Nico Adriaans was one of the founders of both the Rotterdam Junkies Union and Dutch Addict Self-Help (DASH). DASH was an ibogaine self-help organization that petitioned the Dutch government and organized drug users to demand ibogaine availability. DASH provided ibogaine at no cost to heroin users.

“FM- I'm not really privy to what's happening in that regard here in the US. Suffice to say, nothing has worked which is why we're here. We feel that continuing the focus offshore, outside the US, has not served a majority of people inside the US. Like many other grassroots movement, which facilitated change, treatments, sessions, need to be done where they belong, in all major US cities, as cost effectively as possible. “

How Ibogaine is Viewed
![Page 25: 1. Ibogaine (brief review) 2. Ibogaine Development Introduction to Presentation by HS Lotsof 2006 NYC Ibogaine Conference Columbia University Saturday,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d245503460f949faf22/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ibogaine represents both harm reduction and demand reduction
DEA desk officer in the Netherlands asks how the Dutch are allowing a demand reduction drug like ibogaine to be researched in the Netherlands?
Ibogaine proponents view the drug as significant harm reduction tool and basis for political action.

Prejudice
A generally negative preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience

Prejudice incorporates
Stigma
A mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person : the stigma of chemical dependence.
Discrimination
The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things.

Prejudice, stigma and discrimination, in part, determine what drugs will be regulated, what drugs will not be regulated and what medications will be or not be made available to treat chemical dependence
![Page 31: 1. Ibogaine (brief review) 2. Ibogaine Development Introduction to Presentation by HS Lotsof 2006 NYC Ibogaine Conference Columbia University Saturday,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d245503460f949faf22/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ibogaine Effects on Stigma
Ibogaine is reported to have the ability to remove the stigmatized condition, transforming the patient to a state often described as a preaddictive.
![Page 32: 1. Ibogaine (brief review) 2. Ibogaine Development Introduction to Presentation by HS Lotsof 2006 NYC Ibogaine Conference Columbia University Saturday,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d245503460f949faf22/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Additional Ibogaine Effects on Stigma
The transformation of a stigmatized person into one who is not stigmatized will have significant effects on the person and the society within which the individual lives as it allows for personal growth and the possibility of a greater contribution to society. This dynamic is expressed within the activities of the ibogaine advocacy movement in the services they offer to chemically dependent persons and the political actions taken to promote ibogaine availability.

Profit is a core issue in the pharmaceutical industry whose primary purpose is to return profit to corporate shareholders.
This effects what drugs will be developed and the areas of medicine for which drugs will be available.

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funds 85% of drug addiction research worldwide
![Page 37: 1. Ibogaine (brief review) 2. Ibogaine Development Introduction to Presentation by HS Lotsof 2006 NYC Ibogaine Conference Columbia University Saturday,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d245503460f949faf22/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
NIDA Initially Rejects Ibogaine Research.
NIDA was petitioned to perform ibogaine research 1984 - 1990, first by the Dora Weiner Foundation and from 1986 on by NDA International, Inc., a company established to make ibogaine available as an approved medication. In 1991, NIDA formed its Medications Development Division (MDD) and accepted a Product Profile Review (PPR) from NDA International that resulted in NIDA starting their ibogaine research program.
![Page 38: 1. Ibogaine (brief review) 2. Ibogaine Development Introduction to Presentation by HS Lotsof 2006 NYC Ibogaine Conference Columbia University Saturday,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d245503460f949faf22/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The following are examples demonstrating the scientific contention between NIDA and pro-ibogaine researchers that played out between 1988 and 2000.

18-methoxycoronaridine and noribogaine have not been administered to human subjects. Ibogaine remains the only iboga alkaloid that has been shown to be effective in humans, supporting claims made in the original ibogaine patents awarded between 1985 and 1992.

Why ibogaine is not available
1. Industry deems ibogaine not to be profitable. (not a maintenance drug)
2. The molecule is found in nature and cannot be owned.
3. Stigmatized patient population with liability higher than general population.
4. Government, industry and academia chose to place their interest to treat narcotic dependence in the development of opiate drugs with which they are familiar.
5. Ibogaine represents a new scientific paradigm to the understanding of addiction.
6. Lack of prioritization of pharmacotherapies.
7. Intellectual conformity.

Paths to ibogaine availability
1. Pharmaceutical company or government agency prepared to finance regulatory development.
2. Supplies of pharmaceutical grade ibogaine.
3. Grassroots constituency demanding availability of ibogaine.
4. Political advocacy movement to pressure government and industry into action.
5. A scientific community supporting ibogaine research.

Why ibogaine should be available
Based on drug user reports ibogaine is a medication that significantly reduces withdrawal signs and interrupts drug craving thus returning patients to what they describe as a preaddictive state. This is a state that most drug users thought they would never experience again after years of being dependent. It is a state in which free choice is returned to the user and that is important to understand.
