Written by Betterhumans Staff    E-mail
A hallucinogen advocated as a potent anti-addiction drug has received support from research showing that it can block alcohol cravings in rodents by boosting an addiction-fighting brain protein.

The drug, ibogaine, is derived from a West African shrub called Tabernanthe iboga. For years it has attracted attention for its ability to reverse withdrawal symptoms and cravings for alcohol and other addictive substances.
