So I'm not going to claim to understand it fully, but Ibogaine, it's an African root.
They powder it, and you take a drink of it, and in 72 hours, you experience a total psychological dissolution, followed by a sort of repair process that has left me personally in an entirely changed and different state of mind.
Sure, sure.
So I served two tours in Iraq.
Thank you for your service.
Absolutely.
I spent my high school graduation in boot camp.
I started right away.
And I experienced combat.
I experienced murder.
I experienced killing.
And all these things used to haunt me.
When I got back, I couldn't eat.
I couldn't sleep.
I could drink.
And I started to do oxycodone just to manage the pain and the stress.
Mm-hmm.
Well, since taking Ibogaine about a week and a half ago, I experienced a total liberation from any sort of judgment I had on the situations I was put in, the situations I was there for.
For example, there was a moment in Iraq where we had gotten personal intel that one of our enemies attacking our Humvees had a location nearby.
And when we arrived, we couldn't find the suspect, but his family had occupied this tent area.
