“have been a contributor to the opioid epidemic. You're also not allowed to take people off of Suboxone or methadone. Wow. Right. So you can't do a study where you look at the effect of ibogaine and hoping to effectively taper people off of those medications because you're potentially exposing them to fatal overdose risk if they're not on those medications anymore.”
“And that's things like buprenorphine or methadone to treat opioid addiction. I realize the answer to the question I'm about to ask doesn't really exist in the mechanistic neurobiological literature, but clinically speaking, I'm curious how the following scenario might work.”
“from the treatment centres that actually can curb demand. What people need is access to methadone clinics, to treatment centers and rehab centers that aren't scams. I've reported on scam rehab centers as well, that are actually incentivized to treat people.”
“Do you make drugs decriminalized like Portugal? I think that is one of the paths. I really do think you have to start investing a lot of money in treatment centers in access to drugs like ibogaine and Buprenorphine and methadone.”
