Excellent Article Daniel.

Question for you.
I have never suffered from a substance addiction, however like many people I do suffer from the everyday trials of normal life. After 28 years of "programming" I feel like I am ready for a step back - a true self-evaluation with the help of Mr. Iboga. (I suffer from ADD and this lack of focus has greatly effected my life on many levels - oh look a bird (ADD joke)) - My question is - do you have to suffer from an addiction to benefit from Iboga. Will the clinics take people who simply want to try an alternative to the $120/hr psychoanalysis from another human being who probably has just as many faults as I do.

I believe that the answers to our questions lie within us. It's simply a matter of "breaking open our heads" and taking a look around.

Thanks
Josh

I wasn't addicted to anything (well, coffee) and felt I benefited greatly from Mr. I.

It's easy to envy those living to the north and south of us. Maya ethnobotanicals has Iboga for sale; but, Maurice is scrupulous about obeying the law, & will not ship to the US or other countries where governments are more interested in supporting a for-profit, symptom-suppression pharmeceutical industry than getting at "root" causes & curing them.

Question, Daniel: Were someone to come up with a couple grand, would either the clinic in BC or Mexico consider giving Iboga to a non-addicted individual interested in its other psychologically important effects?

great article,daniel

especially nice to hear whats going on with u intuitively, as opposed to purely interlectually

as yr aware, in virtually every shamanistic/esoteric tradition the seer should voice his visions, as they may have portent for others as well as himself!

Wow, thank you for that article Daniel.

I am also interested in taking it at some point, not right now, but eventually. I know someone specifically who quite badly needs it. She's not addicted to anything really, although she's been binging on alcohol and pot in a really unhealthy way, she's started to enjoy the humiliation of others, she takes advantage of the kindness of people close to her... generally, she's lost herself and become distracted from why she's really here, and what will really satisfy her. She'll never take advice from me, but maybe I can suggest to someone else to suggest to her to try iboga. I'll show them that article and I think they'll agree that her situation calls for such a kick in the butt that she won't hear from another person.
