Ibogaine is very dangerous, even if it might be helpful. They have to check to make sure your heart can handle it. Maybe they will make an analogue that isn't as dangerous for the heart. It's an ordeal poison, as well as a psychedelic. Makes your heart race and pound like its coming out of your chest....for 2 days. Not fun. Imagine drinking 10 espressos every hour for 2 days. Many have died from it.
I think psilocybin mushrooms are much safer, but with anything you need a highly trained sitter and a protocol; and a safe space where you cannot hurt yourself or others.
They did mention in the press conference that ibogaine will not be available from a pharmacy, but administered at a hospital where the patient can be monitored. I have a feeling the new health organization will be exploring all kinds of potentially viable cures (including ones anons have advocated for), considering actual risks and making far better decisions for the health and healing of people in need than prior organizations (with perhaps ulterior and/or nefarious motives) had made.
I've just started looking into this drug, had never heard of it before this press conference. You sound like you're much more in tune with these issues (as are other anons here). For me, new ground/topic - always tons to learn here.
