Hi
Simon,
I thought I'd just
chime in and let you know about my experience with the Ibogaine...I guess
there's not that much to say. I took the Ibogaine in 3 staggered doses separated
by an hour to ease my system into it, along with 100mg TPA. 1g of Iboga root
bark was taken to start with. This dose would work out at around 14.5mg/kg for
my bodyweight. This experience was interesting for me as I have experience with
the root bark, TA extract and now pure Ibogaine.
It was a hard
experience, as expected. Not a recreational or pleasure trip by any means as we
know. Effects manifested quickly and I lay down with a blindfold. Visions were
present, but surprised me with being quite subtle. I could see the layout of my
room and my arms with my closed eyes behind the blindfold; my third eye was
opened again like during my initiation. The visions during my initiation
were much deeper and very powerful and vivid indeed. I have started to think
that one's initiation with Iboga will always be the most profound in terms of
visions.
The Ibogaine was
smooth and easy on the body, (much less ataxia and dizziness then on the
wood), but hard on my mind...I got a serious psychological arse-kicking,
probably well deserved, but it was unrelenting for many hours. MANY thoughts of
death and mortality. Someone has suggested my intention may not have been firm
enough...so the Ibo' just showed me what it wanted to, which was all my negative
aspects, coupled with every humans contemplation of death and oblivion that
awaits. Wondering what you think. Yet this was both depressing and at the same
time strangely liberating.
It has taken a week,
but just yesterday I have started to soar and feel good. Solid, energised and
positive, looking forward to what lies ahead. And I think the past days of
my drug experimentation history are over, I don't feel that desire any
more. Shamanic plants now and again for sure, but no experimental research
chemicals...these are gambling with one's health/brain.
On the teacher plant
note, couldn't help notice what I assume is your Peyote grow on facebook. I have
10 plants...I was thinking of harvesting 6 in the sustainable Huichol manner so
they grow back), and making a tea out of them. Have never journeyed with Peyote
before, something I want to experience, if just the once. Any thoughts here? Is
tea the best method...thats what someone with experience has recommended I
do.
And that is about
it. Iboga(ine) is interesting and unique in that much of the beneficial effects
come after the experience itself, and it is those which I'm feeling now. I'm
exercising and eating well and its really augmenting this positivity. I've heard
that Ibogaine washes through one's system muich quicker than with the wood, not
sure if that's true or not, but I'm definitely feeling a strong push for a
healthy life style. Great timing though before I go back to university I think
for a very important year. I do plan on writing an article on GDNF, Ibogaine and
neurodegenerative diseases for Reality Sandwich,com, but I would appreciate it a
lot if you good glance over it as well at some point, as you seem to be
pretty on it with Ibogaine science.
Please let me know
of any deals you may have on Iboga, TA or Ibogaine itself. I'm in no rush to
work with Iboga again soon, but definitely plan on working with it again in the
future.
Right I should sleep
now, its really late here as it is where you are. All the best
man.
Sam
