Does anyone know of anyone using the drugs listed here (ibogaine was one) to help addicts? Because of the FDA, is this something illegal? It would be fascinating if cryptocurrencies permitted a black market for drug trade that allowed concerned citizens to buy these drugs and distribute them to addicts without fear of interference by the federal government. A silk road that we could all stand behind.

It truly seemed to help each of them to begin with, but after about 6 months each one of them relapsed -- probably due to the lack of counselling and dealing with the original reasons they started using to begin with, I'd wager. Two of them are dead from overdoses, the other I'm unsure, I haven't seen or heard from him in years now.
