IBO Radio


For a number of years this was the official site for IBO Radio. Content is from the site's 2012 archived pages.

Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance found in plants in the Apocynaceae family such as Tabernanthe iboga, Voacanga africana and Tabernaemontana undulata. It is a psychedelic with dissociative properties. ~Wikipedia

Truth out:
In the intervening years since Peter Frank's book was published, the US government unfortunately has not changed its attitude towards Ibogaine. Today, it is still illegal in the United States since it is considered a Schedule I drug. To varying degrees, it’s available in other countries, including Canada, Mexico, and several European countries. Although like marijuana there are medical uses for Ibogaine particularly in its use in treating addiction for opiates and other highly-addictive drugs, it is not high on the agenda for the US government passing any legislation decriminalizing it any time soon.
And let's face it, the fall out of the Covid 19 pandemic is still the most important issue for our government to deal with, along with its economic repercussions. We can forget about its drug status changing any time soon.

Recently a friend called to get some information about Ibogaine in New Zealand. A great place to go, I said. Ibogaine has been medicalized in New Zealand and can be obtained with a prescription and taken under medical supervision. As a result, you can go to an ibogaine treatment center in New Zealand that offers an ibogaine prescription under the supervision of a medical professional. However with the pandemic still not under control, such a trip is not such a smart move. She then asked me for an assisted living facility recommendation. Her parents were at the point where living on their own was no longer feasible and they didn't want to be a burden on her. They would be willing to consider an assisted living facility. I suggested Hart Heritage Estates which has two assisted living communities in the Bel Aire area of Maryland. That's where my mother spent the last several years of life. She absolutely loved the 6.5 acres of park-like grounds of the facility, loved the staff, and enjoyed all the social activities that were available. The facility she stayed at is in Forest Hill. Hart Heritage is certified to care for about 55 residents whose needs may require a higher level of care and assistance, but do not want to be in a nursing home. My friend thought it sounded perfect. I will send an email with a link where you can learn more about Hart Heritage Estates.

Then I went on to tell my friend about a funny incident when my mother was at Hart Heritage. She had Frank's book: Ibogaine Explained: Everything You Need to Know About the World’s Most Powerful Psychedelic on her bed stand when a doctor came to visit her one time. She said he kept glancing at the book and then at her. Apparently the doctor was from the UK where Ibogaine is classified as an unlicensed, experimental medicine which is legal to possess but illegal to distribute. My mother and he got into a lengthy discussion about reports of toxicity-related complications with ibogaine use. As a doctor he was pretty knowledgable about Ibogaine. Obviously he was curious about the book being on my mother's night stand and her interest in the drug. I don't know if she revealed that I had brought it in for her to read! My mother was quite a hippie in her youth and apparently loved tripping on LSD! Turns out she was intrigued with the drug. My mother was quite the free spirited b individual!

IBO-Radio’s Own Peter Frank’s Book Out on Kindle

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Damon

Please purchase and download Peter Frank’s new book, “Ibogaine Explained: Everything You Need to Know About the World’s Most Powerful Psychedelic,” on Kindle E-Book. The Print version is coming soon. Here is the description:

NOTE: A paperback edition of this book will be available in May.

Ibogaine is the world’s most powerful psychedelic. It has helped thousands of people overcome addiction to pain medicines, heroine, crack/cocaine, meth, and alcohol without withdrawal symptoms or cravings. It has also helped many people with depression, PTSD, and “legal” addictions.

This book will tell you everything you need to know about Ibogaine: its history, the scientific research, how a treatment works, and how to make the most of your treatment in the weeks and months that follow.

Peter Frank has been working with ibogaine for over eight years. He is the former host of Ibo-Radio, an online radio show dedicated to Ibogaine and psychedelics.

Peter Frank
Peter Frank found ibogaine in his early 20s while going through a painful existential crisis. Ibogaine took him right to the heart of that crisis - and just as the pain became unbearable, ibogaine revealed to him the simple beauty of being alive.

Contact

Prospective, IBO Radio Guests:

Please contact IBO Radio if you would like to appear on the show as a guest or want to see IBO Radio ask a specific person on as a guest.  IBO Radio will attempt to look at every angle of the Ibogaine Advocacy Movement.  So, with that in mind, our shows will focus the bulk of interviews on Iboga/Ibogaine providers, suppliers, activists, Bwitists, and investors working in failed drug policy reversal and, in the very least, Schedule II status in the USA for Ibogaine and other beneficial entheogens. This list is not to exclude other categories of guests that will appear on our internet radio broadcast as we progress, gain a regular audience, and grow in financial support.

General Contact:

For all other questions, comments, ideas for improvement, or just to introduce yourself and tell us how you like the show.
