A team from the UC Davis has found a non-hallucinogenic version of ibogaine that might be useful in treating addiction, depression and other psychiatric conditions.

Ibogaine, the extract from Tabernanthe iboga, is known to be a valid weapon against addiction, reducing cravings and preventning relapses; however, it comes with side-effects, like hallus and cardiac toxicity. ut the new synthetic analog comes without those downsides, thanks to its creators swapping out some parts of the original molecule. The resulting molecule was named tabernantholog, aka TBG. It dissolves in water and can be created in just one simple step. It was shown to increase the formation of dendrites in rat nerve cells as well as of new spines inside them, similar to ketamine, LSD, MDMA and DMT.

Aren’t You A Little Too Old For Birthdays???

It’s funny

Because hyphens

Subtract numbers, yet add words

*Swings sword sing-songily*

*Shakes shoulders, haughtily*

A year later

And I’m still writing nerdy maths poems

Nothing’s changed

Except we’ve gone around the sun and come back again, alone

Try to dig my heels in

Prevent the deletions

Bring you back

Remove the spaces

To clip us at the hip

Unless I was just another number

Nothing hardly changes anything

When what you want

Is 9,246 miles away
