My latest blog post is on how #ibogaine affects the heart, leading to arrhythmia and cardiac arrest in some cases. I look at what increases/decreases these risks. One option is to use a non-hallucinogenic analogue, which has antidepressant and anti-addiction properties but without the heart risks.

Join me in Exeter, UK at Breaking Convention April 17-19, 2025. My colleague Dan Moore and I will share our short talk "Integrating Exceptional Experiences: Psychedelics, NDEs, and Lucid Dreaming" See you there? breakingconvention.co.uk
