Doses so high that they really have no meaning. I could go to my cupboard right now and find a dozen over the counter medications that would kill me at high doses. This is the kind of BS that makes the drug industry no better than organized crime syndicates, not to mention a government intent on protecting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-28258961519458534452007-07-31T18:56:00.000-04:002007-07-31T18:56:00.000-04:00Ibogaine is the single most promising and interesting drug I know. It actually alleviates opiate withdrawal on hardened addicts. And it doesn't come back. Amazingly, many people report not wanting to use junk after just one session with ibogaine. It's a crime against humanity that this is a schedule 1 drug. <BR/><BR/>Oh...and there is a religion in Gabon called Bwiti, which involves the more or less regular consumption of ibogaine, and they've been doing it for a long long time.The Lil'est Naturisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666824355018596756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-81906357935208248622007-01-20T20:45:00.000-05:002007-01-20T20:45:00.000-05:00Was this the same fine researcher at John Hopkins (Dr. George Ricaurte) that claimed recreational sized doses of MDMA ate holes in the brain? It was later found that he had substituted methamphatamine, and injected it, at somewhere ~20X a normal dose/weight. <br /><br />So negligent it's tough to believe it was an accident - the findings from that research are still widely cited by drug-control proponents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-58068375029646945082007-01-20T12:59:00.000-05:002007-01-20T12:59:00.000-05:00Busted! NMDA is a neurotransmitter derived from aspartic acid, an amino acid. MDMA is ecstasy. Hooray for similarly-sounding acronyms. Thank you for the correction!CNDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05349466286549537039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-13923284815737883102007-01-20T06:55:00.000-05:002007-01-20T06:55:00.000-05:00Isn't NMDA an amino acid??? I thought that ecstasy was MDMA<br />(3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine). It may work on the NMDA pathway though.
