It’s hard to imagine that there is a substance in this world which can reverse drug addiction, and yet it is not legal in the country with the largest number of drug addicts. The use of Ibogaine in the Unites States could drastically reduce the number of people that are currently in rehab, and fighting with a drug problem. Understandably people are skeptical at first, this almost seems to good to be true, but the studies show that Ibogaine is safe and effective. “An estimated 3414 individuals had taken Ibogaine as of February 2006, a fourfold increase relative to 5 years earlier, with 68% of the total having taken it for the treatment of a substance-related disorder, and 53% specifically for opioid withdrawal”(Lotsof 15). Howard S. Lotsof is attempting to spread the knowledge about Ibogaine in hopes that it will become legal here in the United States. I strongly believe that Lotsof is right about Ibogaine and it is can make a drastic change in many peoples lives. For the sake of our countries future I hope people become more aware of the possibilities Ibogaine give us. Never give up Lotsof!
