interfaces to the
ley-lines circling the earth. Its NOC’s are located at
Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, and a
distributed-system of Lost Temples hidden at the
earth’s core. The earth is hollow, conclusive and
fully documented proof is available in the works of
Nazi Scientist Genius: Hans Horbiger (who should not,
and MUST not, be confused with the Scientist in Outer
Space), who EXPOSED the whole entire truth (in its
complete totality). THOSE PEOPLE, sadly, just didn’t
understand.

Customer Support for MindVox is located in a little
white house with a big UPS in the West Indies, a
small, nondescript dwelling 10km. west of Lop Buri,
Thailand, and a SERIES of completely trashed
apartments on the upper east side in NYC.

MindVox has been used for centuries in smaller doses
to combat fatigue and boredom, and higher ranges, as
part of spiritual initiation rituals in the Voxer
Religion. MindVox HCl was first made available in 1991
and will finally be released as an unbound freebase in
2001. In the very near future we hope to have Vox
available in an exciting variety of flavored
suppositories, in an assortment of sizes, so that you
can stick it up your ass.

MindVox UNDERSTANDS that Aleister Crowley was just
misunderstood. The Book of Coming Forth by Night and
Doing a Lot of Coke wasn’t his fault. That was his
DISEASE, plus, also, Aiwiss made him do BAD THINGS.
Although, to be honest, Vox loves receiving Hate Mail
and Death Threats from Satanic Masters of the Dark
Arts who threaten to Smite it Down if it Doesn’t STOP
mocking (who’s mocking?) the Great Beast (what did we
ever say about Marilyn Manson? He’s an EXCELLENT
musician). Deep down inside, MindVox KNOWS that these
letters ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and WITHOUT A DOUBT do
NOT come from welfare-collecting, computer-twerps who
sit on the Internet 24hrs. a day. It Fully Realizes
its Whole Entire Future is in Grave Peril and vibrates
inside with Tremendous Glee…

MindVox was INSIDE the Bayer corporation when they
invented the cure for coughs. It hovered briefly in
the general vicinity of Freud when he UNVEILED the
Whole Entire panacea for depression, but then left,
because he made its head hurt, lots and lots. Vox
loves, believes in, and STANDS BEHIND all B-D
products, which make hypodermic syringes that should
ONLY be used for IM’ing insulin — never, ever,
anything else . . . at all. It chooses to disbelieve
in the Secret, Hidden Network of Iranian Gas-Station
Owners who are nearly always out of gas, change, or
any food product that did not expire 3 years ago. They
do, however, have a near-endless supply of baking soda
and brillo, plus, also, not to be forgotten, Many
Thousands of Mysterious Glass Tubes — which the
super-friendly worker will hand you through the
bulletproof glass if he KNOWS you — which could serve
almost ANY purpose imaginable, but are definitely,
without a doubt, and absolutely, NOT crackpipes.
MindVox understands this is just another conspiracy by
the Illuminati, CIA and Black Panthers.

MindVox SEES the REAL you. Yes YOU, it KNOWS that
you’re so special, you’re all aglow with specialness.
It finds you interesting, different, and totally
unique — it loves you, lots and lots, and wants to
eXchange bodily fluids. Vox is sensitive — whole
Legions of Mental Health Experts, have PROVEN and
EXPLAINED this — and lies awake at night crying,
feeling the pain of the Horrible Atrocities being
COMMITED at the former fully robotic NeXT factory,
where BAD PEOPLE are making the Automation do
TERRIBLE, Unspeakable, THINGS . . .

The Truth is OUT There … and if it’s not; just go
ahead and make things up. Because, really, in The End
(Apocalypse Now Remix), everything is always all-good.
You only need to open your ears to see the truth, and
understand that Saint Cobain died for our sins, Tupac
was killed because he cared TOO MUCH, and Jesus so
loved LSD that he gave the world bisexual women in
thigh-high leather boots.

Complete Documented Proof is available from
the Scientist in Outer Space, upon request.

Randy,

Failure is a terrible word that nails us to the cross and weighs us down.
Possibly in this case we can say it is a word of devil prohibitionists.  In my
attempt to have ibogaine accepted as an FDA approved medication I lost the

wrote a answer once to the list when he started
painting the ‘Purple Shit’ about god through
photoshop.

The last thing I read was Trajectories which I love
and always blows me away because it’s such a huge
combination of everything that says everything at once
while saying nothing, I read it and feel like I just
took acid and I don’t mean to kiss your ass Patrick,
youre a really brilliant writer but is this how your
brain is working now, most of the time, all the time?
Its like you are connecting everything to everything
all at once.

What does all of it mean? I’m right back to what
Howard wrote about this being a Temple and it feels
that way which is a great feeling but I’ve been here 3
years at least now and I still don’t get it and feel
like I spend a lot of my time inside this mystery
thinking that all of it will make sense someday but
none of it ever does, it only gets weirder and keeps
spreading!

I’d still like to know what is the deal with the
symbol of chaos? What does it mean? Since nowhere I go
online where I look it up agrees with any other
definition of it, what does it mean to you Patrick?
You started up with it and now it’s all over the place
so obviously it must mean something to your friends
who are painting it and putting it everywhere,
what?????

I think what I’m saying is thanks to all of you and
love to everyone on the list 🙂 🙂 And a lot of love

REINTEGRATION

It was a bright day in the middle of the night, and I
was walking down this road which was like an
escalator. Then I saw these people, and kept trying to
talk to them, but already it was too late, and my
watch was running backwards. And these midgets in
latex tutu’s starting scampering across the ceiling
which dissolved into an ocean, and I was drowning . .
. but then at the bottom of the ocean I walked across
the floor and opened this oyster which had a pearl in
it; and I felt all warm and fuzzy, and then a meadow
appeared . . .

. . . and I understood, and wow, this is so cool, it’s
just like love and sunshine, and puppies, and
ice-cream, and sex, except kinda like all at once… I
never knew I loved having sex with puppies while
eating ice-cream in the sunshine– err, back that up a
sentence or two, that’s not exactly what I meant. And
as I thought that, I realized that maybe my thinking,
was all thunk out, so this chasm blows open and I was
in a graveyard . . . after I got done clubbing the
baby-seals, it seemed that it was beyond too late —
even though time had stopped running backwards, and
started moving sideways in spirals — I have an
appointment to give blood, seems I hafta go face-first
through this lawnmower, and then I’m scheduled to tour
at least 3 layers of hell before lunch, and–

. . . and my spirit guide held my hand, and we walked
on the water, over to where all my dead relatives were
lined-up; they delivered a stern anti-drug lecture,
while showing me ScArY MoViES of what my life would be
like if I didn’t stop doing drugs. But then God came
down from heaven, gave me a big kiss, and dissolved
into this shower of golden-light, and I knew that all
the answers I was seeking through drugs were always
inside of me, and I was healed.

Furthermore, to Clarify:

Now obviously, this explains why Gestalt is mostly
correct, EMDR works some of the time, and Primal
Therapy has the right idea. Schroedinger saw some
light in the darkness, Neitzsche saw darkness in the
light, and Hitler, Jesus, and Max Planck discussed it
over tea one day, with the Mad Hatter acting as an
independent peer-review committee, and Dostoyevsky
taking down the minutes — but he wasn’t paying
attention a lotta the time; this is okay ‘cuz Godel
had a parabolic mic aimed at the whole-entire
scenario. Also, furthermore, this is only accurate on
every other Tuesday, of leap-years, unless Peter
Melchior manages to reintegrate John Lilly, and
Timothy Leary gives him some therapy.

Because sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, unless
Freud didn’t say that, uhm, what did he say again, oh
yeah, “you people are all basically just totally
fucked up. Now, who took my cocaine, and where the
hell did my niece go… I’d call Sherlock Holmes to
figure this out, but he’s off somewhere banging-up
speedballs. He’s repressed anyway, and really needs to
get laid.” Of course, this is only metaphorically a
parable, because Sherlock Holmes was a real person,
whereas Freud was a strung-out champion of law and
order, only in books, and on the astral planes.

But anyway, as anyone can see this only works on the
primary and secondary levels of quaternary dualism,
unless it doesn’t. Christian Science, the Koran,
Buddhism, Shivaism, Scientology, and the Muslims, are
seeing at least part of the spectrum of possibility,
except when they’re not. But it really doesn’t matter
because Socrates knew it — tho’ he didn’t write it
down — Plato (who was a whiny little fuckhead)
plagiarized it, and Aristotle retrieved and refined
it.

Strings are a good theory, but sometimes Viagra works
better, because as Heisenberg explained, the
Uncertainty Principle doesn’t really start to throb
unless the strange attractor is wearing a mini and
heels, in which case non-linear dynamics will cause
the butterfly with broken wings to nose-dive, this
will make Voltaire depressed a lot of the time; but
ultimately it’s all-good because when Freud dropped
the cigar, Fromm picked it up and re-lit it, Sartre
stuck it in his mouth but never inhaled, and Jung
understood all of it, in its entire totality, some of
the time — even though he didn’t smoke cigars.

Baudelaire and Rimbaud lived it, Shelley kinda flopped
around a lot and drowned, but his wife nailed it;
Byron also nailed a lot of things — lacking a
camcorder and a web site, on occasion he even wrote
some of them down. Tesla and Willhelm Reich had it all
written out in invisible ink on SekRet DocumenTz,
hidden under an orgone accumulator, until THEY, THEM,
and THOSE PEOPLE, ruined everything. Escher took the
remnants and made a moebious-strip out of them. Once
the colors got all smeared, C.S. Lewis and Dr. Seuss
summed it all up in one cohesive whole, understandable
by any child; however, when most adults try to
cross-connect the spirals of rainbows, they just end
up with mud.

Lately though, I’m starting to have a lot of dreams
about sex. This means its time to take a really long
plane-ride. In conclusion, black-lights are pretty
groovy, but somehow — for me anyway — lava-lamps,
just get real old, real fast. The ‘Dead mahn —
Yahhhhhhhh — Uhm, I don’t like the dead; it’s not an
option dude, they’re the Dead Mahn, yahhhhh! — Uhm,
okay, I guess, do you have any Nine Inch Nails?

Obviously,

The MindVox servers are located 100 feet underground
in New Mexico, Utah, and Pig’s Knuckle, OH. They are
fully distributed, entirely redundant, and completely
recombinant. Vox is INVINCIBLE, Invisible and
psychotic — it enters the mind through the eye and
spreads throughout the organism.

MindVox operates on a principle similar to RADAR, but
is highly unstable and FLYING out of everything. It
has an array of OC3’s with direct interfaces to the
ley-lines circling the earth. Its NOC’s are located at
Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, and a
distributed-system of Lost Temples hidden at the
earth’s core. The earth is hollow, conclusive and
fully documented proof is available in the works of
Nazi Scientist Genius: Hans Horbiger (who should not,
and MUST not, be confused with the Scientist in Outer
Space), who EXPOSED the whole entire truth (in its
complete totality). THOSE PEOPLE, sadly, just didn’t
understand.

Customer Support for MindVox is located in a little
white house with a big UPS in the West Indies, a
small, nondescript dwelling 10km. west of Lop Buri,
Thailand, and a SERIES of completely trashed
apartments on the upper east side in NYC.

MindVox has been used for centuries in smaller doses
to combat fatigue and boredom, and higher ranges, as
part of spiritual initiation rituals in the Voxer
Religion. MindVox HCl was first made available in 1991
and will finally be released as an unbound freebase in
2001. In the very near future we hope to have Vox
available in an exciting variety of flavored
suppositories, in an assortment of sizes, so that you
can stick it up your ass.

MindVox UNDERSTANDS that Aleister Crowley was just
misunderstood. The Book of Coming Forth by Night and
Doing a Lot of Coke wasn’t his fault. That was his
DISEASE, plus, also, Aiwiss made him do BAD THINGS.
Although, to be honest, Vox loves receiving Hate Mail
and Death Threats from Satanic Masters of the Dark
Arts who threaten to Smite it Down if it Doesn’t STOP
mocking (who’s mocking?) the Great Beast (what did we
ever say about Marilyn Manson? He’s an EXCELLENT
musician). Deep down inside, MindVox KNOWS that these
letters ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and WITHOUT A DOUBT do
NOT come from welfare-collecting, computer-twerps who
sit on the Internet 24hrs. a day. It Fully Realizes
its Whole Entire Future is in Grave Peril and vibrates
inside with Tremendous Glee…

MindVox was INSIDE the Bayer corporation when they
invented the cure for coughs. It hovered briefly in
the general vicinity of Freud when he UNVEILED the
Whole Entire panacea for depression, but then left,
because he made its head hurt, lots and lots. Vox
loves, believes in, and STANDS BEHIND all B-D
products, which make hypodermic syringes that should
ONLY be used for IM’ing insulin — never, ever,
anything else . . . at all. It chooses to disbelieve
in the Secret, Hidden Network of Iranian Gas-Station
Owners who are nearly always out of gas, change, or
any food product that did not expire 3 years ago. They
do, however, have a near-endless supply of baking soda
and brillo, plus, also, not to be forgotten, Many
Thousands of Mysterious Glass Tubes — which the
super-friendly worker will hand you through the
bulletproof glass if he KNOWS you — which could serve
almost ANY purpose imaginable, but are definitely,
without a doubt, and absolutely, NOT crackpipes.
MindVox understands this is just another conspiracy by
the Illuminati, CIA and Black Panthers.

MindVox SEES the REAL you. Yes YOU, it KNOWS that
you’re so special, you’re all aglow with specialness.
It finds you interesting, different, and totally
unique — it loves you, lots and lots, and wants to
eXchange bodily fluids. Vox is sensitive — whole
Legions of Mental Health Experts, have PROVEN and
EXPLAINED this — and lies awake at night crying,
feeling the pain of the Horrible Atrocities being
COMMITED at the former fully robotic NeXT factory,
where BAD PEOPLE are making the Automation do
TERRIBLE, Unspeakable, THINGS . . .

The Truth is OUT There … and if it’s not; just go
ahead and make things up. Because, really, in The End
(Apocalypse Now Remix), everything is always all-good.
You only need to open your ears to see the truth, and
understand that Saint Cobain died for our sins, Tupac
was killed because he cared TOO MUCH, and Jesus so
loved LSD that he gave the world bisexual women in
thigh-high leather boots.

Complete Documented Proof is available from
the Scientist in Outer Space, upon request.

The simple first.  I told Preston this was a chapel, and temple is fine also.
so that it would be an appropriate place for him to describe his ibogaine
experience.  Excluding my first meetings with ibogaine in the 1960s I first came
into contact with other participants in Bwiti in 1987 and with enthologists
who studied them about the same time.  In all that time I could never figure out
what the secret part of the ceremony was.  Then I had a discussion with Steve
Anker who had just come back from Gabon where he underwent a Bwiti Initiation
and Steve said the secret part was the visions you see.  So by declaring this
list a Bwiti chapel is allows for Preston and others to provide what they
have seen.

And, it may mean that by setting down the visions electronically and making
them available on web pages, that has been done, that we are expanding Bwiti
with its inherent benefit of freedom from the slavery of addiction as an act of
free will. Of course saying, is not seeing and talking about is not
experiencing.  I have to go back to Fernandez’s book, Bwiti: An Ethnography of the
Religious Imagination in Africa and look at the text of the Bwiti hymns/prayers.  I
think some are there and see what the words are.  It has been some years.

Sandy, I personally am very glad you post. I’ve tried everything and failed too if you want to call it that. But I have to say that all of the modalities that I have tried taught me something. Well, I thought I had tried it all till I heard of Ibogaine. Anyway, RBT, RET changed me a lot and AA kept me from killing myself, I just can’t get totally straight. I’ve got high hopes for Ibogaine but I think acceptance is the key no matter what comes along and It looks like you have a firm grasp on that concept. I hope I can keep the same positive attitude as you when all is said and done. Thanx     Randy

Am I becoming tech support? I want a @mindvox.com account already! 🙂

Carla whatever it is that you’re reading here you go from the first 10
results on the first page of google.

.:vector:.

Peter Carroll: “If you want a one-line definition with which most
Chaosists would not disagree, then I offer the following: Chaosists
usually accept the meta-belief that belief itself is only a tool for
achieving effects; it is not an end in itself.”

Meta-belief is an important concept in Chaos Magic. It is the idea that
belief is nothing more than a state of mind, and as such, can be
manipulated by the will. Belief is a psychological state that can be
deliberately self-manipulated, although it has the power to shape our
own reality, and sometimes other people’s reality as well. It is the
means, not the end; the vehicle, not the destination.

The practice of meta-belief confers an awful freedom and an awful
responsibility. Practicing the temporary adoption of an obsessive
belief system that allows for the possibility of accomplishing specific
effects, and then the abandonment of that belief system upon the
completion of the work. Subsequent, and even contradictory belief
systems are adopted in turn as need or desire may dictate. To do this
(and not go completely insane) it is of paramount importance that no
one particular set of beliefs is ever accepted as being ultimately
true.

The essence of magic is non-verbal and personally unique. The key is
the imagination, and the doors are the altered states of consciousness.
You can meditate, burn all the candles and chant all the incantations
you want, but if your mind isn’t transported to another place in the
process, it isn’t going to amount to much.

There are myriad ways to alter one’s conscious perceptions in different
directions, and part of the journey is learning how your consciousness
functions and how to alter it in accordance with your intention.

Like a method actor, a Chaos Magician seeks to circumvent everyday
reality and suspend disbelief. To do this he or she uses the tools of
the actor: setting, costumes, props, words, sounds, and especially what
Stanislavsky called emotional memory. Any powerful, transformative
experience can be used to tap into the emotional memory, including sex,
pain, confusion, elation, disgust and ecstasy — especially in
paradoxical combinations.

As a result, Chaos Magic is magic without limitations. Chaos magic is
not a new system, or a rehash of older systems, or any kind of system
at all. It’s a new attitude. It’s a different way of looking at the Art
of Magic — as an expression of Art above all other considerations.
Like so many Artists, Chaos Mages tend toward an attitude of elitism,
since a great part of the creation of Art is the pursuit of excellence,
and pride in oneself and one’s creations when excellence is achieved.
An elitist attitude (as long as it’s balanced with compassion and
doesn’t desend into bigotry) is forgivable in the Artist, for without
it no great work of Art would ever be realized.

The practice of Chaos Magic can be destablizing, because it’s designed
to deconstruct belief. Like psychedelic drugs, it can drastically alter
your reality. So it’s not for the squeamish, or for those who fear what
lurks in their deepest selves, for it is from those deep selves that
the Chaos Mage forges his or her gods and demons.

Such dualistic concepts as “white” or “black” magic are not applicable
to Chaos Magic, at least not in the sense of being good or evil. Magic
is a force, like electromagnetism, and has no inherent moral qualities.
Peter Carroll wrote in Liber Null, “The end results of either path are
likely not to be dissimilar, for the paths meet in a way that is
impossible to describe. The so-called ‘middle way’, or path of
knowledge, consisting of the mere second hand acquisition of ideas, is
an excuse to do neither and leads nowhere.” As a result, Chaos
Magicians tend toward pushing the extremes, finding balance by swinging
from pole to pole, rather than seeking “moderation.”

Howard

What Howard wrote made me think about something that
I’ve wondered about before but never wrote to the
list. I’ve spent probably 3 hours looking through
Mindvox which I’ve done before so many times and
always get the same feeling from it which is that
there are so many pieces in it that go into all these
directions and some of it is really funny and some of
it is beautiful, some of it is ugly and obnoxious but
it’s like this strange temple and every time I look
there is some piece somewhere that’s changed, so some
of you are obviously doing something with it.

This one tag line at the top caught my attention and
made me keep thinking and reading through links
tonight.

Psychedelic Temple of The Apocalypse

Then someone whos name I’ve forgot and I’m sorry 🙁
wrote that everything Patrick is doing is shamanism,
then there have been so many messages to the list
before about this but the one I remember when someone
asked what Mindvox is a long time ago, the answer was
‘Patrick’s brain blown through a cuisanart’ and that
made me laugh but I’m not laughing anymore, I keep
thinking about it and don’t understand because to use
even another quote and I’m sorry I’ll stop with
quotes, is ‘Mindvox is a video game for
schizophrenics’

What I mean is even something as small as those tag
lines. I can sit there and click them for hours which
I have done when I’m stoned and they keep coming with
new ones. Are there hundreds of them, thousands? The
whole site is huge, it looks like something that took
a lot of effort and time to make and what is the
purpose for it exactly? I mean the main Mindvox site
itself not Mindvox Ibogaine and the list, which are
beautiful but have a definite reason for being here.

Then I keep reading a clicking and keep getting more
questions. The main Mindvox logo is a really beautiful
psychedelic symbol of chaos. Then I click open
ibogaine.mindvox.com and Dave Hunter is painting
purple symbols of chaos, then that religion in
slovenia I’m sorry I don’t know the official name or
is it Sacrament of transition? Has another symbol of
chaos.

The ‘Purple Shit’ Patrick talks about, now it’s
appearing in Dave Hunter’s art, it shows up on Erowid
dedicated to Patrick and Howard:

http://www.erowid.org/culture/art/artists_h/art_hunter_dave.shtml

At first it was only Patrick doing this, but it’s like
it is spreading all over the place, symbols of chaos
and purple, so what I am really wondering is what does
all of it mean? What are you doing exactly, when I
look up the symbol of chaos it has so many different
answers too, the closest thing the writing agrees on
is that its a combination of white and black magic and
a non religion, non belief system, individual
spirituality, which makes as much sense as Mindvox
does. Which makes no sense. The rest of the writing
agrees on nearly nothing, it can’t even agree on where
the symbol came from or what it means at all!

What I’m very respectfully asking is, what does it all
mean to all of you? Patrick? You are very smart, very
funny, but don’t ever answer anything. Dave Hunter
wrote a answer once to the list when he started
painting the ‘Purple Shit’ about god through
photoshop.

The last thing I read was Trajectories which I love
and always blows me away because it’s such a huge
combination of everything that says everything at once
while saying nothing, I read it and feel like I just
took acid and I don’t mean to kiss your ass Patrick,
youre a really brilliant writer but is this how your
brain is working now, most of the time, all the time?
Its like you are connecting everything to everything
all at once.

What does all of it mean? I’m right back to what
Howard wrote about this being a Temple and it feels
that way which is a great feeling but I’ve been here 3
years at least now and I still don’t get it and feel
like I spend a lot of my time inside this mystery

I’d still like to know what is the deal with the

The MindVox servers are located 100 feet underground
in New Mexico, Utah, and Pig’s Knuckle, OH. They are
fully distributed, entirely redundant, and completely
recombinant. Vox is INVINCIBLE, Invisible and
psychotic — it enters the mind through the eye and
spreads throughout the organism.

MindVox operates on a principle similar to RADAR, but
is highly unstable and FLYING out of everything. It
has an array of OC3’s with direct interfaces to the
ley-lines circling the earth. Its NOC’s are located at
Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, and a
distributed-system of Lost Temples hidden at the
earth’s core. The earth is hollow, conclusive and
fully documented proof is available in the works of
Nazi Scientist Genius: Hans Horbiger (who should not,
and MUST not, be confused with the Scientist in Outer
Space), who EXPOSED the whole entire truth (in its
complete totality). THOSE PEOPLE, sadly, just didn’t
understand.

Customer Support for MindVox is located in a little
white house with a big UPS in the West Indies, a
small, nondescript dwelling 10km. west of Lop Buri,
Thailand, and a SERIES of completely trashed
apartments on the upper east side in NYC.

MindVox has been used for centuries in smaller doses
to combat fatigue and boredom, and higher ranges, as
part of spiritual initiation rituals in the Voxer
Religion. MindVox HCl was first made available in 1991
and will finally be released as an unbound freebase in
2001. In the very near future we hope to have Vox
available in an exciting variety of flavored
suppositories, in an assortment of sizes, so that you
can stick it up your ass.

MindVox UNDERSTANDS that Aleister Crowley was just
misunderstood. The Book of Coming Forth by Night and
Doing a Lot of Coke wasn’t his fault. That was his
DISEASE, plus, also, Aiwiss made him do BAD THINGS.
Although, to be honest, Vox loves receiving Hate Mail
and Death Threats from Satanic Masters of the Dark
Arts who threaten to Smite it Down if it Doesn’t STOP
mocking (who’s mocking?) the Great Beast (what did we
ever say about Marilyn Manson? He’s an EXCELLENT
musician). Deep down inside, MindVox KNOWS that these
letters ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and WITHOUT A DOUBT do
NOT come from welfare-collecting, computer-twerps who
sit on the Internet 24hrs. a day. It Fully Realizes
its Whole Entire Future is in Grave Peril and vibrates
inside with Tremendous Glee…

MindVox was INSIDE the Bayer corporation when they
invented the cure for coughs. It hovered briefly in
the general vicinity of Freud when he UNVEILED the
Whole Entire panacea for depression, but then left,
because he made its head hurt, lots and lots. Vox
loves, believes in, and STANDS BEHIND all B-D
products, which make hypodermic syringes that should
ONLY be used for IM’ing insulin — never, ever,
anything else . . . at all. It chooses to disbelieve
in the Secret, Hidden Network of Iranian Gas-Station
Owners who are nearly always out of gas, change, or
any food product that did not expire 3 years ago. They
do, however, have a near-endless supply of baking soda
and brillo, plus, also, not to be forgotten, Many
Thousands of Mysterious Glass Tubes — which the
super-friendly worker will hand you through the
bulletproof glass if he KNOWS you — which could serve
almost ANY purpose imaginable, but are definitely,
without a doubt, and absolutely, NOT crackpipes.
MindVox understands this is just another conspiracy by
the Illuminati, CIA and Black Panthers.

MindVox SEES the REAL you. Yes YOU, it KNOWS that
you’re so special, you’re all aglow with specialness.
It finds you interesting, different, and totally
unique — it loves you, lots and lots, and wants to
eXchange bodily fluids. Vox is sensitive — whole
Legions of Mental Health Experts, have PROVEN and
EXPLAINED this — and lies awake at night crying,
feeling the pain of the Horrible Atrocities being
COMMITED at the former fully robotic NeXT factory,
where BAD PEOPLE are making the Automation do
TERRIBLE, Unspeakable, THINGS . . .

The Truth is OUT There … and if it’s not; just go
ahead and make things up. Because, really, in The End
(Apocalypse Now Remix), everything is always all-good.
You only need to open your ears to see the truth, and
understand that Saint Cobain died for our sins, Tupac
was killed because he cared TOO MUCH, and Jesus so
loved LSD that he gave the world bisexual women in
thigh-high leather boots.

Complete Documented Proof is available from
the Scientist in Outer Space, upon request.

Preston is right, Burroughs came out with the book Junky a long time
ago and it was already
in use back then. I don’t know the whole progression of the slang but
junkie, hype, all those
terms show up in books starting in the 50’s, by the 60’s heroin was not
in anyone’s
imagination ‘a not addictive drug’ it was schedule 1 since before Howard
was born (sorry if
I’m making you younger Howard 🙂

Don’t see the problem with junkie from NY, that would be patrick, preston
and more people
who don’t have those 7 letter long first names starting with ‘p’ 🙂

I know that term is hard to accept for some and makes us all get angry,
the first time i read
patrick’s war on drugs ‘I belong to the last tribe of niggers on the
planet’ rant it struck some
nerves because it was so angry and offensive, but honest. We are still
thought of as human
garbage, nothing changes.

Peace out, from some junkie in San Francisco

Hi Shelley.  I really empathize with your question as it’s very similar to mine.  Man, I feel like I’ve tried EVERYTHING to stay clean too, but I can’t ever seem to make it stick for more than a few years at a time.  I really envy and admire anyone who does.  I’ve taken ibo three times and I totally relate to what you talk about with the closeness of the “other world” and how beautiful everything and everyone looks.  When I’m in that space drugs have NO appeal whatsoever.  Coffee even looked icky and quitting cigarettes was the easiest part for me…
I love what ibogaine has to give but it still seems like every other approach to addiction – for some folks it sticks and others it doesn’t.  I’m just one of the others.  I hate to write here sometimes in fear of dashing hopes by admitting that I’m not clean, but everyone has to roll the dice for themselves.  No doubt ibo does something different that nothing else does (in my opinion,) but it still ain’t a hundred percent…
I feel sort of frustrated myself ’cause I feel like I did everything right too.  I’ve done YEARS of therapy – am very active physically, volunteer a lot, eat very well, keep my responsibilities clean, spent three years in 12 step stuff and did EVERYTHING I was supposed to there too – and yada yada.  I sometimes think that the folks who’ve lost more due to their addiction maybe can hang on to sobriety better because it took them down so low.  Maybe that’s a generalization and I apologize to anyone if that sounds like a dis – I don’t mean it to be.  It’s just that I never lost a job, never had a brush really with the law, no one even knows when I’m high, and this last relapse I’ve kept the dose so low that even I am amazed.  Doesn’t mean things won’t get out of hand eventually, but I credit ibo with at least allowing me “harm reduction” with my own habit.
Some folks here talk about how opiates relieve depression and I know some folks find that just doing methadone the rest of their life still allows their life to be much better than when “runnin’ and gunnin’.  I don’t care for the attitude that folks still using have nothing to offer – I think that idea might likely bite you in the ass eventually, but I empathize with it all.  What humans understand about addiction I think amounts to what the cave folks understood about electricity.  I don’t think we really have a clue yet what it really stems from or why ibogaine seems to hit the reset button for some but not all.  Some folks walk into 12 step meetings and get that too right off, but what is the difference between the one who get’s it and the one who doesn’t?  I have an idea in my head alot that I may be “paying back” for judging “weak” people too harshly in the past, – like having to be fat for being a creep to fat people at one time.  That’s the only answer I have for myself right now.
Shelley, I hope you find a way to hang on.  I do believe that if you keep trying you finally get it. I used to play a sport professionally and the people who kept getting up over and over no matter how many times they got beat on – their games improved constantly and consistently.  I just give up for periods of time, and then seem to energize to fight again.  I do believe one thing – growth is most often slow and arduous – but most of us would love to grow a lot faster (I would anyway.)
BEst to all…  Sandy

It means artists don’t explain their work 😉
That’s the job of the person experiencing it
isn’t it? What does Dali’s work mean? It also
means Patrick should hurry up and finish his
book because I want to read it bro. It also
means the only problem he’s going to have
left to worry about is how to spend his money
because every time I read this I feel like I
dropped acid too. You’re mad talented bro.

The only question I’d have is what does the
symbol of chaos mean to all of you who have
started putting it up all over the place?
I’m starting to like it, maybe I need to have
one made for my door.

It also means you should stop clicking the
tag lines on Mindvox, I’ve done that too,
they don’t end.

Peace out and chaos

Howard

What Howard wrote made me think about something that
I’ve wondered about before but never wrote to the
list. I’ve spent probably 3 hours looking through
Mindvox which I’ve done before so many times and
always get the same feeling from it which is that
there are so many pieces in it that go into all these
directions and some of it is really funny and some of
it is beautiful, some of it is ugly and obnoxious but
it’s like this strange temple and every time I look
there is some piece somewhere that’s changed, so some
of you are obviously doing something with it.

This one tag line at the top caught my attention and
made me keep thinking and reading through links
tonight.

Psychedelic Temple of The Apocalypse

Then someone whos name I’ve forgot and I’m sorry 🙁
wrote that everything Patrick is doing is shamanism,
then there have been so many messages to the list
before about this but the one I remember when someone
asked what Mindvox is a long time ago, the answer was
‘Patrick’s brain blown through a cuisanart’ and that
made me laugh but I’m not laughing anymore, I keep
thinking about it and don’t understand because to use
even another quote and I’m sorry I’ll stop with
quotes, is ‘Mindvox is a video game for
schizophrenics’

What I mean is even something as small as those tag
lines. I can sit there and click them for hours which
I have done when I’m stoned and they keep coming with
new ones. Are there hundreds of them, thousands? The
whole site is huge, it looks like something that took
a lot of effort and time to make and what is the
purpose for it exactly? I mean the main Mindvox site
itself not Mindvox Ibogaine and the list, which are
beautiful but have a definite reason for being here.

Then I keep reading a clicking and keep getting more
questions. The main Mindvox logo is a really beautiful
psychedelic symbol of chaos. Then I click open
ibogaine.mindvox.com and Dave Hunter is painting
purple symbols of chaos, then that religion in
slovenia I’m sorry I don’t know the official name or
is it Sacrament of transition? Has another symbol of
chaos.

The ‘Purple Shit’ Patrick talks about, now it’s
appearing in Dave Hunter’s art, it shows up on Erowid
dedicated to Patrick and Howard:

http://www.erowid.org/culture/art/artists_h/art_hunter_dave.shtml

At first it was only Patrick doing this, but it’s like
it is spreading all over the place, symbols of chaos
and purple, so what I am really wondering is what does
all of it mean? What are you doing exactly, when I
look up the symbol of chaos it has so many different
answers too, the closest thing the writing agrees on
is that its a combination of white and black magic and
a non religion, non belief system, individual
spirituality, which makes as much sense as Mindvox
does. Which makes no sense. The rest of the writing
agrees on nearly nothing, it can’t even agree on where
the symbol came from or what it means at all!

What I’m very respectfully asking is, what does it all
mean to all of you? Patrick? You are very smart, very
funny, but don’t ever answer anything. Dave Hunter
wrote a answer once to the list when he started
painting the ‘Purple Shit’ about god through
photoshop.

The last thing I read was Trajectories which I love
and always blows me away because it’s such a huge
combination of everything that says everything at once
while saying nothing, I read it and feel like I just
took acid and I don’t mean to kiss your ass Patrick,

thinking that all of it will make sense someday but
none of it ever does, it only gets weirder and keeps
spreading!

I’d still like to know what is the deal with the
symbol of chaos? What does it mean? Since nowhere I go
online where I look it up agrees with any other
definition of it, what does it mean to you Patrick?
You started up with it and now it’s all over the place
so obviously it must mean something to your friends
who are painting it and putting it everywhere,
what?????

I think what I’m saying is thanks to all of you and
love to everyone on the list 🙂 🙂 And a lot of love
to Preston!!!!! 🙂

REINTEGRATION

It was a bright day in the middle of the night, and I
was walking down this road which was like an
escalator. Then I saw these people, and kept trying to
talk to them, but already it was too late, and my
watch was running backwards. And these midgets in
latex tutu’s starting scampering across the ceiling
which dissolved into an ocean, and I was drowning . .
. but then at the bottom of the ocean I walked across
the floor and opened this oyster which had a pearl in
it; and I felt all warm and fuzzy, and then a meadow
appeared . . .

. . . and I understood, and wow, this is so cool, it’s
just like love and sunshine, and puppies, and
ice-cream, and sex, except kinda like all at once… I
never knew I loved having sex with puppies while
eating ice-cream in the sunshine– err, back that up a
sentence or two, that’s not exactly what I meant. And
as I thought that, I realized that maybe my thinking,
was all thunk out, so this chasm blows open and I was
in a graveyard . . . after I got done clubbing the
baby-seals, it seemed that it was beyond too late —
even though time had stopped running backwards, and
started moving sideways in spirals — I have an
appointment to give blood, seems I hafta go face-first
through this lawnmower, and then I’m scheduled to tour
at least 3 layers of hell before lunch, and–

. . . and my spirit guide held my hand, and we walked
on the water, over to where all my dead relatives were
lined-up; they delivered a stern anti-drug lecture,
while showing me ScArY MoViES of what my life would be
like if I didn’t stop doing drugs. But then God came
down from heaven, gave me a big kiss, and dissolved
into this shower of golden-light, and I knew that all
the answers I was seeking through drugs were always
inside of me, and I was healed.

Furthermore, to Clarify:

Now obviously, this explains why Gestalt is mostly
correct, EMDR works some of the time, and Primal
Therapy has the right idea. Schroedinger saw some
light in the darkness, Neitzsche saw darkness in the
light, and Hitler, Jesus, and Max Planck discussed it
over tea one day, with the Mad Hatter acting as an
independent peer-review committee, and Dostoyevsky
taking down the minutes — but he wasn’t paying
attention a lotta the time; this is okay ‘cuz Godel
had a parabolic mic aimed at the whole-entire
scenario. Also, furthermore, this is only accurate on
every other Tuesday, of leap-years, unless Peter
Melchior manages to reintegrate John Lilly, and
Timothy Leary gives him some therapy.

Because sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, unless
Freud didn’t say that, uhm, what did he say again, oh
yeah, “you people are all basically just totally
fucked up. Now, who took my cocaine, and where the
hell did my niece go… I’d call Sherlock Holmes to
figure this out, but he’s off somewhere banging-up
speedballs. He’s repressed anyway, and really needs to
get laid.” Of course, this is only metaphorically a
parable, because Sherlock Holmes was a real person,
whereas Freud was a strung-out champion of law and
order, only in books, and on the astral planes.

But anyway, as anyone can see this only works on the
primary and secondary levels of quaternary dualism,
unless it doesn’t. Christian Science, the Koran,
Buddhism, Shivaism, Scientology, and the Muslims, are
seeing at least part of the spectrum of possibility,
except when they’re not. But it really doesn’t matter
because Socrates knew it — tho’ he didn’t write it
down — Plato (who was a whiny little fuckhead)
plagiarized it, and Aristotle retrieved and refined
it.

Strings are a good theory, but sometimes Viagra works
better, because as Heisenberg explained, the
Uncertainty Principle doesn’t really start to throb
unless the strange attractor is wearing a mini and
heels, in which case non-linear dynamics will cause
the butterfly with broken wings to nose-dive, this
will make Voltaire depressed a lot of the time; but
ultimately it’s all-good because when Freud dropped
the cigar, Fromm picked it up and re-lit it, Sartre
stuck it in his mouth but never inhaled, and Jung
understood all of it, in its entire totality, some of
the time — even though he didn’t smoke cigars.

Baudelaire and Rimbaud lived it, Shelley kinda flopped
around a lot and drowned, but his wife nailed it;
Byron also nailed a lot of things — lacking a
camcorder and a web site, on occasion he even wrote
some of them down. Tesla and Willhelm Reich had it all
written out in invisible ink on SekRet DocumenTz,
hidden under an orgone accumulator, until THEY, THEM,
and THOSE PEOPLE, ruined everything. Escher took the
remnants and made a moebious-strip out of them. Once
the colors got all smeared, C.S. Lewis and Dr. Seuss
summed it all up in one cohesive whole, understandable
by any child; however, when most adults try to
cross-connect the spirals of rainbows, they just end
up with mud.

Lately though, I’m starting to have a lot of dreams
about sex. This means its time to take a really long
plane-ride. In conclusion, black-lights are pretty
groovy, but somehow — for me anyway — lava-lamps,
just get real old, real fast. The ‘Dead mahn —
Yahhhhhhhh — Uhm, I don’t like the dead; it’s not an
option dude, they’re the Dead Mahn, yahhhhh! — Uhm,
okay, I guess, do you have any Nine Inch Nails?

Obviously,

has an array of OC3’s with direct interfaces to the
ley-lines circling the earth. Its NOC’s are located at
Stonehenge, the Bermuda Triangle, and a
distributed-system of Lost Temples hidden at the
earth’s core. The earth is hollow, conclusive and
fully documented proof is available in the works of
Nazi Scientist Genius: Hans Horbiger (who should not,
and MUST not, be confused with the Scientist in Outer
Space), who EXPOSED the whole entire truth (in its
complete totality). THOSE PEOPLE, sadly, just didn’t
understand.

Customer Support for MindVox is located in a little
white house with a big UPS in the West Indies, a
small, nondescript dwelling 10km. west of Lop Buri,
Thailand, and a SERIES of completely trashed
apartments on the upper east side in NYC.

MindVox has been used for centuries in smaller doses
to combat fatigue and boredom, and higher ranges, as
part of spiritual initiation rituals in the Voxer
Religion. MindVox HCl was first made available in 1991
and will finally be released as an unbound freebase in
2001. In the very near future we hope to have Vox
available in an exciting variety of flavored
suppositories, in an assortment of sizes, so that you
can stick it up your ass.

MindVox UNDERSTANDS that Aleister Crowley was just
misunderstood. The Book of Coming Forth by Night and
Doing a Lot of Coke wasn’t his fault. That was his
DISEASE, plus, also, Aiwiss made him do BAD THINGS.
Although, to be honest, Vox loves receiving Hate Mail
and Death Threats from Satanic Masters of the Dark
Arts who threaten to Smite it Down if it Doesn’t STOP
mocking (who’s mocking?) the Great Beast (what did we
ever say about Marilyn Manson? He’s an EXCELLENT
musician). Deep down inside, MindVox KNOWS that these
letters ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and WITHOUT A DOUBT do
NOT come from welfare-collecting, computer-twerps who
sit on the Internet 24hrs. a day. It Fully Realizes
its Whole Entire Future is in Grave Peril and vibrates
inside with Tremendous Glee…

MindVox was INSIDE the Bayer corporation when they
invented the cure for coughs. It hovered briefly in
the general vicinity of Freud when he UNVEILED the
Whole Entire panacea for depression, but then left,
because he made its head hurt, lots and lots. Vox
loves, believes in, and STANDS BEHIND all B-D
products, which make hypodermic syringes that should
ONLY be used for IM’ing insulin — never, ever,
anything else . . . at all. It chooses to disbelieve
in the Secret, Hidden Network of Iranian Gas-Station
Owners who are nearly always out of gas, change, or
any food product that did not expire 3 years ago. They
do, however, have a near-endless supply of baking soda
and brillo, plus, also, not to be forgotten, Many
Thousands of Mysterious Glass Tubes — which the
super-friendly worker will hand you through the
bulletproof glass if he KNOWS you — which could serve
almost ANY purpose imaginable, but are definitely,
without a doubt, and absolutely, NOT crackpipes.
MindVox understands this is just another conspiracy by
the Illuminati, CIA and Black Panthers.

MindVox SEES the REAL you. Yes YOU, it KNOWS that
you’re so special, you’re all aglow with specialness.
It finds you interesting, different, and totally
unique — it loves you, lots and lots, and wants to
eXchange bodily fluids. Vox is sensitive — whole
Legions of Mental Health Experts, have PROVEN and
EXPLAINED this — and lies awake at night crying,
feeling the pain of the Horrible Atrocities being
COMMITED at the former fully robotic NeXT factory,
where BAD PEOPLE are making the Automation do
TERRIBLE, Unspeakable, THINGS . . .

The Truth is OUT There … and if it’s not; just go
ahead and make things up. Because, really, in The End
(Apocalypse Now Remix), everything is always all-good.
You only need to open your ears to see the truth, and
understand that Saint Cobain died for our sins, Tupac
was killed because he cared TOO MUCH, and Jesus so
loved LSD that he gave the world bisexual women in
thigh-high leather boots.

Complete Documented Proof is available from
the Scientist in Outer Space, upon request.

I miss the other world being as near as it was.Its not like Im ignorant that its right here for the taking,i meditate ,do yoga,intense exercise,acupuncture,etc,I just miss the freebie in freshly post trip phase,that incredible gift iboga offers.Cant very well keep doin ibogaine every time it wears off.

Hey Shelly,

I know excatly what you are talking about.

in the couple months post ibo (first time around) It was as if I was in a magic bubble. I would go on a walk and look up at the clouds and I felt as tho I could just reach up and climb aboard them. My perception of my actions and their effect on the environment around me was magnified a hundred times. I was super aware, everything was glowing, I almost felt immortal or something like that. A completely clean slate like I had just reincarnated in the same life and managed to hold on to the wisdom the iboga re-taught me.

Then it started to fade, the old patterns returned slowly but surely and i got pretty depressed. ***What I forgot*** was to continue to do the work, my aftercare plans fell to the side and I, too went on 2 mini runs. But as soon as I pulled myself out of the muck and started working on myself, some of the ibo insights started to resurface, or unexplainable visions that ibo showed me began to make sense. Exercise was vital to this process as well. And I still continue to have iboga moments, 6 years and one small booster dose later.

the path gets narrow, and the issues finer and deeper and oh so fucking nice to let go of. Its the letting go that is the the hard work. for me anyhow. Iboga is just the begining, and a damn good refresher if needed.

I’d say keep doing what you are doing. and stay conscious with your intentions. My experienece is that it does, eventually smooth out. There will be dips and curves in the road but there are also beautiful vistas to take in.

I loved reading what you posted to Howard about your experiences, I too had the ancestral lineage revealed to me back to the first human, and I also had the Bwiti Elders looking over me, as If I were laid out on some sort of altar or table… the compassion, wisdom and timelessness in their eyes was magnificent, set in beautiful contrast to their age weathered faces. They were all holding sparklers and twirling them in small circles, as if to urge me onward, over the threshold.

anyhow, you’ve reminded me of some cool stuff. Thanks.

-Dave

Hey all,I want to put something out there–I talk in a few forums about how awesome ibogaine is,and I get feedback like,well the jurys still out whether youll stay sober,wait till the cravings come back(!)I have relapsed twice after my first iboga experience.I really dont think it was cravings coming back,more like my issues with boredom,lonliness, ,lack of direction & getting sucked back into old patterns from lack of consistant action in new directions.I love reading about accounts of people doing ibogaine & NEVER going back to that lifestyle & suffering.However that hasnt been the case for me.however,my relapses have been very brief,my habit less than before & I never give up,I want to stay clean so much.Im at the point now when the ibogaine ,well the noribogaine is wearing off,the antidepressant effects are dwindling,a more challenging time for me.I have no cravings ,but have more mood stuff.I miss the other world being as near as it was.Its not like Im ignorant that its right here for the taking,i meditate ,do yoga,intense exercise,acupuncture,etc,I just miss the freebie in freshly post trip phase,that incredible gift iboga offers.Cant very well keep doin ibogaine every time it wears off.Im wondering if any one else can relate to what Im saying.Sure theres 12 step,smart ,different paths of healing to follow(done psychotherapy for years too,lived in ashram,had guru,et all)Any feedback?-shell

Hi Shelley,

I also experienced the going through time immemorial to the first humans and
into the future as far as I could determine the human time line to continue.
It appears to be a not uncommon experience for those who take ibogaine.  Not
universal but, not uncommon.

Further, that the basis of humanity is sexuality.  And  the timelessness of
who we are.  One time I was walking the streets about five or six hours after
taking ibogaine and I noticed a cop and his partner and realized that was Mrs.
Smith’s little boy.  Perceived him without the affect of his uniform or formal
stature.  Ibogaine unites humanity as iboga united the Gabonese independence
movement.

And when, as iboga promotes, you are so open and don’t exude the fear we are
all so used to, those you come into contact with recognize that and are not
fearful of you and that opens door of awareness and respect and acceptance.  All
dressed in dancing magnesium flame filling the sky.

With warmest regards,

Howard

know that if I hadnt done it the three times I wouldnt have learned all
I did.It was like the stuff iboga revealed the first two times came together
the third.The first time was so incredible,lots of tailor made visuals
to pull me in ,then I saw african elders whispering about me,murmering
about my condition,figuring me out.I did have a long phase where everything
was horridly distorted,couldnt figure out why,did alot of blinking!finally
,it came to a crescendo & I felt this awesome awareness that i was not
alone here.The second time was much milder,however I has been wearing a
fentanyl patch & did not take it off soon enough & I think it interferred
with the efficacy of the ibogaine,also there was a saw going off ,kept
me from going in deep,lots of bizarre visuals that did not make sense,like
choochoo trains???However,I learned alot about Smart recovery there ,so
it made up for the circus trip.The
third time I did it at a loved friends home instead of a clinic setting,went
2 days opiate free,my intention was clear,& I has a WAY awesome
experience!!!I
got to see my geneology from time immemorial back to the origonal man,saw
how parts of my dna were malformed by my ancestors programming,saw with
total compassion why things were distorted in my last trip & my life.I
also got some life purpose clarification statements,its like any question
I had was finally answered,you know during the second & third phase.I didnt
have to do all the benzos I had previously because I went longer without
opiates prior to the iboga,so I got alot more in the process.
The thing I love about ibogaine is the no craving part for several months
,Im at 9 weeks now,I could go on & on.Dont get me wrong Im not advocating
doing ibogaine outside a clinic setting,I think places like ibogaine assoc
are great!They ,in particular are so gentle & compassionate,I recommend
them highly!Hope  Ive communicated effectively ,hard to put it in words,but
you probably know that! Yeah Im a Krupa not a kroupa,just another junkie
trying my best to live the good life fully conscious-shell

Hi Shelley,

When you name first popped up I thought you were related to patrick but, then
noticed the difference in the spelling of your names, shelley and patrick,
nah…just teasing.

Considering you’ve done ibo three times I guess you would vote in favor of
the drug. Any particular perceptions you would care to share?

Thank you Sara.
I’ve heard now from a number of people, people who usually in many other
ways see things in similar light to my own way of seeing things, that have
reaffirmed my own suspicions that pot will be a beneficial ally to have
along for the ibogaine journey- when I finally do take that journey. Which I
suspect will be quite soonly. As noted, I promise to report on it when it
finally does happen, as soon as I feel able to.
A technicality: Is HCL, Indra and all the other variations literally
ibogaine? Or is only the actual root considered ibogaine?
Thanks. It’s not really important right at this point, but I’m curious and
haven’t done the research to remind myself of the answer, if I do already
know it, which I think I might.

Peace and love,
Preston

Hi Preston,

People who already use pot find a relief in using it before treatment as
tea
or in a bong, it is safe and seems to make the ibo.feel stronger, but
relaxed.

Everyone is diferent, but most of the people who come here like the
medicinal use
Of pot, it’s preventive for seizures. Make  2-3 grams pot,ginger&Anise tea
all together
With honey and one spoon olive oil cook until almost boiling,  taking the
Ibogaine with this tea I
Didn’t find any problems.

Have a good Ibo. Journey!

Randy,  If I it may help, I have been keeping up daily with the goings on here and I recall seeing your name come up in reverence to an after Ibo thing that Steve was talking about. I believe he is away right now but maybe someone else with a better memory than I have can be more specific. I’ll try to reference the note on my old mail thing from AOL, but I aint no good at theses new fanggled thingamabobs being a red neck junkie type from KY.  Hell I can’t even set the tab to start a new paragraph but I keep truckin’ right on. On another note. Watching the interactions on the list and in my own self searching I keep seeing the word EGO flashing in my brain. I don’t want to get Freudian or anything but I have come to realize that my ego drives me to do a lot of things without thinking. I always heard in AA how ego makes us fuck up and gets us in trouble, but I think that our ego makes us who we are we just have to be aware of it. This doesn’t have that much to do with Ibogaine but it helps me keep things in perspective as I count the days until my treatment. Thank God and pass the Ibogaine.    Randy

Hi Sean,

So your a atheistqueerjunkiefaggotnigga. Ok, I have no problem with that.  Chances are we could share a joint and have a nice conversation.  While we do not see eye to eye on some things there was still that mutual respect I mentioned, no name calling or sarcasm. While not agreeing I saw your point of view and I believe you understood where I was coming from.  I believe it is called LIVE AND LET LIVE.

Thank you, you made me feel a little better.

Best to ya,

JIM! Your use of the word ‘junkie’ cause no controversy man. I find no problem with the word because you know that’s what I am and I’d venture to say it’s what most of us are. Of course that does depend on how you want to define and perceive (judge) the term. Hey, maybe this is why I’m fucked up, but my problem has never been with being a junkie but rather how this society treats people who like getting high. If you want to assign all kinds of meanings with the term like using junk, stealing, lying, cheating etc., etc., then maybe you have a problem with it. ME? I see the term meaning one thing only-I LOVE TO GET STONED! plain and simple JIM. Really Jim, you’re cool and fuck ’em if they can’t take a joke!

Hello Leslie. I don’t know if you remember my message to you but the reason people are upset is the dogmatic attitude you wrote your letter from. As I remind you, this forum has the word Ibogaine in it’s title and yes, this is what brings people together to this forum but Ibogaine is also a symbol for most of us. It represents what alot of us want to do with our lives, gathering insight into our selves and getting our shit together! I told you if you have a specific question that you need an answer to, don’t wait for that 1 in 10 statement, ask the damn question you have and you will get the answer right away. Allow me to tell you one other thing, I’ve been on other sites or forums where people talk about drugs and to me they all fell short. Everyone of them has people making dogmatic statements about life, drugs etal and were extremely judgemental. There are quite a few people on this forum that really do know what they are talking about which is also unique. One last comment: you said the people who agree with your attitude and the things you say are not on this forum, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON?! Doesn’t that tell you something??!!

Julian

Important to note that bupe per se is NOT available. The “ox” in suboxone is the tip-off that the stuff is formulated with natrexan, so that it can’t be injected without triggering a complete blockade of the receptors and inducing rapid detox and excruiating withdrawals. Yr not supposed to feel it (1/200th of a dose) if you do it sublingually, but people do if they’re more sensitive, and that’s the reason some people don’t tolerate it well. That may also partly account for the 3 day blockade effect cited in the article.

I have a call into the writer.

Hello,
Been away from my computer for weeks but wanted to respond to this post on the beneficial effects of nicotine.  Of course the harmful effect of ingesting nicotine by cigarette smoking is well known but I had read accounts of people soaking mapacho (the tobacco native to South America and used by many indigenous folk practising the various plant spirit medicines) and ingesting the resulting solution.  Always thought that could be a way for people to avoid the hazards of smoking but I have not pursued this idea as yet.  Wanted to throw it out there for ya’ll.

Good Morning Leslie. I understand your comments re: what you would like to hear about from people but I’d like to say a couple of things. Though the forum has ibogaine in the title, that’s not what the forum is solely about. It is only the concepthat allows as many people as possible to get together and talk re: drugs, politics, morals, religion and a host of other subjects that people who have one thing in common-drugs and the desire to get their shit on track. Ibogaine is more than just a substance to take. It represents one’s desire and/or need to change their life in some more constructive manner. 

            The second thing is I never understood what the problem is with someone offering advise to another person seeking said advise and the person offering it may not be following that advise at that time. Because I am depressed, I can’t offer sound advise to someone who also is depressed? I guess you’d call that hypocricy but so what?! I may not be doing it myself, but I certainly know what a person needs to do in order to feel content if not happy. I have my own reasons for not following this advise but it doesn’t take away from my awareness of it. 

            The last thing I’d like to say is if you are seeking specific information about something, don’t wait for someone to bring it up! Ask your question or state your request on the forum and someone will answer you!! 

                                                      Thank You,

either and the others who were much shorter and also
nice but if I want to be a bitch I could post the

main reasons I don’t like the 12 step meetings, I
don’t want to hear junkie war stories every day in my

All I did was remind Patrick of what he said was
happening anyway, that’s it! Nobody ever jumps down
his throat, no sorry you all do about who’s fucking
who because that’s the most important thing , but he
can say anything he wants and get away with it, what

Sara,
I know I’ve heard you use pot in your treatments.
Do you let people smoke before a session? Is that helpful in calming
someone before the begining of whatever happens when the ibogaine hits? Will
it help keep the nausea I’ve been hearing about somewhat at bay? Is it safe
to smoke before hand?
How about during and afterwards? I mean, I’ve heard many didn’t have any
desire to do so, but I like using pot for all kinds of reasons spiritual and
physical, and want to know how it reacts in your from what I understand
quite knowlegable experience in this area.
Pease respond soon.
Thanks.
Peace,
Preston (and Marc, I called but you mailbox is full. Guess everyone is
trying to call you. Give me a call as well if you’d like. Or, I’ll see you
at noon tomorrow.)

Hello all and thanks for all of your warm thoughts. The experience was life
changing to say the least and I now have a sense of peace I never even
believed possible. Forgiven, and not in the sense I thought I needed to be,
but more an understanding, a clarity, a new beginning, a totally fresh start
with not only the obsession to use removed but OBSESSION in general removed.
My mom saw me last night for the first time in weeks and cried as soon as
she opened the door so that must say something. I think she said something
like your eyes look like they did when you were a little boy. And the funny
thing is I feel like I’m now seeing through those eyes she talked about. Oh
I’m just still so blown away.  Unfortunately I caught a bug from the water
or ice in Mexico and I’m now on cypro but I’m so fuckin grateful it can’t
get me down.
I wrote a whole big thing on the experience itself but I’ll have to wait to
charge my laptop in order to get that out to all of you. But Miraculous is
just about the best word I can come up with this early in the morning. I
will go into detail later but I wanted to let all of you know that it was
more successful than I ever dreamed it would be. I’ve been traveling for the
past 5 days and just didn’t feel like doing much of anything but being with
myself so my bad if anyone was wondering how things worked out. 10 days no
methadone and I feel and look better than I have in years and years.
Preston, call me. 917-405-3768.
As soon as I get this stupid laptop charged I will forward my journal.
Thanks Howard. In my humble opinion, anyone who has been fortunate enough to
have this life changing experience has to give back or at least pass the
word. This is to important to be minimized. Love to all and I’ll be in touch
soon. -Mark

because people on! this forum that have shared their experience insisted how
the whole ‘trip’ regardless of their pleasant or unpleasant visuals and

Humble apologies to you Leslie. I know better than to react immediately and spout off at the mouth but somehow knowing better does not keep me from doing it!
You did not deserve the mean things I sarcastically directed to you.
I hope you are also feeling better this morning.
We all need to hear about your experience. Hearing from others that have done Ibogaine is what gave me hope in the first place.
I am saving for my treatment and slowly bringing my Methadone dose down but honestly it will be months before I can even begin to plan my treatment experience.
Were you not once in my spot?
I am not wealthy. I care for my significant other whose addiction left him a quadriplegic in a wheelchair with no control over his body functions.
I am not asking for sympathy only for some understanding.
My will would be to jet off to Mexico today and do Ibogaine tomorrow but my will is not possible. My treatment will come in time.
Please share with me. I will listen and respond if you will do the same.

Isn’t Patrick on a vacation for a while? Seems I remember him saying he would be off list for a while. He passed the baton to someone I just don’t remember who.

Hopefully you will accept my apology,

Hi everybody,

Perhaps I should of used the word addict or user rather than junkie.  The story about Ibogaine that I read said that a user of narcotic drugs noticed that he did not need to do his ‘fix’ or medicine or narcotics after using Ibogaine.

When you read the second or third paragraph I say in part  –

… rather than say well I am off  the hard stuff let the others take care of their own problems he tried to help.  I said that he gave of his time, help and energy to help others. I said that he fought to make Ibogaine available to users who are hooked and see no way out other than the PAIN of withdrawal which seldom works because the cravings are still there.  I called it another tool to help the addicted, which in my humble opinion is way better than anything I have seen so far.  There are really only three or four durgs legally available to help fight addiction – Methadone – LLam and Bupe (two or more kinds, subutex and subonone and maybe another).

It was my intention to praise Howard and thank him.  All of us have problems, all of us.  I am sure Howard has problems, but he tries to help others, he tries to make the world a better place, he tries to help the suffering addict.  As most of us know suffering addicts are not a priority on the war on drugs.  Addicts are not well liked by hospitals and doctors.  Howard used hard drugs, did Ibogaine and found that he no longer NEEDED to do hard drugs.  Of those on this list, if you could make one wish would it be get me off these addicting drugs that have or soon will ruin my life?  There was one person who said something to the order that – I was going down fast,  I was headed for jail, methadone saved me, if it were not for methadone I might be there now.  That could fit a lot of us.

As I said in my apology to Howard, I am a Detroit junkie ( or addict or user ) and do not cast stones.  In Detroit junkie and addict are the same and junkie is not like the “N” word.  Being politically correct has never been one of my top priorities, h;owever, I never ment to disrespect Howard as I said before; I ment to praise him.

I once referred to addiction as a disease and it seemed to cause a lot of controversy with prople writing in and even getting the AMA and APA definition of disease.  I hope that is not necessary for it waste everyones time and energy.  I hope this sets the record straight as for my intentions.  I have a feeling that I cleared things up a bit and Howard can find room in his heart to forgive me for using the wrong word or phrase.  For you who have read my posts, not once did I call someone a name or argue or show disrespect.  Once or twice I may of had a difference of opinion with another person but we talked it over in an intelligent manner and respect was shown on both sides.  I feel that if I can not respond positively I will not respond at all.

Do you know the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic – drunks don’t have to go to meetings.  I know, old joke, but the funny part is an alcoholic told it to me in detox.  I laughed, and God knows I needed a good laugh, oh did I ever.

It has been my pleasure to know all you guys (and girls),

– JIM

Hello all and thanks for all of your warm thoughts. The experience was life changing to say the least and I now have a sense of peace I never even believed possible. Forgiven, and not in the sense I thought I needed to be, but more an understanding, a clarity, a new beginning, a totally fresh start with not only the obsession to use removed but OBSESSION in general removed. My mom saw me last night for the first time in weeks and cried as soon as she opened the door so that must say something. I think she said something like your eyes look like they did when you were a little boy. And the funny thing is I feel like I’m now seeing through those eyes she talked about. Oh I’m just still so blown away.  Unfortunately I caught a bug from the water or ice in Mexico and I’m now on cypro but I’m so fuckin grateful it can’t get me down.
I wrote a whole big thing on the experience itself but I’ll have to wait to charge my laptop in order to get that out to all of you. But Miraculous is just about the best word I can come up with this early in the morning. I will go into detail later but I wanted to let all of you know that it was more successful than I ever dreamed it would be. I’ve been traveling for the past 5 days and just didn’t feel like doing much of anything but being with myself so my bad if anyone was wondering how things worked out. 10 days no methadone and I feel and look better than I have in years and years.
Preston, call me. 917-405-3768.
As soon as I get this stupid laptop charged I will forward my journal.
Thanks Howard. In my humble opinion, anyone who has been fortunate enough to have this life changing experience has to give back or at least pass the word. This is to important to be minimized. Love to all and I’ll be in touch soon. -Mark

Mindvoxians, We is an eclectic crew aint we? I’ve been reading the list this morning and I feel I have to say something. I get up early and usually don’t get to interact much with people on the list. That made me think that what went on last night on the list was a knee jerk reaction from what someone says at the moment. Given time to think maybe some of the ill will shown last night wouldn’t even have occurred. I agree with a lot of what Julian just said in his last post. He probably would agree that one bad day on the list don’t an asshole make. By the way Julian, its good to see how things have turned around here and I enjoy reading your posts.  I don’t talk about how to reload for a 458 Winchester magnum for Cape Buffalo here, I talk about Ibogaine and my quest for it. But sometimes I digress, so what, shoot me. I would use a 40 S&W in a, O yea never mind. We are all here for Ibogaine. Before or after I don’t think it much matters. Its kind of like an AA meeting from way out in left field. Some of the stupidest fuckers in AA had some of the most profound things to say in their one moment of clarity. So I try to read them all. But I have a delete button and I use it well. I just hope that I don’t use it on the one thing said that will keep me from fucking up the serenity that I get out of livin’ these days. I hope to have a better outlook on life after Ibogaine. We’ll see when we get there. Unless Pat Trick zaps me from outer space I intend to keep reading and posting. ‘Cause I can.     Randy

Good Morning Leslie. I understand your comments re: what you would like to hear about from people but I’d like to say a couple of things. Though the forum has ibogaine in the title, that’s not what the forum is solely about. It is only the concepthat allows as many people as possible to get together and talk re: drugs, politics, morals, religion and a host of other subjects that people who have one thing in common-drugs and the desire to get their shit on track. Ibogaine is more than just a substance to take. It represents one’s desire and/or need to change their life in some more constructive manner.

The second thing is I never understood what the problem is with someone offering advise to another person seeking said advise and the person offering it may not be following that advise at that time. Because I am depressed, I can’t offer sound advise to someone who also is depressed? I guess you’d call that hypocricy but so what?! I may not be doing it myself, but I certainly know what a person needs to do in order to feel content if not happy. I have my own reasons for not following this advise but it doesn’t take away from my awareness of it.

The last thing I’d like to say is if you are seeking specific information about something, don’t wait for someone to bring it up! Ask your question or state your request on the forum and someone will answer you!!

Thank You,
Julian

What made you decide to try ibogaine?  Also, what did it teach you?  If
that is too personal I understand, although it would be nice to read about
someone elses journey.<

Leslie,
Jason put what I wanted to say much better than I.
If you’d care to share it, I’d be more than happy to read about your
choice to try the ibogaine route- how did it make you feel before, during
and after, and explain why you took it twice please.
How long between times did you wait?
What happened after the first time?
How long ago did you try it the second time, and how long have you
managed to stay clean since?
Is NA helping you feel better about things?
I apologize for putting you on the spot like I did, but I am feeling
quite sensitive as noted, and simply prefer to read slightly happier, more
positive things at the moment, rather than be reminded of how I’m simply not
quite as complete as someone else yet- or at least read something I take in
that way, which I guess is more my responsibility and not yours anyway, so
again, I apologize.
If you’d care to respond, I’d be happy to read it.
Peace,
Preston (and more positive power to those who responded to you off list, who
never post here. And thanks for the supportive posts Callie. I’ve been
thinking lately about some who’ve gone to try ibogaine and who I hope we
still hear from. I promise to share my experience when it finally does
happen-and despite all the encouraging words I too have received off-list, I
can’t help but be getting more and more nervous. LOL, shiver me timbers, but
I’ve done a lot to myself, and gone through a lot, and, well, I’m a little
nervous about dealing with it again. But then, I guess it is time. And oh, I
keep remember my arguing about this with Dana a few years ago now. Nuther
lol, a Little quieter but still heartfelt.)

short note for patrick, I know your very busy but when
you get the chance to open it could you please open up
the after ibogaine list some time in the next week or
two like you said you would.

I am not bitching about anything, love the site and
your writing is awesome and enjoy the hope that is
here. but every time I open up my mailbox I have 200
letters from this list and at least half of it is like
coffee talk for junkies or someone explaining how
important they are.

i would like to talk to people who have already done
ibogaine and are trying to stay sober which is where i
am at, I have done it twice and am still very shaky
but trying. No disrespect to anyone but I read 20 long
letters from one person who seems very smart and
knowledgeable and then a month later oh by the way,
they’ve never done ibogaine and are still using. Ok I
appreciate you being smart and may like reading what
you say but somehow I don’t have that much interest in
taking advice from someone who isn’t clean and hasn’t
done ibogaine and is handing out sobriety advice and
explaining how to get the most from their ibo
experience.

I feel like I’m going crazy a lot of the time its very
hard to maintain, I go to 12 step meetings but most of
the time I only feel worse and want to get high and
mindvox is the only site I’ve ever found which isn’t
so depressing and has a lot of hope but I don’t want
to talk to people who are still getting high.

thank you

The people with whom you are now engaged in a verbal dual and their friends

The same applies to sifting out these posts for wisdom and truth and LIGHT,

DH ,I really like what you posted!I have done inoga three times myself,currently I have 9 weeks off opiates.No cravings,thank god,do feel the old thinking patterns starting to slip in ,miss the otherwold nearness provided in early post ibogaine time.I myself got burned out in 12 step too,havent gone in a really long time,do miss the commaradarie,dont miss the “club” stuff.Id love to find a place where we can be together in peace ,i would so like to share my experiences ,sure is hard to translate into words tho.I did post my experiences in another forum,but they all bicker about whose way is better & put down ibogaine,so needless to say,I was overjoyed to find yall.Today has put me off some,als hurts my heart to see all the pain & misunderstanding.Every time I have done ibogaine I have felt this deep longing to be able to work with people helping them detox this way,in fact I almost went to work for ibogaine association ,but they freaked out about what I make as a nurse,oh well.Dont mean to go on,feel such a longing to connect with my birds of a feather-shelley

once upon a time when I was going to meetings I used to think the same
way.

(Pre Ibogaine) I would go to meetings, “faking it” -meaning I didn’t
really get the spiritual part 100%. Frustrated because NA was the only
game in town for folks like me.

I would often turn my thoughts to using, and dwell on that wavelength.
(eventually I started using again).

I also completely shut out anyone who was “still using”, I mean what
could they possibly have to offer for me?

Then I did Ibogaine, got “clean”, and my perspective changed, not
overnight, but it changed. I kept going to meetings, mainly as it was
my only source of support and understanding of what I was going thru,
putting the pieces of my broken life back together after like 20 years
of using. Most 12 steppers could not (or would not) relate to the
Ibogaine experience (understandably so).

But now I see things a little differently. Like by only communicating
with people “who are clean” (which in my book confines my communication
to a VERY small portion of the population). And my experience is that
the “people who are clean” were people I encountered at “meetings” and
I soon discovered that these people were seriously limited in what they
had to offer, mainly it was regurgitated “12 step talk” and a lot of
these people were still engaging in some seriously fucked up behavior.
I witnessed their “spiritual program” lasting only about 10 feet out
the door of the meetings. I found this seriously hypocritical,
especially given these people were handing out unsolicited “advice” to
the “newcomers” and basically running the 12 ring circus.

It was also around this time that I had to take pain medication which i
quickly learned was a taboo thing, and got no positive support from the
“12 steppers”.

I have since bailed on meetings, I found that I was at conflict with
some of the 12 step Dogma, not to mention I live in a very isolated
place and the people from “the rooms” began to shun me for taking
medicine as prescribed, and being into the ibogaine thing. But I will
say that NA did help me thru some rough times. I’m just past that scene
now.

What I hear from Leslie is that you are having a hard time, and need
more of a forum of Post-Ibogaine experienced people dealing with life
as it happens.

I can totally fucking relate.

I’m sure between now and sometime much later on Patrick will get around
to enabling such a list-serve. Maybe he’ll even grant God his
@phantom.com address.

But don’t discount the information being shared here. There are really
good, kind hearted people here sharing their experience, whatever that
may be. There are also some of us who are completely fucking insane,
and that is not entirely a bad thing.

Reading what people are going thru, wether they are “still using”, have
been clean with ibo for years or going to get treated next week,
certainly helps me.- if not other than the simple perspective of being
where they are, knowing i was once there, and having some fucking
gratitude that I’m not there again, which given my track record is
nothing short of a miracle.

My question is… Leslie what IS working for you? How have YOU managed
to stay clean?

I’ll bet if you share more where you are at you may get the feedback
you are looking for. (Or not)…

peace,
_.dh

Hi Curtis,

I’m taking another sip of coffee as this junkie nigga thinks of what to say to your great post.  This thread has actually been quite thought provoking for me, I came to this the list after I kicked last time.  Since then, unfortunately I have been chipping, as in using every two weeks or so.  No physical addiction, but I know im playing with fire.

I joined this list after reading the Iboagaine book at the War on the Junkies website.
I found the compassion shown for fellow addicts by those who had successfully kicked with ibo really touching.  The list was really kind and compassionate while I suffered though withdrawal.  It confirmed my suspicions that “ibo folk” were on the whole good, compassionate, intelligent people.  I was helped as much by still using junkies.  I got hope form others who have used ibo and never used again. While, that is not a promise of ibo, it seems to hold true enough that I was encouraged to seek treatment.

Tonight, I met with a guy who three years ago had a 10-15 bag a day dope habit, who, after one ibo treatment, never used again.  He said that after his session, all cravings were gone.  He did emphasize that he has done a lot of therapeutic work to maintain that initial relief from craving, but it all stated with ibo.  Nothing else had ever worked.

I am glad that this guy didn’t mind meeting an occasional drug user in a park to talk about Iboagaine.  His whole attitude was one of, you really have a lot to live for…so go for it..try ibogiane, and take advantage of the new start. There was no iar of superiority about him.  He just wanted to help.

Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble.  I’ll finish my coffee now and get back to the list.

Peace.
Sean

ibogaine and are trying to stay sober which is where i
am at, I have done it twice and am still very shaky
but trying.

Hi Leslie,

I hope this finds you well.  I stopped methadone a year ago with iboga.  What made you decide to try ibogaine?  Also, what did it teach you?  If that is too personal I understand, although it would be nice to read about someone elses journey.
I’m a little curious.  I think actions speak louder then words.

Be Well,
Jason

short note for patrick, I know your very busy but when
you get the chance to open it could you please open up
the after ibogaine list some time in the next week or
two like you said you would.

I am not bitching about anything, love the site and
your writing is awesome and enjoy the hope that is
here. but every time I open up my mailbox I have 200
letters from this list and at least half of it is like
coffee talk for junkies or someone explaining how
important they are.

i would like to talk to people who have already done
ibogaine and are trying to stay sober which is where i
am at, I have done it twice and am still very shaky
but trying. No disrespect to anyone but I read 20 long
letters from one person who seems very smart and
knowledgeable and then a month later oh by the way,
they’ve never done ibogaine and are still using. Ok I
appreciate you being smart and may like reading what
you say but somehow I don’t have that much interest in
taking advice from someone who isn’t clean and hasn’t
done ibogaine and is handing out sobriety advice and
explaining how to get the most from their ibo
experience.

I feel like I’m going crazy a lot of the time its very
hard to maintain, I go to 12 step meetings but most of
the time I only feel worse and want to get high and
mindvox is the only site I’ve ever found which isn’t
so depressing and has a lot of hope but I don’t want
to talk to people who are still getting high.

thank you

Hi Preston,

I had a similar reaction to Leslie’s post. Like you, it is likely that I will be trying ibo for the first time very soon.  I found ibogaine by way of harm reduction, an approach to addiction which says that is a former junkie or crackhead now smokes weed or doesn’t drink alcoholically, they are a success.  While total abstinence is a valid choice, it by no means is the only acceptable outcome of drug treatment.

I left NA for the last time determined to find a better way to deal with my addictions.
While I met a handful of really genuine compassionate people in NA, most I came across thought of their “cleantime” as giving them the right to be as obnoxious, pushy, and just all around intolerable pain in the ass as they wanted to be.  True, some of the crew I banged dope with were not much better at times, but at least they had drugs as an excuse.

Leaving NA, ironically may be what saves my life.  If my liver is OK. I should soon be getting ibo treatment, a found a great therapist who views does not consider addiction disease, and I am getting more sleep now that I don’t go to all those meetings.  Yes, leaving NA is probably the best thing I ever did.

To Howard,

I think there may be a misunderstanding of some kind.  Maybe my whole letter did not get published.  I in no way ment disrespect when I said “some junkie in New York”.

Did you read the part that said in the future some kid may do a book report about Howard?  I seem to have the feeling something is missing.  I am some junkie in Detroit and not one to throw stones.  If what I wrote is taken out of context I can see how a misunderstanding can arise.

This is the letter in it’s entirity:

**************

Hi All,

It was durning the civil war that the syringe was invented. Fun facts to know and tell.  Well anyway that is when a chemist invented diactlymorphone(sp) di ass a tee al    morphone, commonly known as heroin.  It was just as good as morphine for pain only non addictive.  If they allowed it on the market USP (medical grade) it would of helped a lot of people, eased a lot of pain and suffering.  Some time in the future some kid will be reading in a history book about heroin and how people were getting strung out on it.  Some junkie in New York noticed that it stopped addiction.  And some guy named Howard fought to have it used as a tool along with methadone, llam and subutex.  As it turned out it was a hell of a fight but he won and many people quit the drug that ruined many of lives.  It was a humane way to end an addiction for they used to make the addict go cold turkey which was very painful only to have them start up again.  It seemed addicts were in the same class of drunks and no one really cared that much about them.

Many people would of said well I cured my habit, let the others do what they can about their problem.  But Howard gave of himself, time and energy so others could enjoy a better quality of life.  And the kid will think to himself hmmmm…..wonder what this guy was like, he helped a lot of people.  Not only the addict but their wives, their children, their families, helped stop crime, saved taxpayers money and a lot more.  Specially since there were diseases like hepatitis B and C which killed many people along with another one called AIDS that people who used drugs seemed to catch.  Maybe I’ll do a book report on him.

******************************

I ment no disrespect.  If I used a poor choice of words please accept my apology.

Sincerely,

– JIM

Patrick is funny and can be charming 🙂 No I’m not gay. There’s no point
in arguing with him
because nobody ever wins, I said that last year the verbal apocalypse
would be him and Marc
Emery having a debate 🙂 He is also obnoxious and crazy but I’ve never
seen him insult
anybody, your role model there is someone who writes ‘niggahz for life’
and shows his track
marks on tv with his name all over the screen, I do not get the impression
he is ashamed of
being a junkie. What you did was dis everybody who is less pure then
you, or that is how you
made it sound.

There is a after ibogaine list right now called sacrament, I signed up
to it 2 years ago, so did
a few others, nobody ever said anything there. Now its supposed to be
re opened with
another list. Their temple is online, it looks a lot like Mindvox from
the year 2000 🙂 The
only part Marko and Patrick forgot was ‘welcome to the world’s largest
ibogaine hcl
dealership’ 😉

When does Sacrament officially open Mr. High Priest? You alive Patrick?

Peace out and sign up if you want off the worthless druggie list Leslie
and yes I am mad at
you too because I feel insulted and don’t want to feel insulted but still
do. I did not need the
negative energy. People using drugs do not bring me down, people insulting
me because I
use drugs or used them does. It does make me another nigger and I hate
that word but it’s
true enough.

“New Ways to Loosen Addiction’s Grip”
By ANAHAD O’CONNOR

Published: August 3, 2004

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/03/health/03addi.htm

This long (2600 word) article is worth reading.  Some snippets I found
interesting:

“60,000 Americans [have had] a chance to break their dependence on drugs
without shame [of methadone].”

“Buprenorphine, made by Reckitt Benckiser and sold under the brand name
Suboxone, became the first prescription medication for people addicted
to heroin or painkillers.

[snip]

Serious drug addiction is a problem that afflicts more than 10 million
Americans. Hard-core narcotics like heroin and cocaine have a
notoriously stubborn hold on addicts, and relapse rates are high.

[snip]

In laboratories around the country, researchers are creating
prescription medications to alleviate craving or blunt euphoria, and
working on vaccines that can prevent people from getting high by mopping
up a drug in the bloodstream. In some cases, the research is already
bearing fruit: Campral, a new prescription drug to block cravings for
alcohol, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration last week.
Other medications are likely to enter the market within a few years.

[snip]

“We now know the changes these drugs cause in the brain at the molecular
level that lead to addiction,” said Dr. Eric J. Nestler, chairman of the
department of psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern medical
center.

[snip]

Between 180,000 and 200,000 Americans are on methadone, said Dr. David
M. McDowell, director of a program at Columbia University that helps
people make the transition from methadone to buprenorphine, then refers
them to other doctors for private care. In New York, 36,000 people are
on methadone.

“The most stigmatized thing in this world is methadone,” said Dr. Edwin
A. Salsitz, director of Beth Israel Medical Center’s methadone program
in New York. “There is nothing people try to hide more than being on
methadone. They don’t want to be seen going into a clinic. They won’t
tell anyone they’re taking it.”

[snip]

Doctors in the United States wrote 80,000 prescriptions for
buprenorphine in 2003, a number that is expected to soar in the coming
years. Lured by the prospect of privacy, many heroin and opiate abusers
are seeking help for the first time. Others are switching from methadone.

[snip]

It [buprenorphine] is not perfect by any means. One drawback is that for
some longtime heroin users, its effects are too weak, and methadone ends
up as their only alternative. But for those who can take it,
buprenorphine’s effects last longer than methadone’s, experts say, which
drives the likelihood of relapse down sharply.

Lesley, I understand how it is s/w inconvenient to have a lot of e-mails but I really hope all of you after Ibogaine folks don’t forget that your success instills hope in those of us hoping to try Ibogaine one of these days.
Would it be an inconvenience to share with those of us who at this point are less fortunate than you? I hope you now don’t feel you are not a junkie anymore! The only difference in you and I is that you have done Ibogaine and I haven’t. You used to be sitting right where I am….I hope for your sake you don’t forget that!

This was very reassuring and I say “thanks Jaden,” especially reading it
directly after Leslie’s note that seemed to say, “if you’re not in my club I
don’t wanna know.” Maybe I’m sensitive, not being in the club yet. But
regardless, Jaden’s note was much more in tune with what I wanted to read at
this momentous (to me) brink in my life. The positive notes are helping a
lot, as are most others too. But Leslie’s just bummed me out. It sounded
exactly like what I used to hear over and over in NA meetings- “you’re on
methadone? Fuck off and shut up- what could you possibly have to say to me,
still-high-guy? I’m clean and want my exclusive clubhouse, without you dirty
people messing up my space.”
Peace and love, and trying to stay positive but as noted still
feeling a little nervous and sensitive (not to mention perhaps insensitive
to Leslie) and excited and happy and tumbled and scared and apprehensive and
jittery and very very much looking forward to this and, well, perhaps you
understand,
Preston

I’m some junkie from Vancouver. Maybe I do have
potential after all and if being some junkie from New
York was your pool of strength then I guess I also
have a pool to drink from. I would not have been
introduced to Ibogaine had it not been for Howard  and
Marc Emery and so to you both I am grateful. I suspect
that everyone who has experienced Ibogaine is like me
in the way  that even if they go back to using, their
lives have been transformed in no small way by the
experience. And I cant shake it. I have been learning
as much as I can every day about Ibogaine for the last
two years and being this list has allowed me to talk
to people who acctually know what I am talking about.
I grew up in the system and my education and attitude
has always been pure street. So when I was pulled off
the street by Marc Emery  to guinea pig some african
root that would supposedly get me clean I didnt
believe a word of it, but I had nothing to loose.
When I came out the other side I was different,
because I was myself for the first time. Well I didnt
know this self but I was anxious to get to know me.
The last two years since Ibogaine have been the best
of my  whole life. I  got to  do a year of film school
and help people get off methadone with Ibogaine and
learn the guitar and see what human relationships are
really all about. Its lonely is really the only think
that makes me sad about living. Sure I have friends
but when you  cant share your passions with them it
sometimes makes you lonely. Can anyone relate?
About the man who wasnt happy with his Ibogaine
experience. For me, it was very visual and very
personalised. I did have to relive a few things that
made me very uncomfortable. Who wants to be faced with
a bunch of truth right? But Ibogaine put me in  that
state of now. Inside Ibogaine I dont think you can
experience fear, I dont think you can have a bad trip.
I saw things that when they happened I was younger and
very scared at the time. When I saw it again through
my Ibo-eyes I could see that yes it was a scary
situation for me but I had an understanding of it that
wasnt there before . When I “awoke” I knew that it
really wasnt my  fault it was just something that
happened to me that sucked. But that new understanding
was so liberating. Ibogaine gave that to me. My  point
is that sure the visual part of Ibogaine can be
uncomfortable but  I  think its a gift and sometimes
its neccessary  to feel disomfort to becom free of
something. Hope that came out properly. Take care.

Hi Callie,

I guess it always comes down to that…some junkie
in new york.  That should
be the rallying call for our next president…and
now your next president,
some junkie from new york.  The answer is yes and I
really have to go back to the
core strength of having been some junkie in new york
because it is amazing
that regardless of my doing what many considered
impossible: Obtaining patents
for ibogaine to treat chemical dependence, getting
the DEA to cooperate, after
seven or eight years getting NIDA to initiate an
ibogaine research program,
providing the first contracts to work with ibogaine
to both Glick and Mash and a
lot more that I will hold for future discussion or
really can’t say, the
strength from which I derived the power to move
science and governments was by
being some junkie from new york.  Remember Moses was
some jew from egypt and
Jesus was a convicted criminal.  And yes, lotsof was
some junkie from new york.
The road that I have walked to make ibogaine
available to those who need it is
to me the same road of good works of many who have
come before me and many who
will come after me.  And every time I think of my
own work I think of how
brave some of the people who have assisted me have
been, then and now.

Hope that helps and thanks as always.

Howard

Preston is right, Burroughs came out with the book Junky a long time

junkie, hype, all those
terms show up in books starting in the 50’s, by the 60’s heroin was not
in anyone’s
imagination ‘a not addictive drug’ it was schedule 1 since before Howard
was born (sorry if
I’m making you younger Howard 🙂

Don’t see the problem with junkie from NY, that would be patrick, preston
and more people
who don’t have those 7 letter long first names starting with ‘p’ 🙂

I know that term is hard to accept for some and makes us all get angry,
the first time i read
patrick’s war on drugs ‘I belong to the last tribe of niggers on the
planet’ rant it struck some
nerves because it was so angry and offensive, but honest. We are still
thought of as human
garbage, nothing changes.

Peace out, from some junkie in San Francisco

I’m some junkie from Vancouver. Maybe I do have
potential after all and if being some junkie from New
York was your pool of strength then I guess I also
have a pool to drink from. I would not have been
introduced to Ibogaine had it not been for Howard  and
Marc Emery and so to you both I am grateful. I suspect
that everyone who has experienced Ibogaine is like me
in the way  that even if they go back to using, their
lives have been transformed in no small way by the
experience. And I cant shake it. I have been learning
as much as I can every day about Ibogaine for the last
two years and being this list has allowed me to talk
to people who acctually know what I am talking about.
I grew up in the system and my education and attitude
has always been pure street. So when I was pulled off
the street by Marc Emery  to guinea pig some african
root that would supposedly get me clean I didnt
believe a word of it, but I had nothing to loose.
When I came out the other side I was different,
because I was myself for the first time. Well I didnt
know this self but I was anxious to get to know me.
The last two years since Ibogaine have been the best
of my  whole life. I  got to  do a year of film school
and help people get off methadone with Ibogaine and
learn the guitar and see what human relationships are
really all about. Its lonely is really the only think
that makes me sad about living. Sure I have friends
but when you  cant share your passions with them it
sometimes makes you lonely. Can anyone relate?
About the man who wasnt happy with his Ibogaine
experience. For me, it was very visual and very
personalised. I did have to relive a few things that
made me very uncomfortable. Who wants to be faced with
a bunch of truth right? But Ibogaine put me in  that
state of now. Inside Ibogaine I dont think you can
experience fear, I dont think you can have a bad trip.
I saw things that when they happened I was younger and
very scared at the time. When I saw it again through
my Ibo-eyes I could see that yes it was a scary
situation for me but I had an understanding of it that
wasnt there before . When I “awoke” I knew that it
really wasnt my  fault it was just something that
happened to me that sucked. But that new understanding
was so liberating. Ibogaine gave that to me. My  point
is that sure the visual part of Ibogaine can be
uncomfortable but  I  think its a gift and sometimes
its neccessary  to feel disomfort to becom free of
something. Hope that came out properly. Take care.

Hi Callie,

I guess it always comes down to that…some junkie
in new york.  That should
be the rallying call for our next president…and
now your next president,
some junkie from new york.  The answer is yes and I
really have to go back to the
core strength of having been some junkie in new york
because it is amazing
that regardless of my doing what many considered
impossible: Obtaining patents
for ibogaine to treat chemical dependence, getting
the DEA to cooperate, after
seven or eight years getting NIDA to initiate an
ibogaine research program,
providing the first contracts to work with ibogaine
to both Glick and Mash and a
lot more that I will hold for future discussion or
really can’t say, the
strength from which I derived the power to move
science and governments was by
being some junkie from new york.  Remember Moses was
some jew from egypt and
Jesus was a convicted criminal.  And yes, lotsof was
some junkie from new york.
The road that I have walked to make ibogaine
available to those who need it is
to me the same road of good works of many who have
come before me and many who
will come after me.  And every time I think of my
own work I think of how
brave some of the people who have assisted me have
been, then and now.

Hope that helps and thanks as always.

Howard

short note for patrick, I know your very busy but when
you get the chance to open it could you please open up
the after ibogaine list some time in the next week or
two like you said you would.

I am not bitching about anything, love the site and
your writing is awesome and enjoy the hope that is
here. but every time I open up my mailbox I have 200
letters from this list and at least half of it is like
coffee talk for junkies or someone explaining how
important they are.

i would like to talk to people who have already done
ibogaine and are trying to stay sober which is where i
am at, I have done it twice and am still very shaky
but trying. No disrespect to anyone but I read 20 long
letters from one person who seems very smart and
knowledgeable and then a month later oh by the way,
they’ve never done ibogaine and are still using. Ok I
appreciate you being smart and may like reading what
you say but somehow I don’t have that much interest in
taking advice from someone who isn’t clean and hasn’t
done ibogaine and is handing out sobriety advice and
explaining how to get the most from their ibo
experience.

I feel like I’m going crazy a lot of the time its very
hard to maintain, I go to 12 step meetings but most of
the time I only feel worse and want to get high and
mindvox is the only site I’ve ever found which isn’t
so depressing and has a lot of hope but I don’t want
to talk to people who are still getting high.

thank you

Thanks Julian and everyone else who replied to my post about my unhappy

He was supposed to write me that night, but didn’t.
I cannot give more details about what he told me as it’s not my business to
do so- I would hope he would come on the list and write something, but I
don’t think that’s going to happen either.
But anyway, thanks for the well wishes his direction, and mine as well
to everyone who sent them or merely thought them without sending the email.

Hey Preston. I’m sorry for your friend but it may not be as negative as it
seems. I don’t know a whole lot about Ibogaine but there absolutely must be
a connection between set/setting and any Haullucinatory experience.  That’s
the nature of the beast. (This beast at least) I don’t know your friend but
could these visuals have been inside him and the experience exorcized them?
I guess only he knows exactly what it is and he did tell you about it but
not knowing myself the details, I’d say it must be partly what was in him
and the Ibo managed to bring it out. You know, did he ever have terrible
dreams, nightmares? Heavy shit in his life? Did he understand the visuals
and was he able to recognize any of them? Try to find him and just be a
friend . I wish I knew more so I could give you better feedback but I will
pray for him.

Shelley, I am looking forward to reading your adventure with Ibogaine.I am so happy you are willing to share. I believe sharing is important for you to continue your recovery and sharing is the only way now to get the news out about Ibogaine treatment. That is sad but it will be sadder if treatment is one day legalized and it is abused by those hoping to make a profit by treating addicts.

Those were interesting comments Mr. Harris, but there is no doubt in my mind you have a more extensive background in drugs than just a person with some strong opinions. Obviously it is not mandatory but Could you apprise me of your ‘history’ or specific background? I know you wanted to appear somewhat neutral but you didn’t.

Hey DH. Yes it was. The pictures were taken in May. Without going into a long explanation, it amazes me how hard it is for some people to get legal status in this country and yet it seems so easy for others who may not be so desirable. I know quite a few women, mostly philipino who are really nice people, work very hard, extremely law abiding and believe it or not I’ve yet to meet one who gets high or has even tried it once. They may drink a little but euphoria in any other form? Never! Anyway, her name is Luna.

Been reading the list for a while and enjoy the

Ibogaine looks like a better detox then anything
else going from the people I’ve heard from here but
understanding I am only basing what I say on people
who talk here, I don’t see the longer term results as
better then any other treatment. If there are some
facts to the contrary, I haven’t seen them.
The Howard Lotsoff and Dr. Mash wars I have no
interest in and not too much sympathy for either way.
I’m sure Dr. Mash is what she is, but I haven’t seen
anything different from the other side Mr. Lotsoff
except self-referential egotism. You Mr. Kroupa I
would say a few things to as well but I’ve thought
better of it. Whatever you and Dr. Mash have, enjoy
it. If you are arrogant then for many reasons you have
a right to be and you are also no different than the
company you keep.
I enjoy Mindvox, what I would say to you personally
and have said but you have this habit of ignoring all
your email is that whether you want to acknowledge it
or accept it or not, makes no difference. The road you
chose out of addiction is shamanism. That’s what I see
when I look at Mindvox, a mind numbing collection of
information and experiences all integrated together
into a very strange whole. Bravo to you, but not very
workable for most addicts I have ever known.
I’ve no doubts all of you do much good, I see it on
this list as well and do not take away from that. In
fact the reason I have a place to air my opinions is
thanks to you Mr. Kroupa, so thank you. But it doesn’t
change the fact that all the finger pointing and name
calling is nothing but the pot calling the kettle
black and this bill of rights is a fine idea,
worthless legally but I’m sure in a few more months
you can begin asking all the treatment providers who
want to hand you the reigns, for annual payments for
this ‘privilege’ 😉

Hi All,

It was durning the civil war that the syringe was invented. Fun facts to know and tell.  Well anyway that is when a chemist invented diactlymorphone(sp) di ass a tee al    morphone, commonly known as heroin.  It was just as good as morphine for pain only non addictive.  If they allowed it on the market USP (medical grade) it would of helped a lot of people, eased a lot of pain and suffering.  Some time in the future some kid will be reading in a history book about heroin and how people were getting strung out on it.  Some junkie in New York noticed that it stopped addiction.  And some guy named Howard fought to have it used as a tool along with methadone, llam and subutex.  As it turned out it was a hell of a fight but he won and many people quit the drug that ruined many of lives.  It was a humane way to end an addiction for they used to make the addict go cold turkey which was very painful only to have them start up again.  It seemed addicts were in the same class of drunks and no one really cared that much about them.

Many people would of said well I cured my habit, let the others do what they can about their problem.  But Howard gave of himself, time and energy so others could enjoy a better quality of life.  And the kid will think to himself hmmmm…..wonder what this guy was like, he helped a lot of people.  Not only the addict but their wives, their children, their families, helped stop crime, saved taxpayers money and a lot more.  Specially since there were diseases like hepatitis B and C which killed many people along with another one called AIDS that people who used drugs seemed to catch.  Maybe I’ll do a book report on him.

Hey all,       I’ve been reading the posts about the Ibogaine bill of rights with much interests but have refrained from comment until now. I haven’t had the treatment yet so I don’t feel I have much right to say anything, but then realized that this bill of rights is for people like me. I am glad that someone is looking ahead to the next patient and from what I’ve seen and read I’m glad that its Howard Lotsoff. If you look at the history of Ibogaine and its use for addiction his name comes up the earliest and most often. I’m sure that most of the providers read this list and all of them know who Howard is. Also, he’s one of us. He’s been addicted and knows how much it sucks. Unless there is some reason not to trust him, and I’m sure it would have come out by now given that the powers that be would love to have some juicy shit to throw around whenever Ibogaine comes up, he gets my vote to be qualified to write it. Hell I say we write him in for president. Be better than Bush or Kerry and a hell of lot more interesting. Instead of “Hail to the chief” we play “Journey to the center of our mind” whenever he makes an appearance. But I digress. I’m not trying to suck up to anyone I just think that Howard’s name should garner the respect to make the providers at least look at the bill of rights and go with it. I read them and agree with what it says and can’t think of any thing to add. Free your mind and your ass will follow       Randy

To Preston,

You seen the guy and he wasn’t doing too good.  Maybe something is wrong with his life.  He did not enjoy the ‘trip’.  It may be the setting, the vibes, maybe he was not ready for it – who knows.

However, you seem ready, willing and able.   You seemed to cover all your bases.  Perhaps you planned this important event.  Of course I am not saying he did not.  Remember, everyone is different.  Of all the people who went through the Ibogaine experience he seems to be the only one who did not enjoy it. Everyone else seemed to have gained something from it.  Think about that.  Life is full of chances and choices.  However, it appears to me the odds are on your side.  Of course this is just my opinion.  What kind of guy is/was he, could that have something to do with it?

You got my best wishes,

Dear Preston,

You provide a rich environment for discussion. To the best of my
understanding no one has yet been able to determine the outcome of any given ibogaine
therapy. Probably outside of St Kitts and I am not even sure extensive
psychiatric testing is done there or there any longer so we are left with no real
understanding of the psychiatric health of any given drug user going into ibogaine
therapy. Considering that I believe current research indicates 60+% of drug
users to have concurrent psychiatric conditions I am not sure where this takes
us or not. Was your friend depressed or unhappy before ibogaine and there is
a difference between being depressed and being unhappy?

As to set and setting the answer is certainly set and setting have some
effect but, I believe they have less effect with ibogaine than with lsd-like drugs.
Ibogaine is a pretty much self contained experience though I have no doubt
someone can manage to fuck it up. As for setting while I would prefer a quite
room in the country or by the sea and a good team of caretakers I am uncertain
if taking it in a junkies apartment would cause significant distinct
outcomes. For instance, experiencing ibogaine in a heavy drug environment may move
the subject to become more aware of just how foreboding such an environment is
and that much more motivated to change or leave the environment.

Ibogaine cannot give to you more than you bring to it. Everything ibogaine
teaches you or you learn from the ibogaine experience, you already know. You
are just not necessarily immediately aware of it.

Anything you think will increase your odds of a good ibogaine experience,
certainly do. Whether it is lighting a candle or other good things Dave mentions
or getting work out of the way as you did with your book, do it. Maybe the
iboga spirits moved you to finish your book so you could have that
accomplishment to enrich your experience and maybe not. You are a writer, a photographer,
an artist. That is saying a lot.

My advice to anyone going into the ibogaine experience is to have no
expectations, it is really interesting, it does end and enjoy yourself. And don’t
judge the experience until after you have had the opportunity to sleep and rest.
The one thing I am not going to do specifically is tell you to take ibogaine.
That is up to you though I do think everyone unless medically excluded will
benefit by the experience in one way or another and I am not just talking
about drug users.

Howard

Hi German _DC,

That was a nice pic.  There is a man named Robert Felix who wrote a book on the coming ice age.  He gives reasons, first there is global warming then the ice age.  You want to know why?  Follow this link and enjoy an hour long conversation about why and why the next one is gonna be a BIGGIE.  Hey, It’s free just follow this link.  No, I am not affiliated with the web site in any way shape of form.  Just thought I would pass it on to my friends on the forum.

Hi Julian,

Happens all the time,  look at some of the Chicago 7.  Most are wearing business suites and have a respectable job.  No more crashing on someone floor, it’s 4 and 5 star hotels and flying first class and nice restaurants.  Many saw profit as a dirty word.  There is nothing wrong with profit.  Profit motivates people.  It’s the GREAD that’s bad.  Enron, Haliburtion oil companies etc.  How can there be a electricity shortage in California while 100 miles away Las Vegas continues with bright lights as usual.  There were people saying we have to decide if we pay our rent or electric bill.  Their electric bill was $800 per month.  What’s kinda funny is movie stars making $20 million per pic sticking up for the little guy and calling the other party for the rich.  Sure Bush gave tax cuts to the rich – the VERY rich who did not need it.  While approximately 30% of the people have no medical insurance.

It was kind of funny when they say jobs actually increased.  Yes, that is true, but they were McDonalds type jobs that paid so low you could work 60 to 80 hours a week and still be in the poverty level for a family of 4.  I am sure you heard that they tried to reclassify a McDonalds jobs flipping burgers to manufactoring.  After all, then do manufactor a product that is consumed.

Yea, yea, yea, same old shit.  For most practial purposes there are not two parties there is one party but they have it look like two.  See, that way we do not have a dictator we have a democracy.  Regan, who I liked spent money like it was going out of style.  Then a little late came Clinton who was suppose to be a liberal type who ran the country and had a surplus (some people think the surplus was all bullshit, how would I know?).  Now you got George “the Moran” Bush (sounds like a wrestler doesn’t it) spending money like it’s going out of style.  Spending a billion a week for a silly ass war and not even providing his troops with the armour necessary to save their lives.  How much is an American soldiers life worth – $10,000.  Yea, that’s what the spouce gets if the soldier gets killed.  What about the kids who grow up as delinquents because mommy had to work to support the kids and while the wife was at work the kids ran around with gangs because they had no supervision.  They said there was no such thing as Vietnam syndrome and Agent Orange was not to blame for anything.  Then 20 years later when many of the people affected were dead or close to it they said it may have contributed to their illness.

Now, did you know that 1/3 of the people in Gulf War I came back with illnesses.  Some said it was nerve gas, other said it was biological weapons.  Are you a gambleing man?  Watch the same thing is going to happen with DU (depleted uranium) shells and the smallpox vaccine.  And in 20 years the government will admit that the DU or smallpox may of caused some of their medical problems.  In the meantime the soldiers are hurting, unable to make a living, child abuse, feeling inadequate because they can no longer support their family, depression, suicide, etc.

But Chaney, Bush, I forget the secretary of defense’s name, none of them guys ever had a bullet fired at them.  Chaney got five (5) exceptions during the Vietnam ‘police action’.  In the bible days the king would go to war, not just his men.  I think it should be the same today.  No more running the war from the comfort of the white house in air conditioning and eating the best of foods.  No, the leaders should get their ass shot at and get their legs blown off.  And see how eager they are.  Yea, Bring them on, our forces will keep them out of the white house.

Ok, your turn to babble on.

– JIM

P.S.  I got to go but I have a small program, with no directions that will let you edit your pics.  I don’t know if it is free or a bootleg or what.  It is not all that great but you can crop pics and thus remove or add writing.  It is a small program and damn near useless but it is free.  If I had speed like a DSL or Cable I would send you the software I got with my digital cam.  But at 38K it would take about a day.  I will try and send the small program to you today.  But let me know it you want it.  I will tell you off line the size of it.  You must be VERY careful running .exe programs that people send to you.  In fact I will just send it to you off line.  Let me know if you want it.

Not a month before all this you were a real asshole, greedy capitalist and killer of earth life if you enjoyed any kind of materialism! That’s the real killer of ideas: hypocrisy!!! People have transient philosophy. They base it not on what reality shows us but their own personal condition!!! I hate to say this Jim but our generation has really fucked things up far worse than our parents ever could have!! This yuppy world of straights can’t even talk to their kids about sex and/or drugs. We have become more conservative and shallow than many previous generations. Do you remember how we ridiculed our parents for their materialistic and prudent ways?! How ignorant and conformist they were? Man are we a sad generation of losers!!! Thank God for this site where I’ve met a few really insightful people that seem to “get it”. I’m sorry for ranting on my soap box but I just had this same argument with an acquaintance of mine who was a real hippie type fiend and now he is shallower than the people he used to put down harshly.

That was a nice pic.  There is a man named Robert Felix who wrote a book on the coming ice age.  He gives reasons, first there is global warming then the ice age.  You want to know why?  Follow this link and enjoy an hour long conversation about why and why the next one is gonna be a BIGGIE.  Hey, It’s free just follow this link.  No, I am not affiliated with the web site in any way shape of form.  Just thought I would pass it on to my friends on the forum.

Hello Shelley. You have already contributed something to this list. I have been recieving, reading and learning from this Ibo group for about two years now and have always stayed in the shadows but today you brought me out. Thanx. I live in Vancouver, Canada and I have also taken Ibogaine for my heroin and cocaine addiction. After every visit I returned feeling alive and completely detoxified from the drugs in my body. I am used to the disbelief and blank looks on faces when I try to tell people about my experience, which is quite often. So that is one of the powers of this list. Dialogue with others who have witnessed the “awesome effectiveness of Ibogaine & its transformative value”. Also the education involved. Always new conversations and new ideas and suggestions and the combined experience of people on the list. Mmmhmm, so hello and welcome Shelley and thanx for waking me up.

Good Morning Meredith. My name is Julian and I don’t know enough about Ibogaine to teach you anything. There are several others far more qualified here than I, but I can tell you a little about me and why I’m interested in Iboga/Ibogaine. I am 49 years old and have been into getting high since 10 years of age. From the age of 15-28 I found my one and only true love-smack. Towards the end of that 13 year period I added coke to the mixture and lived on speedballs. At 28 I went on Methadone and have been on ever since. I had no desire to get off the meth or even change my at all until october,last year. I had a serious motorcycle accident and have been in serious pain ever since. Due to the effects of the meth it was very hard to find any relief  from the pain and of course I experienced the typical bias from the healthfield that I’m just another junkie looking for a legal fix. I figured it was time for some real spiritual and psychological exploration to see if I want to and able to change my attitude about chemicals in general. Regardless of my negative experiences, I am still in love with getting high, though I don’t do it very much anymore. I believe Iboga/Ibogaine can provide me with the insight I am seeking and the bio-chemical changes I need to detox from meth if I decide to do that. I hope I’ve given you enough info about myself to give you a decent idea of who I am and what I want with Ibogaine.

By the way, welcome to this site.

A few others who have done Iboga have described their experience and to me it sounds so right. Though there are similiarities, there does seem to be differences as well just as one would find with other drugs of this nature.

Hey all,       I’ve been reading the posts about the Ibogaine bill of rights with much interests but have refrained from comment until now. I haven’t had the treatment yet so I don’t feel I have much right to say anything, but then realized that this bill of rights is for people like me. I am glad that someone is looking ahead to the next patient and from what I’ve seen and read I’m glad that its Howard Lotsoff. If you look at the history of Ibogaine and its use for addiction his name comes up the earliest and most often. I’m sure that most of the providers read this list and all of them know who Howard is. Also, he’s one of us. He’s been addicted and knows how much it sucks. Unless there is some reason not to trust him, and I’m sure it would have come out by now given that the powers that be would love to have some juicy shit to throw around whenever Ibogaine comes up, he gets my vote to be qualified to write it. Hell I say we write him in for president. Be better than Bush or Kerry and a hell of lot more interesting. Instead of “Hail to the chief” we play “Journey to the center of our mind” whenever he makes an appearance. But I digress. I’m not trying to suck up to anyone I just think that Howard’s name should garner the respect to make the providers at least look at the bill of rights and go with it. I read them and agree with what it says and can’t think of any thing to add. Free your mind and your ass will follow       Randy

Dear Friend Jim,

I like Alan Parker as a director but Midnight Express is not totaly true. I watched it (ofcourse from the DVD because that movie banned in the Turkey) I hate Turkish justice system and there is so many problem in here.

But that movie puts all the nation in same place (It’s smels like little racist. There is so many wrong thing in that movie for example everybody in the movie talking greek language or greek accent, Names of the places are wrong…. bla bla bla)

But if I have to say honestly there is so many thing is so close to Turkish Realty in the movie. Unfortunately Turkish Jails and courts are ugly.

Also most of the people in Turkey is homophobic. They are double-faced people (they use to sleep with the gays and travesties at night secretly and they says “we hate homos” in the morning.)

But everybody is  not bad here in Turkey. There are also good humans at least  as bad humans be. But bad burocratical headed peoples keep the power of reign in their hands.

I believe that evil is absence of emphaty

We have most beautiful weeds in Turkey. If you have good friends you don’t have to be affraid to have joint in Turkey. But you don’t have to trust people without knowing (you have)

Hi Friend Fakeplacebo,

Yes, I have heard of the Ottoman Empire.  Seems the British wanted to rule the world.  They got involved in The Faukland Islands, Guyna, Turkey, Austrila, India and many more places.  It used to be the sun never set on the Brisish Empire.

From what you say I would be afraid to have a joint in Turkey.  A friend of mine was in Turkey when he was in the U.S. Airforce and told me he had a taxi driver get him some weed or hash I forget which.  He said the government in MEAN, very harsh for almost everything.  Did you by any chance see a movie called Midnight Express or something like that.  It is about an American who goes to Turkey and gets caught with Hash.  He went through hell.  Then made an escape.  I was wondering if you seen it or if they may of banned it.

Thanks for the info, you learn something everyday.

Take care good buddy,

Dear Friend Jim,

Turkey is very different then the Arabic nations. Here in Turkey laws are not preparing according to the religion. Our law system is secular, nonclerical system. System is named democratical republic on the papers. But we have democratical problems.

I don’t know have you ever heard about Ottoman Empire? Turkey is the continue of that empire. In the begining of the 20. century Ottoman Empire collapsed and after  long Turkish war of independence against England, Italy, France, Greece, USA.(This war was to turn to country a colony.) Turkey Repuplic has builted by the great historical personality around 75 years ago. He’s name is Ataturk. He is the founder of the Turkey Republic. (I proud with him)

Here in Turkey, alcohol is free.  You can buy and drink every part of the country. Legal drugs are controlling by the goverenment and you can buy them only if you have proper prescription.

You can built mushrooms because nobody knows about them and they don’t understand what it is.

Also you can buy joint, extacy, Heroin and every kind of illegal drug from the black market if you have money. But the penalities are unexpectedly heavy.

In the big cities casual life is so close to the western world. Rich quarters of the city is nearly same like ordinary europian cities but the country side is very poor and ignorant.

Here in Turkey government and the army is so strong like George Orwells book “1984” and the goverenment does not trust it’s own citizens. But by the time democratical rights are developing very very slowly.

Hi Fakeplacebo,

I been wanting to talk to you for a while but first what you said below:

****
And after that many of the kids dead or ill. When we ask them to take back that material they didn’t want to do it. They want make us store that kind of material in our country and offered money for this. Our fucking local politicians accepted this dirty bussiness and we are storing developed countries poisoned garbage
****

Your politicians are just as crooked and rotten as ours.  It’s the same hear, it doesn’t matter if asbestos kill the worker as long as they can continue to manufactor it and make money.  Money matters, not lives.

Anyway, last time your wrote in you told about how in Turkey if you are caught with marijuana or heroin they put you in a cement cell for 10 days or so and you have no civil rights.

I was wondering do they have anything you can get high on in Turkey that is legal.  Like can a person drink beer or whiskey, do you have to go to the doctor to get valium, can you grow mushrooms (magic mushrooms that get you high).  And just to double check are they add that down on marijuana.  I mean do they fine you or put you in jail or both for maybe 10 grams or so?

I don’t know many people in Turkey so I figured I could ask you.

Good Luck and be careful,

The Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights and the associated grievance

HI all,

I bumped into an old friend today who a while ago did ibogaine for
his methadone addiction.

He was just coming from getting straight when I almost literally ran
into him, and he didn’t look like he was very happy, nor did he sound very
happy. Hell, he wasn’t very happy.

His description of the ibogaine session was not encouraging. He said
it was the most frightening thing he’d ever gone through, with him seeing
extremely violent imagery for hours and hours.

One question that came to mind- is it possible that the setting might
have an influence on what the ibogaine shows someone? I mean, I will not
go into the details of what he described to me as that’s just too much info
to successfully keep everyone anonymous, but considering what he says he was
shown/saw, and where he was doing it and whose place it was, it occured
to me that was he was seeing could have been due to the vibes in the place
where he wound up doing his dose. Not that the person hosting him was a
bad person or evil or anything like that, but he could have been an influence
for many reasons I can’t really go into. But my question remains- could
setting influence the trip, like with any other kind of trip? I mean, set
and setting are extremely important when one is doing heavy tripping,
particularly if doing it for more than simply party reasons, so is it the
same with ibogaine?

He said it did definitely work for his withdrawals issue, and that
he doesn’t have to go back to his methadone program, but he was not happy
with his experience, (as a matter of fact he kept apologizing to me, with me
insisting that wasn’t necessary at all but he wanted to badly to be able
to tell me something positive and couldn’t) saying he insisted that he had
to end it early, before the sitters/providers wanted him to. He said he was
being given a lot of doses, starting with one to begin with, then hours
later the doses began increasing steadily, but I do not know why, other
than he said they’d said something about him seemingly metabilizing it very
fast or something.

I’m a bit worried about and for him. So is V, who was with me when
I saw him. She has heard that some people do get very depressed after doing
ibogaine, and this guy is pretty much alone as far as I know and I don’t
have any way to get in touch with him really.

On a related note- I did not get that commercial I mentioned last week
(even though I did get the call back, damnit) and despite my initially
saying I didn’t want it because I wanted to do ibogaine I got really excited
about it after the call back thinking I might have gotten it and all the
good that could have come from it. I am now suspecting that, mumbo-jumbo
as I’m sure it will sound, the ibogaine spirits didn’t want me doing ibogaine
when I had first planned. Turned out that I had some very last minute
editing work to do Sunday and Monday on the book cover for Under the
Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs, a book I’ve edited and will
be coming out this October and which was sent off to the printers today. Had
I done ibogaine as planned, I wouldn’t have been capable of doing the
necessary work on my book- and it was only because I had been put in a
situation where it looked like I might be landing that commercial that
I was in a condition where I was able to work on more important book work
stuff
when it became necessary, and I’ll still be able to do the ibogaine another
time.

Weird.

Anyway, so this guy wasn’t happy. I’m not actually that worried about
my own session, as my own set and setting will be much better tuned to me
I think, considering what I know about his situation and comparing it to
mine.

But still, I am a little scared and nervous still, and wasn’t happy at
all to hear about his not-so-pleasent experience.

Please everyone, just think good thoughts for this unnamed person,
as he can use them very much I think, and I care very much about him and want
things to work out for him.

Feedback appreciated please.

Thanks all.

Dear Preston,

You provide a rich environment for discussion.  To the best of my
understanding no one has yet been able to determine the outcome of any given ibogaine
therapy.  Probably outside of St Kitts and I am not even sure extensive
psychiatric testing is done there or there any longer so we are left with no real
understanding of the psychiatric health of any given drug user going into ibogaine
therapy.  Considering that I believe current research indicates 60+% of drug
users to have concurrent psychiatric conditions I am not sure where this takes
us or not.  Was your friend depressed or unhappy before ibogaine and there is
a difference between being depressed and being unhappy?

As to set and setting the answer is certainly set and setting have some
effect but, I believe they have less effect with ibogaine than with lsd-like drugs.
Ibogaine is a pretty much self contained experience though I have no doubt
someone can manage to fuck it up.  As for setting while I would prefer a quite
room in the country or by the sea and a good team of caretakers I am uncertain
if taking it in a junkies apartment would cause significant distinct
outcomes.  For instance, experiencing ibogaine in a heavy drug environment may move
the subject to become more aware of just how foreboding such an environment is
and that much more motivated to change or leave the environment.

Ibogaine cannot give to you more than you bring to it.  Everything ibogaine
teaches you or you learn from the ibogaine experience, you already know.  You
are just not necessarily immediately aware of it.

Anything you think will increase your odds of a good ibogaine experience,
certainly do.  Whether it is lighting a candle or other good things Dave mentions
or getting work out of the way as you did with your book, do it.  Maybe the
iboga spirits moved you to finish your book so you could have that
accomplishment to enrich your experience and maybe not.  You are a writer, a photographer,
an artist.  That is saying a lot.

My advice to anyone going into the ibogaine experience is to have no
expectations, it is really interesting, it does end and enjoy yourself.  And don’t
judge the experience until after you have had the opportunity to sleep and rest.
The one thing I am not going to do specifically is tell you to take ibogaine.
That is up to you though I do think everyone unless medically excluded will
benefit by the experience in one way or another and I am not just talking
about drug users.

Howard

Howard, could you tell me what type of rights may have been violated (as
an example) to have necessitated instituting a bill of……? I mean even
when there are no violations one should have a bill posted and followed but
I can’t imagine what kind of complaints may have manifested from sessions.
Not
enough Ibogaine? Too much nausea that the guide did not eradicate completely?
Poor Quality?

Julian,

The only patient right that may have been violated is the right to be fully
informed as to risks and benefits.  However, please not that the Patients Bill
of Rights also includes patient responsibilities that I think are more often
violated on the part of some patients than their rights by ibogaine providers.

For four years now since recovering from leukemia I have viewed the work with
ibogaine to see of there was anything more I could do for it other than
providing its discovery.  Some of my work has been to consult to just about ever
yone who is providing ibogaine therapy.  But, that work except for specific
requests is principally done.  What was not done is what I believe I have now
accomplished, to establish a source that patients can access to understand their
rights as ibogaine patients and a process by which they can file grievances if
those rights are violated.

The Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights is not set in stone and may be amended
which is one of the reasons I posted it to this list.  The principal reason
for the Patients’ Bill of Rights is to inform patients that they do have rights.
When methadone maintenance was first established by Drs. Dole and Nyswander,
there were virtually no patient abuses.  However, as methadone maintenance
expanded patient abuses became pandemic.  Based on my experience in methadone
patient and cancer patient advocacy I perceived the best time to eliminate abuse
was at the beginning before a pattern of abuse might develop.

The grievance procedure gives us the ability to track abuses if they begin to
become evident.  My perception is that if there is a mechanism in place to
track abuses then those abuses will be less likely to occur.

The Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights and the associated grievance procedure
were developed to give ibogaine patients a sense of comfort, not to make them
more concerned.  The Bill of Rights provides knowledge as to ethical
principals that have come to be accepted in the practice of medicine and the treatment

I mean, set
and setting are extremely important when one is doing heavy tripping,
particularly if doing it for more than simply party reasons, so is it the
same with ibogaine?

absolutely, IMHO.

If I were you I would:

focus on my intentions…

ask for guidance from my higher self…

ask for healing…

ask for freedom…

ask for answers…

(these are things that were either suggested to me or i thought of on my own before I did Ibo in 98 – and it helped)

spend some time reflecting on yourself, where you are in your life, where you want to go from here.

write these things down to solidify them.

burn a candle. offer up a glass of water, light some incense. manifest your intentions with some sort of ritual. make it your own… own it.

A safe setting and having trust in your guide is extremely important.

make the setting safe.

make it dark, light sources can be extremely annoying.

make it quiet.

Trust in the process.

Depression post Ibo is a possibility, that is true.

Right before I was treated I heard similar stories from different sources, I had my own doubts as well. But I firmly believe these opportunities are not just random, for whatever reason you are being given the opportunity to experience Iboga. Honor that. It is a rare thing. It is a sacred thing.

I’m rooting for you all the way.

Peace,

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

HI all,
I bumped into an old friend today who a while ago did ibogaine for his
methadone addiction.
He was just coming from getting straight when I almost literally ran
into him, and he didn’t look like he was very happy, nor did he sound very
happy. Hell, he wasn’t very happy.
His description of the ibogaine session was not encouraging. He said it
was the most frightening thing he’d ever gone through, with him seeing
extremely violent imagery for hours and hours.
One question that came to mind- is it possible that the setting might
have an influence on what the ibogaine shows someone? I mean, I will not go
into the details of what he described to me as that’s just too much info to
successfully keep everyone anonymous, but considering what he says he was
shown/saw, and where he was doing it and whose place it was, it occured to
me that was he was seeing could have been due to the vibes in the place
where he wound up doing his dose. Not that the person hosting him was a bad
person or evil or anything like that, but he could have been an influence
for many reasons I can’t really go into. But my question remains- could
setting influence the trip, like with any other kind of trip? I mean, set
and setting are extremely important when one is doing heavy tripping,
particularly if doing it for more than simply party reasons, so is it the
same with ibogaine?
He said it did definitely work for his withdrawals issue, and that he
doesn’t have to go back to his methadone program, but he was not happy with
his experience, (as a matter of fact he kept apologizing to me, with me
insisting that wasn’t necessary at all but he wanted to badly to be able to
tell me something positive and couldn’t) saying he insisted that he had to
end it early, before the sitters/providers wanted him to. He said he was
being given a lot of doses, starting with one to begin with, then hours
later the doses began increasing steadily, but I do not know why, other than
he said they’d said something about him seemingly metabilizing it very fast
or something.
I’m a bit worried about and for him. So is V, who was with me when I saw
him. She has heard that some people do get very depressed after doing
ibogaine, and this guy is pretty much alone as far as I know and I don’t
have any way to get in touch with him really.
On a related note- I did not get that commercial I mentioned last week
(even though I did get the call back, damnit) and despite my initially
saying I didn’t want it because I wanted to do ibogaine I got really excited
about it after the call back thinking I might have gotten it and all the
good that could have come from it. I am now suspecting that, mumbo-jumbo as
I’m sure it will sound, the ibogaine spirits didn’t want me doing ibogaine
when I had first planned. Turned out that I had some very last minute
editing work to do Sunday and Monday on the book cover for Under the
Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs, a book I’ve edited and will be
coming out this October and which was sent off to the printers today. Had I
done ibogaine as planned, I wouldn’t have been capable of doing the
necessary work on my book- and it was only because I had been put in a
situation where it looked like I might be landing that commercial that I was
in a condition where I was able to work on more important book work stuff
when it became necessary, and I’ll still be able to do the ibogaine another
time.
Weird.
Anyway, so this guy wasn’t happy. I’m not actually that worried about my
own session, as my own set and setting will be much better tuned to me I
think, considering what I know about his situation and comparing it to mine.
But still, I am a little scared and nervous still, and wasn’t happy at all
to hear about his not-so-pleasent experience.
Please everyone, just think good thoughts for this unnamed person, as he
can use them very much I think, and I care very much about him and want
things to work out for him.
Feedback appreciated please.
Thanks all.
Peace,
Preston

Hey list,

Mc was on my mind today as well.  He seems like a great guy. I got my EKG and blood drawn for a liver profile.
I am hoping that my liver is up for ibogaine.  The EKG was fine.  I have no idea what level of enzymes etc. excludes one form eligibility for ibo.  Well, even if my liver isn’t ready for ibo, I am.  But I really hope the liver is set too.:)

On the money Jim! As much as I detest my pessimistic and cynical attitude and perception of our reality, it is what it is! I know you see this and thankfully a few others here see it. There are a few on the outside but the fucking majority and popular percentage of our population won’t see it. Everything’s cool, you know? There is this guy who I thought was pretty insightful and angry enough to understand how things really are. He was a real supporter of Marxist ideaology and extreme socialism.

The guy comes into a decent piece of coin and it turns out his philosophy was motivated strictly by his poverty. He drives a nice car, always has money and runs his own business. Not a month before all this you were a real asshole, greedy capitalist and killer of earth life if you enjoyed any kind of materialism! That’s the real killer of ideas: hypocrisy!!! People have transient philosophy. They base it not on what reality shows us but their own personal condition!!! I hate to say this Jim but our generation has really fucked things up far worse than our parents ever could have!! This yuppy world of straights can’t even talk to their kids about sex and/or drugs. We have become more conservative and shallow than many previous generations. Do you remember how we ridiculed our parents for their materialistic and prudent ways?! How ignorant and conformist they were? Man are we a sad generation of losers!!! Thank God for this site where I’ve met a few really insightful people that seem to “get it”. I’m sorry for ranting on my soap box but I just had this same argument with an acquaintance of mine who was a real hippie type fiend and now he is shallower than the people he used to put down harshly.

Later man,

Hey Shelley. Could you do me a favor and describe as best you are able what your experience was like? If it’s too personal, that’s OK but for me and others as well who are looking forward to experiencing Iboga/Ibogaine, it would be fascinating! A few others who have done Iboga have described their experience and to me it sounds so right. Though there are similiarities, there does seem to be differences as well just as one would find with other drugs of this nature.

Hi Carla,

What the Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights does is to inform ibogaine
patients that they have rights similar to those of other patients.  When the National
Alliance of Methadone Advocates set up a grievance procedure they were
initially viewed with much hostility by methadone providers and still are by some
but, there have been changes and federal guidelines now support grievance
procedures and in fact the feds themselves list a methadone patients bill of rights
though it is one that indicates a lot of control of methadone patients.

What the Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights and the Grievance procedure does
is allow tracking of grievances and my bet is that whether any ibogaine
provider formally acknowledges the grievances that may be filed or the bill of rights
that they will take it into account as it allows general tracking of the care
with which they are treating patients.  The rights described for Ibogaine
patients are in keeping with rights that are acknowledged for most medical
patients and there is no reason that ibogaine patients should have less rights than
others.  As for power to do something, taking your self and your money to
another ibogaine provider is a lot of power.  I have no doubt that the majority of
ibogaine providers will take grievances seriously. Do you think patients
would be better off without being informed of their rights as patients and without
a grievance procedure?

http://www.doraweiner.org/bill_of_rights.html

In many cases from my experience in providing ibogaine therapy and in
monitoring ibogaine therapy provided by others I have recognized that all complaints
are not valid and the grievance procedure requires legal documents to allow
for the release of patient information in order to respond on behalf of the
patient. The procedure also allows for a general monitoring of the quality of
ibogaine services received by patients.

Howard

Sentinel overstated deaths caused solely by oxycodone

Posted August 1, 2004

An Orlando Sentinel series in October about the drug OxyContin used a key
statistic incorrectly and overstated the number of overdoses caused solely
by oxycodone, the active ingredient in OxyContin and other prescription
painkillers.

Citing data compiled by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the
Sentinel said oxycodone overdoses caused 573 deaths in 2001 and 2002.

However, a re-examination of FDLE data and autopsy reports showed that only
about a quarter of those deaths were caused solely by oxycodone. In roughly
three out of four cases, medical examiners concluded that at least one other
drug also contributed to the victims’ deaths.

In addition, the series created the misleading impression that most
oxycodone overdoses resulted from patients’ taking the drug to relieve pain
from medical conditions. But many of the victims were clearly drug abusers
using illegal drugs along with oxycodone.

According to the Sentinel’s re-examination, blood samples in about 38
percent of the oxycodone-related deaths showed the presence of heroin,
cocaine, methamphetamine and/or marijuana. Many other victims also had
consumed one or more commonly abused prescription drugs, such as Xanax or
Vicodin.

In February, the Sentinel published a story correcting factual errors about
two men featured in the series. The newspaper had labeled one of them, David
Rokisky, an “accidental addict” without doing background reporting that
would have shown he had a federal drug conviction. The other, the late Gerry
Cover, died from an overdose caused by a combination of drugs rather than
oxycodone alone.

The Sentinel began re-examining the data this spring after Purdue Pharma,
the manufacturer of OxyContin, questioned the paper’s methodology and
conclusions.

The reanalysis showed that oxycodone’s role in drug-abuse deaths is complex,
and that the Sentinel had characterized it inaccurately.

The records do support the series’ conclusion that oxycodone — available in
OxyContin as a long-lasting, powerful narcotic — is involved in a large
number of the state’s overdose deaths. “The [law-enforcement] folks would
tell you it really is a problem; they’re seeing a lot of oxycodone,” said
Dr. Stephen Nelson, chairman of the state’s Medical Examiners Commission.

But the reanalysis also showed that oxycodone is usually found in the
presence of other drugs.

The Sentinel’s five-day series, which ran from Oct. 19 to Oct. 23, focused
on oxycodone addiction and the painkiller OxyContin. The drug was approved
in 1995 for treatment of persistent, moderate to severe pain. Designed to
provide relief for up to 12 hours, the time-release drug also caught the
attention of drug abusers, who seek the powerful high it can produce when
crushed and snorted or dissolved in liquid.

The Sentinel’s reanalysis discovered that the annual drug reports published
by FDLE exaggerate the number of overdoses caused by a particular drug by
counting multiple times deaths involving more than one substance. For
example, someone who died from an overdose of oxycodone and cocaine is
counted as a death “caused” by oxycodone and as a death “caused” by cocaine.

State officials say these cases are more accurately described as
multiple-drug deaths. The drugs may have been present in such lethal levels
that each could have killed the person by itself. Or the victim may have
taken smaller amounts of different drugs that combined in a deadly cocktail.

In fact, the autopsies in these cases usually list the cause of death as
poly-drug intoxication, multiple-drug toxicity or combined-drug toxicity.

The Sentinel series failed to report that most overdoses involving oxycodone
fell into this category, although that information was readily available in
autopsy reports. The series also failed to adequately explain the state’s
reporting system.

The state’s annual reports counted a total of 573 deaths caused by oxycodone
in 2001 and 2002, which was the basis for the number used in the Sentinel’s
series. In its reanalysis, the Sentinel examined records for 535 of those
overdose deaths. Complete documentation wasn’t available for the others.

The causes of death in the 535 cases were verified by the autopsies or by
the medical examiners’ offices that conducted them. The results showed 396
of the cases were actually multiple-drug deaths. The remaining 139 were
caused solely by oxycodone.

Of the 535 overdose victims, 202, or about 38 percent, had illicit drugs in
their systems. The vast majority of the 333 other cases had commonly abused
but legal drugs present — most often alcohol, prescription painkillers or
anti-anxiety medications — in addition to oxycodone.

Autopsy reports do not identify the presence of OxyContin specifically
because blood tests only indicate oxycodone, which is found in more than 40
painkillers. In the newspaper’s series last year, however, additional
reporting linked 205 deaths during 2001 and 2002 directly to OxyContin.

A re-examination of 195 of those cases — complete data were not available
for the others — found that roughly two in three were actually
multiple-drug deaths. Of the 195 deaths, 134 were attributed to at least two
drugs; 61 solely to oxycodone.

In its criticism of the Sentinel’s series, Purdue Pharma cited its own study
of 1,014 deaths in 23 states in which oxycodone was found in the body. The
findings were published in 2003 in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology
after peer review.

Researchers determined that 919 of the deaths were overdoses caused by drug
abuse. The others included people who didn’t necessarily die from oxycodone,
though it was detected in their systems during autopsies. Dr. J. David
Haddox, Purdue Pharma’s vice president of health policy, said they included
people with terminal illnesses, victims of car accidents, four murder
victims and others.

When focusing on the drug abusers, Purdue concluded that 889, or 97 percent,
were multiple-drug deaths

Researchers, using criteria for overdoses set by the federal government,
deemed any case “in which there was at least one other plausible
contributory drug” to be a multiple-drug death. Only drugs that would be
unlikely contributors — such as antibiotics, birth-control pills and
acetaminophen — did not trigger the multidrug classification.

That approach is questioned by some experts.

“It’s not necessarily valid for them to say that all of these other drugs
contributed to the cause of death,” said Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein, a toxicology
professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine and director of the
Florida Poison Information Center. “Maybe they did [contribute], and maybe
they didn’t. But you can’t conclude that from the simple fact that they’re
on board.”

Florida’s medical examiners do not use the same approach that Purdue did
when classifying multiple-drug deaths. Not every case with more than one
drug is ruled a multidrug fatality. Instead, medical examiners consider the
amounts of the drugs, their synergistic effects, the deceased person’s
medical history and other factors, Nelson said. There are no uniform
criteria statewide.

“Like all of medicine, it’s very subjective based on the medical examiner’s
training and experience,” he said.

This is not a mistake. It may be repetitious because I don’t know if the
other one was properly forwarded. I hope this one gets through if the other
didn’t.

P.S. Please ignore the captions or messages under the pictures. I don’t know
how to edit these things.

The dungeon is okay with me but I forgot my whip and leather bodysuit and
spike heels!<

I got those “my brother is sick” messages (which is too bad as Tommy Goodson
always posts interesting stuff, so I hope he gets better), but the above
sounds even more interesting- got photos?
;-))
Peace and love,

Hi to everyone!
I do not think I am receiving all the messages. I have only gotten a few the
past couple of days and did not make sense to me because they were replies
to messages I didn’t originally get.
I also got a bunch of automatic responses from a Goodson fellow whose
brother is sick and not reading his mail! lol! Everyone else getting these
or have I really slipped into the Mindvox Dungeon?

Pictures help but, when I showed the Panama ibogaine treatment tape at the
NIDA 1995 Ibogaine Review Meeting, more than one voice accused me of using an
actor rather than a patient.  Even many patients think ibogaine is too dramatic
to believe.

No, It is an Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights that is in place right now
regardless of by whom or where you are treated.  Reality is defined by reality.
If you are an ibogaine patient and feel your rights are not being met then
complain to your provider and if they don’t respond file a grievance.  See the
grievance report link in http://www.doraweiner.org/bill_of_rights.html

If your provider tells you the Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights has no
standing.  Well, that is what King George initiaily thought of the Declaration of
Independence.  Not meant to reflect badly on our friends and providers in the
UK who are a pretty good bunch.

But, getting back to the Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights.  Do you think
anything should be added or have any general comments.

Callie,

I hope to be one of the living and breathing testaments of the miracle!

You already are a miracle, but you have yet to do your best work.
You are right about the red flag though, I try to avoid the use of the word hallucinogenic due to semantics.

Perhaps if more treatment providers video recorded the sessions like did in Panama, then make available on-line, eventually a huge database of video recorded sessions are available.  Still anecdotal, but can’t pictures say more then words?

I hope you have a good day.

Be Well,

Jason

Hi Friend Fakeplacebo,

Yes, I have heard of the Ottoman Empire.  Seems the British wanted to rule the world.  They got involved in The Faukland Islands, Guyna, Turkey, Austrila, India and many more places.  It used to be the sun never set on the Brisish Empire.

From what you say I would be afraid to have a joint in Turkey.  A friend of mine was in Turkey when he was in the U.S. Airforce and told me he had a taxi driver get him some weed or hash I forget which.  He said the government in MEAN, very harsh for almost everything.  Did you by any chance see a movie called Midnight Express or something like that.  It is about an American who goes to Turkey and gets caught with Hash.  He went through hell.  Then made an escape.  I was wondering if you seen it or if they may of banned it.

Thanks for the info, you learn something everyday.

Take care good buddy,

– JIM

Dear Friend Jim,

Turkey is very different then the Arabic nations. Here in Turkey laws are not preparing according to the religion. Our law system is secular, nonclerical system. System is named democratical republic on the papers. But we have democratical problems.

I don’t know have you ever heard about Ottoman Empire? Turkey is the continue of that empire. In the begining of the 20. century Ottoman Empire collapsed and after  long Turkish war of independence against England, Italy, France, Greece, USA.(This war was to turn to country a colony.) Turkey Repuplic has builted by the great historical personality around 75 years ago. He’s name is Ataturk. He is the founder of the Turkey Republic. (I proud with him)

Here in Turkey, alcohol is free.  You can buy and drink every part of the country. Legal drugs are controlling by the goverenment and you can buy them only if you have proper prescription.

You can built mushrooms because nobody knows about them and they don’t understand what it is.

Also you can buy joint, extacy, Heroin and every kind of illegal drug from the black market if you have money. But the penalities are unexpectedly heavy.

In the big cities casual life is so close to the western world. Rich quarters of the city is nearly same like ordinary europian cities but the country side is very poor and ignorant.

Here in Turkey government and the army is so strong like George Orwells book “1984” and the goverenment does not trust it’s own citizens. But by the time democratical rights are developing very very slowly.

Hi Fakeplacebo,

I been wanting to talk to you for a while but first what you said below:

****
And after that many of the kids dead or ill. When we ask them to take back that material they didn’t want to do it. They want make us store that kind of material in our country and offered money for this. Our fucking local politicians accepted this dirty bussiness and we are storing developed countries poisoned garbage
****

Your politicians are just as crooked and rotten as ours.  It’s the same hear, it doesn’t matter if asbestos kill the worker as long as they can continue to manufactor it and make money.  Money matters, not lives.

Anyway, last time your wrote in you told about how in Turkey if you are caught with marijuana or heroin they put you in a cement cell for 10 days or so and you have no civil rights.

I was wondering do they have anything you can get high on in Turkey that is legal.  Like can a person drink beer or whiskey, do you have to go to the doctor to get valium, can you grow mushrooms (magic mushrooms that get you high).  And just to double check are they add that down on marijuana.  I mean do they fine you or put you in jail or both for maybe 10 grams or so?

I don’t know many people in Turkey so I figured I could ask you.

Good Luck and be careful,

– JIM

Few years ago one USA company left secretly poisoned canserogen material to the Blacksea coast of my country. Children found that containers while they were playing. And after that many of the kids dead or ill. When we ask them to take back that material they didn’t want to do it.

Our peoples health not importand as they are. Also we are producing dirty industry of USA and europe for protect them againist pollution.

They are still selling drugs that prohibited in their countries already. I think that we are less human then they are. We are the creatures that between human and animal and we have no value.

USA spending to more than 30.000.000.000 $  each year for arming. 10.000.000.000$ is enough to solve all the world hunger problem. There is hungry babies in the rest of the world that they go to sleep hungry.

I am not Howard but I am going to respond to your question….
Anytime a person is treated by Healthcare Provider whether it is in hospital, treatment center or mental health institute you are asked to sign a bunch of papers. One of these papers is Patient Legal and Human Rights.
I feel it states that even though you are sick or s/w incapacitated you still have rights.
I know this is true in the USA but not sure if institutions outside the USA have you sign human rights.
I am sure Howard will add to or clarify this further.

Hi Julian,

Yea, you can tell them but it falls on deaf ears.  In the years to come America is going to be the new China, Russia, Cuba, Iraq, where people disappear.  No lawyer, no trial, no bail.  Then it will be the old confession and reeduaction work camps, retraining so they can become better citizens.  Much like the Vietnamese and Russian work camps. Or like 1984, they will fix you because if you don’t love in Big Brother there is something wrong with you.  A few drugs a little shock treatment and you’ll be as good as new.  Maybe you should stop in at the Ministry of Love and have a talk with them.  Maybe they can catch it before it becomes too serious.

Best to ya,

Hello Shelley. You have already contributed something to this list. I have been recieving, reading and learning from this Ibo group for about two years now and have always stayed in the shadows but today you brought me out. Thanx. I live in Vancouver, Canada and I have also taken Ibogaine for my heroin and cocaine addiction. After every visit I returned feeling alive and completely detoxified from the drugs in my body. I am used to the disbelief and blank looks on faces when I try to tell people about my experience, which is quite often. So that is one of the powers of this list. Dialogue with others who have witnessed the “awesome effectiveness of Ibogaine & its transformative value”. Also the education involved. Always new conversations and new ideas and suggestions and the combined experience of people on the list. Mmmhmm, so hello and welcome Shelley and thanx for waking me up.

I hope I’ve given you enough info about myself to give you a decent idea of who I am and what I want with Ibogaine.

I don’t know have you ever heard about Ottoman Empire? Turkey is the continue of that empire. In the begining of the 20. century Ottoman Empire collapsed and after  long Turkish war of independence against England, Italy, France, Greece, USA.(This war was to turn to country a colony.) Turkey Repuplic has builted by the great historical personality around 75 years ago. He’s name is Ataturk. He is the founder of the Turkey Republic. (I proud with him)

Here in Turkey, alcohol is free.  You can buy and drink every part of the country. Legal drugs are controlling by the goverenment and you can buy them only if you have proper prescription.

You can built mushrooms because nobody knows about them and they don’t understand what it is.

Also you can buy joint, extacy, Heroin and every kind of illegal drug from the black market if you have money. But the penalities are unexpectedly heavy.

In the big cities casual life is so close to the western world. Rich quarters of the city is nearly same like ordinary europian cities but the country side is very poor and ignorant.

Here in Turkey government and the army is so strong like George Orwells book “1984” and the goverenment does not trust it’s own citizens. But by the time democratical rights are developing very very slowly.

Hi Fakeplacebo,

I been wanting to talk to you for a while but first what you said below:

****
And after that many of the kids dead or ill. When we ask them to take back that material they didn’t want to do it. They want make us store that kind of material in our country and offered money for this. Our fucking local politicians accepted this dirty bussiness and we are storing developed countries poisoned garbage
****

Your politicians are just as crooked and rotten as ours.  It’s the same hear, it doesn’t matter if asbestos kill the worker as long as they can continue to manufactor it and make money.  Money matters, not lives.

Anyway, last time your wrote in you told about how in Turkey if you are caught with marijuana or heroin they put you in a cement cell for 10 days or so and you have no civil rights.

I was wondering do they have anything you can get high on in Turkey that is legal.  Like can a person drink beer or whiskey, do you have to go to the doctor to get valium, can you grow mushrooms (magic mushrooms that get you high).  And just to double check are they add that down on marijuana.  I mean do they fine you or put you in jail or both for maybe 10 grams or so?

I don’t know many people in Turkey so I figured I could ask you.

Good Luck and be careful,

– JIM

They are still selling drugs that prohibited in their countries already. I think that we are less human then they are. We are the creatures that between human and animal and we have no value.

USA spending to more than 30.000.000.000 $  each year for arming. 10.000.000.000$ is enough to solve all the world hunger problem. There is hungry babies in the rest of the world that they go to sleep hungry.

When there is a Patients bill of rights, does that count for kids too ?If it
does then that means that Bush can’t push his pills on people’s kids.
What makes us a mental case ?  are we exposed to Media thoughts control?
First get the people to be paranoid and then  get them to be diagnose for
mental illness.  evil can be very clever. And when the President is paranoid
that  is a  good reason for everyone to be paranoid, medication helps,(he is

Why don’t you try it too? It may help you to show a happy face too, deal

Dear List,

In keeping with expanding access to ibogaine therapy and patient rights that

are normal to medicine I would appreciate your comments on the Ibogaine
Patients’ Bill of Rights.

http://www.doraweiner.org/bill_of_rights.html

Patients’ Bills of Rights may be legislated or provided by patient
organizations.  In some cases they are the work of health care providers or
insurance
companies.  The Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights is principally taken from
the
New York State Patients Bill of Rights and the Patients’ Bill of Rights of
the
American Cancer Society.

Your comments are appreciated.

Hey Callie. I am a pessimist and very cynical. Knowing people as I do and being a good student of history, I can assure you there is only one path that this can lead to. The category you are assigned to will determine your place in society and the manner in which you are treated. If you are branded with some mental health diagnosis that is negative, the end result will be isolation from those that are not like you and treatment to change you. Possibly, if we get really paranoid about terrorism and inner enemies, EXECUTION (extermination) or more politely-ethnic cleansing, cultural cleansing or genetic cleansing, you pick the best sounding semantic process of elimination, will be the only real result of categorizing.

Sorry,

Good Morning Meredith. My name is Julian and I don’t know enough about Ibogaine to teach you anything. There are several others far more qualified here than I, but I can tell you a little about me and why I’m interested in Iboga/Ibogaine. I am 49 years old and have been into getting high since 10 years of age. From the age of 15-28 I found my one and only true love-smack. Towards the end of that 13 year period I added coke to the mixture and lived on speedballs. At 28 I went on Methadone and have been on ever since. I had no desire to get off the meth or even change my at all until october,last year. I had a serious motorcycle accident and have been in serious pain ever since. Due to the effects of the meth it was very hard to find any relief  from the pain and of course I experienced the typical bias from the healthfield that I’m just another junkie looking for a legal fix. I figured it was time for some real spiritual and psychological exploration to see if I want to and able to change my attitude about chemicals in general. Regardless of my negative experiences, I am still in love with getting high, though I don’t do it very much anymore. I believe Iboga/Ibogaine can provide me with the insight I am seeking and the bio-chemical changes I need to detox from meth if I decide to do that. I hope I’ve given you enough info about myself to give you a decent idea of who I am and what I want with Ibogaine.

By the way, welcome to this site.

Julian

ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS

There has been vigorous recent discussion on this subject:

Jack R. Lebowitz’ quotation of  the Gandhi aphorism: “First they ignore
you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” is
indeed apposite., as are Carl Olsen’s listing of Iowa’s increasing
penalties, when we compare them with their effectiveness.

Recent Bureau of Justice figures have shown that USA now has just over 2
million incarcerated, and 7million either incarcerated, on probation or
parole.

Surely those statistics provide grounds for various lines of debate with
which to engage the US public?

Example 1:

USA with 2 million prisoners is incarcerating almost 700 per 100,000 of
population.

This compares with approximately 1/7 of that rate in the rest of the
developed world, and it cannot be shown that USA is safer than the rest
of the world as a result.

Example 2:

It can be shown that the increase in incarceration rates experienced in
USA is mainly due to illicit drug related offences, yet it cannot be
shown that USA is using illicit drugs at a lower rate than the rest of
the developed world.

Example 3:

Differences in statistical detail and method make it difficult to
compare jurisdictions, yet 23 States of USA did use common detail and
method for a brief period 1991-93.

See www.peterwatney.com/incrate2.htm
and the associated chart www.peterwatney.com/uschart2.htm

Incarceration rates and illicit drug use rates had a positive relation,
so, increased severity of punishment does not appear to decrease drug
use.

Example 4.

No state can afford every aspiration, however wealthy, so every choice
has an opportunity cost.

Compare the incarceration rates of all US States, the cost per
individual of the prison budget, and the cost per individual of the
education budget.

Compare the number of new prisons built with the number of new primary,
secondary and tertiary institutions built over the past x years.

Example 5.

I have been unable to find any report from any prison in the world of a
replicable method of excluding illicit drugs from its walls.

It does seem crazy to lock drug offenders away in institutions where
they do obtain and use drugs under even less safe conditions than are
average outside prisons, and then to free them to a society put to
increased risk of the blood-borne diseases contracted whilst
incarcerated.

Example 6.

Compare State budget deficit/surplus with State incarceration rates.

Hi Jim,

Thanks ,I know what you are saying, I agree with you that Bush need some exorcists working for him . The pressure cocker can have that much pressure until it will explode.
And when it will explode is just a matter for time, then I think that the fear for death will unite the people and the commonsense.
It is good that power doesn’t last but commonsense does, so people start to understand what evil does and if they take it , that’s the pressure in the cocker.

All the best,

Onderwerp: RE: [ibogaine] New ment fresh Bush Tester

Hi Sara,

Hi Sara,

I think you are a GREAT person, honest I do.  However, I don’t think you understand how America operates all that well.  And please do not take offence to that.

We have so much milk (from cows) in America that the goverment gives the milk farmers subsidies or price supports which says if the price of milk falls low we will give you money.  There is no milk shortage in America.  However, some farmers give their cows Bovine Growth Hormones that make them give more milk.  People drink these hormones via the milk.  Children sometimes start their puberty at an early age.  It is called greed.

Very few people will deal with a medical problem holistically.  We are used to taking pills.  For example if a person is lactic intolerant and can not drink milk without becoming sick, the answer for Americans is to buy pills at the store to help them digest the lactic acid in milk rather than change their diet.  The American diet is one of the worst in the world.  Another thing few people know it that companies put chemicals (some are called natural flavrings) MSG for instance, that act as triggers on the brain.  These chemicals tell the brain that you not full, your still hungry and people over eat. Another example of greed.

Many candies that kids like are loaded with sugar which is not all that good for you.  The average American consumes almost 1/2 pound of sugar a day.  Worse than that they put dyes (for coloring) like red dye # 40 or yellow dye # 3 or whatever in candy and other food products.  If the dye causes problems  they take them to the doctor and find some kind of pill to give them.  These dyes are know to cause hyperactivity in kids.  However, there is hardly a way to escape them, they are in everything.  If you want pure food in America you have to go to an organic store to buy them.  And many of them are the same as the supermarket and they only call them organic to raise the price.  Take pisastcho nuts, why put red dye on them?

Most doctors know VERY little about nutrition, it is barely covered in medical school.  Americans rarely eat a well balanced meal and seldom eat fruits and vegetables.  Also, the AMA (American Medical Association) wants to have M.D. (medical doctors) and a few D.O. (Doctors of Osteopath).  The very last thing they want is another branch of medicine.

Rather than have fresh food, meat, bread, fruit or whatever they add preservatives to make the food last longer.  I was working at a factory where they had food machines and was talking to the guy who serviced them and he said he loved the sausuage patties because he could leave them in the machine for over a month.

The average head of lettuce gets sprayed eight times with insecticide.  This builds up in a persons system.

It would take hours to take kids who who live in the city to the country to have school in a tree house.

Years ago a company which manufactored asbestos learned that it caused DEADLY lung problems.  However, they hushed this up so as to keep on selling their product and making money.  Then when people started dying 20 years later they go out of business and the government sometimes picks up the cost.  Or the person just dies and the family does the best they can.

Cigarette companies knew back in the 1950’s that smoking cigarettes caused cancer and were addictive.  They said nothing and keep on selling their product.

I could go on and write a book but I am sure you get the picture.  One thing I will mention to you and of course it is only my opinion.  Our president, George W. Bush, is one of the worse men to ever hold the office of president.  Of all the presidents he is the only one I would call EVIL.  Some were good, some bad, some somewhere inbetween, but this man is EVIL.

Big business runs America, they decide who will run.  They give money to both political parties and whichever one is elected president takes orders from big business.  You can not be a senator or rep or president if you do not have the backing of big business.

Look at it like this Sara.  A guy goes to the doctor with a sore foot and tells him my foot hurts VERY bad.  The doctor gives him a Rx for Tylenol with codiene and runs off to the next patient.  He doesn’t take the time to look at the mans shoes and say “Hey, you wearing them two sizes too small, that’s why you foot hurts.  Sometime when you go to the doctor you get 5 minutes to tell him what is wrong with you.  I happen to have a great doctor who ask questions and encourages me to ask questions too.  Some doctors will work with you and others think they are God and know what’s best for you.  They will give you pills that do not agree with you and say your stomach is just upset, it has nothing to do with the pills I gave you.  Or your diarrhea is caused by something you ate not by the pills I gave to you.

Also it cost a LOT of money to see a doctor.  I can guarantee insurance companies do not want to have other kinds of medicine and doctors to deal with.  For example, those who practice accupunture, holistic doctors, chiropractors, massage therapy and such will not be welcomed in America nor would the insurance want to cover the costs.  I could go on but this really  is a long letter but if you doubt what I say ask a few of the Americans  that you meet and see if they agree.  Never take the word of just one person.

One more thing, before the elections the news media and those who advise people what stock to buy said if bush wins, drug companies stock would go up and so would oil.  Bush backs the drug companies and oil companies.  It can get complicated like tax cuts and double talk like new oil and old oil back in about 1975 when Jimmie Carter was president.  Now we have another election coming up in about 100 days but nothing really is going to change.  Big business runs the country, not the people.  And it is sad too because America was one of the greatest countries on earth for over 100 years.  People came from all over to live here and still do.  However, nothing last forever.  I am greatful that I was born here but I can see that America is losing it’s greatness and the reason is greed.

Hi,

Look at it like this, they test everyone, even thou it cost much money.  Then let’s say 3 million kids need SSRI type drugs.  So you have 3 millinon kids taking pills that cost maybe $ 3 each.  That is $9 Million a day for the drug companies and since many of the kids will be poor and underprivileged they get some kind of goverment program to pay for it.  So the drug companies get $9 million a day and help the poor people at the same time.  Now tell me the government doesn’t love you.  Do you think they would do it just to make money?  Sounds like paranoia to me, but that’s ok, paranoia drugs are $5 each, you’ll sleep like a baby and cause no trouble.

I think you are a GREAT person, honest I do.  However, I don’t think you understand how America operates all that well.  And please do not take offence to that.

We have so much milk (from cows) in America that the goverment gives the milk farmers subsidies or price supports which says if the price of milk falls low we will give you money.  There is no milk shortage in America.  However, some farmers give their cows Bovine Growth Hormones that make them give more milk.  People drink these hormones via the milk.  Children sometimes start their puberty at an early age.  It is called greed.

Very few people will deal with a medical problem holistically.  We are used to taking pills.  For example if a person is lactic intolerant and can not drink milk without becoming sick, the answer for Americans is to buy pills at the store to help them digest the lactic acid in milk rather than change their diet.  The American diet is one of the worst in the world.  Another thing few people know it that companies put chemicals (some are called natural flavrings) MSG for instance, that act as triggers on the brain.  These chemicals tell the brain that you not full, your still hungry and people over eat. Another example of greed.

Many candies that kids like are loaded with sugar which is not all that good for you.  The average American consumes almost 1/2 pound of sugar a day.  Worse than that they put dyes (for coloring) like red dye # 40 or yellow dye # 3 or whatever in candy and other food products.  If the dye causes problems  they take them to the doctor and find some kind of pill to give them.  These dyes are know to cause hyperactivity in kids.  However, there is hardly a way to escape them, they are in everything.  If you want pure food in America you have to go to an organic store to buy them.  And many of them are the same as the supermarket and only call them organic and raise the price.

Most doctors know VERY little about nutrition, it is barely covered in med school.  Americans rarely eat a well balanced meal and seldom eat fruits and vegetables.  Also, the AMA (American Medical Association) wants to have M.D. (medical doctors) and a few D.O. (Doctors of Osteopath).  The very last thing they want is another branch of medicine.

Rather than have fresh food, meat, bread, fruit or whatever they add preservatives to make the food last longer.  I was working at a factory where they had food machines and was talking to the guy who serviced them and he said he loved the sausuage patties because he could leave them in the machine for over a month.

The average head of lettuce get sprayed eight times with insecticide.  This builds up in a persons system.

It would take hours to take kids who who live in the city to the country to have school in a tree house.

Years ago a company which manufactored asbestos learned that it caused DEADLY lung problems.  However, they hushed this up so to keep on selling their product and making money.  Then when people started dying 20 years later they go out of business and the government sometimes picks up the cost.  Or the person just dies and the family does the best they can.

Cigarette companies knew back in the 1950’s that smoking cigarettes caused cancer and were addictive.  They said nothing and keep on selling their product.

I could go on and write a book but I am sure you get the picture.  One thing I will mention to you and of course it is only my opinion.  Our president, George W. Bush, is one of the worse men to ever hold the office of president.  Of them all he is the only one I would call EVIL.  Some were good, some bad, some somewhere inbetween, but this man is EVIL.

Big business runs America, they decide who will run.  They give money to both political parties and whichever one is elected president takes orders from big business.  You can not be a senator or rep if you do not have the backing of big business.

I can’t beleive (oh wait, yes I can) that TV ‘news’ has ignored yet another vital story.  I had no idea that the whole manditory mental health testing thing is actually aready going through in someplace in ILL., So Bush would just be taking a ‘working program’ to a national level, which isn’t so bad right?
I’m just so amazed that they can sell the idea without even really hiding the corporate interests of it, what concerns me more then that they are doing it is that they don’t even feel like they should have to hide that it’s all about profits regardless if good or bad long term.  I had similar thoughts when I was in jail, they don’t even PRETEND like they are there to make people productive members of society again or to rehabilitate in any way (someone put in jail for hot checks isn’t given time/guidence/pointers on how to keep checkbook balenced),  they don’t even pretent like it’s not just about the money.  They don’t even pretend.  The guards talk fairly openly about that.!   They make a set amount of money for each head, not to mention they have the people do everything (trusteeLabor) except guard the inmates.  Prison and War are good business.  And ! I guess, “mental health” is too.

I have not worked a lot of psych but the work I have done exposed me to many Doctors with many ideas and concepts of diagnosing and treating mental illness.
There are some extreme cases of psychosis that must be treated vigorously but there are also neurosis and other less severe psychosis whose treatments vary with each individual Doc and patient.
I am curious to see what they plan to do when they decide you have a mental illness? Will you be branded or tattooed so that everyone will know at a glance who is sane and who is not (by government definition). Or, will you be required to be medicated and be able to prove you are indeed following ‘their’ outlined treatment?
This shit really worries me! I just don’t think they will test you and then not follow through if the results are off the graph.
I for one am very happy that, “Help Is On The Way”  lol!

Dear List,

In keeping with expanding access to ibogaine therapy and patient rights that
are normal to medicine I would appreciate your comments on the Ibogaine
Patients’ Bill of Rights.

http://www.doraweiner.org/bill_of_rights.html

Patients’ Bills of Rights may be legislated or provided by patient
organizations.  In some cases they are the work of health care providers or insurance
companies.  The Ibogaine Patients’ Bill of Rights is principally taken from the
New York State Patients Bill of Rights and the Patients’ Bill of Rights of the
American Cancer Society.

Your comments are appreciated.

Look at it like this, they test everyone, even thou it cost much money.  Then let’s say 3 million kids need SSRI type drugs.  So you have 3 millinon kids taking pills that cost maybe $ 3 each.  That is $9 Million a day for the drug companies and since many of the kids will be poor and underprivileged they get some kind of goverment program to pay for it.  So the drug companies get $9 million a day and help the poor people at the same time.  Now tell me the government doesn’t love you.  Do you think they would do it just to make money?  Sounds like paranoia to me, but that’s ok, paranoia drugs are $5 each, you’ll sleep like a baby and cause no trouble.

Have to say I’m still thinking along the same lines as Jim here. And to be
very honest, I’m a little surprised at how many people on both this list and
the DrugWar list are supporting the same new boss again this time around,
without hesitation, because, well, this same new boss is “better” than Bush-
LOL!
(That’s an extremely sad LOL.)
Seriously, how many times are we going to simply roll over and choose the
“lesser” (uhhh, we hope anyway) of two evil guys? Does anyone really believe
that Kerry is going to somehow turn things around and make us all safe and
secure in our homes and bodies from invasion from the forces of evil- the
prohibitionists, of all stripes?
I can’t see it, though I’m wishing with all my heart I could.
See:

NARC PARTY
This is your convention on drugs.

By Matt Taibbi
Remember Super Tuesday? John Kerry was in Washington that day, in a dark,
depressing shopping mall called the Old Post Office Pavilion. Flanked by his
family and about 1200 Washington insiders who had arrived early to formally
kiss his ass, Kerry, mouth all Chiclets, gave a smug acceptance speech and
gleefully cracked the proverbial champagne magnum on the S.S. Foregone
Conclusion, which comes into port in Boston this week.
I was about 15 yards from Kerry during his Super Tuesday speech, just to his
left, in the press section. I was at the stage of my campaign-trail work
where I was actually pretending, in public, to “cover” the campaign so that
the other reporters would not catch on to what was going on in my mind.
After about three weeks on the bus with Kerry, I was in a state of almost
complete mental paralysis. It was almost like a state of amnesia, or the
annihilating early onset of schizophrenic illness, brought on by some deeply
traumatic experience-like watching your father butcher your mother to death,
or catching your wife screaming with pleasure in bed with Hitler.
To this day I can’t describe what brought it on, although I’m sure it had
something to do with the campaign. I only remember that I was at Kerry’s
Super Tuesday speech in body only. On the outside I was just trying to get
through the motions, while inside I struggled to put the pieces back
together. As Kerry began his speech, I stared at the podium with blank eyes.
And just then, someone behind me to my left tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned around. A short, bald man with maniacal eyes extended his hand,
breathing loudly through his mouth.
“Isn’t this great?” he said.
“I guess,” I said.
“Bob Weiner,” he said.
I shook his hand. “Matt Taibbi,” I replied.
He smiled proudly. “I’m with the Office of National Drug Control Policy,” he
said. “Well, I used to be, anyway. Used to be the Communications Director. I
worked with Barry McCaffrey!”
“Oh,” I said, recoiling a little. “No shit.”
“Yeah, no shit!” he said. “What do you do, Matt?”
“I’m working for Rolling Stone.”
“Oh,” he said. “Good magazine. We did some things with you folks a couple of
years ago.”
In the state I was in, it suddenly seemed entirely possible that the
ostensibly countercultural Rolling Stone was in some kind of cooperative,
collusive arrangement with the White House Drug Czar. It later turned out
that Weiner was referring to some RS pro-legalization article that he had
provided dissenting quotes for. But at the time I didn’t know this, and the
Orwellian realization that I myself might be indirectly working with the
drug- enforcement apparatus just bounced harmlessly off my flatlined psyche.
“Gosh,” I said, “that’s nice. The thing is, Bob, I’m not feeling too well
right now…”
“Yeah, it’s a good magazine, despite it all,” he said, ignoring me. Then he
waved his hand in the direction of the podium. “But you know what’s great
about this?”
“No,” I said honestly. “What?”
“We’re going to have a president with sense again,” he said. “This current
guy is a disaster. Right now, all domestic law enforcement goes through
Ashcroft and Ridge. It’s all about terrorism now. I mean, the War on Drugs
isn’t even a priority!”
“Wow,” I said, “that’s just self-defeating.”
“Thank God for Kerry,” he said. “It’s going to be like the old days again.”
Like the old days again. For all those people who are going to turn on the
tv this week and imagine that what they’re seeing at the convention is
nothing more than the Democratic Party’s current stated platform-“Harmless
Bullshit for America”-I urge them to consider a few things about the Kerry
campaign. It has a few features that have been commented on very little in
public. For one, it’s crawling with narcs.
There is a fiction being perpetuated in the media that the Democratic Party
is “more united than ever,” that “the whole party has been energized” by the
mission of defeating George Bush. (I think the reality is that the would-be
dissenters are simply too depressed to argue.) A corollary to this
assumption is the alleged reason for this unity, which is that, apart from
Iraq, there were virtually no differences between any of the candidates who
ran for the nomination in the last year.
I started to notice this in the press after Iowa. A typical example is this
line from a piece by Walter Shapiro of USA Today: “Things might have been
different for Kerry if the Democratic Party was riven by major ideological
cleavages,” he wrote. “But once the war in Iraq receded as a litmus-test
issue for Democratic voters, the relatively minor differences among the
candidates on domestic policy were not enough to sway the outcome.”
Really? Howard Dean told me in the plainest language possible that he did
not think that nonviolent drug offenders should go to jail. “I mean, if
you’re selling heroin in a school zone, that’s maybe something you should go
to jail for, but otherwise, it’s a medical issue,” he said.
Dean explained to me that since most drug laws were state laws, his likely
strategy as president for clearing the prisons would be to provide block
grants to states that develop alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent
drug offenders.
What kind of people were you likely to find on the Dean plane? A lot of
ex-Clinton types, true, but also people like Kurt Schmoke, the former Yale
classmate of Dean’s and mayor of Baltimore, who once called the Drug War
“our domestic Vietnam” and was the first major politician in the country to
advocate the decriminalization of drugs.
Who would you find hanging around the Kerry campaign? Forget about people
like Weiner, who just showed up uninvited. One of the constants of the Kerry
plane was a guy named David Morehouse, who is a senior political advisor to
Kerry. Morehouse, like Weiner, is a former ONDCP heavy. He was once the
number-two man in the agency behind Barry McCaffrey. Just a few days after
Super Tuesday, he explained to me with pride that he had been involved with
the planning of many of the ONDCP’s most celebrated p.r. campaigns.
“Like the fried-egg thing?” I said.
“Well, yes, the fried-egg thing, and some others,” he said.
Morehouse said he left the ONDCP before the plan to plant hidden anti-drug
messages in the scripts of tv shows like Friends and E.R. went into action,
but admitted he had been there during the planning of these programs.
These are the kinds of people Kerry hangs out with: the fried-egg guy.
And how about Kerry’s likely replacement for Tom Ridge? Rand Beers, Kerry’s
Homeland Security advisor, is one of the most zealous and remorseless narcs
in American history. As undersecretary of state for international drug
enforcement under Clinton, Beers signed off on a defoliating program in
South America in which a substance similar to Agent Orange was sprayed over
would-be coca fields along the Colombian-Ecuadorian border. When an
environmental group filed suit on behalf of Ecuadorian peasants who
claimed-with the support of the Red Cross-that the sprays had caused the
destruction of all crops as well as severe birth defects in humans and
livestock, Beers responded by insinuating that the plaintiffs had ties to al
Qaeda through the Colombian FARC rebels.
But heck, at least he’s not George Bush. Right? Isn’t that what we’re
supposed to be thinking this week? o


Peace,
Preston

Hi Callie,

Did you know that Bush and Kerry are something like 3rd cousins.  I may be
wrong but that is what I heard.  They both attended Yale and are both Skull
and Bonesman.

As “The Who” would say: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, damn it we
got fooled again.”  Nothing’s gonna change.  There will be no Vietnam type
protest.  You will hovever be able to write to your senator or rep. and
express your opinion and get a form letter thanking you for writing.  They
had the people protesting Kerry in a cage.  Nope, the people will never get
together and make policy like in the Vietnam days.  Big Brother learned a
valuable lesson – COMPLETE  CONTROL,  NIP IT IN THE BUD, PUT THEM IN JAIL OR
THE FUNNY FARM, MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THEM, BEAT THEM WITH THE NIGHT
STICKS, USE MORE MACE, ETC ETC.

Your head and heart are in the right place,

NIDA Notes – Volume 19, Number 2 (July 2004)
New Index Measures Self-Control, Predicts Drug Abuse Vulnerability in
Adolescent Boys

By Marion Torchia, NIDA NOTES Contributing Writer

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Education and
Drug
Abuse Research have identified a set of characteristics that appears to
predict a boy’s vulnerability to substance use disorder (SUD) in young
adulthood. Once validated for use with the general population, this new
construct, “neurobehavioral disinhibition,” may help clinicians tailor
drug
abuse prevention programs for children most in need of support.

CHILDREN TO GET JABS AGAINST DRUG ADDICTION

Ministers Consider Vaccination Scheme. Heroin, Cocaine and Nicotine
Targeted

A radical scheme to vaccinate children against future drug addiction is
being considered by ministers, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.

Under the plans, doctors would immunise children at risk of becoming
smokers or drug users with an injection. The scheme could operate in a
similar way to the current nationwide measles, mumps and rubella
vaccination programme.

…Are you aloud to1. have a “second opinion” if you disagree with the diagnosis 2. deal with the symptoms holistically?
In other word, who is going to tell ?
Just Imagine that you are diagnosed as hyper active kid? How hyper is acceptable of a kid? What if they need to have a new schooling systems in the forest where kids
Can sit in their tree houses and sing songs and play Tarzan , instead of a building type of school.
Maybe the grownups have to accept that kids need to be kids and not be an fake imitation of the grownups, “sit down, shut up and eat” type of life style.
just start thinking what is good for them and not let the government to take over your privacy and need to have your own judgment on your kids well being.
I can see that any  diagnosis can be worked out also for the well being of kids, in an abusive society. Let go of the medication. Don’t let anyone scam you or your kids
You must have the knowledge about each step of the therapy and the right to look for your therapist.
My kid is dyslexic and I like the fact that she is getting an individual reading lessons at school where she leaning in an different way then most kids.
Sometime it is just a matter of changing diet and there is no need for medications, that information sometime\sometime not(if wrong diagnosis) can help a parent become aware of the condition of their kid.

The Duty of Patriots (a Manifesto.)

Once upon a time, in a remote part of the world colonized predominantly by Britannia, a group of men gathered, drawn by the belief that no distant capricious government should be allowed to force their will on the lives of others. Indeed, so passionately did they believe in the right to self-determination that they were prepared to kill for it…if necessary, to die for it. Gathered together, this Congress of representatives from thirteen colonies declared war on their oppressors with a document that would shake the world: The Declaration of Independence. Drafted as a challenge to a king, its opening sentence would become a challenge to all of humanity:
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
This was the true heart and soul of that fragile, improbable little nation, being brought into the world with no certainty that it would live out the year. Even the Bill of Rights of the Constitution is largely just a reiteration of this one principle: If all men are equal, then no man has the right to silence somebody else’s opinion. If all men are equal, then nobody has the right to dictate religious beliefs to anybody else. If we have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then we must not be deprived of any of these things lightly or unfairly; in the end, the mandate of the court system is as simple and as staggering as the principle that all are equal before the law, from the humblest to the mightiest.
What do these words have to do with America today? Everything…and not enough. Even during America’s infancy, these noble words were not dutifully practiced. Women were treated as property. Black people were literally property. The rich preyed on the poor and the government did not hear their cries. The Protestants persecuted the Catholics, and just about everyone persecuted the Jews. In turns, a nation that should have been one of the best acted as one of the worst, trading in human lives, hating in turns the Irish, the Chinese, the Mexicans, and anybody and anything that wasn’t sufficiently white and Christian.
Yet the words endured. They burned in the minds of The People, mocking them for their sins, demanding a higher standard than they practiced. In time, in shame, in fear, and eventually in hope, the darkness was driven back. The slaves were freed. Women were recognized as the equals of men. Murderous racism, once intrinsic to our society, was driven into the shadows by the growing American conscience to the point where today even in the deepest South a KKK parade looks more like the world’s smallest freak show than a community affair. Where once it was assumed that the government belonged to the Protestants, the wall of separation between church and state promised by those words grew until it reached its current zenith in the principle that government shall neither aid nor persecute religions of any form. Where once gays could expect to be attacked, even killed if discovered, homophobia is now as foreign to most young people as slavery.
And slowly…a nation repented. A heroic ideal crawling from the stinking sludge of its own birth, we went in search of that great soul promised to us by those words. We admitted our sins and begged forgiveness of our gods, our victims…and of ourselves.
Still, we are far from perfect. The ghosts of old ignorance and hatreds do not easily release their grasp on this world. Even now, that high ideal that all people are equal has its mortal enemies in America; those who would set themselves up in judgment of others, elevating and striking down men based on nothing more than how fervently they pay homage to the bigotry of those in power.
This, then, is the duty of a Patriot: Not to defend the leaders or laws of this nation, but to zealously defend and advance its highest ideals; the belief that the twin gods of justice and freedom must never be undermined by the desires of small and evil men. The righteous do not play games with the lives of their fellow man. If they harm others, we will stop them. If they are not harming anybody else, we have no right to interfere. The will of a popular movement must never be given priority over the rights of the unpopular; Democracy was never meant to be mob rule.
So much progress has been made. Freedom and equality before the law will not and must not perish from the earth. And so, I will defend them, as I am a Patriot. The weak shall not be oppressed. The mighty shall not escape justice if they offend against it. The truth must be defended, just as America must be defended from those Traitors who would in malice and ignorance deprive their fellow man of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.   We will fulfil the promise of America, and claim that greatness of spirit that is our birthright.

Hi,

Look at it like this, they test everyone, even thou it cost much money.  Then let’s say 3 million kids need SSRI type drugs.  So you have 3 millinon kids taking pills that cost maybe $ 3 each.  That is $9 Million a day for the drug companies and since many of the kids will be poor and underprivileged they get some kind of goverment program to pay for it.  So the drug companies get $9 million a day and help the poor people at the same time.  Now tell me the government doesn’t love you.  Do you think they would do it just to make money?  Sounds like paranoia to me, but that’s ok, paranoia drugs are $5 each, you’ll sleep like a baby and cause no trouble.

I can’t beleive (oh wait, yes I can) that TV ‘news’ has ignored yet another vital story.  I had no idea that the whole manditory mental health testing thing is actually aready going through in someplace in ILL., So Bush would just be taking a ‘working program’ to a national level, which isn’t so bad right?
I’m just so amazed that they can sell the idea without even really hiding the corporate interests of it, what concerns me more then that they are doing it is that they don’t even feel like they should have to hide that it’s all about profits regardless if good or bad long term.  I had similar thoughts when I was in jail, they don’t even PRETEND like they are there to make people productive members of society again or to rehabilitate in any way (someone put in jail for hot checks isn’t given time/guidence/pointers on how to keep checkbook balenced),  they don’t even pretent like it’s not just about the money.  They don’t even pretend.  The guards talk fairly openly about that.  They make a set amount of money for each head, not to mention they have the people do everything (trusteeLabor) except guard the inmates.  Prison and War are good business.  And I guess, “mental health” is too.

Hi Callie,

Did you know that Bush and Kerry are something like 3rd cousins.  I may be wrong but that is what I heard.  They both attended Yale and are both Skull and Bonesman.

As “The Who” would say: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, damn it we got fooled again.”  Nothing’s gonna change.  There will be no Vietnam type protest.  You will hovever be able to write to your senator or rep. and express your opinion and get a form letter thanking you for writing.  They had the people protesting Kerry in a cage.  Nope, the people will never get together and make policy like in the Vietnam days.  Big Brother learned a valuable lesson – COMPLETE  CONTROL,  NIP IT IN THE BUD, PUT THEM IN JAIL OR THE FUNNY FARM, MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THEM, BEAT THEM WITH THE NIGHT STICKS, USE MORE MACE, ETC ETC.

Your head and heart are in the right place,

You can often buy pre-rolled joints for 5 guilders, and individual packets
of both hash and pot for anywhere from 2 or 3 guilders (for very dry hash)
to 15 to 20 guilders for really high potency pot. (These are early 1990s
prices come to think of it so things might have changed a little.) No
sampling before you buy, but on the other hand there’s always someone
smoking in the coffeeshop and you can often smoke some of theirs to sample
something or other. Usually the coffeeshop will have real menus, or a
notebook like a stamp collector’s notebook full of weed/hash in each pocket
on page after page.
It’s like heaven there.

On another front, I’ve gotten one key reporter covering the current
crystal meth epidemic in the gay community and the renewed spread of
AIDS interested to the point that personal testimonials of long-term
efficacy from people like DH might convince him. He’s confused by the
implication on the OASAS website that the ibogaine effect only lasts
for a couple of months.

He doesn’t understand getting unsprung. But he WAS in ACT UP with me,
and I’ve convinced him that the route to getting support and the kind
of sponsorship where Glick et al would actually participate in a
forum lay through the AIDS activist sector, not the drug
reformers–i.e, that Glick wouldn’t show up for something sponsored
principally by Ethan Nadelman, let alone me or Howard.

If we can get this guy and his paper, GAY CITY NEWS, to run an
article questioning why HIV FORUM isn’t doing a session on
experimental medications, it would help both with the NY State
Assembly bill, and with certain Congressmen.

All his press conferences are scripted, and when he has to field a

then again, we are the choir. It just shows to go you how asleep at the

such as this… completely oblivious and ignorant of what is really
going on in Washington… as long as their TV is tuned in to FOX, gas

I thought that the FDA approved the research but funding was the issue.
Is that not right? And correct me if I’m wrong but I beleive the last time I
checked the most USgovenrment funded “anti-addiction” studies were involved
in variations of methadone.  So no government or private funds even though
FDA approved.  Then St.Kitts opened and Mr. Glick is hopefully too busy with

thinks things should move forward quicker with it will make a pepsi to it
and it will go from there.  But it interesting to compair them to extract

I really think Howard should contact Howard Stern.

MMHS, University of Miami, School of Medicine, Coral Gables, FL 33124.
Despite advances in the development of medications to treat addictive
disorders, they are underutilized in community-based drug treatment
programs.
To
discover how the treatment community feels about using medication to
treat
heroin
dependency, Brandeis and Oregon Health Sciences University surveyed
clients
and counselors in residential, outpatient and methadone programs in
Massachusetts and Oregon. Using the Azjen-Fishbein Theory of Reasoned
Action
as a
theoretical framework, focus groups were used to develop a questionnaire
which
was
subsequently pilot-tested with 83 clients and 61 staff members.
Questions
focused
on four medications (Methadone, Clonidine, Buprenorphine and Ibogaine).
T-tests, Anovas and multiple regression analyses were used to identify
normative
influences, beliefs, expectancies, treatment settings and personal
characteristics that predicted favorable or unfavorable attitudes.
Although
staff had
become more accepting toward medication due to the increasing prevalence
of
dual
diagnosis, the effectiveness of many medications and the spread of HIV,
most
clients felt that medication interfered with recovery and should only be
used
for
withdrawal. Methadone was viewed more positively than any of the drugs,
although many were guardedly optimistic about Buprenorphine’s potential.
Clonidine
was perceived as ineffective in the treatment of heroin dependence.
Counselors
were more receptive to all drugs than clients. Resistance to the use of
pharmacotherapy was particularly pronounced among the former heroin
users in
residential programs. A larger survey is underway with 1080 clients and
360
counselors. Results will be used to inform policy and practice regarding
the
successful adoption and implementation of effective new practices.
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe at least four major medications that
have
been developed to treat heroin dependency 2. Discuss historical barriers
to
adopting and implementing new pharmacotherapies in drug abuse treatment
programs
3. Identify the social norms, expectancies, beliefs, and values that are
associated with favorable and unfavorable attitudes toward medication 3.
Recognize
why developing and testing new medications are important for HIV
prevention

While recent years have witnessed a 25% increase in the use of
complementary
and alternative medications, none of these have come into widespread use
in
the treatment of opiate dependence. Ibogaine, an hallucinogenic
substance from
the bark of the Iboga tree in Gabon, has enjoyed a cult following in
Europe
and
Africa for some time. Enthusiasts claim that after ingesting Ibogaine
once,
their desire for heroin is gone forever. The drug has not been approved
by the
FDA for use in the United States since animal studies in this country
have not
been conclusive. To discover whether the treatment community would
approve of
using Ibogaine treat heroin dependency, Brandeis and Oregon Health &
Sciences
University surveyed 1,461 clients and counselors in residential,
outpatient
and methadone programs in Massachusetts and Oregon. Using the
Azjen-Fishbein
Theory of Reasoned Action as a theoretical framework, the 8 page
questionnaire
focused on four medications that are used to treat heroin addiction:
Ibogaine,
Buprenorphine, Methadone and Clonidine. Multiple regression analysis was
used
to identify demographic characteristics, normative influences and
attitudinal
factors that were associated with intentions to take Ibogaine. Although
10% of
clients and counselors had heard of Ibogaine, none of them had ever used
this
medication. A substantial minority of 12%, or 161 people, however,
claimed
that they would use Ibogaine if they had the opportunity. Males, clients
(as
opposed to counselors), individuals in outpatient clinics, blacks
respondents
and
respondents with less education were more likely to say that they
intended to
use Ibogaine.
Learning Objectives:

After attending this session, the audience should be able to (* identify
the
benefits and drawbacks of Ibogaine, a herbal medication for drug
addiction; (
*   describe why treatment programs may be more receptive to herbal
medications than to conventional pharmaceuticals; (
*   discuss whether or not Ibogaine should be approved for use in the
U.S.

Just think of all the IMPORTANT things that need attention from the FDA
that
are ignored – money, time, etc. ……in order to pursue this senseless

harmful
activity.

I’m angry and disgusted and worried about a government that controls too
many parts of our life that has no better ability to make intelligent

MARIJUANA RESEARCH LAWSUITS TO BE FILED

Author:  Holly Angelo; Published:  Thursday, July 22, 2004

Copyright:  2004 The Republican (Springfield, MA)

Website: http://www.masslive.com/republican/  Amherst —

All Lyle E. Craker wants to do is grow marijuana in his lab at the

University of Massachusetts to supply other scientists with the plant so

studies about its medicinal benefits can take place.  But after filing

an application with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in June

2001 to establish a facility on the Amherst campus to produce marijuana

for U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved research, he hasn’t

received a yes or no.

To get an answer, Craker has teamed with two other parties as plaintiffs

in one of two lawsuits scheduled to be filed today that accuses the

federal government with obstructing medical marijuana research.

“I’m hoping the lawsuit will bring a response,” Craker said from his

office in Stockbridge Hall yesterday, where he is the director of the

medicinal plant program and member of the department of plant, soil and

insect sciences.  “It’s unfortunate, but the issue probably has to be

forced here (in the courts).”

The two suits are supposed to be filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals in

Washington, D.C.  The first suit is filed by the Multidisciplinary

Association for Psychedelic Studies; Craker and Valerie Corral, a

California-licensed medical marijuana patient and caregiver, against the

Drug Enforcement Administration.  It seeks a decision on Craker’s

request and a request by Chemic Laboratories of Canton to import 10

grams of marijuana from the Dutch Office of Medicinal Cannabis, for use

in a medical marijuana research project investigating the safety

advantages of a nonsmoking delivery device for marijuana by a vaporizer.

The second suit is filed by the association and Corral against the

federal Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute

on Drug Abuse and the National Institutes of Health.  It also seeks a

final ruling by the agencies on Chemic’s request for marijuana and the

vaporizer study.

The Drug Enforcement Administration and National Institute on Drug Abuse

would not comment on the suits.

“We’re arguing unreasonable delay,” said Rick E. Doblin, president of

the association, based in Sarasota, Fla.  “We are blocked from growing

our own (marijuana) at UMass Amherst.  We are blocked from importing

from the Dutch Office of Medicinal Cannabis, and we are blocked from

purchasing from the government’s supply.”

U.S. Senators John F. Kerry and Edward M. Kennedy sent a letter to the

Drug Enforcement Administration in October 2003 expressing support for

the UMass-Amherst marijuana research production facility.

BUSH:
Wrecks his bike and smacks his head…shows up with scrapes to confirm the
story.
Chokes on a pretzel, passes out, and smacks his head…shows up with
scrapes and bruises to confirm the story.
Reports of Nixon-like tirades against his “enemies.”
Reports that he’s on anti-depressants due to anger and stress.

My vote, as a former counselor and methadone pimp, says he’s still
drinking heavy, and they just sober him up and pump him full of pills when
it’s time to slap him up on stage. He’s a whack-job. All his press
conferences are scripted, and when he has to field a real question, posed
unexpectedly, he gets that “deer in the headlights’ sort of look and can
barely mumble his way through.

This must be some propaganda,  how powerful his medication is? How many times a day is he taking them? maybe he had them for his wife or just for a bad day?
Why would he take medication in the first place? Does his Doctor knows what privacy is?   his is the president he doesn’t need to be depressed ,
He is powerful has nice family and lot of cash, the only thing is  his father isn’t so happy to have him out of office,
It isn’t so easy to “let Go” , addiction to a powerful position. How is he going to get Osama?  Who is going to control the opium fields in Afghanistan?
Maybe he is going to have his own private army?
This man has a lot on his mind , at the same time he has many minds thinking for him,
Just wondering???

George Bush Using Hard-Core Anti-Depressants: Handlers Don’t Want Him Flying
Off The Handle

Bush Using Drugs to Control Depression, Erratic Behavior
By TERESA HAMPTON
Editor, Capitol Hill Blue
Jul 28, 2004, 08:09

President George W. Bush is taking powerful anti-depressant drugs to control
his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia, Capitol Hill Blue has
learned.

The prescription drugs, administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White
House physician, can impair the President’s mental faculties and decrease
both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis,
administration aides admit privately.
¯It’s a double-edged sword,— says one aide. ¯We can’t have him flying off
the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is
alert mentally.—
Angry Bush walked away from reporter’s questions.
Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off
stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters’ questions about his
relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.
¯Keep those motherfuckers away from me,— he screamed at an aide backstage.
¯If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.—

Bush’s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in
recent months. Capitol Hill Blue first reported on June 4 about increasing
concern among White House aides over the President’s wide mood swings and
obscene outbursts.

Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the
reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University
psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind
of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a ¯paranoid
meglomaniac— and ¯untreated alcoholic— whose ¯lifelong streak of sadism,
ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to
insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand
gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad— showcase Bush’s instabilities.
©¯I was really very unsettled by him and I started watching everything he did
and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape. I felt he was
disturbed,— Dr. Frank said. ¯He fits the profile of a former drinker whose
alcoholism has been arrested but not treated.—

Dr. Frank’s conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists,
including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr.
Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School.

The doctors also worry about the wisdom of giving powerful anti-depressant
drugs to a person with a history of chemical dependency. Bush is an admitted
alcoholic, although he never sought treatment in a formal program, and
stories about his cocaine use as a younger man haunted his campaigns for
Texas governor and his first campaign for President.

¯President Bush is an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac
tendencies,— Dr. Frank adds.
The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment on this article.

Although the exact drugs Bush takes to control his depression and behavior
are not known, White House sources say they are ¯powerful medications—
designed to bring his erratic actions under control.

While Col. Tubb regularly releases a synopsis of the President’s annual physical, details of
the President’s health and any drugs or treatment he may receive are not
public record and are guarded zealously by the secretive cadre of aides that
surround the President.

Veteran White House watchers say the ability to control information about
Bush’s health, either physical or mental, is similar to Ronald Reagan’s
second term when aides managed to conceal the President’s increasing memory
lapses that signaled the onslaught of Alzheimer’s Disease.

It also brings back memories of Richard Nixon’s final days when the
soon-to-resign President wondered the halls and talked to portraits of
former Presidents. The stories didn’t emerge until after Nixon left office.

One long-time GOP political consultant who  for obvious reasons  asked not
to be identified said he is advising his Republican Congressional candidates
to keep their distance from Bush.

”We have to face the very real possibility that the President of the United
States is loony tunes,” he says sadly. “That’s not good for my candidates,
it’s not good for the party and it’s certainly not good for the country.”

Despite advances in the development of medications to treat addictive
disorders, they are underutilized in community-based drug treatment
programs. To
discover how the treatment community feels about using medication to treat
heroin
dependency, Brandeis and Oregon Health Sciences University surveyed
clients
and counselors in residential, outpatient and methadone programs in
Massachusetts and Oregon. Using the Azjen-Fishbein Theory of Reasoned
Action as a
theoretical framework, focus groups were used to develop a questionnaire
which was
subsequently pilot-tested with 83 clients and 61 staff members. Questions
focused
on four medications (Methadone, Clonidine, Buprenorphine and Ibogaine).
T-tests, Anovas and multiple regression analyses were used to identify
normative
influences, beliefs, expectancies, treatment settings and personal
characteristics that predicted favorable or unfavorable attitudes.
Although staff had
become more accepting toward medication due to the increasing prevalence
of dual
diagnosis, the effectiveness of many medications and the spread of HIV,
most
clients felt that medication interfered with recovery and should only be
used for
withdrawal. Methadone was viewed more positively than any of the drugs,
although many were guardedly optimistic about Buprenorphine’s potential.
Clonidine
was perceived as ineffective in the treatment of heroin dependence.
Counselors
were more receptive to all drugs than clients. Resistance to the use of
pharmacotherapy was particularly pronounced among the former heroin users
in
residential programs. A larger survey is underway with 1080 clients and
360
counselors. Results will be used to inform policy and practice regarding
the
successful adoption and implementation of effective new practices.
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe at least four major medications that have
been developed to treat heroin dependency 2. Discuss historical barriers
to
adopting and implementing new pharmacotherapies in drug abuse treatment
programs
3. Identify the social norms, expectancies, beliefs, and values that are
associated with favorable and unfavorable attitudes toward medication 3.
Recognize
why developing and testing new medications are important for HIV
prevention

While recent years have witnessed a 25% increase in the use of
complementary
and alternative medications, none of these have come into widespread use
in
the treatment of opiate dependence. Ibogaine, an hallucinogenic substance
from
the bark of the Iboga tree in Gabon, has enjoyed a cult following in
Europe and
Africa for some time. Enthusiasts claim that after ingesting Ibogaine
once,
their desire for heroin is gone forever. The drug has not been approved by
the
FDA for use in the United States since animal studies in this country have
not
been conclusive. To discover whether the treatment community would approve
of
using Ibogaine treat heroin dependency, Brandeis and Oregon Health &
Sciences
University surveyed 1,461 clients and counselors in residential,
outpatient
and methadone programs in Massachusetts and Oregon. Using the
Azjen-Fishbein
Theory of Reasoned Action as a theoretical framework, the 8 page
questionnaire
focused on four medications that are used to treat heroin addiction:
Ibogaine,
Buprenorphine, Methadone and Clonidine. Multiple regression analysis was
used
to identify demographic characteristics, normative influences and
attitudinal
factors that were associated with intentions to take Ibogaine. Although
10% of
clients and counselors had heard of Ibogaine, none of them had ever used
this
medication. A substantial minority of 12%, or 161 people, however, claimed
that they would use Ibogaine if they had the opportunity. Males, clients
(as
opposed to counselors), individuals in outpatient clinics, blacks
respondents and
respondents with less education were more likely to say that they intended
to
use Ibogaine.
Learning Objectives:

After attending this session, the audience should be able to (* identify
the
benefits and drawbacks of Ibogaine, a herbal medication for drug
addiction; (
*   describe why treatment programs may be more receptive to herbal
medications than to conventional pharmaceuticals; (
*   discuss whether or not Ibogaine should be approved for use in the U.S.

Subject: Re: [ibogaine] quitting smoking

Melatonin at night, especially when you wake up in the middle of the
night to pee. The sublinguals–put them up between yr upper lip and
gum after moistening. And smoke pot. Not much, but a couple tokes
everytime you get the urge to smoke. BTW, the reason pot has no
substantial withdrawals is that the cannabidiol is a glutamate
antagonist, which means that every joint has a weak ibo-like effect.
Very weak, but sufficient to block buildup of tolerance to THC. The
melatonin prevents tolerance to the CBD, so you don’t get so much of
the “chronic” effect that causes you to need to smoke pot all the
time.

Ummm. Tolerance to THC and the other cannabinoids both develops and
disipates pretty rapidly, usually within a few days. Strangely though,
tolerance to pot’s appetite stimulating effects rarely develops.

While cannabinol has been shown to antagonise glutamate activity, that
does not mean it works like ibogaine at all. Ibogaine’s anti-addictive
effects seem to be a result of a complex series of interactions with
multiple neurotransmitter systems. At least a couple different ibogaine
studies have shown that glutamate antagonism alone does not produce an
anti-addictive effect. However, cannabinol’s glutamate antagonist activity
is thought to be responsible for it’s neuroprotective effect; as it blocks
cell death induced glutamate cascade.

The suggestion that melatonin in some way modulates cannabinoid tolerance
also seems rather specious to me. Presumably, cannabinoid tolerance
develops as a result of extended stimulation and subsequent
desensitisation of the cannabinoid receptors. Melatonin doesn’t appear to
show any activity at cannabinoid receptors.

Anyway, I know for me, if I was going to try to quit smoking cigarettes,
I’d have to quit pot as well, at least temporarily. i ALWAYS have a cig
right after i finish a bowl, so there’s a VERY strong association for me
there.

It’s all about figuring out your own triggers. But strictly
psychophysiologically speaking, it doesn’t seem likely to me that pot
would have much of an effect on nicotine intake one way or the other.

Hey Mindvoxians,    didn’t I see someone say something in a post in the past few days about the laws in N.Y. state concerning patient records, i.e. EKG, blood work and the like? I plan to get my records from my visit to the ER to show my provider what good shape my heart, and blood work are in. One good thing I got from my successful treatment for Hep C. was to see that I hadn’t done any major damage to myself not even any cirrhosis, none!! I couldn’t believe it. I drank like a fish with cotton mouth for years. Matter of fact I went from junkie to drunky ever time I got on Meth except this one. I haven’t been good and drunk in about 10 years, thank God! Here is my hypothetical question or survey I’d like to run. Poll all Dr.’s in the US and ask them of all the patients they have on pain meds, diet pills, and benzo’s how many of them have a problem with them. Then ask the same of patients all anonymously of course. How many of these people would take Ibogaine if given a choice?That is if they even know about it.That’s a lot of people to say no to. Information is power. Power to the people. Remember that?       Randy

Hey Preston,

The Sunday Mercury is marginal….. I had never heard of it until now! I
was
contacted by a reporter in the midlands a few weeks ago who said she was
writing for a local paper up there which must be this.

Local papers don’t get read that widely and certainly noone in the south
of
the country would ever get to see it. Slightly worrying about the
discussion
with the department for health. However we have to remember there has
been
loads of really positive press recently most of which has been in the
mainstream media – The BBC, The Observer and the Daily Mirror.

The Mercury……well someone was bound to write that type of piece and
luckily it was only a local.

Hattie

Here’s comes that slightly trepidatious feeling again.
But hey, no risk, no gain, right?
Peace and love,
Preston

DEADLY ‘CURE’ FOR JUNKIES

A ‘miracle drug’ which claims to cure heroin addicts in just ONE day
has
already been linked to four deaths.

Although it can be obtained officially only on prescription, the
Sunday
Mercury was able to buy some for UKP 30 on the internet.

Manufacturers say Ibogaine works by instantly relieving withdrawal
symptoms
and suppressing cravings for heroin and cocaine.

The toxic substance is so powerful that it can only be prescribed by
doctors – but our reporter was able to buy a derivative of it over
the
internet with no questions asked.

In the past, Ibogaine treatment has only been available privately at
UKP
500 a time.

But the Sunday Mercury has discovered that Midland addicts are buying
it
illegally from an online herbalist.

Now Ibogaine therapists, who offer expensive treatment programmes,
are
warning the DIY detox approach could kill.

“It is not advisable for drug addicts to attempt an Ibogaine
treatment
programme on their own,” one therapist said.

“Everyone reacts differently to Ibogaine and it could be dangerous if
you
don’t know what you are doing.  It has been known for people to die
after
taking Ibogaine.”

It is believed four people have died from taking the drug, including
one
in
Britain.

Ibogaine is an unlicensed drug in the UK, and cannot be sold without
a
prescription.  But despite this restriction, one UK distributor
continues
to sell a derivative of the drug online.

Last week, the Sunday Mercury bought 10 grammes of Iboga root bark
capsules
for UKP 28.98.

In an e-mail exchange the webmaster told our reporter: “I am the only
salesman of Iboga in England and supply it to people all over the
country,
including in the Midlands.

“Most of my customers have been mothers who are desperate to get
their
kids
off drugs.  One of them told me she has a son who was hooked on
heroin
and
crack.  Iboga got him off the stuff.”

We contacted the seller later to tell him what he was doing was
illegal.

“I was unaware that the Department of Health said selling Ibogaine is
illegal,” he claimed.  “Thanks for the tip.  However, I only sell
Ibogaine
root bark so it should be OK.”

Last night, a spokesman for the Department of Health advised our
reporter
to alert the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.

I know someone who is about to do some sitting for someone else I
know,
and was wondering if there was something posted somewhere, some sort of
guidelines/advice for sitters. She would like to better know what she’s
in for as a sitter, what her responsibilities are and might be, and what
she
should be looking out for as a sitter. Barring something posted already,
perhaps someone can give some suggestions here that I can pass on to my
friend.

Preston,

If you are a responsible sitter, it is a lot of work.  Your job is to
observe
and care for the patient.  That is a 24/7 job and if it is only one person
that means they are there full time.  Taking pulse and blood pressure
periodically and on any occasion the patient does not appear well is in
order.  Knowing
what you are doing helps.  That is you have some prior experience in
observing
ibogaine treated patients.  Help patients get to the bathroom or move if
they
have to during the ataxic period.  If an emergency of any kind should
arise,
don’t hesitate to call EMS.

For the patient, drink lots of water for two days prior to ibogaine
therapy.
You want to be well hydrated.  Though not drinking for four hours prior to
administration is also a good idea in my opinion except for the liquid
which is
used to swallow the capsules of ibo if that is the form taken.

Most patients will not want to eat or drink for a good long time after
taking
ibogaine.  I think the sitter should try to get the subject to drink
water/juice/liquids sixteen to twenty hours after administration.  This is
just a
hydration issue and I am sure there are a lot of opinions on this which I
would be
very glad to hear.

illegal,” he claimed.  “Thanks for the tip.  However, I only sell
Ibogaine
root bark so it should be OK.”

Last night, a spokesman for the Department of Health advised our
reporter
to alert the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.

The Observer

Once a month, Kate Bradley leaves her neat, semi-detached home in Telford, Shropshire, in search of the street dealer who supplies her with around £100 of premium quality cannabis. For the past six years she has taken the drug, either rolled into joints or baked into cakes, at least four times a day in order to ease the crippling agonies of multiple sclerosis, the degenerative disease which has put her in a wheelchair.

She is now one of the leading lights in the campaign, supported by an early day motion tabled in the Commons last week, to have the drug legalised for medicinal purposes. Around 85,000 people in the UK suffer from MS and increasing numbers of them risk arrest by using cannabis to alleviate their symptoms.

But for Kate Bradley the decision to turn to the class C drug was harder than for most: before she became ill she worked as an undercover officer for the West Midlands police.

’I worked on the drug squad, infiltrating clubs and other venues where the dealers operated,’ she said last week. ‘It was dangerous work. One time I was forced to get into a furious argument to stop my cover being blown. We went after people selling cocaine, LSD and, of course, cannabis. At the time I felt that these were bad people who had broken the law and that it was my job to deal with them. Now the pendulum is swinging the other way and I am the bad person.’

She added: ‘I’ve tried everything, even morphine, but cannabis is the only thing that helps. For me it’s not a recreational drug – it’s a lifesaver. When I have an attack the pain is everywhere. It goes from the soles of my feet right up through my legs, my torso into my eyes and even into my mouth. I feel like I’m being stung by millions of bees all at the same time all over my body. Then I end up feeling like I’m on fire, it’s as if there’s a blowtorch against my skin. And at the same time, there are tight metal bands around my legs and arms, so tight they make me want to chop them off.’

The Home Office has been examining the issue of medicinal cannabis for more than four years and is still not able to say when a decision will be made. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency was expected to conclude its review of trials by a pharmaceutical company at the end of last year but has yet to rule on the issue.

Last month Peter Bradley (no relation), the Labour MP for Wrekin, wrote to Home Office minister Caroline Flint, urging her to authorise the controlled and limited production of cannabis for medicinal use. She has yet to reply.

’The government should allow those with MS to make their own decisions as to whether the risk from medicinal cannabis might pose a greater threat to their health than the disease from which they suffer,’ he told The Observer. ‘There is a moral duty to give sufferers the right to choose.’

Last year, a UK study of more than 600 people concluded that cannabis-based medicines might be of benefit to some MS sufferers. The Multiple Sclerosis Society said there was a good case for those who might benefit from the drug being able to have treatment provided on the NHS.

Peter Bradley’s motion has attracted all-party support which in turn has prompted Kate to speak out about the ethical dilemmas she faces every time she uses the drug.

’I first heard about cannabis when I was with a group of friends who also suffered from MS. One of the women there suggested I try cannabis. I shrank back right away. I thought to myself, “I am an ex-police officer. I used to arrest drug dealers, how can I possibly start using them?” I had to fight with my conscience but the fight didn’t last very long. The pain was getting worse and worse, it was getting so I just couldn’t live with it any more. I didn’t want to be around if I was going to suffer like that.

’Once I had decided to go ahead I had to work out how to get hold of a supplier. It was very demeaning, going out on to the street in my wheelchair to find a seller.

’I eventually found someone. At first he suspected I was an undercover police officer and they were being set up. It was horribly ironic. The whole thing took place out in the street and I was sitting there thinking that in another life, I would have been arresting this person. I gave him the money, he gave me a package and that was it. We have been meeting once a month ever since.’

’The first time I took it I was terrified because I really didn’t know what the effects were going to be. But when I did I just couldn’t believe it. Within half an hour the pain had started to fade for the first time in years. I just couldn’t grasp the fact that there was something so much more effective than all the conventional medicine I had tried, yet it was not available on prescription. It didn’t make any sense.

’The government seems to be blasé about our fate. I cannot believe the research is taking so long and anyway I do not need any research because I know exactly what works for me. All that I and hundreds of other MS sufferers want is some compassion.’
