I feel psychedelics make us aware of our unexamined destructive or negative compulsions and habits and dissolve them. They also dissolve ego, which is one of the biggest obstacles an opioid dependant individual must face...

it's not that these compounds "cure" anything, they simply allow one to be open and aware, they expand your consciousness beyond the confines of ego and self, they allow you to "step outside" of "yourself", and view the situation in a truly objective manner...

 

I have high hopes for ibogaine, because ibogaine possesses the ability being described above, where it allows you to recognize your destructive compulsions and habits, and it dissolves them or allows one to work on them in a productive manner, or it dissolves ego and self and provides a novel perspective, however, it also eases withdrawal, which makes it incredibly valuable as a tool for treating opioid dependence.

ibogaine is a rough experience, physically and mentally, and there are potential risks involved, however I still feel that this psychedelic molecule may be an incredibly valuable tool for treating opioid dependency.
