At the doses that I use, there are no words that can describe the experience and many people come out of it. Just I mean there's really nothing to say.
What happens when you bring together two powerful substances like ketamine and iboga? In this episode of 'Iboganautics', Dr. Lowan H. Stewart, an emergency physician with over two decades of experience in the clinical use of ketamine, shares his insights. Based in Oslo, Dr. Stewart has been a pivotal figure in establishing ketamine clinics in both the United States and Scandinavia.
His extensive background makes him the perfect guest to explore the intriguing overlap between ketamine and ibogaine, the main active compound in the iboga plant. Dr. Stewart dives into the pharmacology and phenomenology of these substances, highlighting how both can be used to treat conditions like depression, addiction, and neurodegenerative disorders. Ever wondered how ketamine's visionary effects compare to those of iboga? Or why iboga alkaloids are so selective for the NMDA receptor? This episode has got you covered.
Listeners will also gain fascinating insights into ketamine's low addictive potential and its unique effects on the developing brain during anesthesia. Whether you're a seasoned psychonaut or new to the world of psychedelics, this conversation promises to be both enlightening and engaging. Join the host and Dr. Stewart as they unravel the mysteries of these two potent substances and their potential to transform mental health treatment.
