Answers: why when ibogaine has been proven to be 90% succesful in treating opiate addiction is it not available as a mainstream treatment? considering the extent of the problem

Just cut & pasted this from wikipedia to provide some perspective:

"The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) abandoned efforts to continue this project into clinical studies in 1995, citing other reports that suggested a risk of brain damage with extremely high doses and fatal heart arrhythmia in patients having a history of health problems, as well as inadequate funding for ibogaine development within their budget."
