Hey - put it into Google scholar search. Essentially, around 100 addicts take the substance while trying to get off of heroin, most of them never get a withdrawal symptom from Heroin, and are off it. Some go straight back to Heroin and a guy dies, I think.

They draw plenty of conclusions, you'll see if you do that Google search.

Yeah I know what it is. I was wondering if you had some personal experience? :)

Hey, no, sorry. No experience of either substance.

One of the guys who used to run NYC's hacker ISP is now involved in Ibogaine research at a university somewhere -- it seems like a pretty legitimate medical treatment for addiction.

maps.org is the source I trust the most for information on current drug research. They funded the PTSD MDMA study as well as other work.

Sounds like an interesting dude - mind giving me his email or something?

Also, how goes it with that thing you emailed me about like a month ago? :)
