Iboga - First time use

[Severe]

Well, the bwiti most certainly dont got hard drugs habits, point well made. Then again Iboga is part of their lifestyle and culture so its very different to the western world most of us live in.

I havent walked the walk yet so i should be careful to make conclusive statements.
The overnight changes a drug user experiences (drug-free, minimal withdrawals) probably makes it a lot easier to make miracle statements. Escape mentions that maybe expectations got in the way, maybe that affects how one sees the end result. Dont get me wrong, almost every account ive read have been positive, people call it an experience like no other, but thats a leap from being miraculous.

Then again, maybe some folks are just more receptive to an experience like iboga than others.

Can i ask you Kambogahuasca Panacea what your expectations were when you took your first flood?

I had very high expectations but they were well surpassed. It's hard to put into words how 4 years after that first flood it is still crystal clear the visions and lessons I learned. It has me on the path I'm on now without a doubt. It told me to be a healer and that's what I'm here for, so I just try to follow through the best I can.

The greatest thing to know in my opinion is Iboga and the word Iboga can be used interchangeably with the word practice. It truly is a practice to continue on this path of mysticism (consumption of Iboga). I sincerely wish for anyone that wants it to have the opportunity to take it as much as the Bwiti (almost daily in small amounts once a week in larger amounts during initiations), which is why my form of activism in the world is centered on Iboga cultivation.

Got my stuff in the mail! Woop!


I received an email from ICEERS (International Center for Enthobotanical Education, Research and Service) after quizzing them about dosages. This is what they said...

"I just want to make clear that I would not advise it to take Iboga without professional supervision, as I told you before, but regarding the dosing you have to take into account

that 5gr of 60% Ibogaine TA is not necesarily less potent than 5gr of 95% IbogaineHCL. The other alkaloids are potent and psychoactive as well.

So, if you consider that 10 - 12mg/kg bodyweight is the dose used for psychospiritual sessions, suppose you weigh 80kg you would calculate between 800mg to 1gr in total.

Preferably given a 100mg test dose prior to the session the day before or same day, then the flood dose in 2 times with about 1- 1,5 hours interval."

I have learned that the TA I have is 60% Ibogaine. The above email suggests thaT I only need 800mgs ish for a flood dose?! I'm about 76kgs by the way.

It's all very confusing. I think I'll just bite the bullet and stick with what IW recommended and see what happens! I should be getting on it this Sunday!

Peace
