The medicine was pushed underground in the USA when many psychedelic drugs were being scheduled in the 1970’s (as part of a knee-jerk reaction to the LSD hysteria).
In the U.K it is unclassified altough it technically falls under the Psychoactive Substances Act of 2016. This is a blanket law making all psychoactive substances illegal unless stated otherwise. This act was brought out to combat the “legal highs” coming out of China such as spice and m-kat (often sold as bath salts and plant fertilizers).
But in some countries like Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and New Zealand it is recognised as a medicine. Mexico in particular is well known for its ibogaine treatment centres.
Whilst in most of the rest of the world it remains unscheduled. There are several ibogaine treatment centres in Europe in countries like Spain and Portugal.
List of countries and ibogaines legal status in each can be seen here.
Most of this website content was written by Rich Hughes, as well as the website creation itself.
In the photo to the left, he is the man on the right hand side.
He worked and volunteered for more than 5 years at various ibogaine detox clinics in México and Portugal before striking out on his own in Spain, his clinic is called Madera Sagrada which is Spanish for sacred wood, the indigenous Bwiti name for iboga.
During this time he has experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of ibogaine treatment; from the countless dozens who gained their freedom and even witnessing a death whilst working as a volunteer. This drove him to better understand the health and safety aspects, including how to read an ECG/EKG and an advanced first aid course.
It is with his hard won information, and a desire to see ibogaine knowledge distributed around the world, saving lives, as it has saved his life from Crack and heroin addiction.
