<i>&quot;Olson&#x27;s team selected ibogaine because it seemed to have the most daunting side effects, including hallucinations and potentially fatal heart problems. It&#x27;s also increasingly hard to find the plants that naturally contain ibogaine, and synthetic versions of the drug have been difficult to make in large quantities.&quot;</i><p><i>&quot;These obstacles make ibogaine &quot;the Mount Everest of psychedelics,&quot; Olson says.&quot;</i><p>Another candidate would have been datura and related plants.

Would love this. Psilocybin is the only thing I&#x27;ve found that knocks me out of my depression for a week or two when I&#x27;m too low to function. But I wish I could get those benefits without having to commit a full day to the psychedelic aspects of it (as I&#x27;ve gotten older it can feel less exciting and more like a chore).
