Perspectives: Voices and Views

The people inside it. The arguments around it.

Two kinds of content live here: profiles of the people ibogaine actually happened to, and editorial pieces that take on the harder questions the rest of the space tends to sidestep.

Patient and practitioner profiles are verified and reviewed by the subject before publication. Nothing goes out without their sign-off.
Analysis pieces represent the author's view and are labeled clearly. We don't dress up argument as reporting.
We don't romanticize outcomes or paper over complexity. Both the profiles and the analysis pieces are honest about what this thing is.
No financial relationship with any clinic. Profiles and analysiss are independent of the directory.
The Church

Justin LaPree

He is serving ibogaine legally in Texas right now. Not through a regulatory exemption. Through the First Amendment.

The Doctor

Dr. Omar Calderón

His license is what makes a clinic legal to operate. His judgment is what keeps a patient alive. He was often the last person the owners told about who was coming in next week.

The Parkinson Patient

Jim Koch

He hid his tremors for ten years; only his wife knew. When his neurologist warned him the ibogaine data wasn’t there, Jim had an answer: then he would rather be the data.

The Mother

Diane Hall

She opened an Instagram account for one reason: to find the thing that might still save her son. After a decade of rehabs that did not hold, the answer came back from a stranger she had never met.

New profiles as they publish.
