This is a psychedelic plant found in Africa which the natives use for spiritual ceremonies. What is interesting about it is its ability to cure people of their heroin or cocaine addictions with a 7% relapse rate after the first time taking taking. It was discovered by a drug addict who took it hoping to get high but he did not enjoy the experience too he had. Afterwards he noticed that he did not have any withdraw symptoms or feelings that he needed to take the heroine again. Scientists and doctors eventually did experiments on this plant hoping to debunk these claims but ended up confirming that it really does help cure addiction. Below is a video from a news broadcast which reported on these effects that Iboga has.
This stuff is really interesting. I hear the trip is pretty unpleasent though but that might be part of what makes it work.
Good post.
