We hear it all the time: “This place looks solid, great site, years of history, sounds professional on the phone.” So we decided to verify it the only way that matters, by showing up in person. What our volunteer found in Spain wasn’t just disappointing. It was dangerous.
The directions were useless. Our volunteer drove in circles for hours and only managed to find the location late at night by sheer luck. After knocking with no response, they had to ask a stranger at a gas station for help before finally getting someone to answer.
The owner opened the door alongside a single client bundled in a coat and hat because there was no heat. Inside, the place was nearly empty. No staff, no activity, nothing that felt like a real clinic. The client’s expression made it clear something wasn’t right.
Things got worse quickly. The food was leftover and poorly stored. The room hadn’t been cleaned, the floors were dirty, and basic kitchen items were broken or unusable. Our volunteer ended up sleeping fully clothed on top of the sheets.
The next morning, no one was around. There was no food, no preparation, and no sign of professionalism. Our volunteer had to take the client into town just to get groceries. The owner didn’t show up until after 1 PM, despite a ceremony planned for that night.
Instead of proper preparation, the delay was blamed on tarot cards. That night, what followed was a makeshift ceremony that felt unstructured and far from anything resembling a legitimate medical or therapeutic environment.
When it came time to dose the client, the EKG monitor didn’t work. A backup device was also broken. Despite having no working medical equipment, the process continued after the client had already taken the dose.
The owner told our volunteer to just observe with no instructions or training. For eight hours, the volunteer was left alone to help the client with basic needs like water, bathroom support, and reassurance.
The next morning, the client woke up hungry but the owner was gone. Six hours later, he returned as if nothing had happened. At that point, the client was frustrated, and our volunteer stayed only to make sure things didn’t get worse.
This was not a clinic, it was a risk. No medical checks, no staff, no working equipment, and no proper care. Ibogaine is powerful and requires real safety measures, not guesswork.
That is why Ibopedia exists. We do not rely on appearances, we verify clinics in person and provide real ratings. If you are considering ibogaine treatment, check trusted sources first. Your safety depends on it.
