  • sick almost to the point of dieing? HAAAAH this shit is so safe when dosed correctly not to mention it cures almost all major addictions (opiates are a huge part of major addictions) not to mention this drugs will always change you into a better person

  • This 100% safe and natural hallucinogenic cocktail has been proven to cure Heroin, Crack, and pain medication substance abuser the first time they use it. FUCK THE FDA

  • Best thing I have ever done. The experience was miserable, but it ended my 6 year addiction to heroin. I have taken it in flood dose only once. I took it under different circumstances, but the effect was no less profound. I am so very grateful to have found this medicine.

  • The message? do drugs, trip out, stay uneducated, and eat natural poison instead of man made or pharmaceutical poison. do enough and a bear could become a talking crab eating crab cannibal sucking the life out of a dolphins beak nose so the dolphin could reincarnate as another brick in the wall. Hey teacher, leave us SQUIDS ALONE!

  • lol, i like in the description is sais "sometimes, life changing experience"......

  • god, this sort of thing is SO interesting to me. It blows my mind that some people are so afraid or so ignorant that they dismiss what is the single most important conscious experience you can have in your life. Psilocybin changed my life. Opened me up to the spiritual dimension in life and to nature. It was gorgeous and so so intense. Destroyed my ego and made me one with nature. We humans used to use these substances for tens of thousands of years before our "modern" ways made it taboo...

  • @avedic

    I'm very agree with u

  • @menacingshadows American religion = Dress up in your finest yuppie attire, listen to an old man spout off on how the gays are ruining the country, listen to more inane superstition, pretend you aren't a cult member, eat doughnuts, go home and watch football and drink beer till you pass out. America is a dark, ignorant place.

    At least in Africa they are in touch with consciousness, creativity, nature, the Earth, etc...

    What's so wrong with exploring your consciousness?

  • @avedic Retardation

  • @V1RUL what?

  • @avedic

    Just as religion is stupid, so too is using mind altering substances. If you want to touch your consciousness, go take a psychology class - oh wait, are you too brain-damaged to learn anything?

  • @JohnSmith88823 So, it's stupid because you say it is? Have you ever used psilocybin? If not, you have no idea what you're talking about. If YOU want to touch your consciousness, stop being so close minded and let go of your assumptions.

  • I call Shenanigans! Iboga is not a hallucinogen. Its a visionary agent. The images one sees have deep personal meaning, and bear no resemblence to true hallucinations, which is seeing something in your open-eye field of vision which is not there. That's the nightmare territory of psycosis or ingestion of a toxic substance resulting in random, chaotic delusions. Iboga has a soul nd it speaks to you. It doesn't babble, it doesn't break your mind. It puts your mind and soul back together.

  • Freedoms of others need not be endorsed or shunned. If you have a choice you are free. So where you live is "freedom" a buzz word? Or reality?

  • what? iboga, "a cocktail of the most powerful hallucinogenic compounds known to man"

    what? one compound, ibogaine, its very powerful, no need to shove in bullshit.

  • chew and spew!!! PASS

  • ohhhhh shit iboga sucks get peyote

  • mmm yeah schrooms...

  • vomiting blood does not sound like a good time to me

  • vomiting blood??? ya ok...

  • This "drug" has shown to have some amazing capabilities in lab research, shown to actually break hardwired chemical dependency on substances like heroin, meth, alcohol, opiates etc. sometimes after only one dose. There are actually clinics set up "under the radar" in countries like Mexico where hardcore addicts can go and receive ibogaine treatment to break their dependency. Its a pity that helpful plants get shelved out of fear before they are thoroughly and fairly researched.

  • and this ladies and gentlemen is how kanye west became so good with "his" universal music abilitys

  • This doco is sensationalized, patronizing, garbage. Explain it, don't give us creepy music, mysterious language, and cheap fades.

  • I ate half an eighth of shrooms national geographic... shits more helpful than you want to think.

  • name the people and the specific place, DAMN!

  • I really don't want to see huge lightning bolts surging throughout the diagram of the brain.

  • Don't people have to do this after hearing the song S&M by rhinana ?

  • uuuuuuuuuuu discasting

  • this seems similar to ayahuasca? is it anyone know?

  • @BrainHarvester it is not ayahuasca, it is ibogaine.. which means its not DMT as some people on here seem to think.

  • @BrainHarvester This "Iboga" their talking about is a drug called "Ibogaine", and is nothing like Peyote/Ayahuasca/DMT/Psilocybi­n/*insert hallucinogen here* Google it plz.

    It has powerful medical implications, and needs more research, not sensationalized BS like this clip.

  • its pretty much peyote

  • @a5str it pretty much isnt anything like peyote actually

  • hmm, sounds like some good shit, minus the vomiting.

  • lol they make it seem like its this crazy thing shamens have been brewing dmt related brews for probably millions of years let alone use of peyote and the native american church

  • Comment removed

  • @upupandawaayyyyyyyy You must be some fucked up dude to think this is ok. And mystical experiences? Palin? i'm 16 bro wth

  • @HumanOFtheWeek3000

    Look at how many people have been murdered and cities destroyed over and over for thousands of years because of some of the stuff believed. Personally I think this is a much better alternative.

    Who the hell are you to tell someone that their religion is crap?

  • @HumanOFtheWeek3000 No kidding eh....almost as bad as organized religion :-)

  • es ayahuasca yo les puedo enseñar la ruta del ayahuasca en la selva del peru

  • is it just me who found her body so hot...

  • this is basically a whole bunch of africans having bad trips on DMT haha

  • National Geographic, you dramatize a lot! I don`t like you anymore! you really pissed me of!

  • no... the blood is a result of his body trying too hard to reject the garbage plants

  • have found? nationalgeographic is stupid. we have believed in these substances being the key to other realities for as long as we have existed.

  • Ibogaine is a known treatment for heroin addiction. One dose and the withdrawal symptoms are gone. This could be revolutionary for opiate addicts. Fucking Oxycontin and Vicodin is the devil!!! Check it.... ibogainedrugtreatmentdotcom

  • Bonbon!!!!

  • Sounds awesome! Me want!

  • i took a hallucinogenic mix once. it reminded me to finish college and move out of parents' house, so that they would not find out how much i liked to hallucinate. Though after I moved out all the stress was gone and i did not need to take drugs anymore :-)

  • Is iboga the african version of ayahuasca?

  • @tienen23 Not in a pharmacological, chemical or botanical sense at least. But in terms of visionary and social effects, to some extent.

  • I like studying psychedelic plants. Studying is awesome in general. It's the highest of feelings when one realizes an academic and spiritual superiority over the middle mass.

  • over 30 hours? i've never had an ayahuasca journey that lasted longer than 12 hours

  • @Danman429 That's because it's it's iboga, not ayahuasca. Iboga root contains a mixture of active compounds, principally ibogaine which is an indolic alkaloid. Ayahuasca is generally a mixture of two plants, one of which contains harmine and the other of which contains dimethyltryptamine - commonly known as DMT. Both DMT and harmine are also indolic alkaloids but considerably different from ibogaine.

  • Is it me, or is she just gorgeous? Oh, and @TimeTravelTruther, DMT also exists in cat spray; it will make you trip for about ten to fifteen minutes. South Park did an episode on it.

  • frank and bon bon.

  • The potential of Iboga/Ibogaine is amazing. Even at smaller amounts the potential can be felt.

  • More demonic possession--extreme altered states all right-the dude is stone and

    occupied!

  • @rasimoo999 What do you know about the healing power of iboga? Especially in a ritual context.

  • Iboga, the substance featured in this story, is actually being used quite effectively in more liberal countries to cure addictions to seriously addictive drugs. Heroin, alcohol, tobacco. However, its not the physical side effects that do it, although I'm sure they have a bit to do with it; it is actually the powerful revelations discovered while under the influence. It is said that the spirit of iboga, will whisper in your ear powerful and startling truths.

  • get sleightly drunk before to put you in a possitive mind state, then no bad trip.

  • reality == people that cant handle drugs

  • @yikescat56 = idiot

  • reality =people that cant handle drugs!

  • pass that shit over here!

  • Yeah, Iboga is nothing to fuck with. It's used in western society to treat drug addiction, and has been known to interrupt withdrawal symptoms.

    Does it make you hallucinate? Of course. Can it kill you? If you're not careful, probably. Does it have recreational potential? Hint: would you fuck around with a grizzly bear just for kicks?

    Can it be used effectively for psychotherapy? If its users are to be believed, hell yeah.

  • @boozedduck well said.

  • bahaha i love how many people think these poisons make you somehow smarter or more in touch. no people, they make you lose touch with reality. haha

  • Comment removed

  • this is bullshit their just poisoning them selves like smoking!

  • @DaFistxProductions your an idiot. plain and simple.

  • @DaFistxProductions

    shut up

  • @BobMarleyLurks i think somebody needs a hug <3

  • this world is fucked.

    the powers that be make dmt and hallucinagens illegal because they dont

    want us to use our inner minds..

    they know what it does.. and they know its life altering, but they dont want too many people being on their level.. people who reject this freedom are merely puppets in a fucked up world. many religions hide this too..wont go into it though.. they all know the power too.. before anyone talks. they should atleast experience. without experience, there is no knowledge

  • @gabmezza Nicely said !!! Completely agree !

    Unfortchuntly this world is fuckeD!

  • @gabmezza the world isnt fucked the people are fucked. that why they need to be restrained. haha

  • "No therapeutic value"

    burn in hell, Controlled Substances Act

  • damn no wonder they freak out id be scared as shit if i was trippin balls surrounded by all that shit

  • "thats just his problems being released on the inside"

    haha yeah right that stuff is just messed up!

  • horrid stupid shit!

  • wtfitmysc.what the fuck is this mean your stupid cogs!!!

  • 6 doses you poor fool. Wait 'til you see these goddamn bats.

  • its just like LSD lol it lasted 30 hours for me

  • Comment removed

  • @FurrySoup755

    This is unlike LSD-this is healing medicine and is with DMT, the portal to the dimensions that await us after the death of our physical body. By the way, an acid trip does not last for 30 hours, neither does DMT/Ayahuasca, mushrooms etc, so I wonder as to what you took if anything.

  • @oracle945 An LSD experience can totally last 30 hours. It's all about how big of a dose you take, a thumbprint of LSD can have you tripping for a week straight.

  • OMG heavy shit

  • Lol crazy nizzas

  • damn.

  • over 30 hours is to long

  • shamans do use ayahuasca, but this is ibogaine not aya

  • The more you know.

  • I HATE ADVERTIZEMENTS!!!! >=O

  • this shit is legit!

  • i whant to smoke that shit,

  • its so nice to hear a feel good story about drugs. thanks nat geo!

  • boring !!!

  • i ordered 114 grams of Banisteriopsis Caapi vine. i know that for an ayahuasca brew Mimosa tenuiflora or syrian rue is added to increase the psychedelic effects. but can one make an ayahuasca brew using just the Banisteriopsis Caapi?

  • no .the drug in banisteriopsis is harmaline or harmane, it blocks the enzime monoamine oxidase which destroys dmt before it reaches your nervous system , therefore real ayahuasca needs both ,first the harmaline of the vine an then dmt found on several bushes and trees of the jungle, otherwise the effect in greatly diminished

  • OMGqqq i want that drug yooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • @ChristianAlfredo - Settle down Beavis! Why should I? This shit pisses me off? People watch this crap, all hypnotized and drooling like the brain dead hicks they are...

  • They make it look and sound like a Hollywood movie trailer... I just don't get it. Obviously the people at NG who did this don't think much of their audience... Pathetic. Pisses me off.

  • @borowczyk76 Calm down.

  • @borowczyk76 Yeah, I can't stand when academics try to "understand" these things rather than see and accept the beauty of the Mystery.

  • i agree. 

  • @borowczyk76

    actually, the NG, in order to keep their ratings up, have to make their programs appealing to general populace, hence the imbecile manner.

  • @pharyngealized You mean teenagers?

  • @borowczyk76 its a National geographic clip lol

  • God this is one of the most irritating clips I've watched here. I actually had to stop it half way through it got so annoying. Fire wipes? What the fuck for? Super dark music and stupid commentary. I'm not retarded, I can handle facts. I'M not expecting a spectacle from NG, this is absolute bullshit.

  • dude no shit, wtf

  • the voiceover for this is typical OTT american reality TV bullshit. And the orchestral stike noises are just as irritating. why do americans need to be spoken to in this voice to get them excited about life???

  • Speaking as a Canadian who has been to the USA. its most likely due to the very very sheltered life they live from thier government, one that they are all 100% totally oblivious too. its funny and sad.

  • @samljer it is a strange thing. if you watch bbc the commentary is usually very neutral. objective. it allows you to make your own mind up about what your seeing. american tv has this voice which makes everything sound scary and strange... as though its not reality, as if its "out there" ... is this because americans are paranoid... or are they paranoid because of shit like this? i dunno.

  • Dunno, but looking at american culture from canada, which is as close as you can get without falling in. It is amazing how in the dark they are.

    And this odd hate they have for canada is pretty fuckin weird too.

    like if we are a joke..

    In reality americans are canadians with blindfolds on lol.

  • @samljer not all americans you cant say that!

  • @samljer - They're just like Germans under Hitler, mesmerized by their media, praising animal rights over human and decrying health care for all as communism. There is little difference between Hitler's Germany and modern America, in fact many of the leaders are from the same families.

  • I can believe it, similar foreign policies it seems as well.

    USA is just a capitalist war machine.

    I hope im not alive to see the day when the world says enough.

  • Comment removed

  • i hear yha....i long for the days of "boring" pbs docs.

    this hyped up shit anoye's the fuck out of me!!!!!

  • How can someone from the states get Ibogaine? I heard its almost a cure for addiction.

  • To this day, shaman of South America utilize pure inner root bark of the Mimosa Hostilis plant for it's DMT properties. Often considered by the shamans to be a literal door between worlds; Mimosa Hostilis is regarded a teacher plant, spirit guide, and powerful plant ally. Shaman continue to utilize the DMT properties of Mimosa Hostilis inner root bark for several reasons; entering altered states of consciousness, shamanistic healing, meditation, spiritual exploration and mystical insight:)o*o

  • @TimeTravelTruther one problem, you need an MAO inhibitor if you eat it, which is what it seems to be the most used method of entry for them

  • @TimeTravelTruther yep yep dmt is amazing not only in plant form

  • @TimeTravelTruther I read that Amazonian shamans claim that most of their knowledge of medicinal plants, they learned under the influence of ayahuasca. Have you read the book DNA - The Cosmic Serpent?

  • I've read the ibogaine isn't a very pleasant experience compared to ayahuasca, but the effects last much longer

  • Their beliefs are very charming. :D

  • RustyBiscut, LD50=50% die

  • just goes to show ya that what we know as normal isnt what everyone else knows as normal

  • lmfao bon bon?! wtf

  • is Iboga , damnation!

    contain ibogaine , voacangine , tabernamontaine , etc

  • give me a DMT pipe any day.

    fuck eboga for a game of chess

  • I thought this was dmt at first.. this is ibogaine.

  • 30 hrs? 30 HRS! O MY :0

  • YO, PASS DAT SHIT!!

  • It has been proven that people during jesus's time did drugs too, improperly stored rye grains developed a mold which, was in fact LSA an analog of LSD, so basically, most of the interactions with god, and visions, were likely trips on LSD.

    Dont believe me? Research it yourself.

  • dude drugs exists since the prehistory with herbs and so on its nothing new :-p

  • or the plant made its own THC through evolution to ward off hungry animals.

    as well as most other significant psychoactive things. take bufo alvarius for example

  • Well, what if plants developed THC to get us to help them reproduce themselves? Marijuana gives us THC, and we help the marijuana plant reproduce, in mass amounts no less. Isn't that the goal of every living thing; reproduction. It's like, the same reason strawberries taste good..

  • these guys r no bullshit.

  • christians should not have a problem with smoking weed. if god put it on earth and we happened to lit the plant on fire, whats the problem with that

  • you could say the same thing about cocaine

  • cocaine is highly processed. there is a HUGE difference between chewing coca leaves and snorting a line of coke.

  • i'm not talking about cocaine m8 ;)

  • I agreee!!!!!

    God made everything right and he made all plants and animals That would mean he made it like that and he made it grow thc.

  • hell yeah dude

  • @a05pshar word, or not even lit it but just eat it in its original form!

  • ive had similar life changing experiences on hallucinogens, its risky, but its no joke.

  • me too...you just seam to feel and see things in other perspectivves when your hallucinating....things make more sense

  • what did u take?something stonger than mushrooms right?

  • Nope, just mushrooms but it still did it for me. I was addicted to opiates at the time and i had tried everything to quite, then i took some shrooms just for fun not even knowing what it would do, and it totally changed my outlook and i had no desire to continue down the path of self destruction from that point. Thats the main thing that it helped me with but it gave me a new outlook on life in general and helped to accept the hardships of life that i had previously been running from.

  • You still opiate free? You don't have to reply to me, but I've been through opiate addiction (heroin specifically), and am trying to collect short accounts of addicts stories to turn into a comic. If you're interested please reply! Thanks so much for your time.

  • Yes i am. I have no desire to do them anymore.

  • yeah but mostly good experiences right? im just assuming because i have yet to have a bad trip

  • Im yet to have a bad trip as well. Ive had too good of a trip and walked around outside naked and yelled at cops out of my window, but it was good for me, just bad for my neighbors.

    But as far as it being risky, i know by how intense my good trips where, that if they where bad they would be REALLY bad, but i have no problem with it.

    Just do it with people that can talk you out of doing stupid shit if you come up with crazy ideas. My only problem is that i did it by myself and had no boundries.

  • i somtimes trip on my own in a field with nothing to hurt myself on lol its just bliss isnt it like my own lil world

  • but yeah its best not to follow batshit insane ideas you get when trippin out on your own

  • Holler at me bon bon!

  • lucky bastards found it before the white man lol im jk im not like that lol smoke bud its for everyone :D

  • I'd try this, along with ayahuasca.

  • WANNA DO THIS SHIT!!! get rid of my inner troubles. and change my life

  • this always happens first study then invade and steal all thier stuff to make money. truth i'm getting that eboga. when that shit comes out Eboga eboga eboga

  • It's illegal here already, they aren't gonna steal it because it cures heroin addiction. The government makes too much money from keeping people on heroin.

  • herbal jungle medicines all over the world have the answers for humanity's sickness!

  • I wanna get high on this

  • if your looking to get high this it may not be the thing for you.

    check out the salvia videos with the children thinking it is a joke.

  • salvia is a 50/50 drug...it can either be about the greatest 15 minutes of your life , or you can feel like your in hell for 15 minutes

  • Anybody else notice that the narrator is very quiet, while the guests are relatively very loud

  • Psilocybin is the way to go.

  • thats sick

  • Funny how many people will do acid or shrooms in the 1st world and come to these amazing types of realizations and they are considered wacko losers on drugs, but it's fascinating for us to watch another culture take a hallucinogen that will bring you near death and respect that custom.

  • Drug dealers should try selling this shit in the western world...they could sell it as Skooma....haha Oblivion rules!

  • ahh fuck yeah man!! haha im hooked on that shit,

  • WHERE DO I GET IBOGAINE!!
