At the present time, in the United States, ibogaine research is mostly in a twilight-zone of having been green-lighted by the FDA for clinical trials on human, drug-dependent individuals, but suspended due to a lack of research funding.
To paraphrase THEM and THOSE PEOPLE, "okay, it might work, but really, nobody wants to fund the research, and also, there's this whole entire 'tripping out' part of the equation which kinda, sorta, possibly, makes us just a little uneasy.
Furthermore, who the hell wants to invest money in a drug that people only take once. How's anybody ever going to make any money on this?

So what if it works, methadone clinics 'work' too AND they generate lotsa cash. If you don't like methadone, go take buprenorphine or LAAM while it's still available; Q-T prolongation and torsades are actually GOOD for you."
Additionally there are a large number of true-believers running around with a plethora of opinions regarding the possible efficacy of tabernanthe iboga, and what it may or may not do for you. There are a near-endless series of experiences, both first-person and secondhand, informed and uninformed; regarding ibogaine, its origins, uses, and mode of action.
