which grows deep in the tropical jungles
it is called iboga and it’s a cocktail
of some of the most powerful
hallucinogenic compounds known to man
you know west african village two people
desperate to change their lives or
submitting themselves to a dangerous
mind-altering ritual
there is a notion that one has to get to
a point of bouncing back Donald
joralemon is an anthropologist at Smith
College you get sick almost to the point
of dying almost to the point of not
being able to survive
this is a classic kind of rite of
passage
after only his second dose Frank reacts
violently
throwing up is normal we tea ceremony
but Frank has blood in his moment that
might terrify an outsider but to one
thing it is just a bulk working to rid
Frank of his deep-seated troubles
nakatsu hablas that’s just his problems
being released on the inside unlike
Frank bonbon still appears unaffected by
the avoca but she is refusing another
dose to her sweet tooth in boba is too
bitter to swallow
Frank is still vomiting blood but he is
now ready to let the Holy plant take him
into another world a mirror is placed in
front of him
bring on visions are put into his eyes
he stares into the mirror intently for
hours slowly losing contact with his
surroundings how vulgar causes
hallucinations is not fully understood
it is believed that iboga acts on the
brainstem causing it to release
transmitters that flood and excite cells
and the cerebellum the cerebellum is the
part of the brain where motor
coordination memory and dreams come
together these hallucinogenic effects
and lasts for well over 30 hours yo Baan
pun tried to refuse the iboga ultimately
she is made two down six doses finally
Fontbonne succumbs to the power of the
drug Frank has already had no visions
they’re pulling me out of the water and
saying look look there’s a small photo
it keeps changing it’s becoming like a
small dog
now it’s a mask it’s changing faces
start slipping into another reality as
well
I saw my father he was pushing me with
snakes I can feel my heart beat beat
here in my chest I could not wake up I
wanted to escape but my father’s
no matter how terrified the visions
there is no turning back the initiates
will have to ride it out
emerging from their experience the
following day Frank and bonbon celebrate
their rebirth according to Booty belief
iboga enabled them to journey to the
ancestors and the gods and returned
purified into a new life will it work
bonbon and Frank seem convinced that it
will
since I saw my mother it will change my
life like before I was not all here now
I am here June she said we’ll look for a
job you see I am very happy even the
entities told me the course of action to
take they told me make music that goes
everywhere they make universal music
don’t anything they said don’t let the
pass discourage you I have confidence in
yourself and I’m sure that in the long
run things will get better better than
they were before
