Has anyone done Iboga this way? I have 72 grams of root bark and 4 grams of TA. I was told to take 50 grams of RB and make a tea with 2 liters of water.Adding lemon to bring out the alkaloids.Drink this and then, I guess he's saying take 1 grams of TA a day following flood? I'm a little confused about this.

Thats impressive if you could find Iboga, are you in the USA? I would love to try Ibogaine at some point in my life it seems pretty impossible to find in the US though. I'm sorry for not answering your question. I'll do a little research and see what I can find on the topic! ~Blessings

"A Simple Way To Prepare a Iboga Total Alkaloid Extract
25g of root bark is sufficient quantity for a flood per person, although potency and individual sensitivities vary, for others half this amount may be sufficient. The root bark is ground into a powder (a coffee grinder works well for this). The powder is added to a large jar, containing a good amount of distilled white vinegar.

This is simply kept for five days to a week and shaken a few times a day. The vinegar will become dark from all the alkaloids, and this first extraction will pull the vast majority of the alkaloids. Filter this solution with a cotton shirt or with a coffee filter, and keep the liquid.

A bottle with a funnel and a coffee filter works well for filtering. Scrape the iboga back into the jar, add more vinegar and repeat the process, twice more for a duration of two days each time. If you want you can then bury the depleted root bark in the soil and return it to the Earth from whence it came.

The vinegar extractions can be combined, poured into a glass baking dish and placed in the oven. Heat at 200°F with the oven door open with regular checking. When dry, bring out and allow to cool, and then scrape up with a knife. It can be wrapped in foil and frozen for long term storage or placed into empty ‘00’ capsules ready for use.

If someone is in more of a rush to extract the alkaloids, the root bark can be covered in distilled vinegar and simmered on low heat for 60-90 minutes, then filtered and the liquid kept aside, and this process is repeated 3 times."

Not sure if this helps!

It seems by drinking 2 liters of the root bark tea, I'd be in for a pretty hefty barf.lol.In a flood don't I want some of both the root bark and the TA?

I just want to say,that I'm not a foolish kid trying to get high.This is a very serious undertaking.I have a deep spiritual quest and wish to gain more consciousness.I no there is a post experience that can be unsettling.So I continue to investigate.I should probably grind the bark down and just chew it as the taste doesn't really bother me.

whoahh...OWLsWSDM...25 grams would be an awfull lot for most people. For most people, something in between 15 and 20 grams would be more than enough i think.

This is iboga we're talking about, so 25% more than needed is A LOT more.

Whoever told you to take 50 grams is giving you very bad advice. To start offering any dosing suggestions we will need to know your bodyweight as a first thing.

Flood doses are best utilized in the event of needing to kick lifelong life threatening addictions and are best given in under the care of a trained medical professional. Personal growth and spiritual insight can be had from much smaller (and safer) doses.

Since it sounds like this being used moar for curiosity and personal exploration, you shouldn't nee to push beyond like 10 grams of rootbark or a half a gram of TA extract for your purposes. Even then these are very high end doses, the 5 gram/250mg range should be plenty suitable for full on experience.

Iboga in any form can be hard on the heart, consider getting an EKG before jumping into this medicine especially at higher doses.

Tea works fine, but for initiatory doses the TA in capsules will be much easier to ingest and digest. Then the rootbark can be microdosed as needed afterward.

Be safe and be sure to do plenty of research before approaching this one. eboka.info is a great information resource, albeit not as active as it used to be.

According to psychonautwiki, a common dose of iboga is 15 - 22 mg/kg of body weight.

This is for a spiritual journey as life is anyway,however I am 59 yrs old, was 9 yrs drug and alcohol free and a doctor prescribed adderall for what she thought was adhd? Anyway it's straight up amphetamine! I didn't like the was it made me feel so after a month, I stopped abruptly,which I don't think is suggested.What happened next has been he'll.It set off this obsession for cocaine which was a drug I used to the point of death previously.Now even though I attend meetings regularly,have a sponsor,in which I tell everything.Help new comers,etc...Anyway I can't seem to stop.I'll go 2 or 3 weeks and all of a sudden I binge for a day.Its awful.I have gotten an EKG,bloodwork,including liver count and all is good so far.I'm planning this flood in a few weeks at a retreat center for meditators.My long time friend is letting me stay in a small cabin near his house which I helped build.Its even made from a tree he cut down in the very spot that we milled into boards.I need help from my ancestors and Iboga.I want it as well.Sure I'm nervous.I'm reading everything I can get my hands on.I told my friend to do the same because I might be his sitter? I appreciate the opportunity to be able to share this with you.

Thanks for elaborating on your experience and intentions, makes a lot more sense why you wanna go for the flood now. It sounds like you've done your homework and got your bases covered. There is a collection of general tripsitter resources here that you and/or your friend can read through, but def continue digging into the Iboga specific data as it's a bit of a different beast than other psychedelics, but they should give a good foundation (or refresher) on sitter etiquette.

Don't forget that environment/lifestyle changes are the biggest factor in maintaining sobriety after the reset, so be sure to plan for the long term. Best of luck in your endeavor.

Given the fact that you have plenty of rootbark, you could choose to flood yourself gradually: Instead of taking a large dose at once, you take a little more, but spread over a 2 or 3 of days.
If you do it this way, it will be easier to cope with and you will experience less side effects. There will be less puking and so on.

Dragonslayer-what would this way look like?Chew 2 grams every couple hours? What about the 4 grams of TA I have? Or do it post flood.

I don't know how TA relates to rootbark, so i can't answer the TA part. But yeah, if you eat about half a gram every hour (on average), you'll get there. Ofcourse, if you want to flood, the scary part is that at some point you're already tripping hard, and you'll have to keep eating.
Taking everything at once is more like jumping off a cliff with your eyes closed, but when you do it the slow way, you realy do get a picture at some point, of what you're getting yourself into.
