A repeatable reading method
Start with the account. Then widen the frame.
Experience narratives can be meaningful records of what a person understood and felt in a particular setting. They are not controlled studies, and they cannot by themselves answer whether a substance is safe or effective. A useful starting point is the broader ibogaine narrative resource, which keeps that difference visible throughout.
“A recurring theme is not a conclusion. It is a prompt to ask better questions about context, selection, and uncertainty.”
