Found in the rainforests of West-Central Africa, the Iboga shrub’s bark is chewed and works as a stimulant in smaller doses, and as a means to alter consciousness in larger ones. An Iboga bark-induced trip comes in two phases:

1) Up to four hours of hallucinations
2) A period where you introspectively explore past memories and experiences (Translation: Every terrible decision you’ve ever made comes back to haunt you.)

The extract of the bark, ibogaine, is restricted or outlawed in many countries and sometimes used to cure opiate addiction. It’s illegal in the U.S.
