   Ibogaine and Iboga are both felonies to posesses or sell.  I 
understand that a tropical plant commonly known as "Carnation of India", 
available at many large nurseries (at least her in Texas) contains the 
same or similar alkaloids.  I would give you the latin binomial, but I 
can't find the refernce material that has it listed.  It is something 
like Tabernamontana divericaria also listing as Evrita divericaria, but I 
doubt I have the spelling just right.  I have also not been able to find 
any info about how it compares against Iboga in human toxicology (an 
important consideration); that, is maybe it is effective but is it safe? 
 
    If anyone has any info about medicinal/toxicological properties of 
"Carnation of India" (it is a small tropical tree that looks something 
like a Gardinia), I would appreciate that info.  All I have just lists it 
as a substitute for Iboga.
