I'm very interested in trying Iboga but am having a really difficult time finding information about dosing. Can't find it on the wiki here or erowid or anywhere!

Basically I want to know what average doses are for Iboga HCL, Iboga TA, powdered raw Iboga, and the raw Iboga root bark itself.

It seems really expensive to order online, 80 bucks for 1 g HCL! So I want to find the best deal. I'm thinking of ordering just the powder or bark and making tea but I still can't find solid info on dosing the tea. If I got say 25 grams of iboga powder would that be strong enough tea to share with a couple friends?

Usually everything over ten grams of rootbark is enough to flood the system, depending on the potency of the bark and your body weight. I don't know from the back of my head how that translates to pure ibogaine or TA-extracts, etc. But it should be easy to find out on the sites of company's that sell the stuff. They usually give an indication of how much plant material was used for a TA-extract.

Hey dude, what are you looking for with Iboga? A flood dose experience or low dose therapy? If low dose, then anything from a few hundred milligrams to a gram of Iboga root can be taken daily, as or when required. For a flood dose, upwards of 10g of root bark will be required. 1g of pure Ibogaine would provide a flood dose. Individual sensitivities vary, with factors such as body weight and gender having an influence, and the quality of the root bark also varies. Also the price you quote for 1g Ibogaine hcl is an incredible price for the medicine that Ibogaine is!! Please make sure you research exactly what you are getting yourself into.

Latent heart problems can kill you under the influence of iboga.

Bark is usually 3-6 percent alkaloids. It is active around 0.5 mg alkaloids/kg body mass. Flood doses are usually around 20 mg/kg. It becomes neurotoxic in mice at around 100 mg/kg.

PS it's not typically prepared as tea.

DAYS..... 36-42hrs in some cases, then there is the 16+ hours of sleep following a high flood dose.

This is powerful medicine...

10g of root bark is usually the low end of a flood dose. 28g is the upper end (from what I have read never attempted this level).

1g of pure HCL is a strong flood dose. 500mg-700mgs is a decent flood dose for most.

Females are typically more sensitive than males for some reason (independant of weight).

The more you weight the more you will need.

You will not be able to walk or move much on a flood dose.

Please research HEAVILY before taking iboga or ibogaine.

I would strongly suggest to start here: http://www.ibogaine.desk.nl/

Thanks for the advice, all. Honestly I was just curious, I've had a difficult time finding reliable information. But if I did take the plunge I would most likely start off with a low doses, and yes any friend that should participate would be informed to the best of my knowledge of its effects. For me I'd like to do a large dose eventually for its medicinal powers...

So if iboga bark is not typically made into tea then how is it consumed? Eating the raw bark?

Yup, eating the raw bark. If you do go for a large dose, make sure to get the EKG done first, and have a sitter taking your blood pressure at regular intervals. Also, you'll either need a piss-pot, or help getting to the bathroom.
