The end of craving



18-mc or ibogaine, a miracle drug that seems to be able to cure addition. Wow! The first thing that comes to mind is why doesn’t the government jump on this? Why would something that gives the addict the smallest chance of a drug free life be over looked? I can not help but ask, does the government want addicts, and is there something the general public doesn’t know? Lots of questions and very few answers. If we have a drug that can cure or help people who have become addicted to drugs, and its important to remember that all these people are not drug abusers, living on the fringe of society. Some are people that have been in accidents or suffer from some other injury that may have lead to their addiction.
Once again I have to ask why we do not jump on this research. The first thing that comes to mind is “big pharmaceutical companies” could they be blocking this. After all they make millions from prescription drugs every day. Many of these prescriptions are used by people who have a drug problem. If there was a way to stop addiction, it would probably cost the drug industry millions, if not billions of dollars.
I can not help but wonder how many people on capital hill know about this research and do nothing. I hope for the sake of all the addicts in the world, some one takes the initiative to bring this research and its possibility to the public’s attention.

Some people with injurys rely on meds to get by. You have to remember Mark that not all drugs come from drug companys. Some drugs come from the feilds and are taxed above and beyond (smoking and coffee). Booze is another drug that has heavy taxes on it. For every action is a reaction. Someone is going to pay reguardless. Why not deaden that pain with a drug?
