Unpacking the Salvia-Iboga Link: Dr. Peter H. Addy's Insights

Everything- psilocybin, ibogaine, everything as far as I know of, is nitrogenous. And so a lot of people kind of push it to the side as what I'm terming as an atypical psychedelic, which doesn't get as much press or research interest or funding dollars.
Ever wondered how different psychedelics can connect on a deeper level? In this episode of 'Iboganautics', host A.M. chats with Dr. Peter H. Addy, a clinical psychologist with a fascinating background in psychedelic research. Dr. Addy dives into his studies on Salvia divinorum, a unique Mexican psychedelic mint, and explains why it's more than just an intriguing plant. The key lies in the kappa opioid receptor, a rare target for hallucinogens like salvia and ibogaine.
This episode tackles some big questions: What can we learn about iboga by looking at other substances that affect the same receptors? How do these interactions shape our understanding of psychedelic experiences? Dr. Addy shares insights on the traditional uses of salvia, its effects on the brain's opioid system, and the curious phenomena like laughter and temperature changes it can induce. They also touch on practical topics like how to integrate these profound experiences into everyday life.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that bridges the gap between two powerful plants.
