RECOMMENDING IBOGA & RESPONSIBILITY

Greetings fellow Ibogaine Club members, old and new

My apologies in advance for this thread which will probably push some buttoms,
but I feel responsible to start this thread.

This forum has been such a haven in that it has strived to be a
RESPONSIBLE forum for HEALING

RECOMMENDING 
THAT A COMPLETE STRANGER 
TAKE IBOGA 
IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE !!!

I am happy that you had such a wonderful experience.
I am happy that you found healing, insight and growth.

But how can you then go and recommend 
that a complete and total stranger 
(of whom you know nothing including full medical records) 
take a known physical dangerous substance.

Did you even know that iboga is potentially medically dangerous ?
Do you know what the medical dangers of iboga are ?
Do you know what the toxicity of iboga is ?
Do know you what LQTS is ?
Have you read any of the medical journal articles on iboga ?
Do you know how many people have died from iboga ?
Have you read any or all of the coroners reports ?
Do you know the person's medical history that you are telling to take iboga ?
How about their psychological history ?

It can be very helpful to share your personal experiences.
"My flood experience was _____________."
"I sat for my friend and this is what I saw _________________".

It also might be different when someone starts a thread having already made the decision to do iboga and is looking for more information, than when someone is looking for advise to take iboga.

I have flooded  5 - 6 times, done 15 - 20 boosters, microdosed for 2 years, "sat" for almost 150 addicts, PTSD, friends and strangers, read hundreds of articles and dozens of coroners reports and have come to one conclusion - 

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IBOGA OR HOW IT WORKS.

I am asked weekly about "taking iboga" and while I can share how amazing the experience can be and how healing, I generally tend to first discourage anyone from doing it.  While I can tell them what they will most likely experience, I can not promise - every case is different.

I am truly happy that iboga has helped you in whatever way it helped you - but

LIFE IS NOT A JOKE !

PLEASE - 
Before you advise a total stranger to take a powerful dangerous plant, 
think 
and ask yourself - 
on what expertise am i giving such advise.

LET US ALL TRY AND KEEP IBOGA A SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE FORUM OF HEALING

Peace and blessings

Thank you for such a clear - on the mark - post. I am in full agreement with everything you added I refer people to this forum all of the time, my only concern is misplaced ZEAL by well meaning but naive individuals causing damage to any individual or the forum itself JBG

Very good post. I think the whole idea of Ibogaine Club is to promote responsibility and educate people that Ibogaine is not just another psychedelic, but a powerful and dangerous substance. This is why the platform always highlights the medical nuances, dangers, and contraindications.
