Ibogaine is not a cure.  It is a highly effective treatment.  It is about as
good as it gets unless you opt for maintenance therapy (buprenorphine,
methadone, etc.)

Ron, I have never used drugs, or even smoked a cigarette for that matter.

My son was addicted to Oxycontin and I’m one to find a cure, rather than
a
treatment.  Thst’s why I’m interested in Iboga.   But, I’m not hearing
alot
about addicts overcoming they’re addiction.  So, is it taken for granted

that all addicts are for Kerry?  My son is not.  I love everyone and would

do my best to help anyone, but I’ve always had a strong sense of justice,

and do have a problem with hearing President Bush treated so badly by those

who he has taken so much heat to protect.   But, If Kerry wins, I will
not
say a harsh word against him, because he would be my President, and any

criticism is fuel to terriorists fire and empowers them to kill more of
our
troops.

I’m done with the politics.  I can talk that anywhere. Just vote. I don’t give a rat’s ass for whom. Just do the American thing and vote. Hell, i voted for a democratic governor last race. I’m not stuck on any party, although i’m a registered Republican. They are all not the same. Same as all Democrats aren’t either. Neither candidate can give you every thing you want. But I will say, Republican or Democrat, most are overpaid, spoiled crooks, who want power. And will say anything or do anything to get it. Greed and power. Always been that way, always will be. But we get to elect the greediest, most powerful bastard, anyway. Well, kind of.

France and Russia
Iraq did most of its killing using Russian-made MiG and Sukhoi aircraft equipped with chemical sprayers. In addition, Saddam used French-made artillery and helicopters to dump gas on the Iranians and his own people.
The 155mm shell found outside of Baghdad airport was made for Iraq’s arsenal of French made artillery. Clearly, the shell was designed to meet French military standards to fire and used advanced safety techniques to protect Iraqi gunners.
It was that safety technique, of separating the nerve gas into two inert chemicals, and placing them in two chambers inside the shell, that foiled the terrorist attack. The “binary” chemical weapons design has a metal or plastic diaphragm designed to keep the two inert chemicals apart until the massive force or shock of firing it down a cannon bursts the wall, allowing the chemicals to mix.
Ironically, the binary weapons design originated inside the former Soviet Union. Saddam Hussein rose to power backed by Russian weapons and Russian money. Saddam still owes Moscow over $8 billion for the arms he purchased from Russia.
The primary Iraqi chemical weapons are nerve gas and mustard gas, a blistering agent, standard equipment for the 1980s Soviet era military machine.
According to “Russian Military Power” published in 1982, “It is known that the Soviets maintain stocks of CW (chemical weapons) agents.” The two primary Russian chemical weapons in the 1982 Soviet inventory were “nerve” gas and “blistering agents – developments of mustard gas used so effectively in World War I.”
Iraq obtained Russian chemical delivery systems and the same inventory of Russian made chemical weapons at the same time. Iraqi SU-22 Fitter attack jets have been armed with Warsaw Pact designed bombs filled with chemical weapons.
Iraq used these Russian jet fighters to drop chemical weapons on Iranian troops during the Iran/Iraq war. Iraq tried to use these SU-22 jets during the 1991 Gulf war and was foiled by the allied air superiority.

Our creator, and the decent people in the US are getting very fed up of the attacks against the decent.  The weakest, most despicible beings there are  are those who feel so safe attacking the good, decent people who will stand for the rights of the people who are too tiny to vote, those that believe that every human freedom of choice to live or die, and has the moxie to fight against terriorism, when it’s so unpopular.  No, George Bush speech comes from the heart, and he gets emotional.  John Kerry really doesn’t care, sounds like it’s memorized.  You had to hear him say that he would use OUR tax money to give to some female “being” to murder another human.  I would rather not work, than to let any of my money go for this terriorist act,  tha John Kerry supports.

He’s been America’s most unorthodox political commentator for more than 30 years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush presidency is evil beyond belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America is too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am one of them. Election day – especially when it’s a presidential election – is always a wild and terrifying time for politics junkies, and I am one of those, too. We look forward to major election days like sex addicts look forward to orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the winners. They are not the ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the votes are finally counted and the losers are forced to get down on their knees. No. The slaves who emerge victorious from these drastic public decisions go crazy with joy and plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled Cristal champagne with naked strangers who want to be close to a winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You see it every time. The weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing their jobs and money and all the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It is like suddenly losing your wife and your home in a vagrant poker game, then having to go on the road with whoremongers and beg for your dinner in public. Nobody wants to hire a loser. Right? They stink of doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It’s making me sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in to apply for a job, but we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him down to the parking lot and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new enemies list? I want them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist sympathisers, and most of them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come over here and kneel down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni, vidi, vici, especially among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin saying: “As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white men, and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any candidate who ever ran against George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards, John McCain – all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the United States, and Al Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to demolish anything that got in his way, including the US Supreme Court. It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick Cheney & Halliburton Inc) controls all three branches of our federal government today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die than lose the election in November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had no response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has always been the case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous “trickle-down” theory of US economic policy. If the rich get richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and somehow “trickle down” to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to pre-industrial America, when only white male property owners could vote.

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush comes from. Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West – which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The other one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas, which has no laws against any deviant practice not specifically forbidden in the New Testament, including anal incest and public cunnilingus with farm animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US Senate, Lyndon Johnson was running about 10 points behind, with only nine days to go. He was desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday, they say, when he called his equally depressed campaign manager and told him to call a press conference for just before lunch on a slow news day and accuse his high-riding opponent, a pig farmer, of having routine carnal knowledge of his sows, despite the pleas of his wife and children.

His campaign manager was shocked. “We can’t say that, Lyndon,” he supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

“Of course it’s not!” Johnson barked. “But let’s make the bastard deny it!”

Johnson – a Democrat, like Bill Clinton – won that election by fewer than 100 votes, and after that he was home free. He went on to rule Texas and the US Senate for 20 years and to be the most powerful vice president in the history of the United States. Until now.

Armageddon came early for George Bush this year, and he was not ready for it. His long-awaited showdowns with John Kerry turned into a series of embarrassments that broke his nerve and demoralised his closest campaign advisers. They knew he would never recover, no matter how many votes they could steal for him in Florida, where the presidential debates were closely watched and widely celebrated by millions of Kerry supporters who suddenly had reason to feel like winners.

Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog with almost no chance of winning three out of three rigged confrontations with a treacherous little freak like George Bush. But the debates are over now, and the victor was John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush and left him for roadkill.

Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a donkey with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in Coral Gables, when Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful… I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him “Mister President”, and then I felt ashamed.

Karl Rove, the President’s political wizard, felt even worse. There is angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the bowels of the White House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its name is George Bush. The president failed miserably from the instant he got onstage with John Kerry. He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong in Coral Gables, then again in St Louis and Tempe. That is Rove’s problem. His candidate is a weak-minded frat boy who cracks under pressure in front of 60 million voters.

Bush signed his own death warrant in the opening round, when he finally had to speak without his teleprompter. It was a Cinderella story brought up to date in Florida that night – except this time, the false prince turned back into a frog.

Immediately after the first debate ended, I called Muhammad Ali at his home in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ was laughing so hard that he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate really cracked him up,” he chuckled. “The champ loves a good ass-whuppin’. He says Bush looked so scared to fight, he finally just quit and laid down.”

This year’s first presidential debate was such a disaster for George Bush that his handlers had to be crazy to let him get in the ring with John Kerry again. Yet Karl Rove let it happen, and we can only wonder why. But there is no doubt that the president has lost his nerve, and his career in the White House is finished. No mas.

Indeed. The numbers are weird today, and so is this dangerous election. The time has come to rumble, to inject a bit of fun into politics. That’s exactly what the debates did. John Kerry looked like a winner, and it energised his troops. Voting for Kerry is starting to look like serious fun for everyone except poor George, who now looks like a loser. That is fatal in a presidential election.

I look at elections with the cool and dispassionate gaze of a professional gambler, especially when I’m betting real money on the outcome. Contrary to most conventional wisdom, I see Kerry with five points as a recommended risk. Kerry will win this election, if it happens, by a bigger margin than Bush finally gouged out of Florida in 2000. That was about 46 per cent, plus five points for owning the US Supreme Court – which seemed to equal 51 per cent. Nobody really believed that, but George W Bush moved into the White House anyway.

It was the most brutal seizure of power since Hitler burned the Reichstag in 1933 and declared himself the new boss of Germany. Karl Rove is no stranger to Nazi strategy, if only because it worked for a while, and it was sure fun for Hitler. But not for long. He ran out of oil, the whole world hated him, and he liked to gobble pure crystal biphetamine and stay awake for eight days in a row with his maps and bombers and his dope-addled general staff.

They all loved the whiff. It is the perfect drug for war, as long as you are winning, and Hitler thought he was king of the hill forever. He had created a new master race, and every one of them worshipped him. They were fanatics. That was 66 years ago, and things are not much different today. We still love war.

George Bush certainly does. In four short years he has turned our country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States, and you’re not. Love it or leave it.

BULLETIN: KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR THOMPSON JOINS DEMOCRAT IN CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILIS PRESIDENT”.

“Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of syphilis,” the famed author said yesterday at a hastily called press conference near his home in Woody Creek, Colorado.

“Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous loser like Bush. He hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will vote against him in November.” Thompson, well known for the eerie accuracy of his political instincts, went on to denounce Ralph Nader as “a worthless Judas goat with no moral compass.”

“I endorsed John Kerry a long time ago,” he said, “and I will do everything in my power, short of roaming the streets with a meat hammer, to help him be the next president of the United States.”

Which is true. I said all those things, and I will say them again. Of course I will vote for John Kerry. I have known him for 30 years as a good man with a brave heart – which is more than even the President’s friends will tell you about George W Bush, who is also an old acquaintance from the white-knuckle days of yesteryear. He is hated all over the world, including large parts of Texas, and he is taking us all down with him. Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, and he is no fun at all.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I won’t make that mistake again. The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to the dead. Nader is a fool, as is anybody who votes for him in November – with the obvious exception of professional Republicans who have paid big money to turn him into a world-famous Judas goat. Nader is so desperate that he’s paying homeless people to gather signatures to get him on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, the petitions he submitted contained tens of thousands of phoney signatures, including Fred Flintstone, Mickey Mouse and John Kerry. A judge dumped Ralph from the ballot there, calling it “the most deceitful and fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated upon this court”.

But they will keep his name on the ballot in the long-suffering Hurricane State, which is ruled by the President’s younger brother, Jeb, who also wants to be the next president of the United States. In 2000, when they sent Jim Baker to Florida, I knew it was all over. In that election, 97,488 people voted for Nader in Florida, and Gore lost the state by 537 votes. You don’t have to be from Texas to understand the moral of that story. It’s like being out-coached in the Super Bowl. Only losers play fair, and all winners have blood on their hands.

Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel like a winner, we had a quick rendezvous on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen, Colorado, where he was scheduled to meet a harem of wealthy campaign contributors. I told him that Bush’s vicious goons in the White House are perfectly capable of assassinating Nader and blaming it on him. His staff laughed, but the Secret Service men didn’t. Kerry suggested I might make a good running mate, and we reminisced about trying to end the Vietnam War in 1972.

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn and I was trying to throw a dead rat over a black-spike fence and on to the President’s lawn. We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon – which wise people said was impossible, but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.

Ron,
I think there were some posts earlier today about Ibo and benzos, and the common consensus seems to be that Ibo doesn’t relieve benzo withdrawal- something about acting on different receptors.
I have heard benzo withdrawal is way worse than opiate, and am so thankful I haven’t had to go through that.  I have also heard some ‘messages from the underground’ about using GHB to combat both benzo and alcohol withdrawal, but these claims seem to be only partially substantiated.  Search for an Italian study about GHB and alcohol withdrawal- check Entrez Med, or PubMed.
Quite honestly, most doctors don’t know shit about withdrawal, unless they are an expert in that area.  Like you said, many of them are out to line their pocketbooks, and to evade prosecution.  You will probably find more real information from someone who has already kicked benzos.  There are a few good forums online, but I forget the addresses.  I’ll look into it for you.
cheers, Julie

Hi all,
(First of all, I understand this hasn’t anything to do with ibogaine or the war on some drugs either really, other than for the similarities in how the US government is stifling a report that shows the facts to be other than what they allege them to be, as is and has been done with so many reports contrary to the stated rationals for waging said WOSDU. But because one of these lists is mine, and the other is full of people I like, I’m passing this on to you all.)
I love this one. Remember the brouhaha over the “quick” release of the
Sept. 11 Commission “Report,” the one that was released to the public at the
“cheap” price of $10, the one I ran out to buy the first day it came out?
Well, it’s not the “complete” report afterall (oh gosh, I’m soooo surprised
too). Turns out official people “lied” or at least “didn’t quite tell the
truth,” or so the NYTimes is reporting when discussing the contents of the
“suppliment” to the Sept. 11 Commission “Report” that’s being withheld from
public release until after the “election.”
So, does this matter at all, that the people in charge of our protection
lied about what they did that day in Sept. 2001? Does it matter that more
factual updates of the report are being withheld from we the people? Will it
change anything at all, the “news” that we’ve been lied to yet again about
the very worst attack on civilians (at least, mostly white civilians as
opposed to native American civilians say) ever on our shores? Or is it just
conspiratorial thinking that leads me to think the very worst about those in
power (and seeking power too) in my country today?
Interestingly, here in the NYC area, we’re seeing commercials urging a
reopening of the investigation, accompanied by some very interesting and
disturbing photos of that weird hole left by the collision with the Pentagon
(as well as another pointing out the oddities of WTC7’s collapse). I’m not
coming down on the side of any theory about the attacks, but I do certainly
find that photo of the small, neat hole in the side of the Pentagon really
freakin weird.
Anyway, I thought I’d pass on these short snippets from the Times’
article about the Commission report suppliment being withheld from us, the
folk who actually paid for it (not to mention actually demanded it be done
in the first place, over the strenuous objections on the part of Bush/Cheney et al).
Peace and love, eventually,
Preston

“the [9/11] commission quietly asked the inspectors general at the
Departments of Defense and Transportation to review what it had
determined were broadly inaccurate accounts provided by several
civil and military officials about efforts to track and chase the
hijacked aircraft on Sept. 11.”

For succinct documentation of how NORAD’s own press release about
9/11, released 9/18/01, was deleted from NORAD’s web site this
summer; and how it was self-incriminating, see

http://vote.org/911

In NYC last month, a Zogby poll showed 49.3% believe the government
knew 9/11 was coming and purposely did nothing.

If we don’t make sure a REAL investigation happens, then 9/11, like
the JFK, MLK and RFK assassinations, will forever make Americans
fear “their” government. (For decades, some 70% of Americans don’t
believe the govt story on JFK.)

So please pass this on to people who still believe the govt 9/11
story. Maybe you can get a newspaper person to write about it.

Part of 9/11 Report Remains Unreleased; An Inquiry Is Begun
By JIM DWYER

Published: October 30, 2004

One last chapter of the investigation by the Sept. 11 commission, a
supplement completed more than two months ago, has not yet been made
public by the Justice Department, and officials say it is unlikely
to be released before the presidential election, even though that
had been a major goal of deadlines set for the panel.

Drawing from this unpublished part of the inquiry, the commission
quietly asked the inspectors general at the Departments of Defense
and Transportation to review what it had determined were broadly
inaccurate accounts provided by several civil and military officials
about efforts to track and chase the hijacked aircraft on Sept. 11.

snip-

In testimony before the commission, officials had described a quick
response to the hijackings that narrowly missed intercepting some of
the planes, but the commission’s investigators later determined from
documentary evidence that none of the military planes were anywhere
near the four airliners.

In addition, officials at the Federal Aviation Administration
testified that they had notified the military within a few minutes
of each hijacking, but the investigation found that tape recordings
contradicted that assertion.

The commission, in its final report, said that the true picture “did
not reflect discredit” on individuals, but that unreliable testimony
about the events had made it harder to understand the problems.

Besides the pursuit of the hijacked planes, the supplement, a
monograph 60 to 70 pages long, revisits other subjects in the
commission’s final report of July – telephone calls made from the
hijacked airplanes, airline security and orders issued that morning
by President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney – and provides
additional detail or context, former commission members said.

The monograph also finds shortcomings in the Transportation Security
Administration, the agency formed to buttress airline security after
the hijackings, said Bob Kerrey, the former Democratic senator from
Nebraska and a commission member.

I unnerstan’ that this is a highly charged up time with that election thing happening.  But turning this place into the Kerry vs. Bush debate is probably not going to solve or change, much of anything.  Which is, okay.  Everyone can say whatever they want.

However…  On election day, get up off your ass and VOTE.  For somebody.

This is the first time in my entire life that I am actually registered to vote.  I am neither a Democrat nor Republican, I’m a Libertarian.

My partner in MindVox, and one of my best friends since we were little kids — Bruce Fancher — is also a Libertarian.  We basically share the same beliefs.  Somewhere near the very top is the absolute conviction that a government that seeks to imprison me for the “crime” of altering my state of consciousness against its wishes, is pretty much a textbook definition of fascism.

By which I mean to say, that “War on Drugs” thing…  It’s really just not working out.  Having been at the receiving end of it for most of my life, it’s hard not to take it personally.

I am voting against Bush.  Since the basic core of being a Libertarian is pragmatism, this means I will be voting for Kerry.

Bruce will be voting for Bush — again, for the second time.  He’s a very smart, dysfunctional, human being, who doesn’t watch Fox News and has no interest in the abortion issue (as far as I know, we haven’t discussed it at length).  <Shrug>

Whatever it is that you believe, and whomever you support: ranting about it will not affect change.  VOTING — and kickbacks to Diebold — sure will!

So, GET UP OFF YOUR ASS AND VOTE.

Faith (or Ray?): ibogaine isn’t a “cure.”  Cure implies magic wand, something outside of you, which will somehow make everything totally different, without any effort on your part.

This doesn’t exist.

Ibogaine absolutely WILL detox your son, and bring him back — or pretty damn close — to a pre-addiction modality.  He will not be “detoxed” and still dopesick or fiending.  He will be reset, his physical dependence will no longer exist.  Period.

After this — depending on what your son’s other issues happen to be — he’s going to need to do SOMETHING.  What exactly that something is, I can’t possibly tell you without knowing your son; but if he does ibogaine, goes back to whatever life he is living now, and changes nothing.  The odds are extremely high that what he will be doing in the near future is more oxy.

I believe Ray Reynolds. God bless you. for helping these poor people who have
known nothing but fear and depression for years. Just because the Liberal
Press didn’t report it, does not mean it ain’t been done. I’d bet you 80-85% of
the average Iraqi people are glad were there. Most are still afraid to speak
their minds after being brainwashed all their lifes. If you have not been over
there personally, you don’t know. This man says he has. The 80-85% is my
opinion. But no one on this board knows unless you go take a poll. That’s just like
when(media) they come down to the part of the country I live in. They talk the
dumbest red-neck with the confederate flag on his truck, instead of black
head city councelman we have, black police chief we have, or the black judge,
professors or doctors. It’s controversy they want you to see. Not the truth.
Truth don’t sell papers or TV time. Controversy does. Simple. Even though I swear
to God I don’t know how far back in the woods they have to go get him ( Ronnie
Red) It’s very, very uncommon to see these idiots in the flesh. They are
almost like the dodo bird. Almost extinct. Will be soon, I hope.

Hi Ron,

So far I’ve never been off my Sub apart from when I was using so I can’t
answer that.  I’ve been on it 9 months though so I’m not looking forward to
it.  My Doctor etc here in the UK all say that Sub is not addictive and that
you should not suffer at all as long as you taper off it.  However I’ve
heard plenty of tales that disagree.  I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
How long have you been taking it?  What’s your dosage?  There’s an
opiate-detox forum with a bit all about Buprenorphine so you could go there
and read people’s posts for info.  (There’s a Bup forum and an info one that
I think has some details too)  But I’ve never got a solid answer out of it.
Look for a guy called ‘Bup4pain’ if he’s still about-he really knows what
he’s talking about.

http://64.226.201.78/Forum/default.asp

I’m no Doctor but surely you have to deal with one addiction at a time?
Benzos or Sub?  I feel for you with the benzo WD.

Have you read up on Ibogaine?  If not definately check out The ibogaine
Dossier for info.  The others will know better-can you use Ibo to knock both
Sub and Benzos on the head?  I’m hoping to do Ibogaine very very soon so
I’ll let you know how it works with the sub.

How come when all Kerry and his buddy war protesters lined up to throw their medals in the fire in front of the Capital ( I think that’s where it was) back in the early 70’s, he’s the only one who kept his medals and just threw his ribbons in the fire? There’s a clip of it on the news. He said he accidently left them at home, I think. If your going to do something to make a statement that strong about the Vietnam War, wouldn’t you go all the way or nothing. Wow, what a BOLD statement, John. If I was his buddies, some who probably wish they had their medals back, i’d be wanting his. Or a good ass kicking contest with him. I wouldn’t trust anybody who got his thing up and then wussed out on his friends, who served with him and who had each others lifes in their hands. Every minute. I’d make him take the lead. Don’t want him covering my back.

Very Funny!

High Morals and Ethics?

Does that include using influence to avoid Vietnam, then turning around  and attempting to smear someone WHO ACTUALLY SERVED?

Does that include cashing out from Harkin with a tidy profit DAYS  BEFORE HARKIN WENT BELLY UP? (leaving employees and shareholders empty  handed!)

Does that include the Bush family legacy of profiteering from oil and  Munitions manufacture? (munitions used to de-stabilize countries who  just so happen to have LOTS of oil under their soil)

Does that include having the notorious reputation of residing over the  highest amount of state executions (150) while he was Gov of Texas?  (more than any other Gov in the history of the US!)

Does that include deceiving a Nation into going to war? and shifting  rhyme and reason each time their rational is exposed to be false? All  the while thumbing his nose at our long-standing Allies?

Does that include turning a blind eye to the Bin Laden family (and  other “sensitive” Saudi’s) being allowed to leave the country only  hours after 9-11 when the rest of the country is under a no-fly order?

Does that include stomping on Afghanistan and quickly departing to get  Saddams oil, leaving the afghan war lords largely in charge to grow  their Poppies so they can put more heroin on the streets of Europe and  the Eastern US than has been seen in years?

Does that include the fact that Bush and everyone in his administration  are corporate crooks and lobbyists with only one goal: to fill their  greedy little small minded pockets with the payola of their mega  corporation sponsors? Who also are hell-bent on removing Democracy from  the table of America?

Describe to me the “Morals and High Ethics” at Guantanamo and Abu  Grahib? (or the legal counsel Bush sought to exonerate himself and  cabinet members from torture accountability – before the detainees  arrived???)

Does that include opening up the countries last remaining nature  preserves to Lumber and Fossil Fuel exploitation?

Refusing to sign the Kyoto agreement?

If so, I suppose “Morals and High Ethics” has taken on a whole new  meaning

I am pro-choice. and given that the worlds population is about to  double in the next 10 years, birth control and abortion aren’t such a  bad thing. Oh wait, of course the ultra right corpo’s don’t want  abortions! that means less consumers, which means less profits! Less  cattle to consume twinkies and FOX News. Less disillusioned youth who  will eventually stick a needle in their arm. we can’t have that!  MORE  is better!

Consume!

Reproduce!

Obey!

Carla,

I agree.  We Canadians are avidly following the
election, because we also fear another four years with
that inbred, uncultured redneck.  Personally, I can’t
imagine why any intelligent person would cast a vote
for that wanker(Bush).  There will be street parties
in Toronto if Kerry takes the election.

George Bush is a LIAR, a MANIPULATOR, and a complete
and utter sham.  He and Cheney need to stick to the
skin bars, and leave the decision making to a more
competent individual.  Kerry may not be perfect, but
at least his main concern isn’t enriching his fat cat
prick friends.

Faith, have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

Because George Bush is strong and has high morals and ethics, and he won’t sink to the level to “talk purdy” and say whatever someone wants to hear to get a vote.  You can tell a person’s level of moral development, and worth, by how they take up for those who can’t take up for themselves, and how they will do the right things for people even though those people are so ignorant they can’t see it.  Anyone who will vote for partial-birth abortion is a terriorist.  The safest place for a human on earth should be it’s Maother’s womb.

Carla,

I agree.  We Canadians are avidly following the
election, because we also fear another four years with
that inbred, uncultured redneck.  Personally, I can’t
imagine why any intelligent person would cast a vote
for that wanker(Bush).  There will be street parties
in Toronto if Kerry takes the election.

George Bush is a LIAR, a MANIPULATOR, and a complete
and utter sham.  He and Cheney need to stick to the
skin bars, and leave the decision making to a more
competent individual.  Kerry may not be perfect, but
at least his main concern isn’t enriching his fat cat
prick friends.

Faith, have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

Julie

Onderwerp: [Ibogaine] up coming treatment ….some issues

Hello List…
Well, here I am just a few days before I am supposed to be treated…mmm wish I had a better word….supposed to be dosed? supposed to … be given freedom from all these years of opiated living…..i suppose one of those or something else will have to do.
So I have been pretty quiet, kind of calm, as I ponder this upcoming experience. I am a combination of scared, worried, excited, nervous, confident, and so much more.

I am not sure exactly when I am dosing but it is in this upcoming week. I will let the list know as we have a regular “candle tradition” started here don’t you think!

Now some background so you all know who this is. I am 45 as of yesterday. I am married to an amazing woman (with no experience whatso ever in opiate use, abuse, or kicking, as well as any other powders) I lost my first wife to a heroin overdose back in 1993 we had a 7 year old son (who now 18 just started college!) and I raised him alone after my wife’s death. The experience of losing my woman, revealing our completely unknown drug use to her family as well as my own as she lay dying, well surreal doesn’t come close but is the only word I find to do justice to my feelings during that time.
I met my present wife while on tour seeing a band we both love back in 1999 marrying her in a spiritual ceremony with our guru Mata Amritandamayi in 2000 and again with a hippie rabbi to “legalize it” in 2001 She like to say she loves me so much she married me twice! That’s my Rachel I love her!!
I never thought I would be done with my methadone even when I had to tell Rachel about my history of drug use and my methadone medication.(about a week after our love at first site) But it was what she calls “The Bomb” that is the bomb I dropped in telling her about this storied past I own. A past she has a very hard time relating to at times it being a foreign world to her and her experience .(lucky girl)
I heard about Ibogaine many many years ago and ALWAYS knew it would be the way I would finally put this aspect of my life behind….I also knew that it would be a long time before I was ready to do that and that Ibogaine and I would find each other when the time was right…..all good things in all good time….
Now that we have found each other I am ready and Rachel is very nervous. as am I albeit in different ways and for different reasons.
I don’t think the list needs to hear about the specifics but the upcoming treatment has produced a definite amount of stress between us. She is a person who wants to have all things in order and set and I am a person who knows things will work out the way they are supposed to two very different outlooks and when applied to Ibogaine well it has been a hard few weeks. any one else had spousal or relatives problems leading up to and even post ibo??
Now back to a little background…After losing my wife I continued to use and was in a big habit very quickly. For good or ill money at that time was no object and I was doing a lot of dope and coke as well sometimes. Finally about two years after  the death of Sue I went on a methadone program (something I swore i would never do again after two failed detoxes in the past) but I went in with an attitude of using Methadone as “my insulin” I was going to be on it forever I thought I went in thinking my brain was different than most peoples and that I needed this medicine like diabetics need their medicine. and it worked I got away from the shooting of dope and coke and got away from the everyday copping and doing things that I shouldn’t have been doing as far as risk taking involved with that lifestyle. I loved my methadone and was a model patient .. I ended up on a 1 time a week pick up schedule and being that my social life was a non issue as i was concentrating on raising my now 9 year old so it didn’t really interfere with anything.
As my boy got older and as time healed wounds of mine I began to socialize a bit  and found a musical scene that I loved and through that a new group of amazing folks to hang with … and travel  with  now my 1 time a week schedule didn’t seem quite so convenient but when i needed to my counselor set me up with visits I have been to the Denver clinic, the Berkley clinic, the santa Rosa clinic, the Nashville clinic, and others in my travels  i started to think maybe it would be easier if i didn’t have to use this medicine ….hmmmm
Then I started feeling the emotional dullness ….I realized I never ever ever remember my dreams (I assume i have some) and I used to dream so powerfully and loved it. i feel that the methadone is an emotional crippler. I am not feeling my life. I am not expressing my life as i should. I also have a huge energy problem I cant seem to find the motivation to do the things I need to do and even the things I want to do. I cant seem to get the motivation to do things  that would make my life easier i self sabotage all the time not paying bills when the money is there putting off doing paperwork until it is a whole new bigger mess. Pay a ticket before a penalty is added HA! never! not this fucked up methadone freak.
I attribute a lot of this …what I call an Inertia problem as in an object (me) at rest stays at rest until acted upon by another) to my methadone I mean  how can being in an opiated state for 9 years NOT screw with your motivation and energy levels????
So somehow I stumble onto this list and Howard and Patrick and watch as it goes from a list of a few people who have done Ibo and a whole lot who are thinking  and reading about it to a list of people who are DOING Ibo and/or scheduling a treatment…it has been a wondrous thing to watch.
We have so many truly knowledgeable folks on this list so i figured I would put out a few questions I have to the list…
Aftercare- such an important part of Ibogaine therapy this we know. I feel that as a person who hasn’t been in an “active” heroin using state (not going to cop everyday et al) that being I live in a stable environment and wouldn’t even know where to get a bog of dope if i wanted to-that i am not in the kind of ‘danger ‘ that someone whop is living in a dope hood would be or someone  who has just a week or so before (dosing with ibogaine) was copping dope everyday   would be. BUT I still know that being opiate free for the first time in so many years can still be a dangerous place for me. So i want ti have in place a consoler preferably a psychiatrist (that is who my health benefits will cover) for my post Ibo help. I have seen many names thrown out but one more time if any or all of you can one more time send out the names of those here in the NYC area for aftercare that would be understanding of the unique space that those post Ibogaine are in.
Also an MD I think that I may find that these now 45 year old bones have been happily hiding behind the methadone. I have  very bad knees and work in construction for over 20 years now and any one in this business knows that 20 years on the job takes a toll on you so…I may need to address some physical issues as well. Again I want to go to a Dr. that I can be 100% honest with about Ibogaine and any other doper related issues that may arise.
I tend to keep secrets like so manyof us addicts and haven’t been to a DR psych or dentist that I could be hones within many many years. So any names out there among you in the know will be most appreciated.
Nutrition and vitamin natropathic ….Another avenue to explore and another request for a name or two of those in the ibogaine loop so to speak.
I will let you all know when I am going to be dosing so you will be hearing from me again before that time. I thankyou all for being here

No offense Julie, but the death toll of this war does not even compare to the hundreds of thousands (some say millions) of innocent Kurds and others this mad man gassed to death. Not counting Kuwait, either. Not counting starving his own people while he had a palace on every block. And look who was poised to take over. His mad dog animal sons, who raped women and killed their husbands for fun. And I do believe there are a lot more people than you think that are glad we are there. I think i’d choose free elections and democracy anyday. Get rid of the pockets of insurgents, which will happen, and it will go smoother. We’re better off, they are better off, all of the region is better off. I hope Osama is right behind him rotting in hell. I’ll admit he’s been lucky so far. But his luck will run out, too.

Very Funny!

High Morals and Ethics?

Does that include using influence to avoid Vietnam, then turning around and attempting to smear someone WHO ACTUALLY SERVED?

Does that include cashing out from Harkin with a tidy profit DAYS BEFORE HARKIN WENT BELLY UP? (leaving employees and shareholders empty handed!)

Does that include the Bush family legacy of profiteering from oil and Munitions manufacture? (munitions used to de-stabilize countries who just so happen to have LOTS of oil under their soil)

Does that include having the notorious reputation of residing over the highest amount of state executions (150) while he was Gov of Texas? (more than any other Gov in the history of the US!)

Does that include deceiving a Nation into going to war? and shifting rhyme and reason each time their rational is exposed to be false? All the while thumbing his nose at our long-standing Allies?

Does that include turning a blind eye to the Bin Laden family (and other “sensitive” Saudi’s) being allowed to leave the country only hours after 9-11 when the rest of the country is under a no-fly order?

Does that include stomping on Afghanistan and quickly departing to get Saddams oil, leaving the afghan war lords largely in charge to grow their Poppies so they can put more heroin on the streets of Europe and the Eastern US than has been seen in years?

Does that include the fact that Bush and everyone in his administration are corporate crooks and lobbyists with only one goal: to fill their greedy little small minded pockets with the payola of their mega corporation sponsors? Who also are hell-bent on removing Democracy from the table of America?

Describe to me the “Morals and High Ethics” at Guantanamo and Abu Grahib? (or the legal counsel Bush sought to exonerate himself and cabinet members from torture accountability – before the detainees arrived???)

Does that include opening up the countries last remaining nature preserves to Lumber and Fossil Fuel exploitation?

Refusing to sign the Kyoto agreement?

If so, I suppose “Morals and High Ethics” has taken on a whole new meaning

I am pro-choice. and given that the worlds population is about to double in the next 10 years, birth control and abortion aren’t such a bad thing. Oh wait, of course the ultra right corpo’s don’t want abortions! that means less consumers, which means less profits! Less cattle to consume twinkies and FOX News. Less disillusioned youth who will eventually stick a needle in their arm. we can’t have that!  MORE is better!

Consume!

Reproduce!

Obey!

Hi Julie,

I live in Lincoln which is in the East Midlands, UK.  A little, slightly backward town 😉 I really can’t wait, I can’t get hold of ANY of my drugs up there so I have to be good-there’s no temptation.  (We are taking some nice weed with us though)  Lots of cuddly time with my boyf too which we both need.  🙂  It is proper romantic poet countryside, especially this time of year with all the leaves red and gold.  When your around Dove Cottage where Wordsworth lived you can shut your eyes and imagine you’re back in time!  You can really see what inspired him!

Love Hannah

Dear Hannah,

I am so jealous!  You know, an out of country trip during the post-acute phase is always a major blessing, and I’m sure you’ll find it very rewarding.  Take a lot of sweaters, cuz England can get pretty cold due to the humidity.

I’ve always wanted to hike the Lake District, to take the path of so many Romantic poets like Coleridge, Byron, and Woodsworth.

You are so lucky,
Julie

Subject: why wasn’t this in the newspapers?

As I head off to Baghdad for the final weeks
of my stay in Iraq, I wanted to say thanks to
all of you who did not believe the media.
They have done a very poor job of covering
everything that has happened. I am sorry that
I have not been able to visit all of you
during my two week leave back home.
And just so you can rest at night knowing
something is happening in Iraq that is noteworthy,
I thought I would pass this on to you.
This is the list of things that has happened
in Iraq recently:
(Please share it with your friends and compare
it to the version that your paper is producing.)

* Over 400,000 kids have up-to-date immunizations

* School attendance is up 80% from levels before the war.

* Over 1,500 schools have been renovated and rid of
the weapons stored there so education can occur.

* The port of Uhm Qasar was renovated so grain can be
off-loaded from ships faster.

* The country had its first 2 billion barrel export
of oil in August.

* Over 4.5 million people have clean drinking water
for the first time ever in Iraq.

* The country now receives 2 times the electrical
power it did before the war.

* 100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed,
compared to 35% before the war.

* Elections are taking place in every major city,
and city councils are in place.

* Sewer and water lines are installed in every
major city.

* Over 60,000 police are patrolling the streets.

* Over 100,000 Iraqi civil defense police are
securing the country.

* Over 80,000 Iraqi soldiers are patrolling the
streets side by side with US soldiers.

* Over 400,000 people have telephones for the
first time ever.

* Students are taught field sanitation and
hand washing techniques to prevent the spread
of germs.

* An interim constitution has been signed.

* Girls are allowed to attend school.

* Textbooks that don’t mention Saddam are in
the schools for the first time in 30 years.

Don’t believe for one second that these people
do not want us there. I have met many, many
people from Iraq that want us there, and in
a bad way. They say they will never see the
freedoms we talk about but they hope their
children will. We are doing a good job in Iraq
and I challenge anyone, anywhere to dispute me
on these facts. If you are like me and very
disgusted with how this period of rebuilding
has been portrayed, email this to a friend and
let them know there are good things happening.

Ya know,

It never ceases to amaze me how the right becomes
morally indignant over abortion and stem cell issues,
yet remains nonplussed, almost completely unfazed, by
the death count of this bullshit war!  What about the
tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians who lost their
lives?  Out of sight, out of mind, right?

It seems very hypocritical to me to condemn one form
of murder yet condone another, when in fact they are
somewhat similar.

Anyone who would vote for a man who orchestrated a
whole war in order to secure profits and oil for
himself and the old boys club, is an idiot, in my
humble opinion.

Carla,

I agree.  We Canadians are avidly following the
election, because we also fear another four years
with
that inbred, uncultured redneck.  Personally, I
can’t
imagine why any intelligent person would cast a
vote
for that wanker(Bush).  There will be street
parties
in Toronto if Kerry takes the election.

George Bush is a LIAR, a MANIPULATOR, and a
complete
and utter sham.  He and Cheney need to stick to the
skin bars, and leave the decision making to a more
competent individual.  Kerry may not be perfect,
but
at least his main concern isn’t enriching his fat
cat
prick friends.

Faith, have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

I a can tell you why.
Because George Bush is strong and has high morals and ethics, and he won’t sink to the level to “talk purdy” and say whatever someone wants to hear to get a vote.  You can tell a person’s level of moral development, and worth, by how they take up for those who can’t take up for themselves, and how they will do the right things for people even though those people are so ignorant they can’t see it.  Anyone who will vote for partial-birth abortion is a terriorist.  The safest place for a human on earth should be it’s Maother’s womb.

Thanks for all this info-I’m really glad I’m on this list.  My Doctor GUARANTEED me that I would not get withdrawals from Subutex (I wish I’d got it in writing!)  All the staff at my clinic say that its nit addictive.  They put you on maintenance every time and then they only have to think about the taper ina year or so’s time!  They get really arsey if you start questioning their methods, however subtley.  Things change slowly in this litlle town.
Thanks again,

Suboxone and alike are absolutely very addictive. 0.3 of Bup injected is equal to 8 mgs of morphine. I have seen many get addicted to Bup and they are not happy. As it is a mixed agonist / antagonist, it is on and off the receptor so you are okay and then not and then okay and then not again. I feel it is a poor maintenance drug and is addicting.
Be off of Bup/ Subox for at least 14 days prior to IBO. It has weird metabolites that stick around that long and can effect how IBO and noribo bind to the opiate receptors.

Switch over to short acting opiates 2 weeks prior to Ibo if you are on Bup.

Dear Hannah,

I am so jealous!  You know, an out of country trip during the post-acute phase is always a major blessing, and I’m sure you’ll find it very rewarding.  Take a lot of sweaters, cuz England can get pretty cold due to the humidity.

I’ve always wanted to hike the Lake District, to take the path of so many Romantic poets like Coleridge, Byron, and Woodsworth.

You are so lucky,

Ron,
I think there were some posts earlier today about Ibo and benzos, and the common consensus seems to be that Ibo doesn’t relieve benzo withdrawal- something about acting on different receptors.
I have heard benzo withdrawal is way worse than opiate, and am so thankful I haven’t had to go through that.  I have also heard some ‘messages from the underground’ about using GHB to combat both benzo and alcohol withdrawal, but these claims seem to be only partially substantiated.  Search for an Italian study about GHB and alcohol withdrawal- check Entrez Med, or PubMed.
Quite honestly, most doctors don’t know shit about withdrawal, unless they are an expert in that area.  Like you said, many of them are out to line their pocketbooks, and to evade prosecution.  You will probably find more real information from someone who has already kicked benzos.  There are a few good forums online, but I forget the addresses.  I’ll look into it for you.
cheers, Julie

Thanks Randy,
I just felt silly cuz after a good night’s sleep things didn’t seem so bad.  Both our guests have agreed to spend only one week of every two at mine so that’ll be much better.  I’m also on Day 4 and my cravings have eased off slightly (touch wood) and I feel a bit better.  I took my dog for a long walk today to get outdoors and its really starting to feel wintery-cold and clear.  I love it like this.  And in a couple of weeks I’ll be in the Lake District in the middle of nowhere in a climbing hut-basic but lots of log fires (some of my family will be there but I hope it’ll go ok)  I can’t wait.  Standing in woodland listening to the rain drip from the branches around you and not being able to hear anything but distant sheep bleeting….and then coming in from the cold to squeeze round a fire and eat, drink and be merry….

As you can see I’m feeling alot more chirpy (my boyf’s paying, not me!).  I couldn’t believe how kind you all were to me and I’m very grateful. People on this list are cool.  I guess that goes to show that there ARE sound people out there-they won’t either dismiss me for being a junkie or rip me off!  I’m gonna have to start getting out more!

Love to you all.  Happy Samhain!

bush bites, but this forum should be non political.  i live in the florida panhandle and have watched every politician elected as a democrat convert to republican once theygot the whitehouse and congress.  i would opine that most voters make their decisons on sound bites and political ads.  listen and read the tripe and you’ll see each candidate doing the same thing in their campaigns.  think any of the candidates would embrace the members of this forum?  a bunch of ex or recovered junkies?  think any of them would endorse ibo or the legalization of any class 1 drug?  methadones’s cool b/c the pharmacutical industry is behind it.  alcohol is ok b/c it’s a “legitimate” part of our culture and people make billions from its sales. i’m just a rusty old public defender who has been practicing for 20 years and 99% of my caseload is drug and alcohol  related in some fashion which is further exacerbated by the unbridled populaton growth which no elected offical or judge dare comment on, except for the few that are federal judges who have lifetime appointments.  even those are reluctant if they have aspirations for a higher appointment. to the unaddicted or well heeled alkie, most on this forum would be an unwelcommed dinner guest.  BUSH IS KILLING US AND KERRY WILL DO THE SAME, BOTH LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. rwd, an over worked schmuck who has watched this culture turn its back on helping helping people and now just wants to punish.  hey, what happened to that huge fed surplus that gave us tiny refunds and large corporations millions? i am
54, fighting for my life and worrying if i’ll 1) live to receive social security and 2)  if there will be any left if i make it.  i was a junkie who started drinking at 12 , shooting dope at 16 and then somehow pulled out.  later i got tripped  when a doc prescribedbenzos and now i’m really cooked.  ever read the ama detox protocal  for comming off benzos?  every m.d i know is consumed by the fear of being sued yet all make thousands more a year than the rest of the poulation, most are afraid to try anything new b/c of the potential lawsuit or possible prosecution for violating our barbaric drug laws.  i have been on both sides of the barbedwire( which i disclosed when applying for lawschool andlater admission to the bar) so i have some basis to render an informed opinion.  druggies are the weak link in the food chain and noone gives a rat’s behind about them as to really finding a cure. having ranted for so long, can anyone on this forum tell me if IBO works on benzo w/d’s?  this stuff is worse than any withdrawal i have experienced .  i w/d from junk, methadone and oxys and want to be totally chemically free.  this crap, legal or prescribed hancuffs an addict,and folks if you’ve read this far thanks, which limits my place in the world. let us all hope the right , rich and spoiled candidate wins.

I dont know what country you live in but this isn’t

is separation of church and state, there’s some dumb

not even going there.

If you don’t support the right of women to control
their own bodies or have abortions then I suggest you
don’t get one. Nobody elected you god or judge over
everyone else.

Why are you even on the ibogaine list? are you on
heroin or someone in your family? Does Bush and
fundamentalis christianity approve of drug addicts now
or did I miss something? Won’t the junkies be in the
same line to the gas ovens with the homosexuals,
blacks, women who have had abortions???

Ok. But in India 2,000,000 women get raped buy police officers each year when they come to ask for help.
after getting the dowry many are killed by the own new husband.
Many women sleep on a small cloth on the streets, breast feed on the street, beg for food and have no health care or education.
They are sold to prostitution houses. And get bitten by their owner.
in Ethiopia woman die after being circumcised with rusty razor blades, people are barbaric towards women all over the world,
They always have been, even in the Netherlands. it all come down to sex, abuse, and  men who like to think of themselves as superior to women.

Yes sir, what opportunities for women abound in IRAQ.
After the 1991 Gulf War and economic embargos were applied, living conditions for women in Iraq began to deteriorate. The declining economy caused many women to lose their jobs and abandon their education. Girls and women today are now facing a major learning gap and there has been a sharp decline in adult female literacy. Many women in Iraq now focus all their efforts in search of food and clean water to ensure their family’s survival. Some women have even resorted to prostitution to provide for their children and families.
Current Status of Women in Iraq
The movement for women in Iraw has greatly suffered due to sanctions and anti-women legislation imposed by Hussein’s regime since the mid-90s. Under Islamic law, the punishment for a women who commits adultery is death. But women in Iraq are also being murdered for fighting with their husbands, having a relationship with a man outside marriage, and for being raped, because this brings shame on the family. Women have been stoned to death in public, disabled, disfigured and/or kidnapped. Women have even been kept hostage in their own homes.
According to the Iraq Foundation Web site “The rights of women in Iraq are going down the drain, along with everything else … In 1998, Saddam ordered all women secretaries working in government agencies be dismissed. Now there are new laws barring women from work altogether.”

I believe that most of these statements are simply lies. Iraq is in total
chaos.  What seemed like a good decision to let the Iraqi army slip away when we
invaded has come back to haunt us.  Bush has not waged war competently and my
greatest fear is not his foreign policy but, his destruction of democracy in
this country.   As for Kerry, I wish we had a better choice and I anticipate
that not only will Kerry continue the war but, will have to escalate it rather
than leave a new rogue government in power.  But, then maybe the baathists and
Kerry can work out a deal and turn Iraq over to the remnants of Saddam
Hussein’s regime.  Not good for the Kurds who have supported us or the Shi’ites who
were suppressed by Hussein.  The Bush regime is a money grab for his family and
pals.  Where do you think the cash causing our multi trillion dollar debt is
going?

I have not been able to visit all of you
during my two week leave back home.
And just so you can rest at night knowing
something is happening in Iraq that is noteworthy,
I thought I would pass this on to you.
This is the list of things that has happened
in Iraq recently:
(Please share it with your friends and compare
it to the version that your paper is producing.)

* Over 400,000 kids have up-to-date immunizations

* School attendance is up 80% from levels before the war.

* Over 1,500 schools have been renovated and rid of
the weapons stored there so education can occur.

* The port of Uhm Qasar was renovated so grain can be
off-loaded from ships faster.

* The country had its first 2 billion barrel export
of oil in August.

* Over 4.5 million people have clean drinking water
for the first time ever in Iraq.

* The country now receives 2 times the electrical
power it did before the war.

* 100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed,
compared to 35% before the war.

* Elections are taking place in every major city,
and city councils are in place.

* Sewer and water lines are installed in every
major city.

* Over 60,000 police are patrolling the streets.

* Over 100,000 Iraqi civil defense police are
securing the country.

* Over 80,000 Iraqi soldiers are patrolling the
streets side by side with US soldiers.

* Over 400,000 people have telephones for the
first time ever.

* Students are taught field sanitation and
hand washing techniques to prevent the spread
of germs.

* An interim constitution has been signed.

* Girls are allowed to attend school.

* Textbooks that don’t mention Saddam are in
the schools for the first time in 30 years.

Don’t believe for one second that these people
do not want us there. I have met many, many
people from Iraq that want us there, and in
a bad way. They say they will never see the
freedoms we talk about but they hope their
children will. We are doing a good job in Iraq
and I challenge anyone, anywhere to dispute me

Hi Howard,

1) At how many hours from your start point of taking ibogaine would you say
it was fully effective?  Around the 3 hour I felt completely anesthetized- no withdrawal, just a bit of yawning.

2) How would you describe “fully effective?”  I have never been able to get off opiates this easily.  Even though I feel a bit weak and sleepless, I am 100 times better than I would be cold-turkeying.  I have a bit of residual withdrawal, but only 10-15% of what I would have had otherwise.

3) Did you visualize?Yes.  It came in peaks and valleys, and would usually begin about 30 minutes after my ingestions, and last for 2-3 hours.

4) If so what did you see?  This time was a bit darker than last.  I still saw strange faces, but also some gruesome scenes- I saw a guy getting decapitated.  As his head was severed, his soul ‘flew’ out of his neck and up to the sky.  I also saw a few monsters, and relived/reflected on a few melancholy events from my life.

5) How are you feeling today? Tired, a bit achey, and grumpy.  I just took a trazodone, and seem to be feeling a bit better.  The insomnia is getting to me, though.

6) Who determined which medications you would take? My doctor gave me trazodone, clonidine, arthrotec, loperamide and gravol.  I decided to get a script for Wellbutrin, as it has helped before.  However, it seems to perpetuate and inflame the symptoms, so I have discontinued it.

Howard, feel free to use any part of my story for your website.  And muchas gracias for bringing this miracle to the modern world.

Girls are allowed to attend school.

It’s always been that way, there are plenty of educated Iraki women.

My mother has been to the university of Bagdad in the early 50′.

She study to become a lawyer. Her sisters went to school too in the 40′.

This has nothing to do with the Americans occupation.

Faith,
Why in this country of so called opportunity and wealth and prospects, are there so many people who “can’t take up for themselves? ”  I’ll bet you anything that when the whites are the minority they will definitley come up with another word to describe that status.  Just the word connotates lack of empowerment.  If politicians want to help those who can’t stand up for themselves maybe they can come up with something that alters the mindset ,that implements the behavior, that requires so many of these abortions. Change the status quo.  Stop generational habits of how we treat or limit a persons positive  abilities.  Get rid of the victim mentality that most have.  I’ve seen it consume every aspect of every moment in the life of some.  I’ve seen it dictate direction and choices over and over.  Fear based, victim mentality.  Wounds Wound and  more wounds.  Look to your son to see what and where his wounds came from.  That is the base for addiction and dysfunctional behavior.  Being brainwashed and cult material is another one.
Everyone wants to blame everyone else for the problems in their camp.  As a participant you are also doing the tango.
With all due respect,
Martee

I a can tell you why.
Because George Bush is strong and has high morals and ethics, and he won’t sink to the level to “talk purdy” and say whatever someone wants to hear to get a vote.  You can tell a person’s level of moral development, and worth, by how they take up for those who can’t take up for themselves, and how they will do the right things for people even though those people are so ignorant they can’t see it.  Anyone who will vote for partial-birth abortion is a terriorist.  The safest place for a human on earth should be it’s Maother’s womb.

Carla,

I agree.  We Canadians are avidly following the
election, because we also fear another four years with
that inbred, uncultured redneck.  Personally, I can’t
imagine why any intelligent person would cast a vote
for that wanker(Bush).  There will be street parties
in Toronto if Kerry takes the election.

George Bush is a LIAR, a MANIPULATOR, and a complete
and utter sham.  He and Cheney need to stick to the
skin bars, and leave the decision making to a more
competent individual.  Kerry may not be perfect, but
at least his main concern isn’t enriching his fat cat
prick friends.

Faith, have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

Ya know,

It never ceases to amaze me how the right becomes
morally indignant over abortion and stem cell issues,
yet remains nonplussed, almost completely unfazed, by
the death count of this bullshit war!  What about the
tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians who lost their
lives?  Out of sight, out of mind, right?

It seems very hypocritical to me to condemn one form
of murder yet condone another, when in fact they are
somewhat similar.

Anyone who would vote for a man who orchestrated a
whole war in order to secure profits and oil for
himself and the old boys club, is an idiot, in my
humble opinion.

Some questions if I may?

1) At how many hours from your start point of taking ibogaine would you say

2) How would you describe “fully effective?”

3) Did you visualize?

4) If so what did you see?

5) How are you feeling today?

6) Who determined which medications you would take? (names not required –
only status, doctor, provider, pharmacist, prior prescriptions)

Thanks

I can’t believe it- I have been opiate free since
Tuesday, 10pm.  I had to reschedule my treatment for
Wednesday, 12pm, at which time I ingested 350ml of
Ibogaine HCL, and 175ml every hour or so thereafter,
to 1000mg, total.  The music therapy aspect was SO
rewarding- it calmed me throughout the whole
treatment, and reduced the freakier parts into mere
afterthoughts.

Guys/gals, I can’t believe the difference between my
two treatments.  Other than lethargy, low energy, and
a few uncomfortable moments(hot/cold flashes,
piloerection, periodic insomnia, aches), the last two
days have been a breeze.  I would say the Ibo
treatment reduced my symptoms by 85-90%.  I have been
able to grab naps for 2-4 hours in duration, and last
night I was able to sleep for approximately 6 hours!
On the second day after ceasing my opiate intake!

Hot baths and meds really helped too- trazadone and
clonidine together seemed to really tranquilize and
sedate my body, mind and soul, especially throughout
the tougher parts.

I was able to eat a Swiss Chalet quarter chicken
dinner yesterday, and have started on a brief, short
term regiment of light antidepressants(Wellbutrin
100mg/sr) which have worked miracles with my energy
levels.  Listening to music is amazing- I have been
digging Air, Talvin Singh, the Clash, and of course,
Radiohead.  Return to Brixton is especially blowing my
mind!

Howard, thanks for bringing this miracle to the
masses; Patrick, thanks for making this discussion
list possible;  And to everyong else: thanks for the
support, and for just being YOU.

love Julie

Ya know,

It never ceases to amaze me how the right becomes
morally indignant over abortion and stem cell issues,
yet remains nonplussed, almost completely unfazed, by
the death count of this bullshit war!  What about the
tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians who lost their
lives?  Out of sight, out of mind, right?

It seems very hypocritical to me to condemn one form
of murder yet condone another, when in fact they are
somewhat similar.

Anyone who would vote for a man who orchestrated a
whole war in order to secure profits and oil for
himself and the old boys club, is an idiot, in my
humble opinion.

Mr. Bush is try his radioactive weapon, were else can he try them? And on
who? he had to create an enemy to be able to check out the affectivity of
His weapons and his army, and to invest more money into defense and new war
technologies.
You see, mr. Izgy it is an huge industry and they do need the petrol to fly
f-16 and drive those war machines they don’t happened to work on solar
energy.

Bush wants to show the rest of the world his military power, and so he did,
but
Shame on what and who’s account. His own soldiers are suffering from the
same radioactive weapon they are using against their “enemies”.
The whole region is going to die of cancer sooner or later and all the
people who went to Irak will suffer for it too.
This is not a war with sticks this is a war which leaves traces years after
it will be finished.
Mr. bush is suffering from brain damage so he doesn’t even understand
himself, what the hell he is doing in Irak.
If you need to get one man why would you need to have so many soldiers.
For sure the Israelis could trace his phone calls to his wife who is in
Lebanon. That wasn’t too difficult for them to do. They don’t need an army
For that.they don’t need an army to find weapon for mass distraction
Because there was no one who could work this kind of weapon in Irak, without
the
American knowledge who sold it to Sadam in the first place.
Just as well as the pilots terrorist who learn how to fly into the w.t.c
Learn that in the US. how come they didn’t learn to land. what kind of
flying lessons they got?
selling a weapon of mass distraction to a dictator but without instruction
how to use it, and then regret of selling it to him, and go bankruptcy to
get that back.

He’s been America’s most unorthodox political commentator for more
than 30 years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush presidency is
evil beyond belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America
is too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am
one of them. Election day – especially when it’s a presidential
election – is always a wild and terrifying time for politics junkies,
and I am one of those, too. We look forward to major election days
like sex addicts look forward to orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the winners. They are not
the ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the votes are finally
counted and the losers are forced to get down on their knees. No. The
slaves who emerge victorious from these drastic public decisions go
crazy with joy and plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled
Cristal champagne with naked strangers who want to be close to a
winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You see it every time.
The weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing their jobs and
money and all the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It is
like suddenly losing your wife and your home in a vagrant poker game,
then having to go on the road with whoremongers and beg for your
dinner in public. Nobody wants to hire a loser. Right? They stink of
doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It’s making me sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in to apply for a
job, but we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him down to
the parking lot and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new enemies list? I
want them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist sympathisers, and
most of them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come over here and
kneel down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni, vidi, vici,
especially among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin saying:
“As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white men,
and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the
meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid
warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with
wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any
candidate who ever ran against George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards,
John McCain – all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty
tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the United States, and Al
Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to
demolish anything that got in his way, including the US Supreme
Court. It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick
Cheney & Halliburton Inc) controls all three branches of our federal
government today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die
than lose the election in November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what
happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had no
response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has always been the
case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the
Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation
into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard
Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his
ridiculous “trickle-down” theory of US economic policy. If the rich
get richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and

somehow “trickle down” to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off
the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have
never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to
pre-industrial America, when only white male property owners could
vote.

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush comes from. Houston
is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning
laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby,
sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and
super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West – which
can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three
presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The
other one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas,
which has no laws against any deviant practice not specifically
forbidden in the New Testament, including anal incest and public
cunnilingus with farm animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US Senate, Lyndon Johnson
was running about 10 points behind, with only nine days to go. He was
desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday, they say, when he
called his equally depressed campaign manager and told him to call a
press conference for just before lunch on a slow news day and accuse
his high-riding opponent, a pig farmer, of having routine carnal
knowledge of his sows, despite the pleas of his wife and children.

His campaign manager was shocked. “We can’t say that, Lyndon,” he
supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

“Of course it’s not!” Johnson barked. “But let’s make the bastard
deny it!”

Johnson – a Democrat, like Bill Clinton – won that election by fewer
than 100 votes, and after that he was home free. He went on to rule
Texas and the US Senate for 20 years and to be the most powerful vice
president in the history of the United States. Until now.

Armageddon came early for George Bush this year, and he was not ready
for it. His long-awaited showdowns with John Kerry turned into a
series of embarrassments that broke his nerve and demoralised his
closest campaign advisers. They knew he would never recover, no
matter how many votes they could steal for him in Florida, where the
presidential debates were closely watched and widely celebrated by
millions of Kerry supporters who suddenly had reason to feel like
winners.

Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog with almost no
chance of winning three out of three rigged confrontations with a
treacherous little freak like George Bush. But the debates are over
now, and the victor was John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush
and left him for roadkill.

Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a
donkey with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in Coral Gables,
when Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with
Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful… I
almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him “Mister
President”, and then I felt ashamed.

Karl Rove, the President’s political wizard, felt even worse. There
is angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the bowels of the
White House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its name is George
Bush. The president failed miserably from the instant he got onstage
with John Kerry. He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong
in Coral Gables, then again in St Louis and Tempe. That is Rove’s
problem. His candidate is a weak-minded frat boy who cracks under
pressure in front of 60 million voters.

Bush signed his own death warrant in the opening round, when he
finally had to speak without his teleprompter. It was a Cinderella
story brought up to date in Florida that night – except this time,
the false prince turned back into a frog.

Immediately after the first debate ended, I called Muhammad Ali at
his home in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ was
laughing so hard that he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate
really cracked him up,” he chuckled. “The champ loves a good
ass-whuppin’. He says Bush looked so scared to fight, he finally just
quit and laid down.”

This year’s first presidential debate was such a disaster for George
Bush that his handlers had to be crazy to let him get in the ring
with John Kerry again. Yet Karl Rove let it happen, and we can only
wonder why. But there is no doubt that the president has lost his
nerve, and his career in the White House is finished. No mas.

Indeed. The numbers are weird today, and so is this dangerous
election. The time has come to rumble, to inject a bit of fun into
politics. That’s exactly what the debates did. John Kerry looked like
a winner, and it energised his troops. Voting for Kerry is starting
to look like serious fun for everyone except poor George, who now
looks like a loser. That is fatal in a presidential election.

I look at elections with the cool and dispassionate gaze of a
professional gambler, especially when I’m betting real money on the
outcome. Contrary to most conventional wisdom, I see Kerry with five
points as a recommended risk. Kerry will win this election, if it
happens, by a bigger margin than Bush finally gouged out of Florida
in 2000. That was about 46 per cent, plus five points for owning the
US Supreme Court – which seemed to equal 51 per cent. Nobody really
believed that, but George W Bush moved into the White House anyway.

It was the most brutal seizure of power since Hitler burned the
Reichstag in 1933 and declared himself the new boss of Germany. Karl
Rove is no stranger to Nazi strategy, if only because it worked for a
while, and it was sure fun for Hitler. But not for long. He ran out
of oil, the whole world hated him, and he liked to gobble pure
crystal biphetamine and stay awake for eight days in a row with his
maps and bombers and his dope-addled general staff.

They all loved the whiff. It is the perfect drug for war, as long as
you are winning, and Hitler thought he was king of the hill forever.
He had created a new master race, and every one of them worshipped
him. They were fanatics. That was 66 years ago, and things are not
much different today. We still love war.

George Bush certainly does. In four short years he has turned our
country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted
nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States,
and you’re not. Love it or leave it.

BULLETIN: KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR THOMPSON JOINS DEMOCRAT IN
CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILIS PRESIDENT”.

“Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of
syphilis,” the famed author said yesterday at a hastily called press
conference near his home in Woody Creek, Colorado.

“Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous loser like Bush.
He hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will vote against
him in November.” Thompson, well known for the eerie accuracy of his
political instincts, went on to denounce Ralph Nader as “a worthless
Judas goat with no moral compass.”

“I endorsed John Kerry a long time ago,” he said, “and I will do
everything in my power, short of roaming the streets with a meat
hammer, to help him be the next president of the United States.”

Which is true. I said all those things, and I will say them again. Of
course I will vote for John Kerry. I have known him for 30 years as a
good man with a brave heart – which is more than even the President’s
friends will tell you about George W Bush, who is also an old
acquaintance from the white-knuckle days of yesteryear. He is hated
all over the world, including large parts of Texas, and he is taking
us all down with him. Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich
daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music,
football and sex, and he is no fun at all.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I won’t make that mistake again.
The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to
the dead. Nader is a fool, as is anybody who votes for him in
November – with the obvious exception of professional Republicans who
have paid big money to turn him into a world-famous Judas goat. Nader
is so desperate that he’s paying homeless people to gather signatures
to get him on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, the petitions he submitted
contained tens of thousands of phoney signatures, including Fred
Flintstone, Mickey Mouse and John Kerry. A judge dumped Ralph from
the ballot there, calling it “the most deceitful and fraudulent
exercise ever perpetrated upon this court”.

But they will keep his name on the ballot in the long-suffering
Hurricane State, which is ruled by the President’s younger brother,
Jeb, who also wants to be the next president of the United States. In
2000, when they sent Jim Baker to Florida, I knew it was all over. In
that election, 97,488 people voted for Nader in Florida, and Gore
lost the state by 537 votes. You don’t have to be from Texas to
understand the moral of that story. It’s like being out-coached in
the Super Bowl. Only losers play fair, and all winners have blood on
their hands.

Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel like a winner, we
had a quick rendezvous on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen, Colorado,
where he was scheduled to meet a harem of wealthy campaign
contributors. I told him that Bush’s vicious goons in the White House
are perfectly capable of assassinating Nader and blaming it on him.
His staff laughed, but the Secret Service men didn’t. Kerry suggested
I might make a good running mate, and we reminisced about trying to
end the Vietnam War in 1972.

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little
street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn
and I was trying to throw a dead rat over a black-spike fence and on
to the President’s lawn. We were angry and righteous in those days,
and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out
because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and
we stomped on Richard Nixon – which wise people said was impossible,
but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was
strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do
is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those
crooked warmongers out of the White House.

Zoloft is easy to get . Start at 25 mgs every Am  for 1 week . Then on day #8 go to 50 mgs. Most people need 75-100mgs per day. Increases are made every 5 -7 days till stable.

Also ask for 2.5 mgs. Zyprexa. Take anywhere from 2.5 -7.5 mgs i hour prior to sleep or for a panic attack when needed. Start at the lowest dose as it can make you very lethargic. Check w/ your doc if this med is okay for you to take. You can use it as needed and it is not addictive. At high dosages it it a antipsychotic but don’t let this sway you. It will get you throufg the post acute benzo hell.

hang in there. it passes with time and you will feel well again.

than 30 years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush presidency is
evil beyond belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America
is too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am
one of them. Election day – especially when it’s a presidential
election – is always a wild and terrifying time for politics junkies,
and I am one of those, too. We look forward to major election days
like sex addicts look forward to orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the winners. They are not
the ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the votes are finally
counted and the losers are forced to get down on their knees. No. The
slaves who emerge victorious from these drastic public decisions go
crazy with joy and plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled
Cristal champagne with naked strangers who want to be close to a
winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You see it every time.
The weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing their jobs and
money and all the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It is
like suddenly losing your wife and your home in a vagrant poker game,
then having to go on the road with whoremongers and beg for your
dinner in public. Nobody wants to hire a loser. Right? They stink of
doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It’s making me sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in to apply for a
job, but we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him down to
the parking lot and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new enemies list? I
want them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist sympathisers, and
most of them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come over here and
kneel down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni, vidi, vici,
especially among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin saying:
“As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white men,
and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the
meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid
warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with
wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any
candidate who ever ran against George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards,
John McCain – all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty
tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the United States, and Al
Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to
demolish anything that got in his way, including the US Supreme
Court. It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick
Cheney & Halliburton Inc) controls all three branches of our federal
government today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die
than lose the election in November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what
happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had no
response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has always been the
case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the
Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation
into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard
Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his
ridiculous “trickle-down” theory of US economic policy. If the rich
get richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and

somehow “trickle down” to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off
the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have
never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to
pre-industrial America, when only white male property owners could
vote.

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush comes from. Houston
is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning
laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby,
sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and
super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West – which
can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three
presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The
other one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas,
which has no laws against any deviant practice not specifically
forbidden in the New Testament, including anal incest and public
cunnilingus with farm animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US Senate, Lyndon Johnson
was running about 10 points behind, with only nine days to go. He was
desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday, they say, when he
called his equally depressed campaign manager and told him to call a
press conference for just before lunch on a slow news day and accuse
his high-riding opponent, a pig farmer, of having routine carnal
knowledge of his sows, despite the pleas of his wife and children.

His campaign manager was shocked. “We can’t say that, Lyndon,” he
supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

“Of course it’s not!” Johnson barked. “But let’s make the bastard
deny it!”

Johnson – a Democrat, like Bill Clinton – won that election by fewer
than 100 votes, and after that he was home free. He went on to rule
Texas and the US Senate for 20 years and to be the most powerful vice
president in the history of the United States. Until now.

Armageddon came early for George Bush this year, and he was not ready
for it. His long-awaited showdowns with John Kerry turned into a
series of embarrassments that broke his nerve and demoralised his
closest campaign advisers. They knew he would never recover, no
matter how many votes they could steal for him in Florida, where the
presidential debates were closely watched and widely celebrated by
millions of Kerry supporters who suddenly had reason to feel like
winners.

Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog with almost no
chance of winning three out of three rigged confrontations with a
treacherous little freak like George Bush. But the debates are over
now, and the victor was John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush
and left him for roadkill.

Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a
donkey with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in Coral Gables,
when Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with
Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful… I
almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him “Mister
President”, and then I felt ashamed.

Karl Rove, the President’s political wizard, felt even worse. There
is angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the bowels of the
White House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its name is George
Bush. The president failed miserably from the instant he got onstage
with John Kerry. He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong
in Coral Gables, then again in St Louis and Tempe. That is Rove’s
problem. His candidate is a weak-minded frat boy who cracks under
pressure in front of 60 million voters.

Bush signed his own death warrant in the opening round, when he
finally had to speak without his teleprompter. It was a Cinderella
story brought up to date in Florida that night – except this time,
the false prince turned back into a frog.

Immediately after the first debate ended, I called Muhammad Ali at
his home in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ was
laughing so hard that he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate
really cracked him up,” he chuckled. “The champ loves a good
ass-whuppin’. He says Bush looked so scared to fight, he finally just
quit and laid down.”

This year’s first presidential debate was such a disaster for George
Bush that his handlers had to be crazy to let him get in the ring
with John Kerry again. Yet Karl Rove let it happen, and we can only
wonder why. But there is no doubt that the president has lost his
nerve, and his career in the White House is finished. No mas.

Indeed. The numbers are weird today, and so is this dangerous
election. The time has come to rumble, to inject a bit of fun into
politics. That’s exactly what the debates did. John Kerry looked like
a winner, and it energised his troops. Voting for Kerry is starting
to look like serious fun for everyone except poor George, who now
looks like a loser. That is fatal in a presidential election.

I look at elections with the cool and dispassionate gaze of a
professional gambler, especially when I’m betting real money on the
outcome. Contrary to most conventional wisdom, I see Kerry with five
points as a recommended risk. Kerry will win this election, if it
happens, by a bigger margin than Bush finally gouged out of Florida
in 2000. That was about 46 per cent, plus five points for owning the
US Supreme Court – which seemed to equal 51 per cent. Nobody really
believed that, but George W Bush moved into the White House anyway.

It was the most brutal seizure of power since Hitler burned the
Reichstag in 1933 and declared himself the new boss of Germany. Karl
Rove is no stranger to Nazi strategy, if only because it worked for a
while, and it was sure fun for Hitler. But not for long. He ran out
of oil, the whole world hated him, and he liked to gobble pure
crystal biphetamine and stay awake for eight days in a row with his
maps and bombers and his dope-addled general staff.

They all loved the whiff. It is the perfect drug for war, as long as
you are winning, and Hitler thought he was king of the hill forever.
He had created a new master race, and every one of them worshipped
him. They were fanatics. That was 66 years ago, and things are not
much different today. We still love war.

George Bush certainly does. In four short years he has turned our
country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted
nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States,
and you’re not. Love it or leave it.

BULLETIN: KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR THOMPSON JOINS DEMOCRAT IN
CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILIS PRESIDENT”.

“Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of
syphilis,” the famed author said yesterday at a hastily called press
conference near his home in Woody Creek, Colorado.

“Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous loser like Bush.
He hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will vote against
him in November.” Thompson, well known for the eerie accuracy of his
political instincts, went on to denounce Ralph Nader as “a worthless
Judas goat with no moral compass.”

“I endorsed John Kerry a long time ago,” he said, “and I will do
everything in my power, short of roaming the streets with a meat
hammer, to help him be the next president of the United States.”

Which is true. I said all those things, and I will say them again. Of
course I will vote for John Kerry. I have known him for 30 years as a
good man with a brave heart – which is more than even the President’s
friends will tell you about George W Bush, who is also an old
acquaintance from the white-knuckle days of yesteryear. He is hated
all over the world, including large parts of Texas, and he is taking
us all down with him. Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich
daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music,
football and sex, and he is no fun at all.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I won’t make that mistake again.
The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to
the dead. Nader is a fool, as is anybody who votes for him in
November – with the obvious exception of professional Republicans who
have paid big money to turn him into a world-famous Judas goat. Nader
is so desperate that he’s paying homeless people to gather signatures
to get him on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, the petitions he submitted
contained tens of thousands of phoney signatures, including Fred
Flintstone, Mickey Mouse and John Kerry. A judge dumped Ralph from
the ballot there, calling it “the most deceitful and fraudulent
exercise ever perpetrated upon this court”.

But they will keep his name on the ballot in the long-suffering
Hurricane State, which is ruled by the President’s younger brother,
Jeb, who also wants to be the next president of the United States. In
2000, when they sent Jim Baker to Florida, I knew it was all over. In
that election, 97,488 people voted for Nader in Florida, and Gore
lost the state by 537 votes. You don’t have to be from Texas to
understand the moral of that story. It’s like being out-coached in
the Super Bowl. Only losers play fair, and all winners have blood on
their hands.

Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel like a winner, we
had a quick rendezvous on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen, Colorado,
where he was scheduled to meet a harem of wealthy campaign
contributors. I told him that Bush’s vicious goons in the White House
are perfectly capable of assassinating Nader and blaming it on him.
His staff laughed, but the Secret Service men didn’t. Kerry suggested
I might make a good running mate, and we reminisced about trying to
end the Vietnam War in 1972.

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little
street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn
and I was trying to throw a dead rat over a black-spike fence and on
to the President’s lawn. We were angry and righteous in those days,
and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out
because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and
we stomped on Richard Nixon – which wise people said was impossible,
but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was
strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do
is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those
crooked warmongers out of the White House.

Carla,

I agree.  We Canadians are avidly following the
election, because we also fear another four years with
that inbred, uncultured redneck.  Personally, I can’t
imagine why any intelligent person would cast a vote
for that wanker(Bush).  There will be street parties
in Toronto if Kerry takes the election.

George Bush is a LIAR, a MANIPULATOR, and a complete
and utter sham.  He and Cheney need to stick to the
skin bars, and leave the decision making to a more
competent individual.  Kerry may not be perfect, but
at least his main concern isn’t enriching his fat cat
prick friends.

Faith, have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

Julie

Dear Schmoolyboy,

Thanks for the info.  In fact, you are completely

not helping with the anxiety and depression.

Is Zoloft easy to get a script for?  I’ll check with

Bush is not showing the type of emotion you perceived.  My impression of Bush when he’s speaking or anytime, is one of an 8 year old boy getting ready to throw a tantrum.  If you are so concerned with human life how can you condone all the killing going on in Iraq.  Mostly women and children as they are the majority when you blindly bomb a civilization.  The terrorists were all from Saudia Arabia.  We’re in Iraq.  You think Ben Laden and the Saudis involved  could care less about Iraq?  We’re not in there like liberators like the english in WW11.  We’re in there like occupiers, like the Nazis!  Since your government won’t permit the real images of war as well as misinformation,( is ommision  lyin) most are completely ignorant of the truth and carrying on with an illusionary existance. One manipulated by the media and big business.  “Have you had a break today? So get up and get away”
Does Kerry sound rehearsed?  You mean he’s not winging one of the most important moments of his life?  Gee!  Personally I think you have to be a whore to be a politician.  My view of our government is like that movie with John Carey, I believe it was called “Truman”.  His whole life was a reality tv show only he didn’t know it.  Sure you can still have cause and effect however the real deal is behind the scenes.
Our Creator, I believe does not judge or get horrified at peoples behavior.
He is pure love.  There for the taking and the asking.  If we are so horrified at Sept 11th and 3,000 people dead,  How can you not see and have compasion for all the 100,000 dead in Iraq that are also from normal functioning families.  Their grief, their fear.  Look at what our country went through emotionally and spiritually on just on attack.  Theirs is ongoing and neverending. Is it any different? I invite you to take a deep breath and open your mind.
All you need is Love,
Martee

If you don’t support the right of women to control

Why are you even on the ibogaine list? are you on

Hey Dave, I hope you know I was just joking around with you about “Herman Munster”, (but your right, he may look more like Lurch). Sounds like some of these folks take it  little far. Good Grief, vote for who you want. The one’s bitching about who’s voting for who. Take that choice away(Like almost happened 60 ears ago) and then listen to them bitch.

This is one of the most disgusting small minded things
i’ve ever read on this list and that is saying a lot.
I didn’t know anybody except rich companies voted for
bush but I am proven wrong.

I dont know what country you live in but this isn’t
the united states of fundemntalist christianity. There
is separation of church and state, there’s some dumb
psychopath who belongs in the loonie bin in the white
house who makes people on mindvox seem normal.
declaring wars, talking about god to justify it. I’m
not even going there.

If you don’t support the right of women to control
their own bodies or have abortions then I suggest you
don’t get one. Nobody elected you god or judge over
everyone else.

Why are you even on the ibogaine list? are you on
heroin or someone in your family? Does Bush and
fundamentalis christianity approve of drug addicts now
or did I miss something? Won’t the junkies be in the
same line to the gas ovens with the homosexuals,
blacks, women who have had abortions???

He’s been America’s most unorthodox political
commentator for more than 30
years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush
presidency is evil beyond
belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential
campaigns in America is too
obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun,
and I am one of them.
Election day – especially when it’s a presidential
election – is always a
wild and terrifying time for politics junkies, and
I am one of those, too.
We look forward to major election days like sex
addicts look forward to
orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the
winners. They are not the
ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the
votes are finally counted
and the losers are forced to get down on their
knees. No. The slaves who
emerge victorious from these drastic public
decisions go crazy with joy and
plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled Cristal
champagne with naked
strangers who want to be close to a winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You
see it every time. The
weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing
their jobs and money and all
the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It
is like suddenly losing
your wife and your home in a vagrant poker game,
then having to go on the
road with whoremongers and beg for your dinner in
public. Nobody wants to
hire a loser. Right? They stink of doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex?
It’s making me sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in
to apply for a job, but
we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him
down to the parking lot
and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new
enemies list? I want
them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist
sympathisers, and most of
them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come
over here and kneel
down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni,
vidi, vici, especially
among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin
saying: “As the camel
falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even
for rich white men, and
anybody who gets into it should be prepared to
grapple with the meanest of
the mean. The White House has never been seized by
timid warriors. There
are no rules, and the roadside is littered with
wreckage. That is why they
call it the passing lane. Just ask any candidate
who ever ran against
George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards, John McCain –
all of them ambushed and
vanquished by lies and dirty tricks. And all of
them still whining about
it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the
United States, and Al Gore is
not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing
to demolish anything
that got in his way, including the US Supreme
Court. It is not by accident
that the Bush White House (read: Dick Cheney &
Halliburton Inc) controls
all three branches of our federal government today.
They are powerful thugs
who would far rather die than lose the election in
November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful
memories of what
happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too
early, and he had no
response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has
always been the case.
Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the
Military-Industrial Complex
loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt
on the excuse of a
wartime economic emergency. Richard Nixon comes
quickly to mind, along with
Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous “trickle-down”
theory of US economic
policy. If the rich get richer, the theory goes,
before long their pots
will overflow and somehow “trickle down” to the
poor, who would rather eat
scraps off the Bush family plates than eat nothing
at all. Republicans have
never approved of democracy, and they never will.
It goes back to
pre-industrial America, when only white male
property owners could vote.

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush
comes from. Houston is a
cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas
with no zoning laws and a
culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby,
sprawling metropolis
ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich
pansexual cowboys who
live by the code of the West – which can mean just
about anything you need
it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of
the last three presidents
of the United States of America, for good or ill.
The other one was a
handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas,
which has no laws against
any deviant practice not specifically forbidden in
the New Testament,
including anal incest and public cunnilingus with
farm animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US
Senate, Lyndon Johnson was
running about 10 points behind, with only nine days
to go. He was
desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday,
they say, when he
called his equally depressed campaign manager and
told him to call a press
conference for just before lunch on a slow news day
and accuse his
high-riding opponent, a pig farmer, of having
routine carnal knowledge of
his sows, despite the pleas of his wife and
children.

His campaign manager was shocked. “We can’t say
that, Lyndon,” he
supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

“Of course it’s not!” Johnson barked. “But let’s
make the bastard deny it!”

Johnson – a Democrat, like Bill Clinton – won that
election by fewer than
100 votes, and after that he was home free. He went
on to rule Texas and
the US Senate for 20 years and to be the most
powerful vice president in
the history of the United States. Until now.

Armageddon came early for George Bush this year,
and he was not ready for
it. His long-awaited showdowns with John Kerry
turned into a series of
embarrassments that broke his nerve and demoralised
his closest campaign
advisers. They knew he would never recover, no
matter how many votes they
could steal for him in Florida, where the
presidential debates were closely
watched and widely celebrated by millions of Kerry
supporters who suddenly
had reason to feel like winners.

Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog
with almost no chance of
winning three out of three rigged confrontations
with a treacherous little
freak like George Bush. But the debates are over
now, and the victor was
John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush and
left him for roadkill.

Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he
talked like a donkey
with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in
Coral Gables, when Bush
went belly up less than halfway through his first
bout with Kerry, who
hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful…
I almost felt sorry for
him, until I heard someone call him “Mister
President”, and then I felt
ashamed.

Karl Rove, the President’s political wizard, felt
even worse. There is
angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the
bowels of the White
House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its
name is George Bush. The
president failed miserably from the instant he got
onstage with John Kerry.
He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong
in Coral Gables, then
again in St Louis and Tempe. That is Rove’s
problem. His candidate is a
weak-minded frat boy who cracks under pressure in
front of 60 million
voters.

Bush signed his own death warrant in the opening
round, when he finally had
to speak without his teleprompter. It was a
Cinderella story brought up to
date in Florida that night – except this time, the
false prince turned back
into a frog.

Immediately after the first debate ended, I called
Muhammad Ali at his home
in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ
was laughing so hard that
he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate really
cracked him up,” he
chuckled. “The champ loves a good ass-whuppin’. He
says Bush looked so
scared to fight, he finally just quit and laid
down.”

This year’s first presidential debate was such a
disaster for George Bush
that his handlers had to be crazy to let him get in
the ring with John
Kerry again. Yet Karl Rove let it happen, and we
can only wonder why. But
there is no doubt that the president has lost his
nerve, and his career in
the White House is finished. No mas.

Indeed. The numbers are weird today, and so is this
dangerous election. The
time has come to rumble, to inject a bit of fun
into politics. That’s
exactly what the debates did. John Kerry looked
like a winner, and it
energised his troops. Voting for Kerry is starting
to look like serious fun
for everyone except poor George, who now looks like
a loser. That is fatal
in a presidential election.

I look at elections with the cool and dispassionate
gaze of a professional
gambler, especially when I’m betting real money on
the outcome. Contrary to
most conventional wisdom, I see Kerry with five
points as a recommended
risk. Kerry will win this election, if it happens,
by a bigger margin than
Bush finally gouged out of Florida in 2000. That
was about 46 per cent,
plus five points for owning the US Supreme Court –
which seemed to equal 51
per cent. Nobody really believed that, but George W
Bush moved into the
White House anyway.

It was the most brutal seizure of power since
Hitler burned the Reichstag
in 1933 and declared himself the new boss of
Germany. Karl Rove is no
stranger to Nazi strategy, if only because it
worked for a while, and it
was sure fun for Hitler. But not for long. He ran
out of oil, the whole
world hated him, and he liked to gobble pure
crystal biphetamine and stay
awake for eight days in a row with his maps and
bombers and his dope-addled
general staff.

They all loved the whiff. It is the perfect drug
for war, as long as you
are winning, and Hitler thought he was king of the
hill forever. He had
created a new master race, and every one of them
worshipped him. They were
fanatics. That was 66 years ago, and things are not
much different today.
We still love war.

George Bush certainly does. In four short years he
has turned our country
from a prosperous nation at peace into a
desperately indebted nation at
war. But so what? He is the President of the United
States, and you’re not.
Love it or leave it.

BULLETIN: KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR THOMPSON
JOINS DEMOCRAT IN
CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILIS PRESIDENT”.

“Four more years of George Bush will be like four
more years of syphilis,”
the famed author said yesterday at a hastily called
press conference near
his home in Woody Creek, Colorado.

“Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous
loser like Bush. He
hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will
vote against him in
November.” Thompson, well known for the eerie
accuracy of his political
instincts, went on to denounce Ralph Nader as “a
worthless Judas goat with
no moral compass.”

“I endorsed John Kerry a long time ago,” he said,
“and I will do everything
in my power, short of roaming the streets with a
meat hammer, to help him
be the next president of the United States.”

Which is true. I said all those things, and I will
say them again. Of
course I will vote for John Kerry. I have known him
for 30 years as a good
man with a brave heart – which is more than even
the President’s friends
will tell you about George W Bush, who is also an
old acquaintance from the
white-knuckle days of yesteryear. He is hated all
over the world, including
large parts of Texas, and he is taking us all down
with him. Bush is a
natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who
pimped his son out to rich
oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, and
he is no fun at all.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I won’t make
that mistake again. The
joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now
he belongs to the dead.
Nader is a fool, as is anybody who votes for him in
November – with the
obvious exception of professional Republicans who
have paid big money to
turn him into a world-famous Judas goat. Nader is
so desperate that he’s
paying homeless people to gather signatures to get
him on the ballot. In
Pennsylvania, the petitions he submitted contained
tens of thousands of
phoney signatures, including Fred Flintstone,
Mickey Mouse and John Kerry.
A judge dumped Ralph from the ballot there, calling
it “the most deceitful
and fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated upon this
court”.

But they will keep his name on the ballot in the
long-suffering Hurricane
State, which is ruled by the President’s younger
brother, Jeb, who also
wants to be the next president of the United
States. In 2000, when they
sent Jim Baker to Florida, I knew it was all over.
In that election, 97,488
people voted for Nader in Florida, and Gore lost
the state by 537 votes.
You don’t have to be from Texas to understand the
moral of that story. It’s
like being out-coached in the Super Bowl. Only
losers play fair, and all
winners have blood on their hands.

Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel
like a winner, we had a
quick rendezvous on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen,
Colorado, where he was
scheduled to meet a harem of wealthy campaign
contributors. I told him that
Bush’s vicious goons in the White House are
perfectly capable of
assassinating Nader and blaming it on him. His
staff laughed, but the
Secret Service men didn’t. Kerry suggested I might
make a good running
mate, and we reminisced about trying to end the
Vietnam War in 1972.

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on
that elegant little street
in front of the White House. He was yelling into a
bullhorn and I was
trying to throw a dead rat over a black-spike fence
and on to the
President’s lawn. We were angry and righteous in
those days, and there were
millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out
because they were stupid
warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we
stomped on Richard Nixon –
which wise people said was impossible, but so what?
It was fun. We were
warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a
river. That river is still
running. All we have to do is get out and vote,
while it’s still legal, and
we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the
White House.

If your who I think you are, could you answer one question I think many
have wanted to know. Is Patrick human?

Is there also some special plan at St. Kitts where they send junkies to
Bangkok, give them sheets of LSD and then Mash adopts them? Or was that
a special clause he worked into his contract? 🙂

Please know I’m joking, mad respect Patrick 🙂 Between you, mash and
schmooly all of you are seriously weird people. Carla you should go to
St. Kitts 🙂 🙂

I’ve never been to Texas Charliedog but this is my opinion

Ibogaine may no work for benzo’s,  I never had anyone getting a seizure coming off benzo’s,
I guess no one did research about the working of the other alkaloids of the iboga,I normally give very small doses after which seems to help most of the time.
I agree with you about people being more anxious and dysphoric getting off benzo’s after Ibo.

Onderwerp: Re: [Ibogaine] Re: IBO and Benzos

IBO absolutely does not work for Benzo’s. The Benzo GABA system is different then other drugs and IBO doesn’t seem to get the GABA receptors. There is always a risk of seizures coming off Benzo’s acutely and benzo people seem to be more anxious and very dysphoric after IBO. I have seen this happen a lot.

I suggest doing a slow benzo detox. Be off Benzo’s at least 10 days prior to IBO. Even if the opiates have to be increase to get off the Benzo’s, then so be it.

There are many new psychiatric meds that work well for benzo — post acute withdrawal syndrome (which can last for months and make you think you are going crazy). I.E.; Zyprexa, Seroquel and others. These however cannot be taken before IBO but can be started 24-48 hours after IBO experience is over. They really help, but the dosage and timing of intake of these meds  is crucial.

Typical neuroleptics that will stop a bad LSD trip make IBO patients who are dysphoric after treatment WORSE. If someone id flipping out after IBO, ask them to get honest about the Benzo’s. A small dose of valium will chill them out (at least temporarily) till a better plan can be worked out.

Plane old benedryl seems to allow these people to get at least some sleep and doesn’t interact adversely w/ IBO.

Hope everyone suceeds on their journey for freedom and truth.

Zoloft good after Ibo . start 48 hours after Ibo ends . Takes 2 weeks for anti depressant effect to kick in and 4 weeks for full anti anxiety effect. It is not a majic bullet but helps a little, you will need low dose zyprexa or seroquel to work instantly while waiting for zoloft to kick in. Be off zoloft for 10 days before taking ibo. Its works for some and not for others. SSRI’s , like zoloft can tweak some people like those with ADHD.

good luck.

PS,

I like depakote. It slows the racing mind down and works quickly. Liver needs to be healthy for this RX and blood test follow ups are needed.It is a “mood  stabilizer and good for bi-polar types.

Yes, it has no effect of the withdrawals, but as you said after the Ibo. Few months, it does help, at least for some people. The people I do it with have had Alcohol , cocaine, anti depressants problem, fear of being alive.

The ceremony went really well everyone was happy about it, and everyone is still sleeping now, I guess I don’t need as much sleep as everyone else.

Screw Herman Munster (Kerry) and the infamous Hunter S. Thompson. Just exercising my rights. Carry on.

I’d rather not screw either one even though I highly respect Mr Thompson for decades of excellent writing. Although reading Fear & Loathing at age 11 gave me a twisted outlook, it sure beat the puritanical/hypocritical/Fear Based view my parents offered (kind of like the view that Bushco broadcasts… FEAR, HIPPOCRACY AND FAITH-BASED POLITICS (and some good-old (white) boy corporate back scratching). – I can’t imagine anything worse to control all 3 branches of government.

I am leary of ALL politicians, most especially those from Texas.

random thoughts:

I think Kerry looks more like Lurch.

A vote for Bush is a vote for Fascism.

Agreed. yet I fear that bup metabolites may knock noribo off receptor after conversion. Who knows? . very little data on this. I also worry about increased irreversable respiratory depression with both on board. This may be over caution but since no one is sure, why take a chance.

Suboxone and alike are absolutely very addictive. 0.3 of Bup injected is equal to 8 mgs of morphine. I have seen many get addicted to Bup and they are not happy. As it is a mixed agonist / antagonist, it is on and off the receptor so you are okay and then not and then okay and then not again. I feel it is a poor maintenance drug and is addicting.
Be off of Bup/ Subox for at least 14 days prior to IBO. It has weird metabolites that stick around that long and can effect how IBO and noribo bind to the opiate receptors.

Switch over to short acting opiates 2 weeks prior to Ibo if you are on Bup.

I don’t think there is depo-Nor ibo, only depo ibogaiine that is released
over time and converted to noribogaine as it is released from fat.

He’s been America’s most unorthodox political commentator for more than 30 years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush presidency is evil beyond belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America is too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am one of them. Election day – especially when it’s a presidential election – is always a wild and terrifying time for politics junkies, and I am one of those, too. We look forward to major election days like sex addicts look forward to orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the winners. They are not the ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the votes are finally counted and the losers are forced to get down on their knees. No. The slaves who emerge victorious from these drastic public decisions go crazy with joy and plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled Cristal champagne with naked strangers who want to be close to a winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You see it every time. The weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing their jobs and money and all the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It is like suddenly losing your wife and your home in a vagrant poker game, then having to go on the road with whoremongers and beg for your dinner in public. Nobody wants to hire a loser. Right? They stink of doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It’s making me sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in to apply for a job, but we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him down to the parking lot and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new enemies list? I want them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist sympathisers, and most of them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come over here and kneel down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni, vidi, vici, especially among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin saying: “As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white men, and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any candidate who ever ran against George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards, John McCain – all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the United States, and Al Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to demolish anything that got in his way, including the US Supreme Court. It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick Cheney & Halliburton Inc) controls all three branches of our federal government today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die than lose the election in November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had no response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has always been the case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous “trickle-down” theory of US economic policy. If the rich get richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and somehow “trickle down” to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to pre-industrial America, when only white male property owners could vote.

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush comes from. Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West – which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The other one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas, which has no laws against any deviant practice not specifically forbidden in the New Testament, including anal incest and public cunnilingus with farm animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US Senate, Lyndon Johnson was running about 10 points behind, with only nine days to go. He was desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday, they say, when he called his equally depressed campaign manager and told him to call a press conference for just before lunch on a slow news day and accuse his high-riding opponent, a pig farmer, of having routine carnal knowledge of his sows, despite the pleas of his wife and children.

His campaign manager was shocked. “We can’t say that, Lyndon,” he supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

“Of course it’s not!” Johnson barked. “But let’s make the bastard deny it!”

Johnson – a Democrat, like Bill Clinton – won that election by fewer than 100 votes, and after that he was home free. He went on to rule Texas and the US Senate for 20 years and to be the most powerful vice president in the history of the United States. Until now.

Armageddon came early for George Bush this year, and he was not ready for it. His long-awaited showdowns with John Kerry turned into a series of embarrassments that broke his nerve and demoralised his closest campaign advisers. They knew he would never recover, no matter how many votes they could steal for him in Florida, where the presidential debates were closely watched and widely celebrated by millions of Kerry supporters who suddenly had reason to feel like winners.

Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog with almost no chance of winning three out of three rigged confrontations with a treacherous little freak like George Bush. But the debates are over now, and the victor was John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush and left him for roadkill.

Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a donkey with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in Coral Gables, when Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful… I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him “Mister President”, and then I felt ashamed.

Karl Rove, the President’s political wizard, felt even worse. There is angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the bowels of the White House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its name is George Bush. The president failed miserably from the instant he got onstage with John Kerry. He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong in Coral Gables, then again in St Louis and Tempe. That is Rove’s problem. His candidate is a weak-minded frat boy who cracks under pressure in front of 60 million voters.

Bush signed his own death warrant in the opening round, when he finally had to speak without his teleprompter. It was a Cinderella story brought up to date in Florida that night – except this time, the false prince turned back into a frog.

Immediately after the first debate ended, I called Muhammad Ali at his home in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ was laughing so hard that he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate really cracked him up,” he chuckled. “The champ loves a good ass-whuppin’. He says Bush looked so scared to fight, he finally just quit and laid down.”

This year’s first presidential debate was such a disaster for George Bush that his handlers had to be crazy to let him get in the ring with John Kerry again. Yet Karl Rove let it happen, and we can only wonder why. But there is no doubt that the president has lost his nerve, and his career in the White House is finished. No mas.

Indeed. The numbers are weird today, and so is this dangerous election. The time has come to rumble, to inject a bit of fun into politics. That’s exactly what the debates did. John Kerry looked like a winner, and it energised his troops. Voting for Kerry is starting to look like serious fun for everyone except poor George, who now looks like a loser. That is fatal in a presidential election.

I look at elections with the cool and dispassionate gaze of a professional gambler, especially when I’m betting real money on the outcome. Contrary to most conventional wisdom, I see Kerry with five points as a recommended risk. Kerry will win this election, if it happens, by a bigger margin than Bush finally gouged out of Florida in 2000. That was about 46 per cent, plus five points for owning the US Supreme Court – which seemed to equal 51 per cent. Nobody really believed that, but George W Bush moved into the White House anyway.

It was the most brutal seizure of power since Hitler burned the Reichstag in 1933 and declared himself the new boss of Germany. Karl Rove is no stranger to Nazi strategy, if only because it worked for a while, and it was sure fun for Hitler. But not for long. He ran out of oil, the whole world hated him, and he liked to gobble pure crystal biphetamine and stay awake for eight days in a row with his maps and bombers and his dope-addled general staff.

They all loved the whiff. It is the perfect drug for war, as long as you are winning, and Hitler thought he was king of the hill forever. He had created a new master race, and every one of them worshipped him. They were fanatics. That was 66 years ago, and things are not much different today. We still love war.

George Bush certainly does. In four short years he has turned our country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States, and you’re not. Love it or leave it.

BULLETIN: KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR THOMPSON JOINS DEMOCRAT IN CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILIS PRESIDENT”.

“Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of syphilis,” the famed author said yesterday at a hastily called press conference near his home in Woody Creek, Colorado.

“Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous loser like Bush. He hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will vote against him in November.” Thompson, well known for the eerie accuracy of his political instincts, went on to denounce Ralph Nader as “a worthless Judas goat with no moral compass.”

“I endorsed John Kerry a long time ago,” he said, “and I will do everything in my power, short of roaming the streets with a meat hammer, to help him be the next president of the United States.”

Which is true. I said all those things, and I will say them again. Of course I will vote for John Kerry. I have known him for 30 years as a good man with a brave heart – which is more than even the President’s friends will tell you about George W Bush, who is also an old acquaintance from the white-knuckle days of yesteryear. He is hated all over the world, including large parts of Texas, and he is taking us all down with him. Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, and he is no fun at all.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I won’t make that mistake again. The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to the dead. Nader is a fool, as is anybody who votes for him in November – with the obvious exception of professional Republicans who have paid big money to turn him into a world-famous Judas goat. Nader is so desperate that he’s paying homeless people to gather signatures to get him on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, the petitions he submitted contained tens of thousands of phoney signatures, including Fred Flintstone, Mickey Mouse and John Kerry. A judge dumped Ralph from the ballot there, calling it “the most deceitful and fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated upon this court”.

But they will keep his name on the ballot in the long-suffering Hurricane State, which is ruled by the President’s younger brother, Jeb, who also wants to be the next president of the United States. In 2000, when they sent Jim Baker to Florida, I knew it was all over. In that election, 97,488 people voted for Nader in Florida, and Gore lost the state by 537 votes. You don’t have to be from Texas to understand the moral of that story. It’s like being out-coached in the Super Bowl. Only losers play fair, and all winners have blood on their hands.

Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel like a winner, we had a quick rendezvous on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen, Colorado, where he was scheduled to meet a harem of wealthy campaign contributors. I told him that Bush’s vicious goons in the White House are perfectly capable of assassinating Nader and blaming it on him. His staff laughed, but the Secret Service men didn’t. Kerry suggested I might make a good running mate, and we reminisced about trying to end the Vietnam War in 1972.

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn and I was trying to throw a dead rat over a black-spike fence and on to the President’s lawn. We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon – which wise people said was impossible, but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.

Maybe I am missing your point of view in this but what you’re saying is
that you think Bush is a ethical person who is protecting America by
attacking other countries, removing the constitution piece by piece and
you end on the point that the fact he wants to make sure abortions are
back to happening in back rooms with coat hangers is a good thing?

He’s been America’s most unorthodox political commentator for more

than 30 years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush presidency is

evil beyond belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America
is
too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am
one
of them. Election day – especially when it’s a presidential
election –
is always a wild and terrifying time for politics junkies, and I am

one of those, too. We look forward to major election days like sex

addicts look forward to orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the winners. They are not

the ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the votes are
finally
counted and the losers are forced to get down on their knees. No.
The
slaves who emerge victorious from these drastic public decisions go

crazy with joy and plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled
Cristal
champagne with naked strangers who want to be close to a winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You see it every
time.
The weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing their jobs and
money and all the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It
is
like suddenly losing your wife and your home in a vagrant poker
game,
then having to go on the road with whoremongers and beg for your
dinner in public. Nobody wants to hire a loser. Right? They stink
of
doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It’s making me
sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in to apply for a
job,
but we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him down to the
parking lot and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new enemies list? I

want them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist sympathisers, and

most of them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come over here and
kneel down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni, vidi, vici,
especially
among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin saying: “As the
camel
falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white
men,
and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the

meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid

warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with
wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any
candidate who ever ran against George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards,

John McCain – all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty

tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the United States, and Al

Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to
demolish anything that got in his way, including the US Supreme
Court.
It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick Cheney
&
Halliburton Inc) controls all three branches of our federal
government
today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die than lose
the
election in November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what

happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had
no
response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has always been the
case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the
Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation

into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard
Nixon
comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous

“trickle-down” theory of US economic policy. If the rich get
richer,
the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and somehow
“trickle down” to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the
Bush
family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have never
approved
of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to pre-industrial
America, when only white male property owners could vote.

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush comes from. Houston
is
a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning

laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby,
sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and
super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West –
which
can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three
presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The
other
one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas, which
has
no laws against any deviant practice not specifically forbidden in
the
New Testament, including anal incest and public cunnilingus with
farm
animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US Senate, Lyndon
Johnson
was running about 10 points behind, with only nine days to go. He
was
desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday, they say, when
he

supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

Things haven’t changed much where George W Bush comes from. Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It’s a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West – which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.

Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The other one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas, which has no laws against any deviant practice not specifically forbidden in the New Testament, including anal incest and public cunnilingus with farm animals.

Back in 1948, during his first race for the US Senate, Lyndon Johnson was running about 10 points behind, with only nine days to go. He was desperate. And it was just before noon on a Monday, they say, when he called his equally depressed campaign manager and told him to call a press conference for just before lunch on a slow news day and accuse his high-riding opponent, a pig farmer, of having routine carnal knowledge of his sows, despite the pleas of his wife and children.

His campaign manager was shocked. “We can’t say that, Lyndon,” he supposedly said. “You know that it isn’t true.”

“Of course it’s not!” Johnson barked. “But let’s make the bastard deny it!”

Johnson – a Democrat, like Bill Clinton – won that election by fewer than 100 votes, and after that he was home free. He went on to rule Texas and the US Senate for 20 years and to be the most powerful vice president in the history of the United States. Until now.

Armageddon came early for George Bush this year, and he was not ready for it. His long-awaited showdowns with John Kerry turned into a series of embarrassments that broke his nerve and demoralised his closest campaign advisers. They knew he would never recover, no matter how many votes they could steal for him in Florida, where the presidential debates were closely watched and widely celebrated by millions of Kerry supporters who suddenly had reason to feel like winners.

Kerry came into October as a five-point underdog with almost no chance of winning three out of three rigged confrontations with a treacherous little freak like George Bush. But the debates are over now, and the victor was John Kerry every time. He steamrollered Bush and left him for roadkill.

Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a donkey with no brains at all. The tide turned early, in Coral Gables, when Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful… I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him “Mister President”, and then I felt ashamed.

Karl Rove, the President’s political wizard, felt even worse. There is angst in the heart of Texas today, and panic in the bowels of the White House. Rove has a nasty little problem, and its name is George Bush. The president failed miserably from the instant he got onstage with John Kerry. He looked weak and dumb. Kerry beat him like a gong in Coral Gables, then again in St Louis and Tempe. That is Rove’s problem. His candidate is a weak-minded frat boy who cracks under pressure in front of 60 million voters.

Bush signed his own death warrant in the opening round, when he finally had to speak without his teleprompter. It was a Cinderella story brought up to date in Florida that night – except this time, the false prince turned back into a frog.

Immediately after the first debate ended, I called Muhammad Ali at his home in Michigan, but whoever answered said the champ was laughing so hard that he couldn’t come to the phone. “The debate really cracked him up,” he chuckled. “The champ loves a good ass-whuppin’. He says Bush looked so scared to fight, he finally just quit and laid down.”

This year’s first presidential debate was such a disaster for George Bush that his handlers had to be crazy to let him get in the ring with John Kerry again. Yet Karl Rove let it happen, and we can only wonder why. But there is no doubt that the president has lost his nerve, and his career in the White House is finished. No mas.

Indeed. The numbers are weird today, and so is this dangerous election. The time has come to rumble, to inject a bit of fun into politics. That’s exactly what the debates did. John Kerry looked like a winner, and it energised his troops. Voting for Kerry is starting to look like serious fun for everyone except poor George, who now looks like a loser. That is fatal in a presidential election.

I look at elections with the cool and dispassionate gaze of a professional gambler, especially when I’m betting real money on the outcome. Contrary to most conventional wisdom, I see Kerry with five points as a recommended risk. Kerry will win this election, if it happens, by a bigger margin than Bush finally gouged out of Florida in 2000. That was about 46 per cent, plus five points for owning the US Supreme Court – which seemed to equal 51 per cent. Nobody really believed that, but George W Bush moved into the White House anyway.

It was the most brutal seizure of power since Hitler burned the Reichstag in 1933 and declared himself the new boss of Germany. Karl Rove is no stranger to Nazi strategy, if only because it worked for a while, and it was sure fun for Hitler. But not for long. He ran out of oil, the whole world hated him, and he liked to gobble pure crystal biphetamine and stay awake for eight days in a row with his maps and bombers and his dope-addled general staff.

They all loved the whiff. It is the perfect drug for war, as long as you are winning, and Hitler thought he was king of the hill forever. He had created a new master race, and every one of them worshipped him. They were fanatics. That was 66 years ago, and things are not much different today. We still love war.

George Bush certainly does. In four short years he has turned our country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States, and you’re not. Love it or leave it.

BULLETIN: KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR THOMPSON JOINS DEMOCRAT IN CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILIS PRESIDENT”.

“Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of syphilis,” the famed author said yesterday at a hastily called press conference near his home in Woody Creek, Colorado.

“Only a fool or a sucker would vote for a dangerous loser like Bush. He hates everything we stand for, and he knows we will vote against him in November.” Thompson, well known for the eerie accuracy of his political instincts, went on to denounce Ralph Nader as “a worthless Judas goat with no moral compass.”

“I endorsed John Kerry a long time ago,” he said, “and I will do everything in my power, short of roaming the streets with a meat hammer, to help him be the next president of the United States.”

Which is true. I said all those things, and I will say them again. Of course I will vote for John Kerry. I have known him for 30 years as a good man with a brave heart – which is more than even the President’s friends will tell you about George W Bush, who is also an old acquaintance from the white-knuckle days of yesteryear. He is hated all over the world, including large parts of Texas, and he is taking us all down with him. Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, and he is no fun at all.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I won’t make that mistake again. The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to the dead. Nader is a fool, as is anybody who votes for him in November – with the obvious exception of professional Republicans who have paid big money to turn him into a world-famous Judas goat. Nader is so desperate that he’s paying homeless people to gather signatures to get him on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, the petitions he submitted contained tens of thousands of phoney signatures, including Fred Flintstone, Mickey Mouse and John Kerry. A judge dumped Ralph from the ballot there, calling it “the most deceitful and fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated upon this court”.

But they will keep his name on the ballot in the long-suffering Hurricane State, which is ruled by the President’s younger brother, Jeb, who also wants to be the next president of the United States. In 2000, when they sent Jim Baker to Florida, I knew it was all over. In that election, 97,488 people voted for Nader in Florida, and Gore lost the state by 537 votes. You don’t have to be from Texas to understand the moral of that story. It’s like being out-coached in the Super Bowl. Only losers play fair, and all winners have blood on their hands.

Back in June, when John Kerry was beginning to feel like a winner, we had a quick rendezvous on a rain-soaked runway in Aspen, Colorado, where he was scheduled to meet a harem of wealthy campaign contributors. I told him that Bush’s vicious goons in the White House are perfectly capable of assassinating Nader and blaming it on him. His staff laughed, but the Secret Service men didn’t. Kerry suggested I might make a good running mate, and we reminisced about trying to end the Vietnam War in 1972.

That was the year I first met him, at a riot on that elegant little street in front of the White House. He was yelling into a bullhorn and I was trying to throw a dead rat over a black-spike fence and on to the President’s lawn. We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon – which wise people said was impossible, but so what? It was fun. We were warriors then, and our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.

He’s been America’s most unorthodox political commentator for more than 30 years. But for Dr Hunter S Thompson the Bush presidency is evil beyond belief – and judgement is nigh

28 October 2004

The genetically vicious nature of presidential campaigns in America is too obvious to argue with, but some people call it fun, and I am one of them. Election day – especially when it’s a presidential election – is always a wild and terrifying time for politics junkies, and I am one of those, too. We look forward to major election days like sex addicts look forward to orgies. We are slaves to them.

Which is not a bad thing, all in all, for the winners. They are not the ones who bitch and whine about slavery when the votes are finally counted and the losers are forced to get down on their knees. No. The slaves who emerge victorious from these drastic public decisions go crazy with joy and plunge each other into deep tubs of chilled Cristal champagne with naked strangers who want to be close to a winner.

That is how it works in the victory business. You see it every time. The weak suck up to the strong, for fear of losing their jobs and money and all the fickle power they wielded only 24 hours ago. It is like suddenly losing your wife and your home in a vagrant poker game, then having to go on the road with whoremongers and beg for your dinner in public. Nobody wants to hire a loser. Right? They stink of doom and defeat.

“What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It’s making me sick.”

“That is the smell of a loser, senator. He came in to apply for a job, but we tossed him out immediately. Sgt Sloat took him down to the parking lot and taught him a lesson he will never forget.”

“Good work, Tex. And how are you coming with my new enemies list? I want them all locked up. They are scum.”

“We will punish them brutally. They are terrorist sympathisers, and most of them voted against you. I hate those bastards.”

“Thank you, Sloat. You are a faithful servant. Come over here and kneel down. I want to reward you.”

That is the nature of high-risk politics. Veni, vidi, vici, especially among Republicans. It’s like the ancient Bedouin saying: “As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.”

Presidential politics is a vicious business, even for rich white men, and anybody who gets into it should be prepared to grapple with the meanest of the mean. The White House has never been seized by timid warriors. There are no rules, and the roadside is littered with wreckage. That is why they call it the passing lane. Just ask any candidate who ever ran against George Bush – Al Gore, Ann Richards, John McCain – all of them ambushed and vanquished by lies and dirty tricks. And all of them still whining about it.

That is why George W Bush is President of the United States, and Al Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to demolish anything that got in his way, including the US Supreme Court. It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick Cheney & Halliburton Inc) controls all three branches of our federal government today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die than lose the election in November.

The Republican establishment is haunted by painful memories of what happened to Old Man Bush in 1992. He peaked too early, and he had no response to “It’s the economy, stupid.” Which has always been the case. Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous “trickle-down” theory of US economic policy. If the rich get richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and somehow “trickle down” to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all. Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to pre-industrial America, when only white male property owners could vote.

I’ll try and answer my E mail at least twice a week. I think I can pull that off. The lower the dose of drugs the better. I ignored that and suffered needlessly. The lower your dose the better the Ibogaine works. But it will work. I had a few minor withdrawals that I wouldn’t have had to worry about if I had listened to sound advice. I found somebody to tell me it didn’t matter about dose and took twice my normal dose for about 3 weeks and boy did I pay.

Hi Ron,

So far I’ve never been off my Sub apart from when I was using so I can’t
answer that.  I’ve been on it 9 months though so I’m not looking forward to
it.  My Doctor etc here in the UK all say that Sub is not addictive and that
you should not suffer at all as long as you taper off it.  However I’ve
heard plenty of tales that disagree.  I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
How long have you been taking it?  What’s your dosage?  There’s an
opiate-detox forum with a bit all about Buprenorphine so you could go there
and read people’s posts for info.  (There’s a Bup forum and an info one that
I think has some details too)  But I’ve never got a solid answer out of it.
Look for a guy called ‘Bup4pain’ if he’s still about-he really knows what
he’s talking about.

http://64.226.201.78/Forum/default.asp

I’m no Doctor but surely you have to deal with one addiction at a time?
Benzos or Sub?  I feel for you with the benzo WD.

Have you read up on Ibogaine?  If not definately check out The ibogaine
Dossier for info.  The others will know better-can you use Ibo to knock both
Sub and Benzos on the head?  I’m hoping to do Ibogaine very very soon so
I’ll let you know how it works with the sub.

Love Hannah

Hi everyone,

I’m feeling sorry for myself so I thought I’d write.  I’ve really messed
up.
I was a H addict for 4yrs doing a bit of evrything else too at times.
I

tried to detoc lots of times.  Then I was put on Subutex and was clean
for

like a month (the longest I’;ve ever been clean) I keep trying though.
Then

my old partner in crime got chucked out onto the streets so I said he
could

stay with me.  But we’re etrrible influences on each other-if one’s
being

good then the other always seems to want to be bad.  Anyway recenty we
got

into Snowballs (H&Crack IV) which I’ve done lots before but never
regularly.

I love that high.  I wish I could feel like that all the time!  Now
detoxing

and just staying on my Subbies is even harder.  They don’t make me feel

better anymore.  I can’t tell anyone cuz they’ll chuck me off my script.
I

had got my life back a bit and now I’m losing what little I gained cuz
I’m

always sick.  Todays only Day 2 (again) with just Subbies and I feel so

awful 🙁  I’ve mainly slept for the past 48hrs I can’t stop shaking and

crying.  I’m not being sick or needing the loo too much which is a
godsend

(I do try to feel grateful for that) but I just feel so CRAP!  My friend
is

being good too though he keeps moaning and begging me to score (does he

think I’m made of cash?  I spent over £200 on H and rock on tues and wed

easy) And my dealers won’t stop ringing me.  My phones on silent now cuz
I

don’t feel like talking to anyone.  Sorry if my spellings bad but my
hands

won’t stop shaking.  Even if I scored I wouldn’t be able to get
myself-my

hands are so sore and swollen from missing.

Ok That’s my moaning out the way.  I guess I’ll just go back to bed.  I
just

wanna feel good.  I never did Snowballs in company cuz I like to really
FEEL

it.  My n my friend meditate on it breathing deeply ooooh…… stop

talking.  I’ve been clean before though n life was boring.

I’m not really expecting replies I just wanted to vent.  Basically just

feeling sorry for myself.  I just feel like this will never end.  I’ll
never

feel good again without drugs of one sort or nother.

I’ll stop now.  I’m gonna make a hot sweet cup of tea.  I’d have a
shower

but I think i’d collapse.  Now I think about it I haven’t eaten since

Wednesday anyway n hardly drtunk anything.  That’s probably why I feel
so

weak!  I’ll try eat some soup or summat easily digestable.

Thanks for listening.

Hey Randy,

Yes,to Sara’s,booked flight and paid for.
I am getting rid of the Methadone addiction.

Tell me Randy,after the 10th day,would you say you felt normal,no withdrawals.
I mean if someone that knew withdrawals when they saw them,saw you
after 10 days,could they see any sign of withdrawals?

I am very excited about this,but I tell you what, F..k I’m scared,anxious.

You,Sean,Julie and the others have helped with your experiences and
I thank you all,I’m still scared though. 🙂

Another good thing is that I will be across the other side of the world.
I have not given my clinic enough notice,this worries me a little,
however I am fortunate to have a good counciler and understanding doctors,
I think it will be fine.Either way I have to go.

Do you think after 10 days(after the treatment)that I will be in the
mood to backpack around Europe?

I am thinking since I will only be less than an hours flight from
Europe,I might as well check it out.
Smiles Jasen.

Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] Little ol’ me

I am touched by your post. For years I struggled to get out my speed
addiction but had a partner that was using and had no desire to use. I
eventually moved out of our shared apartment and he eventually ended up on
the street. He developed long term psychosis and we lost contact with each
other for over a year.I used to get fucked up and go out all night looking
for him. I remember going down to where a bunch of homeless people slept,
looking at the shoes sticking out from under the card board blankets (he
had
distinct tennis shoes). This drove me to distraction and my use increased.

Finally, when I last found him I was in a residential treatment program. I
was not willing to give that up so I moved him into a youth hostel 3
blocks
from my program. I paid his bills but made him go to the food bank for
food.
I bought him cigarets and he was so mean to me for the longest time.

I learned alot about psychosis and how too deal with it. At the time I was
clean and had resources to help. AFter being in treatment for 6 months I
moved out and we moved in together. Since then we have shared a small one
bedroom apt (he can’t work full time but he is now working and is even in
treatment himself).

I can imagine how you feel. What I had to do was to find ways to make it
safe for both us. I could not sleep thinking of him being on the street
again, or of him all cracked out all the time.

It may be rough, but I hope you find a way that works for both of you.

BTW: At times I had to get rough, have him hauled off by the police etc.
It
was the hardest thing I have ever done. But in the long run, he stopped
pulling his pranks and started pulling his weight.

I take 4mg when I feel I really need to.  I had stabilised on 4mg back

before.  Today and yesterday I took 12mg.  I expect to be back down to
4mg

by the end of the week but I’ll see how it goes.

I hear what you’re saying about my friend.  Can’t we just both try

I really could never leave him on th street-then he’d be straight back
into

it.  I have got meaner with him and told him he CANNOT keep doing it at
my

flat and must have respect for my efforts.  I’m just as bad as he is

though-before its been him that did well and ME who fucked things up
for

HIM.  Give us a couple of weeks an see.  He needs to sort out a place

anyway-he will just get more depressed if he doesn’t start working
towards
a

goal.  I will be stronger.  I’m sorry everyone-I know it looks simple
to
you

but I’d rather be a junkie for the rest of my life than be responsible
for

hurting anyone else.  And I really think throwing him out would really
hurt

him.

I share mine with him.  As I didn’t take it for a while I was left with a
load.  I don’t leave myself short though.

Thanks for everyone’s responses.  I don’t know what was the matter with me
last night-I just get overwhelmingly depressed sometimes.  Todays Day 3 so
far so good.  I’m sorry to have dumped all this rubbish on the list.  I
really do take on board all that evryone says and I’ll let you know what
happens (and Bill-I’ll watch my back).  He’s going away next week for a week
and has agreed to only spend 1 week out of every two at my flat.  Problem
is, the guy who he’s staying with the other week is a rock/H addict though I
know he’s trying really hard to quit.  I hope he stays clean.  He gets bored
being clean though and I see where he’s coming from.

You’re all right.  I must not let him hinder my own progress-I must be more
selfish.  Oh and Randy-I was given a book on codependency by a counsellor I
used to see, pity I never read it!  I will look into it.

Love you all loads and respect you all tonnes.  I just hope you don’t all
think less of me,

Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] Fw: Marijuana IS a Dangerous Drug

Cannabis didn’t kill him, he hilled himself.  He was probably using drugs to escape some form of pain. Although Cannabis may not have helped him, I guarantee it wasn’t hurting him.  Alcohol is a depressant and that is probably what really agrravated his condition.  Sorry for her loss, and I know she needs something or someone to blame, but Cannabis is the last thing she should attribute her sons death to, IMO.
CE

I am a Probation/Parole Agent from Wisconsin, and I am fighting my own war
against the very dangerous drug, marijuana.  My son was an every day user of
the killer, and at the age of 24 he took his life.  Prior, he was so
depressed from using marijuana and alcohol together  so the doctor put him
on medication, which only made the situation worse..  He shot himself in
February of 2001.
Adam said to me when he was younger that marijuana was not a dangerous drug
but just prior to his death, he did say to me, “You know, Mom, marijuana is
really dangerous, isn’t it?”  If only I would have known.
Adam was extremely intelligent, and in fact,  when he took his tests to get
into the tech school, his counselor told him, he didn’t belong there, he
belonged in a four year program, – but he didn’t work to his potential
because of his drug usage, so he didn’t get the grades he needed.
I now go to schools, prisons, churches, recovery groups, just anywhere
anyone asks me to go and I tell “Adam’s Story”.  It is extremely powerful,
and I have turned this awful negative into a positive. Just this year alone,
I have done it 47 times, so you can see it is in demand.
From my experience of being a Probation/Parole Agent, I also can speak about
real life situations of my clients and their use of marijuana.  They say it
is not addictive, but the number of clients that risk the possibility of
going to jail because they can not NOT use is staggering.  The drug has
messed up so many lives.
The message I give is the danger of using marijuana, especially when someone
takes medication, and I  foil the idea that it is harmless.
In “Adam’s Story”. I tell his life as he grew up, I talk about his
addiction, his suicide, and my journey through grief.  Do you know, they
wouldn’t let me see him, hold him, touch him, they wouldn’t let me say
good-bye?  He is JUST gone.
It is SO powerful.  You should see the letters I have gotten and what people
say.  I went into a treatment center in one of the prisons, and Adam’s
picture is in the display case at the center with the caption “ALCOHOL AND
DRUGS TOOK THIS MAN’S LIFE AT THE AGE OF 24”.  The guys don’t know who he
is, and then I come in and tell his story.  One time, there was a guy in the
audience who was going to quit the program, and after hearing the story, he
couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind.  On the day he successfully
completed the program, he gave his social worker a big drawing, and it was
of the picture of Adam in the display case.  He told his social worker he
couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind, and he had to do something.  He
asked the social worker to send me the picture.  I have it framed and
hanging in my living room.  I am trying to turn this awful negative into a
positive.
Sometimes I wonder, am I making a difference, but I got a letter from a 15
year old boy who was in a treatment center, who wrote and said that he had
been suicidal since the previous July, and hearing my story, he will never
do that to his mother.  His counselor, who had been seeing him for some
time, didn’t even know he was suicidal.
Thank you for letting me tell you what I am doing, and hopefully all of us
together can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Linda Kroll

Hi Hannah, I so understand what your going through

methadone I don’t know if it was me and I’m sure it
was because of the men I am always attracted to but
whenever I made a effort to get back on track and stop
screwing everything up it was always going back
because of the man I was with and I always felt the
same way you’re feeling. It wasn’t the same man over
the years but it might as well have been. I know I’m
saying something that I couldn’t do for soooo long but
try to think about you first if he’s really not trying
or always the one who drags you back down.
I’ve been clean after doing ibogaine for nearly 2
years right now and have different problems I never
seem to find any man I like who doesn’t want to turn
me into something else and I end up trying to be
someone I’m not for them and months later I go how did
this happen to me, I don’t want to have to pretend to
be some other person why do I want this. I don’t think
I’ve ever found any man who isn’t that way so I know a
lot of it is me and wanting to please someone and then
I become resentful and tired of it.
A big part is that I am really attracted to the broken
apart weirdos 😉 nice guys are very boring but the
broken apart weirdos are never going to be anything
else either so maybe I should try bi, I don’t know!
That last part was a joke but it hasn’t gotten any
less frustrating since I cleaned up if that helps any.
I’m sure it doesn’t 😉

Jasen, Will you be by yourself? 10 days later I would think that if your will is good you could do it. I’d take someone along if you can though. You are in exellent hands and by the time you leave Sara’s I’d say you could do just about what you want to. I was a complete wuss about the residuals so don’t go by what I was saying at the time. But you will have a few. FEW. Just a little. Keep your head up, stay busy and it won’t be bad at all. I wish you well and tell Sara to post when she doses you and I not only will burn a candle I’ll burn a big fat one in your honor. Happy trails (which are unGodly wait to you see them) and have a safe journey.               Randy

Dear Hannah,

You know what you have to do.
It is hard enough doing this by ourselves
without someone else making it harder.

Yes,the person was a friend in those circumstances
however if you want out,as you know,then the friend
has to go. Rough,..maybe,but these days I don’t think so
anymore.
The old “scene” friend has to go,otherwise the battle
will be too painfull,as it already sounds like it is.

Smiles Jasen.

Dear Hannah,

Please call me at 0031-346-241770

So we can talk, anytime day time.

We are doing an Aya ceremony tonight here. which can be helpful as
aftercare. we sing all kind of songs and each person can sing his/her own
song, each person is welcome with his/her instrument.(no more then 12
people) We have an agreement Of discipline.
To let go of …and to open up for the new… to feel death and rebirth.
it is used in Brazil by some medicine people to treat addiction to cocaine.

The insight and the wellness you can get also with liberty cups, only if you
know the dosage and if you dare to take a big amount, in a ceremony,a
discipline setting, you respect your guide and listen to what He/she ask you
to do during the session. Then not much can go wrong.

Be well,

sara

Ok That’s my moaning out the way.  I guess I’ll just go back to bed.  I

I’ll stop now.  I’m gonna make a hot sweet cup of tea.  I’d have a shower

but I think i’d collapse.  Now I think about it I haven’t eaten since

Wednesday anyway n hardly drtunk anything.  That’s probably why I feel
so

weak!  I’ll try eat some soup or summat easily digestable.

Thanks for listening.

Hey Randy,

Yes,to Sara’s,booked flight and paid for.
I am getting rid of the Methadone addiction.

Tell me Randy,after the 10th day,would you say you felt normal,no withdrawals.
I mean if someone that knew withdrawals when they saw them,saw you
after 10 days,could they see any sign of withdrawals?

I am very excited about this,but I tell you what, F..k I’m scared,anxious.

You,Sean,Julie and the others have helped with your experiences and
I thank you all,I’m still scared though. 🙂

Another good thing is that I will be across the other side of the world.
I have not given my clinic enough notice,this worries me a little,
however I am fortunate to have a good counciler and understanding doctors,
I think it will be fine.Either way I have to go.

Do you think after 10 days(after the treatment)that I will be in the
mood to backpack around Europe?

I am thinking since I will only be less than an hours flight from
Europe,I might as well check it out.
Smiles Jasen.

Jasen, I can’t wait till you get back and post. It is a tumultuous journey. I think you will get a lot out of going to Sara’s. You are going to see Sara aren’t you? Just remember. There may be a few little, and I mean little, residual withdrawals but nothing like kicking without Ibo. I was a complete puss about it but, with the right frame of mind it is nothing to worry about. Are you kicking methadone? Maybe you will see the word writing snakes like I did. Way cool.             Randy

Julie, I had a candle burning for you thru Wed. When I did my treatment I tried Wellbutrin and it made my residual withdrawals worse. I hope it works for you. I am so glad it went well for you. It sounds like they kinda’ stepped you like for methadone. That was the only thing I worried about in your case. Keep it up and tell us more when you can. Did you see any Pygmies?

Oh my God,

I can’t believe it- I have been opiate free since
Tuesday, 10pm.  I had to reschedule my treatment for
Wednesday, 12pm, at which time I ingested 350ml of
Ibogaine HCL, and 175ml every hour or so thereafter,
to 1000mg, total.  The music therapy aspect was SO
rewarding- it calmed me throughout the whole
treatment, and reduced the freakier parts into mere
afterthoughts.

Guys/gals, I can’t believe the difference between my
two treatments.  Other than lethargy, low energy, and
a few uncomfortable moments(hot/cold flashes,
piloerection, periodic insomnia, aches), the last two
days have been a breeze.  I would say the Ibo
treatment reduced my symptoms by 85-90%.  I have been
able to grab naps for 2-4 hours in duration, and last
night I was able to sleep for approximately 6 hours!
On the second day after ceasing my opiate intake!

Hot baths and meds really helped too- trazadone and
clonidine together seemed to really tranquilize and
sedate my body, mind and soul, especially throughout
the tougher parts.

I was able to eat a Swiss Chalet quarter chicken
dinner yesterday, and have started on a brief, short
term regiment of light antidepressants(Wellbutrin
100mg/sr) which have worked miracles with my energy
levels.  Listening to music is amazing- I have been
digging Air, Talvin Singh, the Clash, and of course,
Radiohead.  Return to Brixton is especially blowing my
mind!

Howard, thanks for bringing this miracle to the
masses; Patrick, thanks for making this discussion
list possible;  And to everyong else: thanks for the
support, and for just being YOU.

love Julie

I am touched by your post. For years I struggled to get out my speed addiction but had a partner that was using and had no desire to use. I eventually moved out of our shared apartment and he eventually ended up on the street. He developed long term psychosis and we lost contact with each other for over a year.I used to get fucked up and go out all night looking for him. I remember going down to where a bunch of homeless people slept, looking at the shoes sticking out from under the card board blankets (he had distinct tennis shoes). This drove me to distraction and my use increased.

Finally, when I last found him I was in a residential treatment program. I was not willing to give that up so I moved him into a youth hostel 3 blocks from my program. I paid his bills but made him go to the food bank for food. I bought him cigarets and he was so mean to me for the longest time.

I learned alot about psychosis and how too deal with it. At the time I was clean and had resources to help. AFter being in treatment for 6 months I moved out and we moved in together. Since then we have shared a small one bedroom apt (he can’t work full time but he is now working and is even in treatment himself).

I can imagine how you feel. What I had to do was to find ways to make it safe for both us. I could not sleep thinking of him being on the street again, or of him all cracked out all the time.

It may be rough, but I hope you find a way that works for both of you.

BTW: At times I had to get rough, have him hauled off by the police etc. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. But in the long run, he stopped pulling his pranks and started pulling his weight.

Hi everyone,

I was a H addict for 4yrs doing a bit of evrything else too at times.
I

tried to detoc lots of times.  Then I was put on Subutex and was clean
for

like a month (the longest I’;ve ever been clean) I keep trying though.
Then

my old partner in crime got chucked out onto the streets so I said he could

stay with me.  But we’re etrrible influences on each other-if one’s being

good then the other always seems to want to be bad.  Anyway recenty we
got

into Snowballs (H&Crack IV) which I’ve done lots before but never regularly.

I love that high.  I wish I could feel like that all the time!  Now detoxing

and just staying on my Subbies is even harder.  They don’t make me feel

better anymore.  I can’t tell anyone cuz they’ll chuck me off my script.
I

had got my life back a bit and now I’m losing what little I gained cuz
I’m

always sick.  Todays only Day 2 (again) with just Subbies and I feel so

awful 🙁  I’ve mainly slept for the past 48hrs I can’t stop shaking and

crying.  I’m not being sick or needing the loo too much which is a godsend

(I do try to feel grateful for that) but I just feel so CRAP!  My friend
is

being good too though he keeps moaning and begging me to score (does he

think I’m made of cash?  I spent over £200 on H and rock on tues and wed

easy) And my dealers won’t stop ringing me.  My phones on silent now cuz
I

don’t feel like talking to anyone.  Sorry if my spellings bad but my hands

won’t stop shaking.  Even if I scored I wouldn’t be able to get myself-my

hands are so sore and swollen from missing.

Ok That’s my moaning out the way.  I guess I’ll just go back to bed.  I
just

wanna feel good.  I never did Snowballs in company cuz I like to really
FEEL

it.  My n my friend meditate on it breathing deeply ooooh…… stop

talking.  I’ve been clean before though n life was boring.

I’m not really expecting replies I just wanted to vent.  Basically just

feeling sorry for myself.  I just feel like this will never end.  I’ll
never

feel good again without drugs of one sort or nother.

I’ll stop now.  I’m gonna make a hot sweet cup of tea.  I’d have a shower

but I think i’d collapse.  Now I think about it I haven’t eaten since

Wednesday anyway n hardly drtunk anything.  That’s probably why I feel
so

weak!  I’ll try eat some soup or summat easily digestable.

Thanks for listening.

OK I’m a planker sorry everyone.  I wrote a letter to the list very similar
only like a month ago-I’m really glad I kept it so I can see how silly my
behaviour is going round in circles.  I want to say thanks again for those
of you who responded last time.  I saved your letters and I just read them
and they’re still helping me now.  I’m sorry for repeating myself.  Since
the last post I had got work with a local horse whisperer-he takes me with
him twice a week to this Rescue Centre where we work with all these gorgeous
babies who’ve never been handled and private clients.  I only expected to
watch but he’s actually got me n there doing it and is teaching me loads.
He’s a great bloke and really passionate about it so I’m loving it.  I
didn’t go this week though coz of being fucked or sick!  I just didn’t want
you all to think that all I do is moan!

Looks like you were all so right about my friend stayiong with me-it did
fuck things up.  Now I have a problem with Rock too!  I’ve never been sick
without rock tho so I’m hoping I’ll just feel down for a while and get over
it!  I do listen to everything you say but I can’t kick him out cuz I’m all
he’s got.  I need to know he’s ok.  I just need to be stronger.

You are all great people and have inspired me with so much hope.  Thankyou
everyone.  You’ve cheered me up already!

I will try to be more positive.  In 2 weeks I’m going on holiday to a
beautiful part of the Lake Dictrict though its with some of my fmaily. Lots
of family shit has risen up recently and I really don’t know how to deal
with it.  They hurt me so much and they think its just a joke.  Oh and
Tuesday I’m back with the horses-I really seem to have found something I
love!   And the Shaw Trust helps people with mental health and/or substance
abuse problems are paying for me to go on a weekend course (£150) aswell as
maybe paying for driving lessons!

So much good and when I’m sick i forget all about it!

So I’m sorry for filling the list with rubbish but please realie how much
you’ve helped-you don’t have to reply.

One other thing- my friend from ages ago is taking Dan (the guy who’s
staying with me) off to Wales and has invited me.  Its to go camping and do
Magic Mushrooms.  They say in the absence of Ibo it should help.  I’ve done
Mushes before n had an awful trip but my friend Dan saved me.  I would feel
safe with them.  But do you think it’d help?  Can Liberty Caps help with
detox?  They think it’ll help us reach…I dunno really.  But what do you
all think?  I’d be really interested what you think sara?

Sorry this as been so long-I’ll write again when I can actually write
something that will ADD to the list!

Lots of Love Hannah

The following appeared on methadone watchdog bulletin board.

I thought genetic differences relating to human micro-opioid receptor
genes
have been known for several years, this Norwegian study of 207 cancer
patients
successfully identified, genetically, which patients would require
increased
morphine to achieve the same dose response for pain control. It is a
small
step
to translate these findings to other opioids and other individual
responses.
I wonder if this genetic difference of the micro-opioid receptors
affects
a
patients methadone maintenance dosage requirements? Maybe someday we’ll
see
genetic testing to diagnose potential addicts and their maintenance
dosage
adjustments.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2004 Nov;48(10):1232-9.
The 118 A > G polymorphism in the human micro-opioid receptor gene may
increase morphine requirements in patients with pain caused by malignant
disease.

Klepstad P, Rakvag TT, Kaasa S, Holthe M, Dale O, Borchgrevink PC, Baar
C,
Vikan T, Krokan HE, Skorpen F.

Institute of Circulation and Medical Imaging, Norwegian University of
Science
and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.

Background: Dispositions for genes encoding opioid receptors may explain
some
variability in morphine efficacy. Experimental studies show that
morphine
and
morphine-6-glucuronide are less effective in individuals carrying
variant
alleles caused by the 118 A > G polymorphism in the micro-opioid
receptor
gene
(OPRM1). The purpose of the study was to investigate whether this and
other
genetic polymorphisms in OPRM1 influence the efficacy of morphine in
cancer pain
patients. Methods: We screened 207 cancer pain patients on oral morphine
treatment for four frequent OPRM1 gene polymorphisms. The polymorphisms
were the
-172 G > T polymorphism in the 5’untranslated region of exon 1, the 118
A
G
polymorphism in exon 1, and the IVS2 + 31 G > A and IVS2 + 691 G > C
polymorphisms, both in intron 2. Ninety-nine patients with adequately
controlled pain were
included in an analysis comparing morphine doses and serum
concentrations
of
morphine and morphine metabolites in the different genotypes for the
OPRM1
polymorphisms. Results: No differences related to the -172 G > T, the
IVS2
+ 31 G
A and the IVS2 + 691 G > C polymorphisms were observed. Patients
homozygous
for the variant G allele of the 118 A > G polymorphism (n = 4) needed
more
morphine to achieve pain control, compared to heterozygous (n = 17) and
homozygous wild-type (n = 78) individuals. This difference was not
explained by other
factors such as duration of morphine treatment, performance status, time
since
diagnosis, time until death, or adverse symptoms. Conclusion: Patients
homozygous for the 118 G allele of the micro-opioid receptor need higher
morphine
doses to achieve pain control. Thus, genetic variation at the gene
encoding the
micro-opioid receptor contributes to variability in patients’ responses
to
morphine.

****

The following is yet another study demonstrating the interidividuality
of
methadone dosage requirements. I have posted extensively on the effects
of
individual cytochrome P450 variations and how it affects the metabolism
of
methadone, causing huge dosage variations from patient to patient. This
Italian study
calls into play how the enzymatic pathways are affected by other
medications,
and how they can dramatically affect methadone blood concentrations,
withdrawal
symptoms, and ultimately mood. Once again medical research demonstrates
that
each patient’s dose must be individualized both for amount and
frequency.
I
recommend printing this study and adding it to your arsenal of dosage
research.

Pharmacokinetics: The study of the bodily absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and excretion of drugs

Pharmacol Res. 2004 Dec;50(6):551-9.
Methadone-metabolism, pharmacokinetics and interactions.

Ferrari A, Coccia CP, Bertolini A, Sternieri E.

Section of Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacology, University of Modena
and
Reggio Emilia, Policlinico, Largo del Pozzo, 71-41100 Modena, Italy.

The pharmacokinetics of methadone varies greatly from person to person;
so,
after the administration of the same dose, considerably different
concentrations are obtained in different subjects, and the
pharmacological
effect may be
too small in some patients, too strong and prolonged in others.
Methadone
is
mostly metabolised in the liver; the main step consists in the
N-demethylation by
CYP3A4 to EDDP (2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine), an
inactive metabolite. The activity of CYP3A4 varies considerably among
individuals,
and such variability is the responsible for the large differences in
methadone
bioavailability. CYP2D6 and probably CYP1A2 are also involved in
methadone
metabolism. During maintenance treatment with methadone, treatment with
other
drugs may be necessary due to the frequent comorbidity of drug addicts:
psychotropic drugs, antibiotics, anticonvulsants and antiretroviral
drugs,
which can
cause pharmacokinetic interactions. In particular, antiretrovirals,
which
are
CYP3A4 inducers, can decrease the levels of methadone, so causing
withdrawal
symptoms. Buprenorphine, too, is metabolised by CYP3A4, and may undergo
the same
interactions as methadone. Since it is impossible to foresee the
time-lapse
from the administration of another drug to the appearing of withdrawal
symptoms,
nor how much the daily dose of methadone should be increased in order to
prevent them, patients taking combined drug treatments must be carefully
monitored. The so far known pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions of
methadone do not
have life-threatening consequences for the patients, but they usually
cause a
decrease of the concentrations and of the effects of the drug, which in
turn
can cause symptoms of withdrawal and increase the risk of relapse into
heroin
abuse.

metabolism. During maintenance treatment with methadone, treatment with other
drugs may be necessary due to the frequent comorbidity of drug addicts:
psychotropic drugs, antibiotics, anticonvulsants and antiretroviral drugs, which can
cause pharmacokinetic interactions. In particular, antiretrovirals, which are
CYP3A4 inducers, can decrease the levels of methadone, so causing withdrawal
symptoms. Buprenorphine, too, is metabolised by CYP3A4, and may undergo the same
interactions as methadone. Since it is impossible to foresee the time-lapse
from the administration of another drug to the appearing of withdrawal symptoms,
nor how much the daily dose of methadone should be increased in order to
prevent them, patients taking combined drug treatments must be carefully
monitored. The so far known pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions of methadone do not
have life-threatening consequences for the patients, but they usually cause a
decrease of the concentrations and of the effects of the drug, which in turn
can cause symptoms of withdrawal and increase the risk of relapse into heroin
abuse.

Hi Shelley,

Good to see you too, liv 52 is an Ayurvedic formula to support the liver. You also can go to an Ayurvedic Doctor  to check this out before using it.

Good weekend.

Yes, Schmoolyboy you can help me by being informative about things like what to look for on an EKG and what liver problems to look for. I’m studying for future projects. I’m gonna’ run into Aids too and I’m paying big time attention to what you said about that. I have plenty of time to study. They won’t cut me loose for a while.    Randy

Jasen, I can’t wait till you get back and post. It is a tumultuous journey. I think you will get a lot out of going to Sara’s. You are going to see Sara aren’t you? Just remember. There may be a few little, and I mean little, residual withdrawals but nothing like kicking without Ibo. I was a complete puss about it but, with the right frame of mind it is nothing to worry about. Are you kicking methadone? Maybe you will see the word writing snakes like I did. Way cool.             Randy

Faith, I like your name. Hep C isn’t a problem as long as your sons liver enzymes are no more than 2 and a half times higher than normal. (thanx Schmoolyboy) I would ask your son if he really wants to be clean and if he does tell him to read what he can find on the Internet about Ibogaine and quit being ignorant to the facts. When my mother found this I read about Ibogaine and immediately pissed all over it. But it hooked me in and in 2 weeks I was on the computer about 2 or 3 hours a day looking at information. I didn’t think I could ever be clean again and I’m 47 years old. I was ready to go to my grave hooked on methadone. My Dr. gave me a script and said people never get off of this. I told him to wait and see. I have Dr.s from NY to KY who will give me methadone at the asking and for the first time in my life I don’t want it. Really. There is a better way and it is Ibogaine. What is your son hooked on? Does he have any heart problems? You will need liver profiles and an EKG to get treated. I had Hep C and went thru the whole protocol. They tell me I’m cured. We’ll see but I know my liver enzymes are completely normal. I feel for every mother who comes on here because my mother once again saved my life and she is the dearest woman I know.   Randy

Patrick thank you from the bottom of my heart too. I
am grateful for you being you and love your writing
but overlooked mindvox and this list and how much time
it must all take. I’ve been here almost from the
beginning and was on the very old calyx list too and
saw it have 4 or 5 messages in a month. Everybody
always accuses you of jamming mindvox into ibogaine
but by taking what you made before you hit bottom and
pulling ibogaine into it you have made it grow like
crazy 🙂 This is also the place I found ibogaine in
the first place!

Thank you and thanks to everyone on this list even the
angry people who always remind me that I’m not doing
that bad 🙂

Thank you Howard very much also!

Love all of you! Damn now I want to go to New Orleans!

Please don’t cease and desist 🙂

I can’t keep up with the list and only read some of
the messages depending on who posts them. I know
you’re busy patrick but you should start a best of
section of the list, there are zillions of messages
and I know I know it’s this way because people don’t
want to be too out in the open but I think Mindvox
should start a medical section. You could replace the
ibogaine manual in 10 paragraphs 🙂

Patrick I am forever grateful to you for just being
you, when I first cleaned up you were and still are my
role model, because not one person I ever showed
anything you wrote to said you could be clean 🙂 I
listened to you instead of them and finnnnnnnnnaly got
it 🙂 🙂 Dr. Mash I hear so much about and none of
it good but she is the person who replied to my email
and the one time I called the offices there stayed on
the phone for half a hour and gushed about ‘that’s my
son! Patrick is a genius and he hasn’t been arrested
in a long time!’ 🙂 I can’t think of that lady as
being evil 😉 Schmoolyboy I think I know who you are
and thank you, you write short messages that say facts
instead of endlessly long messages that quote links
from everywhere and don’t say anything 🙂

This is new instead of alot of people practicing
medicine without a license I think mindvox has its
first doctor practicing without a name 🙂 🙂 🙂

The three of you should go do talk shows. Even without
ibogaine you’d make a great sitcom 🙂 Very smart
crazy people talking about drugs 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Love to everyone here!

Silymarin and Silybin (the

Life Extension makes good quality sily stuff. Why
take milk thistle when  the
other alkaloids it contains are of no benefit.

The most important variant on ones EKG is the QT
interval  and the QTc  (QT
corrected for heart rate) If the QTc is prolonged,
Ibo can be a risk. No  meds
that are QT prolongers should be on board prior to
taking IBO. Many common
meds and foods are QT prolongers i.e.; grapefruit
and quinine.

Ventricular ectopy on an EKG is also important
(extra irregular beats  from
the hearts ventricles-bottom pumps). The best way to
check this is by  a 24
hour holter monitor (essentially, a 24 hour
cardiogram) . Atrial ectopy  (extra
beats from the hearts atrium or top pumping chambers
is okay ). Ischemia  (lack
of blood supply to the coronary arteries) is always
a worry.

Hep c is of no concern, unless the liver is not
healthy and this would show
elevated liver enzymes at least 2 1/2 above normal.
It’s not what disease you
have but what condition your liver is in that is of
importance.

I don’t share much and don’t get to check the list
very often as I travel a
lot but I hope this info is of some value to
someone. If it’s not and you guys
want me to shut up-just  say so and I will cease
and desist.

Hey, I’ve been on the list for well over a year and I don’t know who Schmoolyboy is. Am I an idiot? Don’t answer that. Its been a month now and I am amazed at the results. I read for a year everything I could get my hands on and I still got a real surprise. A couple of times. I never expected it to affect me musically but it has. In a good way. I’ve been thinking, ( thats some dangerous shit for me), seems for me anyway that the best advertisement we could give Ibogaine is to stay clean. I’ve never ever felt like I could do that before. Even when I was clean for a couple of years I hated it and I wouldn’t have been clean were it not for being on paper. You don’t want to know about that. I’m going back to work in a couple of weeks and I won’t be on the list as much so I must say this again. Thanx again Patrick if it were not for this list I would surely be lost in the fog of addiction. I will owe you for life and somehow I will make it up to you. Please allow me to. O yea, What does anyone think about going public with a song about Ibogaine? Is it time? I think so. I’m aiming at the Alt.blues Alt. country stations. The only ones intelligent enough to handle the subject. Thats not the only song but most of them are pretty twisted so I think thats the market for me. I’ll have tracks down in a couple of weeks.

Ron, I don’t want to get in the middle of anything but, I think you said you could travel so here goes. There is Ibogaine available in Mexico, Panama,England,Canada,theUkraine I think, and I’m not sure where Sara is but she is in Europe around Amsterdam I think. I know I left some out. The point is Ibogaine is available if you look for it. Self education is a must if you want Ibogaine treatment so look around, call the people and make a deal. Have you read some of the accounts of peoples experience? If you have a hard time finding the numbers for treatment providers get a hold of me off list and I will help you. Randy

Dear Sean,

Here are my thoughts on the issue, as I managed the care of hundreds of HIV and Hep C folks before I changed jobs. The major side effects we watch for when using HIV meds are lactic acidosis (caused by NRTI’s) and symptoms that result from combining the protease inhibitors with other drugs that are metabolized using the cytocrome P450 pathway.

Ibogaine has been studied to see if it uses this pathway, and it doesn’t seem to :

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9698290

Sean asked a question, Jamilah gave an answer based upon her opinion.  The conclusion she derived from reading that link up there, is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the abstract she is quoting, actually says.

“The primary metabolite arises via O-demethylation at the 12-position to yield 12-hydroxyibogamine. In this report, evidence is presented that the O-demethylation of ibogaine observed in human hepatic microsomes is catalyzed primarily by the polymorphically expressed cytochrome P-4502D6 (CYP2D6).”

“Thus, it is concluded that ibogaine O-demethylase is catalyzed by CYP2D6 and that this isoform is the predominant enzyme of ibogaine O-demethylation in humans.”

CYP2D6 is the PRIMARY pathway by which ibogaine is metabolized, and anything that competes, is not good.

PLEASE keep in mind that this is a discussion list.  Many people have conversations, share their opinions, or just hang out, interact, rant, and communicate.  This does not necessarily mean that the answers which are given are correct.

Over the years there are a variety of individuals who have actually written the monographs people are quoting — and sometimes misinterpreting — here, who answered questions about their own work, which has appeared in peer-reviewed journals.  There have been numerous occasions where someone DID actually ANSWER A QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED.  Directly and exactly.

For the most part what happens after that is someone will say sumthin’ like, “But my brother’s, wife’s, cousin’s next-door-neighbor once read a book, which said something completely different.  I think…”  And then, the person who gave the correct answer will land on, “Well, ya know what, someone asked a question.  I know the answer.  I gave the answer.  Instead of thank you I have half a dozen idiots starting an argument with me, so why don’t I just not bother.  I can certainly find something more entertaining to do with my free time.”

This is in reference to Yet Another CYP2D6 conversation which occured a while back, not this one.  Everybody has been polite this time.  Which is very cool.  Thank you.

The answer Mistah schmoolY gave is correct.  He does know exactly what he’s talking about.  Many of you pretty much know who he is.  Probably he has reasons for not wanting to directly attach his name to any statement made here.

And please try to keep in mind, that there are many people here who could easily answer a variety of questions that are posed.  For the most part, nearly all of them are M.D.s or Ph.D.s; they are not activists or participants in the Holy Crusade.  They are not being compensated for their time.  And probably they don’t want to chat — much less argue.  So…  Just be decent to each other.

Thanks,

Patrick

I’m not saying that what you said is wrong but could someone please
explain which is it? Stop all hiv meds or keep taking them. I don’t
have hiv and I’m not doing ibo but in the last couple days there have
been answers given that don’t coincide at all on any of the points and
I’d like to know the answer!

You and Patrick cross talk with each other and do male bonding 😉 Since
your doing it in public and on the list, could I ask why you won’t use

Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] Fw: Marijuana IS a Dangerous Drug

Cannabis didn’t kill him, he hilled himself.  He was probably using drugs to escape some form of pain. Although Cannabis may not have helped him, I guarantee it wasn’t hurting him.  Alcohol is a depressant and that is probably what really agrravated his condition.  Sorry for her loss, and I know she needs something or someone to blame, but Cannabis is the last thing she should attribute her sons death to, IMO.
CE

I am a Probation/Parole Agent from Wisconsin, and I am fighting my own war
against the very dangerous drug, marijuana.  My son was an every day user of
the killer, and at the age of 24 he took his life.  Prior, he was so
depressed from using marijuana and alcohol together  so the doctor put him
on medication, which only made the situation worse..  He shot himself in
February of 2001.
Adam said to me when he was younger that marijuana was not a dangerous drug
but just prior to his death, he did say to me, “You know, Mom, marijuana is
really dangerous, isn’t it?”  If only I would have known.
Adam was extremely intelligent, and in fact,  when he took his tests to get
into the tech school, his counselor told him, he didn’t belong there, he
belonged in a four year program, – but he didn’t work to his potential
because of his drug usage, so he didn’t get the grades he needed.
I now go to schools, prisons, churches, recovery groups, just anywhere
anyone asks me to go and I tell “Adam’s Story”.  It is extremely powerful,
and I have turned this awful negative into a positive. Just this year alone,
I have done it 47 times, so you can see it is in demand.
From my experience of being a Probation/Parole Agent, I also can speak about
real life situations of my clients and their use of marijuana.  They say it
is not addictive, but the number of clients that risk the possibility of
going to jail because they can not NOT use is staggering.  The drug has
messed up so many lives.
The message I give is the danger of using marijuana, especially when someone
takes medication, and I  foil the idea that it is harmless.
In “Adam’s Story”. I tell his life as he grew up, I talk about his
addiction, his suicide, and my journey through grief.  Do you know, they
wouldn’t let me see him, hold him, touch him, they wouldn’t let me say
good-bye?  He is JUST gone.
It is SO powerful.  You should see the letters I have gotten and what people
say.  I went into a treatment center in one of the prisons, and Adam’s
picture is in the display case at the center with the caption “ALCOHOL AND
DRUGS TOOK THIS MAN’S LIFE AT THE AGE OF 24”.  The guys don’t know who he
is, and then I come in and tell his story.  One time, there was a guy in the
audience who was going to quit the program, and after hearing the story, he
couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind.  On the day he successfully
completed the program, he gave his social worker a big drawing, and it was
of the picture of Adam in the display case.  He told his social worker he
couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind, and he had to do something.  He
asked the social worker to send me the picture.  I have it framed and
hanging in my living room.  I am trying to turn this awful negative into a
positive.
Sometimes I wonder, am I making a difference, but I got a letter from a 15
year old boy who was in a treatment center, who wrote and said that he had
been suicidal since the previous July, and hearing my story, he will never
do that to his mother.  His counselor, who had been seeing him for some
time, didn’t even know he was suicidal.
Thank you for letting me tell you what I am doing, and hopefully all of us
together can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Linda Kroll

Hi Jeff,

From my experience,   you will most probably need few booster doses.
I would advise you to take a small booster dose few days after you got some sleep.

All the best wishes on your journey.

Onderwerp: [Ibogaine] attn MD’s a question pre treatment

Hello Ibogaine list
I am lucky enough to be able to say that I am scheduled to do an ibogaine treatment in the very very near future.
I have a concern that I hope one of the knowledgeable medical people out there can look at and comment on….perhjaps off list if that is preferred.
I have had an EKG that looks normal and all my blood work pertaining to liver function looks fine as well.  The only thing that concerns me and may concern the provider is a very high tryglyceride count… I have been prescribed medication for this as part of an ongoing attempt to reduce this number but i have not started to take it yet as i do not want to introduce any other chemicals into myself before the ibogaine treatment. (not sure how smart that sounds *s*)
The exact level is approximately 600 and the norm is about 120 (sorry not sure of the units) in other words I am about 5X normal.
Is this something that should preclude me doing the treatment?
I am very very motivated now, I am on workers comp from a minor accident at work (I am an electrician on large new construction projects) and have the time. I am doing the treatment to be done with the Methadone that I am on now and have been on for 9 years at about 50 mgs I want to experience life without the opiated haze that I feel is stifling my emotional growth and more.
Thanks
And please understand I feel very awkward in looking for medical advice on the free ..if I am out of line here just say so. I just figured that here on this list  there may be people (DR’s/MD’s??) with medical knowledge along with access and understanding of this very specialized subject.
Thanks again

Question about the conference in new orleans would be
the same one I have. I would be interested in what
people say but the only conference reviews I have been
able to find through searches online which were any
good are the Dutch conference
http://www.doraweiner.org/e_w_report.html#invite
the London conference
http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/News/2001London.html
Then recordings of the society addiction medicine
conference on puzzlepiece
http://www.puzzlepiece.org/ibogaine/csam/csam.html

Otherwise there are only listings but not much else
interesting that happened and mindvox has great photos
but no write ups of what happened after 2001.
http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/News

Will there be coverege of new orleans?

thanks

Cannabis didn’t kill him, he hilled himself.  He was probably using drugs to escape some form of pain. Although Cannabis may not have helped him, I guarantee it wasn’t hurting him.  Alcohol is a depressant and that is probably what really agrravated his condition.  Sorry for her loss, and I know she needs something or someone to blame, but Cannabis is the last thing she should attribute her sons death to, IMO.
CE

I am a Probation/Parole Agent from Wisconsin, and I am fighting my own war
against the very dangerous drug, marijuana.  My son was an every day user of
the killer, and at the age of 24 he took his life.  Prior, he was so
depressed from using marijuana and alcohol together  so the doctor put him
on medication, which only made the situation worse..  He shot himself in
February of 2001.
Adam said to me when he was younger that marijuana was not a dangerous drug
but just prior to his death, he did say to me, “You know, Mom, marijuana is
really dangerous, isn’t it?”  If only I would have known.
Adam was extremely intelligent, and in fact,  when he took his tests to get
into the tech school, his counselor told him, he didn’t belong there, he
belonged in a four year program, – but he didn’t work to his potential
because of his drug usage, so he didn’t get the grades he needed.
I now go to schools, prisons, churches, recovery groups, just anywhere
anyone asks me to go and I tell “Adam’s Story”.  It is extremely powerful,
and I have turned this awful negative into a positive. Just this year alone,
I have done it 47 times, so you can see it is in demand.
From my experience of being a Probation/Parole Agent, I also can speak about
real life situations of my clients and their use of marijuana.  They say it

It is SO powerful.  You should see the letters I have gotten and what people

audience who was going to quit the program, and after hearing the story, he
couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind.  On the day he successfully
completed the program, he gave his social worker a big drawing, and it was
of the picture of Adam in the display case.  He told his social worker he
couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind, and he had to do something.  He
asked the social worker to send me the picture.  I have it framed and
hanging in my living room.  I am trying to turn this awful negative into a

Sometimes I wonder, am I making a difference, but I got a letter from a 15

Ron, there ‘ain’t’ no secret handshake. Some of us have met in the city at an Ibogaine aftercare meeting and some of us haven’t. We just know whats up by reading this list and finding out what we have to individually. I felt the same way when I first started seeking out Ibogaine. It is the answer my friend. I never thought I could stop methadone again. I was prepared to take it the rest of my life. However long that would have been, it was starting to do nasty things to my body.                           Randy   PS stick around you’ll see.

Hi list,
Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you
amazing people…I feel fortunate to have met each and
every one of you.
I am to be treated today.  I will begin my ascent at
approximately 8pm, and Andrea will be my ‘shaman-ess’.
I am REALLY looking forward to this- today is lucky
day 13 post methadone, and I have stabilized(more or
less) on approximately 35mg Morphine/day.  I think it
will be a breeze to detox off this amount, and am
looking forward to finally being free.  Emancipation,
my brothas and sistahs…
Please keep me in your thoughts.  I will post as soon
as I am able to..
love Julie

Yea I know Martee I’m hip to the village had been dreaming of going there a long time. Now all I have to do is play there. I’m just sayin’ another guy in the South and I’m not like the rest of them in the South. South is south for my project. I have few things in mind. Music being one. I will be in Nashville at some point, I have a lot friends there.    Randy

Hi Preston- I understand your dilemma.. I’ve long ago given up on the fact that a candidate who truly represented most of my ideals is unlikely to ever get elected, but I look at it the same way as addiction.  It’s really about harm reduction.  Who will reduce harm the most – and then you can only play the hand we’re dealt.  Sorry to be off topic, but I would vote for my dad (who’s old and senile) if it would get Bush out.
Best to all who are receiving ibo.  I’m interested in the low dose therapy and saw someone refer to it a while ago.  Can anyone with any info contact me privately?  It would be greatly appreciated!!  swbooker@hotmail.com

this stuff is all about?

Hello,

Ibogaine is an ancient natural tribal remedy which was discovered in the Tabernanthe Iboga shrub native to Gabon and other nations in West Central Africa. It has long been used in shamanic rituals of initiation and spiritual quests.

In more recent times Ibogaine has been discovered to interrupt addiction, usually with minimal withdrawal, and a “true full physiological release from chemical dependency.

It seems to work by neurochemically transporting the addict to a physically and psychologically pre addicted state.  Pre clinical trials have shown ibogaine to reduce self administration of cocaine, opiates, and amphetamines. Ibogaine seems to reduce dopamine concentrations in the body.  Ibo seems to reverse the dopamine stimulating action of certain highly abusive and addictive drugs by acting as an antagonist. Ibogaine is also thought to affect serotongeric transmission in the brain as well.

At high doses, ibogaine is capable of producing vision and hallucinations. The visions subside usually after 24 hours into a state of relaxation. The visions sometimes cause a dramatic resurgence of repressed memory; for some this a key in discovering why addiction occurred in the first place.

Hope this helps. I tired to be brief. There are many on this list who can further flesh this out for you. Just ask questions as you have been.

Ibogaine treatment helped end a 20 year crack habit and more recnetly dope habilt for me. The oppertunity to have addiction interrupted has been nothing short of glorious for me. I am living life free form the chains of needle and crack pipe. It did take two treatments for me. After the second, I really made some major changes which really seem to be helping. In this case the old rule of  removing using people from my life has been essential.

Best of luck in your search for ibogaine treatment. There are many here who can attest to ibogaine’s efficacy and worth.:)

Peace,
Sean

Randy,
He’s not from the south,  (i’m guessing)  he’s living in the south.  I always heard southerners didn’t consider florida south because it’s too full of newyorkers!   Have you ever heard that?  St.Marks and the Filmore are (were) in the east village. The very same streets we walked on to get to the park.  My paternal family is from Fla. I find it refreshing that you have pride in your roots.              Martee

Well, I’ve been called a red neck but never metaphysically inclined. It is a new day in the world. It works, I’ve been doing dope almost as long as you, I started in 72. I kicked a real nasty methadone habit 3 weeks ago. Total today I slept for about 9 and a half hours. No way when I kicked before without Ibo could I sleep for 9 hours after 3 weeks. I couldn’t sleep for three months. No kidding. There is a ton of info out there on Ibogaine. Do a google or just look around. I studied up for a year before the current situation created an opportunity for me. Be specific with any questions and I’m sure I or someone else will answer them.

Guy, if you have a good EKG and decent liver function your pretty much in. Who ever does you will want to see reports. I haven’t had good sleep in years either till now. I was pretty cooked too. Just got thru with the Hep C protocol but my liver functions were exellent for my condition. I had been on methadone and heroin or oxy’s for about 20 years.   Randy

I would suggest your first line of inquiry be to the international ibogaine
provider list that can be found at:
http://www.ibogaine.co.uk.options.htm

And then you have to made a knowledgeable decision.

The Ibogaine Bill of Rights will give you an idea of your rights as an
ibogaine patient and questions you should be asking of any provider.

I am one of the few people who fell into ibogaine. Most people have to seek
it out.

I dont know you. You dont know me. But you know what I do know? That jump from Meth to Morph was something to be proud of. It shows strength. It shows wisdom. Taking the Ibo shows surrender and determination at the same time and I just want to say. Julie. Here in Winnipeg Manitoba youve got me lit. And my little candle. We are both inspired and sending you our best energies. A toast to no more fear.

A new Web site exposes stoolies and undercover agents. Legal?
Apparently. Ethical? In the eye of the beholder.

Think somebody’s a rat? That a partner in crime may be grabbing a
get-out of-jail free card for diming you out to UncleSam? Well, life
in the underworld just got a little bit easier for paranoid
criminals everywhere.

A new Web site, www.whosarat.com., is taking the guesswork out of
figuring out who the family’s Ralph Natale or Phil Leonetti might be
before it’s too late. Rather than waiting for a shifty look, all a
crook has to do now to investigate his fellow criminals – or dem
damn gumshoes – is figure out how to use a Web browser. From there,
they can click on the site’s “informants” or “government agents”
sections to see who may be investigating him, her or youse. Suffice
it to say, the Web site has the local crime world in a tizzy.

“It’s intimidation,” complains a local organized-crime
investigator. “If some low-life drug dealer or hot-head gangster
finds me on that Internet site, sees my photo, it endangers my life.
It makes me and my family unsafe. Makes it damn hard for me to do my
job.”

Understandably, the criminals feel quite differently.

“It’s about time there was something like this for us to use,” one
longtime Philly mob associate tells City Paper. “Now we can figure
who’s ratting us out to the FBI. This Internet thing is crazy, ain’t
it? It evens out our odds!”

This Internet thing, which went online last week, is the creation of
Sean Bucci, a 31-year-old wedding reception/nightclub disc jockey
from suburban Boston who was busted last summer on the word of a
longtime heroin addict turned paid informant. He says the addict was
a Drug Enforcement Administration informant who allegedly admitted
to lying to agents in another narcotics investigation. This same
snitch once reportedly described his technique as “sitting in a bar,
listening to other people talk about drugs” and then feeding second-
hand information to eager narcotics agents.

Bucci went to high school with the snitch but lost touch until a
chance encounter at a nightclub six years ago. According to Bucci,
the informant bragged to the feds that he had sold grass to Bucci.
Bucci had no arrest record; the snitch grabbed $7,000 for the info.

Based on the snitch’s word, DEA agents set up a pole camera outside
Bucci’s house for nine months. They found nothing, but a source
close to the investigation says that when they finally arrested
Bucci, the DEA seized more than 100 kilos of marijuana from Bucci’s
house. Bucci did not make bail for 11 months and spent the
time “listening to the horror stories of out-of-control informants
making stuff up for money and putting people in jail who had no
business being there,” he says.

While reading the DEA debriefing reports in his case, Bucci says he
discovered that the snitch offered up the name of a Bucci drug
customer to DEA agents only to admit, a month later, that the very
same customer really was a customer of the snitch and had nothing to
do with Bucci. But even after the snitch admitted he lied, Bucci
says, the DEA continued its investigation.

Bucci was furious to discover that law enforcement investigators
routinely “recruit junkies and other criminals as informants. These
people have long criminal records, but the police just make their
charges go away.”

Bucci tells City Paper he established the site to “snitch on the
snitches.” And when it comes to legality, he says he’s in the clear
because a federal judge in Alabama allowed a drug defendant to post
online “wanted” posters seeking information about witnesses.

Whosarat.com is “a Web site for attorneys and defendants with few
resources to post and share information on snitches and
investigators,” he adds. “It’s about free speech and fair trials. It
doesn’t matter how bad these people are, the government takes them
seriously.”

The site also carries snitch-related news, including the case of a
drug dealer turned paid informant who allegedly murdered five people
while U.S. Customs agents listened over a telephone.

In its first week of existence, whosarat.com culled information
about more than 50 snitches and law-enforcement agents, some of whom
get “rat of the week” billing. As for assertions that he’s
endangering investigators, Bucci says, “It’s not about intimidation
or putting people in harm’s way. It’s about exposing law
enforcement’s dirty little secret. It’s about the police giving
criminals a badge and telling them, “Go around, find something on
somebody.'”

I wrote that I’m thinking I might actually cast a vote for Kerry,
But then I hear people like Norman Soloman, who is debating Zeese now on Democracy Now,
“Progressives” who simply come across, to me, sounding shrill and anti-democratic to the extreme. The reasoning on the part of Soloman is that people who say they are voting for Nader would be voting more for Kerry than for Bush, and that Nader is having the gall to campaign in states where the race is close, those infamous “swing” states, and he should stop. But Nader is running a campaign too, and has every right to draw attention to the glaring fact that Kerry is leaning far to the right too, “leaving the base behind,” to quote Zeese.
Seems to me that if people are voting for a candidate, it’s because they like what s/he is saying and what they think that candidate stands for- hence giving their vote to that candidate. If a candidate isn’t able to convince a voter of the merit of their position, it isn’t even slightly the fault of a third-party candidate, it’s the fault of the candidate, like Kerry, who isn’t saying or doing the things those third-party supporters are waiting/wanting to see and hear.
So once again I find myself feeling completely ill when thinking I might actually cast my vote for Kerry. I’m saddened that I have to make this awful decision, one that isn’t going to be a “win” no matter who I vote for, the person I really want as President or one I think is less bad. (And please, don’t tell me that I should just vote for Kerry then if I think that because that’s not the point, or at least, I don’t want to read it.)
I understand the point that Bush has to be ejected, which is why I’m leaning in that horrid fashion towards giving Kerry my vote, but I still find the reasoning that Nader doesn’t have the right to run and should just drop out to be disgusting and wrongheaded. It’s not American, or not the American I want anyway. There are so many people who didn’t vote last time around, people Kerry should be focusing on- but Kerry is trying to “fight the war to win” when the war is totally wrong to begin with and we need to end it no matter what- leave and try a totally different tact than what we’re doing now. (I’m not saying abandon Iraq, since we screwed it up, but we have to get the troops out and rebuild it a different way, like say for instance paying Iraqis from afar to rebuild and if they don’t it’s not our fault then.)
Grrr. what to do, what to do. I see the merits of both sides, and I’m usually pretty good at weighing others’ arguments before making my decisions on this and that, but this has me in knots.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Hi list,

Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you
amazing people…I feel fortunate to have met each and
every one of you.

I am to be treated today.  I will begin my ascent at
approximately 8pm, and Andrea will be my ‘shaman-ess’.
I am REALLY looking forward to this- today is lucky
day 13 post methadone, and I have stabilized(more or
less) on approximately 35mg Morphine/day.  I think it
will be a breeze to detox off this amount, and am
looking forward to finally being free.  Emancipation,
my brothas and sistahs…

Please keep me in your thoughts.  I will post as soon
as I am able to..

love Julie

Thanks Jamilah,
It might go up at DrugWar.com sometimes soon too, but I’m not yet sure. I feel kinda funny writing up my own event, but no one else seems to be, so why not?
;-)))
The photo is attached- for those not at the party, this is Jamilah, a subscriber to the ibogaine list, giving me the honor of signing her copy of “Under the Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs,” at the book release party at Uncle Ming’s in the Lower East Side of Manhattan last Thursday night.
(My Dad sent me some photos, and in most all of them there this big pinkish/peach colored thing in the lower right corner- I think it’s his bent pinky. Coincidentally enough, though we aren’t related by blood, my Dad and I have both damaged out right pinkies, leaving them bent and off-centered- but they look cool when I’m drinking something, as they give me and he both that sophisticated air, leaving our bent pinkies in the air as we sip demurely from our beverages. It also apparently makes him leave it somewhat in the picture when he takes photographs. (He injured it in that car accident I’ve mentioned once or twice, the one that introduced me to opiates way back when, and he can’t feel his right hand at all, so I’m guessing he simply isn’t aware that it’s in the way like it is here somewhat.)
On a completely unrelated topic, Amy Goodman just reported on Democracy Now that marijuana arrests have more than doubled in the US since 1993, and now total more than all arrests for all violent crimes put together. (So that puts this note squarely on topic, as does the next tid-bit too.)
My friend Kevin Zeese, who was heading up Common Sense for Drug Policy (and might still but I think they’re closed as an active org at the moment- just maintaining a website at most for now I think, but please don’t hold me to that) is Ralph Nader’s spokesperson during this campaign, and Zeese will be on Goodman’s show in a little while this morning- not sure exactly what time though, just during this episode anyway- so if anyone else is interested in hearing the reasons why someone so intelligent and friendly and flat out cool would choose to not only vote for but represent Nader to the press this time ’round, please tune in. I myself am still totally undecided. That said, V and I were discussing this last night, both of us voicing our fears that things are just so freakin’ bad right now that we both very well might find ourselves violating our principles and voting for Kerry anyway. I mean, he was the lead and almost only one too, pushing for the Iran-Contra investigations, and he did voice strong opposition to the Vietnam War, after actually serving there too, and hell, he does leave me feeling less icky than Bush does- I just don’t know yet. I’d hate to do it actually, and I think everyone here knows how I feel about our current “choices” for President, but things really, really suck right now, and I’m having some trouble believing that Kerry is going to do things in the Bush fashion, like for instance insisting that protestors showing up to see him speak be arrested for wearing t-shirts he doesn’t like or appreciate, as the Bush crew is and has been already doing.
Hell, I probabably won’t make up my mind for sure until that morning. The polling booth is right across the street at the elementary school outside and below my window, and the screaming, out of control children/students will do their usual best in waking me up bright and early (if I’m not already awake when they arrive) so I’ll probably be there with the rising sun to throw the lever for whomever it is I do end up voting for. Kerry did just come out with a somewhat positive statement about Oregon’s medical marijuana patients too didn’t he, saying he’d keep the feds from raiding and arresting them as they are now? Yes, apparently he did:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/10/10/MNG0996S2L1.DTL

So while I personally feel that Kerry isn’t really much better (keeping fellow Democrat Bill Clinton’s record when it comes to the War on Some Drugs and Users in mind) in many areas, and will probably keep up the killing and destruction for a while, he very well might turn around on Nov. 3 and shed his “I’m kissing corporate/warmongering butt” image and put back on his honorable, “I’m my own man” mantle again. I’ve been a dreamer for a long time now, so perhaps this is the dream I might be dreaming come Nov. 2. I might still go with the Green candidate, or even Nader, but I’m leaning towards Kerry at the moment, just because I’m so damned frightended of the Bush people.
I hate this feeling, and I suspect that those in charge of things like that, that I and so many others are getting so worked up over something that really, in the end of the day, isn’t that important to the day to day operation of my life, that is really mainly a puppet show no matter how I cut it. Still, I will participate. Am I brainwashed too, regardless of how awake I consider myself?

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Dear Sean,

Here are my thoughts on the issue, as I managed the care of hundreds of
HIV
and Hep C folks before I changed jobs. The major side effects we watch for
when using HIV meds are lactic acidosis (caused by NRTI’s) and symptoms
that
result from combining the protease inhibitors with other drugs that are
metabolized using the cytocrome P450 pathway.

Ibogaine has been studied to see if it uses this pathway, and it doesn’t
seem to :

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9698290

nor does 18-methoxycoronaridine, an ibogaine analog:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12019193

The main drug interaction from Ibogaine, from what I understand, is the
risk
of Torsades do Pointes (TdP). Here is a list of meds that do have that
side
effect,

http://www.arizonacert.org/medical-pros/drug-lists/drug-lists.htm#

and only one HIV meds (foscarnate) is listed on the “possible” TdP list. I
was surprised methadone is on this list, as a definite inducer, and it’s
well known that persons getting Ibogaine are often on methadone, and I
haven’t heard of the incidence of TdP being  higher in those folks. But
maybe Howard could speak to that.

Anyway, as I remember HIV infection was listed as a contraindication, but
Sara says she treats (if I recall) and i don’t see a special reason why
not,
if the CD4 is decent  (over 300) and a low viral load. Risk of staying
drug
dependant versus benefit of getting clean would have to be weighed…

I would be interested in knowing how your CD4 and viral load compare to
before your Ibogaine treatment, although changes may or may not be related
to the Ibogaine.

Hope this info is helpful…
It was nice getting to meet you briefly at Preston’s…
Peace,
Jamilah

Hi again list,

While I was fortunate to be on a drug holiday during treatment, many who
get
ibo tx who have HIV/AIDS will still be on meds. Is there anything I should
tell such a person about ibo and the cocktail? Is it necessary to come off
HIV cocktails during ibo tx? Any known interactions with any particular
HIV
drugs?

I know there is wide difference of opinion about HIV meds on this list. I
am really interested in being to answer these questions as I approach
other
addicts who have HIV.

Anyone who knows anything about the question of HIV drugs and ibo, help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

So fucking happy that your time is coming soon Fake P!!!!  My addiction as you know was crack and H. Was not physically addicted at time of treatment. I was off the wall happy several days after treatment. Full of light, love and energy for the world.

Over the last three weeks the glow has diminished some, but regular contact with ibonoughts in NYC has been a life saver. I really feel community is crucial. I have had really minimal thoughts to use, and no craving this time out. (second treatment as you know).

Really glad to see that so many are continuing the trend of finding the list and then seeking treatment.  While ibo is still understandably inaccessible for many on the list, it is really heartening to see so many ready to take their journey.

Rock on!

Norris,
I am referring to my ibogaine session, 75 days ago.  As some of the others are weaning of the methedone with other substances, I did the same.  However I went back on H., I should say full time as I never really stopped.  In two weeks time I believe it made a possible difference.  Someone else I know reduced their meth intake to a lower dose and has also been clean for over 2 mos since ibogaine although they choose not to post on the list.   I have tried to quit drugs a thousand times in the past 22 years.  The only success was with the ibogaine.  In my mind there is no other way.  I am horrified to hear pain specialists are putting people on methedone for pain management.  It’s at a time like this I think it would be good if Dantes Inferno was a reality.
About quitting in the past.  It was always about if I could just get this out of my body I’ll be ok. I reduced my dose down to 11 mg. once. I was on a liquid so I could go all the way down to 1 mg., which was the plan. As much strength and conviction I thought existed ,the physical, raw nerves and emotional stuff all surfaces once I got below 20mg.  I was never higher than 60mgs. ever.  I realized early on that no matter how high you go your body adapts and it’s all the same.  The ibogaine, a gift from the Gods, is the complete opposite and equal action your brain needs to get it all out.  There was still physical, and emotional stuff but it doesn’t have that raw suffering quality like before.  I feel at peace.
My impression is if its on the list its open info, so no you are in no way being nosey. I thank you for your reply.
I wish for you the peace of a grounded decision.                 Be well,
Martee

Subject: [Ibogaine] hiv and ibo

Hi again list,

While I was fortunate to be on a drug holiday during treatment, many who
get
ibo tx who have HIV/AIDS will still be on meds. Is there anything I should
tell such a person about ibo and the cocktail? Is it necessary to come off
HIV cocktails during ibo tx? Any known interactions with any particular
HIV
drugs?

I know there is wide difference of opinion about HIV meds on this list.  I
am really interested in being to answer these questions as I approach
other
addicts who have HIV.

Anyone who knows anything about the question of HIV drugs and ibo, help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

Hello,
I can tell you what was best for me before ibogaine.  I learned a little not a lot before my session.  Even before I learned  the information, I  JUST KNEW THIS WAS THE RIGHT THING.  I KNEW IN MY HEART AND WENT IN WITH BLIND FAITH,that I had been guided to where I needed to be.
My only advise is to post your date beforehand and know that there will be good thoughts, prayers, blessings ,support and love being sent your way to help you through your session and after.
Instead of being so much in your head, try your heart. Also deep slow breaths can help soooo much!
Hope I don’t offend.
Let the light in,
Martee

So fucking happy that your time is coming soon Fake P!!!!  My addiction as you know was crack and H. Was not physically addicted at time of treatment. I was off the wall happy several days after treatment. Full of light, love and energy for the world.

Over the last three weeks the glow has diminished some, but regular contact with ibonoughts in NYC has been a life saver. I really feel community is crucial. I have had really minimal thoughts to use, and no craving this time out. (second treatment as you know).

Really glad to see that so many are continuing the trend of finding the list and then seeking treatment.  While ibo is still understandably inaccessible for many on the list, it is really heartening to see so many ready to take their journey.

Rock on!

Hi Jamilah,

It was really nice meeting you at Preston’s party. BTW I had a great time, unfortunately I had to leave early as I had work early the next day, and was having transportation concerns. Thanks so much for the info on HIV and ibo.  These questions are cropping up regularly in the NY metro area so it is great to have some science behind one in attempting to answer them. Yes, for me the risk of continuing my crack and H use certainly did not compare with ibogaine risk.

My t cell did go up substantially post ibo (570-675), my liver enzymes dropped from 400-15. So my doctor and I were really happy with the numbers. As you said, there is no definitive way to correlate ibo and good numbers, although I am certain that interrupting addiction (crack, dope and booze) is certainly going to lead to a healthier immune system in any case, so in this way the ibo TX was certainly part of my healing. Viral load stayed the same at about 1900.

Am so damn pleased that Jasen and Jeff are getting treatment soon, please continue to keep posting as the hour draws near.  And I do have candles ready. Thanks to all who lit candles for me.  It was so wonderful to feel that worldwide love as I was being treated.

Been so busy living life after crack/H slavery that I do not get post as often as I used too, but it sure is nice to back with you Mindvoxians. Perhaps some of you can get to New Orleans for the harm Reduction conference. Ibogaine is a main feature.

Take care all for now. To those in the trenched, be strong. No matter where you are in the struggle whether waiting for treatment or having just shot up, don’t let any one tell you are any less a human being deserving of love and compassion just cause you have an addiction. A sane world would be sending more light your way instead of the shit that so many of us are handed.  On the one hand in the US, for example they way we have a disease, then they lock us up in huge numbers for supposedly being sick. Makes me sick any way.:)

I’m out.

Stay strong.

Peace y’all,
Sean

Hi  Lori,
My date was Thursday, August 12th.  I was never really aware of the number of days that have elapsed since then.  However, checking my calendar today is 75 days and Nov. 9th is my 90th.  I don’t necesarily think there’s anything productive in the day counting like they do in na/aa.  Although there’s always a possibility it serves a purpose for some.  Sometimes I hear responses from my brain that I recognize as not originating from me, stuff that was drilled in over the years that I can immediatley realize I don’t want to own.  Makes me wonder how much of my behavior and reaction and social skills or lack thereof still fall into that catagory.  It’s just an observation, not an obsession. That rebirth thing keeps surfacing.
When you get a chance ,call me to set up a day to talk for an hour where I won’t be in the middle of something or just leaving work.    As always, so nice to hear from you again.
Be well,
Martee

Hi L,
What a very pleasant suprise hearing from you.  Hope you’re having the adventure of a lifetime.  Your presence was missed on my last visit to the city.
It’s getting cold, you got out in time.  Using the list has helped me a lot in that it helps me formulate and organize thoughts out of my scattered brain and onto a concrete visual form I can read for myself. Personally it’s stuff I need to see.
My Brother-in-law gave me a blank journal after my session to write in.  I put some stuff in there but a lot of time it was stareing at a blank page with my brain feeling just as blank.  Not thinking, not feeling anything to write.  My Buddhist practicing brother told me to write about the emptiness!  All that brought to mind was an old song which I originally thought was sung by theFugs and have recently heard it on a Moby Grape Studio Session cd.  It goes” Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing. So I guess I was incorect about the fugs.  It just seemed up their alley from what I can recall of my  younger years.  I had to chuckle when after a month my brother in law asked me if I was ready for another journal.   God love him. He only wants the best for me.  He writes a lot.
The list seems to supply a topic or question which is kind of inspirational, and gets things going.
View a sunset for me,

Martee

Dear Sean,

Here are my thoughts on the issue, as I managed the care of hundreds of HIV and Hep C folks before I changed jobs. The major side effects we watch for when using HIV meds are lactic acidosis (caused by NRTI’s) and symptoms that result from combining the protease inhibitors with other drugs that are metabolized using the cytocrome P450 pathway.

Ibogaine has been studied to see if it uses this pathway, and it doesn’t seem to :

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9698290

nor does 18-methoxycoronaridine, an ibogaine analog:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12019193

The main drug interaction from Ibogaine, from what I understand, is the risk of Torsades do Pointes (TdP). Here is a list of meds that do have that side effect,

http://www.arizonacert.org/medical-pros/drug-lists/drug-lists.htm#

and only one HIV meds (foscarnate) is listed on the “possible” TdP list. I was surprised methadone is on this list, as a definite inducer, and it’s well known that persons getting Ibogaine are often on methadone, and I haven’t heard of the incidence of TdP being  higher in those folks. But maybe Howard could speak to that.

Anyway, as I remember HIV infection was listed as a contraindication, but Sara says she treats (if I recall) and i don’t see a special reason why not, if the CD4 is decent  (over 300) and a low viral load. Risk of staying drug dependant versus benefit of getting clean would have to be weighed…

I would be interested in knowing how your CD4 and viral load compare to before your Ibogaine treatment, although changes may or may not be related to the Ibogaine.

Hope this info is helpful…
It was nice getting to meet you briefly at Preston’s…

How Needle Exchange Programs Fight the AIDS Epidemic

How Needle Exchange Programs Fight the AIDS Epidemic
By BRENT STAPLES

Published: October 25, 2004

Gentrification has sent middle-class pioneers streaming into New York City neighborhoods once known for abandoned buildings and open-air drug markets. This has done wonders for property values and improved police protection. But it has a downside for Daliah Heller, who directs an AIDS prevention program called CitiWide Harm Reduction in the Bronx.
Ms. Heller, an early advocate of syringe exchange programs as a method of preventing AIDS among drug users, has seen tolerance for drug programs decline as neighborhoods get fancier. Local police officers who once viewed addicts as a low priority come down hard, herding them to distant neighborhoods where they quickly lose touch with caseworkers.
CitiWide Harm Reduction is one of nine city syringe exchange programs sanctioned by the state under a law passed in 1992. The New York City program is the largest and most successful in the country. When New York passed its law, about half the city’s addicts were infected with H.I.V., and were regularly passing on those infections to others. Since the syringe exchanges were legalized and expanded, however, the infection rate among addicts has dropped from about 50 percent to a little more than 15 percent.

FakePlacebo, I’m probably not a good judge of normal. I’ve got some issues but who doesn’t. I got treated for a methadone addiction 3 weeks ago last Friday. You’re not on methadone are you? I hope not. Methadone seems to be the hardest to kick. I was on 60 mgs. a day. I have a lot more energy than when I kicked meth without Ibogaine. I don’t quite feel normal but I’m not sure what normal is. I couldn’t sleep well for at least 3 months last time. If sleep pattern is any indicator I’d say I am doing pretty good considering. I know one thing. I have never felt comfortable straight and I have had two 2 year periods of sobriety (one forced) and I hated every minute of it. I don’t feel that way now. I think I can make. I want to make it. I have entirely too much to do. But, as Frank said, there is much work still to be done. I highly recommend Ibogaine treatment. I’ll answer any questions. Off list or on.   Randy

Jeff,
Yes, I was introduced to you before you went for a stroll to talk.  Long dark hair, female and lots of height!  I had to be somewhere, as I would have definitley liked to have stayed to talk with yet another ibo person.  Yes I was aware you are not yet taking the meds.  In my work it is not legal(or safe) for me to tell people not to follow drs orders.  I was just making a few suggestions re: proper research and possible application of such info to ones personal situation.  My main thing in most areas is to go with your intuition, gut  or whatever you want to call it.  There is a therapist in nyc that is ibogaine saavy.  I’m not sure if she’s a psychologist or psychiatrist.  But if I can’t find her # in a timely fashion you can get it from one of the guys.  She has 12 years experience , I believe, with ibo people.   As far as a dr goes I’m not exactly sure what your needs are.  I would hope if one could be found that knew ibogaine (wouldn’t that be a plus) they would be open to getting results in ways other than pharmaceuticals.  Maybe the person who answered your tryglyceride inquiry would be or know someone.
Just curious, what was your workmans comp injury.
Anything you feel is best not in print can wait for a response.  Believe it or not there is a lot I refrain from commenting on here.

New Day! Sorry for the verbal abuse I doled out yesterday. My emotions are RAW!!! I just don’t understand why the most powerful in the Ibo community don’t ever say anything. Is there any wonder that we have taken things in our own nads, I mean hands? I’m sleeping more and more. Just about had a normal nights sleep. Whatever that is. I saw too much of the 60’s (which lookin’ back kinda rules) to just sit and say nothing. I was there when they burnt the ROTC building at UK. My brother was a (albeit young) but just about a full blown anarchist. We watched. I was 9 or 10. Stuck with me the rest of my life. I learned young that if you don’t like what is going on make some fucking noise. I do this with the addicts on the list in mine. I don’t really give much of a damn about anyone else there is not enough room for the Elite right now. Ain’t nobody lookin’ out for us junkies but us. I think we need all the help we can get. But wo to those who forget the power of a bunch of intelligent, reformed and ORGANIZED addict and alcoholics (in my case). Remember what Richard Pryor said?

Hey Jim,

How are you; I totaly agreed what your saying about seccond limited credit card and once I was had to canceled one of my credit card to stop biling to AOL service improperly.

By the way; around 20 days later I will try Ibo with the valuable assistance of Sara and her friend. I left methadon to clean my system with morph Like Julie does.

If you could; give me some hints because I need every information about Iboga. I don’t know why but I’m fright while days are comes  to treatment day.

I read many things on Ibo issues but I suppose I need to learn more. Would you offer me sources that I need to know on net?

How are you? Are you okey? I hope everything goes better for you.

With My Best Regards
FakePlacebo

Hi FakePlacebo,

Everyone seems to have the same story.  One trick is to keep them waiting, like 45 minutes and long distance.  Hey, here in America one bank is coming out with MasterCharge gift cards.  It cost $5 and you can put them at any amount and maybe even add money to them.  I am going to look into it.  Then when the assholes will not quit taking money out you just do not add money.  Then they will send you letters saying we are going to close you account etc. etc.  After they close your account you can put more money on the card.  I think I will keep a card just for the internet.  There is only one internet site that I pay for but who know if that will be hacked.  I will be looking into it in a few days.  They should of had that years ago.  Also, when you buy something from e-bay you can get spammed to death.

Yea, I have had a problem with pay pal, I spent time writing what the problem is and get the same old form letter back.  It is sooooo hard now a days to get a Real Live Person.  The form letter say it should work.  Duh – well if it worked like it should why in the hell would I be writing.  And they want soooo damn much information, it’s none of their business.  Hell, I could buy a car with less hassle.

Good to see you back on line, try Ibo yet?

– JIM

I know them AOL is the international swindling organization.

That’s a really cool story, and have a gut feeling it might be true. Fact is often stranger than fiction, and who could make something like this up? On a different note, AOL ripped me off for $99, (long, long story) but y’all would not believe it if I told you. Unreal. Finally got our Free Legal Service Lawyer (GM/UAW) to tell them to pay the $99 they “stole” from me for service NEVER rendered by the 15th of November, or come to “Sweet Home Alabama” small claims court and defend their actions. Dear God, if you are listening, PLEASE, PLEASE, let them ignore the letter, (like the last 200 they have). This is a 2 year battle by just me, taken probably 100 or 200 hours of my time writing letter after letter, email after email, begging that the last thing I wanted was to go to court. It’s the principle now, Has been. This story is just so unreal, people at work say it defies logic. Now they (AOL) have those commercials where there’s a line of people (every member they have) lined up to ask questions. (“OK, Let ’em in.”) Makes me puke every time I see it. I actually had one girl, I swear to God, asked me why I didn’t call their “help line.” When I told her I did, 3 times in 3 days and waited 45 minutes each time before giving up, she actually said to me,” Everybody has to wait that long.” You should have waited an hour and you might have gotten someone.” You would not believe the rest of this story. But I have a 6 inch folder full if 90% of what went on. Sorry to digress, but Internet companies now (most) do what hey want and know 99.9% of the good, honest customers won’t challenge them. This  001% is going to. Wish me luck. Again, sorry to ramble off subject, but it’s caused me much, much distress.                         Norris
PS Sorry if I offend anyone who may work at AOL, but this is a true story that’s just really no excuse for it going this far. Also everyone watch out for PAYPAL, owned by Ebay. Love Ebay, PAYPAL clipped me for $89. Should have sued them, too, but AOL is in my sights now too much to worry about PAYPAL.

Preston: congradulations on the success of your party. I hope you sell a million books-and that even the less thin of your dancers achieves success (ha, ha). I really wanted to attend, and I got quite cranky about having to leave, but had worn time constraints into the ground.
Martee, I’m so happy you got hooked up technologically. Your posts have been great. You, too, Sean and Marc. Thank you all.
I’m greatful for this list. Peer support is #1, especially if it’s all you can get, but even if it’s not. I wish I’d known about this list when I did mine:
Probably had 1 hour of sleep in 10 days (not much after that for a while) and almost too weak to walk, had to retrain myself. Left my session to go back to a very unstable situation-staying with a woman w/ 7 yr old twins, no money, plus her boyfriend and a friend, plus my friend (massive props for sticking with me), windows open 24/7 in October, in the north. Almost forgot to mention that “Billie Jean/Beat It” was played at top volume for a few hours a day (not the world’s greatest prescription).
I’m too sensitive to reality to call it a worst case scenario! but it was pretty bad (got into a better place and grass and mushrooms helped, eventually). I’m only putting this forward to say that it was all worth it. I can’t stress that enough. For anyone who’s about to take the plunge, or who has just done it and has to go home to some form of shit and crap-it’s worth it. Please wait it out (be it residuals, insomina, bullshit ‘friends’, family, whatever) and give yourself the chance you’ve worked so fucking hard for, don’t waste your effort!
Good luck, everyone!
Thanks to everyone I’ve met and spoken to. I’ve been inspired by you all a hundred different ways.
love and see you next year,
L

MY very slight Southern accent comes to the fore when I’m hanging out with other Southern accented folk, or when I’m very tired sometimes. But it’s very slight, almost unnoticable I’m pretty sure.
I’ve always been facinated by accents, but this is getting waaaaay off topic, so I’ll cut this short.
Have a nice Monday all, or a great one, or a stress free one, or simply an enjoyable one.

Peace and love,
Preston

Roxicet has acetominophen (tylenol) in it. Tylenol should be avoided before taking Ibo and by any one with hep c, or other liver problems. it is very hepato toxic. oxycodone come in 5 and 15 and 30 mg dosages and has nothing in it but oxycodone. Oxy-IR (Instant release) is also pure oxycodone, kinda like short acting oxycontin.

Having a very high triglyceride level (and yours is not all that high) has no bearing on being treated with ibogaine. Cholesterol lowering drugs should be stoped at leat 10 days prior to takinng Ibogaine as they are metabilized by the liver and can effect the conversion of Ibogaine to Noribogaine. Hope this helps and good luck.

Hello Dear Julie,
Love a late breakfeast,I suppose we all do.

I would like very much to reduce my done
however it is far to dangerous for me to
do so at the moment with where I’m at.

I can’t wait to do this,at the same time
I am quite nervous about it.

How am I going to feel after 23 years of my emotoins being anethetised.

I am afraid that the world will probably be to loud.

Don’t get me wrong,I am also very excited
about being a person with NO addictions.

To be able to get up in the morning feeling
good,to get up as early as I want and not
have to wait untill the chemist opens.

To LIVE AGAIN.

Thanks Julie.
Smiles Jasen.:)

(where i’m originally from,) have the prettiest Southern Belle accents you’ve ever laid your ears on. Beautiful. I’ve lived in about 7 southern states, so mines all screwed up.

Hello Ibogaine list
I am lucky enough to be able to say that I am scheduled to do an ibogaine treatment in the very very near future.
I have a concern that I hope one of the knowledgeable medical people out there can look at and comment on….perhjaps off list if that is preferred.
I have had an EKG that looks normal and all my blood work pertaining to liver function looks fine as well.  The only thing that concerns me and may concern the provider is a very high tryglyceride count… I have been prescribed medication for this as part of an ongoing attempt to reduce this number but i have not started to take it yet as i do not want to introduce any other chemicals into myself before the ibogaine treatment. (not sure how smart that sounds *s*)
The exact level is approximately 600 and the norm is about 120 (sorry not sure of the units) in other words I am about 5X normal.
Is this something that should preclude me doing the treatment?
I am very very motivated now, I am on workers comp from a minor accident at work (I am an electrician on large new construction projects) and have the time. I am doing the treatment to be done with the Methadone that I am on now and have been on for 9 years at about 50 mgs I want to experience life without the opiated haze that I feel is stifling my emotional growth and more.
Thanks
And please understand I feel very awkward in looking for medical advice on the free ..if I am out of line here just say so. I just figured that here on this list  there may be people (DR’s/MD’s??) with medical knowledge along with access and understanding of this very specialized subject.
Thanks again

Really though, how many times do you hear comics straight out making “fun” of drug abuse, except the liberal press about Rush. It’s not politically correct anymore. Especially with all the famous actors throwing thier weight around, starting with Betty Ford. It’s the same thing  as making fun of someone with diabetes or cancer, now. A disease. Sure, you may feel slighted at he clinic or doctor, but it’s mostly the ones (patients) who aren’t serious about healing themselves or their recovery, though I can vouch this is not always the case. But there is not really a fair comparision. Somebody famous checks out of Betty Ford and their a hero. Or just admits their problem, their a hero. Go up north someplaces and order iced tea, and your one of the Beverly Hillbillies. Now some of the really bad drug addicts, i.e. theifs, shared needles,pan handling to get money for more dope, gets the rap they deserve. Don’t want help. Same as a dumb ass KKK redneck who preaches hate will hopefully get what he deserves. But now ones a disease, one just amounts to some people being as biased and ignorant as the KKK guy, and justifies it as being “comedy” If people who live down around these parts wold just quit watching thrash such as “Family Guy”, the sponsers would get the message. Quick. I for one do turn it off.

LOL, true, the “Southern White male” gets his share of being the butt of taunting and aggravating, but please do remember, it’s not the “only” group of people left that it’s ok to act like this towards- there’s always us druggies too who get taunted, aggravated and have nasty things said about us, endlessly unfortunately.
Just thought I’d point that out.
Good day to all, one for sure to be lacking in taunts and aggravation too.

The south today is no more racist, stupid, or crimial than any other part of the country. Less so than a lot of parts I can think of. We have had a bad history, but people forget for every stupid, racist redneck that was the root of evil in the 60’s, there were wonderful white people working just as hard for equality for all. It justs gets so old hearing suposedly educated people making fun of us “poor white trailor trash.”  And everyone in the audience laughing their asses off because were the only one’s who are still fair game. Hell, the Nazis and Japanese soldiers slaughtered millions (especially the Nazi’s), and people forgave them enough to drive Mercedes and Toyota’s like nothing ever happened. I was not raised a rasist, no one I know was. Now I know some at work, but they are all  diffeent.colors. Of all the people who transferred down from the north to work in my factory (GM), no one has gone back.Where do the Northern retirees come when they do retire, usually Georgia, Florida, S.C., N.C., Alabama, or another southern state, and love it. Black socks with sandals and all. Anyone who has visited “down here” from up north or anywhere else, will be treated with “Southern Hospitality” and kindness, and a big “y’all come back and see us, ya’ here”? Just wish the comedians and such would cut us some slack. Like I said, say some of the things famous people, or even unfamous people say about our region, culture, or way of life and they’d be sued by just about any other religion, race,  or group of people in a heart beat. We are still the “whipping boys”, I guess because it’s “politically correct” to bash us. Were the only ones left ignorant people can do it to and still get a chuckle how backwards they think we are. Makes me sick. I just change the channel and hope these dopes that say these things never find out what they are missing so they won’t move here.

Dear Jasen,

I’m very happy for you.  Ibogaine is going to rock
your world-just try to reduce your dose as much as you
can.

When I first started substituting the M for the ‘done,
I felt a little, well, “off”-it was weird; even though
I wasn’t in any traditional withdrawal pain, I could
feel the chemical difference.  After day 5, it’s been
pretty smooth sailing.  I only take the M when I feel
I absolutely need it.  I have never exceeded 45mg/day.
Usually I take one every 10-12 hours, but sometimes I
can stretch it out to every 15-16 hours.

I’ve been having the most amazing, vivid dreams ever:
dreams of great, vast journeys, with amazing scenery,
interesting strangers, and sometimes pursuing villans.
I wish I knew more about dream analysis, cuz there
has to be a correlation.

Nov. 12, huh?  I will DEFINITELY light a candle for
you on your day of sojourning…It’s going to blow
your mind, Jasen…be prepared…

Time for a late breakfast..talk to you soon!

love Julie

Norris thanx for helping me prove that all Southerners are not hicks. I sing and play harmonica and sax the best but I learned how to play guitar to write and do solo stuff. I’m almost good enough to call myself a guitar player but, not quite. I know some killer guitar players down in Nashville so its hard to say I can play. One was extremely ROCK and the other was the best blues guitar player I ever played wth. I know some other guys who made it down there too but who can’t compare with those two. I feel like everyone of them gave in to the system. I have got to know at least 15 guys who made it in country that had nothing to do with it till it got hot. Yea I’m talkin’ bout ludes you are the first to see it. I think if I do anything solo I’ll call it MC714. Think that would piss ‘ole Stanley off? Shut up and pass on the Ibogaine or the knowledge of there in. We might could use it for some good. By the time you figure out how to make money on it it will be too late. Just sayin’ (no shrug).

Hi all,

There is also somethig called Rockecet (SP) which is 5 mg of oxycodone all by itself without the aspirin or tylenol.  They are sometime kinda hard to get.

My friend, you can obtain OXY IR, which essentially is percodan or vicodin with out aspirin, tylenol or advil. It’s just oxycodone in varying milligrams. See if you can get a script from a doctor.

Hi Charlie,

FYI, they have Ibuprofin with hydrocodone.  7.5 mg or hydrocodone and I forget how much Ibuprofin.  But they are VERY expensive.  You can maybe check tham out on drugstore.com

Hope it helps.

Not in these parts.

If I took like 10 LT”s (or something similar) that would be 6500 mg. of acetaminophen, not too good for the old liver, perhaps even deadly. The strongest thing I could probaby find would be oxy’s. Don’t know if they’d work or not???

I used to have a email name that ended in 714. Hummm!!! Could it be yo like Royers 25 years ago, too? Anyway, that was not my question. I’m new, so if this is a stupid qustion, excuse um wah. You play music professionally? Guitar? Just curious. I play, just as a hobby, but have a brother who’s played in bands all his life. He’s got a day job too, and kids in college, so the rock dream never worked out for him, but it brings both of us much enjoyment nonetheless. I play mostly acoustic, lot of Beatles, and Todd Rundgren is my hero. Nothing really in the last few years, and I do mean a FEW, has really crankrd my tractor, so to speak. Recently bought The Bears (Adrian Belew) live DVD at Club Cafe, and it’s really good. I can stand any type of music really as long as there is talent involved. I even like Allison Kraus and Union Station. Good songwriting,superb players, and an angel voice. Saw them on PBS. Missed YES the other night on PBS. Pissed me off. Anywho, just curious. Sounds like your a true music lover/player. I’ll tell you one a couple of my all time favorite albums. Lou Reed “Rock and Roll Animal”, with Hunter and Wagner on the guitars(and i’m not really a big L.R. fan, but that album kicks serious ass.) And “Buckingham Nicks, just those two before they got with Fleetwood Mac. Wonderful laid back album. It’s kind of weird too, because although i’m not a huge F.M. fan, they had an album called “Hero’s are Hard To Find,” close to their last album before they hooked up with Buckinham Nicks, and it’s a great albun, too. Lot of Christine McVies voice on it. She’s got an underestimated voive, in my opnion. There’s a song called “Come a Little Bit Closer” on it. She does a fantastic job on piano and vocals, and also I think she wrote it. Anyway, jst wondering. Sounds like just what little i’ve read you do a lot of gigs.

Hi FakePlacebo,

Everyone seems to have the same story.  One trick is to keep them waiting, like 45 minutes and long distance.  Hey, here in America one bank is coming out with MasterCharge gift cards.  It cost $5 and you can put them at any amount and maybe even add money to them.  I am going to look into it.  Then when the assholes will not quit taking money out you just do not add money.  Then they will send you letters saying we are going to close you account etc. etc.  After they close your account you can put more money on the card.  I think I will keep a card just for the internet.  There is only one internet site that I pay for but who know if that will be hacked.  I will be looking into it in a few days.  They should of had that years ago.  Also, when you buy something from e-bay you can get spammed to death.

Yea, I have had a problem with pay pal, I spent time writing what the problem is and get the same old form letter back.  It is sooooo hard now a days to get a Real Live Person.  The form letter say it should work.  Duh – well if it worked like it should why in the hell would I be writing.  And they want soooo damn much information, it’s none of their business.  Hell, I could buy a car with less hassle.

Good to see you back on line, try Ibo yet?

That’s a really cool story, and have a gut feeling it might be true. Fact is often stranger than fiction, and who could make something like this up? On a different note, AOL ripped me off for $99, (long, long story) but y’all would not believe it if I told you. Unreal. Finally got our Free Legal Service Lawyer (GM/UAW) to tell them to pay the $99 they “stole” from me for service NEVER rendered by the 15th of November, or come to “Sweet Home Alabama” small claims court and defend their actions. Dear God, if you are listening, PLEASE, PLEASE, let them ignore the letter, (like the last 200 they have). This is a 2 year battle by just me, taken probably 100 or 200 hours of my time writing letter after letter, email after email, begging that the last thing I wanted was to go to court. It’s the principle now, Has been. This story is just so unreal, people at work say it defies logic. Now they (AOL) have those commercials where there’s a line of people (every member they have) lined up to ask questions. (“OK, Let ’em in.”) Makes me puke every time I see it. I actually had one girl, I swear to God, asked me why I didn’t call their “help line.” When I told her I did, 3 times in 3 days and waited 45 minutes each time before giving up, she actually said to me,” Everybody has to wait that long.” You should have waited an hour and you might have gotten someone.” You would not believe the rest of this story. But I have a 6 inch folder full if 90% of what went on. Sorry to digress, but Internet companies now (most) do what hey want and know 99.9% of the good, honest customers won’t challenge them. This  001% is going to. Wish me luck. Again, sorry to ramble off subject, but it’s caused me much, much distress.                         Norris
PS Sorry if I offend anyone who may work at AOL, but this is a true story that’s just really no excuse for it going this far. Also everyone watch out for PAYPAL, owned by Ebay. Love Ebay, PAYPAL clipped me for $89. Should have sued them, too, but AOL is in my sights now too much to worry about PAYPAL.

Yea Martee your right. I have more strength than I give myself credit for.  I woke up this morning after some way cool dreams and immediately thought of you and your post to me. 6 hours this time, it’s getting better all the time. Seems that the 2 week point was the peak for me. I really appreciate your intelligence, you know I haven’t met a dumb ass yet in the Ibogaine community. But I’m hopeful. Seems to me that that is one sign of success. I don’t think that precludes anyone, say example myself. If I didn’t have a spell checker you might not be able to read this. LOL Well, it is the 3 week point now and I’m high steppin’.
Got a gig today. It’s a freebie but I like doing benefits for a good cause. The last one I did was with a former Navy Seal guy for 9/11. Probably the best one I ever did. That guy could rip but he was another guitar player who felt he had to put a leash on me to keep me from blowin’ his head off I guess. He was better than most about it but he had to put his control on things and in my humble opinion when you control what someone else is playin’ you ain’t thinkin’ ’bout your own ax enough. If the dude sucks fire him period. I ain’t got time to teach the guys I play with no ‘mo. But if a guy can truly play let his ass play and shut up. The day someone can play my ax as well as I can play there’s, I will let that guy tell me anything he wants. Sorry but it’s true. I’ve been struggling with a drummer this time. One of those who takes their cymbals home so no one can play their drums. Good thing ’cause if I could practice for a week I could put her out of a job if I wanted to. “Lord it’s hard to be humble but I try all the time.”( A song by I can’t remember who.)

Jasen,

How are you?  I feel surprisingly good, all things
considered.  Have been taking between 15-45mg per day,
and I think I’m pretty much in the clear now- even
went and partied my ass off last night!  Day 4&5 were
the worst, I’m now on day 9, and pretty much loving
it!  It’s great to be off methadone; I no longer feel
‘doped to the gills’.

There is such a difference between methadone and
morphine, IMHO…morphine, I find, doesn’t space me
out the same way as ‘done, and I generally feel more
productive and content.  I’m to be treated with
Ibogaine next week, and looking forward to it.

What’s up in the Land of Oz?  When are you going to
see Sara?  I’m so happy for you…

Julie

*Hello Dear Julie,

*Sounds like your well,good to hear girl.

*How often do you have to take the slow release morphine?
*Every 4 hours?

*Good to here you will be getting your treatment next week.

*Please let us know your every experience and feelings

*Are you doing it in the states,offshore,or Mexico,
*ooor areyou going to do it yourself,only this time with much more knowledge?

*Either way Julie,I wish you all the very best,and let me know exactly
*which day so I can light a candle and say a prayer of extra guidance
*for you,it all helps,even if only a little.I will picture you succeeding
*in my mind,and smiling and then finally freeeeeeeeee.

Hey Randy,
Don’t think that at some point that issue hadn’t been a concern.  If you want a number of months to mark on your calendar as “Day of Hoplesness, noribogaine leaves brain!, I may be able to give you one, however considering the variables in the human body on a case to case basis you may very well be cheating yourself out of some good days!!  Another example I noticed of what’s your strength vs. the noribogaine.  Not too many days ago in a matter of MINUTES you went from bouncing off of walls(one of my favorite expressions) feeling like you HAD TO HAVE medication or relief from what the physicall discomfort you were in, to appearing to be completely calm and grounded.  Talking about your music and the realization that you now possessed a future to once again take it on.  You made references to what your capabilities and intentions were for your future. You also mentioned quite a few more possibilities when you were in NYC.  You exhibited great strength. You were also surrounded by a network of support.
I believe words, thoughts and deeds are the same as prayers.  It’s all about intention.  If your intention is to go back to being addicted in a certain week in a certain month, you could very well manifest it.  I believe we can attract our fears and give them life. So why not use your powers for good.
Like myself you have a supportive family,  talents, possibilities and a shit load of hope.  I think the idea is to take this gift and get into a mental, emotional and spiritual position where going back is not an option!  Just as in the past my intention was to have the ability,creativity, drive, persistance,money, luck and skill to maintain the life of a professional, functional addict, I feel I can  use all these same qualitites to be productive.  My point being is if you can do the things it took to be an addict, you also have what it takes to succeed. Fuck statistics, other peoples fears and all the what if’s in the world that won’t manifest if you ignore them.
All I know is all those qualities I mentioned made me a very successfull, safe and lucky functional addict.  So I believe my intentions worked then,they will also work from here on out.  The formula is the same.
What is the 4th step anyway?
With all respect and sincerity,
Martee

B’Boy,
Nope. Never did. Most of that is highly classified stuff. Did get thrown in the pokey on the Arsenal back in about ’82 or so, when I still drank, took a wrong turn (which is damn near impossible to do with all the gates and MP jeeps everywhere. Went right on by them and made it about 5 feet.) It was about 10 miles way back into the Arsenal where the jail was  (that arsenal is huge), and remember the MP’s asking me what kind of car my buddy was in coming to bail me out. They had him on video from the time he hit the main gate until he got back to where I was. They told me every turn he made. And that was 22 years ago. The Concorde made a landing in Huntsville a few years ago before they moth balled it. I would have loved to see it. A buddy of mine I work with builds airplanes in his shop. He’s probably built 3 or 4, the last one for a rich client. There’s a small airfield (Pryor Field) right across the road from him. A judge here about 20-25 or so years ago( Judge Coggins) got caught bringing in pot or cocaine one, think it was pot, at that airfield. Got away with it for a long time, too. Also, it was a training field for the Army going into WW2 and there was a very, very bad crash there. Seems like it was the first stateside deaths of WW2 or something like that. I went to high school with a guy whose families still own a funeral parlor here, and he remembers his granddad saying it was the worst crash he’d ever seen. Had to use 5 gallon buckets to get the victims. Just awful. Did you see that special on the “Battle of the X Plane” on PBS about a month ago? The government is going to use an all purpose jet for all the services instead of each having their own, and PBS had FULL ACCESS to the 2 year contest between Boeing and Lockhead Martin for the 200 billion dollar contract. Fascinating. Check your local PBS staton for another airdate. This plane does it all, including hovering and doing 360 degree hovers. I won’t tell you who won in case you have not seen it. I’ve got it on tape and will be glad to make you a copy of it if you like. No problem.

Alas, sometimes the journey from our spot in Queens to
the lower east side is much longer than the 12.6 miles
would seem.  Especially with a Game Seven baseball
championship on the telly!  So when I finally started
rolling out the door at 11 p.m. to join the book party
and Jeff called and found that out, he decided to just
head home to the nest.  I’m sorry I missed the fiesta
presta and meeting some of you.

But  thought maybe “male-bonding” among the ibonauts
might be a little different without the wife in tow,
so to speak, and had decided for the earlier half of
the night to have a dinner with a relatively new
friend, who is a grad student in psychology and a
spiritual seeker.  I started explaining that Jeff was
gonna be taking an “experimental” treatment and it was
this psychotropic bush from central Africa and she
inquires, “ibogaine?”  And I was floored.  It came up
in their psychopharmacology class a few yrs back, but
she also knew about it from Erowid.  As we talked
about her and her husband’s psychedelic journeys she
mentioned someone calling her “the most benevolent
tripper.”  Imagine my surpise six hours later when
Jeff comes home talking about the “benevolent plant”
spirit!!!

with love,
Rachel

The 9 inch Nails rocked and when you played Hot for Teacher it almost took my head off, not to mention Marc.<

First time I ever played Hot For Teacher while dj’ing, at Slipper Room for one of the dancers (for Sara, the thinner of the two dancers at the release party, the one with the Betty Page haircut and amazingly flawless skin), her boyfriendcame up to me with a great big smile and thanked me from the bottom of his heart, telling me I’d finally allowed him to fulfill a fantasy, which was seeing his girlfriend dance to HFT. I had to agree with him, that it was a sight, acommpanied by a sound, I wouldn’t want to have missed for anything, as she is hotter than hot and too cool besides. Who wouldn’t want to see their girlfriend dancing up a storm to HFT?
LOL!
Also, I Hadn’t realized it was your first trip to the Apple, so I’m honored it my party which drew you here. How cool is that? Very, I think anyway.
Peace and love and glad you got high anyways Randy. I’ll be sure to send the pretty ones your way next time.

Wouldn’t live anywhere else, except maybe where I was originally from, S.C. Love Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas like Bald Head Island, N.C. http://baldheadisland.com/ Beautiful place to visit and tour, but way, way, way, to pricey for me to live there (come on Lotto.) But a beautiful site seeing place. And you can stay at one of the lodges and fish or whatever pretty cheap. No cars allowed. All golf carts. Here in N. Alabama, i’m only 20 miles from the Marshall Space Flight Center, so lots of hig tech stuff going on around these parts. The “Arsenal” as it’s called, is a very, very high security, high tech area. You might call it Alabama’s “area 51.” Wernher Von Braun’s old stompimg grounds. Glad I found the site, and once I see what the new Pain Specialist Doctor Monday has in store for me, i’ll be making a decision in the next month or so, so i’ll need all the help from you nice people as I can get. You all sound like people who really care and are concerned about the welfare of folks who have shared your anguish and hopelessness. Especially for people like me who have seen some of the most uncaring, inconsiderate, uncompassionate doctors in the world. Praying this new one will at least listen, which would be more than the other one’s i’ve seen have done. Not that all MD’s are all that way, by any means. There are some very, very good healers out there. I just can’t seem to ever get lucky and get one. I have a wonderful family doctor, who is also a good, caring, human being, who i’m sure would help if he could, but even he admits this is a little out of his expertise, even though he is willing to learn, he told me he would be gald to, if he had to. He said when he went to Med School in the late 70’s-mid 80’s, they didn’t have hardly anything they taught that dealt with pain/addiction problems. They say at the urging of the AMA and others, this has changed, I hope. He said if push come’s to shove, WE would do what WE could TOGETHER. I love a doc that actually lets you have at least some say in your care and treatment, as much as they can, from a medical perspective, anyway. He’s great. Anyway, lucky to have found this place. I was losing hope. Since i’ve found this site it has really helped my psyche, kind of like, “the calvary’s on the way,” kind of feeling. If I do this, i’m going to start reading up on ways to get my mind, body, soul, spirit, etc. ready, and get this show on the road (depending on if more surgeries are needed, etc. I pray not.) This site has been a huge boost to my hope, and truely am glad I was lucky enough to find it. I plan on taking what clinical trials, stories, (names and such left out of course,) and some info on places such as St. Kitt’s offering the treatments to my family doc and getting his opinion, too. I think he willl be fascinated by it. He’s around my age (46), and is always willing to learn new methods or treatments, conventional or otherwise. Thanks to all for the help and encouragement, and wish me luck. May God’s light or “your higher being’s light” shine on all of you. Thank you all. HOPE shows it’s face after hiding from me for a while, and it’s feels good.

I must say the party was beautiful, and Preston was the best, very cute,
charming and gracious. Preston, your social skills are well developed! The
music was great, and I loved the fusion w/ like Jefferson Airplane, which
was great for us “old hippie” types. Thank you, Preston for the beautiful
inscription in my book, and I’m really loving the book, which is bound to
become a classic. My only regret was not having time to really talk to Marc
and Sean, as I’ve admired both your thoughtfulness in your posts regarding
both Ibogaine and Recovery.

So Preston, many thanks. Kent had a good time, also. We had a chance to talk
to your Dad a bit, and he was very sweet. I will come to any future events,
(if God permits me to).

I would like to speak w/ V at some point regarding her experience as a
“sitter”. She’s a great dj as well…

Peace out,
Jamilah

Hi Libby and all,
I got way early on Thursday due mainly to the fact my Dad flew in
Wednesday afternoon and wanted to go to the Natural History Museum up by
Central Park to see the planetarium show. As I am in the middle of
reading
Cosmic Debris, a book about metors and metorites, I was enthusiastic
about
the idea.
Anyway, so I got up around 7AM Thursday, so I could be up and about
before he and V were, then the three of us went to breakfast, then Dad
and
I took the subway up to 72nd Street and walked through the edge of
Central
Park to the museum, where we spent the next 5 hours undergoing sensory
overload of the best but very exhausting kind.
We managed to get back to my apartment with enough time for me to
catch
an hour nap before I began to prepare for the party. V took at the music
over at 7PM as Dad and I prepared to go out, then Dad and I got to Uncle
Ming’s the bar hosting the event, by about 8:45PM.
By 9:30PM, the bar had already begun to fill up, and by 10:30PM, the
party was going full tilt. I mean, this has to be one of the biggest,
best
parties, if not the bigest and best parties I’ve ever put together ever.
John Sinclair and Larry Ratos Sloman both showed up as guests of Michael
Simmons, one of the contributors. Contributors Jack Cole, founder of Law
Enforcement Against Prohibition, Jack Liebowitz, Steve Wishnia, Ryan
Grim,
Daniel Pinchbeck, Valerie Vande Panne, and interview subject Anthony
Papa
all showed up to help celebrate, as did contributor and amazingly
helpful
additional party invite writer/distributor Daniel Forbes as well. We had
a
few hundred people throughout the night, and at around midnight, we had
over a hundred people in the room, a fairly large, beautiful bar which
has
to be the best choice I could have made to host the event. Everyone
seemed
to have a great time, or at least, everyone told me and V they were
having
a ball at the ball, and the two of us most certainly had a very, very
good
time.
To everyone here on the DrugWar and Ibogaine lists who came out to
help
share my excitement and joy I extend my heartfelt thank you. You all
made
the evening that much more meaningful to me, and I hope we can get even
more of you all together next event I plan to hold at some point in the
future.
I also hope to gather together some photos from a few who actually
thought to bring cameras- mine are all broken and I didn’t get around to
buying any disposable ones- I must try to locate some to post)
To Jules again a very happy b-day too, and I was toasting you once or
thrice during the evenings proceedings.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

I’m assuming those who made it to Preston’s party are
probably just getting out of bed around now. When
you’re up to it, those of us who are out here crying
cause we didn’t get to go, would love some details.

Hope everybody had a great time and you sold lots of
books Preston.

Preston don’t assume I didn’t”get high at the party”. I came prepared. I love mother nature. And yea next time we will share a bowl if I got anything to do with it. Unless of course your too busy, I saw how swamped you were. Man I had a great time. KY boy first night in NYC. It was way cool. I’ll be back. The 9 inch Nails rocked and when you played Hot for Teacher it almost took my head off, not to mention Marc.   Randy

Ps there were lots of pretty ones there but none of them wanted to get me high. Shut up Marilyn and eat your chitlins'<

I’m sorry Randy,
I do agree that there were quite a few very pretty and beautiful young women, not to mention men too (not my particular swing, but there were a few in attendence that swing that way, so I hope they enjoyed the view as well is my point I guess), but on the second half of this sentence, I tried to get to all my friends and acquaintences, but I just couldn’t possibly get to everyone (if you didn’t notice, I Had to escape to the dj booth a couple of times as I was being overwhelmed by all the very nice, happy people who kept innundating me with love- it was great but overwhelming, even though I already said that- LOL). I thought you would be hooked up by others in the group you came with too considering those you came with, so it didn’t occur to me that you might be missing out on the “get high at Preston’s drug book party” part of the party.
😉
Or maybe that should actually be ;-((
Whatever, it sounds like you had fun and I was very glad to finally meet you face to face.
And yeah, the two dancers, both very good friends of ours, are professional dancers, in that they both make a living doing burlesque performances around NY and the country too actually. They’re used to dancing to V’s dj’ing (mine not quite as much but they both have many times danced to my spinning too), which reminds me- if yer in NYC some Saturday, stop by Slipper Room in the LES, as that’s where V dj’s each week.
So yeah, again, glad you were there, and I’m sorry we didn’t share a bowl. Next time perhaps.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Julie, thanx for askin’. I loved everything he did right off the bat but, Joe’s Garage was one of his best. I didn’t have a copy when I was young but, I always loved it. Frank was at his beat being sarcastic, of course he was a Hell-O-fied guitar player. He put everything he did on charts, even those fart noises and stuff were all written out in score. Back in the day you had to play with Zappa to have any credence if you were an American musician. He has had some great players with him but, I don’t think a one would say they didn’t learn from him. You have to respect that. He had the best drummer I ever saw. That guy was with him probably longer than just about anyone else and I can’t remember his name. He was killer. Still is I’d say. As much as I love Zappa I got to say something Ibogaine related. LAST NIGHT AT PRESTON’S RELEASE ROCKED!!!!! Got ya. No really, Ibogaine has changed me in ways I never expected. Last night was the first time I ever had a good time in a bar if I wasn’t playing since I quit drinking. I don’t know how to explain it. I was completely at ease. Its been damn near 10 years, it’s about time I’d say. Because I spend a lot of times in bars not playin’ it has come as a great relief to find this out. You can’t play the whole time or everyone would go deaf. I’m fine on stage’ off stage on break I was wreck. I was either pissed or jealous that everyone was drunk but me. That was whats the scag was for. I can’t drink at all. I’m a raging alcoholic too. But I could semi-functionally do what I had to on heroin. As long as I had enough money. It was a tough gig. I much prefer this and opiates killed my voice. I can’t wait to get out and play I ain’t been able to sing like this in years. If you read this and you could have went and didn’t, YOU MISSED IT!!! Preston I had a great time if you can’t tell. Thanx to you and V for the jams. Great mix of back beat and rock for me and the dancers.LOL Who cares about anyone else. The dancers never stopped moving even on the rock stuff. Real pro dancers. I am as disturbed as the band Disturbed. Stupefied as they say. I am down with the sickness. I know this is long shoot me or delete it. The fact of the matter is Ibogaine has given me a new life if I want it. I want it.     F*** you I won’t do what ya tell me.

Martee, it was so cool to meet you. You saw Zappa from 2nd row at the Fillmore East trippin’ ? That had to be great. He is one of my biggest influences. Even more than Hendrix or maybe even the Stone’s. You either loved him or hated him and I’ve loved him from 67 on. I still know the words to Ask Any Vegetable and Brow Shoe’s Don’t Make It. Suzi, Suzi cream cheese. I could talk about Zappa all day and don’t ever get me started about Over Night Sensation.      Randy   PS Watch out where the huskies go and don’t you eat that yellow snow.

That’s a really cool story, and have a gut feeling it might be true. Fact is often stranger than fiction, and who could make something like this up? On a different note, AOL ripped me off for $99, (long, long story) but y’all would not believe it if I told you. Unreal. Finally got our Free Legal Service Lawyer (GM/UAW) to tell them to pay the $99 they “stole” from me for service NEVER rendered by the 15th of November, or come to “Sweet Home Alabama” small claims court and defend their actions. Dear God, if you are listening, PLEASE, PLEASE, let them ignore the letter, (like the last 200 they have). This is a 2 year battle by just me, taken probably 100 or 200 hours of my time writing letter after letter, email after email, begging that the last thing I wanted was to go to court. It’s the principle now, Has been. This story is just so unreal, people at work say it defies logic. Now they (AOL) have those commercials where there’s a line of people (every member they have) lined up to ask questions. (“OK, Let ’em in.”) Makes me puke every time I see it. I actually had one girl, I swear to God, asked me why I didn’t call their “help line.” When I told her I did, 3 times in 3 days and waited 45 minutes each time before giving up, she actually said to me,” Everybody has to wait that long.” You should have waited an hour and you might have gotten someone.” You would not believe the rest of this story. But I have a 6 inch folder full if 90% of what went on. Sorry to digress, but Internet companies now (most) do what hey want and know 99.9% of the good, honest customers won’t challenge them. This  001% is going to. Wish me luck. Again, sorry to ramble off subject, but it’s caused me much, much distress.                         Norris
PS Sorry if I offend anyone who may work at AOL, but this is a true story that’s just really no excuse for it going this far. Also everyone watch out for PAYPAL, owned by Ebay. Love Ebay, PAYPAL clipped me for $89. Should have sued them, too, but AOL is in my sights now too much to worry about PAYPAL.

Howard, thanx a bunch but, I kinda’ got over it a little bit. Matter of fact in the past 24 hours I have slept twice for about 8 hours total. Not much to bitch about I’d say. Ibogaine is truly a miracle and if it hadn’t been for you and your efforts Ibogaine would still be unknown. I really hold you in high regard for working for your fellow man. Thanx for helping me thru this.                         Randy

Thanks for the awesome response, it so nice to hear from you.  It is also nice to be online again and to have access to the list.

Yes, we will talk more in-depth soon!

Dear List,
I saw this in web I don’t know if it’s true or not but so interesting

THE BEST LAWYER STORY THIS YEAR
This is the best lawyer story of the year, decade and probably the century.
A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars then insured them against fire among other things.
Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the
lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost “in a series of  small fires.”
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.  The lawyer sued….and won!
In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless,
that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would
insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire,” and was obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance Company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for
his loss of  the rare cigars lost in the “fires.”
NOW FOR THE BEST PART…
After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!!
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted
of intentionally burning his Insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine.
This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

I went and saw Adrian belew and The Bears In Nashville a couple years ago. Got to talk with him (Adrian) before the concert for over an hour while they set up. On their new DVD he shows off some guitars, especially one from when he played with Zappa and some signed Zappa artwork, I think. Zappa was definately in his own little world. Cool world, though.

Howard,
You are a particular person I would really be happy to see show up even for just a few minutes if that’s all you could handle, at the party tomorr…errr, I mean, tonight.
It’s on Ave. B, between 13th and 14th St, from 9PM to 4AM, so that’s a nice wide timeslot to fit into if you’re still up at that hour(s). But you are one of those inspirations to me and it would mean a lot to me if you made an appearance.
If not, I’ll survive, but I won’t be as happy as I will be if (oh, I mean obviously “when”) I see your smiling face having a good time at the release party.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

That is not an uncommon effect of ibogiane whether you are opioid dependent
or not.  As far as I am concerned take a heavy sedative and catch some sleep if
you don’t like spending 21 hours a day doing things.  Of course take it up
with a doctor and get a prescription.

Hi Randy,

Yeah, hang in there mahn.  Benzos or opiates sound like a real bad idea.  I know it is rough, but you are a survivor mahn!  Keep on postin though, I know it always got me though times..and you are one of the people who helped me get though.

I have not had a chance to post on a couple of days, but I read everything. To anyone considering ibogaine, I know it interrupted my twenty year crack (and more recently dope) habit, I really think it worth the leap of faith.  In fact, for myself, I know from experience. Three weeks, no crack thoughts or urges.  Minimal thoughts of dope use which have easily been put out of mind.

Changing friends was key for though. And therapy. I strongly recommend both, but if only one is possible, change friends, habits, anything associated with using. There is a whole world out there beyond needles and crack pipes I am rediscovering.

To all struggling, much strength.  Hope to see anyone who can make it at the weekly Big Apple get together of ibonoughts and ibo curious.   For those who can make it, Preston’s party sounds like a blast!

Cheers!

Sean

Dear Comrades:

Whoever thought of the DJs and Go-Go dancers — as opposed to readers droning on — angle is a marketing genius. Preston I believe you take a bow here?

Don’t know what happened with the New York Observer “Eight-Day Week” page (it’s always towards the end of the second section) that I pitched. Since this Observer feature is not online, you might want to check a newsstand copy as I will when I get out later today. But collectively we hit two solid home runs with NY Press and the Village Voice. (I like some of the familiar verbiage in the NY Press item.) The NYP & VV items are not just in the books listings, but in the Editors’ picks listings that a lot of folks see. Given that, plus the Salon blog we got (DrugWarRant)  — fasten your seat belts for tmw night.

All that is to urge you: I really hope Uncle Ming is prepared with enough booze, including enough of that discounted vodka that Preston scoured up, and you guys with enough books. You might want to alert the vodka company to these two home runs. Given that they’re doing it to introduce the stuff to the opinion-leading slicksters who’ll be dangling from the chandeliers, they should be willing to boost their supply given the NYP & VV listings. How many attendees will actually buy books remains to be seen, but we can hope.

Me and Herself? We plan to get there early, stay late.

Talk to you,
Dan Forbes

from New York Press “Picks” page — their highlights of the week — leading off Thursday’s listings:
EAST VILLAGE BLOWOUT BOOK BASH

This is our kind of literary jam. A drug-book party (meaning, a party celebrating a book about drugs) with go-go dancers instead of books. Oh, we’re sure there will be some books lying around, but that’s not what tonight is about. Boasting no stuffy readings, the Book Bash urges you to go buy the book and read it on your own damn time. Meanwhile, enjoy DJs, dancers, groovers, shakers and touchdown-makers, all in celebration of Disinformation’s “latest well-schooled rant,” The Disinformation Guide to Drugs. Uncle Ming’s, 225 Ave. B (betw. 13th & 14th Sts.), 212-979-8506; 9, free.

++++++

This the sole “Events” Editors’ choice on the Village Voice “Choices” Web page: The green asterisk indicates it’s an editors’ recommendation.

‘The Disinformation Company Presents: “Under the Influence: The Disinformation Guide to Drugs” Book Release Party’

The folks at Disinfo ask: “Do you believe that the war on drugs is a success?” In their new book, they delve into it, but tonight they celebrate with music by DJ Ness and the book’s editor Preston Peet, performances by Go-Go Girls, Delirium Uncle Ming’s  225 Ave. B,

I want to apologize for being such an ass. Thank God for this list and Ibogaine for any of the sanity I have. This list and the people on it who seem like they actually care about me are what keeps me going. Thanx to Patrick for being the odd genus that he is. I like odd people, I’d say I’m rather odd myself. I will try and refrain from the inane bitching from now on. Gets me nowhere but exaggerates my feelings to the point of absurdity. I’m kinda gettin’ used to being up at 3 or 4 in the morning, its cool, I just keep breakin’ strings and my harps are goin’ flat but, wait, I aint bitchin,’ as Patrick would say, I’m just sayin’ (no shrug).

That’s where I got my internet name from. A beautiful Border Collie who I swear feels my pain (as most (all) of our four legged friends do) One night with the shakes a bit, he laid on top of me until they passed a bit. Scared the hell out of him, but he was there for me. Helped more than he’ll ever know. Would highly recommend a pet to anyone going through ant type of pain pain who has that space to keep one. But i’m sure out of this group, all probably already either own one or know their special gifts.

Don’t get me stated about aftercare. We need to pass on what we learn and establish real protocol on aftercare esp. for Methadone. And I want in on it. I got plans that won’t be stopped. I’ve stopped once for 10 years without Ibo and once just now with Ibo and there is truly no comparison. Of course 6 of those years I was addicted to Oxy’s and heroin. I started methadone this time when I found out I had Hep C and I truly thought I was going to die because some of my friends had and I don’t see how they could have shot more dope and drank as much alcohol as me. I’m lucky, I went thru the Hep C protocol and my liver is checking out completely normal. No sign of Hep C. So when I knew I wasn’t gonna die I knew I had to get off methadone. Took a year to get the Ibogaine. I wasn’t gonna even try without it. It was way too much last time.    Randy

Martee, thanx so muck for your kindness. I kinda got over bein’ pissed seemed like such a waste of time. Your mention of music took me back to the fist time I listened after Ibo. Music pretty much drives me to live and the inspiration I have found since is incredible. I have left out all the really cool stuff that is happening and taken too much time worrying about getting thru this. I have written two really cool ones (at least thats what I think) in the past two days.LOL I just wish I could get Trent Rezner to play keys on my Ibo song. The kindness on this list is almost overwhelming. Who would have thought a bunch of junkies and ex junkies could treat each other this way? The Ibo song is a drop D tuning play on a D diminished on the 5th fret that sounds kinda erie but rocks loudly if I have anything to do with it. I’ll be around a while so you will probably here it. I’m getting a digital recorder in two weeks. Thanx again to you and everyone else for your kind words of encouragement and Marc thank you for your blunt honesty. I needed that. So far so good for today and I’m going to try real hard to make it to the city tomorrow.                  Randy

I am really thrilled for any computer tip I can get, However I really am unaware of the faux pas I’m committing here.  I am now in 10 font.  Before I was doing 8 font because when I wrote really long stuff it would be disguised as not so long.  I had 3 computer courses all pre windows.  Some of the stuff is coming back to me.  Those that know me are aware that I have no problem having things pointed out to me.  As long as it’s done with love.  These days those are the only ones I surround myself with.
I’m using reading glasses so I may not realize how small things are looking.  Thanks for the heads up.  Sorry I just sent off a long letter in8 font.

Randy,

It’s 4:00 am,  I had 4 hours sleep, I’ll be up for 2 hours and then get another 2 or 3 if I’m lucky.  After 2 +mos. this is normal.  I can literally count on one hand how many times I’ve slept through the night  since my treatment.  In the beginning(sounds like genesis and I do consider it a rebirth)  I got two hours 2-3x per 24 hours.   I only did valium right after and noticed I woke up feeling “sick” when I took chemicals to sleep.  The same thing would happen to me when I used to do dope.  It would eat up the methadone in my system.  I went with homeopathics.  But mostly I observed that my waking hours were extremely functional.  Not that toss and turn bullshit.  And when I did sleep, the dreams were intense.
I don’t know how long ago you did your session, however I had a fatique after that kicked my ass.  After 10 days I barely had the strength to move to the other side of the bed to change the cds!  I would go to the kitchen, take the eggs out of the fridge,and have to sit down and rest.  The first week sitting in a chair as oppossed to relaxing in the bed was a feat.  I took a lot of showers, drank a lot of water and oh yeah the nutritional bullshit that everyone likes to discount was HUGH!!
Did I feel I was properly informed when I was told low level flu symptoms for 10 days because of my age and length of usage?  Was I emotionally bouncing off of the walls when I felt uncomfortable at first?  Well to sum it up, I wanted to give a royal ass kicking to my provider for what I felt was being flighty about specifics that I thought intellectually I should have been told.
This is coming from a pacifist who believes no one person EVER has the right to put their hands in violence on another human. Except in self defense, then anything goes!  And truth be told, I love that man!  What he did for me and brought to me, at this moment in my life is unparalleled.  Tools and teachers are all over the place.  Again it’s ones perception, and what you’re ready for.  When I stopped taking the path of most resistance, and stopped freaking out that every chill, sneeze, twitch, was the onset of a full blown withdrawl, things got better.
I pushed myself to see physical progress.  I used the time to read.  It was nice being able to turn the page!  I listened to music nonstop,which is something I had not been doing.  I had become a tv addict.  Something else the Ibo washed out of my brain.  It washed out everything I was doing to excess.  I also stopped cigarettes at the same time.  For the last 2 weeks I have been wanting a cigarette in the worst way.  A lot.  Did I give in and smoke one cigarette or 2 since then?  Yes.  Will I buy a pack.  No.  Would I like to believe people when they say you have kicked opiates among other things.  Do the cigarette thing later.  I know myself.  Do I wish cigarettes were immune boosting and good for you.  Yes. I am not panicing because I am now watching 1 hour of tv per day instead of one per week.  All things in perspective.
I also believe aftercare and beforecare is something that would raise the odds in a higher success rate for people doing sessions.  The tough times were nothing compared to the insanity of the mission I was on for all those years.
Just an observation.  But if you’re functional enough to come into the city from where you are,  I’d say you’re doing outstanding.  Again I don’t know the particulars of your history, but  marc pointing out to me over and over that hey you haven’t had meth or drugs in a week or 2 weeks or 3 weeks, was really an eyeopener.  The last time I could say that was in 1982!!!!!
If being pissed off helps get you through, fine.  We should all be upset with the medical industry.  There’s nothing new or original about what they did to you.  I believe it’s up to me to take care of me and educate myself.  Self reliance is a rush when you get it right.  But I feel for you.  I really do.
Before my session It was suggested to me to write as many reasons as I could, to reflect on how fucked up things were living as an addict.  It’s a reminder and inspiration to think if self defeating thoughts come back in.  I believe I got to 35 reasons.
Is’s now been 1and a half hours on this.  As much as it sounds like rambling I tried to give it thought.  I’ve been working on that rambling thing.
I wish for you ; understanding, acceptance, peace, calm and above all love.
Martee

Jonny.
Docil may not have been the correct word.  No matter how functinal, productive or creative I was on drugs, I always felt I was giving up something for it.  I thought I appeared functional but was not. Now I see how much there is to do in the course of an hour, day or week that I don’t know where I found the time to do all those drugs!  Now if I had some serious funds & was able to pay others to do my menial stuff & appear there was no financial grief, I could have convinced myself & others I was doing just fine.
It’s possible that innate attraction to get high may be the desire to have things better or different NOW in those that can be predisposed to that sort of thing.  Instant gratification.  If it feels good, do it. This is just a quick reflection.  This could definitly be a round table discussion.  I actually had to think a while on this one.  You had me speechless.  That makes you talented!
As well as I feel lately, I am no monument to sobriety.  I still have a lot of stuff to work out . Who doesn’t?  As I look back I am HORRIFIED at my behavior & maybe that and other things in my make-up form my perception.  It’s all individual perception anyway.
Sensory Deprivation.  I never found the corner they sold that one at.

Julie,

At least you got into H AFTER you finished Uni.  I got into it at 19 just as
I started Uni so there went all my student loans etc and 3 universities
later and 5yrs of wasted lifelessness and I’m still no further on!  So don’t
feel bad girl-you still did better than me! (not that it takes much! 😉

Charlie,

I feel for you.  I got myself into this mess by doing
H- started 4 years ago, when I was 22, and just outta
university.  Hey, it was cool, and felt good.

Four years of my life slipped by, and I was in a
complete daze.  I accomplished very little, and
certainly did NOT enrich my life, mind, or soul…not
to mention the body part- I’m so afraid my
neurochemicals will never straighten out.

Charlie, methadone DOES work for pain- it’s commonly
prescribed to people post-chemotherapy, or to
chronically ill, hospice patients.  While I was on it,
it very effectively masked a severe tooth problem I
had; in fact, it was the tooth pain MORE than the
residual withdrawal that drove me back into the arms
of methadone after my first Ibo detox.

What’s your daily dosage of methadone?  Why did they
(the docs) decide to give you methadone?  Methadone is
super long lasting, with only LAAM, and I think one
other opiate, beating it out.  So, in a sense, it does
make sense, but only if they warned you about the
hazards of long term methadone use.  DID they warn
you?

Julie

Is this a recipe for cannabis tea?  I’d really like to try it myself.  What’s this- ‘cannabis anis ginger’?  And where can I get it?  And do you mean put 5g or more for every pot of tea you make?  Is any actual tea involved?

Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot but I just wanted to make sure I get it right cuz if you say this is good then I really respect your opinion.  We have some very nice weed at the moment and I bet it’d make a very nice ingredient!

Hi Randy,What I normally do is a strong pot of tea, cannabis anis ginger and one tables spoon of olive oil .you cook the ginger with anis seeds first, then
You set it on simmer heat , you put about 5grams or more per pot tea you add the olive oil and keep on this low heat for about 15 minutes.
You put some honey in your cup and drink as much as you need some people start tripping on this tea, so stay at home when you do it, don’t forget to take hot baths. Tell me how it works for you, It takes two weeks to feel the energy coming back.
Good luck, Randy!

I’m just to much of a fighter to let someone fuck me without a fight. I was specific about Restorils for post Ibo sleep and he agreed with me at the time. Now he acts like we never had the conversation. In my opinion he fucked me around and I don’t take getting fucked around lightly, thats a serious infraction in the dope world but I’m trying to claw my way out of the dope world so I won’t kick his ass but I will do what I can to proclaim this guy for the idiot that he is.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RELAX. As you know I had some very difficult residual withdrawals for the first couple of weeks and just like you I felt fine for the first few days and then it started to kick my ass. But I was determined to change my behavior and for me that started with not looking for a pill or a doctor to fix it for me. You’ve been on a shit load of meth for a long fuckin time and you are not going to feel 100% for a little while. You need to commit to riding it out without taking shit for sleep or to calm you down- thats what got us all here in the  first place.
They told me in Mexico that I would probably have about a 10% residual withdrawal afterwards and that was just about right. Those first couple of weeks were not easy and In don’t think there supposed to be. Not a magic pill.
Knowing what I do of your case, I can promise you that you are over the hump and in the coming days you are going to feel better and better but its not an overnight thing.
Hold onto everything you said and felt immediately post Ibo and maybe a few boosters could help but you will sleep even less so weigh the pros and cons of that one too but please call me if you need to talk. -M.

Its time for Randy to help Randy get over these residual withdrawals. once you commit to that everything will get a whole lot easier.

And oh yeah, one last thing…. fuck doctors. Unless of course there Mexican or Revolutionary witch doctors in NYC. ;o)

Seems like medical malpractice to me. Here I’ll keep you hooked cause you have to pay me monthly but since you won’t be seeing me very often fuck you and your withdrawals. Where is the logic in this? I gave this asshole information on Ibogaine which he obviously ignored. The data is being compiled as we speak. All you have to do is read it. This guy blindly treated me with no information obviously because if he had read what I had given him this would not be a problem. He thinks or he acts like he thinks I’m trying to con him. If I was after drugs I would have kept the methadone now wouldn’t I. I think he doesn’t give a damn cause I won’t see him but once a year if I’m clean. If I was still a drunk his ass would already be kicked. I am seriously going to look into a law suit, probably to no avail but, I gotta try. What a fucking idiot. I can’t believe this he will keep me hooked but not help me get clean.         Randy

And I thought the day couldn’t get any better.   So very nice to hear from you, my friend.  You know how much I just LOVE constructive criticism.  I see it as you looking out for me.
The only thing that would make this day better is if that Gemini dude (you know who you are) would come out from under his rock and write or call me.
Later,
Martee

Thanks again, Sara.  Looks to me like there has to be some things done in the area
of Aftercare.  True, the John Q average doctor is pretty stupid.    I guess there just
aren’t very many doctors who know what the hell is going on.  I’m finding our just how
many doctors are given permission to pass out methadone at whatever dose they choose.
but can’t cope with symptoms.  They don’t know what to do other than put a person back on
methadone.

I keep thinking about what I can do.  Without any money its really tough.  I know one neurologist
that I plan to consult – maybe she can tell me of a professional person who may pass on some
suggestions.  I plan to set up a consultation with her tomorrow.  I know her a little bit on a personal
level.  She and her husband are neighbors.  She got her medical degree on one of the islands
near Jamaica.  I’m sure she has heard of St. Kitts and I plan to educate her of the doings of Miz
Deborah Mash.  She needs to know.

It’s a rough road…………….but, dumb me, I just keep on hoping that those good ole endorphins and
encapholans start doing their thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RELAX. As you know I had some very difficult residual withdrawals for the first couple of weeks and just like you I felt fine for the first few days and then it started to kick my ass. But I was determined to change my behavior and for me that started with not looking for a pill or a doctor to fix it for me. You’ve been on a shit load of meth for a long fuckin time and you are not going to feel 100% for a little while. You need to commit to riding it out without taking shit for sleep or to calm you down- thats what got us all here in the  first place.
They told me in Mexico that I would probably have about a 10% residual withdrawal afterwards and that was just about right. Those first couple of weeks were not easy and In don’t think there supposed to be. Not a magic pill.
Knowing what I do of your case, I can promise you that you are over the hump and in the coming days you are going to feel better and better but its not an overnight thing.
Hold onto everything you said and felt immediately post Ibo and maybe a few boosters could help but you will sleep even less so weigh the pros and cons of that one too but please call me if you need to talk. -M.

Its time for Randy to help Randy get over these residual withdrawals. once you commit to that everything will get a whole lot easier.

And oh yeah, one last thing…. fuck doctors. Unless of course there Mexican or Revolutionary witch doctors in NYC. ;o)

Hi Randy,

Thank you for your acknowledgment.  Few words can say a lot.
My experience directly after ibogaine also included discomfort at times coupled with the inability to sleep.  I’m told the after affects of the ibogaine can mimic withdrawl but it came and went really fast (per episode) and it was some twitches, chills, anxiety.  For me it was nothing compared to the real deal.  I am also in your age group.  When I realized what I was going through would pass in a minute and I had a lot of moments of being still, I was ok.
Another BIG revelation was that it’s all about immune response.  I noticed when I ate sugar or white refined (what’s sold and marketed as food) garbage, I would without a doubt feel worse.  Being supportive of my immune system with enzyme rich foods definitly helped me come out the other side of this.  A balanced intake of protein, fats,and carbs which should include tons of vegetables.  They are like the medicine.  Sugar is the devil.
I am also in NYC.  I’m not sure I will be available for Prestons party, however I am planning on being around prior to that hanging with the group on the lower east side.
I have chosen to be totally abstinent of all substances.  I believe if you had a moment (I call it intuition,which is never wrong) of doubting the drug mentality that has been a way of life, I’d call it clarity and thank the Iboga  Gods.  Just my view.

Hey Sean,

I live in N. Alabama. I feel OK. I’m still going to a clinic, although I have an appointment with a pain specialist later this month. I’m not going to rush into anything until I talk with them. But they all say how easy it is to taper off, but I have not talked to anyone who has had much success that way, especially after years on it. I found out about Ibogaine just by doing a search on treatments for opiods. No one around these parts i’ve talked to had ever heard of it. After reading about the place in Mexico again, Rosarito, it does not sound that bad. Sounds like they are competent, and cheaper than St. Kitts. Know anyone who’s had it done at the Ibogaine Association in Rosarito? I’ve heard age can be a minus at over 40, and i’m pushing 47. Anything to that? I’m in good general health besides the obvious neck/back disk troubles. No major health problems, just a little high cholesterol.
Thanks,
Norris

No Julie, I started at the clinic. I’m fully aware that they use it as an analgesic pain tool, a lot of times for “breakthrough pain” at maybe 10 or 15mg. doses along with oxy’s or something else. I’m  at 120mg., but at the pain level i’m at, it has no great effect on my pain, especially my headaches. That’s why I just want off for now, and worry about some other drug, method, whatever to use for the pain levels i’m at. I could go up to as many as 200mg., but would never think of it. Even at the pain i’m in. I worked up to 100mg. over several years as the pain increased, until I got to 120 and saw that it was not giving me anymore relief than the 100 mg. That’s the boat i’m in. Like I mentioned before, even if I could get 50% pain relief on something that would be easier to come off and not be a slave to it, i’d be happy. I guess it’s possible some more surgeries would help aleviate some of the pain, but after 2 neck surgeries, most doc’s are very hesitant to go for the “hat trick.” Can’t blame them when your dealing with possibly more nerve damage than before. You know they say that true “chronic pain patients” have about a 1% chance of becoming physically dependent, although I find that number hard to believe. I do think if I could take something time released or patch or something that would give the 50% or so pain reduction I so need, I honestly think I could take it as prescribed with no problems since i’ve done so well over the last 8 years of not using at the clinic. Thanks,
Norris

Hi;  BiscuitBoy mama here.  I have Degenerative Spondylothesis Stenoisis and have done everything but
surgery.  There is an underlying cause, “Ehlars-Danlos Syndrome” which runs in my family along with quite
a few other unpleasant genetic problems.  If you are curious, there is a lot on the ‘net about EDS.

Have you heard about or tried Prolotherapy?  You might want to look into it.

Charlie,

I feel for you.  I got myself into this mess by doing
H- started 4 years ago, when I was 22, and just outta
university.  Hey, it was cool, and felt good.

Four years of my life slipped by, and I was in a
complete daze.  I accomplished very little, and
certainly did NOT enrich my life, mind, or soul…not
to mention the body part- I’m so afraid my
neurochemicals will never straighten out.

Charlie, methadone DOES work for pain- it’s commonly
prescribed to people post-chemotherapy, or to
chronically ill, hospice patients.  While I was on it,
it very effectively masked a severe tooth problem I
had; in fact, it was the tooth pain MORE than the
residual withdrawal that drove me back into the arms
of methadone after my first Ibo detox.

What’s your daily dosage of methadone?  Why did they
(the docs) decide to give you methadone?  Methadone is
super long lasting, with only LAAM, and I think one
other opiate, beating it out.  So, in a sense, it does
make sense, but only if they warned you about the
hazards of long term methadone use.  DID they warn
you?

Julie

Hi Martee,
I also believe in cause and effect, I’ve seen it affect my whole life for good and bad . But as humans being led or as individuals leading themselves, I still think there is an innate attraction to basically ‘get high’ chemically or otherwise. The point I’m also making is that dysfunction is subjective and using drugs does not have to render you docile. Drug-free altered states of mind are something I’ve had great and healing fun with – visuals, meditation and sensorary deprivation  can all have dramatic effect, especially the latter ! –  Basically I agree with you on everything else Martee, although 3 make an organization, 50 make a movement I think ! …..Cheers Jonny.

I hope your’s is an isolated case as far as still having such urges even after the Ibogaine. That’s the main reason I would choose that route, to not have to live in the “bowels of hell” with the withdrawals. Like I mentioned before,at the clinic, i’ve been a model client. Quit alcohol 8 years ago, completely (and I was, am, an alcoholic) Quit smoking for 7, just recently started back, but can quit again,(family doc says that with so much on my plate, don’t rush that, yet.) Relationship with parents who are in their 70’s could not be better. The pain meds just had me like a zombie. Never communicated with them.(Never mentioned this before, but my main problem was the “soma’s”, on top of the LT’s. Bad, bad mistake) Never want to see another one. See parents every day now, and they are supportive in my quest for treatment and have been since I started at the clinic some 8 years ago. They have had “their son” back for the last 8 years,(which I can’t say how much it has meant to them and me) so I can’t say that everyting about the ‘done was bad. Just after your ready to move on with the next step of your life, that’s the bad part. It would have just always bothered me beyond words had I not got some sort of help 8 years ago and something had happened to my folks before they saw their “old son” again before they died. Like I said, it’s the “moving on” part now that has got me. My life is ready. I made sure I didn’t rush my ‘done treatment. Have not had any urges, dreams, etc. for a long time. I’m ready. Like I said, i’ll worry about the chronic pain factor after the ‘done releases it’s hold. I’m glad I found this support group. I feel hope there’s hope, now.
Thanks to all,
Norris

Not in these parts. Like I mentioned before, i’m 47 and have never even seen any “H”, which really was definately a good thing. It would definately have to be something less potent, hence my problem taking anything with acetaminophen . If I took like 10 LT”s (or something similar) that would be 6500 mg. of acetaminophen, not too good for the old liver, perhaps even deadly. The strongest thing I could probaby find would be oxy’s. Don’t know if they’d work or not???

Jonny,

It depends on if people want to stay with what they know and are comfortable with, such as dysfunction  and chemically sustaining ones mind and body to be kept docile under the thumbs of the $ machine.  If it wasn’t for the ibogaine I don’t know that I could have ever stopped.  I was a lunatic, nonstop.  What we are as a race and what we are at our core are two different things.  I’m going for altered state of mind without chemicals.  It’s possible.
As far as change goes, what did Arlo Guthrie say in Alices Restaurant?  If one person does it, or 2 people, by the time 3 people do it ,it’s a god damn movement.  That’s definitly not an exact quote.  It’s a wonder I have any recall or brain cells left.
Once again I believe in equal and opposite reaction.  What you put out you get back. What comes around goes around , etc. etc.
I appreciate your response and invite you to consider the possibilities.

Hi Randy,

Thank you for your acknowledgment.  Few words can say a lot.
My experience directly after ibogaine also included discomfort at times coupled with the inability to sleep.  I’m told the after affects of the ibogaine can mimic withdrawl but it came and went really fast (per episode) and it was some twitches, chills, anxiety.  For me it was nothing compared to the real deal.  I am also in your age group.  When I realized what I was going through would pass in a minute and I had a lot of moments of being still, I was ok.
Another BIG revelation was that it’s all about immune response.  I noticed when I ate sugar or white refined (what’s sold and marketed as food) garbage, I would without a doubt feel worse.  Being supportive of my immune system with enzyme rich foods definitly helped me come out the other side of this.  A balanced intake of protein, fats,and carbs which should include tons of vegetables.  They are like the medicine.  Sugar is the devil.
I am also in NYC.  I’m not sure I will be available for Prestons party, however I am planning on being around prior to that hanging with the group on the lower east side.
I have chosen to be totally abstinent of all substances.  I believe if you had a moment (I call it intuition,which is never wrong) of doubting the drug mentality that has been a way of life, I’d call it clarity and thank the Iboga  Gods.  Just my view.

I’m with Julie dude, if you can possably transition to something else it will be easier. I didn’t and I’m still paying for it almost 3 weeks later, but I was on done off and in for 20 years. The Ibogaine was a miracle tho it didn’t completely kill all withdrawal in my case. I’ve got that kind of luck. I still think that Ibogaine is the answer to methadone addiction. It has just got to be worked out to cover residual withdrawal for about 6 weeks. Everyone  says benzo’s are not the answer but it sure sounds good to me. I was ready to take Subutex yesterday and the Dr. was out of town or I would be high right now. But I think I have had a, I don’t know what to call it, I just decided I’d rather fight it out. Piss on meth or any opiates that shit robbed me of my singing voice. I haven’t been able to sing like this since I was 24 years old and I’m the same age as you. Good luck mahn.             Randy

Charlie,

No, the doc never recommended this.  It was my idea,
due to a failed Ibo detox(on my part).  Methadone is
notoriously difficult to detox from.  Most doctors
would probably not even CONSIDER writing scripts for
morphine for this purpose.  I suggest consulting your
friendly, neighbourhood dr*g dealer- I put in an
‘order’ about two weeks ago, et voila- 30 tabs!  Just
make sure you know what you’re buying…

Maybe my pain specialist will be open minded to let me try it this way. As I mentioned, I do have chronic pain, and don’t want to try it with something with enough  acetaminophen  that may cause liver shut down at the doses of  acetaminophen in something like P’cet or L’cet, considering i’m sure my doses of Hydro will be 8 or 10 times the norm. Then too, I could go the Ibo way afterwards. Then well see just how tough my pain is going to be to handle. Did your MD actually suggest you do it this way with the morophine? When you said “procured”, I wasn’t sure. I hope this guy i’m going to see has a clear understanding of what i’m up against. That was basically my point, too. Going from a long acting agent to a short one. Thanks,

Hi Charlie and list,

I forgot: my doc also gave me a kick-kit, which
includes clonidine, trazadone, arthrotec, loperamide,
and gravol.  Most addiction docs will probably write
you a script for the first three, and the last two are
over the counter.

Dear Charlie,

I am currently kicking the ‘done.  It’s day 4.5, and I
feel pretty stable- not surprising seeing as though I
procured 30 tabs of morph.15mg, time released.  I have
limited myself to roughly 25-40mg per day(depending on
severity of daily symptoms), based on my doctor’s
recommendation.  I wanted to clean the metha. out of
my body, while remaining fairly comfortable, as I have
to work- I run my own business.  I will be detoxing
off the morphine with Ibo in approximately 2 weeks
time, here in Toronto.

The morph. is eliminating a great majority of the
symptoms, but I am experiencing some breakthrough
discomfort, not to mention the fact that I just want
to shove 8 of these pills at once down my throat, for
f*ck’s sake! However, I would highly recommend this
method to anyone considering metha. detox.  It’s a
‘fairly’ smooth transition from a long lasting op*ate
to a short one.

It CAN be done- it’s just pretty tough and time
consuming, not to mention an utter shock to your body,
mind and soul.

I wish you the best of luck.  You CAN succeed.

cheers,
Julie

Preston Pete,

How long did you allow yourself to taper, or wean, off ‘done. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being worst, give me an idea of the difficulty and length of time. Also, let me ask you something that i’ve been wondering about for a while, but have not been able to find anything on any searches about. There is a chance I may have to use some sort of narcotic pain reliever anyway after detox from M’done for bad chronic pain. Right now don’t know which is worse, the pain or the ‘done slavery, but probably the latter at the moment. I thought of trying to detox off something milder ( straight codeine or something that does not contain 500 or so of acetominophine, (liver damage, assuming it would take a lot of the analgesic itself  (maybe 8 or 10 times the normal dose to try it.) I know now that even what I was on before now seems to be a cakewalk no more than I was on at the time (8 or so LT+’s a day) to get off compared to ‘done. I know that drugs without the acetominophine are usually a schedule higher, are they not? Any choices going this route, at least until I kick the dreaded ‘done? Just a thought. Know anyone who’s done it, and how? Like I said, I may just have to face the fact of just trying to cut my pain level 50%, and take some milder med AS PRESCRIBED. I really don’t think I would have a problem with this, as long as i get some relief maybe with some other alternative meds along with a milder analgesic. I’ve been going to the clinic going on 8 years and have stayed off drugs ( not 1 bad urine) and even quit alcohol completely. What do you think?                              Thanks for your time,
Norris

I feel her pain, but I would guess the alcohol and “meds” (which are never mentioned what kind) the doctor wrote are the real culprits here, or just juvenile depression. I’ve never heard of anyone dying from smoking pot, much less from killing themselves from the efects of pot alone. I know she means well, but I think she may be chasing the wrong demon. Now about people killing themselves from just plain depression, alcohol, and anti depressants (if that’s what meds she is talking about,although surely not the only meds) it’s a long list indeed. I would guess there was much more bothering this young man than going back to pot and alcohol. Something deeper in his psyche that started the use to begin with. I know when I drank, I got very depressed, worthless thoughts when I was 24. Never off pot. Never knew anyone who did off pot. I’m truely sorry for her loss, but I would guess she is chasing the wrong culprit if pot is the one she is blaming. Now alcohol or precription meds? More the right track to follow, I would guess just from lots of experiences. And those of many other people. Again, I am truely sorry for her loss of her son, but sometimes the answers just are not that easy to answer when the mind and depression are involved. Personally, I think pot is the safest thing going as far as deaths, accidents, violence, etc. It’s just the legal aspect that bothers most. That’s just my opinion, but the world would surely be a better place if pot replaced alcohol and a lot of other drugs, legal or otherwise. There are new negative findings about youth’s taking anti-depressants and other supposedly safe FDA drugs coming out on a daily basis. I know i was put on steroids for a medical condition, and could have easily hurt myself or someone else without ever knowing why until I went back to my doctor thinkig I was going crazy. It was the steroids. Just had a very, very, very, adverse effect on me. But no way to know until I tried them. Never again. Just plain frightning.
Sorry for her loss and meant no disespect,
Norris

But they all say how easy it is to taper off, but I have not talked to anyone who has had much success that way, especially after years on it.<

Just to let you know, this is how I myself got off methadone, so it is possible to do, just not that easy, contrary to what some others seem to have told you.
I have a friend who posts on this list who was treated in Mexico, from 110 milligrams of methadone, and I’m not sure at what day “clean” from methadone is now, but he’s got to be closing in on 2 months, or come to think of it probably over 2 months off now.
St. Kitts sounds nice, in that it’s a clinical setting (well, depends on whether one thinks a clinical setting is really a “nice” setting to take strong hallucinogens in- I’m not sure I personally do come to think of it, other than for the fact they have lots of other drugs they can and do give to help ease the withdrawals and such, I think), but it is one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive I’ve heard about. IbogaTherapyHouse is often free or at least very cheap, but they may only be taking Canadian at the moemnt. The folk in Mexico sound very fine, reputable and caring, but I don’t know the name of that outfit off the top of my head- someone here does though I’m sure.
Sara Glatt in Amsterdam sounds about the nicest of all of them, to my perspective of things anyway, in that she’s got a much more releaxed setting to help our users in as well as an extremely unjudgemental attitude it appears from my long distance impressions.
There are also underground groups operating here and there around the US, but I’m not sure what they’re situation is in terms of Alabama (not the most friendly state towards currently illicit drugs and those who use them, even though used to treat drug abuse. Weird huh. Yet another glaring signal that the prohibitionists care not one whit about actually stopping or even slowing drug use, much less abuse or about anyone’s safety or health.
Anyway, stick around a while, lots of info flows through here.

Peace and love,

Hey Sean,

I live in N. Alabama. I feel OK. I’m still going to a clinic, although I have an appointment with a pain specialist later this month. I’m not going to rush into anything until I talk with them. But they all say how easy it is to taper off, but I have not talked to anyone who has had much success that way, especially after years on it. I found out about Ibogaine just by doing a search on treatments for opiods. No one around these parts i’ve talked to had ever heard of it. After reading about the place in Mexico again, Rosarito, it does not sound that bad. Sounds like they are competent, and cheaper than St. Kitts. Know anyone who’s had it done at the Ibogaine Association in Rosarito? I’ve heard age can be a minus at over 40, and i’m pushing 47. Anything to that? I’m in good general health besides the obvious neck/back disk troubles. No major health problems, just a little high cholesterol.

Preston,
Perhaps she should look into the suicidal side effects of the medications
that this young man was prescribed by the medical community. The warnings
that came out last week were not limited to juveniles.

Anyone else have anything to say to this “poor” woman? I mean, it’s tough getting angry at people like this, the ones who seem to think they’re helping matters by encouraging more war against others like her “marijuana addicted,” now-dead son.

Subject: Marijuana IS a Dangerous Drug

I am a Probation/Parole Agent from Wisconsin, and I am fighting my own war against the very dangerous drug, marijuana.  My son was an every day user of the killer, and at the age of 24 he took his life.  Prior, he was so depressed from using marijuana and alcohol together  so the doctor put him on medication, which only made the situation worse..  He shot himself in February of 2001.
Adam said to me when he was younger that marijuana was not a dangerous drug but just prior to his death, he did say to me, “You know, Mom, marijuana is really dangerous, isn’t it?”  If only I would have known.
Adam was extremely intelligent, and in fact,  when he took his tests to get into the tech school, his counselor told him, he didn’t belong there, he belonged in a four year program, – but he didn’t work to his potential because of his drug usage, so he didn’t get the grades he needed.
I now go to schools, prisons, churches, recovery groups, just anywhere anyone asks me to go and I tell “Adam’s Story”.  It is extremely powerful, and I have turned this awful negative into a positive. Just this year alone, I have done it 47 times, so you can see it is in demand.
From my experience of being a Probation/Parole Agent, I also can speak about real life situations of my clients and their use of marijuana.  They say it is not addictive, but the number of clients that risk the possibility of going to jail because they can not NOT use is staggering.  The drug has messed up so many lives.
The message I give is the danger of using marijuana, especially when someone takes medication, and I  foil the idea that it is harmless.
In “Adam’s Story”. I tell his life as he grew up, I talk about his addiction, his suicide, and my journey through grief.  Do you know, they wouldn’t let me see him, hold him, touch him, they wouldn’t let me say good-bye?  He is JUST gone.
It is SO powerful.  You should see the letters I have gotten and what people say.  I went into a treatment center in one of the prisons, and Adam’s picture is in the display case at the center with the caption “ALCOHOL AND DRUGS TOOK THIS MAN’S LIFE AT THE AGE OF 24”.  The guys don’t know who he is, and then I come in and tell his story.  One time, there was a guy in the audience who was going to quit the program, and after hearing the story, he couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind.  On the day he successfully completed the program, he gave his social worker a big drawing, and it was of the picture of Adam in the display case.  He told his social worker he couldn’t get me or Adam out of his mind, and he had to do something.  He asked the social worker to send me the picture.  I have it framed and hanging in my living room.  I am trying to turn this awful negative into a positive.
Sometimes I wonder, am I making a difference, but I got a letter from a 15 year old boy who was in a treatment center, who wrote and said that he had been suicidal since the previous July, and hearing my story, he will never do that to his mother.  His counselor, who had been seeing him for some time, didn’t even know he was suicidal.
Thank you for letting me tell you what I am doing, and hopefully all of us together can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Linda Kroll

To Vote or Pot to Vote for Kerry, that is a question

Doper support will be the kiss of death for Democratic Senator and Presidential candidate John Kerry, subscribers sneered on massively liberal dailykos.com when I posted the news that voters were being registered at the Washington State Hempfest. Do these people think that drug users don’t vote? That they have no influence? That they still dress in bell bottoms and wear flowers in their hair?
The right wing is way ahead on this. Libertarians are almost uniformly in favor of immediate legalization. Even hard core conservatives are anti-drugwar. On far right FreeRepublic.com, a drugwar abuse item typically pulls about 75% outright antidrugwar comments. The culturally tolerant fiscal conservative could be Kerry’s key swing voter.

Oh Preston I really feel for you and V.  I will most definately light a
candle for Haley.  I know exactly what you mean about her meaning so much to
you.

I used to own a ferret who I adored.  He was my baby and the only ‘preson’
who could always say the right thing.  I went on a weeks holiday and left
him with my ex purely because I felt he was the only person I could trust
with something so precious.  It took an hour from when I picked him up to
rush him to the vets. Its was clear he was seriously ill but my ex said he’d
been fine all week.  Ferdy was just gasping for breath and my heart broke.
The made an oxygen tent for him and he ended up drowning from water in his
lungs.  I went into shock, proper physical shock and had to be sat with and
given sweet tea.  Other people were harsh-he was just a ferret.  But since
then I’ve never owned a pet-I can’t ever go through that again.  Until I
found Shiva my dog that is, who was so severely neglected I had to take him
off his owner and has been with me since.  I daren’t think about when he’ll
die, I really don’t know what I’ll do…

I hated my Ex after that-how could he not have seen?  And I blamed myself-I
should never have gone on holiday selfishly enjoying myself while my baby
was dying.  And I should have left him with someone else.  Problem was that
no one wanted to look after a Ferret, even just for a week.

But at least we know they were happy.  She sounds like an she was an amazing
friend-treasure those memories.
With love,
Hannah

Subject: [Ibogaine] light a candle please

Hi all, This is pretty off topic even though I do tie it in at one point
during this note:
One of our cats started to get sick a couple weeks ago, just not eating
actually but other than for that, and sleeping more in the back room, she
wasn’t otherwise showing any signs of outwardly plain illness. We took her
to the vet last week after she hadn’t hardly eaten anything for the whole
week, and she wound up getting five teeth pulled.
Having had my own massive amounts of toothwork done on myself
recently,
and knowing how painful and even debilitating it was for me, I could only
imagine how bad it must have been for her, so when I saw her lying there
drooling I only thought it was tooth pulling pain. I never considered it
could be something worse.
But she didn’t show any signs of recovering all the past week since
that
operation. She just lay there, not eating anything other than teeny licks
of
baby food, off an offered spoon.
Sunday night as we went to sleep I told V we had to take Haley to the
vet in the morning for a followup, as I was becoming convinced finally
that
something more was going on, that she wasn’t doing as well as she should
be
after a week.
The next day V was asleep, having been at work ’til 5AM (bartending
does
that to a schedule), so I was the only one awake. At around 10:30 or so, I
heard an unusual noise. After hearing it a few more times, I got up to
investigate, deciding quickly that it was something the workmen painting
the
newly vacated apartment next door were doing. But walk back through the
kitchen and getting something to eat, I heard the sound again.
I looked down, and there was Haley, named for the comet due to her
speed
and motion, lying on her side, obviously very, very, very sick and maybe
even already dead.
I dropped what I was eating onto the bar, and bent down to touch her,
saying her name aloud. She felt stiff and I again considered for a second
that she was dead, but she coughed again, showing me it was her making the
odd sound I’d been hearing.
I yanked her out of the box and woke up V, telling her we had to go to
the vet “Right Now!” V jumped up, grabbed Haley from me, and started to
the
vet who did the toothwork.
V dropped her shoes away halfway there and started running with Haley
cradled in her arms, racing off ahead of crippled, cane-laden me. When I
got
to the vet, I found out the vet wasn’t there, it being Columbus Day, and
only the assistant was there. Haley had died half-way to the office, her
little heart stopping along the way. Now her eyes were open and staring
off
into space and her beautiful head was lolling as V held her and tried to
revive her.
The assistant told us about another vet a few blocks away, and off we
raced, grabbing a cab within half a block and reaching the second vet’s
office within 5 minutes or less of Haley’s heart stopping. V told the vets
to do everything they could to save her, and they did. (Damn vets are
expensive.) They gave her a number of shots of adrenaline-like chemicals,
as
well as (the drug tie in) Ketamine and more, and they gave her emergency
liquids and put in a tube to help keep her breathing clear. She was
breathing on her own, and her heart was going by itself, but she was still
doing that weird staring into space without reacting whatsoever to us
touching her face around her eyes, not blinking at all nor showing any
life
in them.
She held out for a couple of hours, struggling to come back, but she
just couldn’t do it. She was FIV, the kat version of HIV, and we suspect
that she either had a reaction to the anesthesia or there was an infection
resulting from the surgery, or something was being compounded by but was
already there and masked by the more obvious signs of tooth issues. She
had
really strange overabundance of phlegm from her mouth and in her lungs,
and
liquid was pouring from her eyes as well, and she basically was drowning
until she finally had a heart attack, and died. We couldn’t save her.
It has been a real shock. I know some people don’t treat animals on
the
same level as people, but to V and I, they are our children. We do not
ever
plan (knock on wood) on having human children, prefering to focus on the
more furry and more leggy kind of kids who also need homes. Haley was only
six, a young kat, and she was full of life until very recently. She would
literally kiss us on the lips, puckering up as much as a kat can, having
come to us as an incredibly tiny kitten.
I keep having feelings of guilt that I didn’t see she was so sick
until
way too late. I know that I am not really at fault, but I can’t help the
feelings. I’m also feeling that horrible feeling of “It’s Not Fair,” which
is pointless but unavoidable right now. She was not sick so recently that
it’s got me numb every time I realize I can’t go in the back room and pet
her, hang out and play with strings and such with her.
Anyway, light a candle for her please, or whatever you may do in
memory
and to wish well for those who’ve died.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

I really appreciate it. It sure is sounding better all the time. I have one of the “good guy” doctors too. He’s a really caring, understanding person, and he actually listens when you have something to say. He is already been helping me out all he can, but i’ll bet he’s never even heard of ibogaine. I may run off some clinical studies for him to read. He’s the type of guy who love’s to learn new about treatments, cures, etc. Being so new to this, only even ever hearing of it in the last week,. I want to take at least a month or two to lower my dose on ‘done, and get my mind and body ready with good nutrition and as much excercise as I can do, even if it’s just walking. I want also to make sure i’m in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, and have talked to a couple who seem to. Thanks for your story and encouragement.

Norris, Ibogaine is the answer. I have tried to stop methadone about 5 times now. The best I could ever do up until now was get addicted to something else. I got honest with my Dr.s and every one of them helped in some way. My family doc in KY even gave me a free EKG test. If your doing the right thing the right thing happens. A way will work itself out if you do your part. Be persistant and call every number you can find and work out a deal. Its getting cheaper all the time. 10 years ago you couldn’t even talk about it for less then 10,000. Good luck and I’m here if you need some help.           Randy

PS I’ve been talking to people who have been in worse shape than me and I thought they had heard of every way possible to detox and many who have done it the hard way many times, and need to again. Nobody i’ve talked to so far has even heard of Ibogaine in N. Alabama. One guy I was sure had heard of it, he’s done everything out there. Had not. I just got lucky looking under searches after hearing about Subutex and how it was not all it’s cracked up to be. As a matter of fact, I called a local doctor, and they have already quit using  it to detox. I ran into Ibogaine doing searches for other methods, thinking I had read all the options available. I guess it pays not to give up looking.

I hear you. It is only during the last week that I had even heard of it, so i’m still in the early rearching phase. What i’m reading so far though, I believe your recommendation of E.T. may be the way to go. Should I carry someone with me? Maybe a brother or a good friend if I can find one. I may not be able to find someone available. They all have jobs and family’s (i’m single and on paid layoff.) I’m starting to get excited of the possibility of not having to go through hell and back. Tell me it ain’t too good to be true. I don’t expect a joyride, but it just sounds like it will be 10 times better than the alternatives. Thanks.

I would definately have every test done that would be wise to do, even if my insurance would not cover some of them and I had to pay out of pocket. It’s getting ridiculous just trying to get a doctor to order an MRI these days because the insurance companies put so much pressure on them. It took me nearly a year to get this last MRI ordered, and I was right. Again. Major disk problems. Again. You’d think at some point they’d give the patient a little more credit at making a diagnosis when your pain level is about an 8 out of 10 and you can tell exactly where the problem is. After all, i’ve been through this twice before. But I digress. It goes without saying I would not even attempt this if my heart and other vitals were not up to it. Although, even going the old fashioned way, i.e. cold turkey, weening, can’t be very good on the old ticker, either. Much less the psyche, or any other part of the body I can think of.

Dude, I’m 47 that aint old. I did Ibogaine 2 weeks ago at a secure location. Ha. It is becoming more and more available. It is doable if you want off of methadone. Its the only painless way there is. Check out all your options first and then make a move. It took me a year to be able to do it. Things are changing fast. If you work it right you could be clean next month. Keep stable and get to work talking to providers. Eric Taub in Florida is one I would be checking on if I was you.    Free your mind and your ass will follow       Randy

this reply to patrick’s message is in reference to post heroin.  i dont
know if how it will help post ibo.

The question iz: are you following sum sorta paradigm that precludes
the use of any drugs whatsoever…?  ‘Cuz, if you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT
FUCKING SLEEP and are GOING INSANE…  A reasonable benzo that will
knock you on your ass and make the lights go out is Restoril
(Temazepam).  Doing a 30MG cap should suffice, if not … well, 60MG
will do it.

i was going slightly psychotic not sleeping – untill a good friend of mine
(who so happends to have cancer) saw how bad i was doing and gave me some
of his clonazapams and ambien and xanax.  it helped out alot when i ran
outa valium. just dont get hooked on the b3nz0s. its no good.
i also have bad grinding of the teeth and clenched jaw (all day every
day), and those pills help with that as well.

Chanting, praying, StiLlIng your m1nd, doing yoga, changing your life,
and thinking soOthing thotZ, may enhance all of the above, or even,
eventually, cause you to move your dependence over to
chanting/praying/thinking soothing thoughts, instead of eating piLlZ.

the whole transcendence thing associated with the list of activities
provided is a MUST post heroin.  for me praying does the tr1ck real well.
NOTE: find something other then yourself (if thats your thing) to prey to
-cause eg0 destruction is inevitable.
i chant in the shower cause the acoustics R0CK there.
masterbation is key post benzo intake, pre sleep.

I like to think I have a good, kind heart. I have a great respect for all creatures, big and small. I also find greater enjoyment doing things for others than doing things for myself. I think as far as doing something I would be good at, I would love to devote some free time to the local animal shelter, but they still put unwanted animals to sleep. I just don’t think I could stand that. I’ve found a place near here that has a “no kill” policy, and plan to donate time and money there when I get my situation a bit more stable. I’ll need something to keep my mind busy with something I love. I became addicted to pain killers through surgeries (one botched), and thought my situation was worse than it was. I went the clinic route without enough research, thinking I was a bad drug addict for taking my prescribed meds and having trouble (sick) quitting them when I got a little better. Now, my neck/back are much, much worse, hence the planned appointments with the conventional MD’s. I’ve had 2 surgeries on my neck and a titanium plate, so I doubt anymore surgery will do any good there, but maybe on my back. I need this ‘done monkey off my back first, then i’ll have to finds ways to deal with the chronic pain. The ‘done does absolutely nothing for the pain at 120 mg.( at least I don’t think it does. It could be twice as bad without it, but I won’t know until I get it out of my system.) But I know I don’t want to go any higher. I just recently over the last year got up that high as my chronic pain got much worse. Just reading the peoples nightmares of cold turkey, weening off slow, etc. is really scary stuff. It just seemed to consume my every thought how I was ever going to do it until I did a search and found this site. I pray i’ve found an alternative way to skip the hellish stories i’ve read. Like I said, i’ve never so much as seen any “H”, but did experiment in my younger days with just about everything else.But the key word there is “experiment.” Never addicted to anything I couldn’t just put down until my surgeries.Even then, it was never more than 8 or so LT+’s a day, but I thought that was really bad until I started hearing people at the clinic talk about taking 30 or so a day without batting an eye. So anyway, i’ll do the research this time. Thanks for all the info.

Hey Sean,

I live in N. Alabama. I feel OK. I’m still going to a clinic, although I have an appointment with a pain specialist later this month. I’m not going to rush into anything until I talk with them. But they all say how easy it is to taper off, but I have not talked to anyone who has had much success that way, especially after years on it. I found out about Ibogaine just by doing a search on treatments for opiods. No one around these parts i’ve talked to had ever heard of it. After reading about the place in Mexico again, Rosarito, it does not sound that bad. Sounds like they are competent, and cheaper than St. Kitts. Know anyone who’s had it done at the Ibogaine Association in Rosarito? I’ve heard age can be a minus at over 40, and i’m pushing 47. Anything to that? I’m in good general health besides the obvious neck/back disk troubles. No major health problems, just a little high cholesterol.
Thanks,

I’m new to this email thread, site, list, or whatever it is (signed up to get emails but have not found up to date threads at site.) I’m in the situation I suppose most are in, or they would not be here. What are anyone’s options other than healingvisions in St. Kitts? I’ve read about Mexican treatments, but not sure how safe that option would be. I’ve not figured out how to post to the place I signed up to get these email messages, so that’s why i’m just sending an email out. I got on ‘done after the clinic making me think I was a major druggy because I took LT+’s for pain for fumbled neck surgeries. Never had an addiction prior to that. I never took more than 8 or so a day,( later found out some people were taking 30 or so a day) never have even seen any H, never iv’ed, but now am a chronic pain patient again after more back/neck/lumbar herniatd disk problems. The 120mg does nothing for the pain, and I just want out. Won’t go any higher. I’ll worry about the pain later. This seems almost too good to be true, and must be with the limited options it seems a person has to get treatment. Any place where I can find more options. If I had the money, the St. Kitt’s place seems like the best place to go (???) I’m guessing at least 10 grand. Is there going to be any hope in the near future for other options? I just stumbled on to this by accident looking for options, so I know really nothing but what i’ve been able to read in the last week or so. It’s just really interesting and sounds much, much better than any other alternatives. Any advise,news,info,sites would be appreciated.                         Thanks,
Norris

Hey list,

Just a note to say I have been really busy enjoying life post ibo. In the past week I have been to two museums, a movie, a Russian House party on a boat, attended a Yippee meeting, ate at several cool restaurants…

After twenty years of crack smoking and year of heroin use there is so much living to catch up on. When I first got on this list I only left the house to work or use. Period.
By freeing form the chains of crack, heroin and booze (crack, smack and Jack) I am finally able to lead a fulfilling life. Truly fucking incredible.

And I could not have done it without this list. Even when I cannot post for several days, the you mindvoxians are on my mind.

Preston: so sorry about you cat. Losing a pet is so hard.
Randy: How did the brownies work out?

To all who have wished well thank you! To all struggling, the fight is worth it. It’s only your life at stake! So keep posting the good, the bad, the ugly and the really humorous. As we Americans say, “It’s all good!”

Peace,
Sean

Being awake for so long after taking Ibogaine is hard, Im with you on that Randy. Some things that get me through that time are knowing that its not going last anymore than a week; its a completely different thing than being up for daze on drugs, because its pure and I find that time when all you want to do is sleep because your mind and your body do not seem connected. Your mind is “catagorizing” or doing what it does post Ibo and your body is calling out for rest. The wonder comes not when you finally get some sleep, but when you awake. Everything seems to be running parallel, the answers that we already know seem to have surfaced and we can see them for what they are. Even your senses seem more acute and more appreciative of what they get to sense. It was frustrating after a few days of being awake but natural knockouts were there, the list was here and I knew I was just, in a sense, coccooning. This may not help you. But you helped me to remember certain things so I thank you and wish you well.

Maybe thats why I forgot, it didn’t touch the bundle a day habit I had then. I feel much better now thanx. I guess it all kinda stopped today. Its been 2 weeks since the smackdown. I’ve slept 4 and then 5 hours and I actually feel sorta human,
Ibo human for I have definitely changed. Who cares if I sleep tonight my Strat needs stringin’ bad, won’t stay in tune, and my place is a wreck. I have no idea what the fuck just happened on my computer so I will get out with this,Ibogaine is the answer to a whole lot of problems.

Randy,

I am speed-reading, skimming, and otherwise missing a lotta content frum roughly 500 messages at once…

But…  If the problem is sleeping, post-ibogaine.  A question, followed by a suggestion.

The question iz: are you following sum sorta paradigm that precludes the use of any drugs whatsoever…?  ‘Cuz, if you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT FUCKING SLEEP and are GOING INSANE…  A reasonable benzo that will knock you on your ass and make the lights go out is Restoril (Temazepam).  Doing a 30MG cap should suffice, if not … well, 60MG will do it.

‘Course, if you use this every single time you need to sleep, then, eventually, that tolerance thing will SNEAK UP and FIND YOU, and you’ll be right where you started (not sleeping, with or without benzos, unless you start swallowing a handful at a time).

Sumthin’ that works a lot better, is mixing sublingual melatonin (I do 12MG, but you can start with 3 or 6, and see whut it does for you) + either Ambien or doxylamine succinate (you can get doxylamine over the counter, it is contained in the ORIGINAL Unisom for instance.  It is NOT THE SAME THING as the Sleep Gel things, and 95% of the other over-the-counter shit out there which contains: diphenhydramine HCl, andh has never done a fucking thing to help knock me out.

In other words, READ THE LABEL.  You WANT: doxylamine succinate <–

Whereas, diphenhydramine HCl (aka: Benadryl) doesn’t do a fuckin’ thing (at least not for me, nor most of the people I know who have tried it).

Chanting, praying, StiLlIng your m1nd, doing yoga, changing your life, and thinking soOthing thotZ, may enhance all of the above, or even, eventually, cause you to move your dependence over to chanting/praying/thinking soothing thoughts, instead of eating piLlZ.

It’s just that, sleeping, RIGHT NOW, may be of greater importance to you.

Just saying,

Patrick

Pfizer executives, the pushers and manufacturers of these pharmaceuticals, will never see the inside of a jail, nor will the FDA folk who ok’d the sale of these drugs- nor the legislators who receive funding from the pharmaceutical corporations.
Looking through Kerry’s financial statements for 2003 at his campaign website, filed I take it when he declared his candidacy, show a fair number of investments in big pharmaceutical corporations, among the many pages of companies he holds investment in. I didn’t check Bush, knowing already he also has a fair number of those big business connections.

Pfizer Warns of Risks From Its Painkiller
By REED ABELSON

Published: October 16, 2004

fizer warned doctors yesterday that one of its best-selling painkillers, Bextra, might increase the risk of heart attack or stroke in coronary artery bypass surgery patients. The announcement comes just two weeks after Merck removed from the market its painkiller, Vioxx, which is in the same class of medicines as Bextra, because a study showed that the risk of heart attacks doubled for patients who had taken Vioxx 18 months or longer.
Pfizer said a clinical study involving more than 1,500 patients showed that those who had undergone bypass surgery and had taken Bextra intravenously and orally were at higher risk for heart attacks. An initial study last year raised similar concerns in the same kinds of patients.
The painkillers known as COX-2 inhibitors, which include Bextra and Vioxx, have been widely prescribed to people with arthritis. Merck’s decision to withdraw Vioxx cast suspicion on the safety of drugs in that class. Now Pfizer’s warning is sure to fuel the debate about the overall safety of these drugs for all patients.
Officials of the Food and Drug Administration said yesterday that the agency would convene a panel of independent experts in January to discuss these issues. Regulators abroad have also indicated plans to review COX-2 drugs.
Pfizer said it was already conducting research into whether Bextra increases the risk of heart attacks in people taking the drug for chronic pain. The company also issued a warning yesterday about an extremely rare and potentially fatal skin reaction to Bextra.
In addition to Bextra, Pfizer also makes Celebrex, the best-selling COX-2 drug on the market. Bextra is the company’s new and faster-acting version of Celebrex.
Pfizer says there is no evidence that its drugs have problems similar to Vioxx because they are chemically different. Although Bextra is not approved for use for surgery patients, Pfizer said its studies had shown that general surgery patients – as opposed to bypass patients – are not at higher risk for heart attacks.
But some doctors say this group of drugs may work in a way that increases the risk of heart problems for some patients, and they point to this latest information as additional reason for concern.
“There are serious questions to be addressed here,” said Dr. Garret A. FitzGerald, a University of Pennsylvania cardiologist and pharmacologist who raised concerns about the painkillers in The New England Journal of Medicine this month.
But Dr. FitzGerald also emphasized that these drugs are useful for certain patients. “We absolutely shouldn’t yank these drugs as a class,” he said.
Other doctors also expressed concerns about the new information from Pfizer. “It’s going to require a lot of really serious looks,” said Dr. David Campen, a rheumatologist for Kaiser Permanente in California, a major health network, who has also been involved in research on some of these drugs.
Millions of people have taken these drugs for pain and chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, and sales of these three drugs – Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra – exceeded $6 billion last year.

Members of Congress Face Conflict of Interest When it Comes to Drug Companies
Friday, September 29, 2000
By GREG GORDON and ANDREW DONOHUE
McClatchy Newspapers
During a year when prescription drug prices and benefits are among the hottest political topics, dozens of members of Congress also have another reason to keep their eyes on pharmaceutical companies.
These senators, House members and their families own tens of millions of dollars in stock in drug manufacturers, whose profits could rise or fall depending on what Congress does about the soaring prices of medicine and the push for Medicare drug benefits.
The legislators’ stock holdings are legal but create appearances that trouble some congressional watchdogs and public policy experts.
Rep. Robin Hayes, R-N.C., one of the wealthiest members of Congress, owned more than $11 million in drug stocks on Dec. 31, 1999, the Washington Bureau of McClatchy Newspaper found in reviewing 180 members’ latest financial disclosure statements. The reports showed that 36 members or their families owned drug stocks – including a number who sit on committees with jurisdiction over the industry.
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin owned shares worth $2.2 million to $7.1 million in five drug makers. He is the ranking Republican on a Judiciary subcommittee that often reviews patent legislation that can deliver windfalls to name-brand drug companies.
Although Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., sits on the Senate Commerce Committee that likely will have a role in shaping any Medicare drug package, his wife Teresa, a Heinz family heiress, owned shares in eight drug companies worth $2.1 million to $4.2 million.
The year-end pharmaceutical shareholder lists also include Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush and his family with $62,000 to $234,000 in drug stocks; his running mate, Dick Cheney ($150,000 to $350,000), and the wife of Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee ($15,000 to $50,000).

Health care is another sector that’s bound to generate partisan buying and selling. Aging baby boomers contending with skyrocketing drug costs and workers struggling with soaring insurance premiums have forced both candidates to develop plans to overhaul the health-care system. Each approach could make or break some health providers’ stocks.
A big casualty of another Bush term could be operators of health plans and nursing homes. In light of the escalating federal deficit, the president may try to curb domestic expenditures by slashing Medicare reimbursements, says Greg Valliere, chief strategist at Schwab Washington Research Group. That could wreak havoc on HMOs like Wellpoint Health Networks (WLP) and Oxford Health (OHP), as well as long-term-care providers like Kindred Healthcare (KIND) and Manor Care (HCR). Nursing homes, in particular, rely heavily on government reimbursements once seniors run out of savings. The average nursing home charges $66,000 a year.
If Kerry were to win in November, a Republican-led Congress would virtually guarantee gridlock in Washington, particularly over such a divisive and expensive issue as health care. Kerry may rely less on legislation and more on regulation to implement his policies. And that could spell trouble for Big Pharma.
Kerry could, for example, push the Food and Drug Administration to certify drugs for re-importation from Canada, something the Bush administration refused to do. That would be a blow to pharmaceutical powerhouses like Eli Lilly (LLY), Merck (MRK) and Pfizer (PFE) that sell the same drugs in the U.S. at a significant markup. In another bid to make drugs more affordable, especially for seniors, Kerry might favor generics over brand names. That would benefit companies like Mylan Laboratories (MYL), Barr Laboratories (BRL) and Watson Pharmaceuticals (WPI).
“Kerry might not be able to get much done on the Hill, but he gets to appoint the heads of the FDA, FTC, FCC,” says Valliere, “so there could be some regulatory impact.”

Professor John Davis, head coach of the Mock Trial team and adviser for the Howard Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, disagrees with the idea that the alliances Bush has with big businesses will affect the November election.

“The support for George Bush and John Kerry is about the same. Kerry has big businesses supporting him as well,” Davis said.

Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

List,

My apologies if this has been brought up already, but
I recently came across an article written by the
parent of an opiate addicted woman.  This article
discusses using GHB to combat dope-sickness, and has
nothing but high praise for the substance.

Has anyone here used GHB when detoxing?  I would love
to hear your report…

Here’s the article:

Using GHB to Mitigate Opiate Withdrawal
What’s Related >>

by Bilbo

We have a 27 year old daughter whom we love dearly.
She has been away from home for about eight years, and
recently it became apparent that she had become
addicted to heroin. This was the result of a few years
of smoking and of nasal insufflation. When we as a
family confronted her and asked her permission to help
her through whatever process was necessary to the
ending of this addiction. She collapsed emotionally
and said, “Yes, please do.”

The reader will have to forgive me if I write this in
less than an abstract and detached manner, as I am
writing about our flesh and blood, for whom we would
walk through fire, and whose life style had at times
wounded us beyond that which we would have thought
ourselves able to recover from. So great is love
sometimes that it leaves us confused and yet willing
to face undreamed depths of risk and pain. Thus we
began the process of restoration of our family.

She had seen enough of the government and regulatory
control and “strung-outness” that goes with methadone
treatment, and wanted no part of that, (for which we
were most grateful). Although she had a strong dread
of the “great sickness” which surely was heading her
way, she was bravely willing to “hole up” in our spare
bedroom and endure whatever might be her lot. She had
been sick before and loathed the prospect; yet loathed
even more the continued slavery and premature death
that would most likely be her portion otherwise.

I had read several mentions of the use of various
substances useful in mitigating the effects of opiate
withdrawal on newsgroups on the interned; among them
LSD, ibogaine, and GHB. Because of several social and
spiritual and family dynamics, and because of the
availability of GHB, it seemed the likeliest of the
possibilities.

I posted an inquiry to a individual I had read on one
of the well known news groups who had mentioned GHB as
an option to ibogaine. I asked for any references he
might know of that mentioned any clinical protocols
for the administration of GHB in opiate withdrawal.
(While I acknowledge that the mechanisms of action for
these two compounds could not be more disparate, GHB
seemed the only likely candidate). In a couple of days
this person replied with the abstract of a study from
some Italian medical researchers which had used GHB as
the agent for mitigation of symptoms of withdrawal.

I am currently unable to locate the specific research,
which was originally published in an international
journal of neuropsychiatry. However, the portion
containing the meat of the issue I was interested in
remains clear. The cohort of volunteers numbered, I
believe, in the several of dozens. Those who received
the GHB, rated their experience of withdrawal as
greatly modified by the application of periodic doses
of GHB during the course of the several days of
withdrawal. The need for any additional medication for
sleep, for nausea, and several of the other acute
symptoms was greatly reduced or totally eliminated in
the majority of persons undergoing treatment.

The protocol for the administration of GHB during the
initial and acute phase of opiate withdrawal is as
follows: 0.025 grams of GHB per kilogram of body
weight given orally every 3 to 4 hours for the first
three or four days, and then the same amount every 4
to 6 hours over the next 6 to 10 days. I, for
instance, weigh about 210 #, or 95.5 kilograms. The
desired dosage for me, therefore, would be just under
2.4 grams of GHB every dose period. A person would
take his or her weight in pounds, divide that by 2.2
to get the weight in kilograms, and then multiply that
product by .025 to obtain the desired dosage in grams.

A person would want to take the normal “sleeping dose”
of GHB prior to bed time, and follow this with another
full sleeping dose in middle of the night if awakening
occurs. That amount for most people amounts to about
0.1 grams per kilogram. During this dosing schedule it
is best if someone else is on hand to assist with
getting to and from the bathroom if needed in case of
difficulty in walking.

The object is not to render the individual
unconscious, but rather to allow a modicum of activity
and rest, while interrupting the acute symptoms of the
withdrawal. In as much as these individuals have a
demonstrated syndrome of dependence, it would be wise
for the helpers to pre measure the day’s dosages ahead
of time and possibly label them or assign them to
specific times for administration, thus eliminating
the tendency toward seeking oblivion on the part of
the patient.

My dear daughter specifically took me aside several
days after her acute withdrawal phase was over, and
told me that “in case I didn’t realize it,” she wanted
me to know in no uncertain terms, that GHB was nothing
short of a miracle for her. She initially wanted to
have me make it available to several of her friends
who had tried multiple times to “kick” unsuccessfully.
As much as I would like to be a help to others, I
decided that it would not be practical or prudent for
me to become known as a supplier of this remarkable
compound to a circle beyond my family and friends,
however noble the purpose.

So at this time my only knowledge of the efficacy of
GHB in the relief of acute symptoms of opiate
withdrawal is by way of a two or three year old
medical study, and of much more significance to me, my
dear daughter’s emergence from the dark and scary
world of addiction to heroin.

It seems that many, who would be very glad to leave
that slave master behind, are unable to do so out of
fear of the physical and psychological punishment
meted out to those who dare to rise up in pursuit of
freedom. GHB offers a safe, non-toxic, and gentle
guide for those who would take the underground railway
to freedom in the 90s.

My dear daughter was home with us for Thanksgiving,
and kindly consented to add a few remarks of a first
hand and personal nature to this report:

GHB reduced my symptoms of heroin withdrawal to
perhaps 1/10 of what I would normally have
experienced. Having maintained a fairly sizable habit,
(from one to two grams daily for several years) I had
undergone painful withdrawal many times, and was
nothing short of amazed at the mildness of detoxing
with GHB.

My symptoms usually included nausea, cramping,
headaches, sweating, watery eyes and nose, extreme
sensitivity to light and pain, physical weakness,
sleeplessness, and a general sense of restlessness and
discomfort.

With GHB, however, I was relaxed, even at the
point when symptoms are normally at their most
intense, and had enough energy to take walks and do
light work. Physical discomfort was mild. I had few
aches or cramps, and enjoyed a healthy appetite. At
night I was given a slightly larger dose, and slept
comfortably and soundly for four to six hours at a
time. I felt emotionally more stable than usual.
Whether this was due to my secure environment,
actually getting sleep, or a combination of the two, I
cannot say. Notable to me was a marked reduction of
the intense craving for heroin that usually
accompanies “kicking”.

I do not doubt that everyone’s experience with GHB
will vary slightly, but I found it to be remarkably
beneficial. While I would heartily recommend it to
anyone facing the pain and misery of heroin
withdrawal, I would also suggest having competent
support readily available for the first three or four
days.

Randy,

I completely understand the frustration of not being
able to sleep-  there is a reason why sleep
deprivation torture exists.

Have you tried chewing Valerian root, or drinking some
tincture?  Using it has made me crash a few times,
much to my relief.  Weed works too.  The only thing
with %100 knock out success(for me, at least) was
Valium, or some other benzodiazepine.  I would not
recommend these drugs, though- they are super
addictive, and way worse to come off than opiates.

How many days has it been since you first took
ibogaine?  And BTW, I don’t think you’re
egotistical…

Julie

I had insomnia for about 7 days, and then only 2-5

can really screw with your head- I feel for you.  It
will get better.

Sara’s right- melatonin DOES work, as do the other

where we would be without thee?

Are you planning a retreatment?

Hey Randy, no – nahin, nyet – there is *not* opium in
the Flower Essences.  Unlike tinctures or extracts,
the flower blooms are picked at dawn, placed in glass
containers with pure water, and asked to release their
“etheric” energies.  So it’s a subtle (read esoteric)
process rather than a traditional herbal science.

One wonders what The Iboga flower essence would be
like as an adjunct to post-treatment boosts!

Maybe one day green-thumbed Ibonauts will be
cultivating little bushes at their doorsteps, windows,
or fire escapes, watering and worshiping like many in
India do for the “sacred basil” or Tulsi plant.

Forgive me if this topic has been broached before, as
I am onlist only a month, but here is something I just
found (long link) on cultivating the plant:

http://www.shaman-australis.com.au/Website/Cultivation/Tabernantheiboga/TabernantheibogaCare.htm

Preston has mentioned “poppy” and I think he means
California Poppy, which is one of the FES essences
(from the Sierras) recommended for balancing those
“who seek spirituality outside of themselves” e.g.
through escapist intoxication.  But if you’ve ever
seen the flower, it’s a much smaller wildflower, light
orange, than the opium poppy.

With love from NYC,
Rachel

There is a poppy essense, but I think it’s pretty much opiate free. No more
opiates than say poppy seed bagles anyway.

Needles in the ‘New Normal’
With a War on Terror — or even a War on Terrorism — raging, who has time
to worry about dirty needles, heroin or the spread of AIDS?
by Tom Vannah – October 14, 2004
Between the Lines
If you’re against needle exchange, I hope it’s because you really don’t care
to help stop IV drug users from infecting themselves and others. Maybe you
feel ambivalent toward heroin addicts and their sexual partners. Maybe you
even dislike them. Great! If that’s why you’re against giving them clean
needles, at least you’re making sense. Just don’t be one of those
compassionate souls who claim to be against needle exchange because they
know of better ways to help drug addicts. Too many are dying already from
that kind of compassion.
Springfield, a city that has long had an alarming AIDS problem, traced in
part to transmission among IV users, will once again briefly consider and
eventually reject needle exchange. In fact, the Springfield Republican ‘s
Mike Plaisance recently fashioned a piece assuring his readers that the city
council is expected to stop the yet-to-be formally proposed needle exchange
program solidly when it comes up later in the year, with only three of nine
councilors likely to support the initiative. (Way to get ahead of the news
there, Mike.) Hardly news, it’s been the same thing for the last decade;
rejecting needle exchange is almost an annual event in Springfield.
Though needle exchange seems to be a particularly hot topic in
Springfield — consider the rise of Citizen’s Action Network, which activist
Karen Powell parlayed out of her earlier success with Citizens Against
Needle Exchange — the fact is, there are only four municipalities in the
entire state that have needle exchange programs, Boston, Cambridge,
Provincetown and Northampton. You’d think other cities and towns would
clamor to be in that kind of company, but for a variety of reasons, most
couched in expressions of deep concern for public health, none appear
remotely likely to give needle exchange a chance.
In fairness,Springfield deserves credit for at least raising the issue. City
Councilor Bud Williams plans to push it again this year. He’s a
garden-variety hack who rarely puts his shoulder into an issue, but it’s
still good of Williams to remind his colleagues that they have a viable way
to take action against the spread of AIDS. It’s unlikely that they’ll take
action, however, preferring instead to debate the efficacy of needle
exchange as if there were some other, better initiative available. For
example, City Councilor Tim Rooke opposes needle exchange because, to pick
up on recent comments to the Republican , a lot of addicts already have
AIDS, so clean needles won’t help them.
“It doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do,” Rooke said, as if proponents were
promising that clean needles cure AIDS rather than stop infected users from
spreading it to those yet to be infected.
Oh, well, Rooke is merely reflecting what he assumes are the prevailing
attitudes of his constituents. Sure, there are plenty of people in
Springfield with serious substance abuse problems. And when the problem is
booze or any one of the latest designer drugs — Vicodin and Oxycotin, to
name two — most people, probably even Rooke’s constituents, deal with it as
a medical problem. But street drugs are another thing, and IV users are
still a class unto themselves. These are users who’ve been scapegoated for
decades by politicians — many of them absolutely pickled — “waging a war
on drugs” and “getting tough on crime.” Tim Rooke seems like a caring guy
who harbors no real ill will toward IV drug addicts, but he also lacks the
gumption to work to change the minds of his constituents and make his city a
healthier, safer place.
Guys like Rooke are getting off easier nowadays, in what Fox News likes to
call the “new normal,” than they once did. In the pre-9/11 days, it was
common for public officials to talk regularly about health and safety, among
other matters of domestic policy. In waging his ridiculously overblown War
on Terror (ominous organ chords should ring out whenever someone speaks or
writes that silly phrase), President Bush has effectively buried a host of
important public concerns. The cost, in human terms, of drug addiction and
the spread of AIDS and other diseases presents a far greater immediate
threat to citizens of the United States than anything Saddam was doing in
Iraq. But we won’t be spending $87 billion to fight an infectious disease
anytime soon. Local pols like Rooke don’t have to worry about being called
out for ignoring sickness and suffering in Springfield when there’s a war
on.

Ex-drug addict urges recovery stories

He says they could help remove stigma
By Karen Kucher
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
October 15, 2004
Nurses and other professionals who have battled drug and alcohol problems –
or who have helped others overcome them – need to share their stories about
recovery with community leaders around the country to help remove the stigma
of addiction.

Advertisement

That was the marching order given to about 100 nurses in San Diego yesterday
by William C. Moyers, a substance-abuse treatment executive and a recovering
alcoholic and drug addict.
If more people would talk about recovering from substance abuse, that could
change public perceptions about addiction and help persuade lawmakers to
provide more resources for treatment, Moyers told members of the
International Nurses Society on Addiction.
“This is the only disease where we don’t see the recovery,” Moyers said.
“Because people go back like me to wearing ties and being invisible.”
Moyers, the son of TV journalist and documentary filmmaker Bill Moyers and a
former journalist himself, marked a decade of sobriety this week. Since
1996, he has been vice president of external affairs for the Hazelden
Foundation, a nonprofit organization that runs treatment centers in five
states.

Dear Randy,
In Feng Shui,(authentic Feng Shui) your spirit is yin and yang,and when you sleep,the yang part of
your spirit leaves your body at night to rejuvenate,communicate,or go to other plains.This is Chinese metaphysics.

At the moment,probably because of your Ibogaine treatment,you are more spiritually aware.
Maybe this is why you knew about Preston and V’s cat passing.Your Yang spirit was told whilst you slept.

Thankyou for your experiences.,and to you to Sean.

you’re not alone.

I keep dreaming of scoring and I always wake up JUST as I’m about to get my
hit 🙁 Its mental torture!

Keep on keeping on, thinking of you,

Hey List,
I’ve only been skimming through posts lately, not fully reading them as I
usually do – this is selfish on my part but I’m going to rant.  To you.
Because really I have no one else I know in person (in my current state of
affairs) who knows that the fuck I’m going though, even when expressed in
great and agonizing detail.  Warning: this may appear incoherent and
appear as if I’m rambling on.. it’s because I am.

I see a few people on list have been detoxing with with ibo – or whatever.
Congratulations to you all, that’s fucking awesome.
I do not have the fortune to obtain, eat, absorb, or otherwise ingest ibo,
so I cold turkeyed (boo hoo, poor n).  I haven’t used heroin/coke/crack in
42 days.  I give my success full credit due to my location.  I basically
isolated myself in a small town where I have loved ones.  There is
absolutely no heroin what so ever here.  Had I not came here I would have
continued to score day in day out like always.  I felt this was my only
option to really quit.  I think of this as a metaphysical exile from the
real world.  But in all actuality this is all too fucking real.  Like,
everything.  Including my sobriety.

Here, I can get crack/coke – but that wasn’t my real problem, it was more
like icing on the cake that is HEROIN.  Thus, staying away from coke/crack
wasn’t an issue.  I was a heavy user of all ov the above in San Francisco
and Phoenix – where (imo) is some of the top shit to score.

Now that I’m here 42 days into what I think is the rest of my life, I feel
like I’m living a fucking joke.  I’ve never been off heroin since I
started and everything that I associate myself with now, that I did on
heroin (ie, music, movies, books, smells, food, everythingintheworld,
etc..) brings back sharp stinging memories.  At first I went all Zen about
it and just blocked it out.  That was fine for the lesser part of 2 weeks.
Now, I am more so at a mental suffering point – if anything.  Physical
pain is there (always will for all I’m concerned), but not as intense.

But, I have this killer feeling that, without a doubt – when I leave this
place and get somewhere where there is dope, I will score.  No shit about
it.  Not because of the pain, or needing a fix, but lack of
*fillintheblank* in my life.

I quit cause I couldn’t afford the lifestyle associated with the habit.  I
didn’t want to stop.  I had to.  I was sick of crashing on the streets or
on drug dealers couches, not eating cause every dime I had went to dope,
getting my ass kicked by cops, fucking over people, stealing, lieing,
etcfuckingetc…  I was sick of falling asleep in fetal positions because
I was awake when all the food shelters were closed and had no food in my
stomach.  When I got here I weighed 125 lbs.  I didn’t realize how bad it
was until far too late.  I thought for sure I had some fucked up disease
that was destroying my physical body that I downloaded via the needle or
whatever.  It wasn’t hepatitis or aids or etc.. it was my habit.  The junk
in my veins was the only thing keeping me going.

And what about these dreams?  Every night I have a dream where I’m trying
to flee SF or PHX while trying to score.  I sit up in cold sweats
wondering what the fuck is the connotation with leaving the city and
scoring?  It means something — but who cares because now I’m awake and
feel sick.  No shit, I just woke up (3 am) and was dreaming about walking
around the Tenderloin with a broken ankle trying to cop.  Now I’m banging
my head against my keyboard.  Life in the sham lane.

Why would I want to go back to it?  What is the reason to want all the
torture and shit associated?  *Thinking about it* – Its not a masochistic
want, its more of a glutton like need.  Does that fucking make sense?  Am
I going fucking insane?

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?  (looks to the wise one(S))

Yeah yeah.. I see there is no point.  It’s either this, or that.  This is
what I have now, that is what I had then.  I’m a mother fucker who has to
decide one way or the other.  Another fine position I’ve stuck myself
into.  I wouldn’t expect less of me.

I answered myself in this post.  How about that?  I am fucking insane.

I still got love tho.
piece out brothers and sisters.

Hi all,
So yesterday V wrote a guy she knows through her bartending job about
the possibility of getting ahold of some promotional Gray Goose Vodka for
the book release party.
She got an email back today from the rep, stating in pertinent part
(btw, I didn’t know Gray Goose was a Bacardi brand until this reply):

Unfortunately, due to the subject matter of the book, it would not be in
the best interest of Bacardi to sponsor this event.<

“Not in the best interest of Bacardi…”
I’m laughing out loud here guys. I mean, the funniness of this cannot be
denied, what with Vodka having such a long and colorful history,
particularly as a drug of choice for abuse by degenerates and lowlifes (and
hoitytoity hypocritical jetsetting legislators and judges and other
prohibitionist-minded types too for that matter) over the years. I suppose
this rep is really being very honest, which I do appreciate, as currently
illicit drugs would be (and are for that matter) a major competitor with the
alcohol industries, which is why so many of the alcohol corporations support
anti-drug efforts with huge outlays of cash. Despite the hypocrisy and
willful prejudice inherent in such a stance by any alcohol maker, this is
very funny to me anyway. Why did I think they would do a promotional?
LOL, well, one glaring reason is because the second guy she contacted today
was more than willing to part with alcohol, so there will be some sort of
temperary openbar type deal at some point ealier in the party.
;-)))
Remember, as I added to the notice at DrugWar.com today, there will be
legal intoxication specials for RESPSONSIBLE use and abuse, so none of that
irresponsible, blame it on youth use and abuse happening here. Got it?
Unless of course you want to. Just keep in mind I have little patience
for outta control drunk people. Of all drugs effects, alcohol is one that
can and often does irritate me. Doesn’t that figure?

Peace and love,
Preston

Yeh and they can even create one specifically for your requirements.  My
boyfriend’s mum is experienced with Bach Flower Remedies and I’d love to ask
her to make one for me but she can’t know about my addiction.  She cleanses
my chakra’s and gives me a Yoga lesson sometimes.  She’s into all things
‘NewAgey’ (and I mean no disrespect) and is a walking advert for this
lifestyle.  She’s so sweet and gentle and always seems happy-people just
gravitate towards her!  When I was rattling and paranoid I used to be
terrified that she could see inside my soul and know all my terrible
secrets!

Oh, Randy & Ann, wouldn’t it be nice if one could run
out to the local space shop for a box of psilocybin
mushroom to put in that tea??? 🙂

I have no personal experience with dope w/d except for
getting a runny nose one time coming off of a course
of painkillers for a knee injury.  But if hot baths or
steams help, I’ll add that cranberry juice is also
very detoxifying for the system.  The straight 100%
kind, not cut with sweetener etc.  Just don’t know if
its too acidic for the post-Eye velvet body.

This is more newagey (I’ve already signalled my
interest in astrology previously) but I’ve also had
assistance at times from the Bach flower remedies —
subtle plant auras in the healing waters, their
essence rather than actual herbal tinctures.  Rescue
Remedy is a five-flower combination which helps with
stress.  You take a few drops in water or under the
tongue.  It is preserved in brandy, however, so some
abstinence-types might want to avoid the alcohol.
They usually have at the U.S. health food stores,
sometimes with larger selections of both Bach and the
FES brands, and I think are in the UK apothecaries
(developed in Britain).  Its especially good for the
person lending assistance to the sick one.

Here’s a New Zealand site about them,
http://www.nmessences.com/

And a larger online store,
http://www.essencesonline.com/

Depending on the soul lessons one is “trying” to
integrate, the help of flower devas can truly be a
blessing.

Dear Preston,

The trauma of losing a pet can be excruciatingly
painful.  Empathically, I feel your pain, and offer my
sincerest condolences.  As a ‘mother’ of 5 furry
‘children’, I can’t imagine the pain of losing one of
them.  They are unique little individuals, with their
own personalities and characteristics.

Rosie, Besita, Baby, Nancy and Monkey are members of
our family, with their own full rights and privileges.
Yes, they are spoiled, but god, I can’t imagine it
any other way.  I’m not ready to pop a kid out yet, so
pets are my surrogate children, and one of my life
pleasures.  Is it possibly to love a cat?
ABSOLUTELY…I have even seen my boyfriend knock a guy
flat on his ass for intentionally kicking Rosie while
walking on the sidewalk.  You know, a study recently
revealed that most serial murderers were known to
abuse animals when they were younger.  But, I
digress…

Once again, I wish to convey to you my deepest
sympathies on your loss.  Things will get better with
time…Please extend my condolences to V, and give her
a big hug…and oh, give your other kitties a big
forehead kiss from me!

love Julie

Hi Randy,

I agree that weed can be very healing after treatment. The first time I smoked after treatment, some old 12 step tapes went off, a drug is a drug is a drug. Weed=heroin.
But I got over that real fast.:)  I think it all part of the harm reduction for me. I have no desire for coke and H. That in itself is a miracle for me.  One thing, though. For me alcohol would be a mistake I believe. I would have a rig in my arm in no time.

Cheers!

Hi Preston, Im a cat person too, and reading your post about Haley touched my heart. I can watch people suffer at my job (nurse) but there is something about animals suffering that melts my heart. Im so sorry that your baby had to suffer, and Im sorry for your loss. My cat hurt herself this week too, thankfully it was an infection , shes real pissed off to be stuck inside while she heals. Cats offer such a treat in our lives, life is short! Youve got a candle here ,love shell

Preston Peet <ptpeet@nyc.rr.com> wrote:
Hi all, This is pretty off topic even though I do tie it in at one point
during this note:
One of our cats started to get sick a couple weeks ago, just not eating
actually but other than for that, and sleeping more in the back room, she
wasn’t otherwise showing any signs of outwardly plain illness. We took her
to the vet last week after she hadn’t hardly eaten anything for the whole
week, and she wound up getting five teeth pulled.
Having had my own massive amounts of toothwork done on myself recently,
and knowing how painful and even debilitating it was for me, I could only
imagine how bad it must have been for her, so when I saw her lying there
drooling I only thought it was tooth pulling pain. I never considered it
could be something worse.
But she didn’t show any signs of recovering all the past week since that
operation. She just lay there, not eating anything other than teeny licks of
baby food, off an offered spoon.
Sunday night as we went to sleep I told V we had to take Haley to the
vet in the morning for a followup, as I was becoming convinced finally that
something more was going on, that she wasn’t doing as well as she should be
after a week.
The next day V was asleep, having been at work ’til 5AM (bartending does
that to a schedule), so I was the only one awake. At around 10:30 or so, I
heard an unusual noise. After hearing it a few more times, I got up to
investigate, deciding quickly that it was something the workmen painting the
newly vacated apartment next door were doing. But walk back through the
kitchen and getting something to eat, I heard the sound again.
I looked down, and there was Haley, named for the comet due to her speed
and motion, lying on her side, obviously very, very, very sick and maybe
even already dead.
I dropped what I was eating onto the bar, and bent down to touch her,
saying her name aloud. She felt stiff and I again considered for a second
that she was dead, but she coughed again, showing me it was her making the
odd sound I’d been hearing.
I yanked her out of the box and woke up V, telling her we had to go to
the vet “Right Now!” V jumped up, grabbed Haley from me, and started to the
vet who did the toothwork.
V dropped her shoes away halfway there and started running with Haley
cradled in her arms, racing off ahead of crippled, cane-laden me. When I got
to the vet, I found out the vet wasn’t there, it being Columbus Day, and
only the assistant was there. Haley had died half-way to the office, her
little heart stopping along the way. Now her eyes were open and staring off
into space and her beautiful head was lolling as V held her and tried to
revive her.
The assistant told us about another vet a few blocks away, and off we
raced, grabbing a cab within half a block and reaching the second vet’s
office within 5 minutes or less of Haley’s heart stopping. V told the vets
to do everything they could to save her, and they did. (Damn vets are
expensive.) They gave her a number of shots of adrenaline-like chemicals, as
well as (the drug tie in) Ketamine and more, and they gave her emergency
liquids and put in a tube to help keep her breathing clear. She was
breathing on her own, and her heart was going by itself, but she was still
doing that weird staring into space without reacting whatsoever to us
touching her face around her eyes, not blinking at all nor showing any life
in them.
She held out for a couple of hours, struggling to come back, but she
just couldn’t do it. She was FIV, the kat version of HIV, and we suspect
that she either had a reaction to the anesthesia or there was an infection
resulting from the surgery, or something was being compounded by but was
already there and masked by the more obvious signs of tooth issues. She had
really strange overabundance of phlegm from her mouth and in her lungs, and
liquid was pouring from her eyes as well, and she basically was drowning
until she finally had a heart attack, and died. We couldn’t save her.
It has been a real shock. I know some people don’t treat animals on the
same level as people, but to V and I, they are our children. We do not ever
plan (knock on wood) on having human children, prefering to focus on the
more furry and more leggy kind of kids who also need homes. Haley was only
six, a young kat, and she was full of life until very recently. She would
literally kiss us on the lips, puckering up as much as a kat can, having
come to us as an incredibly tiny kitten.
I keep having feelings of guilt that I didn’t see she was so sick until
way too late. I know that I am not really at fault, but I can’t help the
feelings. I’m also feeling that horrible feeling of “It’s Not Fair,” which
is pointless but unavoidable right now. She was not sick so recently that
it’s got me numb every time I realize I can’t go in the back room and pet
her, hang out and play with strings and such with her.
Anyway, light a candle for her please, or whatever you may do in memory
and to wish well for those who’ve died.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Preston and V, I am so very sorry for your loss. The loss of a pet is just as devastating as the loos of a human friend.
You are going through your stages of grief Preston. I am sure that Haley was a very sick kitty and there was nothing less than divine intervention that could’ve saved her.
Teeth extraction is tougher on our 4 legged friends than it is for us. She may have had a systemic infection or heart damage due to infection of teeth.
The pet psychic may be able to soothe your feelings. She understands animals so well. I feel sure she would tell you Haley is enjoying the ‘otherside’ very much and that she thanks you and V for being great owners/parents!

Lighting  candle In NZ now for you, V & Haley.  9.15pm Thurs night our time.  Your message made me cry cos I love my animals so very much too.  I have a daughter, now 23 and living away from home with her boyfriend etc. .  Also have a 10 yr old black dog of mixed origins, a 5 month old labrador puppy and 3 cats.  All my cats just seem to appear and wander in.  I never got to chose them, its more like they just decided they would come and live with me.  Really feel for you losing one of your family.  Love Allison

Hi all, This is pretty off topic even though I do tie it in at one point
during this note:
One of our cats started to get sick a couple weeks ago, just not eating
actually but other than for that, and sleeping more in the back room, she
wasn’t otherwise showing any signs of outwardly plain illness. We took her
to the vet last week after she hadn’t hardly eaten anything for the whole
week, and she wound up getting five teeth pulled.
Having had my own massive amounts of toothwork done on myself recently,
and knowing how painful and even debilitating it was for me, I could only
imagine how bad it must have been for her, so when I saw her lying there
drooling I only thought it was tooth pulling pain. I never considered it
could be something worse.
But she didn’t show any signs of recovering all the past week since that
operation. She just lay there, not eating anything other than teeny licks of
baby food, off an offered spoon.
Sunday night as we went to sleep I told V we had to take Haley to the
vet in the morning for a followup, as I was becoming convinced finally that
something more was going on, that she wasn’t doing as well as she should be
after a week.
The next day V was asleep, having been at work ’til 5AM (bartending does
that to a schedule), so I was the only one awake. At around 10:30 or so, I
heard an unusual noise. After hearing it a few more times, I got up to
investigate, deciding quickly that it was something the workmen painting the
newly vacated apartment next door were doing. But walk back through the
kitchen and getting something to eat, I heard the sound again.
I looked down, and there was Haley, named for the comet due to her speed
and motion, lying on her side, obviously very, very, very sick and maybe
even already dead.
I dropped what I was eating onto the bar, and bent down to touch her,
saying her name aloud. She felt stiff and I again considered for a second
that she was dead, but she coughed again, showing me it was her making the
odd sound I’d been hearing.
I yanked her out of the box and woke up V, telling her we had to go to
the vet “Right Now!” V jumped up, grabbed Haley from me, and started to the
vet who did the toothwork.
V dropped her shoes away halfway there and started running with Haley
cradled in her arms, racing off ahead of crippled, cane-laden me. When I got
to the vet, I found out the vet wasn’t there, it being Columbus Day, and
only the assistant was there. Haley had died half-way to the office, her
little heart stopping along the way. Now her eyes were open and staring off
into space and her beautiful head was lolling as V held her and tried to
revive her.
The assistant told us about another vet a few blocks away, and off we
raced, grabbing a cab within half a block and reaching the second vet’s
office within 5 minutes or less of Haley’s heart stopping. V told the vets
to do everything they could to save her, and they did. (Damn vets are
expensive.) They gave her a number of shots of adrenaline-like chemicals, as
well as (the drug tie in) Ketamine and more, and they gave her emergency
liquids and put in a tube to help keep her breathing clear. She was
breathing on her own, and her heart was going by itself, but she was still
doing that weird staring into space without reacting whatsoever to us
touching her face around her eyes, not blinking at all nor showing any life
in them.
She held out for a couple of hours, struggling to come back, but she
just couldn’t do it. She was FIV, the kat version of HIV, and we suspect
that she either had a reaction to the anesthesia or there was an infection
resulting from the surgery, or something was being compounded by but was
already there and masked by the more obvious signs of tooth issues. She had
really strange overabundance of phlegm from her mouth and in her lungs, and
liquid was pouring from her eyes as well, and she basically was drowning
until she finally had a heart attack, and died. We couldn’t save her.
It has been a real shock. I know some people don’t treat animals on the
same level as people, but to V and I, they are our children. We do not ever
plan (knock on wood) on having human children, prefering to focus on the
more furry and more leggy kind of kids who also need homes. Haley was only
six, a young kat, and she was full of life until very recently. She would
literally kiss us on the lips, puckering up as much as a kat can, having
come to us as an incredibly tiny kitten.
I keep having feelings of guilt that I didn’t see she was so sick until
way too late. I know that I am not really at fault, but I can’t help the
feelings. I’m also feeling that horrible feeling of “It’s Not Fair,” which
is pointless but unavoidable right now. She was not sick so recently that
it’s got me numb every time I realize I can’t go in the back room and pet
her, hang out and play with strings and such with her.
Anyway, light a candle for her please, or whatever you may do in memory
and to wish well for those who’ve died.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Hi all,
I’d like to than Phil, and by extension Alex Burns for suggesting Phil
send me the information below. Looks to be a very interested DVD and so I
pass on the info to you all. I haven’t yet seen this, so I can’t say that is
is definitely “good” but it sure does intrigue me to be sure.
Anyone promoting the spirituality of pot, in today’s age of blue meanies
and anti-drug zealots gets my vote and kudos, not to mention whatever
support I can give.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Preston,

Alex Burns suggested I pass some of this to you…

In the wake of the Magick and Entheogens DVD release, there is now a
new interview with me posted on the Hawk Ridge website:

http://www.hawkridgeproductions.com/products/m&e1int.htm

AND… a ten minute preview from the DVD is now available for
viewing on Pot-TV:

http://www.pot-tv.net/archive/shows/pottvshowse-3087.html

Highest regards,
Phil Farber

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Philip H. Farber Creates DVD on uses of Spiritual Cannabis

That’s right, beyond Medical Marijuana lies the realm of Spiritual Cannabis.
With the use of hypnotic music, storytelling, psychedelic visuals, and
step-by-step instruction, author Philip H. Farber (FutureRitual: Magick for
the 21st Century, Eschaton Productions, Chicago, 1995) takes the viewer on a
mind-altering journey to the High Place, where cannabis becomes a key to
magick.

Learn how to get higher than ever – and achieve your life goals!

This is an entirely new and different concept in video: This is a studio
production (not a seminar video) that offers trance inducing words, music,
and psychedelic video… Beautiful to watch, trance-inducing to listen to,
and powerfully interactive. Phil offers five exercises in Cannabis Magick
that the viewer can follow, using both spoken instruction along with
on-screen graphics. This is a Trance Initiation into Spiritual Cannabis!

Magick and Entheogens, Vol. 1: Cannabis
with Philip H. Farber
DVD-Video – 1 hour 40 minutes, NTSC format

What makes this weed so magical?
Cannabis has been used throughout history for spiritual and occult purposes.
What modern authorities have declaimed as an evil scourge, and what most of
us consider a recreational substance, has served as the sacrament in dozens
of traditions. The greatest occultists of recent history often hailed the
herb as a secret key to making magick work. The mystics of the world have
used marijuana to open the doors of the soul.

• How to activate your body’s energy systems with smoke!
• How to turn up the intensity of your high, any time, at will!
• How to get really high with no herb!
• How to gain life-changing information from the plant!

If you have any interest in using hypnotic techniques to re-activate or
initiate altered states, in entheogens, in world traditions of spirituality,
in the techniques of shamanism… this DVD will be pure elixir!

Take a journey with the Great God Pan to the High Place, where cannabis and
ritual come together to inspire enlightening insights! Phil’s use of
Ericksonian Hypnosis and storytelling is enhanced with psychedelic video,
much of it based on the “Organic/Psychedelic” images of artist DJ Reese.

Also available: Companion audio (music-only) CD, featuring trance and
dance-inducing musical themes from the DVD. (About 60 minutes of music).

Philip H. Farber is the author of FUTURERITUAL: Magick for the 21st Century,
a manual of neurological exploration. His articles on magick and popular
culture   have appeared in High Times, Psychedelics ReImagined, Mondo 2000,
Green Egg   Magazine, The Journal of Hypnotism, Hypnosis Today, Paradigm
Shift, and other unique publications and web sites. Phil is a Certified
Hypnotherapist and a   Licensed Trainer of Neuro-linguistic Programming,
with a private practice in   New York.

Magick and Entheogens, Vol. 1: Cannabis is available from Hawk Ridge
Productions and from selected retail outlets. Purchase online at

Dear Folks:

Yeah, I’ve checked with the editor, and he says disseminate this notice far and wide.

So, you’re invited to an East Village book bash — no stuffy readings, buy the damn book and read it yourself once you repossess your faculties — to celebrate publication of Disinformation’s latest well-schooled rant: Under the Influence: The Disinformation Guide to Drugs. < http://www.disinfo.com/site/displayarticle6040.html >

That’s you and whatever emoluments you have at hand, Thursday, October 21, 9pm to 4am at swank-deluxe Uncle Ming’s, in the heart of it all at 225 Avenue B (that’s at 13th St. for you schmoes). Yeah, it’s free. The drinks ain’t, but they’re cheap.

Forget the modest number of immodest go-go dancers, the syncopation from renowned Slipper Room vinyl spinner, DJ Ness, the no-doubt dissolute air rubbing shoulders (let’s say) with strangers similarly possessed of a certain moral casualness. Come, rather, seeking proof of the cruelties, absurdities, malfeasance & propaganda promulgated by your government to prop up an ever shakier War on Some Drugs.

DisInfo and editor Preston Peet have corralled the top writers on drugs (verily) for a volume chockablock with the sort of truth-to-power rarely found between soft covers:

Libertarian big-foot Jacob Sullum, of the usually eponymous Reason magazine and author of Saying Yes: In Defense of Drug Use (Tarcher/Putnam); New York Press columnist, author and irasciblist Paul Krassner; Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism (Broadway Books); bona fide contemporary shaman, Rick Doblin, who’s actually buffaloed the feds into approving his investigations of post-trauma, therapeutic Ecstasy; and ex-Village Voice columnist, Cynthia Cotts.

Not to mention Ethan Nadelmann, avatar of the Drug Policy Alliance and many state drug-reform ballot initiatives; China Syndrome screenwriter, Mike Gray, whose seminal drug policy books include Drug Crazy (Random House); Lonny Shavelson, author of Hooked: Five Addicts Challenge our Misguided Drug Rehab System (The New Press); rock star and ex-High Timeser Steven Wishnia, author of Cannabis Companion (Running Press); our beloved editor, High Timeser Preston Peet, who also edits DrugWar.com; and Daniel Forbes, a feckless freelancer who engendered four congressional hearings and testified at two after revealing that the Clinton White House steered $22 million to the TV networks for government-approved anti-drug TV scripts and has perpetrated numerous stone-down-a-well scoops ever since. And many others too worthy to begin to try to encapsulate in an e-mail.

Bona fide scribblers: Review copies from Anne Sullivan, anne@disinfo.com.

Sounds like a nifty party. Looking forward to seeing you all there,
Dan Forbes

Thank you Sara and Jasen,
It’s nice to know at least two friends have heard it. Now, let’s hope a
whole bunch of folk who don’t know me heard it, found themselves questioning
the whole entire rationale behind the stupid, stinkin’ WOSDU, and get their
assess to the polls, or the barricades, or whereever it is they feel they
can effect some real, beneficial change for the betterment of us all.
;-))

For past interview listening, I also have one up at BlackOpRadio I did in
2002, a lot longer and more detailed interview. The one above is pretty
short actually, coming in at around 20-25 minutes or so. The BOR one is much
longer and gave me a chance to really delve into the whys and wherefore of
the WOSDU as opposed to the slightly less in depth but still fun and I think
interesting interview last night at the DrugTruth Network (Cultural
Baggage).

http://www.blackopradio.com/inc_archives2002.html
(Scroll down to show #87, my discussion lodged between two incredible
guests, Mike Ruppert and Doug Valentine, both also well worth listening to.)

Peace and love,
Preston

Get some kind of instrument and learn how to play. Anything, the harmonica or one of those wood flutes. find a cheap guitar, maybe a digeridooo, anything that floats your boat. Cheap bongo’s or……….

Hi Preston,

Glad it works for you orally.  Many drugs lose close to half their strength when taken orally rather than IV.  A lot of people LOVE morphine, shame I never really got high off on it.  They probably gave you a hell of a lot of it and you had opium dreams, very nice.  Damn, with what you went through you needed it.  I’m surprised they didn’t put that round thing that stops you from seeing what they are doing on you.  Glad you made it, sounds like you may of lost a fair amount of blood.  Losing, all that blood, the morphine and the shock and stress probably all worked together to help reduce the pain.  Too bad you have to be just about dead before they give you enough meds to get you high.

I never noticed a smell to it, but I never snorted it either.  However, when I would shoot it there would be an unmistakable rush, it would start right behind the neck and feel wonderful.

I have had IVs of Demerol and get a hospital taste in my mouth.

Best to ya,

– JIM

Jim, you’re speaking from a shooter’s perspective. Dilaudid works fine
orally, at least for me- one just has to wait about an hour. It’s not as
strong overall, and not as fast, but it certainly does work orally. Someone
also recently told me he “smells” dilaudid when he takes it, which I’d only
tried once while very ill a couple of years ago with not enough of them on
me and no rigs, trying to at least get “less sick” if I couldn’t get
“straight” – I didn’t notice it helping me at all to feel any better
whatsoever when sniffing one crushed into a fine powder that day so never
did it again, besides simply not entirely enjoying the sniffing of crushed
pills.
But to reiterate, dilaudid works fine orally for me.
Also, as an aside, when I first became acquainted with opiates, it was
by getting IV morphine after a car accident at 16, in Florida. I got very,
very high, and had some of the most incredible dreams of my life at that
time. While I was also very “high” from the extreme levels of pain, as well
as from the psychological stresses of seeing my stomach tearing open over
and over around the increasingly heavy stiching they kept restiching me up
with each time it happened, I did without a doubt get very high on the
morphine too.
Just sayin’.

Peace and love,
Preston

Subject: [Ibogaine] To Julie – I hope this might help you

Hi Julie,

From what I have read 10 mg of methadone equals “about” the same as 10 mg
of morphine. Of course you can see that methadone last much longer. Maybe
this chart will be able to help you figure out how much to take. Most
people, except for the government, know that anything is eaiser to kick that
methadone except for lamm which is otherwise known as long lasting methadone
(long chemican and scientific name).

It seems like you would need a fair amount just to break even. I have yet
to do ibo so I can’t say. However, as most eveyone on this list will say
methadone is the hardest to kick due to it’s long life. The shorter acting
narcotics would be eaiser to kick. However, I have seen other charts. In
fact one even said the half life of methadone was 4 hours and equal to 10 mg
of morphine. For some reason, I got pain relief from morphine but never
got high. Also, there is soemthing called bioavailability which has to do
with first pass. That is one reason why codeine seem to work so well, it
takes the system longer to break it down (has to do with the liver). In the
body it takes codeine and breaks it down into morphine. Thus 60 mg of
codeine (a Tylenol 4 tab) will break down into about 6 mg of morphine.
Dilaudid while wonderful to shoot would not be all that great if you took it
orally. ! ; I hope this chart helps you more than confuses you.

Of all the drugs on the chart I have done all but 2. I have found Fentanyl
the easiest to quit. If you could only find a decent doctor who will give
it to you for like 6 weeks you would be much better off. Of course, I’m not
a doc, just my experience. If you do, you find a decent doc you better have
insurance I believe they cost $20 per patch (Fentanyl comes in patches) but
I may be wrong about the price, however a patch is suppose to last for 3
days. It is more like two days. But I really do not suffer from w/d from
Fentanyl as with the others.

Also, I thought Buprenorphine had a longer half life. Oh well what do I
know.

Hope I helped,

– JIM

Relative Opioid Strengths
This page gives information on the generic and brand names of the major
opioids along with the relative strengths of the drugs when administered
intramuscularly and orally. Finally, the half-life of the drugs in the human
body are given.
“Generic” is the generic name of the drug and “Brand” is the brand name of
the drug. Often, a drug will be sold under more than one brand name; in this
case, the most common brand name was selected. “IM” is the number of
milligrams of the drug administered intramuscularly to be equivalent to 10
mg of morphine administered intramuscularly. “Oral” is the number of
milligrams of the drug administered orally to be equivalent to 10 mg of
morphine administered intramuscularly. “Half-life is the half-life of the
drug, measured in hours. This information is taken from The Little Book of
Opium.

Notes
Heroin metabolizes to morphine very quickly–with a half-life of roughly 3
minutes. The half-life of morphine is reported.
The most quoted figure for the half-life of Fentanyl is 2 hours. This seems
to be taken from the Drug Information Handbook. I have seen numbers as low
as 0.5 hours. The effective half-life of Fentanyl delivered through
transdermal and transmucosal systems is roughly 7 hours.
The 30 mg value is for the treatment of chronic pain, the 60 mg value is for
the treatment of acute pain.

Hello dear Julie,
You are a fortunate girl to be able to get your hands on morphine.
It usally takes about 6 weeks to clear most of the done out of your system.
I would pay just about anything to get my hands on a bunch of dialaudid,
or dia-morphine(synthetic heroin) to be able to get the done out of my
system
before getting my Ibogaine treatment.

It’s a pity our governments have such a hold on some of our understanding
non judging
good docters.Not allowing them to treat addiction in a way that works.

It would be good if you had a date to do the Ibogaine treatment a few days
before you were going to run
out of morphine.

Don’t inject the morphine in high doses,as you will get massive pins and
needles and
a headache(introvenus,that is).You could even black out.
I would suggest taking it orally,or if it is in ampule! s then in the
muscle,unless it is specificly for introvenus.
Also,make sure you have enough to hold you untill your treatment.

When do you plan on doing your treatment?
When you say,’I plan to do ANOTHER Ibo’ treatment”
Have you already had a treatment before?

Normally with morphine you would need a top up every
4 to 6 hours,I would suggest a small dose first then judge by that.
Remember that if you have muscle shots,you have to wait approx 20 to 30
mins to feel the full effect.

I cannot tell you what dose to take as that would be very irresponsible of
me,
as,..as you know I am not a docter,however if it was me,..and I was on
15mg(3ml)
of ‘done,I would take two ampules in the muscle and wait 30 mins to see if
this is enough or a little to much.
If they are tabs,I would take 60mg with a peice of toast and wait an hour.

PLEASE remember Julie,this is just me,get more advice,if possible, from a
NON anal docter,
yes,! there are some good ones around.Just like
firemen,electricians,mechanics,and so on,
we have the good and the bad,oh,…and the ugly (love clint eastwood).

Just make sure you have enough for six weeks,or untill at least you get to
your Ibogaine provider.

Everything I have said is my own PERSONAL opinion and experience.
Go girl.

Smiles, Jasen.

dear Jason, list –
thanks for kind words, personal expirences, etc..

you say i dunno, i say the same – all in due time.

N, to be honest, I didn’t think you’d make it this far,
you and me both brother .. . . it does help when old friends lock you in a
basement with a cable modem, bottle water, imodium ad and half a pound of
valium. untill the valium is gone, then its all uphill.

this will, like everything else, work itself out. or not. im not sure. i
can only be determined and have hope.
let there be no hope deficit.

i am no longer a victim of lesuire; i enjoy cold showers, razor burn,
wakeing up early and cold weather.  i am also known to be full of shit
and/or delirious when sober.
n

thanks again to all.

I’m not wise, but have seen a little, yeah, those dreams suck I guess.  I
actually preferred them as it took me out of sickland/jail for a while
(physical part [imagined or real] was hardest for me personally, but
mental reaction to endlessness of sick seems to be what gets most peeps.
You know your symbols better then me, but it sounds like your body wants
to get “well”, you are going against that by trying to take options of
availablility away, in a way a war among parts of self.

I think you are correct about the *fill in the blank* and I find this the
reason most get into 12 steps, for ‘fellowship’ and all because if you
aren’t feeling too social like meeting new people in a new town then yeah,
that would get lonely I guess.  Some use drug politics to band around,
some like hackers and sex robots etc : ), some find the right people fall
in place the more I find myself in action doing the right thing (I’m
obviouslly still learning this).
Case aNd point: moved to new part of city, more subwoof’s then normal, and
it didn’t take long for the local crack heads to know my name and
residence, which no offense to any on this list but umm, I don’t want that
anymore, but it does come ‘naturally’ by that it seems to be a familier
pattern that happens ‘on it’s own’, regardless if I use or not, I tend to
attract these type people, I wonder how I can be more flexible in that
regard.
Regardless of you take ibogaine, you are still going to be faced with the
same situation, but perhaps your understanding of it may be better
focused.
The thing is, noone can tell you what to fill in that blank with (assuming
you continue to want a blank to fill), what do you want?
Some use visualization, can you picture yourself healthy? focus it? what
needs to happen for that to happen?  Do I have the strength to get it
done?  If not, what are more realistic goals i.e. what are my natural
resourses etc.  Where do we go from here?

N, to be honest, I didn’t think you’d make it this far, it really is
amazing to see, my hats off to you no doubt.  I figured you’

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/10/12/bush_wireless_coaching/

Was Bush packing Wi-Fi in TV debate?
By Thomas C Greene (thomas.greene at theregister.co.uk)
Published Tuesday 12th October 2004 09:58燝MT

Opinion Wireless technology might explain why US President George W.
Bush performed better than usual in the last two presidential debates
with his opponent, Senator John Kerry.

Unless he’s reading a well-rehearsed speech, the President is normally
much given to malapropisms and incoherent syntax. When confronted with
questions for which he is not prepared, he typically muddles along
unintelligibly when starting a reply, until he finds a path to one of
his prepared talking points, as he repeatedly did during his televised
prime-time press conference of 13 April 2004. It is not unusual for him
to take refuge in his prepared points, regardless of what question is
asked, and his answers are often irrelevant as well as confused. That
is, he tends to stay “on message,” rather than “on topic”.

Yet, during both presidential debates, he miraculously spoke in clear,
organized sentences that were fairly relevant to the questions asked.
He stumbled only occasionally, and then only briefly. The public has
declared Kerry the winner of both debates – the first by a wide margin,
and the second by a narrow one – but it is undeniable that the
President far exceeded his baseline performance when confronting the
unexpected. Or, said another way, he may have looked bad in comparison
to Kerry, but he looked very good in comparison to himself.

Bush’s bulge

Interestingly, screen shots (http://cryptome.org/bush-bulge-28.jpg) of
the first debate, courtesy of Cryptome (http://cryptome.org/), show a
cigarette-pack-sized object positioned between Bush’s shoulders,
impressing itself on his suit jacket. A wire appears to run from the
object, up towards the President’s neck. This is best seen in the first
column, fourth picture, and in the second column, fourth picture.
(Note: The Register has not verified the authenticity of these images.
They appear to come from a C-SPAN feed, but we cannot vouch for that.)

The impression is consistent with common wireless gear
(http://www.comtek.com/IFBCueing/ifbcueing.html) used by public
speakers and entertainers, enabling a remote coach to offer prompts and
suggestions. Typically, a rig consists of a wireless radio transmitter
used by the coach, and a wireless transceiver used by the speaker. For
stealth, the transceiver is concealed under clothing, and connected to
a flexible wire device encircling the neck and worn under the shirt,
which generates a signal picked up by a wireless receiver within the
ear canal, much like a small hearing aid, and virtually invisible.

Additional evidence

The pictures might be suggestive, if not conclusive, but they are not
the only evidence suggesting that Bush enjoyed the benefit of a
wireless hookup. The very fact that he rarely stumbled or babbled
itself suggests that something extraordinary was afoot. And there were
a couple of moments in both debates where Bush’s behavior is best
explained by presuming a remote coach.

In the first debate, during a reply to Kerry, he ranted, “Let me
finish!” Oddly, neither his opponent, Senator Kerry, nor the moderator,
Jim Lehrer, was attempting to cut him off, and he had plenty of time
left on the clock. One explanation is that he was disoriented and
confused, as he often is without a script. But a somewhat better
explanation, in view of the pictures and his sudden debating
competence, is that he was addressing not his opponent or the
moderator, but a remote coach who had prompted him to move on to a
fresh topic before he was ready to do so.

In the second debate, Bush went off the rails, again in a way that
suggests remote coaching. According to the rules, each candidate
answers questions in turn. The one to whom the question is addressed
gets two minutes to reply, and his opponent gets ninety seconds to
rebut. At the moderator’s discretion, there may be a one-minute
extension, providing each candidate an additional thirty seconds on
each question.

At one point, when Bush had taken a question, and Kerry had delivered a
spirited rebuttal, moderator Charlie Gibson decided to extend the
session. But he had trouble getting the words out, as Bush leapt up and
leaned into his face, repeatedly demanding the very extension that
Gibson was attempting, without success, to offer him.

Kerry: “We’re gonna build alliances; we’re not gonna go unilaterally
[into war]; we’re not gonna go alone, like this President did.”

Gibson: “Mr. President, let’s extend for one minute…”

Bush: “Lemme just one question; I, I gotta answer this.”

Gibson: “Exactly, and with reservists being held on duty…”

Bush: “Let, let me just answer this, what he said about goin’ alone.”

Gibson: “Well, I wanted to get into the issue.”

Bush: “You tell Tony Blair we’re goin’ alone. Tell Tony Blair we’re
goin’ alone. Tell Servio Belisconi we’re goin’ alone…”

A fair reading of the scene would have Bush’s remote coach urging him
to respond at that moment, with enough vehemence to distract the
President from what was happening right before his eyes. “You’ve got to
respond to that – you can’t let it go. He’s insulting our allies,” we
can imagine the coach saying. And we can imagine Bush getting flustered
to the point that he failed to grasp what the moderator was trying to
tell him.

Detection

Technologically speaking, it would be painfully easy for Bush to have
received remote, wireless guidance during the debates. But whether he
would risk pulling such a cheesy stunt is less clear. Bush may be a
generous risk-taker when it comes to spilling other people’s blood in
Iraq, but when his own political career is at stake, he tends to play a
very cautious, conservative game. If the scam were ever exposed, he
would certainly lose votes that, in such a tight race, he knows he
can’t afford to squander. A mere pat on the back from Kerry after a
debate would suffice to reveal the game.

There are other ways, too. Surveillance specialist James Atkinson has
written a good generic description (http://cryptome.org/bush-bulge.htm)
of the wireless device that Bush would likely have been connected to,
along with a list of the radio frequencies that such devices typically
employ.

All that remains is for Kerry to pat Bush down during the next debate,
or for some enterprising geek to use Atkinson’s information to
intercept the President’s coaching session, and record it. In the
interest of public disclosure, we note that the final presidential
debate will be held on Wednesday, 13 October on the campus of Arizona
State University in Tempe, Arizona, at the Gammage Auditorium, located
on the northeast corner of Mill Avenue and Apache Boulevard.

Not that we’re suggesting anything.

That remins me, Sexual release. I’m down for that.I guess I have to quit playing my shy game. I have just started finding myself. Maybe I should try to find some kind of band to play in. Always helped before. I met one group here but they don’t play out much. I could probably change that. About all I could do is play harp but thats enough to hook ’em in. Anyway this is the other side old Ibogaine. I guess everone feels it a little different, It still rules.                  Randy

Hi Nruhtra,

Just thought I would say welcome.  I was surfing when I found this site, thank God I found it.  I have learned a lot about people as well as drugs; there are a lot of good people here and we help each other.  Considering we’re all junkies we take time out from our stealing, lying, manipulating, murdering and raping and help each other.  Even when you disagree with someone, you will find that people will each express their opinion in an intelligent and respectful manner.  A Jerry Springer you will not find.  If you have a question or problem most likely another has went through the exact same thing and will share how they solved their problem.  To me I find it very much a live and let live type of place.  Seldom do you find anyone putting any one down.  The many years of combinded experience plus very smart people make for a GREAT place.  I just wish I had time to read all the letters however all I can afford is a dial up.  It works, slow, but it works.  Just thought I would say welcome and give you a smile.

– JIM

ive ate 2ct7 and smoked some 5meodmt about 3 times each in the past 2
weeks. this didnt help the sickness, but advanced me mentally in a way
(as it had in the past with other situations). maybe just as a catalyst
to help my normal(?) thought processes to kick in. hard to explain but
kinda put my mind on track of the goal (focused on clean).
but post heroin – it seems all drugs ( and pot =( ) are dull. this is a
drag. but im working my way back to a stable relationship with marijuana.

ive been stretching since the begening of this process. i thought my
muscles and bones were deteriating. exercise has been a regular routine
for only a week (very minimal). and my monitor doesnt make me puke
anymore. that, and sexual release totaly takes the edge off.

not to offend anyone – but the first time i had sex post heroin i puked
all over (including on the girl) she was not impressed, nor i (however i
did share a laugh a week later about the situation at a support group). –
after that all i wanted was a hit – really bad. (btw – in the town im in
the “drug support group” i volenterally go to for whatever reasons has not
one person there for heroin. no one there has ever seen or done it. i
think 9 out of the 10 people there are for meth realated reasons.) they
think im full of shit half the time. i dont understand this.

and to answer you – and what i think Howard asked – i cant do ibo because
1. no money
2. bad location
3. couldnt travel right now (due to sickness) even if i wanted
4. cant recieve packages out of usa
5. once again – money is non existant as of right now. if i had to pay
back drug dealers in all 4 corners of the usa i would be in debt till like
2012 or whenever the earth decides to stop moving.

but i know for a fact – sometime, whenever – i will dose with ibo. no doubt.

thanks again for interest and kind words.

I’m not wise, but have seen a little, yeah, those dreams suck I guess.  I actually preferred them as it took me out of sickland/jail for a while (physical part [imagined or real] was hardest for me personally, but mental reaction to endlessness of sick seems to be what gets most peeps.  You know your symbols better then me, but it sounds like your body wants to get “well”, you are going against that by trying to take options of availablility away, in a way a war among parts of self.

I think you are correct about the *fill in the blank* and I find this the reason most get into 12 steps, for ‘fellowship’ and all because if you aren’t feeling too social like meeting new people in a new town then yeah, that would get lonely I guess.  Some use drug politics to band around, some like hackers and sex robots etc : ), some find the right people fall in place the more I find myself in action doing the right thing (I’m obviouslly still learning this).
Case aNd point: moved to new part of city, more subwoof’s then normal, and it didn’t take long for the local crack heads to know my name and residence, which no offense to any on this list but umm, I don’t want that anymore, but it does come ‘naturally’ by that it seems to be a familier pattern that happens ‘on it’s own’, regardless if I use or not, I tend to attract these type people, I wonder how I can be more flexible in that regard.
Regardless of you take ibogaine, you are still going to be faced with the same situation, but perhaps your understanding of it may be better focused.
The thing is, noone can tell you what to fill in that blank with (assuming you continue to want a blank to fill), what do you want?
Some use visualization, can you picture yourself healthy? focus it? what needs to happen for that to happen?  Do I have the strength to get it done?  If not, what are more realistic goals i.e. what are my natural resourses etc.  Where do we go from here?

N, to be honest, I didn’t think you’d make it this far, it really is amazing to see, my hats off to you no doubt.  I figured you’d find a way to connect after feeling ‘bored’ (how can you be bored when your heartbeats are limited?), Bored or Overwhelmed, no inbetween it seems.  I said I was bored in an NA meeting when I was a kid and that made them really pissed : ), “if you’re bored then you’re boring”.  Take what you need leave the rest.
What are the pro’s and con’s of ‘fellowship’.
As far as ‘take this, it will help’, in my limited experience, it never came close to my expectations because it was never opioid.  If I smoke herb thinking it will help reduce my withdrawal, how can that not lead to disappointment unless my exectations are realistic.  I did that with benzo’s real bad when I kick, funny thing about benzo’s…I cannot for the life of me figure out what the high of them feels like, I always blackout on them before I get to it, then do a quantum leep forward 72 hours and say “it’s really Thursday!! not Monday?” type shit.
So anyways, dose if you want, it may help.  but sometimes it is good just to move on or if you prefer grow up or if you prefer step up.
Hmm…I wonder why I’m attracted to ibogaine treatment.  I thought it would be like a one time methadone dose spiked with acid, can’t think how I got that impression.  I guess I wanted to be high and sober at the same time.
“Going zen” isn’t walking through it.  The only way around this shit is through.  Like the former Soviet’s rehabs say “water and bread is all that is needed” (I’d like to give that Doc her first few shots of tar)
I have been having a rough go of it lately too, so in a weird way, your ‘insanity’ helps, at least me.
So basically what I’m saying is: I dunno.

ototototototototototototototototototototototototototototototototototototototot
OT non-sense I was up writing this morning/last night, wasn’t intending to send but (what’s the definition of insanity again?)

With electronic typewriters to type birth number.
Where looks for hours at shoe
Of the same different.

Beyond access of intellect, where sex breathes thus life breeds.

Hey List,
I’ve only been skimming through posts lately, not fully reading them as I
usually do – this is selfish on my part but I’m going to rant. To you.
Because really I have no one else I know in person (in my current state of
affairs) who knows that the fuck I’m going though, even when expressed in
great and agonizing detail. Warning: this may appear incoherent and
appear as if I’m rambling on.. it’s because I am.

I see a few people on list have been detoxing with with ibo – or whatever.
Congratulations to you all, that’s fucking awesome.
I do not have the fortune to obtain, eat, absorb, or otherwise ingest ibo,
so I cold turkeyed (boo hoo, poor n). I haven’t used heroin/coke/crack in
42 days. I give my success full credit due to my location. I basically
isolated myself in a small town where I have loved ones. There is
absolutely no heroin what so ever here. Had I not came here I would have
continued to score day in day out like always. I felt this was my only
option to really quit. I think of this as a metaphysical exile from the
real world. But in all actuality this is all too fucking real. Like,
everything. Including my sobriety.

Here, I can get crack/coke – but that wasn’t my real problem, it was more
like icing on the cake that is HEROIN. Thus, staying away from coke/crack
wasn’t an issue. I was a heavy user of all ov the above in San Francisco
and Phoenix – where (imo) is some of the top shit to score.

Now that I’m here 42 days into what I think is the rest of my life, I feel
like I’m living a fucking joke. I’ve never been off heroin since I
started and everything that I associate myself with now, that I did on
heroin (ie, music, movies, books, smells, food, everythingintheworld,
etc..) brings back sharp stinging memories. At first I went all Zen about
it and just blocked it out. That was fine for the lesser part of 2 weeks.
Now, I am more so at a mental suffering point – if anything. Physical
pain is there (always will for all I’m concerned), but not as intense.

But, I have this killer feeling that, without a doubt – when I leave this
place and get somewhere where there is dope, I will score. No shit about
it. Not because of the pain, or needing a fix, but lack of
*fillintheblank* in my life.

I quit cause I couldn’t afford the lifestyle associated with the habit. I
didn’t want to stop. I had to. I was sick of crashing on the streets or
on drug dealers couches, not eating cause every dime I had went to dope,
getting my ass kicked by cops, fucking over people, stealing, lieing,
etcfuckingetc… I was sick of falling asleep in fetal positions because
I was awake when all the food shelters were closed and had no food in my
stomach. When I got here I weighed 125 lbs. I didn’t realize how bad it
was until far too late. I thought for sure I had some fucked up disease
that was destroying my physical body that I downloaded via the needle or
whatever. It wasn’t hepatitis or aids or etc.. it was my habit. The junk
in my veins was the only thing keeping me going.

And what about these dreams? Every night I have a dream where I’m trying
to flee SF or PHX while trying to score. I sit up in cold sweats
wondering what the fuck is the connotation with leaving the city and
scoring? It means something — but who cares because now I’m awake and
feel sick. No shit, I just woke up (3 am) and was dreaming about walking
around the Tenderloin with a broken ankle trying to cop. Now I’m banging
my head against my keyboard. Life in the sham lane.

Why would I want to go back to it? What is the reason to want all the
torture and shit associated? *Thinking about it* – Its not a masochistic
want, its more of a glutton like need. Does that fucking make sense? Am
I going fucking insane?

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT? (looks to the wise one(S))

Yeah yeah.. I see there is no point. It’s either this, or that. This is
what I have now, that is what I had then. I’m a mother fucker who has to
decide one way or the other. Another fine position I’ve stuck myself
into. I wouldn’t expect less of me.

I answered myself in this post. How about that? I am fucking insane.

I still got love tho.
piece out brothers and sisters.

HI Nruhtra,

Listen, don’t beat yourself up- you’re going through
what all of us junkies have been through before.  The
dreams used to kill me, too- it’s not bad enough that
EVERY WAKING MOMENT your body is screaming for dope,
but your subconscious has to get in on it too.. it
bloody sucks…

Why can’t you do some Ibogaine?  Do you have access to
weed?  I’ve found weed to be very therapeutic in
recovery- it kinda takes the edge off the discomfort.

Eventually, your brain chemicals are going to sort
themselves out, and you’ll start feeling better.  It
may not feel that way now, but trust me- the feeling
will come.  Keep yourself busy, and stay away from
triggers that will set you off.  This list is a great
support group- come here and rant all you want/need!

Oh, and eating chocolate-especially yummy Zero
bars-and taking supplements like 5-HTP, magnesium, and
vitamins B&C seemed to help somewhat, if only in
placebo effect.  And of course the obvious things like
light exercise/stretching, and sexual release, will
help quite a bit.

please take care; this too, shall pass…
Julie

HI Nruhtra,

Listen, don’t beat yourself up- you’re going through
what all of us junkies have been through before.  The
dreams used to kill me, too- it’s not bad enough that
EVERY WAKING MOMENT your body is screaming for dope,
but your subconscious has to get in on it too.. it
bloody sucks…

Why can’t you do some Ibogaine?  Do you have access to
weed?  I’ve found weed to be very therapeutic in
recovery- it kinda takes the edge off the discomfort.

Eventually, your brain chemicals are going to sort
themselves out, and you’ll start feeling better.  It
may not feel that way now, but trust me- the feeling
will come.  Keep yourself busy, and stay away from
triggers that will set you off.  This list is a great
support group- come here and rant all you want/need!

Oh, and eating chocolate-especially yummy Zero
bars-and taking supplements like 5-HTP, magnesium, and
vitamins B&C seemed to help somewhat, if only in
placebo effect.  And of course the obvious things like
light exercise/stretching, and sexual release, will
help quite a bit.

please take care; this too, shall pass…
Julie

I see a few people on list have been detoxing with with ibo – or whatever.

Congratulations to you all, that’s fucking awesome.

I do not have the fortune to obtain, eat, absorb, or otherwise ingest ibo,

so I cold turkeyed (boo hoo, poor n).  I haven’t used heroin/coke/crack in

42 days.  I give my success full credit due to my location.  I basically

isolated myself in a small town where I have loved ones.  There is

absolutely no heroin what so ever here.  Had I not came here I would have

continued to score day in day out like always.  I felt this was my only

option to really quit.  I think of this as a metaphysical exile from the

real world.  But in all actuality this is all too fucking real.  Like,

everything.  Including my sobriety.

Here, I can get crack/coke – but that wasn’t my real problem, it was more

like icing on the cake that is HEROIN.  Thus, staying away from coke/crack

wasn’t an issue.  I was a heavy user of all ov the above in San Francisco

and Phoenix – where (imo) is some of the top shit to score.

Now that I’m here 42 days into what I think is the rest of my life, I feel

like I’m living a fucking joke.  I’ve never been off heroin since I

started and everything that I associate myself with now, that I did on

heroin (ie, music, movies, books, smells, food, everythingintheworld,

etc..) brings back sharp stinging memories.  At first I went all Zen about

it and just blocked it out.  That was fine for the lesser part of 2 weeks.

Now, I am more so at a mental suffering point – if anything.  Physical

pain is there (always will for all I’m concerned), but not as intense.

But, I have this killer feeling that, without a doubt – when I leave this

place and get somewhere where there is dope, I will score.  No shit about

it.  Not because of the pain, or needing a fix, but lack of

*fillintheblank* in my life.

I quit cause I couldn’t afford the lifestyle associated with the habit.  I

didn’t want to stop.  I had to.  I was sick of crashing on the streets or

on drug dealers couches, not eating cause every dime I had went to dope,

getting my ass kicked by cops, fucking over people, stealing, lieing,

etcfuckingetc…  I was sick of falling asleep in fetal positions because

I was awake when all the food shelters were closed and had no food in my

stomach.  When I got here I weighed 125 lbs.  I didn’t realize how bad it

was until far too late.  I thought for sure I had some fucked up disease

that was destroying my physical body that I downloaded via the needle or

whatever.  It wasn’t hepatitis or aids or etc.. it was my habit.  The junk

in my veins was the only thing keeping me going.

And what about these dreams?  Every night I have a dream where I’m trying

to flee SF or PHX while trying to score.  I sit up in cold sweats

wondering what the fuck is the connotation with leaving the city and

scoring?  It means something — but who cares because now I’m awake and

feel sick.  No shit, I just woke up (3 am) and was dreaming about walking

around the Tenderloin with a broken ankle trying to cop.  Now I’m banging

my head against my keyboard.  Life in the sham lane.

Why would I want to go back to it?  What is the reason to want all the

torture and shit associated?  *Thinking about it* – Its not a masochistic

want, its more of a glutton like need.  Does that fucking make sense?  Am

I going fucking insane?

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?  (looks to the wise one(S))

Yeah yeah.. I see there is no point.  It’s either this, or that.  This is

what I have now, that is what I had then.  I’m a mother fucker who has to

decide one way or the other.  Another fine position I’ve stuck myself

into.  I wouldn’t expect less of me.

I answered myself in this post.  How about that?  I am fucking insane. >>

Actually that may be up for grabs as your actions did achieve the results you
desired.  That demonstrates reality not insanity.  And 42 days out is
something pretty impressive. Too bad you can’t get a dose of ibo know as it would
really make a difference.  You ought to contact the iboga therapy house in
vancouver and explain your situation.  http://www.ibogatherapyhouse.org as they may
opt to treat you at no cost which is what they do.  I am uncertain of your
location and they may only be treating canadians at this time but, am unsure of
that.

Back to basics.  IMO all of the issues you are experiencing are caused by an
underlying state of fear that ibogaine would significantly modify.  It is
often a state not seen or understood prior to ibogaine.

All that being said, I don’t quite understand you statement where you say,
you’ve “never been off heroin since I started…”  Are you 42 days without
heroin or not?  Just need some clarification.  Thanks.

Dilaudid while wonderful to shoot would not be all that great if you took
it orally. !<

Jim, you’re speaking from a shooter’s perspective. Dilaudid works fine
orally, at least for me- one just has to wait about an hour. It’s not as
strong overall, and not as fast, but it certainly does work orally. Someone
also recently told me he “smells” dilaudid when he takes it, which I’d only
tried once while very ill a couple of years ago with not enough of them on
me and no rigs, trying to at least get “less sick” if I couldn’t get
“straight” – I didn’t notice it helping me at all to feel any better
whatsoever when sniffing one crushed into a fine powder that day so never
did it again, besides simply not entirely enjoying the sniffing of crushed
pills.
But to reiterate, dilaudid works fine orally for me.
Also, as an aside, when I first became acquainted with opiates, it was
by getting IV morphine after a car accident at 16, in Florida. I got very,
very high, and had some of the most incredible dreams of my life at that
time. While I was also very “high” from the extreme levels of pain, as well
as from the psychological stresses of seeing my stomach tearing open over
and over around the increasingly heavy stiching they kept restiching me up
with each time it happened, I did without a doubt get very high on the
morphine too.
Just sayin’.

Peace and love,
Preston

Hi Julie,

From what I have read 10 mg of methadone equals “about”  the same as 10 mg
of morphine.  Of course you can see that methadone last much longer.  Maybe
this chart will be able to help you figure out how much to take.  Most
people, except for the government, know that anything is eaiser to kick that
methadone except for lamm which is otherwise known as long lasting methadone
(long chemican and scientific name).

It seems like you would need a fair amount just to break even.  I have yet
to do ibo so I can’t say.  However, as most eveyone on this list will say
methadone is the hardest to kick due to it’s long life.  The shorter acting
narcotics would be eaiser to kick.  However, I have seen other charts.  In
fact one even said the half life of methadone was 4 hours and equal to 10 mg
of morphine.   For some reason, I got pain relief from morphine but never
got high.  Also, there is soemthing called bioavailability which has to do
with first pass.  That is one reason why codeine seem to work so well, it
takes the system longer to break it down (has to do with the liver).  In the
body it takes codeine and breaks it down into morphine.  Thus 60 mg of
codeine (a Tylenol 4 tab) will break down into about 6 mg of morphine.
Dilaudid while wonderful to shoot would not be all that great if you took it
orally. ! ; I hope this chart helps you more than confuses you.

Of all the drugs on the chart I have done all but 2.  I have found Fentanyl
the easiest to quit.  If you could only find a decent doctor who will give
it to you for like 6 weeks you would be much better off.  Of course, I’m not
a doc, just my experience.  If you do, you find a decent doc you better have
insurance I believe they cost $20 per patch (Fentanyl comes in patches) but
I may be wrong about the price, however a patch is suppose to last for 3
days.  It is more like two days.  But I really do not suffer from w/d from
Fentanyl as with the others.

Also, I thought Buprenorphine had a longer half life.  Oh well what do I
know.

Hope I helped,

– JIM

Relative Opioid Strengths
This page gives information on the generic and brand names of the major
opioids along with the relative strengths of the drugs when administered
intramuscularly and orally. Finally, the half-life of the drugs in the human
body are given.
“Generic” is the generic name of the drug and “Brand” is the brand name of
the drug. Often, a drug will be sold under more than one brand name; in this
case, the most common brand name was selected. “IM” is the number of
milligrams of the drug administered intramuscularly to be equivalent to 10
mg of morphine administered intramuscularly. “Oral” is the number of
milligrams of the drug administered orally to be equivalent to 10 mg of
morphine administered intramuscularly. “Half-life is the half-life of the
drug, measured in hours. This information is taken from The Little Book of
Opium.

Notes
Heroin metabolizes to morphine very quickly–with a half-life of roughly 3
minutes. The half-life of morphine is reported.
The most quoted figure for the half-life of Fentanyl is 2 hours. This seems
to be taken from the Drug Information Handbook. I have seen numbers as low
as 0.5 hours. The effective half-life of Fentanyl delivered through
transdermal and transmucosal systems is roughly 7 hours.
The 30 mg value is for the treatment of chronic pain, the 60 mg value is for
the treatment of acute pain.

Hello dear Julie,
You are a fortunate girl to be able to get your hands on morphine.
It usally takes about 6 weeks to clear most of the done out of your system.
I would pay just about anything to get my hands on a bunch of dialaudid,
or dia-morphine(synthetic heroin) to be able to get the done out of my
system
before getting my Ibogaine treatment.

It’s a pity our governments have such a hold on some of our understanding
non judging
good docters.Not allowing them to treat addiction in a way that works.

It would be good if you had a date to do the Ibogaine treatment a few days
before you were going to run
out of morphine.

Don’t inject the morphine in high doses,as you will get massive pins and
needles and
a headache(introvenus,that is).You could even black out.
I would suggest taking it orally,or if it is in ampule! s then in the
muscle,unless it is specificly for introvenus.
Also,make sure you have enough to hold you untill your treatment.

When do you plan on doing your treatment?
When you say,’I plan to do ANOTHER Ibo’ treatment”
Have you already had a treatment before?

Normally with morphine you would need a top up every
4 to 6 hours,I would suggest a small dose first then judge by that.
Remember that if you have muscle shots,you have to wait approx 20 to 30
mins to feel the full effect.

I cannot tell you what dose to take as that would be very irresponsible of
me,
as,..as you know I am not a docter,however if it was me,..and I was on
15mg(3ml)
of ‘done,I would take two ampules in the muscle and wait 30 mins to see if
this is enough or a little to much.
If they are tabs,I would take 60mg with a peice of toast and wait an hour.

PLEASE remember Julie,this is just me,get more advice,if possible, from a
NON anal docter,
yes,! there are some good ones around.Just like
firemen,electricians,mechanics,and so on,
we have the good and the bad,oh,…and the ugly (love clint eastwood).

Just make sure you have enough for six weeks,or untill at least you get to
your Ibogaine provider.

Everything I have said is my own PERSONAL opinion and experience.
Go girl.

Smiles, Jasen.

Hi group,

Hope everyone is well. I managed to get my hands on a
bunch of morphine 15mg, and am planning on using them
to assist me in detoxing from methadone. I have never
done this before, so I’m wondering if anyone can make
a suggestion regarding doses, regimen, etc….

I have presently weened myself down to 15mg/day of
methadone; I want to give my body the chance to
excrete most of the methadone, whilst being fairly
comfortable in morphine-land. Would two weeks
generally be enough time to accomplish this?! I plan
to do another Ibo Journey after the meth has left my
system, as I think I have a better chance of detoxing
from morphine than meth.

Thanks, group…I feel privileged to have contact with
such an eclectic group of people…Y’all have a great
day, ya hear??

love Julie

Hey all, I know for me if I was to drink right now I would end up in an alcohol rehab somewhere where ever I was when I stopped. And they aint no tellin’ where that would be. I’m an alcoholic too. I can never forget that. So the Dr. gave me small Ativan tabs for sleep and so far it really helps. I told him to not give them to me next month that we would see. I have a great Dr. He wants to meet Frank or at least talk to him. I’m working on it. I think the more legitimate DR. s we have with us the better. This was just my first try. I have probably .. 5 more that are just as receptive. Not to mention the friends I have in Mental health. I know the Directors of both methadone clinics in Lex. KY, one is a very good friend of mine and the other I can’t wait to confront him about what he is doing to these people. That son of a bitch is pure drug dealer. He’s just in on it with Uncle Sam and in my eyes he is making things worse. I know the statutes in Lex. As long as I don’t block traffic I can walk around his clinic on all public sidewalks saying anything I want as long as its not offensive?????? Thats the kicker whats offensive? I’ll find out. I got cop friends down there too. A lot of them are my age and I did sports with some of them I think they would tell me the atmosphere and what not to say to really piss them off. Until I train all I can do is get the word out. I’m on it as we speak. After the Docs comes all the musicians I know. They need it too. Most of them should be able to afford it. They cut the money up a whole lot different in Nashville then they used too. I don’t know how many guys will actually want to stop but I will make them aware of the option. Shit I might get a real gig down there. Have harps and Ibogaine information will travel. Soon. Everybody wants me to wait a month. I’m already wanting to leave. But I will listen, I got a few things I need to do in the meantime. But I am drawing up my plan daily            Ibogane Rules                     Randy

Hi Jim,

I agree fully about alcohol. I have met some post ibo folk who are staying clean off H and coke but continue to drink. I think one’s relationship to alcohol may have something to do with it.  I have a long history of booze abuse, and I really feel for me alcohol will bring me back to crack and dope.

Anyway, thanks for the encouragement Jim. I have really appreciated getting to know you a bit on the list, and I always enjoy reading your posts.

Hi again list,

While I was fortunate to be on a drug holiday during treatment, many who get ibo tx who have HIV/AIDS will still be on meds. Is there anything I should tell such a person about ibo and the cocktail? Is it necessary to come off HIV cocktails during ibo tx? Any known interactions with any particular HIV drugs?

I know there is wide difference of opinion about HIV meds on this list.  I am really interested in being to answer these questions as I approach other addicts who have HIV.

Anyone who knows anything about the question of HIV drugs and ibo, help would be greatly appreciated.

For example, is there any study I can cite about the results of ibo with crystal addiction?  If not amphetamine studies in general could help. I know I have no desire for crack one week later, for example. Are there similar cases with Meth I can cite?

Any help would be appreciated.

Neither one of us is a NA, AA lover, but you got to admit that alcohol can lower you will to resist.  Get a little alcohol buzz and the next thing you REALLY want to get high.  Of all the people on this forum you are one who I have a great deal of respect for.  If you can do it and stay off I feel there is hope for me.  I got a hunch others feel the same way.   Your an inspiration to us all.  Oh if I only had the strength, willpower or whatever Sean has.

Keep it up, it seems that once a person has been using for many of years and they are past either 25 or 35 years they are VERY hard to get off.  The failure rate is Very high.  From what I have read even the best detox centers, NA or whatever only has a 10% chance.  Those are poor odds.  I hope to try some Ibo soon and hope to stay off for the rest of my life.  After 38 years you get tired of it.  Maybe, just maybe the Ibo will work, it has to, I am running out of time.  What started out as fun has for all practial purposes ruined my life.  Yea, you know the story.  I want to smoke a little weed now and then and take the meds my doc gives me.  That with maybe srooms 2 or 3 times a year.  Then I will consider my kick a success.  I am so tired of being a slave to drugs, so, so tired.

Best to ya Sean,

– JIM

Hi Randy,

I agree that weed can be very healing after treatment. The first time I smoked after treatment, some old 12 step tapes went off, a drug is a drug is a drug. Weed=heroin.
But I got over that real fast.:)  I think it all part of the harm reduction for me. I have no desire for coke and H. That in itself is a miracle for me.  One thing, though. For me alcohol would be a mistake I believe. I would have a rig in my arm in no time.

Cheers!

Hi Julie,
From what I have read 10 mg of methadone equals “about”  the same as 10 mg of morphine.  Of course you can see that methadone last much longer.  Maybe this chart will be able to help you figure out how much to take.  Most people, except for the government, know that anything is eaiser to kick that methadone except for lamm which is otherwise known as long lasting methadone (long chemican and scientific name).

It seems like you would need a fair amount just to break even.  I have yet to do ibo so I can’t say.  However, as most eveyone on this list will say methadone is the hardest to kick due to it’s long life.  The shorter acting narcotics would be eaiser to kick.  However, I have seen other charts.  In fact one even said the half life of methadone was 4 hours and equal to 10 mg of morphine.   For some reason, I got pain relief from morphine but never got high.  Also, there is soemthing called bioavailability which has to do with first pass.  That is one reason why codeine seem to work so well, it takes the system longer to break it down (has to do with the liver).  In the body it takes codeine and breaks it down into morphine.  Thus 60 mg of codeine (a Tylenol 4 tab) will break down into about 6 mg of morphine.  Dilaudid while wonderful to shoot would not be all that great if you took it orally.  I hope this chart helps you more than confuses you.

Of all the drugs on the chart I have done all but 2.  I have found Fentanyl the easiest to quit.  If you could only find a decent doctor who will give it to you for like 6 weeks you would be much better off.  Of course, I’m not a doc, just my experience.  If you do, you find a decent doc you better have insurance I believe they cost $20 per patch (Fentanyl comes in patches) but I may be wrong about the price, however a patch is suppose to last for 3 days.  It is more like two days.  But I really do not suffer from w/d from Fentanyl as with the others.

Also, I thought Buprenorphine had a longer half life.  Oh well what do I know.

Hope I helped,

Relative Opioid Strengths
This page gives information on the generic and brand names of the major opioids along with the relative strengths of the drugs when administered intramuscularly and orally. Finally, the half-life of the drugs in the human body are given.
“Generic” is the generic name of the drug and “Brand” is the brand name of the drug. Often, a drug will be sold under more than one brand name; in this case, the most common brand name was selected. “IM” is the number of milligrams of the drug administered intramuscularly to be equivalent to 10 mg of morphine administered intramuscularly. “Oral” is the number of milligrams of the drug administered orally to be equivalent to 10 mg of morphine administered intramuscularly. “Half-life is the half-life of the drug, measured in hours. This information is taken from The Little Book of Opium.

Notes
1. Heroin metabolizes to morphine very quickly–with a half-life of roughly 3 minutes. The half-life of morphine is reported.
2. The most quoted figure for the half-life of Fentanyl is 2 hours. This seems to be taken from the Drug Information Handbook. I have seen numbers as low as 0.5 hours. The effective half-life of Fentanyl delivered through transdermal and transmucosal systems is roughly 7 hours.
3. The 30 mg value is for the treatment of chronic pain, the 60 mg value is for the treatment of acute pain.

Hello dear Julie,
You are a fortunate girl to be able to get your hands on morphine.
It usally takes about 6 weeks to clear most of the done out of your system.
I would pay just about anything to get my hands on a bunch of dialaudid,
or dia-morphine(synthetic heroin) to be able to get the done out of my
system
before getting my Ibogaine treatment.

It’s a pity our governments have such a hold on some of our understanding
non judging
good docters.Not allowing them to treat addiction in a way that works.

It would be good if you had a date to do the Ibogaine treatment a few days
before you were going to run
out of morphine.

Don’t inject the morphine in high doses,as you will get massive pins and
needles and
a headache(introvenus,that is).You could even black out.
I would suggest taking it orally,or if it is in ampules then in the
muscle,unless it is specificly for introvenus.
Also,make sure you have enough to hold you untill your treatment.

When do you plan on doing your treatment?
When you say,’I plan to do ANOTHER Ibo’ treatment”
Have you already had a treatment before?

Normally with morphine you would need a top up every
4 to 6 hours,I would suggest a small dose first then judge by that.
Remember that if you have muscle shots,you have to wait approx 20 to 30
mins to feel the full effect.

I cannot tell you what dose to take as that would be very irresponsible of
me,
as,..as you know I am not a docter,however if it was me,..and I was on
15mg(3ml)
of ‘done,I would take two ampules in the muscle and wait 30 mins to see if
this is enough or a little to much.
If they are tabs,I would take 60mg with a peice of toast and wait an hour.

PLEASE remember Julie,this is just me,get more advice,if possible, from a
NON anal docter,
yes,there are some good ones around.Just like
firemen,electricians,mechanics,and so on,
we have the good and the bad,oh,…and the ugly (love clint eastwood).

Just make sure you have enough for six weeks,or untill at least you get to
your Ibogaine provider.

Everything I have said is my own PERSONAL opinion and experience.
Go girl.

Smiles, Jasen.

I agree that alcohol can lead to ‘less productive places’ and I also think that if on a methadone script, alcohol ; beer ,cider, wine and spirits can be very appealing and addictive , many people use the methadone,weed and alcohol/benzo program to compensate for Heroin use which can be expensive and…well, short acting and destructive. There’s often a clear contempt for alcohol use/abuse by many opiate uses but very often the 2 go hand in hand and in the ‘right’ proportions are a very addictive (and juicy) combination. I completely agree with alcohol being a CNS depressant with similarities to opiates and triggering the (re)use of opiates if taken in withdrawal or post withdrawal, but cross medication of this type is hugely popular and I wonder how many people with these tastes have tried Ibogaine and what the results were for such a combination of drugs – is aftercare a major factor in this case and if so, what type of aftercare for real cross medication ? ………..Jonny.

What did your doc give you for sleep? Be careful with that shit even if its just ambien or something mild. You really aren’t supposed to be getting much sleep these days but I hear you about the tossing and turning. I was getting an hour or two at best for the first week or two and it gradually got better but the one thing that helped me was not fighting it. If you can’t sleep go outside and chill out and look up at the stars or listen to music. Its not easy at times but it does get easier.
Anyway I’m starting a movie so let me go but call me tonight and I’ll help you figure out the logistics of your trip.
Look forward to hearin from you and I’m so glad I could help. – M.

Hello all. Been quite a while since I posted, now that my lap top is in storage, but I’m still reading as much as I can and I love to see how this list continues to grow.
Sorry if I’m being redundant, but I had my share of residual withdrawals post Ibo and that first couple of weeks can be extremely tough… especially for methadone. I’m just beginning to feel about right 2 and a half months out. Chills and aches and pains and funny sweating were a part of my daily routine for weeks after, but the big difference was in spite of all of that, the noise in my head was gone, or that mental battle I had with myself for all those years was no longer keeping me prisoner. I had resolve this time and I was willing to go though whatever I had to because I knew it was only going to get better and it did and continues to. Things haven’t been easy. I lost my job after getting back to NY, I lost my apartment, and I have never been so broke in my life. I’ve had my ass kicked by a bad parasitic infection which I picked up during my session and I’m only just starting to get over that in the past couple of days. but through all of it I have held onto one thing and that is that as long as I let the process continue to work no matter how difficult and uncomfortable things might be at times my life is only going to get better and all of these things will work themselves out. In my opinion, you have to have a strong desire to change going into this process or it just wont work.
Randy – keep on keepin on. I’m so glad everything worked out the way it did I only wished I had been able to meet you. Soon I’m sure. -M.

Bingo. I think you’re totally correct, that once we’re through the pain of
withdrawals, we still have to deal with everything that lead us to
self-medicate in the first place, irregardless of any other consideration-
and this often leads many to relapse.

Peace and love and postive thoughts your way Otter,

My daugher came off of 100mg. methadone with ibo, she had a few bad days but
was able to handle it. she told me that about 90 percent of the withdrawal
was gone. Very effective, getting off of methadone in one day,
The problem, in my opinion, is not the physical withdrawal but the emotional
one. After a year and about 6 relapses, she is probably going back on
methadone again. It seems to be the only way she can handle her depression,
anxiety, and ADHD. In spite of medications. The last i heard, she was at a
shelter after getting out of detox. no beds available for treatment. She
had been thru ibo tx a year ago, got off of methadone, but has relapsed
about every 3 mos. since. (mostly on benzos, but I think now back on H. so
she was talking about going back on methadone after her latest detox.
The prioblem is not the physicaldetox but the emotional addicton.
Ann please help me. After 10 years of this i am in so much pain I am
drinking too much and tempted to go on opiates myself, just to kill the
pain.
Peace and thanks for this list,

O yea, I heard tell of a guy coming off of about 300 mg.s From my experience
it doesn’t really matter too much the dose. Its the will to deal with little
twinges of withdrawal that counts. Ibogaine will take care of just about
anything that comes up, but methadone being so long acting is the only thing
that doesn’t get killed completely. I read data for a year before I did this
and never ever did I see an account of Ibogaine not working no matter what
the dose. Randy

Dear Otter,

If methadone is the key for her health and happiness,
then she should be allowed to stabilize on it for as
long as she wants/needs.  Opiates are very old,
time-tested anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety agents.

I agree with you, Otter…Physical withdrawal is only
the tip of the iceberg.  As I’m on meth right now, I’m
not sure I’m qualified to talk about detox
success…BUT, keeping busy, exercising, sexual
release and seeing friends all factor largely into the
post-acute depression equation, and have been crucial
to my success in the past.

However, IMHO, wanting to change your life is the most
important factor of all, cuz without the desire, the
rest of the infrastructure can crumble altogether too
soon.

I wish you and your daughter the best of success with
your adversities…take care!

love Julie

Dear Randy and Sean,

I would have to agree with you about the weed/booze
paradigm: weed seems to promote relaxation, appetite
and sleep, while booze (for me, at least) tends to
lead to other, less productive places.  Maybe it’s
because alcohol, like opiates, are CNS depressants,
and using a CNS depr. triggers body-memories of
opiates..?

Thanks everyone,

Thanks for the good advice.  Yes Jasen, I have done
Ibogaine before, but the results were less than
satisfactory, and it was TOTALLY MY FAULT.  I vomited
most of my dose, and did not have a booster, as I
thought I was impervious to puking.  How wrong I was!

I would NEVER inject time-release morphine; rather, I
just chew them.  I DON’T want to feel a buzz from the
morphine, I would just rather NOT feel methadone
withdrawal.

I am to be treated again in about 3 weeks.  I’m doing
it right this time- I have saved up a bit of money,
and will be treated by Andrea here in Toronto.  She
treated a friend of mine, who is still clean almost
2.5/3 months later.

Lots of love,
Julie

Hi Otter,

You have to take care of yourself first to show your daughter the way.
Other than that, do what you can and pray.

O yea, I heard tell of a guy coming off of about 300 mg.s From
my experience
it doesn’t really matter too much the dose. Its the will to deal
with little
twinges of withdrawal that counts. Ibogaine will take care of
just about
anything that comes up, but methadone being so long acting is
the only thing
that doesn’t get killed completely. I read data for a year before
I did this and
never ever did I see an account of Ibogaine not working no matter
what the
dose.         Randy

Hi Otter,

I am sorry you are in so much pain right now, but am glad you are posting on a list where you can vent. I couldn’t help but think form reading your post that maybe your daughter could use a string aftercare plan after ibo TX. I know that the first time out I did not plan well enough how I would deal with life afterwards, and I relapsed very quickly.

This time I am in therapy, attend a post ibo support group, and am meeting a whole new group of friends in NY who support me to the fullest in effort to not go back to the coke/crack and H.  I think that a new support system is essential at the very least. Some found 12 step groups very helpful for this. I mean post ibo support like we have in NYC right now is very rare. Someone can back for Mexico for example and network with a whole community of ibonaoughts.

Anyway, please keep posting.

Sean

The prioblem is not the physicaldetox but the emotional addicton.<

Bingo. I think you’re totally correct, that once we’re through the pain of
withdrawals, we still have to deal with everything that lead us to
self-medicate in the first place, irregardless of any other consideration-
and this often leads many to relapse.

Peace and love and postive thoughts your way Otter,
Preston

Hi Randy,

I agree that weed can be very healing after treatment. The first time I smoked after treatment, some old 12 step tapes went off, a drug is a drug is a drug. Weed=heroin.
But I got over that real fast.:)  I think it all part of the harm reduction for me. I have no desire for coke and H. That in itself is a miracle for me.  One thing, though. For me alcohol would be a mistake I believe. I would have a rig in my arm in no time.

Cheers!

Hello dear Julie,
You are a fortunate girl to be able to get your hands on morphine.
It usally takes about 6 weeks to clear most of the done out of your system.
I would pay just about anything to get my hands on a bunch of dialaudid,
or dia-morphine(synthetic heroin) to be able to get the done out of my
system
before getting my Ibogaine treatment.

It’s a pity our governments have such a hold on some of our understanding
non judging
good docters.Not allowing them to treat addiction in a way that works.

It would be good if you had a date to do the Ibogaine treatment a few days
before you were going to run
out of morphine.

Don’t inject the morphine in high doses,as you will get massive pins and
needles and
a headache(introvenus,that is).You could even black out.
I would suggest taking it orally,or if it is in ampules then in the
muscle,unless it is specificly for introvenus.
Also,make sure you have enough to hold you untill your treatment.

When do you plan on doing your treatment?
When you say,’I plan to do ANOTHER Ibo’ treatment”
Have you already had a treatment before?

Normally with morphine you would need a top up every
4 to 6 hours,I would suggest a small dose first then judge by that.
Remember that if you have muscle shots,you have to wait approx 20 to 30
mins to feel the full effect.

I cannot tell you what dose to take as that would be very irresponsible of
me,
as,..as you know I am not a docter,however if it was me,..and I was on
15mg(3ml)
of ‘done,I would take two ampules in the muscle and wait 30 mins to see if
this is enough or a little to much.
If they are tabs,I would take 60mg with a peice of toast and wait an hour.

PLEASE remember Julie,this is just me,get more advice,if possible, from a
NON anal docter,
yes,there are some good ones around.Just like
firemen,electricians,mechanics,and so on,
we have the good and the bad,oh,…and the ugly (love clint eastwood).

Just make sure you have enough for six weeks,or untill at least you get to
your Ibogaine provider.

Everything I have said is my own PERSONAL opinion and experience.
Go girl.

Smiles, Jasen.

Hi group,

Hope everyone is well.  I managed to get my hands on a
bunch of morphine 15mg, and am planning on using them
to assist me in detoxing from methadone.  I have never
done this before, so I’m wondering if anyone can make
a suggestion regarding doses, regimen, etc….

I have presently weened myself down to 15mg/day of
methadone; I want to give my body the chance to
excrete most of the methadone, whilst being fairly
comfortable in morphine-land.  Would two weeks
generally be enough time to accomplish this?  I plan
to do another Ibo Journey after the meth has left my
system, as I think I have a better chance of detoxing
from morphine than meth.

Thanks, group…I feel privileged to have contact with
such an eclectic group of people…Y’all have a great
day, ya hear??

love Julie

Hi Marcus,
It’s called Rescue Remedy from Bach Flower Essenses (which as noted do
have teeny amounts of alcohol but very teeny and the cats don’t seem to
mind). It’s the same stuff we’ve been discussing I think. There’s only one
called Rescue Remedy that I know of, and that’s the one that seems to really
mellow out our cats, turning them into purring balls of love.

Peace and love,
Preston

Hi Sara…

That’s true; the Remedies are very subtle, and like
all homeopathics, work “better” on clearer fields.

I do think some of the ‘sturdier’ plant medicines can
come through the haze, ‘tho, if only anecdotally
because Jeff will sometimes take a bottle I make up
for him for 10 or 12 days, and then suddenly “give up”
before the healing catharsis because its rattling him
on a vibrational level.  That’s behind 50-60 mgs
methadone.  So yarrow, for example, which can be a
psychic shield against the external world’s
“influences” is helpful.

Hi Yall,and congratulations to he recent ibonauts trip! I havent posted in a little bit, but i read daily. When I last wrote i was slipping off & on, whats really weird is that Im not really craving much even as a consequence of a little chipping, last nite an old “friend” called & offered me some , but i said no thanks!-unbelievable! Seems that even though Im past the nor-ibogaine phase Im not interested in jumping on the addiction train again. I am however wanting to do ibogaine again for spiritual growth. Such amazing soul growth has occured due to my 3  voyages- for instance I started acupuncture school & graduated this past Wednesday!!!!! IVe made a new circle of friends that love me unconditionally,been to my home when I was first exploring drugs during the hippy era twice- BERMUDA  and Im leaving this  next Sunday for my thir trip.Gonna find out if its illegal there, I have many friends who have habits there.Anyways yall are my inspiration & entertainment ,I appreciate everyone & am grateful to be a part of this great voyage-Shell

Hi Sara…

That’s true; the Remedies are very subtle, and like
all homeopathics, work “better” on clearer fields.

I do think some of the ‘sturdier’ plant medicines can
come through the haze, ‘tho, if only anecdotally
because Jeff will sometimes take a bottle I make up
for him for 10 or 12 days, and then suddenly “give up”
before the healing catharsis because its rattling him
on a vibrational level.  That’s behind 50-60 mgs
methadone.  So yarrow, for example, which can be a
psychic shield against the external world’s
“influences” is helpful.

On the left-handed path, Preston, I took that from a
DrugWar article you wrote back in August

http://www.drugwar.com/pkickingdrugswithdrugs.shtm

with love,
Rachel

Date: October 10, 2004 at 11:20:14 AM EDT
To: ibogaine@mindvox.com
Reply-To: ibogaine@mindvox.com

Hi group,

Hope everyone is well.  I managed to get my hands on a
bunch of morphine 15mg, and am planning on using them
to assist me in detoxing from methadone.  I have never
done this before, so I’m wondering if anyone can make
a suggestion regarding doses, regimen, etc….

I have presently weened myself down to 15mg/day of
methadone; I want to give my body the chance to
excrete most of the methadone, whilst being fairly
comfortable in morphine-land.  Would two weeks
generally be enough time to accomplish this?  I plan
to do another Ibo Journey after the meth has left my
system, as I think I have a better chance of detoxing
from morphine than meth.

Thanks, group…I feel privileged to have contact with
such an eclectic group of people…Y’all have a great
day, ya hear??

love Julie

On the other hand, of course, I’ve met some folks in
12-Step moods that think any dosing — including lots
of vitamin C or whatever to “support detox” is too
much within the paradigm of pill-popping — but this
is the left handed school, eh Preston?<

Eh? Wha? Huh? Youse talkin to me? Left handed sumpin? I’m right handed Darn
it- which makes taking this left hand path ever so much more an adventure.
;-))
Seriously, V’s also told me about Poppy Essense, which is supposed to be
specifically for those people, like us, who might be thinking about
withdrawals and how to combat them effectively.
But Sara, you’re right, I’ve never really noticed them having any effect on
me whatsoever, but I’ve watched my cats turn from spitting, scratching,
growling berserkers into cute, cuddly, purring furballs of love with just a
drop or two or Rescue Remedy.

Peace and love,

Hi Ann, and others into the Remedies,

I don’t think the Bach company itself makes
non-alcohol based essences.  Some local practitioners
may use glycerin or vinegar based preservatives.  The
big FES out in California may make special orders,
http://www.fesflowers.com/index.htm

I want to emphasize that the amount of alcohol
preserving the essences is very small – about 5% – and
for dosing you can take the drops in a larger glass of
water to dilute even further, so one doesn’t get a
“triggering” taste of the brandy by taking them
sublingually.  I just mentioned it as a caution since
we are talking about addiction dynamics.  And, I
guess, sensitivity.

On the other hand, of course, I’ve met some folks in
12-Step moods that think any dosing — including lots

Whatever antioxidants do is, I think, the chemistry of
cranberry juicing.

Here’s a description of Recue Remedy — I remembered
that you sometims CAN buy this formula in a cream to
apply instead, say to aching muscles or something:

“As for the Rescue RemedyT, it is a mix of five
remedies – Rock Rose for terror, Clematis for
light-headedness, Impatiens for agitation, Cherry Plum
for loss of self-control and Star of Bethlehem for
shock. Dr Bach selected these five remedies because he
felt there would be at least something in the mix that
would help anyone going through a crisis. To take it
you simply put four drops in a glass of water and sip
as required – and in an emergency, if there is no
water available, you can put the drops straight on the
tongue or rub them on the pulse points. Common uses
for Rescue RemedyT include calming down the victims of
accidents and combatting pre-operation nerves. Many
midwives use them to help mothers through labour.”

Hi RACHEL,

I use Bach remedies for many years now with my kids, I have found that most
People who use drugs are not sensitive enough to it, they say they don’t
feel it. I curious to know if post Ibogaine can change the level of
sensitivity, I’m sure about it but have no prove.
Anyway today I will have the Iboga homeopathic remedy in three different
strength, I will be using it with the next patient, who will be coming of
130 mg of Methadone.

hello francesco!!! Sorry I haven’t said hello in a
while but as many people know things have been a bit
crazy.. still plugging along and getting everything
right as I need it… but not a minute sooner ;o). My
reality isn’t at all what I expected and its been a
bumpy ride to say the least but I really feel like its
all workin out exactly the way its supposed to. As
trying as things have gotten I can’t stop feeling
grateful in some way. that just never seems to leave
me for a minute. I have faith that as long as I don’t
do anything thats going to jeopardize the main goal at
hand everything else is gonna come.
Not sure how long I’m stayin here in NY but I start
back to work this week and then after I’m back to some
kind of normalcy I’ll take it from there. Just letting
the process continue to work and having faith that it
will all continue to work out as its supposed to.
Hope all is well and thanks for being here and making
me  such a part of everything.
I’m so excited to see how this list has evolved over
the past 6 months. Thanks to all who keep it going on
a daily basis.
Love to all -Mark

Hi list,

Six days later, still no desire for crack or heroin.
I am very plugged into the ibo community, and that is
helping a lot to fill my time now that I am not
running around seeking out drugs and using them.  Got
a phone call today form a friend on the West Coast who
is writing a book on ibogaine experience and could use
some assistance.

Our conversations mostly revolved around the fact
there is more to ibogaine that simply raw numbers of
who stays clean and who relapses. There is why certain
people will seek ibogaine as opposed to other
treatments. What are the expectations?
There is the pscho/spirtual piece, there is the ibo
journey itself, what finds out about themselves or
doesn’t.  What is different afterwards? Even for those
who do use again, has their been harm reduction..does
knowing that there is a way to kick without so much
suffering give hope that they can….

Anyway, just throwing this out. If any of the above
gives you food for thought drop please post it. As for
me, I am still in post ibo glow. The world looks so
beautiful and new. I am so calm and peaceful today.
Life without craving is truly beautiful.

To all struggling hang in. If I got one really strong
message from my trip, it is that everything passes,
everything passes.

Peace,
Sean

Hi Jim,

It’s very good to hear from you. I’m always on line for this forum but I prefer stay silent because of language problem.

I like to talk very detailed with nuances in my mother language but I can’t say whatever I want in English as I want and so I prefer stay silent many of the times.

I wish I could start same kind of forum in Turkish because there is so many people that who need to know about Iboga treatment here in Turkey. Consuming of Oppiates increasing rapidly but our Islamic goverment don’t want to see this problem. (I hate them)

But first I have to solve my own addiction problem. If I could do (I’m sure I’ll do) this then  I want to help others.

What about you? Are you OK? please write me about you. I think we have to talk more.

Hi Fakeplacebo,

Well, a friend said he would be traveling to a county where he can get it.  I can do it at his house in Canada.  Sould be in a couple of weeks.  I really do not have that much of a habit, but too much of one to cold turkey.  Cold turkey will not work because I can not take the pain and suffering and when it is over I still have cravings.  I was in detox once and was using the in one week after getting out.

From what I hear the stuff in Turkey is STRONG.  Even a two dollar habit can be a hell of a lot.  Many of my friends said they loved the stuff in Vietnam.  Like 5 guys would put in a dollar and have enough to last a long time.  Problem is if you doing two dollars a day in Vietnam you have about $25 to $ 50 dollars here.  A guy in Kroea bough about 1/2 pound of weed for 2 or 3 dollars.

From what I understand, and could be wrong, the rectal dose is the same as the oral dose only it takes longer to work.  I am thinking about it myself for I would hate to throw up the ibo.  I really wish I could tell you more.  The best thing I can say is go to a store that has gel caps like vitamine all B with C or anything with large gel caps.  They are large caps and fairly cheap. Then empty them out an put the ibo in, then put up the poop shoot.  I would say do as many as you will need that way you won’t be trying to do it under the influence of the Ibo.

I wish you the best.  From what you say the Turkish cops are rotten and I would hate to see you go through hell like that.  I kicked a $50 a day habit in jail.  No shower, toothbrush, comb, my clothes were soaking wet, I was cold and shivering, no sleep and I smelled worse than a garbage tuck.  I lost 20 or more pounds in the 10 days.  Seemed much longer.  Be careful good buddy.  I can’t read the 80 letters that are there for me to read.  So feel free to contact me at jimhadey3 @ yahoo.com.  I always like hearing from you.  I would like to help the people here in the USA kick.  Thing is it is illeagal and most do not have the money.  But It would give me a good feeling knowing that I helped someone with such a problem.  See, in America if you have cancer, leukemia, MDS or any other illness people feel sorry for you and show you respect.  They may hold the door open at the supermarked if you are in a wheelchair or crutches.  But addicts and alcoholics are looked down upon.  They are considered no damn good and should be locked up in jail even if they are hurting no one but themselves.  Oh, well I can’t change the world but if I can help one or two that would be nice.

Take care,

– JIM

I don’t think the Bach company itself makes
non-alcohol based essences.  Some local practitioners

big FES out in California may make special orders,
http://www.fesflowers.com/index.htm

I want to emphasize that the amount of alcohol

for dosing you can take the drops in a larger glass of
water to dilute even further, so one doesn’t get a
“triggering” taste of the brandy by taking them
sublingually.  I just mentioned it as a caution since
we are talking about addiction dynamics.  And, I
guess, sensitivity.

On the other hand, of course, I’ve met some folks in

of vitamin C or whatever to “support detox” is too
much within the paradigm of pill-popping — but this
is the left handed school, eh Preston?

Whatever antioxidants do is, I think, the chemistry of
cranberry juicing.

Here’s a description of Recue Remedy — I remembered
that you sometims CAN buy this formula in a cream to
apply instead, say to aching muscles or something:

“As for the Rescue Remedy™, it is a mix of five
remedies – Rock Rose for terror, Clematis for
light-headedness, Impatiens for agitation, Cherry Plum
for loss of self-control and Star of Bethlehem for
shock. Dr Bach selected these five remedies because he
felt there would be at least something in the mix that
would help anyone going through a crisis. To take it
you simply put four drops in a glass of water and sip
as required – and in an emergency, if there is no
water available, you can put the drops straight on the
tongue or rub them on the pulse points. Common uses
for Rescue Remedy™ include calming down the victims of
accidents and combatting pre-operation nerves. Many

sausage casings, gelatin caps, even cigarette rolling paper will work.

or you can do like the bwiti and make an “indra banana split” (stuff the indra into a banana), altho I would encourage the indra to be taken on an empty stomach.

***drink LOTS of water in the of couple days before you dose- Be well Hydrated, this is very important.

It would be great if you could write a composition of all your street/drug

Subject: [Ibogaine] Under The Influence

Preston – I’ve been reading ‘under the influence’ and it’s very, very
interesting and rich in subject matter about legislation and prejudices that
I wasn’t at all aware of. (admittedly much refers to U.S. policy and
culture). An incisively chosen collection of documents well put together,
although I did however find the last 2 pieces(A and B) the richest for
obvious reasons -It would be great if you could write a composition of all
your street/drug life experiences and get them published , my mind was
picturing the scenes in everything you described , – the journey to the
rehab centre and the hell it turned out to be. The Ketamine journey is
something I’d forgotten about  – that dimension you visited reminded me of
what it is to travel those plains, I thought hard and deep about myself and
other people going about their daily lives! never wondering or knowing what
is within and around……………. very pleased I got this book – an
essential read !        Jonny.

A heightened sensitivity level to just about
everything, along with the removal of the dulling drug
the person has been on for so long, makes reaction to any
stimulus much, much, stronger than normal.  It takes some
getting used to.<

Oh yeah, something to definitely watch out for.

The active substance in cranberries
binds quicker/stronger than the bacteria trying to
start the infection.  I’m wondering how that idea applies
to Ibogaine.  Does it have a stronger affinity to the CNS
cells than the addictive substance?  Must have….<

I have no idea of the answer to this, but I do know that Cranberry is about
my favorite straight fruit juice, as well as all the sweetened Ocean Spray
stuff too, the Cran-Raspberry, Cran-Grape, etc.
But straight up cranberry is fantastic, and even works well as diluting
urine for drug tests, although I wouldn’t depend upon it working to totally
eradicate drugs from your system.

Are you saying the Bach remedies are
available without the alcohol?  I know of some excellent
compounding pharmacies who might be able to concoct
without alcohol.<

V thinks there is some way to do it, but she’s never seen it [personally
(she’s always promoting Rescue Remedy, not only for me but more for our
cats). She suggests trying online, maybe Googling non-alcoholic flower
essesences, or “alcohol-free flower essessences.”
Good luck.

Peace and love,
Preston

Hi list,

Six days later, still no desire for crack or heroin.  I am very plugged into the ibo community, and that is helping a lot to fill my time now that I am not running around seeking out drugs and using them.  Got a phone call today form a friend on the West Coast who is writing a book on ibogaine experience and could use some assistance.

Our conversations mostly revolved around the fact there is more to ibogaine that simply raw numbers of who stays clean and who relapses. There is why certain people will seek ibogaine as opposed to other treatments. What are the expectations?
There is the pscho/spirtual piece, there is the ibo journey itself, what finds out about themselves or doesn’t.  What is different afterwards? Even for those who do use again, has their been harm reduction..does knowing that there is a way to kick without so much suffering give hope that they can….

Anyway, just throwing this out. If any of the above gives you food for thought drop please post it. As for me, I am still in post ibo glow. The world looks so beautiful and new. I am so calm and peaceful today. Life without craving is truly beautiful.

To all struggling hang in. If I got one really strong message from my trip, it is that everything passes, everything passes.

Peace,
Sean

Hi Rachel,

Sorry it took so long for me to get back.  I am glad Ann jumped in with her empathetic support.  I would say that my Mom took the stance that there was nothing about ibogaine that was scarier than see me live in my forties the way I did in my thirties.  In those ten years I contracted HIV and HepC, in the last year overdosed nine times, was homeless on the West Coast..you get the idea.

It is right and sane to be concerned about ibogaine I believe. As you know there have been a handful of deaths over the years, probably due to addicts bringing opiates into their treatments. It is so vital to make square that there is absolutely no presence of drugs (or booze) available during treatment. Herbal assistance was fine from my experience, but that’s it. Period. Opiates, coke, pills..could surely lead to death.

In a way I made a risk/benefir ratio before using ibogaine, did a hell of a lot of research (have you been to the ibogaine.mindvox site)? and came down on the side of ibogaine. I tired 12 step, therapy, halfway houses, 30 day treatments..it goes on and on.

I presented it all to my parents. While still very concerned, they agreed that there was nothing scarier about ibogaine than living the life of a crackhead/junkie.  I applaud you and your son for investigating this amazing addiction interrupter.

Enough outta me,
Sean

O yea, I heard tell of a guy coming off of about 300 mg.s From my experience it doesn’t really matter too much the dose. Its the will to deal with little twinges of withdrawal that counts. Ibogaine will take care of just about anything that comes up, but methadone being so long acting is the only thing that doesn’t get killed completely. I read data for a year before I did this and never ever did I see an account of Ibogaine not working no matter what the dose.         Randy

HI all,
Cletus Nelson has kindly given permission to reprint his latest article,

I often am reminded that no matter how hellish things are here at home,

Victoria Malakhova could care less whether you “work your steps,” find your
inner-child, or connect with some unnamed “higher power.” Instead, the
iron-fisted director of the most brutal drug treatment center in Russia is
interested in only one thing: results.

“Isolation, bread and water, that’s all one needs to deal with withdrawal,”
she informs a western journalist.

Welcome to City Without Drugs (CWD) and the sadistic world of
Recovery—Russian style.

Dear Ann,

One tablespoon of anis seed with one tablespoon of crashed fresh ginger, “put your blessings in there” too.
It is the vibe of the preparation that helps too.
You are a cool mama, Ann.

Hi Sara,

Thanks a bunch.  I’m going to prepare the pot of tea right now.  Does it matter how much of the anis and ginger
that goes in?  Or, is it to taste?

Hi Randy,What I normally do is a strong pot of tea, cannabis anis ginger and one tables spoon of olive oil .you cook the ginger with anis seeds first, then
You set it on simmer heat , you put about 5grams or more per pot tea you add the olive oil and keep on this low heat for about 15 minutes.
You put some honey in your cup and drink as much as you need some people start tripping on this tea, so stay at home when you do it, don’t forget to take hot baths. Tell me how it works for you, It takes two weeks to feel the energy coming back.
Good luck, Randy!

There are a few of those reports out there, but I honestly think that’s
going to be the case no matter what the technique used to “kick” drugs.
Desire to kick must be there first and foremost. Otherwise, when the
residual twinges set in, folks are going to run to whatever it is that gives
them immediate relief.
Some might debate on whether these people who report withdrawals
symptoms after taking ibogaine are imagining it, but I don’t believe that
for even a second, having become very very aware of just how dope sick I
could still be at that 12 hour after taking the main dose mark, even though
I’d been told emphatically that it couldn’t possibly be true, that I wasn’t
reeeeally kicking. Of course, taking a booster did help end that sensation-
or at least, taking a booster and a few Valiums and then tripping for
another 24 hours also helped.
Again, I can’t stress the hot baths enough Randy. Put on some incense
(if you like the stuff), smoke a bowl, and soak in the bath with music you
really like on (Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust is always a good choice for me while
soaking in the bath kicking, as is anything that includes “Jane Says” on
it).

Peace and love,
Preston

O yea, I heard tell of a guy coming off of about 300 mg.s From my experience
it doesn’t really matter too much the dose. Its the will to deal with little
twinges of withdrawal that counts. Ibogaine will take care of just about
anything that comes up, but methadone being so long acting is the only thing
that doesn’t get killed completely. I read data for a year before I did this

Hey list, has any one ever seen any data on nicotine and withdrawal? I
wonder if nicotine is exaggerating my withdrawals.<

This is a very interesting question, one I don’t have an answer to.
I’ve always heard the opposite but do have my suspicions you may have a
point.
Hot baths really do help me Randy when I’m in minor withdrawals- not in full
blown though as then water kinda hurts my skin.

Hi Jim,

It’s very good to hear from you. I’m always on line for this forum but I prefer stay silent because of language problem.

I like to talk very detailed with nuances in my mother language but I can’t say whatever I want in English as I want and so I prefer stay silent many of the times.

I wish I could start same kind of forum in Turkish because there is so many people that who need to know about Iboga treatment here in Turkey. Consuming of Oppiates increasing rapidly but our Islamic goverment don’t want to see this problem. (I hate them)

But first I have to solve my own addiction problem. If I could do (I’m sure I’ll do) this then  I want to help others.

What about you? Are you OK? please write me about you. I think we have to talk more.

Best Regards

Hi Fakeplacebo,

Good to see you back on line.  I don’t spend that much time on the forum anymore.  I was thinking the same thing as you.  One way that may work is wrap it in bread and then try and swallow it and let it slide down.  Just an idea.  If it works let me know.  One person told me they put it in a gel capsule.  Like get some cheap pills that are big like vitimans like all B with C.  They are large capsules and fairly cheap to buy.  Empty the cap and put in the powder.  Please let me know what worked for you.

Please contact me off the forum Jimhadey3 @ yahoo.com.

Thanks and best of luck,

Possibly the ibo experience will change this for me. It did for you and some

from what I understand these date rape stories were exploited by the pharmindustry to move GHB into a scheduled status.

so they could sell their “patented” meds to you, the comsuming public.

GHB had been used for many years and was sold at health food stores prior to the deaths.

Remember, you had a choice to do or not to do – you decided.  The 14 year old girl did not have that choice.  They could at the very least dropped her off on a corner and kept an eye on her while another called the EMS.  Or walked her in a hospital and left.  I know little about the drug but I have read that one night you can take a dose and everything is fine and the next day the same dose could cause harm.  Maybe it depends on what you had to eat and things like that.  Again the stuff is made in the kitchen by amateurs and anyone can make a mistake.  If your dose was high and you went out I am sure you would want someone to drop you off at the hospital.  Also, I believe it took 3 or 4 days for the girl to die.  It really was a sad story,  all I’m saying is be careful and have one good friend that you can trust just in case.

Best to ya,

– JIM

i donīt think so,
i think is very dosable once you know the potency of the liquid you have.
I did it myself a few times, last year ( no the heroic dose! ), and is amazing as a mood enhancer, but i also felt the “down” a few days later, so i donīt like this up/down stuff. Anyway, beyond the up/down, something was left improved, a sort of “no-stress” sensation. Better sleep during a few days after.
The friend who introduced me to ghb, drinks litres of it (well, no litres but a lot of), his friends, they use to dose and wait an hour an dose again, then they fall asleep, it seems they like it.
So if you know the potency and donīt mix it, with any other stuff (not even ghb from another bottle), it is “safe”.
You can easily died (or be in great troubles) if you are not aware that you are in ghb and drink any alcohol and/or take any CNS affecting drug though.

Hi Ms_iboga,

I do not know much about GHB.  However, about a year or two ago some guys gave it to some girls, it is also know as one of the date rape drugs.  Also, weighlifters like it too – can’t figure that one out.  But any way one girl died and one went into a coma.  The girls were like 14 and 15 yrs old.  One guy was like 29 and the other 18 or 19.  The girls were drinking Mountain Due, no less, not alcohol.  One girl got sick and puked, rather than calling EMS they went out and rented a rug cleaner at like 2 or 3  in the morning.  This happened near Detroit.  You may find some information in a Google search.

What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the amount needed to OD.  It is easy to make, not that I have done it, from what they said on the news, and it is cheap.  When amateurs make drugs in the kitchen they sometimes may miscalculate the dose.  After all they are amateurs.  I would keep away from it, but that is just me.
Also, since the girls death they made it a schedule 1 drug with the same penalty as H.
I know nothing about gaba, be careful.  And the guys went to jail and rightly so.  They gave it to the girls without them knowing it.  I have heard it has a salty taste.

Best to ya,
– JIM

Hi Dr. Tom,

Thank you for your informative post. The herbs you
mentioned I have heard of, the other supplements I
have not. Are they legal? Isn’t GHB basically a form
of GABA?(pardon me for my ignorance)

I will do a search for the supplements you suggested.
I am hoping I can find them online. And the Bwiti
link sounds fascinating.

Interestingly enough, I came to a conclusion about
suffering/withdrawal: the more I help others, the less
preoccupied I am with myself. I just sent in my
application to volunteer at Sick Kids Hospital here in
Toronto. I think this will do a world of
good(hopefully for both myself AND others), and it is
a healthy, valid suggestion on your part.

Thanks, Dr. Tom, and please keep posting…I enjoy
your sense of humour, and your life view!

Oh, and slightly off topic- once again I realize how
fortunate I am to live in Toronto, despite the frigid
winters. The City of Toronto just initiated a home
composting program: each home receives it’s own green
box, which reduces the amount of organic waste thrown
into regular dumpsters/landfills. The green box is
picked up weekly, and regular garbage collection
BIWEEKLY(weekly for commercial collection)!! Some
people are complaining, but I think it’s brilliant!

Julie 🙂

Hi Julie,

I am glad you heard the story.  It was a shame, a nice 14 or 15 year dead.  Drinking Mountian Due no less.  If the guys were to of put the GHB in the bushes or hid it or whatever and called the EMS the girl may be alive today.

But no, they let the girl die while they rented a  wet vac or some type of carpet cleaner.  Hell they could of said she started acting funny and they knew nothing about it and that she must of took it from someone else.  But to let her die while they cleaned the puke off the carpet that’s is a scumbag.  Thank God the other girl did not die also.  I have an young girl and if I lost her I really do not know what I would do.  The pain must hurt so much.  Well, all three of the guys went to jail.  Just giving it to a girl without telling her is a low down thing to do.  In Michigan you get tried as an adult when your 17 years old.  They do not need a waver or anything like that, most states you must be 18 without a waver.  I really do not remember how many years they got.  I hope they do every day.  Your boyfriend acted like a man, he cared enough about you to save your life.  I am glad you are OK.  If one of those girls had a boyfriend that cared they may of been able to save their lives.  I guess they were planning a gang rape on a 14 year old.

Hi Jim,

Yeah, I heard about those poor girls. The few times I
have tried GHB I have either woken up in a pool of my
own drool or to my boyfriend shaking the hell out of
me, while on the way to the ER.

GHB is NOT my scene- curiousity allowed me to try
it(several times!), but intelligence keeps me from
trying it again.

There was a guy in Toronto about 8-10 years ago, who
used to give GHB to 13-15 year old girls at raves,
rape them while they were passed out, and film the
whole thing. Needless to say, he turned up dead a
couple of years later. The official ’cause of death’
was suicide- most people, however, think it was
homicide; probably one of the family members getting
their revenge.

I like drugs that make me feel good, not ones that
make me blackout.

Hi Fakeplacebo,

Good to see you back on line.  I don’t spend that much time on the forum anymore.  I was thinking the same thing as you.  One way that may work is wrap it in bread and then try and swallow it and let it slide down.  Just an idea.  If it works let me know.  One person told me they put it in a gel capsule.  Like get some cheap pills that are big like vitimans like all B with C.  They are large capsules and fairly cheap to buy.  Empty the cap and put in the powder.  Please let me know what worked for you.

Please contact me off the forum Jimhadey3 @ yahoo.com.

Thanks and best of luck,

Today I still really relaxed, and without using thoughts and cravings. I am really going to be much more careful with myself this time, though. I actually allowed a friend to walk me to the bus terminal and make sure I safely got out of the big city last night without any trips down the “wrong” streets.  I wasn’t open to that kind of concern before.

Hello Sara. How are you feeling? I hope your family is good and you had a valuable Yom Kippur. I am curious about the physiological sensations of ibogaine. Not the cerebral manifestations but the effects on the body. What does your body and head feel like? Is it a relaxed feeling? A stimulated, energetic sensation? Dreamy and floating? Anxious and tense? I know it may vary with dose and person but generally speaking. 

            Also, did you get my letter re: botanicals et al off forum?

At first I began to streaks of liquid light. I knew the trip was about to begin.  I closed my eyes and the movie began.

I saw a baby coming down a long dark tunnel, moving toward a distant pinpoint of light. The baby just kept traveling down the dark tunnel…suddenly the scene changed and there was a woman holding a baby adoringly.  Looking at the baby with son much joy and love.  The I saw more people and more people doing the same thing. Holding their babies, loving them, adoring them,,,,until there were hundreds of men and women holding their babies. Soon they all started to spin with their babies in lovely green field.

I focused in on one person in the field, and suddenly the baby was gone. It was a lovely woman in her late twenties. Slowly she aged, thirties, forties, sixties, until she looked to be 100, very old and gnarled and withering. Then she turned to dust and was gone. A thought passed my mind, quietly. “Everything passes, everything passes.

Around this time I opened my eyes in the pitch black room. I looked up at the ceiling and saw a man I recognized floating across the ceiling. I said, I know who that is, it’s Dana Beale!  Then he slid down the wall and disappeared.

Next I saw panoramic vistas..clear blue water, amazing mountain ranges..the colors were crisp and vibrant. An awesome summer day in the mountains. I swam in a pool of water fed by the mountains. I was so peaceful and joyous.

then I saw my parents. I thought how they are getting old and will pass one day. I became very sad at this thought. Again the message in my head..everything passes, everything passes.

I saw my using buddies next.  I was the street hustlers of Christopher park one by one.  I became very sick to stomach watching them. I mean really ill. I thought I would vomit if I kept looking at them, then they were gone.

A bear came next. First he was looking really menacing and ferocious, ready to pounce. But as I looked at him, he relaxed and became calm.

The babies returned at various intervals. The sunfilled panoramic vistas returned. My parents returned…..

Then I remember just lying still.  And calm. I talked to the addict madman within myself and said, “We are done with it now. It’s time to move on. It’s time to move on.

It was about 14-15 hours later.  Around four AM Tuesday.  The liquid flashes returned, but the visuals ended.

By 10:00 the next morning I was sitting in a whirl pool bathroom. Shortly later I puked up my first my meal, a fruit salad. I spent the next three days in a hotel suite with my provider.  MarcC stopped by and spent Tuesday night with us. I have head no cravings since. My mind is crisp and calm. It’s Friday morning now and back home.

All day today, the colors of the world were so incredibly bright and beautiful. It’s like looking at the world for the first time again. I have deep sense of peace, and none of the addict chatter that has plagued me for years. I feel free.

Hi Dana,

I have a message from Dmitri, a good friend of ibogaine who you know well: “Dana, you must go to the next Bush, Kerry debate.  They are taking questions from the audience.  PS D says he will fed ex the brown corduroy suit if necessary.”

That is all.

Hello Sara. How are you feeling? I hope your family is good and you had a valuable Yom Kippur. I am curious about the physiological sensations of ibogaine. Not the cerebral manifestations but the effects on the body. What does your body and head feel like? Is it a relaxed feeling? A stimulated, energetic sensation? Dreamy and floating? Anxious and tense? I know it may vary with dose and person but generally speaking.

Also, did you get my letter re: botanicals et al off forum?

Thanks Sara,

Julian

Hi Randy and all,
I’d love to finally meet you Randy and anyone else who’d like to show up
and help us celebrate, as I note in the notice, the one that has the time
and place on it. You can check it out at DrugWar.com Randy, looking in the
leftbar at the left side of the homepage for a link to the party info, or
you can check out the following link, clicking on “news and events” also on
the left side of the URL to the following page (there’s more here too, like
the forward and table of contents, to reiterate, as well as the party info,
again, if you didn’t see it along with the photos at DrugWar.com, which has
even more links to even more info and to cool photos of semi-naked beautiful
dancer friends of ours who will be performing at the party, providing a bit
of the ol’ sex part of the “sex,drugs, and rock n’ roll” part of the party’s
name):

<<<What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the
amount needed to OD. >>>

i don´t think so,
i think is very dosable once you know the potency of the liquid you
have.
I did it myself a few times, last year ( no the heroic dose! ), and is
amazing as a mood enhancer, but i also felt the “down” a few days later,
so
i don´t like this up/down stuff. Anyway, beyond the up/down, something
was
left improved, a sort of “no-stress” sensation. Better sleep during a
few
days after.
The friend who introduced me to ghb, drinks litres of it (well, no
litres
but a lot of), his friends, they use to dose and wait an hour an dose
again,
then they fall asleep, it seems they like it.
So if you know the potency and don´t mix it, with any other stuff (not
even
ghb from another bottle), it is “safe”.
You can easily died (or be in great troubles) if you are not aware that
you
are in ghb and drink any alcohol and/or take any CNS affecting drug
though.

Hi Ms_iboga,

I do not know much about GHB.  However, about a year or two ago some
guys
gave it to some girls, it is also know as one of the date rape drugs.
Also,
weighlifters like it too – can’t figure that one out.  But any way one
girl
died and one went into a coma.  The girls were like 14 and 15 yrs old.
One
guy was like 29 and the other 18 or 19.  The girls were drinking
Mountain
Due, no less, not alcohol.  One girl got sick and puked, rather than
calling
EMS they went out and rented a rug cleaner at like 2 or 3  in the
morning.
This happened near Detroit.  You may find some information in a Google
search.

What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the
amount
needed to OD.  It is easy to make, not that I have done it, from what
they
said on the news, and it is cheap.  When amateurs make drugs in the
kitchen
they sometimes may miscalculate the dose.  After all they are amateurs.
I
would keep away from it, but that is just me.
Also, since the girls death they made it a schedule 1 drug with the same
penalty as H.
I know nothing about gaba, be careful.  And the guys went to jail and
rightly so.  They gave it to the girls without them knowing it.  I have
heard it has a salty taste.

Best to ya,
– JIM

Hi Dr. Tom,

Thank you for your informative post. The herbs you
mentioned I have heard of, the other supplements I
have not. Are they legal? Isn’t GHB basically a form
of GABA?(pardon me for my ignorance)

I will do a search for the supplements you suggested.
I am hoping I can find them online. And the Bwiti
link sounds fascinating.

Interestingly enough, I came to a conclusion about
suffering/withdrawal: the more I help others, the less
preoccupied I am with myself. I just sent in my
application to volunteer at Sick Kids Hospital here in
Toronto. I think this will do a world of
good(hopefully for both myself AND others), and it is
a healthy, valid suggestion on your part.

Thanks, Dr. Tom, and please keep posting…I enjoy
your sense of humour, and your life view!

Oh, and slightly off topic- once again I realize how
fortunate I am to live in Toronto, despite the frigid
winters. The City of Toronto just initiated a home
composting program: each home receives it’s own green
box, which reduces the amount of organic waste thrown
into regular dumpsters/landfills. The green box is
picked up weekly, and regular garbage collection
BIWEEKLY(weekly for commercial collection)!! Some
people are complaining, but I think it’s brilliant!

Julie 🙂

Hi all,
I know it must seem like I’m inundating you all with notices about Under
The Influence, so please excuse me, but I can’t help it, I’m very excited
about the book, and there seems to be new news every other day. Therefore,
to get to the point, please visit the URL above to read the table of
contents, forward, editor bio, and more.
On another note, I will be a guest on Dean Becker’s awesome Houston
radio program Drug Truth Network on Oct. 12, 2004 (7:30PM Eastern time,
broadcast online line at: http://www.DrugTruth.Net), discussing the Under
the Influence and the War on Some Drugs and Users that inspired it.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Hi Preston, Jim, Julie, Randy, and folks reading,

GABA is a neurotransmitter chemical in the brain that we all want to be
friends with. Too much or too little and serious problemos with what we
call a mind. Taking it as nutrient into the GI tract involves some little
bits of it sliding into a nervous system(Central Nervous System=CNS,
sorry)
where it can help if levels are low there. Too much,too often and high
command shuts down the cells that are in charge of absorbing it. Luckily
for that mind.

GHB, the “date rape drug” has lots of sensational press(that’s what they
DO after all) and it is a strong precursor molecule that slides past these
biological gatekeepers and can straight across wink out the lights of
whoever it get into in a large dose. As for date rape credentials, it has
light years to go to catch up with Budweiser longnecks in this culture. In
my parents era and before, they had Micky Finns of chloral hydrate, or
chloraform, or ether on gauze masks to do the deed. The implement or
chemical isn’t the cause of the violence and abuse, it’s some sick fuck
that thinks they can get away with it.

Be free, strong, healthy, and help this life be kinder and more caring.
That will contrast with the world of terrified and injured people who know
violence, abuse and illness as their only model. Be the changes you want
to see in the world. These molecules, drugs, and nutrients can be great
tools, but you are the artisan as to what you make with them.

Great images, Randy. What a show!

Dr. Tom

This may have already been answered, so sorry if i’m repeating what
someone else’s said…

GHB affects a number of neurotranmitter systems, but it’s main effects
seem to be a result of GABA agonism, that is, it increases the
transmission of GABA. GABA is a neurotransmitter, like serotonin,
norepinephrine, etc. Recent reserach has found that GHB itself appears to
be a neurotransmitter as well, as a GHB receptor has been identified. Both
GHB and GABA occur natually in the body.

GABA’s main purpose is thought to be inhibition of neuronal activity;
basically, the idea is that GABA acts sort of as a brake on the brain.
Most anti-anxiety drugs work by interacting with the GABA system and
increasing GABAergic activity, including GHB, benzodiazepines (valium,
xanax, klonopin, etc), and kava.

You can still buy GABA at health stores, but as far as i know, it doesn’t
pass through the blood brain barrier very well, so it’s questionable
whether taking it would have any real effect. Though, I have used Source
Natural’s sublingual GABA tablets, and they do seem to work somewhat. It
could be a placebo effect, though I’m somewhat skeptical of that.

In any case, one of the main reasons for  GHB’s development as a
supplement was that it crosses the blood brain barrier much more
efficiently.

Bodybuilders use it because it stimulates release of growth hormone from
the pituitary gland; but actual physical results of this haven’t been too
promising in research that’s been done.

Hi Ms_iboga,

I do not know much about GHB.  However, about a year or two ago some guys
gave it to some girls, it is also know as one of the date rape drugs.
Also,
weighlifters like it too – can’t figure that one out.  But any way one
girl
died and one went into a coma.  The girls were like 14 and 15 yrs old.
One
guy was like 29 and the other 18 or 19.  The girls were drinking Mountain
Due, no less, not alcohol.  One girl got sick and puked, rather than
calling
EMS they went out and rented a rug cleaner at like 2 or 3  in the morning.
This happened near Detroit.  You may find some information in a Google
search.

What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the
amount
needed to OD.  It is easy to make, not that I have done it, from what they
said on the news, and it is cheap.  When amateurs make drugs in the
kitchen
they sometimes may miscalculate the dose.  After all they are amateurs.  I
would keep away from it, but that is just me.
Also, since the girls death they made it a schedule 1 drug with the same
penalty as H.
I know nothing about gaba, be careful.  And the guys went to jail and
rightly so.  They gave it to the girls without them knowing it.  I have
heard it has a salty taste.

Best to ya,

I am hoping I can find them online. And the Bwiti

Oh, and slightly off topic- once again I realize how
fortunate I am to live in Toronto, despite the frigid
winters. The City of Toronto just initiated a home
composting program: each home receives it’s own green
box, which reduces the amount of organic waste thrown
into regular dumpsters/landfills. The green box is
picked up weekly, and regular garbage collection
BIWEEKLY(weekly for commercial collection)!! Some
people are complaining, but I think it’s brilliant!

I’m supposed to pick up my provider today and I’m so high on Methadone that
I’m afraid I can’t make it down there without nodding out at the wheel. Its
wed September the 30th. I think. Well, that doesn’t happen, so I don’t have
to worry about that anymore, I have to go to Harlem a little dope sick cause
there aint no more. After much ado we meet up and this guy is sitting next
to me going back to the Catskills. Immediately I know this guy is wise as
hell, he oozed an all is well feeling from his aura somehow. When we get
back up here I took a 3 mg. per kg. test dose and laid down. In about 30
minutes it hit me right between the eyes. It was the hardest I hallucinated
the whole time. I opened my eyes and looked at trails off of my hands. Wow,
never seen’em like that before and everything was covered in shimmering
liquid metal or plasma or what ever. I closed my eyes and laid back and
concentrated on my trip. This si when I was wondering what it would look
like in space and bam I’m floating about 50 feet off the ground looking down
at a big log in a field. I shoot up incredibly fast but keep my eye on the
same spot on the ground and its getting smaller real fast. When we break the
atmosphere we hesitate just a second and then, blast off we are going in
warp drive away from earth and it gets smaller and smaller as I watch out
the porthole. Now I say we because it felt like I was with somebody and he
or she was driving. That was the most vivid trip I ever experienced. I mean
I was there. After about 12 hours and what seemed like 4 or 5 hours of sleep
in that time, I took another 3mg. dose. I’m getting used to the feeling now
and I get cocky and move around too much and yak out my toenails about this
time. I kept every pill down the whole time though. After about 8 hours the
withdrawals came back. Another 3mg. dose. About 4 hours later same thing
until about half of the meth was out of me. At this time I took the 16mg.
per kg. dose and went in hard. All in all I laid down for about 36 hours I
guess. I was never bored or scared. Trippin’ for 36 hours aint my cup of tea
but this was the most magical thing I ever witnessed. I saw pygmies floating
by and they would look me right in the eye. I saw pretty African women
dancing in unison wearing yellow dresses with red and orange flowers on
them. There was a feeling of love or something in it. My shaman told me to
ask it stuff and I did, it worked. At one point I conjured up a real cool
design kinda like the Mind Vox symbol. I just decided I wanted to see it and
it appeared. This step method of Methadone de-tox is the only way to go I
would think. I feel a few little twinges but almost non existent withdrawals
every once in a while but it isn’t anything to worry about. I’ll stay
occupied. I’ve got a lot of stuff to do and a 1001 moves I can make. I’ve
never felt a freedom like this before.             Randy

Oh my god, Preston, what a bloody nightmare!  I can’t
imagine having to go through withdrawal in a room full
of strangers.  I feel for you, man…

Non-users just have no idea what is like, both
physically and mentally, to withdraw from opiates; cuz
if they did, you can bet your ass they would be a bit
more compassionate.

Hi Jim,

Yeah, I heard about those poor girls.  The few times I
have tried GHB I have either woken up in a pool of my
own drool or to my boyfriend shaking the hell out of
me, while on the way to the ER.

GHB is NOT my scene- curiousity allowed me to try
it(several times!), but intelligence keeps me from
trying it again.

There was a guy in Toronto about 8-10 years ago, who
used to give GHB to 13-15 year old girls at raves,
rape them while they were passed out, and film the
whole thing.  Needless to say, he turned up dead a
couple of years later.  The official ’cause of death’
was suicide- most people, however, think it was
homicide; probably one of the family members getting
their revenge.

I like drugs that make me feel good, not ones that
make me blackout.

Julie

the process of rewriting back into first person as I believe I’ve mentioned
here more than once. It’s a story about one time when I was using Valium to
kick, having been handed a handful before leaving London by a friend
specifically to help ease me through the worst of the upcoming cold-turkey
kicking I knew one hundred percent for sure I was going to be going through
once arriving in NYC, where I was headed to reunite with my then girlfiend
(spelled correctlly btw). I ended up living the semester out on the SUNY
Purchase college campus, out past White Plains, landing at the beginning of
February 1994, during one of the very coldest Winters NY had seen in
decades. Withdrawals, as most all of us are probably aware (at least it was
always the case with me) leave me extremely succeptible to cold
temperatures, and this lead to my landing in hell for lack of a better
description. By the time the plane landed in New Jersey I was already in
withdrawals, and things just got worse as I got closer and closer to, then
finally arriving at the Purchase campus.
So here, for a brief glimpse of what can happen when using Valium (mixed
with copious amounts of alcohol liberally applied to my otherwise empty,
jetlagged stomach), I offer the following snippet from “Something in the
Way.”

Something in the Way by Preston Peet

(current) Chapter 6-

The Return

snip-

I figure there’s no better way to break the ice with college students than
by breaking out and smoking hashish with them. All are appreciative and
impressed by the taste of, and high from, the hash. After a couple of
joints, rolled the European way, mixing hash with tobacco, everyone relaxes,
except me. Even Bob begins to thaw a bit towards me, but I can see in his
eyes and demeanor he still has reservations about me.

It’s not much longer before I cannot take anymore socializing. “I’ve got to
lay down Bob. Where are we sleeping, please?”

“Hey, no problem,” Bob says as he climbs to his feet. “Help me pull this.”
He takes hold of one end of the sofa, chasing those sitting there off for a
moment, and he and I pull it away from the wall a few feet. He grabs a
mattress leaning against the wall and drops it to the floor behind the sofa,
right there in the living room where everyone is still making no signs to
leave. “I hope you don’t mind the lights on,” says Bob with an evil little
grin.

He has no idea that this is still luxury living to me.

Unfortunately, there is steady traffic in and out of the apartment for
hours, which keeps the Arctic air on me. I’m so sick now that each move I
make makes me want to throw up. My skin is alternately on fire and freezing
cold, and I can’t stop sweating, soaking the sheet beneath me. The Valiums I
‘ve so far taken aren’t helping me sleep at all. I can hear snatches of
conversations as I drift in and out of lucidity, both from the students and
from Oliver Stone’s film, “The Doors,” now playing on the tv. I distinctly
hear Jim Morrison tell Pamela to get out and to not forget her heroin. “I
won’t” I mumble in my delirium, right there in the film with the characters
and their drugs.

I lie there for I don’t know how many hours, drifting in my state of hell.
Then I’m jerked to full awareness by my girlfiend shaking me.

“Come on, get up, we gotta get out of here,” she says. “Bob needs the
apartment, ’cause a bunch of people are coming over to study and he can’t
have someone tossing and turning and mumbling the whole time behind his
sofa. It’s distracting.”

So the room’s been privy to my suffering. I don’t care. I’m feeling like
shit, and don’t care less what Bob nor his friends think of me now. But I’ve
no choice in the matter, I have to go with her out of the apartment. Before
we leave, I have to race to the toilet because my bowels are loose and I
have the runs, one of the worst parts of kicking heroin for me.

My girlfiend leads the way through the night, across campus over an unending
sheet of ice and snow. I just want to lie down, right here in the snow and
go nowhere, but I manage to keep to my feet, trudging grudgingly along
behind her. It’s snowing hard, making the going a total Eskimo Hell even
more slippery than it was earlier, but we eventually arrive at a garage-like
building, climbing up a narrow metal staircase and entering through what
looks like the back door.

We’re now in the cafeteria building, which at night houses the student bar,
where my girlfiend introduces me to the red haired, heavily tattooed
bartender, Mike. I proceed to ask Mike for a pitcher, for myself. I take it
to a table where I sit by myself the rest of the long evening, popping one
Valium after another until they are all gone, drinking them down with
pitcher after pitcher, finishing off four of them almost entirely by myself
in the three hours we are there at the bar. I’m trying desperately to escape
the withdrawals, but it’s no good. I cannot get away from myself, so now I’m
blind drunk and still completely sick too. We finally leave, thinking it
must be late enough that the study session has ended.

Outside on the ice again I fall repeatedly, my girlfiend bitching and
snapping at me the entire way. I haven’t stopping thinking all night what an
incredibly stupid idea this was, to come back here to the US. My girlfiend
is acting like a total stranger, completely different from the girl I’d
known in London. There she’d been a friendly, compassionate young woman, not
this evil troll she’s been since my return. She knows what I’m going through
right now, that I’m kicking a very serious, over-a-gram-a-day-of-good-heroin
habit, because she’d been with me the previous six months and gone right
through it with me, though not doing nearly the amounts I’ve been doing. She
hadn’t done enough for long enough to catch more than a mild chippy, but she
‘s lived close enough to not only me but many other addicts as well, close
enough to know what withdrawals are and how bad they can be. She’s even seen
me go through it before in London, though I had a bottle of methadone there
to help me get through the bad parts. Now she’s acting like she had no idea
that was part of the bargain, that by my coming here I was definitely
putting myself knowingly into a situation where I was without question
having to go through kicking a heavy dope habit and it was to be with her I
was doing it.

Back at Bob’s I drop to the mattress, grateful for the respite from the
troll. Sleep will be a blessed relief. With all the Valiums and the beer, I
expect to fall asleep no matter how sick I am. For normal people this would
be the case, but I’m far from normal when it comes to drugs and tolerances
to those drugs. All I seem to have accomplished with all the pills and
alcohol is to remove my ability to focus my eyes and to give myself the
spins, on top of being in withdrawals. When I finally do pass out, it’s
lightly, fitfully, and nowhere near as deep a sleep as I need.

I go in and out of dreams, strange and terrible dreams, vision of shooting
up, or trying to shoot up but not finding my vein no matter how many time I
stick myself, missing the vein when I finally give up and push in the
plunger. In one I’ve got the money but can’t find the dealer, then I’m
running from the person I robbed for the money. Then I’m dreaming I’m in
London, back in the squat. In my dream I get up to relieve myself, using one
of the old glass milk bottles I keep by the door for just this purpose, so I
don’t have to go downstairs through the cold building to the only toilet a
floor below. There’s something distinctly wrong, but peeing is such a relief
I don’t think about it, I just go.

“Hey man, Yo! Get the Fuck Up!”

I bolt upright out of sleep and into a real nightmare. My body feels like it
‘s going haywire, my muscles jumping and twitching, on fire and hurting. To
top if off I’m soaking wet with sweat, and my girlfiend is shrieking at me.

“You tried to piss in a coke bottle and peed all over the living room carpet
by the front door, you ass!” She’s beside herself with anger, because Bob
had come back to one of the back rooms to tell her what was happening.
Apparently, I’d suddenly risen to my knees behind the sofa and, paying no
attention to Bob and the other people still awake and studying in the room,
had grabbed a bottle and begun to pee, all over the floor, my hands and the
wall and door. Then I’d laid back down behind the sofa.

I’d thought that dream was a little too real. Now I’m embarrassed on top of
everything else. So much for worrying about my reputation. I don’t know what
to do, so I just stand there, until my girlfiend pushes me to the restroom
and throws some clothes at me.

“Get changed, and I’ll clean up,” she tell me as she slams the door in my
face. After I change, I go back out to the living room where Bob and my
girlfiend are now the only ones in the room.

“I’m sorry, jetlag you know,” I try to explain, but Bob just waves me off.

“Don’t worry about it,” he grunts at me.

I lay back down on the now clean mattress, and with my legs and arms pulled
up under my body to keep the muscles from kicking, I finally fall back into
a restless sleep. In the morning no one says anything to me so I stay under
the blankets, shivering and shaking and trying not to moan out loud,
delirious but in enough control to manage remaining quiet while feeling like
hell. The day slowly turns into night then back into day. As soon as it is
light out, I wake my girlfiend and tell her to give me the 50 pound note I’d
given her in London to bring with her to the States for me. She doesn’t want
to, arguing with me for a while but I prevail, telling her I’m only going to
go to White Plains and exchange it into dollars. After she leaves for the
first class of the day, I ask around the apartment for directions, asking
where to go in NYC to buy weed.

“I can get you excellent pot here,” Bob tells me. “Why go all the way to the
city when you can get it here?” He’s giving me a funny look.

“I’ve never been to NYC before,” I tell him. “I want to do this for the
adventure.” It sounds kind of lame when I say it, but do I really care what
this fat cop-wannabe thinks? No, I don’t. The real reason I want to know
where to buy pot is because I think the people selling pot on the streets
more likely than not know where I can score some heroin. One of the benefits
of prohibition is the mingling of drugs, harmless pot sold alongside
hardcore powders.

Hi Julian,

Everyone I know except one person quit methadone via H – everyone.  Maybe if
time goes on you can lower your dose and take pills like Tylenol #4 or
Lortab or Demerol or those Durgesic patches.  But one of the hardest times I
remember is when I was only doing four Tylenol # 4 a day.  That really is
very light.  But I damn near called the fire department to put my ass out.
I had the shits so bad and sweats too.  I know it is hard to believe that 4
lousy Tylenol #4 would do that to ya.  But with the pain your in you will
most likely be taking some narcotic for pain.  And as you know you end up
taking more and more for the same relief.  And rainy days are so much worse,
at least for me.  I hope the Igbo works for you but then as we said you
still have the pain problem.  Damn, can’t win for loseing.  Out of them all
Tylenol # 4 I would say is the best.  Can’t explane why something to do with
the first pass of ! the liver.  For example, if you were to eat a dillie, no
big deal, but if you shoot it it hits ya sooo nice.  Well for some reason
Tylenol# 4 is the one of the best to eat.  But it can stop you up, I know I
took them for 20 years or so.  You know I wish you the VERY best good buddy.

BTW you said >>>but I am very weak when it comes to discomfort via drug
withdrawal.

Not that it is a contest buy I think I am weeker than you. Also, Valium can
relax some of the back muscle, maybe you doc will give you some.  But as
usual you can take a hand full and not feel them.  Take two a day, you won’t
“really” feel it but it will help.  If you should take a large amount and
quit you can have seizures. I know, I had them.

Now you know two.
I used one bag of heroin during my withdrawals. One day while looking around
Tompkins Square Park (for what would have been a second bag had I succeeded
in scoring) I was given a buprenorphine and told to let it disolve under my
tongue. I got very, very “high” a couple hours later, so high it felt as
though I had scored a bag of dope, and I had to convince V I hadn’t scored
but rather had taken this buprenorphine (which I’d never seen before, much
less actually done), with my eyeballs pinned and my stomach ejecting the
little I’d managed to put into it earlier that day. To this day I’m not
entirely sure whether I was really “high” or if I was having an adverse
reaction due to having methadone still in my system and the antagonist stuff
mixed into buprenorphine was kicking in (to excuse the inadvertent pun
please). I was getting a dilaudid script aat that time, but it was a very
small one that didn’t last nearly the entire withdrawal process, and was
helpful in only a very small limited way. I tried to use poppy tea, but that
was also very sporadic while kicking. I mainly used a combination of all of
the above, but what I used more of was lots of pot and hot baths and music
and incense than any opiates.
It took some time before I started to increase my dilaudid scripts,
another year at least between kicking methadone and really launching into a
really hard core, strung-out phase on dilaudids in other words.

Peace and love,
Preston

<<<What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the amount needed to OD. >>>

i don´t think so,
i think is very dosable once you know the potency of the liquid you have.
I did it myself a few times, last year ( no the heroic dose! ), and is amazing as a mood enhancer, but i also felt the “down” a few days later, so i don´t like this up/down stuff. Anyway, beyond the up/down, something was left improved, a sort of “no-stress” sensation. Better sleep during a few days after.
The friend who introduced me to ghb, drinks litres of it (well, no litres but a lot of), his friends, they use to dose and wait an hour an dose again, then they fall asleep, it seems they like it.
So if you know the potency and don´t mix it, with any other stuff (not even ghb from another bottle), it is “safe”.
You can easily died (or be in great troubles) if you are not aware that you are in ghb and drink any alcohol and/or take any CNS affecting drug though.

Hi Ms_iboga,

I do not know much about GHB.  However, about a year or two ago some guys gave it to some girls, it is also know as one of the date rape drugs.  Also, weighlifters like it too – can’t figure that one out.  But any way one girl died and one went into a coma.  The girls were like 14 and 15 yrs old.  One guy was like 29 and the other 18 or 19.  The girls were drinking Mountain Due, no less, not alcohol.  One girl got sick and puked, rather than calling EMS they went out and rented a rug cleaner at like 2 or 3  in the morning.  This happened near Detroit.  You may find some information in a Google search.

What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the amount needed to OD.  It is easy to make, not that I have done it, from what they said on the news, and it is cheap.  When amateurs make drugs in the kitchen they sometimes may miscalculate the dose.  After all they are amateurs.  I would keep away from it, but that is just me.
Also, since the girls death they made it a schedule 1 drug with the same penalty as H.
I know nothing about gaba, be careful.  And the guys went to jail and rightly so.  They gave it to the girls without them knowing it.  I have heard it has a salty taste.

Best to ya,
– JIM

Hi Dr. Tom,

Thank you for your informative post. The herbs you
mentioned I have heard of, the other supplements I
have not. Are they legal? Isn’t GHB basically a form
of GABA?(pardon me for my ignorance)

I will do a search for the supplements you suggested.
I am hoping I can find them online. And the Bwiti
link sounds fascinating.

Interestingly enough, I came to a conclusion about
suffering/withdrawal: the more I help others, the less
preoccupied I am with myself. I just sent in my
application to volunteer at Sick Kids Hospital here in
Toronto. I think this will do a world of
good(hopefully for both myself AND others), and it is
a healthy, valid suggestion on your part.

Thanks, Dr. Tom, and please keep posting…I enjoy
your sense of humour, and your life view!

Oh, and slightly off topic- once again I realize how
fortunate I am to live in Toronto, despite the frigid
winters. The City of Toronto just initiated a home
composting program: each home receives it’s own green
box, which reduces the amount of organic waste thrown
into regular dumpsters/landfills. The green box is
picked up weekly, and regular garbage collection
BIWEEKLY(weekly for commercial collection)!! Some
people are complaining, but I think it’s brilliant!

Julie 🙂

I’m supposed to pick up my provider today and I’m so high on Methadone that I’m afraid I can’t make it down there without nodding out at the wheel. Its wed September the 30th. I think. Well, that doesn’t happen, so I don’t have to worry about that anymore, I have to go to Harlem a little dope sick cause there aint no more. After much ado we meet up and this guy is sitting next to me going back to the Catskills. Immediately I know this guy is wise as hell, he oozed an all is well feeling from his aura somehow. When we get back up here I took a 3 mg. per kg. test dose and laid down. In about 30 minutes it hit me right between the eyes. It was the hardest I hallucinated the whole time. I opened my eyes and looked at trails off of my hands. Wow, never seen’em like that before and everything was covered in shimmering liquid metal or plasma or what ever. I closed my eyes and laid back and concentrated on my trip. This si when I was wondering what it would look like in space and bam I’m floating about 50 feet off the ground looking down at a big log in a field. I shoot up incredibly fast but keep my eye on the same spot on the ground and its getting smaller real fast. When we break the atmosphere we hesitate just a second and then, blast off we are going in warp drive away from earth and it gets smaller and smaller as I watch out the porthole. Now I say we because it felt like I was with somebody and he or she was driving. That was the most vivid trip I ever experienced. I mean I was there. After about 12 hours and what seemed like 4 or 5 hours of sleep in that time, I took another 3mg. dose. I’m getting used to the feeling now and I get cocky and move around too much and yak out my toenails about this time. I kept every pill down the whole time though. After about 8 hours the withdrawals came back. Another 3mg. dose. About 4 hours later same thing until about half of the meth was out of me. At this time I took the 16mg. per kg. dose and went in hard. All in all I laid down for about 36 hours I guess. I was never bored or scared. Trippin’ for 36 hours aint my cup of tea but this was the most magical thing I ever witnessed. I saw pygmies floating by and they would look me right in the eye. I saw pretty African women dancing in unison wearing yellow dresses with red and orange flowers on them. There was a feeling of love or something in it. My shaman told me to ask it stuff and I did, it worked. At one point I conjured up a real cool  design kinda like the Mind Vox symbol. I just decided I wanted to see it and it appeared. This step method of Methadone de-tox is the only way to go I would think. I feel a few little twinges but almost non existent withdrawals every once in a while but it isn’t anything to worry about. I’ll stay occupied. I’ve got a lot of stuff to do and a 1001 moves I can make. I’ve never felt a freedom like this before.             Randy

This only because I was put into jail and had no choice, but the experience reinforced my committment to staying on meth or some opiate. Possibly the ibo experience will change this for me. It did for you and some others, but I am very weak when it comes to discomfort via drug withdrawal. I don’t know…….

Thanks for this withdrawal evaluation.

Hi Howard,

A few days ago you put on the forum that you needed money to attend a convention of some kind.  I do not remember exactly what it was, when it was or where it was.  However, I may be able to help, I am not sure.  If things go right I will  send you a postal money order.  If things do not go right I can’t.

Could you please tell me where to send the check, I would like to make sure an honest person opens the letter, you if possible.  Also, by what time do you need it by?  Please keep this off the forum.  I will have to wait about a week before I am able to mail it to you and it should take about a week for you to get it.  It is a couple minutes before Thursday the 7th ( 11:45 Wed Oct 6th).  Hey, this is no big mystery, I will tell you a little more later, but don’t want to get your hopes high.  So please don’t think this is some kind of James Bond crap, it really is simple.

I will tell you either way in a week or so if I will be mailing it.  It will be coming from Detroit with a Royal Oak post mark.   Like I say if things go right you will have it, if they don’t there is nothing I can do.  Either way you have nothing to lose.

Thank you Howard,

– JIM

apparently you won’t want to do drugs any more!

Is anyone else as disturbed by this as I am? Or am I

Hi Ms_iboga,

I do not know much about GHB.  However, about a year or two ago some guys gave it to some girls, it is also know as one of the date rape drugs.  Also, weighlifters like it too – can’t figure that one out.  But any way one girl died and one went into a coma.  The girls were like 14 and 15 yrs old.  One guy was like 29 and the other 18 or 19.  The girls were drinking Mountain Due, no less, not alcohol.  One girl got sick and puked, rather than calling EMS they went out and rented a rug cleaner at like 2 or 3  in the morning.  This happened near Detroit.  You may find some information in a Google search.

What I do know is the amount needed to get high is very close to the amount needed to OD.  It is easy to make, not that I have done it, from what they said on the news, and it is cheap.  When amateurs make drugs in the kitchen they sometimes may miscalculate the dose.  After all they are amateurs.  I would keep away from it, but that is just me.
Also, since the girls death they made it a schedule 1 drug with the same penalty as H.
I know nothing about gaba, be careful.  And the guys went to jail and rightly so.  They gave it to the girls without them knowing it.  I have heard it has a salty taste.

Best to ya,
– JIM

Hi Dr. Tom,

Thank you for your informative post. The herbs you
mentioned I have heard of, the other supplements I
have not. Are they legal? Isn’t GHB basically a form
of GABA?(pardon me for my ignorance)

I will do a search for the supplements you suggested.
I am hoping I can find them online. And the Bwiti
link sounds fascinating.

Interestingly enough, I came to a conclusion about
suffering/withdrawal: the more I help others, the less
preoccupied I am with myself. I just sent in my
application to volunteer at Sick Kids Hospital here in
Toronto. I think this will do a world of
good(hopefully for both myself AND others), and it is
a healthy, valid suggestion on your part.

Thanks, Dr. Tom, and please keep posting…I enjoy
your sense of humour, and your life view!

Oh, and slightly off topic- once again I realize how
fortunate I am to live in Toronto, despite the frigid
winters. The City of Toronto just initiated a home
composting program: each home receives it’s own green
box, which reduces the amount of organic waste thrown
into regular dumpsters/landfills. The green box is
picked up weekly, and regular garbage collection
BIWEEKLY(weekly for commercial collection)!! Some
people are complaining, but I think it’s brilliant!

Julie 🙂

Dr Tom,

can you describe what each of these below supplements help with (in
relation to addiction and ibogaine)?

Thanks,

_.DH

Hi Dave, sure:

First they were offered in relation to help with withdrawal symptoms from
Methadone and suggested as help with restoring more optimal brain
chemistries. Therefore they are support suggestions to complement the
effect of recovery from addiction to Methadone and the beneficial changes
from using Ibogaine. Not the whole enchilada of healing beyond an
addiction, nor in place of all the counseling skills and self awareness
one can muster, just natural symptom support, OK?

(L-)Theanine in 100-150mg size capsules,
An amino acid found in green tea, stimulates production of alpha waves
helping relaxation and sense of well being about 40 minutes after
ingestion. Helps reverse glutamate induced toxicity in brain cells,
elevates mood and improves learning and concentration. Helps increase
levels of GABA and dopamine in the brain. All this goes the opposite
direction from being dope sick.
Lithium Orotate-120mg tablets(4.3mg elemental Lithium),
Lithium at 10-20mg. elemental per day seems to improve synaptic responses
and both protect and renew brain cells. Improvements in chemical
dependency, gout, cluster headaches and fibromyalgia are noted. The
orotate form is very absorbable across the blood brain barrier. See the
newsletter Nutrition and Healing at www.wrightnewsletter.com for more
detail. This seems to help with nervous system rebuilding which again is
the opposite side of the coin from going through withdrawal.
GABA(Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) as pills or powder, a dose being
500mg., and,
This is the real deal, amino acid and straight neurotransmitter in the
brain.  It is pushed around and imitated by many drugs legal and
otherwise, with varied obvious results in mental effects. If in balance
and available, the brain uses it for calming, growth hormone releasing,
and anti-anxiety functions.
Dosing is an art form because we each have different digestive systems
that absorb it differently. That’s why tapering it up and down and being
willing to drop it away every month or so for a few weeks will help keep
it a useful supplement. All brain chemicals can become shut out of
digestion over time as our bodies need to protect the levels in “high
command” CNS.
DMAE (DiMethylAmino Ethanol)-the Twinlabs liquid drops with 100mg
dose(has 100 doses per bottle). Source of Choline that directly helps
acetylcholine levels in the brain increase. Those effects of
acetylcholine are known to students of physiology as great for the brain
and body to be normal. Too much is uncomfortable, too little is
exhausting and maddening. Chronic stress and injury burns up ACH. This
wicked tasting liquid was a favorite for medical students because it
helps bring back short term memory and concentration in a few days for a
burned out student. Probably many of us passed more exams than we should
have by using it as help.

That’s it. Another word-dense post from Dr. Tom. These are pretty complex
subjects, so I can’t put them across any easier or more concise than this.
I would if I could. Do keep me posted if you have other “tricks” that
work, or comments on using these ideas. Best of luck to you all.

Julia, Toronto sounds very hip.  The volunteer work sounds like a fine
idea.  You’ll have a lot of fun, too.

Dr. Tom

As my friend and former High Times Editor in Chief Steven Wishnia put it
when forwarding this article to me and others:

Not exactly accurate, but interesting.
I wonder if the source is in management–people have been
getting high on the job at HT since the era of typewriters
and rubber cement, and it didn’t hurt sales.<

I’m very curious as to who it was who told the Daily News that “They [HT]
haven’t filed for bankruptcy yet, but they’re in dire straits because the
staff spends the day smoking pot on the back patio…Morale is low. They’re
thinking it could fold any day now,” because it’s complete and utter
bullshit. Morale isn’t “low” at the magazine. If anything, it’s a lot higher
than it’s been for months and months as near as I can tell. And if this
paper think the staff is doing a lot of smoking nowadays, they’re completely
deluded and stupid, not to mention misinformed. There used to be a lot of
smoking ongoing around the place, but that hasn’t been the case for quite
some time now, since they moved to new offices actually. And even if it were
the case, that would be about the very last reason there might be any stress
around the office. Pot smoking has never ever meant that things went
downhill at the magazine- some ill-thought-out decisions pertaining to
magazine direction and content, as well as the federal raids on glass pipe
manufacturers noted in the article (one thing they got right, and it’s a
direct quote) have contributed to somewhat leaner days at the mag, but it’s
going strong, as far as I know from my own connection to the magazine. Of
course, I’ll be eating crow if they fold at some point in the near future,
but I’ve heard exactly nothing even close to that being mentioned as a
possible event by those who would know these things.

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/239046p-205142c.html

Is mag high and dry?

Is “High Times” magazine going up in smoke? According to a Lowdown spy close
to the venerable stoner monthly, the mag is so broke that editors have
started looking for jobs elsewhere.
“They haven’t filed for bankruptcy yet, but they’re in dire straits because
the staff spends the day smoking pot on the back patio,” said the spy.
“Morale is low. They’re thinking it could fold any day now.”
High Times publisher Richard Stratton conceded that some of the 20 staffers
at the mag’s headquarters at Park Ave. and 28th St. sample their stash
during business hours, but insisted that profits were not just a
hallucination.
“We’re fiscally healthy and profitable,” Stratton said. “The pot-smoking on
the back fire escape has been going on, but the magazine is not broke. A lot
of people make money out of the magazine.”
But Stratton added: “With the latest government assault on paraphernalia,
Operation Pipe Dreams, we lost a third of our advertisers. And that hurts.
But we’re beginning to get them back now, and others. The brand is 30 years
old and world-renowned.”
Co-editor in chief Steve Bloom also insisted that somebody was trying to
sell Lowdown some bunk stuff: “We’ve had some changes, some ups and downs
with our sales figures, but it hasn’t put us to the point where we’re going
out of business.”
High Times, which has a monthly circulation of about 130,000, made news last
year when it hired Norman Mailer’s son John Buffalo Mailer as executive
editor. Mailer has since relocated to the magazine’s entertainment division
as veep of development, and did not respond to Lowdown’s E-mail yesterday.

As regards my being with V, you said a mouthful here Jasen.
We’ve been together as a couple for 8 years this Halloween. I’ve been on
and
off hard drugs during that time, both legal and non-legal both. Some
people
find once getting “clean” they can’t be in their releationship any

but in my own case, I feel I couldn’t be in a better situation with a

she
does occasionally smoke pot, eat shrooms and drink alcohol, she isn’t a
“druggie” in the sense. So she doesn’t lead me astray in that/those
ways.
Most importantly, she loves me more than anyone ever has in my entire
life
I
firmly believe, and I appreciate that a lot. She puts up with, and has
put
up with, more bullshit from me than anyone, with most everyone else ever
in
my life giving up on me after a lot less bullshit- even my adoptive
parents
gave up on me and kicked me out half way through my senior year of high
school, and they were putting up with a LOT LESS bullshit from me than
many
others have since. V is the first person to see through all my crap and
force me in so many ways to address the bullshit, to change those parts
of
me I can and really want(ed) to, without my kicking and screaming the
whole
way- except for my cigarette habit of course- and to further strengthen
and
build those parts of me which aren’t destructive and damaging to myself
or
her. As I wrote in the acknowlegements (a dream of mine which I’ve now
fullfilled- how cool is that, to know I’ve concretely fullfilled one of
my

thin.” (I’ve wanted to thank her publicly for a long time, but putting
her

least
4
other countries- and hopefully by a few people who gave up on me in the
past. Again, how cool is that? In my book, it’s very cool, if you’ll
excuse
the weakass pun.)
I wish for everyone the chance to one day experience at least some

awesome, funny how things will reveal them selves in ways beyond 5 senses.  Things that just click.  I cant wait to hear how it all goes.  In my experience, I wouldnt’ sprint at the sign of the first pattern.  Good Luck and please post as often as you feel comfortable, it helps more then it may appear.

Mindvoxians, I can’t sleep after everything in my head is moving in 7/8 time to a rumba beat in 4/4 time. Its hard to explain but I know it beats the holy shit out of everything else I have tried, bar none. The withdrawals are virtually non existent. I’ve never experienced any thing so magical. I thought I might share a vision I experienced if you would so indulge me. While I was in the  thick of it I asked the pygmie (yea I saw a pygmie) what It would look like on earth from space and they showed me. I statred out hovering about 50 feet off the ground looking down and consintrating on a specific spot and we blasted off. The spot on earth instantly was way down there and we were going up faster and faster and as we broke into space we hesitated for just a secound and then it was warp drive and I watched as earth became very distant. I was right in the space ship. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. It gave me the feeling that we are just specks in the universe. Nothing special. It was never ever scary in the least bit for me. 6 days no withdrawals. Its a miracle. I hope it lasts. I know what to do if it doesn’t. I’m not looking to do it any more for quite a while but I’m kicking the methadone plague and it just might take a secound time. O yea, one bit of advise, lay as still as you can when you do it.I didn’t and paid dearly in the bucket a couple of times. Dramamine works pretty good for me too. Took a pretty good booster today and was never sick. I was eating four hours later. The Ibogaine told me to go eat so I did and never felt nauseous at all. Now I’m starving, I can’t get enough grapes and juice tastes especially good. All in all, it was a great experience. Peace             Randy

Dear Julie,
Wow,thankyou for all those kind words you made my day.
Herbs,like other medicines,(with some of the herbs anyway)
are given for specific reason’s.

A herb for me might not be the ideal herb for you,and the strength varies.
Yes,most antiaddictive herbs work for all,however the strength
differs.
I have asked my sister exactly what herbs she is giving me,
I will get back to you on that.Dr Tom was kind enough to help
you.
I would find a very good herbalist/naturapath that has had
many years experience,as it sounds like Dr Tom has,
and get them to do your case study,how you are feeling,
thinking,craving,crying,laughing ect ect.
I will get back to you on what I am taking.

As others have suggested,get comfortable for now if
you are preparing to get Ibogaine treatment.

Don’t make the same mistakes as I keep on making,reducing
reducing,feeling like using,wanting to get off the ‘done,keep reducing
then Arrrrgh F”k, use and use,then use because of feeling of sheer
hoplessness,
not wanting to go back up on my done,thinking of all the shit I went through
to get to
a low dose and not wanting to go back up untill you finally give in and end
up on double your
dose.Then thinking I have to get back down again and being in a hurry and
the cycle
continues.

I will be seeing Sara soon,my loan has finally been approved,
just waiting for the funds to be put into an account.These banks are
something else,what
should take 6 or 7 days takes 6 or 7 weeks.
The day the funds are here is the day I will call and speak to THE Ibogaine
founder
Howard and of course Sara on the phone.
I am very interested to hear more from Randy on his experiences and
I hope Sean is doing well.I don’t know these guys but can understand SOME of
what they have been through and would love to hear more from them and others
on their experiences with Ibogaine.
Smiles Jasen.

Dear Jasen and all- detox/antidepressant herbs

Hi Jasen,

Thanks for putting it into perspective- you’re great!
I was wondering, besides St. John’s Wort and 5-HTP,
what other kinds of herbs do you use for withdrawal?
My herbalist in Kensington Market gave me red clover
leaf, and two other substances(??), which I made into
tea.

The withdrawal I feel is NOT the full out, haven’t had
a drink for 1 week withdrawal, but the minor kind:
bouts of insomnia, depression, feeling like a ‘pin
cushion'(just like Frenchy!), abdominal discomfort,
hot/cold flashes…  I mean, how the f*ck are we ever
supposed to get off a drug that literally ‘hijacks’
our bodies?  No wonder the relapse rate is so high-
what non-user would put up with this for months?

Sorry for the rant…you are a cool dude, Jasen- I dig
your vibe, and hope Aus is treating you well!  Jasen,
may I ask what your current dose is?

luv Julie

Randy,Julian,Julie,Jason and MindVox:

Here’s the link to some great mp3 files on Bwiti Music.  Great pictures
and story too(copy the long URL in exactly to get there):
http://www.musictherapyworld.de/modules/mmmagazine/showarticle.php?articletoshow=63&language=en

Congratulations on your “Ibo 1.0” Randy, I’ve noticed recurrent African
themes and images from my time there and that of clients. Pygmies, tribal
scenes,verdant jungle landscapes, drumming,thrumming sonic tracks, and
Bwiti herself, usually as a slim, sprightly, 20-40 something,Black lady,
funny/heavy presence, often masked or shadowed. Must be some plant/human
DNA psychic resonance thang we all share, ya think?

Julie, some natural medicines beyond those Jasen mentioned are available.
These help at balancing out the brain chemicals so often whacked by
addictive drugs(with some lifestyle, nutritional risks that klingon with
them). 2 Herbs that help in addition to the St. John’s wort are Kava Kava
and PassionFlower(Passiflora).  What I’m finding leverages things better
as before treatment, or during,after withdrawal are the following.  The
net will help you locate them:

(L-)Theanine in 100-150mg size capsules,
Lithium Orotate-120mg tablets(4.3mg elemental Lithium),
GABA(Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) as pills or powder, a dose being 500mg., and,
DMAE (DiMethylAmino Ethanol)-the Twinlabs liquid drops with 100mg dose(has
100 doses per bottle).

Start to use all these together at the same time.Take the 2 pills with
some water (a cup or less)with the powdered GABA(500mg.) and the drops of
DMAE(100mg worth) in it for 3 times every day, about an hour away from
food. Best times I would think would be 3PM, 8 PM, and before bed.  It
won’t taste great. (These doses and times are guesstimates, work with your
provider and inner healer to tune for you).

After a few days of this,regardless of where the methodone use is, start
to stretch the Methadone out to only when and how much you need. Don’t go
through suffering or discomfort if you need the Methadone, especially if
you have an Ibogaine session coming. That will do the “heavy lifting” of
helping you plug those receptors with the noribo metabolite. This way you
sidestep most of the withdrawal misery.  Other providers more experienced
with MMT than I describe a prolonged period of nursing after long, high
MMT levels. These nutrient supplements would only help that process.

It isn’t all Chemistry 101, this treatment strategy, like maybe you should
“buy 2 kittens, feed them and call me after the weekend” during that
re-integration phase. Wake up your love for others and depression tends to
lighten and fade as well.

Dr. Tom

Hey list,

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but I
stumbled across this brief abstract:

http://opioids.com/surgery/index.html

Apparently, the aim of this study is to “… explore a
new way of treating drug addiction by ablating the
nucleus accumbens…”.  In other words, let’s remove a
small portion of your brain, and ((PRESTO)),
apparently you won’t want to do drugs any more!

Is anyone else as disturbed by this as I am?  Or am I
being paranoid?  It just seems a little drastic,
hailing back to the days of using a lobotomy to “cure”
various types of mental illness.

I’m so glad you had a kick-ass experience.  Hearing
your story gives me faith in respects to trying Ibo
for the second time.

Yes, the visuals ARE amazing, and NO, it is unlike any
other type of substance I have tried.  It is a
PROFOUND sacrament.

You never experienced ANY withdrawal?  Wow, that is so
cool!  May I ask how much you took?  Anything else you
can tell me about your experience would be GREATLY
appreciated!

luv Julie

Loved the photos Preston.  My partner Wayne reckoned V looked lovely.  Think you hit the nail on the head with your relationship especially the bit about being friends.  When things get rough, you are hanging out or sick etc. then friendship and genuine concern is what gets you through, plus a good dose of humour thrown in and for me and probably you from your letters our animal companions.  Allison

As regards my being with V, you said a mouthful here Jasen.
We’ve been together as a couple for 8 years this Halloween. I’ve been on and
off hard drugs during that time, both legal and non-legal both. Some people
find once getting “clean” they can’t be in their releationship any longer,
but in my own case, I feel I couldn’t be in a better situation with a better
lover/friend than I am in being with V. She rocks my world, and while she
does occasionally smoke pot, eat shrooms and drink alcohol, she isn’t a
“druggie” in the sense. So she doesn’t lead me astray in that/those ways.
Most importantly, she loves me more than anyone ever has in my entire life I
firmly believe, and I appreciate that a lot. She puts up with, and has put
up with, more bullshit from me than anyone, with most everyone else ever in
my life giving up on me after a lot less bullshit- even my adoptive parents
gave up on me and kicked me out half way through my senior year of high
school, and they were putting up with a LOT LESS bullshit from me than many
others have since. V is the first person to see through all my crap and
force me in so many ways to address the bullshit, to change those parts of
me I can and really want(ed) to, without my kicking and screaming the whole
way- except for my cigarette habit of course- and to further strengthen and
build those parts of me which aren’t destructive and damaging to myself or
her. As I wrote in the acknowlegements (a dream of mine which I’ve now
fullfilled- how cool is that, to know I’ve concretely fullfilled one of my
long-time dreams- actually fullfilling a number of them with the publishing
of UTI) in UTI, she’s my muse “for bettter or worse, through thick and
thin.” (I’ve wanted to thank her publicly for a long time, but putting her
name in some book or other, and now I have, which will be read in at least 4
other countries- and hopefully by a few people who gave up on me in the
past. Again, how cool is that? In my book, it’s very cool, if you’ll excuse
the weakass pun.)
I wish for everyone the chance to one day experience at least some of
what I have in being with V, that everyone finds that special person who
perfectly counterbalances them. V is in many ways my exact opposite, and in
others my perfect mirror. We fight and bitch and complain at one another
sometimes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way (well, I could always use
less arguing no matter how rare it is), in that if she wasn’t here to bitch
on occasion, who would? Me? LOL, right.
Anyway, back to my point- in my own case, I’m very happy to have someone
with me, who stayed with me and me her even after getting off/on this or
that substance. I plan on being together with her for a long, long time yet
to come, no matter what (knock loudly on wood), but we’re not planning on
signing any marriage papers, nor having kids beyond the four-legged kind. I
think that she bolsters me a lot.

Oh, and I just remembered something. Here’s an excerpt and a link (and
what do you know, I also just remembered that the only photo still existing
of me, fuzzy and blurred just like me then- yeah, “then” lol- in my “strung
out on NYC streets” phase is also included in this story- not taking all the
mug shots into consideration of course-also, I should note that I’m
completely rewriting the book “Something in the Way” that this chapter is
taken from, putting it all back into first person format, in hopes that
sells better than the third-person format I put it in a couple years ago and
got no bite from publishers/agents) to the rest of this chapter, a
description of how I met V and of our first phase “together.” We spent a
good year and a half as friends (and not so friends too at one point, after
I got caught shooting up in the back garden of the building where her Dad
owned an apartment and where she moved to live more cheaply for a few years,
part of which we spent living there together, years later, after her Dad got
past the “he’s 90 pounds of shit 9 in a 10 pound bag” phase in describing
me), me living with her at some points during that time, without our ever
having had sex, even sleeping together in the same bed. We stayed friends
until we were ready to try a real relationship, which I think was one of the
best ideas I ever had, both the waiting, then the decision to give our
relationship a nudge to the next level.
As an experiment, I’m not going to plain text this and see what happens.

Thomas, and has let him crash over once or twice.

Vanessa wonders and worries

Working at a restaurant on Ave. A, she used to see Thomas passing by outside
frequently. When they finally met, she told him she’d been wanting to meet
for some time.

Her apartment is on 11th St., so in five minutes he and Dan are ringing her
buzzer. The first time Thomas had come to her place, it only took a minute
before he was telling Vanessa that he needed to get off, asking did she mind
if he did it there. She’d said sure, not understanding what he’d meant until
he pulled out a rig, shot up in her livingroom, then started talking about
invisible coke bugs, holding out his hands to show her, asking her to check
them out.

“Stop it, you’re scaring me,” she’d finally told him. The pain Thomas felt
when he’d seen her expression, her eyes wide and her hand up to her chest,
like she was trying to ward him off, cut right into the high and enabled him
to stop hallucinating, immediately. Rarely was he able to affect them,
usually having to ride them out until they went away on their own, but this
once he somehow turned them off , or just ignored them rather. That’s when
he’d first had an inkling that Vanessa was special to him in some way. He
didn’t stop getting high around her by any means, but he’d realized he cared
for her as a friend, and didn’t want to scare or hurt her.

Now as he and Dan ring her buzzer, Thomas is more than simply high. He’s
starting to enter into serious fever and infection delirium. The pain in his
elbow has become a thing alive, gnawing at his entire arm in a maniacal
frenzy. He in turn is intent on killing it by shooting more and more drugs,
which keep him awake, unable to sleep and get rest he desperately needs. He
hasn’t looked at his arm since the night before, as it’s so swollen he can’t
get his sleeve off without inflicting excruciating agony. He’s been ignoring
it as best he can.

Vanessa buzzes them in, and they ride the tiny elevator to the sixth floor.
When they open the elevator door, she has her apartment door already open.
As filthy as he and Dan are, she is clean. Just awake, she’s a bit tousled,
but in an entirely different class of messy than theirs. On her it’s
charming, delightful, where as on them it’s disgusting, and smells. She
takes one look at Thomas, immediately steps out and takes his arm in her
hand to help him into the apartment because he is staggering, and looks like
hell. He lets out a horse yell when she grabs him, causing her to jump back.
Then she goes all concerned, insisting he come and sit and let her take a
look at his arm.

While Dan cooks up another shot for them both, Vanessa helps Thomas get his
jacket and many shirts off over his swollen Popeye arm, as she calls it when
she finally sees it. His arm looks fairly normal from his shoulder to just
above his elbow, but below it’s huge, tight and shiny, with streaks of
bright crimson running up and down his arm from his elbow to his wrist.

Once they’ve finally finessed the clothing off and exposed his arm, Dan and
Vanessa immediately begin telling Thomas he really has to go to the
hospital, that he is going to loose his arm if he doesn’t get it taken care
of.

“It was the most painful experience of my life,” says Dan, telling a story
about his own experience getting an abscess cut from his arm in the
hospital, describing it in full-color, gory detail. Through his pain, Thomas
listens to the description of forceps holding open an un-anaesthetized,
scalpel-sliced abscess as a doctor scrapes out the puss and ooze, which
doesn’t help Thomas in the slightest. Now he’s sure he doesn’t want to go to
the hospital.

“No thanks, I’ll stick it out,” he tells them, and does another shot.

Dan eventually takes off, but Vanessa insists Thomas stay and get some rest.
Passed out on the sofa, Thomas doesn’t argue. As he leaves, Dan asks Vanessa
to try to get Thomas into the hospital, then he’s gone. Vanessa lets Thomas
sleep as long as he will, calling in sick to her job. Having met Thomas just
a couple weeks before, she still feels an urge to help him out. She feels
awful watching him destroy himself.

His own groan of pain wakes Thomas. He’s brushed his arm against the end of
the sofa as he slept, and now the infection is beyond ignoring. He can’t
escape it. As soon as he is awake, he does another shot, but it doesn’t
touch the pain. It’s impossible for him to stop moaning about it. Each time
Vanessa brings up the idea of a hospital, he waves her off with his good
hand and continues trying to ignore it. Dan had found a guy selling
Clonopines the day before, a fairly heavy sedative. Thomas begins eating his
share of them on top of all the other drugs in him. Vanessa finally puts her
foot down.

“Get up. We’re going to the hospital.”

“Are you crazy?” Thomas is belligerent, insisting he can’t go to the
hospital. “I’m out of dope. There’s no way I’m going to sit for hours in the
waiting room without any dope. Tell you what. Loan me ten or twenty bucks. I
‘ll go out, score some stuff to take with me, then I promise, I’ll go.” The
fact that his arm looks like an incredibly ugly sausage isn’t enough, nor
the intense pain. Only the loaning of drug money, bribing him to save his
own arm will work. She looks at him like he’s the crazy one, which of course
he is.

Thomas in a haze of pain and drugs

She’s really worried about his arm, thinking he is going to loose it. He
might appear nuts, but she’s pretty sure it’s the drug abuses and
prohibition stresses that’ve made him so. The second time over to her place,
he’d brought a guitar he’d bought cheap off another junkie, and had
proceeded to play and sing for her. He’d sold it three days later, but
still, the thought he might not ever get to play again makes her sad, and
determined to get him to the hospital any way she can. There’s no one else
who can or will help, not even Thomas himself.

Very pleased for you Callie.  I am also going to be a grandmother early Nov.  I’m kind of happy but not all pleased.  I was kinda hoping my daughter would do some other things with her life before starting the baby thing.  She is 23 and doesn’t want me telling her what to do.  She seems happy at the moment but am not sure about the boyfriend.  very possessive etc. and I just have bad vibes for the future.  Anyways am trying to keep the peace and my big gob buttoned as much as I can.  I guess all I can do is be here for her if she needs me.  Best wishes Allison.  PS  It feels weird thinking about being a grandparent when I am still trying to deal with all my own shit but guess thats life and we deal with it.  Allison

Howard, How are you feeling? Reading this excerpt only serves to remind me why I never detox from meth. Maybe it does come down to ‘weakness’ for it is stated that some do get off and stay off, but I never got past the 1-3 day detox. This only because I was put into jail and had no choice, but the experience reinforced my committment to staying on meth or some opiate. Possibly the ibo experience will change this for me. It did for you and some others, but I am very weak when it comes to discomfort via drug withdrawal. I don’t know…….

Thanks for this withdrawal evaluation.

Kaua‘i garden’s research leads to deal to develop anti-AIDS drug from plant

By Paul C. Curtis – The Garden Island

Research done in part at the National Tropical Botanical Garden at Lawa‘i
Kai and Kalaheo on Kaua‘i’s Southshore has led to discovery of an anti-AIDS
medicine that could lead to a cure for the disease.

Dr. Paul Alan Cox, NTBG director and chief executive officer who now has an
office in Provo, Utah, did plant-extraction work at the NTBG laboratory in
Kalaheo when he was here on the Samoan rainforest tree which is also used by
Samoan traditional-medicine healers to treat hepatitis, said Dr. Gaugau
Tavana, director of education at NTBG.

The anti-AIDS drug prostratin comes from a gene in the mamala tree
(Homalanthus nutans), and Cox, also with NTBG’s Institute on Ethnobotany,
played a major role in the discovery of the drug, and helped broker an
agreement announced recently, in Samoa, between representatives of the
government of Samoa and the University of California at Berkeley, to equally
share royalties from any sales of the drug, Tavana explained.

“It’s a landmark for all of us. There’s a lot of research work going on
here,” said Tavana, adding that clinical trials are going on now to see if
prostratin can be a remedy for HIV/AIDS by drawing out the virus in human
bodies so that other medicines and treatment regimens can attack and kill
it.

The work at NTBG in preserving endangered native plants is important because
one of those rare plants could hold the key to curing any number of
diseases, he said. “We’ll never know if it’s extinct.”

There is one mamala tree growing well at NTBG, and scientists there are
waiting for it to produce seeds so that it can be planted more widely,
Tavana continued.

Cox worked with traditional healers in Samoa, where the discovery was made.
“I had a lot of help in this work from Kaua‘i,” Cox said via e-mail from
London where he announced the agreement at the Natural History Museum. “The
chairman of the NTBG Board of Trustees, Douglas McBryde Kinney, granted me
sabbatical from my position as executive director of the NTBG so I can
pursue this research as well as my studies on plant neurotoxins and
neurological disease.

“Chipper Wichman, grandson of Juliet Wichman (who founded the Limahuli
Gardens) agreed to serve as acting director,” Cox said. “The research has
gone so well, Chairman Kinney asked me to continue doing full-time research
by creating a new Institute for Ethnomedicine which will be affiliated with
the NTBG. So on Jan. 1, 2005, Chipper will become executive director.

“In the prostratin work, I have been greatly assisted by Kaua‘i resident Dr.
Gaugau Tavana, education director at the NTBG, who is a Samoan chief, and
who has offered expert advice on Samoan culture and customs, and NTBG
Research Associate Dr. Steven King, who is an expert on plant
pharmaceuticals,” Cox said.

“Dr. Patricia Stewart, a NTBG research associate and physician, has greatly
assisted in field work and interviews. NTBG Research Associates Dr. Sandra
Banack and Dr. Susan Murch have helped me analyze mamala extracts in our
Kaua‘i lab for prostratin,” Cox continued.

“Together we have developed HPLC techniques to determine which mamala plants
are producing the most prostratin. This information will not only help the
Samoan government in selecting the right plants for cultivation, but will
help guide the University of California team in isolating the prostratin
genes,” said Cox.

“NTBG volunteers have also helped, particularly Dr. Jim Douglass, who helped
design the Kaua‘i lab, and Dr. John Bartelt, a retired head of Hughs lab,
who helped implement our massively parallel super computer at the garden.

“And I am particularly grateful to NTBG Trustee Judy Webb and the Acacia
Foundation, which built the plant-medicine laboratory at the gardens, where
we conduct our work on discovering new plant medicines.

“Most of all, I am grateful to my wife Barbara, who together with our
children lived with me in a thatched fale in remote Falealupo village for an
entire year while I did the ethnobotanical field work that led to the
discovery of prostratin,” Cox said.

“Although there was no electricity or running water in the village, and
although we slept every night on woven pandanus mats, she never complained,
and always helped me with my field collections and interviews. She is a
remarkable woman who demonstrated unique sensitivity to people of different
cultures.”

“This is an important event for the scientific research work carried out at
the National Tropical Botanical Garden, for the island of Kaua‘i, the state
of Hawai‘i, and for the discovery of new medicine from plants found in the
islands,” said Tavana.

Ethnobotany is the study of plants and how they have been used by indigenous
communities.

In Apia, Samoa, the landmark agreement was announced between officials of
the government of Samoa and those at the University of California, Berkeley,
in which Samoan leaders extended their national sovereignty to the gene
sequence for the anti-AIDS drug prostratin, derived from a rainforest tree
also used to treat hepatitis in traditional medicine.

Officials with UC-Berkeley and the Samoan government signed the agreement to
isolate from the indigenous tree the gene for a promising anti-AIDS drug,
and to share any royalties from sale of a gene-derived drug with the people
of Samoa.

The agreement supports Samoan officials’ assertion of national sovereignty
over the gene sequence of prostratin, a drug extracted from the bark and
stem wood of the mamala tree.

The drug currently is being studied by scientists around the world because
of its potential to force the AIDS virus out of hibernation in the body’s
immune cells and into the line of fire of anti-AIDS drugs now in use.

“Prostratin is Samoa’s gift to the world,” explained Samoan Minister of
Trade Joseph Keil. “We are pleased to accept the University of California as
a full partner in the effort to isolate the prostratin genes.”

Despite prostratin’s promise as an anti-AIDS drug, its supply is limited by
the fact that the drug has to be extracted from the mamala tree bark and
stem wood. Researchers in the laboratory of Jay Keasling, UC Berkeley
professor of chemical engineering, plan to clone the genes from the tree
that naturally produces prostratin, and insert them into bacteria to make
microbial factories for prostratin. A similar technology is currently being
explored to produce the anti-malarial drug artemisinin.

“A microbial source for prostratin will ensure a plentiful, high-quality
supply if it is approved as an anti-AIDS drug,” said Keasling, who also is a
faculty affiliate with the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical
Research (QB3) and head of the Synthetic Biology Department at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory.

“We consider the actual gene sequences as part of Samoa’s sovereignty, and
every effort will be made to reflect this fact.”

The agreement, signed by Prime Minister Tuila’epa Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi
of Samoa and UC Berkeley’s Vice Chancellor for Research Beth Burnside, gives
Samoan and UC-Berkeley officials equal shares in any commercial proceeds
from the genes. Samoa’s 50-percent share is to be allocated to the
government, to villages, and to the families of healers who first taught
ethnobotanist Cox how to use the plant.

The agreement also states that officials at UC-Berkeley and with the Samoan
government will negotiate the distribution of the drug in developing nations
at a minimal profit if Keasling is successful.

“This may be the first time that indigenous people have extended their
national sovereignty over a gene sequence,” said Cox.

“It is appropriate, since the discovery of the anti-viral properties of
prostratin was based on traditional Samoan plant medicine.”

The National Cancer Institute, which patented prostratin’s use as an
anti-HIV drug, requires any commercial developer of prostratin to first
negotiate an equitable benefit-sharing agreement with the Samoan government.

“I think that UC-Berkeley could set a precedent both for biodiversity
conservation and genetic research by including indigenous peoples as full
partners in royalties for new gene discoveries that result from their
ancient medicines,” Keasling said.

Keasling and a team of scientists led by Cox traveled to Samoa in early
August to meet with leaders in three Samoan villages where the tree grows.

They obtained the prior informed consent of the chief’s council from each
village to assist in the research in return for a share of the prostratin
gene proceeds. Tavana, a Samoan educator at NTBG, presented a
Samoan-language PowerPoint presentation on genetic engineering in each
village.

A previous royalty agreement on prostratin was signed in 2001 by the prime
minister of Samoa and officials with the AIDS ReSearch Alliance, which is
sponsoring clinical trials of prostratin as an anti-AIDS therapy. That
agreement would return 20 percent of any commercial profits arising from the
plant-derived compound to the people of Samoa.

Keasling and his Samoan collaborators will freeze living cells from the
mamala tree in liquid nitrogen, so that extraction of the perishable RNA can
be conducted in the laboratory.

Then begins the process of tracking down the enzymes that actually build the
molecule prostratin.

Once Keasling has pinpointed the key enzymes and cloned their genes, he
plans to insert the genes into a strain of E. coli bacteria that he has
created to produce isoprenoid compounds like prostratin.

The product of more than 10 years of genetic engineering, the bacterial
factories have already proven useful in producing precursors of the
anti-malarial drug artemisinin, which he hopes to produce inexpensively for
people in the developing world. The process also can be used to produce
flavors and fragrances, many of which also are isoprenoids.

Julie, its my experience that at the level that your at going up or down 5 or 10 wouldn’t make much difference. The Ibogaine should take care of any of the withdrawal. It being methadone that you are kicking makes it a little trickier. A good facilitator knows what to do in any case. I just came down from my ride. It was incredible.     All is well    Randy

Subject: [Ibogaine] Dear Jasen and all

Hi Jasen and all,

Thanks for the kind email(s).  I have a question for
you: do you think there is any point at all to
continuing my taper below 14-15mg?  I mean, 16 barely
gets me through 18 hours, and even then I’m
experiencing minor withdrawal and insomnia.  Is it
just going to get worse, the lower I get, or will my
body get used the the dosage reductions?  Should I
just try to detox again?

Perplexed,

Julie  🙂

***Hi Julie,
If you are feeling uncomfortable,then do not reduce any further yet.
If you are feeling like using,then don’t come down any more,not yet anyway.
As Howard said,wait a couple of months,wait untill you have stabilised.

I understand you are in a hurry,just as I have always been when trying to
come off.
You know what I have learnt over the years,that is DO NOT BE IN A HURRY.

I mean ,..ok,if you were on a ship that was not going to dock for a few
months,I would say
go for it,simply because you would know (mentally) there is no way,no hope
of getting on,
so you just accept it and it becomes easier.But we are not on a
ship,unfortunatley we are all
in the position where if we really really wanted to get on we could,and as
you know it does
not take very much to trigger wanting to use.

This trigger,regardless of how good you are feeling,when coming down,as you
well know,can happen at any time.

I know when I have been coming down,it seems to be that when I get below 25
to 30 mg(5 to 6 ml)
I start to get urges, everything starts to come to the surface to
quickly,all the repressed feelings,everything is to loud
too bright I cry for no conciously known reason,I also laugh easily,sex
drive goes up,sensitivity in everyway
it’s to much to quick,I also start to lose weight,look better and
brighter,people say Wow,you look great,your eyes are so alive and I do.

To everyone else I am thriving,but inside,I am a mess,laugh or cry at the
drop of a hat,frustration,feelings of deep hurt,wanting approval,needing to
be loved unconditionaly, not being understood,heart feels empty,and because
society can not possibly understand,it’s all that much harder, and for a
while I can keep it at bay.Mainly because I no longer associate with people
that use,
not because I have not liked some of my old friends,but because I don’t want
access,or at least easy access anyway.

However,as you know,unless you go to another state or country,you always
seem to bump in to someone,at the most vunerable time(even going away isn’t
foolproof).

So in a nut shell,get comfortable,even if that means going back up a little.
Get comfortable and start(try) to start doing the things that you plan on
doing when you get off ,now.
As many have said before on this list,water is a biggie,and yes I will say
it again,like a stuck record,HERBS.

I understand that when you are coming down or feel like using,herbs are the
one of the last things you
think of,and drinking more water.It’s like,I want to use,not take f…..g
herbs,and water,..I mean come on.But
I tell you,…Hey, herbs make a big difference,and water can help with the
flushes,and energy.Hey,..what’s Ibogaine?
It is also a herb.

Even though my sister is a naturapath and I know myself through experience
that herbs help,I sometimes don’t take them,and then when I snap out of it
and do take them,I tell you what ,it makes a big difference to my energy,
and addictive behaviour.There are also herbs you can use instead of anti
depressents.

If I know the difference herbs make and don’t sometimes take them
myself,what hope do I have of convincing
someone else to start taking them.I suppose we all want a quick fix me up,as
that is what we are used to.

Do it very very slowly,if you feel like to much is being uncovered to
quick,regardless of how strong you think you are,
stop reducing. I could go on and on,but,..well,I’ll stop here for now.

You go girl,you are more magnificent than you can ever   imagine.
You are not alone.
Smiles Jasen.

The attached picture is my grandsons profile from ultrasound! His first picture!
His name will be Cade Mason. Cade is his maternal grandma’s maiden name and Mason is my son’s middle name. My son was named for my grandfather Jack Mason. My son is Patrick Mason though!
Pretty cool names I think! lol! I wanted to name Patrick Jack Mason but his Dad didn’t care for it. We agreed on Patrick Mason.
That was when we could agree! Can’t agree on anything now! hahaha!
I am feeling so much love and serenity!

From Bill Weignberg’s WWIII Report newletter:

IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN: IS BUSH HALLUCINATING?

“A year from now, I’ll be very surprised if there is not some grand square
in Baghdad that is named after President Bush.”

So said high-ranking Pentagon advisor Richard Perle on September 22, 2003.

This quote was brought back into memory by some journalists as the
year-later mark passed (e.g. the Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s “Snark
Attack” column), because things have worked out so dramatically
differently, what with Bush’s own National Intelligence Estimate finding
“trend lines that would point to a civil war.” (AP, Sept. 15) It also
didn’t help that that the intelligence report came just as US dead in Iraq
passed the 1,000 mark. Insurgents control Fallujah and much of the Sunni
Triangle, while battles rage for Baghdad’s Shi’ite stronghold of Sadr City.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has even broached holding Iraq’s
scheduled January elections without first winning full territorial control
of the country. (AP, Sept. 30) The administration has announced that it is
massively shifting funds slated for Iraq’s reconstruction to “security”
efforts. Multibillion cuts were announced in water, sewage and electricity
projects, while Baghdad is already suffering from a hepatitis outbreak.
(OneWorldNet, Sept. 30)

snip-

One possible explanation for Bush’s increasingly tenuous grasp of the facts
is that he is simply hallucinating. The Washington Post reported Nov. 10,
2003 on a conversation between Secretary of State Colin Powell and Abdul
Rahman Al-Rashed, a reporter from the London paper Arab View, in which
Powell said “everybody” in the administration is using the pharmaceutical
Ambien (zolpidem tartrate).

“So do you use sleeping tablets to organize yourself?” Al-Rashed asked.

“Yes. Well, I wouldn’t call them that,” Powell said. “They’re a wonderful
medication–not medication. How would you call it? They’re called Ambien,
which is very good. You don’t use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien.”

The blog Unknown News, which picked up the Washington Post piece, ran a
list of potential Ambien side effects, which included (along with
“dizziness,” “nausea,” etc.) “hallucination.”

In Bush’s efforts to paint rosy scenarios over both Iraq and Afghanistan,
he appears to be getting his facts even wronger than usual. On Sept. 23,
when he held a joint Rose Garden press conference with Iraq’s interim
Prime
Minister Iyad Allawi, he twice claimed that some 100,000 members of the
new
Iraqi army have been trained by the US.

Exhibit one:

“Iraq must be able to defend itself. And Iraqi security forces are taking
increasing responsibility for their country’s security. Nearly 100,000
fully trained and equipped Iraqi soldiers, police officers, and other
security personnel are working today. And that total will rise to 125,000
by the end of this year. The Iraqi government is on track to build a force
of over 200,000 security personnel by the end of next year. With the help
of the American military, the training of the Iraqi army is almost halfway
complete.”

In exhibit two he also evidently gets Iraq and Afghanistan confused:

“Our strategy is to help the Iraqis help themselves. It’s important that
we
train Iraqi troops. There are nearly 100,000 troops trained. The Afghan
[sic] national army is a part of the army. By the way–it’s the Afghan
[sic] national army that went into Najaf and did the work there. There’s a
regular army being trained. There are border guards being trained. There
are police being trained. That’s a key part of our mission.”

(http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/09/20040923-8.html)

This claim also turned up in the Sept. 30 presidential debate, in which
Bush said:

“Uh, first let me tell you that the best way for Iraq to be safe and
secure
is for Iraqi citizens to be trained to do the job. And that’s what we’re
doing. We’ve got a 100,000 trained now [sic], 125,000 by the end of the
year, over 200,000 by the end of this year [sic]. That is the best way.”
(NYT, Oct. 1)

Few journalists noted the discrepancy, but a Sept. 29 AP story stated:
“The
Pentagon says there are 39,000 trained Iraqi National Guard members and
about 4,800 trained Iraqi Army soldiers.”

Maybe Bush was thinking of the number of US troops in Iraq, which
currently
stands at around 135,000 (plus some 25,000 coalition troops), and does
indeed seem poised to expand in the year to come.

(http://www.boston.com/dailynews/273/wash/Prospect_of_U_S_fall_offensive:.sh
tml)

A few more journalists noted Bush’s comment in the days leading up to the
debate that “As a result of the American military, the Taliban is no
longer
in existence.” (Paul Krugman in the New York Times, Oct. 1; Robert Parry
on
Consortiumnews.com, Oct. 2)

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2004/100204.html

Guerrillas from the ousted Taliban regime killed at least 12 soldiers in
Afghanistan’s southern Zabul province on Sept. 30, reported Reuters,
noting
“a sharp escalation of violence ahead of next month’s landmark
presidential
election.” Seven more Afghan soldiers had been killed in Taliban attacks
in
Zabul earlier in the week. Taliban spokesman Hamid Agha told the
Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press agency that the militia was also
responsible for the previous day’s rocket attack on a German peacekeeping
base in the northern city of Kunduz which wounded four foreign troops.
“All
people and forces helping America will come under attack from us,” Agha
said. (Reuters, Sept. 30)

(http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/ISL26355.htm)

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Sept. 30 that “night letters” signed
“The Taliban” have been left on mosque doors in Uruzgan in central
Afghanistan, declaring that “holy war has been declared against the
infidel” and warning that any Afghans collaborating with the US will be
“punished.”

Sponsorship vs. non-sponsorship.

This question often, due to Lord Bill W and friends, comes up during any type of “recovery” from habits of compulsion regarding a specific or various types of substances.  The main characteristic of addiction is continuing in the face of consequence.  So by this definition, “recovery” can be as addicting as the “drug”.  Perhaps, one can be MORE functional with junk feed cells, being able to focus on more important things and ACT on them.  Or without junk, pretend that those same ACTIONS can be done in a reliable, stable frame of mind without a persistent fatigue caused by junk hungry cells.

With Respect, Howard, I hear it says “well 60 days…no way because this person was on 100 mg methadone”.  While in the same post states that everyone is different.
\
I think this comes back to how we define sickness.  The absence of opiates/opioids only, or is it still ‘sickness’ until natural levels of endorphins and friends get back up to par.  Because perhaps what the normal the junkie felt before the rush of junk isn’t the same as the normal s/he feels when stabilized on methadone.  So when a junkie/patient quits, is the reasonable expectation to feel like s/he did stabilized on methadone, or like s/he did before touching anything at all?  Or is their some “is this all there is” depression that sets in that creates the ‘butter knife’ mentality N seems so familiar with.  In other words, “what is normal/” (how do we define non-sickness), and who the fuck thinks they are the appropriate judge to determine that?

I’d like to hear from some of these people who had ‘bad’ habits and quit with ONE dose of ibogaineTM and felt normal (and happily ever after likely as well).  Did they feel like they did “stabilized” or like how felt before heroin or something completely different and did it last.  Did they return to “normal” on dope or “normal” before dope or neither?
I feel sorry for the many who paid hard hustled money to try ibo due to this continuing “information” that literally says “NO WITHDRAWAL”, and I think from my limited experience  cherry picking anecdotal ibogaineTM  experience isn’t science based “fact” (like there is such a thing from a scientific process designed to ignore set and setting).  But cut and splicing sacrament just doesn’t seem to be my path.

With the “indra” extract, it is my impression that it has a reputation for being rather weak extract so I’d say at least 5 g.  I wish I had done about 8 or 9 on my first dose.  Actually, let me rephrase that, ask your provider.  I know that 3g of “indra” for 263mg/day ‘done maybe could have been under dosing just a bit but dead bodies aren’t fun either.  That being said extract seemed much more balanced then extract.  Extract = peeling and eating an orange.  HCL=frozen orange juice concentrate straight out of the can.  In my very limited personal experience.

If you know anyone else who kicked 263 for over a year then ask them too, I’m curious to hear what they have to say, ‘cause I can’t find one person down here who kicked higher doses like that for any length of time with any success.   I have heard of a some dud3 in the thousands lol, 4,000 mg it was lol, “wouldn’t you?”

Maybe I should find a w1up^0x sponsor ; >

Anyways just thoughts,, I was really, really, really wanting a shot last night, and if things don’t improve in my life at a higher rate (no more fatigue, strength to get things done) I don’t see how it won’t eventually happen

“~~~~~~surf the wave~~~~~~don’t be dragged by it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Hey Mark aka Ryan, nothing wrong with sex mahn, I think it’s the best aftercare out there bar none, but sex for just for sex and sex with mutual love are of course different.  As for the other shit, you already know.  And of course guilt is a drain no doubt, and feeds on itself like locust on good intentions.  Drugs are fun.  I guess, just be careful and hope your not having to wait sick too much ; )

Sean, good thoughts with you on your journey.

I’m curious how it went on Friday, good “moon time” on Friday, I wonder if music was right or no pre-made sound was better? How’d it go?
Looking forward to hearing how they go.  Take care all.

U.S. decides plants can be patented

President Bush Today announced sweeping new measures regarding taxability of ‘occult practice’, as well as expanding the patentability of such acts with plants.
The President’s new ‘Wind Act’ has been created in part he says “due to a growing dependence on the now banned drug Vioxx.”  This act will give the IRS authority to itemize acts of worship or compassion.  A $20 gift and a nice sativa should be offered to your local police chief after lighting a candle or you may be subject to arrest.  This should be included with yearly tax return as charity.  “The ‘Wind Act’ for Vioxx patients could do some good.” Bush said today.  “If it’s red push the plunger.” the President added after rolling up his sleeves on the campaign trail.  “So choose a anthem ‘shrug’ or ‘fuck it’.  Because natural resources are like Spaceballs: the toilet paper.  Splicing sacrament’s natural.  Let me introduce you to my 4 assed monkey.”  The Sativa should be offered to a “radio” behind a picture of our Lord Digital in the same fashion the beer was offered to that Jesus Picture in ‘Born In East LA’.  or you can take both ‘matrix’ pills and try to figure ‘em both out.  Howard says to Bill O’ rightwing “it sure does make you ask allot of questions doesn’t it”.  Infinite questions, finite answers.  So are you a clown or a mime? lol

Malefactor of Legion of Doom dead at 34.

JAKE KENYON SHULMAN passed away unexpectedly on September 25, 2004.
Jake was born in Houston, Texas on January 9, 1970.

Patrick not meaning to be insensitive or rude but why does Kenyon get 3
pages in a newspaper just for dying? Last I read he wasn’t even able to
enter the us without being arrested at the airport??? There is nothing
listed at all, for example why does a 34 year old die. Natural causes?
He od’d, they didn’t list that in the newspaper but it’s all over the
usual underground sites.

Ibogaine didn’t work for him did it.

You can count on two months to become normal, after the Ibo. treatment each
day people feel getting better, the worst is the fourth/fifth day due to
leak of sleep and feeling drained, but in the third day they can start
eating slowly.

Dear list,

The Dora Weiner Foundation has now received funding or in-kind donations to
allow attendance the 5th National Harm Reduction Conference.

I’m still working on funding for the American Association for the Treatment
of Opioid Dependence conference for which I have to leave in 10 days.  I have
obtained donations for air trans, hotel and ground transportation but, need
$500.00 for conference registration and about $350.00 for per diem expenses.  It
is very important to have an ibogaine presence at a methadone conference. Any
donations appreciated.  Donations are tax deductible.  Checks should be made
to, Dora Weiner Foundation and mailed to:

Howard Lotsof
President
Dora Weiner Foundation
46 Oxford Place
Staten Island, NY 10301

Any size donation will help.  Thanks.

********

I had a probation violation at 100 mg and was forced to withdrawal on the

outside with only Imodium. I’d done it in jail a couple times and walked

off 80

mg with Jesus, so I think I can give a pretty accurate timetable of

events.

I’ll keep it simple and add bits of advice that I learned in jail and from

experience.

1-3 days: Withdrawal symptoms are fairly mild, watery eyes, yawning, ear

popping, clammy skin, metallic taste in mouth, loose bowels, difficulty

sleeping.

4-6 days: Boom! Acute withdrawal hits somewhere in here just when you

think

it’s not so bad. Liquid diarrhea, back and leg pain, queasy feeling, I

never

vomited from withdrawal and have actually worked at an office job through

the

entire ordeal once I leaned how to cope. At this point the worst thing is

the

absolute shock to the system, very similar to coming down off of a bad

acid

trip. The sense of impending doom sets in. The mind works in slow motion

so

everything coming in is too fast to assimilate. Sleep is impossible. I

highly

recommend taking Immodium AD around the clock to alleviate symptoms,

facilitate even

moments of sleep like rest, and to keep the dysentery at bay. Exercise is

critical.

7-21 days: Every day is worse than the day before, if you don’t believe in

God you should pray to believe, if you do the connection will never be

stronger.

Some jailhouse tricks. Fill up on water and good food, no stimulants like

coffee or tea. At night pretend to sleep even if you absolutely cannot. If

you

don’t get rest you start to have auditory and visual hallucinations. Mine

always

sound like a very busy and noisy cafeteria with the hub-bub of a thousand

conversations. I usually see little white bugs hopping, or things coming

at me

out of the corner of my eye. In my opinion this is the most dangerous part

of

withdrawal, lack of sleep. I was taught by old hands in jail to pretend to

sleep. It actually works, you might get a few minutes here and there, but

it’s

enough to keep the hallucinations in check. In the midnight hours music,

hot

showers, and exercise is a God send. In jail all we could do was run in

place, deep

knew bends, push-ups, sit-up, toe raises, jumping jacks, etc. Forget why

it

helps, it just does. Weird things happen, smells become overwhelming,

copious

amounts of saliva are produced, spontaneous orgasm, the metallic taste can

become unnerving. Of course stick with the Imodium.

21-30 days: Somewhere in here it peaks out and doesn’t get any worse, but

it

doesn’t get much better. What does happen is most people get used to it

enough

that the desperate feeling of doom becomes more commonplace. The diarrhea

eases up. Another thing I remember an old-timer in jail telling me was

that

everything I was thinking and feeling was a result of the drug, just like

getting

high is. It’s not the real me, if I can remember that, I can separate

myself

from the suffering, and feeling of fear. It may sound silly, but it’s

helped

others and me. I became very spiritual during this time, I listened to

spiritual

tapes, watched religious TV, and somehow it helped me. The funny thing

about

this is our guts can be churning and our brains a mass of twisting maggots

from

withdrawal and people that see us can’t tell. We look normal except

dilated

pupils.

30-60 days: Real sleep starts to return, but usually not more than a few

hours on a good night. No matter how many times you go through it, you

just can’t

believe it’s still going on. The best thing I can advise to a person

having to

function in the real world is to take heart in the fact that the people

around us, even our close family can see nothing wrong with us. Our

thoughts are

jumbled and we may say weird things, but we appear to be okay. Regular

exercise

is the best thing to clean the pipes and bring a sense of well being.

Smokers

usually start going back to their previous amount at this time, which in

my

opinion makes it worse. Smoke as little as possible. Around the second

month

tolerance starts dropping rapidly, so be careful if you use.

60-90 days: Things slowly start getting better. Most of the physical

symptoms

are gone except the extreme fatigue. It’s a false fatigue for the most

part,

yes our body is much less efficient with oxygen during withdrawal, but if

we

force ourselves we can move to a higher plane of activity. At first the

stand-up head rushes are more pronounced and this weird electrical, split

second,

brain shut-down occurs now and then, but if we push ourselves to our limit

we can

improve vastly during this time. The bad news is during this time the

memory

of the trauma starts to diminish and cravings can really set in, in a bad

way.

3-6 months: We just know we aren’t right. Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome

lingers. “I’ve ruined my brain.” was the tone of my despair. Fun is a

distant

memory. By this point all but the exceptionally motivated are exhausted

and

convinced that a life without opiates isn’t worth living. Hormones a

starting to

normalize again. Eating and sleeping habits evolve towards a more normal

range.

6-12 months: Screw it. I’m doomed. I’ll never be normal again. I hear a

song

and I get the call of the wild. The smell of a burnt match or the scent of

a

public restroom would ignite insatiable cravings for heroin. I would

actually

feel a hole at the bottom of my throat and the top of my chest, a cousin

to

extreme hunger for food, or a stoneâ ™s through from a nicotine craving.

That maw

of desire would hang there for days. Ultimately I new I was going back, it

was

just a matter of how and when. My time-line ends here. I always gave in. I

never felt normal, not even close. I do now after years of methadone

stability

and a five year taper, but then I was not normal. Then I was sure the end

of my

movie was me slumped over loaded or OD’d.

I’ve know a few that walked off and stayed off. They became devout

Christians

or joined the Nation of Islam. They are few and far between.

———————————
Why Bush Left Texas
by RUSS BAKER

[posted online on September 14, 2004]

Growing evidence suggests that George W. Bush abruptly left his Texas
Air National Guard unit in 1972 for substantive reasons pertaining to
his inability to continue piloting a fighter jet.

A months-long investigation, which includes examination of hundreds of
government-released documents, interviews with former Guard members and
officials, military experts and Bush associates, points toward the conclusion
that Bush’s personal behavior was causing alarm among his superior officers
and would ultimately lead to his fleeing the state to avoid a physical
exam he might have had difficulty passing. His failure to complete a
physical exam became the official reason for his subsequent suspension
from flying status.

This central issue, whether Bush did or did not complete his duty–and
if not, why–has in recent days been obscured by a raging sideshow: a
debate over the accuracy of documents aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes. Last
week CBS News reported on newly unearthed memos purportedly prepared
by Bush’s now-deceased commanding officer. In those documents, the officer,
Lieut. Col. Jerry Killian, appeared to be establishing for the record
events occurring at the time Bush abruptly left his Texas Air National
Guard unit in May 1972. Among these: that Bush had failed to me
et unspecified Guard standards and refused a direct order to take a physical
exam, and that pressure was being applied on Killian and his superiors
to whitewash whatever troubling circumstances Bush was in.

Questions have been raised about the authenticity of those memos, but
the criticism of them appears at this time speculative and inconclusive,
while their substance is consistent with a growing body of documentation
and analysis.

If it is demonstrated that profound behavioral problems marred Bush’s
wartime performance and even cut short his service, it could seriously
challenge Bush’s essential appeal as a military steward and guardian
of societal values. It could also explain the incomplete, contradictory
and shifting explanations provided by the Bush camp for the President’s
striking invisibility from the military during the final two years of
his six-year military obligation. And it would explain the savagery and
rapidity of the attack on the CBS documents.

In 1972 Bush’s unit activities underwent a change that could point to
a degradation of his ability to fly a fighter jet. Last week, in response
to a lawsuit, the White House released to the Associated Press Bush’s
flight logs, which show that he abruptly shifted his emphasis in February
and March 1972 from his assigned F-102A fighter jet to a two-seat T-33
training jet, from which he had graduated  several years earlier, and
was put back onto a flight simulator. The logs also
show that on two occasions he required multiple attempts to land a one-
seat fighter and a fighter simulator. This after Bush had already logged
more than 200 hours in the one-seat F-102A.

Military experts say that his new, apparently downgraded and accompanied
training mode, which included Bush’s sometimes moving into the co-pilot’s
seat, can, in theory, be explained a variety of ways. He could, for example,
have been training for a new position that might involve carrying student
pilots. But the reality is that Bush himself has never mentioned this
chapter in his life, nor has he provided a credible explanation. In addition,
Bush’s highly detailed Officer Effectiveness Reports make no mention
of this rather dramatic change.

A White House spokesman explained to AP that the heavy training in this
more elementary capacity came at a time when Bush was trying to generate
more hours in anticipation of a six-month leave to work on a political
campaign. But, in fact, this scenario is implausible. For one thing,
Guard regulations did not permit him to log additional hours in that
manner as a substitute for missing six months of duty later on. As significantly,
there is no sign that Bush even considered going to work on that campaign
until shortly before he departed–nor that campaign officials had any
inkling at all that Bush might join them in several months’ time.

Bush told his commanding officers that he was going to Alabama for an
opportunity with a political campaign. (His Texas Air National Guard
supervisors–presumably relying on what Bush told them–would write in
a report the following year, “A civilian occupation made it necessary
for him to move to Montgomery, Alabama.”) But the timing of Bush’s decision
to leave and his departure–about the same time that he failed to take
a mandatory annual physical exam–indicate that the two may have been
related.

Campaign staff members say they knew nothing of Bush’s interest in participating
until days before he arrived in Montgomery. Indeed, not one of numerous
Bush friends from those days even recalls Bush talking about going to
Alabama at any point before he took off.

Bush’s behavior in Alabama suggests that he viewed Alabama not as an
important career opportunity but as a kind of necessary evil.

Although his role in the campaign has been represented as substantial
(in some newspaper accounts, he has been described as the assistant campaign
manager), numerous campaign staffers say Bush’s role was negligible,
low level and that he routinely arrived at the campaign offices in the
afternoon hours, bragging of drinking feats from the night before.

According to friends of his, he kept his Houston apartment during this
period and, based on their recollections, may have been coming back into
town repeatedly during the time he was supposedly working full-time on
the Alabama campaign. Absences from the campaign have been explained
as due to his responsibilities to travel to the further reaches of Alabama,
but several staffers told me that organizing those counties was not
Bush’s de facto responsibility.

Even more significantly, in a July interview, Linda Allison, the widow
of Jimmy Allison, the Alabama campaign manager and a close friend of
Bush’s father, revealed to me for the first time that Bush had come to
Alabama not because the job had appeal or because his presence was required
but because he needed to get out of Texas. “Well, you have to know Georgie,
” Allison said. “He really was a totally irresponsible person. Big George
[George H.W. Bush] called Jimmy, and said, he’s killing us in Houston,
take him down there and let him work on that campaign…. The tenor
of that was, Georgie is in and out of trouble seven days a week down
here, and would you take him up there with you.”

Allison said that the younger Bush’s drinking problem was apparent. She
also said that her husband, a circumspect man who did not gossip and
held his cards closely, indicated to her that some use of drugs was involved.
“I had the impression that he knew that Georgie was using pot, certainly,
and perhaps cocaine,” she said.

Now-prominent, established Texas figures in the military, arts, business
and political worlds, some of them Republicans and Bush supporters, talk
about Bush’s alleged use of marijuana and cocaine based on what they
say they have heard from trusted friends. One middle-aged woman whose
general veracity could be confirmed told me that she met Bush in 1968
at Hemisfair 68, a fair in San Antonio, at which he tried to pick her
up and offered her a white powder he was inhaling. She
was then a teenager; Bush would have just graduated from Yale and have
been starting the National Guard then. “He was getting really aggressive
with me,” she said. “I told him I’d call a policeman, and he laughed,
and asked who would believe me.” (Although cocaine was not a widespread
phenomenon until the 1970s, US authorities were struggling more than
a decade earlier to stanch the flow from Latin America; in 1967 border
seizures amounted to twenty-six pounds.)

Bush himself has publicly admitted to being somewhat wild in his younger
years, without offering any details. He has not explicitly denied charges
of drug use; generally he has hedged. He has said that he could have
passed the same security screening his father underwent upon his inauguration
in 1989, which certifies no illegal drug use during the fifteen preceding
years. In other words, George W. Bush seemed to be saying that if he
had used drugs, that was before 1974 or during the period in which he
left his Guard unit.

The family that rented Bush a house in Montgomery, Alabama, during that
period told me that Bush did extensive, inexplicable damage to their
property, including smashing a chandelier, and that they unsuccessfully
billed him twice for the damage–which amounted to approximately $900,
a considerable sum in 1972. Two unconnected close friends and acquaintances
of a well-known Montgomery socialite, now deceased, told me that the
socialite in question told them that he and Bush had been partying that
evening at the Montgomery Country Club, combining drinking
with use of illicit drugs, and that Bush, complaining about the brightness,
had climbed on a table and smashed the chandelier when the duo stopped
at his home briefly so Bush could change clothes before they headed out
again.

It is notable that in 1972, the military was in the process of introducing
widespread drug testing as part of the annual physical exams that pilots
would undergo.

For years, military buffs and retired officers have speculated about
the real reasons that Bush left his unit two years before his flying
obligation was up. Bush and his staff have muddied the issue by not providing
a clear, comprehensive and consistent explanation of his departure from
the unit. And, peculiarly, the President has not made himself available
to describe in detail what did take place at that time. Instead, the
White House has adopted a policy of offering obscure explanations by
officials who clearly do not know the specifics of what went on, and
the periodic release of large numbers of confusing or inconclusive documents-
-particularly at the start of weekends and holiday periods, when attention
is elsewhere.

In addition, the Bush camp has offered over the past few years a shifting
panoply of explanations that subsequently failed to pass muster. One
was that Bush had stopped flying his F-102A jet because it was being
phased out (the plane continued to be used for at least another year).
Another explanation was that he failed to take his physical exam in 1972
because his family doctor was unavailable. (Guard regulations require
that physicals be conducted by doctors on the base, and would have been
easily arranged either on a base in Texas or, after he left the state,
in Alabama.)

One of the difficulties in getting to the truth about what really took
place during this period is the frequently expressed fear of retribution
from the Bush organization. Many sources refuse to speak on the record,
or even to have their knowledge communicated publicly in any way. One
source who did publicly evince doubts about Bush’s activities in 1972
was Dean Roome, who flew formations often with Bush and was his roommate
for a time. “You wonder if you know who George Bush is,” Roome told USA
Today in a little-appreciated interview back in 2002. “I think he digressed
after awhile,” he said. “In the first half, he was gung-ho. Where George
failed was to fulfill his obligation as a pilot. It was an irrational
time in his life.” Yet in subsequent years, Roome has revised his comments
to afirm insistence that nothing out of the ordinary took place at that
time, and after one interview he e-mailed me material raising questions
about John Kerry’s military career. Roome, who operates a curio shop
in a Texas hamlet, told me that Bush aides, including communications
adviser Karen Hughes, and even the President himself stay in touch with
him.

Several Bush associates from that period say that the Bush camp has argued
strenuously about the importance of sources backing the President up
on his military service, citing patriotism, personal loyalty and even
the claim that he lacks friends in Washington and must count on those
from early in his life.

In 1971 Bush took his annual physical exam in May. It’s reasonable to
conclude that he would also take his 1972 physical in the same month.
Yet according to official Guard documents, Bush “cleared the base” on
May 15 without doing so. Fellow Guard members uniformly agree that Bush
should and could have easily taken the exam with unit doctors at Ellington
Air Force Base before leaving town. (It is interesting to note that if
the Killian memos released by CBS do hold up, one of them, dated May
4, 1972, orders Bush to report for his physical by May 14–one
day before he took off.)

Bush has indicated that he departed from Ellington Air Force Base and
his Guard unit because he had been offered an important employment opportunity
with a political campaign in Alabama. The overwhelming evidence suggests,
however, that the Alabama campaign was a convenient excuse for Bush
to rapidly exit stage left from a Guard unit that found him and his behavior
a growing problem. If that’s not the case, now would be an excellent
time for a President famed for his superlative memory to sit down and
explain what really happened in that period.

Or better yet everyone else in the world – “.. this fucking sucks.”

Dear list,

The is particularly directed to providers with broad ranging experience

but,

patient are welcome to respond as well.

The questions is what physiological opioid withdrawal signs have been seen

in

methadone patients taking 100mg/day or approximately that dose treated

with

ibogaine sixty days after treatment ibogaine treatment?

You will find below a description of methadone withdrawal signs without

ibogaine therapy. That is provided for your information though it is only

the

description by a single by well versed person.

Looking forward to responses to my 60 day question.  Particularly as to

physiological opioid withdrawal signs.  Thanks.

********

I had a probation violation at 100 mg and was forced to withdrawal on the

outside with only Imodium. I’d done it in jail a couple times and walked

off 80

mg with Jesus, so I think I can give a pretty accurate timetable of

events.

I’ll keep it simple and add bits of advice that I learned in jail and from

experience.

1-3 days: Withdrawal symptoms are fairly mild, watery eyes, yawning, ear

popping, clammy skin, metallic taste in mouth, loose bowels, difficulty

sleeping.

4-6 days: Boom! Acute withdrawal hits somewhere in here just when you

think

it’s not so bad. Liquid diarrhea, back and leg pain, queasy feeling, I

never

vomited from withdrawal and have actually worked at an office job through

the

entire ordeal once I leaned how to cope. At this point the worst thing is

the

absolute shock to the system, very similar to coming down off of a bad

acid

trip. The sense of impending doom sets in. The mind works in slow motion

so

everything coming in is too fast to assimilate. Sleep is impossible. I

highly

recommend taking Immodium AD around the clock to alleviate symptoms,

facilitate even

moments of sleep like rest, and to keep the dysentery at bay. Exercise is

critical.

7-21 days: Every day is worse than the day before, if you don’t believe in

God you should pray to believe, if you do the connection will never be

stronger.

Some jailhouse tricks. Fill up on water and good food, no stimulants like

coffee or tea. At night pretend to sleep even if you absolutely cannot. If

you

don’t get rest you start to have auditory and visual hallucinations. Mine

always

sound like a very busy and noisy cafeteria with the hub-bub of a thousand

conversations. I usually see little white bugs hopping, or things coming

at me

out of the corner of my eye. In my opinion this is the most dangerous part

of

withdrawal, lack of sleep. I was taught by old hands in jail to pretend to

sleep. It actually works, you might get a few minutes here and there, but

it’s

enough to keep the hallucinations in check. In the midnight hours music,

hot

showers, and exercise is a God send. In jail all we could do was run in

place, deep

knew bends, push-ups, sit-up, toe raises, jumping jacks, etc. Forget why

it

helps, it just does. Weird things happen, smells become overwhelming,

copious

amounts of saliva are produced, spontaneous orgasm, the metallic taste can

become unnerving. Of course stick with the Imodium.

21-30 days: Somewhere in here it peaks out and doesn’t get any worse, but

it

doesn’t get much better. What does happen is most people get used to it

enough

that the desperate feeling of doom becomes more commonplace. The diarrhea

eases up. Another thing I remember an old-timer in jail telling me was

that

everything I was thinking and feeling was a result of the drug, just like

getting

high is. It’s not the real me, if I can remember that, I can separate

myself

from the suffering, and feeling of fear. It may sound silly, but it’s

helped

others and me. I became very spiritual during this time, I listened to

spiritual

tapes, watched religious TV, and somehow it helped me. The funny thing

about

this is our guts can be churning and our brains a mass of twisting maggots

from

withdrawal and people that see us can’t tell. We look normal except

dilated

pupils.

30-60 days: Real sleep starts to return, but usually not more than a few

hours on a good night. No matter how many times you go through it, you

just can’t

believe it’s still going on. The best thing I can advise to a person

having to

function in the real world is to take heart in the fact that the people

around us, even our close family can see nothing wrong with us. Our

thoughts are

jumbled and we may say weird things, but we appear to be okay. Regular

exercise

is the best thing to clean the pipes and bring a sense of well being.

Smokers

usually start going back to their previous amount at this time, which in

my

opinion makes it worse. Smoke as little as possible. Around the second

month

tolerance starts dropping rapidly, so be careful if you use.

60-90 days: Things slowly start getting better. Most of the physical

symptoms

are gone except the extreme fatigue. It’s a false fatigue for the most

part,

yes our body is much less efficient with oxygen during withdrawal, but if

we

force ourselves we can move to a higher plane of activity. At first the

stand-up head rushes are more pronounced and this weird electrical, split

second,

brain shut-down occurs now and then, but if we push ourselves to our limit

we can

improve vastly during this time. The bad news is during this time the

memory

of the trauma starts to diminish and cravings can really set in, in a bad

way.

3-6 months: We just know we aren’t right. Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome

lingers. “I’ve ruined my brain.” was the tone of my despair. Fun is a

distant

memory. By this point all but the exceptionally motivated are exhausted

and

convinced that a life without opiates isn’t worth living. Hormones a

starting to

normalize again. Eating and sleeping habits evolve towards a more normal

range.

6-12 months: Screw it. I’m doomed. I’ll never be normal again. I hear a

song

and I get the call of the wild. The smell of a burnt match or the scent of

a

public restroom would ignite insatiable cravings for heroin. I would

actually

feel a hole at the bottom of my throat and the top of my chest, a cousin

to

extreme hunger for food, or a stoneâ ™s through from a nicotine craving.

That maw

of desire would hang there for days. Ultimately I new I was going back, it

was

just a matter of how and when. My time-line ends here. I always gave in. I

never felt normal, not even close. I do now after years of methadone

stability

and a five year taper, but then I was not normal. Then I was sure the end

of my

movie was me slumped over loaded or OD’d.

I’ve know a few that walked off and stayed off. They became devout

Christians

or joined the Nation of Islam. They are few and far between.

Just to comment on the withdrawal description … .
Since I started heroin I’ve never really been off it.  Right now I’m
thirty three days no heroin and have never gone this far without before.
I didn’t think my habit was bad enough that withdrawal would last more
then a month but I was totally in the dark on that one.  This is some shit
I’ve never experienced before and continually question when the just the
physical (pain/sleep) aspects were going to be eradicated.
This paints a picture.  Not a pretty one.
I’m all about knowing what I get into before I get into it.  To be
truthful, I didn’t know what I was getting into when I started heroin, but
I have a vague idea of what is to come from getting off.

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that the Cannabis Companion book-release party will be Wednesday, Oct. 6, starting around 7 p.m., at:
Bluestockings Books
172 Allen St. (just south of Stanton)
Lower East Side, New York City
www.bluestockings.com
Special added attractions: A short reading by K.j.a. Wishnia, author of 23 Shades of Black, Red House, and Blood Lake. And a musical soundtrack of reefer songs in English, Spanish (“Yo quiero mi pedazo”), Yiddish (“reykher a splifele”), and Patois (“a when yu see mi yeyes and mi yeyes dem red”).
It’s free, but you might want to come with $16.95 to buy the book. I’ll sign it. (I’ll also have copies of Exit 25 Utopia.)
And like I said, if you like it enough, post your raves on Amazon & elsewhere.
Spread the word. Thanks.
-Steve

Here’s the blurb.
The Cannabis Companion (The Running Press) is the most definitive book on marijuana you could fit into 160 pages. It covers herbal history, cannabis customs, bud botany, ganja gardening, and baked brain chemistry in a concise, witty, and vivid style, along with reefer recipes, a glossary of viper vocabulary from “affy bud” to “zol,” and luscious buds flashing their green. How did the ancient Scythians get high? What country has the most stoners? How do you roll a blunt? What did Queen Victoria take for her menstrual cramps? What are the main arguments for keeping pot illegal, and why are they nonsense? It’s all in here.

I have a confirmed report of ibogaine eliminating the need for eye glasses in
a person who had worn them for years.

Ibogaine is antibacterial and therefore it would be easy to understand is
clearing sinus infections that may cause blockage.

Yes, but interesting to find out, if only noribogaine were available
🙂

I only find low dose neurontin useful for sleep if taken in
combination with a benzodiazepine.

Neurontin seems to just *let* me sleep (and give me a strikingly more
restful sleep), as opposed to say trazadone which has more of the chemical
club feeling.

Two other side effects of ibogaine – sometimes it has opened up my sinuses

Hey Mark,

Hang in there – sounds like that same-sex parent thing.. are you in
therapy or other aftercare?

You might want to try checking out a few churches, see if the image of
god-the-father gives some sort of comfort or useful concept for dealing
with your need. My idea is that the big collective of a church conjures
the size of our parents when we are young, with the intention of putting
the image of the perfect parent in place of the imperfect one from real
life. I found that you don’t have to believe literally in the doctrinal
aspects to get this effect. Maybe a huge cathedral, or the friendliness
of a small community church would feed your soul. Just a thought.

Hey,

Glad you took a minute to post.  Remember that in addition to the guilt, shame, etc., that many of us feel because of our use, there is real chemical crash from drugs like meth and coke.  So some of what you are feeling is a “natural” result of the drug use itself.

As for looking for your father, this may be a real insight.  I have found though therapy that as a gay man I have been looking to be what I imagine my father would have wanted in a son: straight, middle class, did I say straight?

But I am not.  My real life father would like to see me alive and happy, preferably with a lover.  I am trying to please a father form twenty years ago, not the living one now.

Anyway, I am taking my next ibogaine treatment tomorrow.  I am drinking a hell of a lot of water, staying close to home, and spending time thinking about my life in preparation for my treatment.

I have been a twenty year survivor of crack.  I have averaged $500-$1000 dollars on a typical run.  The longest I was clean in the last 10 years is six months, some of that spent in a hospital for AIDS related pneumonia (PCP).  For about a year now I have also been using heroin to come down form the crack. I did twice actually end up with a dope habit as a result twice. Last spring I also found crystal in SanFran, and really ran with that(IV).  Not really being in the gay party scene in NY (preferring to use with straight street hustler types) I have reverted back to crack and dope.

I am going into my ibogaine experience two days clean form everything.  I did not readdict myself to dope, so I am not sick.  I look forward to journey within myself. I hope to make this part of process where I mature out in a sense form hard drug use. After treatment I hope to become involved in helping other addicts (especially gay ones) about ibogaine. I also hope to become a more giving person. A deeper person.
I guess I really want to be alive again. Away form the self centered, narrow life which crack and dope have offered.

So again, tomorrow is my next journey.  I will post as soon as I can afterwards about my trip.

One final thing.  Thank you all so much for your support and virtual love. I have met so many fine people as a result of this list, some of whom I have met in the flesh. I hope to meet more of you offline in the coming months. You have been true lifesavers in terms of caring, loving support.  With a real no saccharine sometimes in your face way that I appreciate as well.

See you after my trip!!

With great respect,
sean

Dear list,

The is particularly directed to providers with broad ranging experience but,
patient are welcome to respond as well.

The questions is what physiological opioid withdrawal signs have been seen in
methadone patients taking 100mg/day or approximately that dose treated with
ibogaine sixty days after treatment ibogaine treatment?

You will find below a description of methadone withdrawal signs without
ibogaine therapy. That is provided for your information though it is only the
description by a single by well versed person.

Looking forward to responses to my 60 day question.  Particularly as to
physiological opioid withdrawal signs.  Thanks.

Howard
********

I had a probation violation at 100 mg and was forced to withdrawal on the
outside with only Imodium. I’d done it in jail a couple times and walked off 80
mg with Jesus, so I think I can give a pretty accurate timetable of events.
I’ll keep it simple and add bits of advice that I learned in jail and from
experience.

1-3 days: Withdrawal symptoms are fairly mild, watery eyes, yawning, ear
popping, clammy skin, metallic taste in mouth, loose bowels, difficulty sleeping.

4-6 days: Boom! Acute withdrawal hits somewhere in here just when you think
it’s not so bad. Liquid diarrhea, back and leg pain, queasy feeling, I never
vomited from withdrawal and have actually worked at an office job through the
entire ordeal once I leaned how to cope. At this point the worst thing is the
absolute shock to the system, very similar to coming down off of a bad acid
trip. The sense of impending doom sets in. The mind works in slow motion so
everything coming in is too fast to assimilate. Sleep is impossible. I highly
recommend taking Immodium AD around the clock to alleviate symptoms, facilitate even
moments of sleep like rest, and to keep the dysentery at bay. Exercise is
critical.

7-21 days: Every day is worse than the day before, if you don’t believe in
God you should pray to believe, if you do the connection will never be stronger.
Some jailhouse tricks. Fill up on water and good food, no stimulants like
coffee or tea. At night pretend to sleep even if you absolutely cannot. If you
don’t get rest you start to have auditory and visual hallucinations. Mine always
sound like a very busy and noisy cafeteria with the hub-bub of a thousand
conversations. I usually see little white bugs hopping, or things coming at me
out of the corner of my eye. In my opinion this is the most dangerous part of
withdrawal, lack of sleep. I was taught by old hands in jail to pretend to
sleep. It actually works, you might get a few minutes here and there, but it’s
enough to keep the hallucinations in check. In the midnight hours music, hot
showers, and exercise is a God send. In jail all we could do was run in place, deep
knew bends, push-ups, sit-up, toe raises, jumping jacks, etc. Forget why it
helps, it just does. Weird things happen, smells become overwhelming, copious
amounts of saliva are produced, spontaneous orgasm, the metallic taste can
become unnerving. Of course stick with the Imodium.

21-30 days: Somewhere in here it peaks out and doesn’t get any worse, but it
doesn’t get much better. What does happen is most people get used to it enough
that the desperate feeling of doom becomes more commonplace. The diarrhea
eases up. Another thing I remember an old-timer in jail telling me was that
everything I was thinking and feeling was a result of the drug, just like getting
high is. It’s not the real me, if I can remember that, I can separate myself
from the suffering, and feeling of fear. It may sound silly, but it’s helped
others and me. I became very spiritual during this time, I listened to spiritual
tapes, watched religious TV, and somehow it helped me. The funny thing about
this is our guts can be churning and our brains a mass of twisting maggots from
withdrawal and people that see us can’t tell. We look normal except dilated
pupils.

30-60 days: Real sleep starts to return, but usually not more than a few
hours on a good night. No matter how many times you go through it, you just can’t
believe it’s still going on. The best thing I can advise to a person having to
function in the real world is to take heart in the fact that the people
around us, even our close family can see nothing wrong with us. Our thoughts are
jumbled and we may say weird things, but we appear to be okay. Regular exercise
is the best thing to clean the pipes and bring a sense of well being. Smokers
usually start going back to their previous amount at this time, which in my
opinion makes it worse. Smoke as little as possible. Around the second month
tolerance starts dropping rapidly, so be careful if you use.

60-90 days: Things slowly start getting better. Most of the physical symptoms
are gone except the extreme fatigue. It’s a false fatigue for the most part,
yes our body is much less efficient with oxygen during withdrawal, but if we
force ourselves we can move to a higher plane of activity. At first the
stand-up head rushes are more pronounced and this weird electrical, split second,
brain shut-down occurs now and then, but if we push ourselves to our limit we can
improve vastly during this time. The bad news is during this time the memory
of the trauma starts to diminish and cravings can really set in, in a bad way.

3-6 months: We just know we aren’t right. Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome
lingers. “I’ve ruined my brain.” was the tone of my despair. Fun is a distant
memory. By this point all but the exceptionally motivated are exhausted and
convinced that a life without opiates isn’t worth living. Hormones a starting to
normalize again. Eating and sleeping habits evolve towards a more normal range.

6-12 months: Screw it. I’m doomed. I’ll never be normal again. I hear a song
and I get the call of the wild. The smell of a burnt match or the scent of a
public restroom would ignite insatiable cravings for heroin. I would actually
feel a hole at the bottom of my throat and the top of my chest, a cousin to
extreme hunger for food, or a stone’s through from a nicotine craving. That maw
of desire would hang there for days. Ultimately I new I was going back, it was
just a matter of how and when. My time-line ends here. I always gave in. I
never felt normal, not even close. I do now after years of methadone stability
and a five year taper, but then I was not normal. Then I was sure the end of my
movie was me slumped over loaded or OD’d.

I’ve know a few that walked off and stayed off. They became devout Christians
or joined the Nation of Islam. They are few and far between.

From the article by Paul Wright
It would have been surprising if Kerry had voted against this
draconian law, since it had been introduced in the House of Representatives
by then Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil, Kerry’s fellow Democrat from
Boston.<

And here’s how that whole mandatory thing happened, as described by then
active participant Eric Sterling.

“Tales of a Recovering Drug Warrior” by Eric Sterling- published in and
excerpted from “Under the Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs” (Out
Oct. 2004), edited by Preston Peet

snip-

In the mid-1980s, reports about the smoking of cocaine base (crack, rock)
were heard by street epidemiologists in Miami and other cities. By 1986
crack use was becoming popular in many cities, including New York, where
crack use was associated with the smashing of car windows and the theft of
car radios and electronics. The sound of car alarms going off in the night
was common. In the early Spring, two or three New York Members of Congress
introduced bills to provide for mandatory sentences for selling small
quantities of crack cocaine.

On June 18, 1986, Len Bias, the star basketball player for the championship
Maryland Terrapins signed a contract to play for the NBA champion Boston
Celtics. That night, back home in the dormitory in College Park, M.D., he
died-drinking alcohol and snorting cocaine. Bias, whose highlights had been
seen on Washington, DC television stations almost nightly during four
basketball seasons, was well known to Members of Congress. Members of
Congress have a basketball court in the House gym, and as keen competitors
themselves, pay close attention to the sport. It is also a subject that any
Member of Congress can talk about with almost any constituent. Members soon
went home for the district work period over the Fourth of July. The Speaker
of the House, Tip O’Neill, was from Cambridge, MA, across the Charles River
from Boston. He heard an earful about the Bias tragedy.

He realized the Democrats could use the public attention to drugs to take
the mantle of toughness from President Reagan and the Republicans, use it to
gain seats in November, even perhaps to take the Senate back for the
Democrats. Upon his return to Washington, he convened the Democratic
Steering and Policy Committee and directed that all House committees begin
at once to assemble the components of a grand anti-drug bill. We were given
four weeks to hold hearings and write the legislation, so that all the
committee work would be finished before the August recess began. This would
enable Democratic members to campaign in their districts about their
anti-drug activities. The staff would assemble the parts and it would be
voted on soon after Labor Day.

Almost immediately, Capitol Hill became a political anti-drug circus. Every
committee began holding hearings on some anti-drug proposal or another.
Every member was issuing press releases about their anti-drug initiative. I
was busy on two fronts. First, the Crime Subcommittee had its complex
legislative projects to conclude before the end of the session, and second,
as the expert on drug law, I was attending the meetings in the Speaker’s
conference room at which all the top Committee staff were reporting on their
anti-drug legislating.

The Crime Subcommittee finished developing the new crime of money
laundering. This was complex because the act was typically a legal act:
opening a bank account, making a deposit, making a withdrawal. What made it
illegal were the circumstances and the intent, and those had to be defined
very carefully to comply with the Constitutional requirement of due process
that a law be clear so a citizen can know exactly what is prohibited and
what is legal.

The crime of money laundering involves the intent to conceal the criminal
origin of the funds; the intent to use the funds to facilitate or carry out
a criminal act; or the intent to conceal one’s true identity or
participation in a financial transaction that involves funds criminally
derived or destined.

[PULL QUOTE- But concealment of identity in a transaction, by itself, should
not make out the offense.]

But concealment of identity in a transaction, by itself, should not make out
the offense. For example, assume that you want to build a large office tower
in New York City covering an entire block. The particular block that you are
interested in may be divided into 80 separate lots. If the current property
owners learn that the neighboring lots are being purchased by the same
person, or for the purpose of building such a tower, they will hold out
selling, knowing that as the block is assembled, the holdouts will receive
offers to sell that are far above the usual market price because they are
holding up the start and completion of the project. To successfully assemble
this block of properties, the developer must arrange for the properties to
be purchased by seemingly unrelated parties. It is critical that you, the
developer (that is the true party in interest) conceal your identity until
all the properties have been purchased. The circumstance of concealment of
one’s identity in a financial transaction should not be enough to create the
crime of money laundering.

Another bill that our subcommittee was racing to complete was a bill to ban
“designer drugs,” that is, all of the various potential chemical analogues
of all of the controlled substances. Congress was trying to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of compounds that had not yet been invented. Again, how
do we comply with the requirement of due process in defining the crime? I
argued that the prohibited new substances should be both chemically
substantially the same as a controlled substance and have an effect on the
brain that is substantially similar to that of a controlled substance.
However, the DEA and US Rep. Dan Lungren argued that only one of those
elements needs to be satisfied. Their approach was tougher, and it
prevailed.

We held hearings on various administrative problems that DEA had that needed
to be fixed.

[PULL QUOTE- Their report was not due until the spring of 1987. But
politically, members of Congress wanted to be tough. They wanted to be able
to say that they were “throwing the book” at high-level drug traffickers.]

In the last week before the adjournment for the August recess, the
Republicans insisted that we report a new bill to increase the punishment
for drug traffickers. The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 had
included the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 that created a US Sentencing
Commission to study the appropriate sentences for federal crimes. The
commission was deeply engaged in the challenge of determining the
circumstances that warranted long sentences up to the maximum penalty of
twenty years for a first offense, and the maximum of forty years that
existed for a second offense. Their report was not due until the spring of
1987. But politically, members of Congress wanted to be tough. They wanted
to be able to say that they were “throwing the book” at high-level drug
traffickers. They wanted mandatory minimum sentences.

For the only time in my experience of over nine years on the staff of the
House Judiciary Committee, we began our process of marking-up a bill in
subcommittee without a hearing, indeed, without even having a bill, or a
draft of a bill, that had been printed and circulated to the public, or to
the interested federal agencies. We were racing the clock and making it up
as we went along.

The general idea was that we would establish two classes of mandatory
minimum sentences: one for the highest level traffickers, and a lesser level
for the mid-level traffickers. Our challenge was to identify such
traffickers in the law. The Controlled Substances Act already had a king-pin
provision, called continuing criminal enterprise. If you supervised as few
as five other persons, and served as the manager of a drug distribution
enterprise that committed at least two violations of the drug law, and you
made substantial income from this enterprise, you faced, since 1970, a
mandatory minimum sentence of twenty years, up to life imprisonment. It
would seem that we had the high-level traffickers-and a lot of lesser
traffickers-already facing long sentences.

I was asked to find quantities that would be indicative of high level
traffickers. At one point, I suggested using DEA’s class 1 trafficker
classification from its G-DEP program. A class 1 trafficker might be
responsible for distributing one hundred thousand doses of some serious
controlled substance each month. But Rep. Romano Mazzoli (D-KY) objected.
There were no drug traffickers in his home town of Louisville, KY, he
suggested, who were trafficking at that levels. Such a level would end up
not being useful there.

Back to the drawing board. I approached Jehru (“Johnnie”) St. Valentine
Brown, the most experienced drug investigator with the Metropolitan Police
Department of Washington, D.C. who had been detailed to the US House Select
Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control to advise it about drugs. Brown was
considered not only one of the most experienced narcotics detectives around,
but a genuine drug expert. He outlined to me various quantities of drugs
that would indicate that one was either a high-level or mid-level drug
trafficker. These were quantities substantially lower than DEA’s class 1
trafficker.

[PULL QUOTE- Brown was not, as he usually testified, a licensed pharmacist.
He had not served as a homicide detective, as he usually testified. Brown
had testified in something like 4000 narcotics cases, and possibly lied in
every one of them.]

Aside from the obviousness of the mistakes we made as the law was applied,
my reliance on Brown’s experience, authority and qualifications were a
mistake that only became clear in recent years. Brown’s expertise was
utterly unchallenged until 1999. Two civil attorneys had been appointed to
represent two drug defendants in the D.C. court. Peter Grenier and Saul
Singer did what they always did when facing an expert witness, they did the
investigation to checkout his credentials. Unlike hundreds of criminal
defense lawyers who had prepared to cross examine Brown, these attorneys
discovered that Brown was not, as he usually testified, a graduate of the
Howard University School of Pharmacy. Brown was not, as he usually
testified, a licensed pharmacist. He had not served as a homicide detective,
as he usually testified. Brown had testified in something like 4000
narcotics cases, and possibly lied in every one of them.

Did Brown lie to me about the quantities of drugs that were indicative of
high-level or mid-level drug traffickers? Perhaps, but it probably didn’t
matter. Members of Congress were intent on using their own judgments about
drugs, even though they lacked any real knowledge of the drug market or any
fluency with the metric system of measurement. Certainly the quantities that
Congress used as the basis to trigger long mandatories were not indicative
of high level trafficking.

The language we were developing provided that distribution of some quantity
of a substance containing a “detectable” amount of a controlled substance
would trigger the mandatory sentence of five or ten years. I knew that this
would mean that accumulating the weight of a number of small packages of
impure, frequently “cut” street-level drugs could get someone a longer
sentence than lesser weight of a package of pure drugs that had just been
imported-when the actual amount of the controlled substance in the first
instance was much smaller than the amount of the drug in the second
instance. The further down the distribution chain, the more frequently the
drugs are cut and the less pure they are. The purity of the drug never
increases as importers deliver to brokers who deliver to wholesalers who
deliver to packagers who deliver to street dealers. I knew that this term,
“a detectable amount” would lead to many injustices in which higher level
offenders would actually receive shorter sentences than many lower level
offenders.

In subcommittee meetings and hearings, when I had an idea like this and had
to communicate it to the Chairman for whom I worked, I usually had to write
it down and pass it to him. I could see that given the speed of this debate,
I would not have the time to write down this point and get the chairman to
read it and act on it before it was too late. Therefore I did something that
I had never done before in a meeting of the Subcommittee- I raised my hand
and sought recognition to speak. In our Subcommittee meetings, my speaking
role was limited to calling the roll in a recorded vote, and announcing the
result. Chairman Hughes was surprised but recognized me. I explained that
the quantity of drugs that triggered the mandatory minimums ought to be the
quantity of pure drugs, and not the weight of the adulterants that are
included. The Chairman turned to ask the DEA’s representative who was
sitting a few rows away for DEA’s opinion. Frank Shults was the long-time
DEA legislative specialist assigned to us. We had worked with him for six
years, and we all liked and respected him. Frank, however, had not been an
agent. Would it be feasible for DEA to determine the purity of a drug sample
and compute the amount of pure drugs in a sample? No, Frank replied, it
would involve new, expensive laboratory procedures. This was not a good
idea. Unfortunately Frank was wrong. The DEA labs routinely reported the
purity of every drug sample they analyzed. Every DEA lab report that an
agent receives states the weight and the purity of the evidence. It would
have involved no change and no additional cost to make this determination.
Frank was simply doing his job, protecting his agency against potential
problems.

[PULL QUOTE- Because of the lack of hearings and inordinate haste with which
this bill was developed, this critical error was never detected or
corrected. Thousands of injustices have followed, especially in LSD cases.]

But because of the lack of hearings and inordinate haste with which this
bill was developed, this critical error was never detected or corrected.
Thousands of injustices have followed, especially in LSD cases.

At least DEA had an observer that we could consult as a question
arose. Unfortunately the advice of a dishonest undercover police officer
could not
be evaluated. We were moving so quickly, we never heard directly or
indirectly from the Judicial Conference, the Sentencing Commission, the
Parole Commission, the rank and file narcotics officers, or the Narcotics
and Dangerous Drug Section of the Criminal Division of the Justice
Department. We didn’t hear from any of the law professors or scholars who
had studied mandatory minimums at the state level, or during the 1950s and
1960s. We didn’t hear from any of the officials of any of the states with
mandatory minimums about their experiences.

We finished our subcommittee markup on Thursday, we rushed the bill to the
full Committee on Friday, and the House soon adjourned for recess.

The House bill provided for a 10 year mandatory minimum (up to 30 years) for
trafficking (or possessing with intent to distribute) at least: 1 kilo of a
mixture containing “a detectable amount of heroin”; 5 kilos of “a detectable
amount” of cocaine (other than cocaine freebase); 2.5 kilos (or 6000
tablets) of a narcotic drug in schedule I or II; 100 grams of cocaine
freebase (crack); 100 grams of a controlled substance analogue (a “designer
drug”); 100 grams of a fentanyl analogue; 946 milliliters (1 quart) of PCP
or 34 grams of pure phencyclidine, or 1 gram of LSD.

The 5 year mandatory minimum (up to 20 years) was triggered by 125 grams of
heroin, 1 kilo of cocaine, 125 grams (or 300 tablets) of a schedule I or II
narcotic; 20 grams of crack; 10 grams of a designer drug; 10 grams of a
fentanyl analogue; 28 milliliters of liquid PCP; 10 grams of pure PCP; or
500 milligrams of LSD.

snip-

And believe you me, the whole sordid tale just gets worse, as Sterling goes
on to describe how Congress did it again in 1988, only the next time, in
’88, they didn’t even have the Len Bias excuse, they did it just to look
tough and mean to their constituents.

Peace and love,
Preston Peet

Two Empty Bottles with Different Labels
John Kerry on Criminal Justice Issues
by Paul Wright <pwright@prisonlegalnews.org>

“Americans on the frontlines — our first responders, military forces,
sheriffs, policemen, firefighters, and civil defense volunteers — must
have
the very best equipment, training and support possible.  Our safety and
freedom are the envy of the world, and John Kerry and John Edwards will
ensure this does not change.  A Kerry-Edwards administration will recruit
more law enforcement and emergency professionals, combat Meth labs and
drug
abuse, and build a stronger judicial and prison system in rural areas.”

The above quotation is from the John Kerry for President web site:

http://www.Johnkerry.com

The issue of felon disenfranchisement, where millions of Americans
convicted of crimes that may or may not have resulted in imprisonment
cannot
vote in government elections, is one of growing importance.  Around the
country, various lawsuits are challenging such laws under various
theories,
so far with mixed results.  Some political pressure, especially by the
black
community, is raising awareness about how this results in dilution of the
black vote and undermines any notion of equality and democracy.  In a
system
that claims to be a democracy, the right to vote should be a fundamental
right.  But the flip side of the same coin is that people who wish to vote
should have candidates who either represent their interests or their views
on given issues.  That a majority of the electorate that can vote chooses
not to may reflect recognition of Jim Hightower’s comment that “If the
gods
wanted us to vote, they would send us candidates.”

One reason for close national and statewide races for federal offices is
the lack of any discernable differences among the candidates.  For people
who are concerned about criminal justice issues, the lack of any
substantial
policy differences among national candidates is most easily seen by the fa
ct
that today no national political figure is publicly opposed to the death
penalty.  For prisoners or families who have loved ones in prison, people
who do not support a police state, the death penalty and the evisceration
of
human and civil rights, the electoral choices between John Kerry and
George
Bush amount to choosing to be beaten to death with a stick or a two by
four.

In 1992 I wrote an article in Prison Legal News about Bill Clinton
interrupting his presidential campaign to fly back to Arkansas to preside
over the execution of Ricky Ray Rector, a mentally ill black prisoner who
had blown most of his brains out in a botched suicide attempt after
killing
a police man.  While George Bush I was certainly a supporter of the death
penalty, he had not had the opportunity to oversee one to prove his
support
of it to the electorate.  Clinton could, and did.  I predicted that based
on
his campaign promises and track record as governor of Arkansas, Clinton
would be a disaster for prisoners, and he was.  However, I didn’t think he
would be as bad as he turned out to be.

President George Bush II’s record on criminal justice issues needs
little
elaboration.  As governor of Texas, he oversaw over 150 executions, his
predecessor Ann Richards began the massive expansion of the Texas prison
system, which Bush completed, and much more.  As president Bush, has
presided over the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, the rape and
torture
chambers of Abu Ghraib, signed the PATRIOT Act into law, and otherwise
done
what American presidents historically do.  But presidents do not act
alone;
they need legislative approval for these things, and John Kerry has been
in
the U.S. senate for almost 20 years.  Plenty of time to amass a track
record
on criminal justice issues.  Moreover, it is not as if Kerry has
questioned
or condemned Bush on these human rights issues.

The Bush campaign has attempted to label Kerry as being “soft on crime”,
just as Bush’s last opponent for Texas governor, Texas attorney general
Dan
Morales (who has since been imprisoned himself on fraud charges), claimed
Bush was “soft on crime.”  However, a review of Kerry’s actual voting
record
and personal history reveals a consistent track record of supporting the
death penalty, mass imprisonment, harsher sentences, limited civil rights
and more importantly, the commitment and ability to both pull the trigger
and prosecute the cases himself.

In researching this article, I called a prisoner rights lawyer in Boston
to ask about Kerry’s record on prisoner rights issues.  He sighed, and
said
“I don’t know the specifics, but I’m sure it’s abysmal.”

In 1986, Kerry voted for H.R. 5484, which enacted the federal mandatory
minimums for drug crimes — this included the infamous 100-1 crack cocaine
disparity where defendants with five grams of crack received a mandatory
minimum of five years in federal prison while possession of five hundred
grams of powdered cocaine resulted in the same five year mandatory minimum
sentence.  It would have been surprising if Kerry had voted against this
draconian law, since it had been introduced in the House of
Representatives
by then Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil, Kerry’s fellow Democrat from
Boston.

Some people in the anti-death-penalty movement appear to believe that
Kerry is opposed to the death penalty.  If he is, it does not prevent him
for voting for its expansion every opportunity he gets.  The same 1986 law
mentioned above reinstated the federal death penalty for so called “drug
kingpins.”  In 1994, Kerry voted for the massive 1994 crime bill that
Clinton had called for.  As I wrote at the time [PLN, Dec. 1994], this
bill
expanded the federal death penalty to dozens of new offenses, including
the
killing of federal poultry inspectors, created new crimes, funded 100,000
police, enacted the federal “three strikes” law, gave the states billions
of
dollars to build new prisons, limited the power of federal courts to rule
on
prisoner crowding suits, eliminated Pell grants for prisoners to receive
an
education and significantly changed the rules of evidence against criminal
defendants and resulted in a massive expansion of police power.  Kerry’s
running mate, John Edwa!
rds, h
as also been a strong supporter of the death penalty.

In 1996, Kerry voted in favor of the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death
Penalty Act (AEDPA) which gutted what remained of federal habeas corpus
law,
as well as expanding the deportation of aliens who had been convicted of a
crime.  The Prison Litigation Reform Act was passed that same year, but it
was enacted as a rider to the budget and thus no separate voting record is
available.

Kerry voted in favor of the PATRIOT Act in 2001, which was a Department
of
Justice ‘wish list’ that had been around for a number of years,
essentially
a continuation of the 1994 crime bill and AEDPA.

As noted above, on his web site, Kerry is calling for more rural
prisons,
which America needs as much as it needs a typhoid epidemic.  When Kerry
says
that America’s freedom is the envy of the world, I don’t recall hearing
people in other countries wish that they had over two million prisoners.
While Kerry may be proud of the fact that with 5 % of the world’s
population, the US has 25% of the world’s prisoners, few countries seem
envious enough to lock up that portion of their citizenry.

Kerry served as a prosecutor for several years in Massachusetts before
running for elected office.  Recently, his four months of service in
Vietnam
as a commander of a Swift patrol boat has come under attack over whether
or
not he exaggerated his combat experience, and over the fact that he was
wounded four times in incidents that never required hospitalization or
medical treatment.  The more significant aspects of his undisputed actions
in Vietnam have been glossed over — namely, that many of the Special
Forces
and CIA commandos Kerry’s boat transported along Vietnamese rivers were
carrying out assorted war crimes, including the torture and murder of
captured civilians and POWs, some of which occurred on Kerry’s boat or in
his presence.  Then Kerry boasts of killing a wounded National Liberation
Front guerrilla who was retreating.  These exploits were laid out in
detail
in the December, 2003, issue of Atlantic Monthly in an article by Douglas
Brinkley called ‘Tour of Duty’!
, a sy
mpathetic hagiography excerpted from the book of the same title.  Rather
than running for president, a case can be made that Kerry should be
indicted
for war crimes.

Both Kerry and Bush II are from wealthy families, and have similar
educations and even memberships in the same Skull and Bones secret society
at Yale.  I guess that is why it is called a ruling class.  On any
substantial policy issue, it is difficult to find any difference between
the
two candidates.  Asked by the New York Times how his policies would differ
from the current regime’s, Kerry replied they would differ in style, but
not
substance.  On criminal justice issues, neither candidate for the
Democratic
or Republican parties offers voters any significant choice beyond being
beaten to death with the stick or the two by four.  Both have
reprehensible
records on this topic.  However, unlike Bush II whose personal
organizational capabilities seem to max out at organizing a keg party,
Kerry
has shown an ability and willingness to kill and prosecute people himself.

If Kerry has any principles or actually believes in anything beyond
political expediency, his supporters have yet to point out what those may
be.  In his two decades in the Senate, he has consistently voted against
the
interests of prisoners and criminal defendants, and in support of state
power and repression.  It is unreasonable to expect that if elected
president he would be any different.  No one in Kerry’s campaign office
would return my calls seeking comment on his positions on these issues.

Both vice president Dick Cheney and president Bush have been convicted
of
drunk driving — twice each.  They employ at least one convicted felon,
Elliot Abrams, in the white house, and won’t tell reporters how many other
felons they employ.  President Bush won’t answer any questions about his
drug use in the past, apparently believing the electorate has no business
knowing if he violated the nation’s felony laws against drug use and
possession.  Of course, if he has not violated such laws, one would think
a
simple denial would suffice.  Yet they condemn Kerry as being soft on
crime
when he is anything but.

Bush’s policies engender opposition, and there is some awareness that he
is little more than a bag man for corporate interests.  Under Clinton, not
only were the rights of prisoners set back decades, there was no
resistance
to it.  When Reagan and Bush I attempted to gut habeas corpus, there was
opposition, and the attempts failed.  When Clinton tried, there was no
opposition, and it succeeded.  The same thing occurred with regards to
“welfare reform.”  It is likely that a Kerry presidency would see a
similar
phenomenon.

Some members of the “anybody but Bush” camp argue that Kerry should be
supported at any cost, but that lowers the bar for all candidates.  The
most
common argument is that at least Kerry supports abortion rights for women.
However, Kerry states he is personally opposed to abortion, and would not
impose an abortion litmus test on any judicial appointments he makes.
This
argument also implicitly assumes that the more than 2 million victims of
mass incarceration in this country, almost all of whom are poor and who
are
disproportionately black and Hispanic and mostly men, are expendable and
of
no consequence, politically or morally — that their liberty, human rights
and families mean nothing and are political fodder to be trashed for
political gain.  Poor, disenfranchised and with no voice anyone in power
seems compelled to listen to, prisoners and criminal justice reformers
have
little choice in the presidential race of 2004.  Two empty bottles with
different labels indeed. !
Take
your pick.

Two Empty Bottles with Different Labels
John Kerry on Criminal Justice Issues
by Paul Wright <pwright@prisonlegalnews.org>

“Americans on the frontlines — our first responders, military forces,
sheriffs, policemen, firefighters, and civil defense volunteers — must have
the very best equipment, training and support possible.  Our safety and
freedom are the envy of the world, and John Kerry and John Edwards will
ensure this does not change.  A Kerry-Edwards administration will recruit
more law enforcement and emergency professionals, combat Meth labs and drug
abuse, and build a stronger judicial and prison system in rural areas.”

The above quotation is from the John Kerry for President web site:

http://www.Johnkerry.com

The issue of felon disenfranchisement, where millions of Americans
convicted of crimes that may or may not have resulted in imprisonment cannot
vote in government elections, is one of growing importance.  Around the
country, various lawsuits are challenging such laws under various theories,
so far with mixed results.  Some political pressure, especially by the black
community, is raising awareness about how this results in dilution of the
black vote and undermines any notion of equality and democracy.  In a system
that claims to be a democracy, the right to vote should be a fundamental
right.  But the flip side of the same coin is that people who wish to vote
should have candidates who either represent their interests or their views
on given issues.  That a majority of the electorate that can vote chooses
not to may reflect recognition of Jim Hightower’s comment that “If the gods
wanted us to vote, they would send us candidates.”

One reason for close national and statewide races for federal offices is
the lack of any discernable differences among the candidates.  For people
who are concerned about criminal justice issues, the lack of any substantial
policy differences among national candidates is most easily seen by the fact

My pain specialist recommended Gabitril, an anti-epileptic drug, for my
nerve pain. I brought up the fact that it’s for anti-epileptic uses and he
kinda shrugged off my concerns, saying it was also good for nerve pain.
Amazingly, I didn’t like the high it gave me, leaving me fuddled and
confused in the morning. LOL, that’s a switch. I haven’t taken any of it but
two nights right after he gave it to me, then stopped. That was pre-ibo.

I think low-dose iboga is comparable to an SSRI in terms of the way one
would use it. More convenient because the effect is fast and the dosage
can be varied, and you can start and stop at will. Inconvenient because
my experience is that iboga wears you down over time. Also it can be
scary if you take too much for the everyday situation at hand. Both iboga
and SSRI’s seem to lessen one’s sensitivity to inner pain, and thus allow
a more objective look at things. I had no insights with Paxil, although
I especially enjoyed a warm, energised feeling it added to smoking pot.
My mundane helper is Neurontin – it is a mood stabiliser also used for
pain patients, and in small doses (300-400mg for sleep a couple of times
a week) it seems to enhance energy, relaxation, and groundedness. I
forget
about it for many weeks at a time, remembering if I am troubled or run
down. Among drugs/entheogens, it most reminds me of the feeling one has
in the days following an ayahuasca session. Larger doses of Neurontin
are uncomfortable for me, and I’ve heard this of other people.

I think your statements are quite accurate on low dose ibogaine. You
really
have to understand how the doses you take are going to effect you.  It
would
not surprise me if the same effects of running you down over time would be
seen
if noribogaine was administered.  After all, if you take ibogaine you get
noribogaine.  However, this supports the perception of ibogaine as having
virtually no abuse potential.  I think that once you get into the 100mg
level
ibogaine’s antiaddictive effects kick in and that is an added safety
factor.

I only find low dose neurontin useful for sleep if taken in combination
with
a benzodiazepine.  I am also very skeptical of the safety of high dose
neurontin regimens as I would be for the general use of any anti-epileptic
drug in a
non-epileptic patient.  The one thing you can take for granted is the
pharmaceutical companies will sell you anything they can.

about H and urine tests

Hi group,

Well, to make a long story short, I screwed up, and
used some H last night.  The methadone tapering
process(down to 15mg/day) was making me a little sick
and sleepless, and sure enough, the H provided the
temporary relief I was looking for.

I’m wondering this: how long does H stay in your
system?  I have a urine test next Thursday, and I need
to pass it in order to maintain my carry privileges.
I didn’t shoot it, but rather SNORTED it, about half a
gram in total.  Is there anything I can drink/take
which will cause me to excrete the H quicker?  I’ve
heard grapefruit juice works- anything else?

Thanks group, you all rock,

luv Julie

*** Hey Julie,
Most of us understand, it’s a pity that your clinic doesn’t.
You will be fine as long as you don’t use between now and thursday.
The clinics, here in Australia, used to be like that about 10 years ago.
In my experience anyway.

Now days here in Aus,if you use and you tell the clinic,they are a lot more
understanding
and try to help you,ask if you would like to go up in your dose,or if there
is
anything else they can do.

I actually made a deal with my councelour a long time ago,that I choose to
be honest with the clinic,
however,if you punish people for their honesty,..what do you think they will
do? Well,they will
do what anyone else would do ,lie.

People want honesty,then they react to it,punish you,yell,..judge you,it
really is f….d.
Do you have a good relationship with your councilour?Can you be blunt and
honest with him/her?
Or are are they still in the Hitler SS regime way of thinking?

Julie,I know what it is like to be comming of methadone,especially when you
ae down to 3ml(15mg),
with me,everything starts to come to the surface,I cry for no known
reason,like  really sob(I am sure many of you can relate) My insides start
to hurt,emotionally I become extremley sensitive,have very little energy,no
motivation(This is after a reduction, of course).

The idea,for me,to go back up on my dose if I have stumbled,used to be,no
f…..n way! I just want to get off this shit,
after all the pain of my last couple of reductions,I am not going back up
again.HOWEVER,I have learnt over time that if you are in a situation where
you want to use strongly and do,then use again,well,….the only choice for
me is to increase my dose.

Julie,I have not yet experienced Ibogaine,however I will be very soon.If you
are planning to experience Ibo’ in the near
future,then I would just get yourself comfortable for now. Comfortable
enough for you to not want to use H.That is of course if that is what you
choose to do.

Smiles
Jasen.

my experience is that iboga wears you down over time. Also it can be
scary if you take too much for the everyday situation at hand. Both iboga
and SSRI’s seem to lessen one’s sensitivity to inner pain, and thus allow
a more objective look at things. I had no insights with Paxil, although
I especially enjoyed a warm, energised feeling it added to smoking pot.
My mundane helper is Neurontin – it is a mood stabiliser also used for
pain patients, and in small doses (300-400mg for sleep a couple of times
a week) it seems to enhance energy, relaxation, and groundedness. I forget
about it for many weeks at a time, remembering if I am troubled or run
down. Among drugs/entheogens, it most reminds me of the feeling one has
in the days following an ayahuasca session. Larger doses of Neurontin
are uncomfortable for me, and I’ve heard this of other people.

I think your statements are quite accurate on low dose ibogaine. You really
have to understand how the doses you take are going to effect you.  It would
not surprise me if the same effects of running you down over time would be seen
if noribogaine was administered.  After all, if you take ibogaine you get
noribogaine.  However, this supports the perception of ibogaine as having
virtually no abuse potential.  I think that once you get into the 100mg level
ibogaine’s antiaddictive effects kick in and that is an added safety factor.

I only find low dose neurontin useful for sleep if taken in combination with
a benzodiazepine.  I am also very skeptical of the safety of high dose
neurontin regimens as I would be for the general use of any anti-epileptic drug in a
non-epileptic patient.  The one thing you can take for granted is the
pharmaceutical companies will sell you anything they can.

Dear Julian, Lori, Mary, Julie, and Midvoxvegians who asked:

I’m just a guy who has experienced the Eye a couple times for
“psycho-spritual” purposes, or mid-life burnout emotional closet cleaning,
to be more accurate. My portion of the Contacts page on the
ibeginagain.org site gets into why I facilitate people with the Eye.  It’s
titled, “A Facilitator’s Perspectice”  Callie mentioned her problems with
doctors, having been a nurse, and I know the feeling because I chose
medical school and practice as a naturopathic physician long ago for
probably similar feelings about allopathic,or “regular” MD’s.

Julian asked about my chemistry background… Way too many months of
undergrad inorganic, organic, and biochem, then a medical school
curriculum that was parallel anything conventional medical schools for
allopaths or osteopaths.  Naturopathic doctors who have trained in their 4
year medical schools, work from the basic sciences for the first couple
years that any medical school teaches, and then rather than the hospital,
high tech treatment of Disease, our education moves into the generalist’s
unheroic medicine of outpatient, home care, preventive, and public health
focus including things like nutrition and diet, herbal and homeopathic
methods, and sensible personal and home hygiene methods to enhance health.

When a doctor becomes experienced with American patients, we don’t
disparage or compete with other philosophies of medicine, there are many
strengths and skills other medical professionals bring to the table. Lots
of patients seem to dislike and avoid MD doctors, for various reasons. I
feel the best MD’s are most limited by the control of their school
curriculums by the pharmacy cartels.  Their best rewards are for drug
pushers of not the best drugs. For acute emergency care MD’s are better
trained and equipped to help than NMD/ND’s, generally. After a while, the
ability of the individual doctor matters more than their training,
regardless of the licenses.

My entheogen use and interest in spiritual growth stems from early years
as a hippy starchild hitching the whole US several times while a high
school kid. It wasn’t as dangerous and brave for us then as it would be
now. The US seemed like Camelot during the “Summer of Love- 1967” –San
Francisco around the Haight, Love-In Festivals, what a time! Can’t begin
to wrap that into a word portrait for you here.

Folks describe how dealers can be good or bad, junkies and tweakers are
nice people too!? Speed and China White Heroin cut through those sexy and
loving little hippy enclaves of midwestern dropouts like a Devil’s scythe,
and faster than pubic crabs. The controllers brought it in as good
business and great for shutting down political protest. Many of us saw the
different effects that mere molecules could have. Watching close friends
morph into paranoid jerks, bleed out into anemic ghouls, yellow jungle cat
eyes, and then shrivel and die before us. The gangs, violence, organized
crime, and mean people, well I guess that was just coincidental with
addiction?.  All in the same summer.   “Speed Kills” was the slogan, and
R.Crumb drew it well. Heroin didn’t kill junkies, just their relationships
and families. We could love the dealers and users as our friends but hate
what the drugs were doing to them. I still do.

Do I think the War on Drugs is an answer? First, what’s the question?
Effective protection from bad drug effects? Hell no. I’d rather declare
Peace on the Human Spirit, and have everyone learn whatever they can about
what different life choices cause that we experience as the effects. After
a practice of 20 years in using natural medicines, I find Ibogaine is the
finest tool I have encountered for helping myself and others to become
aware of our behavoirs and choices.  Not just to enhance awareness, but to
have the courage to change or not change what we choose to about
ourselves. In the politics of plants, Ibogaine must be the
anarcho-libertarian among the bunch. Totally optimistic about your
potential as a child of God, even if you don’t feel you are.

Please don’t take my word for any of this, consider trying this plant
medicine for yourself and come to your own conclusions. This list has many
ibonauts for you to learn from. Callie, I think Sara would be exactly
there for you as the compassionate healer presenting this. And Holland
just Rocks!

That’s enough on me. I like words from those considering an upcoming
session or processing their conclusions about one. I hope we can get a low
dose product out that will let many people access Eye in the near future.
Why flame Dana? He has been a crusader for our liberties longer than most
of you have been inhaling.  Something was woken up within him long ago
that I appreciate, and when he does take up anyone on the heroic dose, I
think Bwiti and he will have a lot to laugh about. Thanks Mindvox!

Usually heroin/morphine is detectable three days out.  Drink lots of water
for the next two days.  Possibly, you should ask for a 5 or 10 mg increase to
stabilize before you continue your taper.  Tell your clinic you came down too
quickly and are feeling very uncomfortable (the truth).  Do not tell them you
used heroin.

Yeah, agreed.

As for detectable metabolites; everybody has biochemical individuality and there is no single exact answer to that question.

The results of my own personal research indicate: I will be clear within 54-62 hours, depending on how much I’m drinking.

72-80 hours at most, is a pretty safe ballpark figure that applies to nearly everyone.

Hi group,

Well, to make a long story short, I screwed up, and
used some H last night.  The methadone tapering
process(down to 15mg/day) was making me a little sick
and sleepless, and sure enough, the H provided the
temporary relief I was looking for.

I’m wondering this: how long does H stay in your
system?  I have a urine test next Thursday, and I need
to pass it in order to maintain my carry privileges.
I didn’t shoot it, but rather SNORTED it, about half a

Thanks group, you all rock,

Me too Howard, me too.
Went to Alex Gray’s Chapel of Mirrors last night (saw Dana btw) for the MAPS
dance (someone donated the most amazing chocolate mushroom candies to V and
I for the cause, and wow, they were incredible to say the least), and two
hours after finally collapsing into bed this morning at 6AM, I was up at 8AM
to get ready for the Students for Sensible Drug Policy conference at
Columbia today. This should be interesting. I hope I’m able to stay awake
all day. I’m amazed I’m up now…more that I actually saw with my own two
eye Dana Beal go home early from a raging party, because he too had to get
up early for the SSDP thing- Dana Beal being responsible. WHoda thunk it?
What this is going to do for his reputation I’m not sure, but I’m loath to
guess.
;-)))
Have a great day all.
(oh and next time in manhattan, please check out the Chapel of Mirrors
on 27th Street. It’s an amazingly cool place. Google it for more info)

Peace and love,
Preston

Preston, I think you look hot, and as I’m for freedom of speech , I’m for
freedom of body languish. What ever it takes.
Here is nudism big, people like to show theirs tattoo’s and pricings, we
call it body art, enjoy it. people walk naked in my house all the time, when
they are on Iboga. We are used to it.
personally I’m very conservative in that sense. no needle will touch my
skin. I have a phobia for sharp things. I can’t wear anything tied or
synthetic even shoes, I walk barefoot, clogs or big boots.
Your body is your temple and it is up to you how you decorate it.

LOL.
What are you talking about Callie? I don’t wear women’s clothes, I wear my
clothes.
;-0))
I’ve read in many places that one trait sometimes exhibited by someone
with shamanic leanings, which I’d like to think I have in some degree
whether conscious or not, is the wearing of clothing not necessarily
sanctioned by the rest of society, whether it clothing above one’s status,
or of the “wrong” gender, or simply too much or too little clothing,
whatever the case may be. Labels kinda give me an excuse to feel
uncomfortable, so I avoid them Callie, prefering not to take many on
voluntarily, feeling I carry enough weight on my shoulders as it is (unless
I’m writing a contributor bio, then I kinda feel it’s ok to label myself).
One thing (and I’m opening myself up to the snide here I suppose) I was
slightly concerned about prior to taking ibogaine the first time was coming
to my senses and deciding I was going to cut my hair and change my sense of
who I am in how I dress and adorn myself. That I was going to find that
ibogaine convinced me to be “straight” and I was going to be a cog person. I
don’t know why I was thinking that, knowing as many oddballs as I do who
have taken ibogaiine and not come out cogged and shorn, but I was genuinely
concerned none the less. Happily I can report that not only was I not
convinced by ibogaine that to succeed and feel like a proper person I’d have
to change my appearance just like “they” always said in
residential/detox/drug treatment facilities and programs, but I was even
more comfortable in my skin as Preston, being who I am and want to be. I’ve
not exactly had a problem with that much in the past in terms of my outer
appearance, (having had long practice of ignoring the rednecks and idiots
that walk US streets) but still, there was an almost conscious thought of
“I’m me and that’s ok” after coming out of the ibogaine experience, a
feeling that has remained with me, further cementing in me the feeling that
I can do as I wish (in terms of dress and appearance) without feeling that I
must conform to have an opinion, to “succeed,” to “fit in” or be accepted,
that it doesn’t really matter to me much the acceptance thing, or that it
shouldn’t anyway (As noted a few weeks ago, I caught myself feeling out of
sorts in reaction to how someone acted towards me, mainly due to my own
feelings of paranoia and ego, something I was very conscious of and strive
to not give in to anymore).

Peace and love,
Preston

I have met some good dealers and some rip offs.  However, the dealer who calls you when your on your 3rd day of detox is a scumbag.  I seldom call people names but that is how I feel.  However, a person should have the right to use drugs in the land of the free.  Why is some jackass senator or president saying I can’t use weed if I want, or H or anything else if I want.  I don’t bitch at them for drinking.  Why can’t a guy just walk into a drugstore and get 30 valiums?  Why must he see a doc?

Is the guy at the gas station a dealer or at 7-11?  He sells alcohol and cigarettes.  Cigarettes kills more people than all the dope combined.  Of course there are bad dealers who carry guns and up the price and cut the dope.  Guess they are like everyone else some are good and some are bad.

Hi all,
Something occured to me the other day.
Is it only dope dealers that some of you consider “bad” or is it all
dealers? Are alcohol dealers “bad” too? I mean, ’cause V is a dealer, a
bartender to be specific, and I happen to know she isn’t at all “bad” unless
you mess with her- then she can be more than “bad” she can be downright
scary.
But seriously, I think it’s a major mistake for us to lump all dealers
into some catagory based on our experiences with mainly young,
not-so-risk-adverse hoody types, who these day are usually the main ones
willing to take the risk of dealing- but because they too are innundated
with the anti-drug propaganda, their opinions about junkies are colored, not
only by the desperation and filth they see on a daily basis on the part of
their customers. Yes, many of the street dealers I’ve dealt with in any
prohibitionist country suck bigtime, but not all of them did- and certainly
most “dealers” I know of many assorted drugs are fine upstanding people.
So I was just rethinking about this the other day, and wanted to voice
my continued opposition to labeling all dealers, even those slinging dope,
are slime.

Peace and love,
Preston

Hi Vigilius,

HOW ACCURATE IS THE HIV TEST?
By Celia Farber
Mothering Sept./Oct. 1998
People often discuss the dreaded “AIDS test” as though it is AIDS itself that is being tested for. It is not. What the “AIDS test” actually detects is antibodies to HIV, which may or may not entail true infection with HIV. (1) Traditionally, antibodies have signaled that an infection has been defeated. In AIDS, however, for reasons that remain unresolved, the antibody has come to be synonymous with bad news — a categorical signal that the person “has” HIV and perhaps even “has” AIDS.
Rarely, if ever, has a single diagnostic test had such an enormous impact on the lives of the millions of people who rely on it. Since 1985, the U.S. government and various civilian institutions have performed more than 20 million HIV tests every year. Responses to positive tests have been melodramatic. People have been known to commit suicide or murder, lapse into depression, have abortions, become divorced, and take toxic medications. (2) Tragically, these dramatic actions were triggered by a test that is far from foolproof.
In 1993, a group of Australian researchers published what would be the first substantial critique of the HIV antibody test. The article, entitled “Is a Positive Western Blot Proof of HIV Infection?” was published in the journal Bio/Technology, a respected scientific publication affiliated with the British magazine Nature. The Australian researchers stated that the HIV test is seriously flawed on several counts: it is not standardized, so different labs will interpret the same results differently; it is not reproducible (the test fails when tested against itself); it cross-reacts with other, non-HIV proteins; and it lacks a true “gold standard.” Every diagnostic test must have a gold standard, which in this case would be HIV itself, but the authors argue this is impossible since the HIV virus has never been isolated in pure form. (3)
The scientists scrutinized the two most widely used HIV antibody tests — the “ELISA,” which is used to screen blood, and the “Western Blot” (WB), which is used to confirm a positive result on the ELISA. The problems apply to both tests.
The ELISA test, first developed in 1985, is highly sensitive and also extremely nonspecific, which means it gives a positive result even when there is no HIV present. As many as four out of five ELISA tests cannot be confirmed by Western Blot, (4) and yet it remains the most widely used test in the Third World, most notably Africa, where HIV is said to be rampant.
Citing the data from a mass HIV testing program undertaken by the U.S. military, the Australian researchers revealed some startling findings. There were, for instance, 4,000 people who had two positive ELISAs followed by a negative WB. Perhaps worse, there were 80 cases of people who had two positive ELISAs, a positive WB, followed by a negative follow-up WB.
In other words, those 80 people, outside the context of this study, would have gone home believing they were HIV positive, since a single positive WB qualifies a person as positive. But in fact they were negative.
Another problem with the test is that it is nonspecific. The test looks for patterns of proteins thought to be specific to HIV. One protein in particular, p24, is “currently believed to be synonymous with HIV isolation and viremia,” the study says. But the Australian researchers detected p24 antibodies in a number of people who were completely free of HIV, including one out of every 150 healthy people, about 13 percent of all people with generalized warts, and more than 40 percent of those with multiple sclerosis. On the other hand, they point out, p24 is not found in all AIDS patients.
But perhaps most troubling, the tests tend to cross-react with other microbes. The Bio/Technology articles describes a tribe of Amazonian Indians who have never had contact outside their tribe and who have no AIDS. And yet, 3.3 to 13.3 percent were HIV- positive by Western Blot. “The above data,” they speculated in their final report, means either that HIV is not in fact causing AIDS, “or, that the HIV antibody tests are non-specific.”
The test’s greatest failing in the eyes of those who’ve had to rely on it, however, is that it is not standardized. In the Australian study, one particular blood sample was sent 89 times to three different labs. It was reported to be positive 64 times, indeterminate 23 times, and negative once. There is such a broad, gray, “indeterminate” zone, in fact, that it’s often merely chance whether a given lab reads the result as positive or negative.
Christine Maggiore, president of the dissident AIDS-activist group HEAL in Los Angeles, experienced this first-hand. After initially testing HIV-positive, and going into the emotional tailspin that such a result often sets off, she subsequently repeated the test four more times, and got every possible result on the spectrum — positive, negative and indeterminate. “This is why I tell people not to take the test,” she says emphatically. “It’s just too unreliable. It shouldn’t be how we measure our health.” *

Hi Dana I don’t think I wrote it in a way that made everyone understand

Hi Callie,

I don’t read the forum much, too many letters.  I will have to do the igbo on the cheap.  I sent off to Indra.com for some of the extract.  I am getting 8 grams and plan to do 6 and keep 2 for cravings.

I look at it this way, 1000’s of people have taken it and out of the 1000’s only 4 died and some of that was their own fault.  Either they used or were not in good physical shape.  So, right off the bat your odds of doing it and having everything go good are many 1000’s to one – not bad odds.

I am spending about $262 for the 8 grams, I know that can be a hell of a lot if you don’t have it but you may want to think about it.  I will be doing it in 2 or 3 weeks.  If you want me to let you know how it went let me know, I’ll share my experiences with you.  Just write me if you are interested.  It may take a few days since I only check this mail once or twice a week.

Best to ya Callie,

Hi, I am Callie, a 45 year old Practical Nurse Methadone Maintenance patient since 1997.

I love reading all the colorful, descriptive personal insights into Ibogaine but they are your personal insights as Ibogaine relates to you and probably some insights shared with you by patients and other Ibonauts.
You write from a very intellectual point of view.(IMHO)
Personally, I have a difficult time understanding what you are saying at all! I am sure it is just me. I do not understand all the symbolism (occult, cryptomasonic???!!!)
And, why do you refer to life as a cosmic chicken farm? Why do you call Ibogaine a seventh dimensional
plant ally? What is a mongo level of suffering?
You say, ” It just seems that many of you don’t get what you’ve got with the Eye. The Undrug.” I am positive That I do not ‘get’ it.
One more question please. What does this mean? “The human spirit is well into an evolutionary trainwreck and extending ahead these social trends of chemical lobotomies, psychiatric drug shackles, designer plagues to criminalize our sexuality, radioactive ammunition deployment, and the hedonic fog of commercial culture to dumb down everyone, well it
looks pretty bleak.” mean in regular, everyday language?
Dr. Tom, I am not trying to be smart ass. I bet you think I am! I just really don’t understand what you are saying.
I do not understand the next paragraph of your post either. I hated ‘The Matrix’.
The one thing you said that I understood, “None of us can or should make other peoples decisions and actions for them
however much we love them.  They are here for their own lessons of cause and effect. Plenty have yet to hit their bottom, so to speak.  Thanks for all on this list sharing their ups and downs with the Eye. I’ve been
learning alot from you.”

I hope you reply cause I am very worried about my Ibogaine experience to come. I am afraid I am too limited in my insight of cause and affect for me to benefit.
Sincerely,
Callie

sorts in reaction to how someone acted towards me, mainly due to my own
feelings of paranoia and ego, something I was very conscious of and strive
to not give in to anymore).

Peace and love,
Preston

Callie,

If you could think just that, then you don’t need to worry too much. Ibo. Will get you closer to your centre , then you will know what you need to know, if you listen.

At the centre of your being

you have the answer.

You know who you are

Hi all,
Please forward this email and link to any and all lists and individuals
who might be interested in attending or helping me promote this book release
party. Ask any and all who might have events calendars to add this event to
their listings please and to forward this note to their lists.
I’d like to have people lined up out the door and down the street (where
the local street dealers here in LES can accost them peddling their wares
before they come in to sample the more legal ones on sale cheap as heck
inside), coming out to help us celebrate the addition of “Under the
Influence- the Disinformation Guide to Drugs” to the growing library of
works shredding the prohibitionist rational(s) (such as they are) for the
continued War on Some Drugs and Users.
This is going to be a party, so be prepared to have a lot of fun, to let
your hair down (if you still have hair to let down that is) and to kick out
the jams. Feel free to bring literature, pamphlets, fliers, posters,
whatever you’d like so long as they pertain to the War on Drugs, drugs
themselves, or about sex and rock n’ roll too since that’s part of the theme
of the party- but I’d prefer the focus of any additional stuff brought by
others to focus on the War please.
There are a bunch of link imbedded in this notice at the URL here, so
please visit to find out lots more info, and to see the front and back cover
of the book, and to read more about “Under the Influence- the Disinformation
Guide to Drugs.”
I hope to see and finally meet many of you on Oct. 21 (which is UTI
contributor Jules Siegel’s b-day remember, so if anyone wants to help buy
him a ticket to the US from Mexico and put him up for a night or two here in
Manhattan, feel free to contact him), and appreciate the help you can give
me by forwarding this email on to all and sundry. Thanks.

it sounds like you are a very fortunate man.Good on ya.<

As regards my being with V, you said a mouthful here Jasen.
We’ve been together as a couple for 8 years this Halloween. I’ve been on and
off hard drugs during that time, both legal and non-legal both. Some people
find once getting “clean” they can’t be in their releationship any longer,
but in my own case, I feel I couldn’t be in a better situation with a better
lover/friend than I am in being with V. She rocks my world, and while she
does occasionally smoke pot, eat shrooms and drink alcohol, she isn’t a
“druggie” in the sense. So she doesn’t lead me astray in that/those ways.
Most importantly, she loves me more than anyone ever has in my entire life I
firmly believe, and I appreciate that a lot. She puts up with, and has put
up with, more bullshit from me than anyone, with most everyone else ever in
my life giving up on me after a lot less bullshit- even my adoptive parents
gave up on me and kicked me out half way through my senior year of high
school, and they were putting up with a LOT LESS bullshit from me than many
others have since. V is the first person to see through all my crap and
force me in so many ways to address the bullshit, to change those parts of
me I can and really want(ed) to, without my kicking and screaming the whole
way- except for my cigarette habit of course- and to further strengthen and
build those parts of me which aren’t destructive and damaging to myself or
her. As I wrote in the acknowlegements (a dream of mine which I’ve now
fullfilled- how cool is that, to know I’ve concretely fullfilled one of my
long-time dreams- actually fullfilling a number of them with the publishing
of UTI) in UTI, she’s my muse “for bettter or worse, through thick and
thin.” (I’ve wanted to thank her publicly for a long time, but putting her
name in some book or other, and now I have, which will be read in at least 4
other countries- and hopefully by a few people who gave up on me in the
past. Again, how cool is that? In my book, it’s very cool, if you’ll excuse
the weakass pun.)
I wish for everyone the chance to one day experience at least some of
what I have in being with V, that everyone finds that special person who
perfectly counterbalances them. V is in many ways my exact opposite, and in
others my perfect mirror. We fight and bitch and complain at one another
sometimes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way (well, I could always use
less arguing no matter how rare it is), in that if she wasn’t here to bitch
on occasion, who would? Me? LOL, right.
Anyway, back to my point- in my own case, I’m very happy to have someone
with me, who stayed with me and me her even after getting off/on this or
that substance. I plan on being together with her for a long, long time yet
to come, no matter what (knock loudly on wood), but we’re not planning on
signing any marriage papers, nor having kids beyond the four-legged kind. I
think that she bolsters me a lot.
Anyone else have thoughts on relationships and kicking/being on drugs?
Is it rare or common for folk to remain in relationships even after
addictions? I’ve never been able to maintain one for long while addicted to
anything illegal, until my relationship with V, even if some previous
relationships lasted up to a couple years. Now I am amazed that I got as far
as I did without V, and know in my heart that were I not with V, I probably
wouldn’t have been able to accomplish a lot of what I have in the past 8
years.
Anyone who would put up with the guy in the attached photo has to be
alright in my book, again to excuse the silly pun-like stuff.

Oh, and I just remembered something. Here’s an excerpt and a link (and
what do you know, I also just remembered that the only photo still existing
of me, fuzzy and blurred just like me then- yeah, “then” lol-  in my “strung
out on NYC streets” phase is also included in this story- not taking all the
mug shots into consideration of course-also, I should note that I’m
completely rewriting the book “Something in the Way” that this chapter is
taken from, putting it all back into first person format, in hopes that
sells better than the third-person format I put it in a couple years ago and
got no bite from publishers/agents) to the rest of this chapter, a
description of how I met V and of our first phase “together.” We spent a
good year and a half as friends (and not so friends too at one point, after
I got caught shooting up in the back garden of the building where her Dad
owned an apartment and where she moved to live more cheaply for a few years,
part of which we spent living there together, years later, after her Dad got
past the “he’s 90 pounds of shit 9 in a 10 pound bag” phase in describing
me), me living with her at some points during that time, without our ever
having had sex, even sleeping together in the same bed. We stayed friends
until we were ready to try a real relationship, which I think was one of the
best ideas I ever had, both the waiting, then the decision to give our
relationship a nudge to the next level.
As an experiment, I’m not going to plain text this and see what happens.

Out of Action

(tenative chapter 14 [but will not stay Chapter 14 in final version] of
Something in the Way
by Preston Peet- copyright 2001)

posted at DrugWar.com Nov. 17, 2002

snip-
When it gets so painful that he can’t use his right hand to shoot, he asks
Dan to do it for him, and they continue on. Upon arrival of dawn the day
after the miss, he is holding his arm bent close to his body, protecting it
from any and all contact. Dan has scored big himself earlier that morning,
and now Thomas suggests that the two of them go and visit a friend of his, a
sweet and lovely girl named Vanessa he’s met not long before while walking
down the 10th St. sidewalk. Though she doesn’t get high, she is intrigued by
Thomas, and has let him crash over once or twice.

Vanessa wonders and worries

Working at a restaurant on Ave. A, she used to see Thomas passing by outside
frequently. When they finally met, she told him she’d been wanting to meet
for some time.

Her apartment is on 11th St., so in five minutes he and Dan are ringing her
buzzer. The first time Thomas had come to her place, it only took a minute
before he was telling Vanessa that he needed to get off, asking did she mind
if he did it there. She’d said sure, not understanding what he’d meant until
he pulled out a rig, shot up in her livingroom, then started talking about
invisible coke bugs, holding out his hands to show her, asking her to check
them out.

“Stop it, you’re scaring me,” she’d finally told him. The pain Thomas felt
when he’d seen her expression, her eyes wide and her hand up to her chest,
like she was trying to ward him off, cut right into the high and enabled him
to stop hallucinating, immediately. Rarely was he able to affect them,
usually having to ride them out until they went away on their own, but this
once he somehow turned them off , or just ignored them rather. That’s when
he’d first had an inkling that Vanessa was special to him in some way. He
didn’t stop getting high around her by any means, but he’d realized he cared
for her as a friend, and didn’t want to scare or hurt her.

Now as he and Dan ring her buzzer, Thomas is more than simply high. He’s
starting to enter into serious fever and infection delirium. The pain in his
elbow has become a thing alive, gnawing at his entire arm in a maniacal
frenzy. He in turn is intent on killing it by shooting more and more drugs,
which keep him awake, unable to sleep and get rest he desperately needs. He
hasn’t looked at his arm since the night before, as it’s so swollen he can’t
get his sleeve off without inflicting excruciating agony. He’s been ignoring
it as best he can.

Vanessa buzzes them in, and they ride the tiny elevator to the sixth floor.
When they open the elevator door, she has her apartment door already open.
As filthy as he and Dan are, she is clean. Just awake, she’s a bit tousled,
but in an entirely different class of messy than theirs. On her it’s
charming, delightful, where as on them it’s disgusting, and smells. She
takes one look at Thomas, immediately steps out and takes his arm in her
hand to help him into the apartment because he is staggering, and looks like
hell. He lets out a horse yell when she grabs him, causing her to jump back.
Then she goes all concerned, insisting he come and sit and let her take a
look at his arm.

While Dan cooks up another shot for them both, Vanessa helps Thomas get his
jacket and many shirts off over his swollen Popeye arm, as she calls it when
she finally sees it. His arm looks fairly normal from his shoulder to just
above his elbow, but below it’s huge, tight and shiny, with streaks of
bright crimson running up and down his arm from his elbow to his wrist.

Once they’ve finally finessed the clothing off and exposed his arm, Dan and
Vanessa immediately begin telling Thomas he really has to go to the
hospital, that he is going to loose his arm if he doesn’t get it taken care
of.

“It was the most painful experience of my life,” says Dan, telling a story
about his own experience getting an abscess cut from his arm in the
hospital, describing it in full-color, gory detail. Through his pain, Thomas
listens to the description of forceps holding open an un-anaesthetized,
scalpel-sliced abscess as a doctor scrapes out the puss and ooze, which
doesn’t help Thomas in the slightest. Now he’s sure he doesn’t want to go to
the hospital.

“No thanks, I’ll stick it out,” he tells them, and does another shot.

Dan eventually takes off, but Vanessa insists Thomas stay and get some rest.
Passed out on the sofa, Thomas doesn’t argue. As he leaves, Dan asks Vanessa
to try to get Thomas into the hospital, then he’s gone. Vanessa lets Thomas
sleep as long as he will, calling in sick to her job. Having met Thomas just
a couple weeks before, she still feels an urge to help him out. She feels
awful watching him destroy himself.

His own groan of pain wakes Thomas. He’s brushed his arm against the end of
the sofa as he slept, and now the infection is beyond ignoring. He can’t
escape it. As soon as he is awake, he does another shot, but it doesn’t
touch the pain. It’s impossible for him to stop moaning about it. Each time
Vanessa brings up the idea of a hospital, he waves her off with his good
hand and continues trying to ignore it. Dan had found a guy selling
Clonopines the day before, a fairly heavy sedative. Thomas begins eating his
share of them on top of all the other drugs in him. Vanessa finally puts her
foot down.

“Get up. We’re going to the hospital.”

“Are you crazy?” Thomas is belligerent, insisting he can’t go to the
hospital. “I’m out of dope. There’s no way I’m going to sit for hours in the
waiting room without any dope. Tell you what. Loan me ten or twenty bucks. I
‘ll go out, score some stuff to take with me, then I promise, I’ll go.” The
fact that his arm looks like an incredibly ugly sausage isn’t enough, nor
the intense pain. Only the loaning of drug money, bribing him to save his
own arm will work. She looks at him like he’s the crazy one, which of course
he is.

Thomas in a haze of pain and drugs

She’s really worried about his arm, thinking he is going to loose it. He
might appear nuts, but she’s pretty sure it’s the drug abuses and
prohibition stresses that’ve made him so. The second time over to her place,
he’d brought a guitar he’d bought cheap off another junkie, and had
proceeded to play and sing for her. He’d sold it three days later, but
still, the thought he might not ever get to play again makes her sad, and
determined to get him to the hospital any way she can. There’s no one else
who can or will help, not even Thomas himself.

Preston

Hi all,
I’ve attached 3 new photos to this email, taken last week at
friends’
while over shooting pool and watching the girls drink wine (fun for the
whole famil…well, there’re only two in each of our families, not
including
the 4-legged children, so plenty of fun to go around). Two are of my
newest
tattoo, (the purple dragon w/ying-yang) the original picture sent me by
Patrick right after my August experiences.
The third is of V holding up Under the Influence, but only the title
is
showing, not the whole book cover. Still, it’s a great photo, I think
anyway.
;-))
Soooo, I thought I’d share.

Peace and love,
