While both substances are explored for their therapeutic potential, particularly in addiction and mental health, they also carry risks, with iboga posing potentially fatal cardiovascular dangers. The text outlines the preparation, traditional origins, purported benefits, and potential risks associated with each psychedelic. Ultimately, it highlights the significant effects these substances can have on individuals seeking personal and spiritual growth or relief from various conditions, while stressing the importance of medical consultation and experienced guidance.
