A One-Dose Psychedelic Fix for Addiction?
Abstract
A drug that mimics ibogaine, a hallucinogen used underground for decades as an antiaddiction agent, is now being tested in clinical trials
The psychedelic drug ibogaine is known for two things: its reputation in some circles as a panacea for addiction and the visceral hallucinations it induces. Positive anecdotes abound from people who have sought out the illegal drug at underground clinics.
