Study Hall Member Mattha Busby Reported On The Potential Dangers of Ibogaine, a Psychedelic Substance
For Rolling Stone, Mattha Busby reported on how taking Ibogaine could be potentially harmful even when it’s at a specialized clinic.
Busby told Study Hall: “It all started when I was reporting for VICE in 2022 and took the intense psychedelic myself. I met a man, let’s call him David, during my stay at the clinic, and later discovered he had died. I found that the clinic did not want to discuss it and underwent a year-long investigation. After the story was published, the clinic released a positive testimonial attributed to David.”
The story was a partnership between Rolling Stone and Doubleblind.
Busby’s work has appeared in The Guardian, VICE, Time, and other outlets.
