A careful vantage point
Accounts are starting points, not conclusions.
A strong personal account may convey relief, fear, change, regret, or meaning. It may also leave out health history, other substances, screening, setting, follow-up, and outcomes that did not match the story being told. Our approach to reading ibogaine accounts keeps those absences visible.
Ibogaine has been associated with potentially serious cardiac risk; the FDA warning about ibogaine is an important reminder that compelling testimony cannot substitute for risk assessment or professional medical advice.
