“……I wake up and the bed is all wet. It’s 8am. I haven’t pissed in it and neither has she. I move and the bedclothes peel away from my sweaty body, letting in a bit of cold air. It’s freezing. She gets up and deals with the kids, who are watching TV. I can’t stand the TV in the mornings. She puts the kettle on, turning up all the rings of the stove so it will heat up the kitchen. Makes the veins stand out a bit better.

I want the relief and the warmth now. I need to smell it behind my nose and feel the heat behind my eyes now. I keep pushing the plunger and it all goes in. I wonder whether to flush it, to try to wash every last particle of smack out of the works with blood and shove it into me.

I try once and I don’t lose the vein. I don’t feel stoned, none of that comforting thickness in my throat. Just a little smacky hint. She bundles the kids off to school. I turn the TV off and she turns it back on again. I can see myself in the mirror on the mantelpiece.A week’s growth, a really stupid haircut I used to be so good-looking I can’t stand to look. I used to have some potential I don’t know where it went I used to have some prospects. I turn away from the mirror…”

“…The government doesn’t want you to know about a rainforest shrub that cures “the great twentieth-century malaise” after one dose. But who’s really keeping Ibogaine from the people who need it?”

A new ibogaine clinic just opened in Ensenada Mexico. Please visit
