I do not have experience with iboga but have some experience with South American plant medicines. I spent some time in Peru apprenticing with an ayauascero. I do not recommend administering these medicines to yourself without expert supervision or protection. This includes more common ethneogens like psilocybin mushrooms.
That said I have taken many unnecessary risks myself in the past and if you find it too difficult to find assistance and feel compelled to experiment, make sure you observe Tim Leary's suggestion for "set and setting" which refers to finding a safe location and creating a peaceful and expansive state of mind.
Many of these medicines bring on states of transitional awareness that can be vulnerable so protection is key. That being said, I am a proponent of the benefits. Also if you want to take a safer route, I highly recommend meditation or yoga, particularly kundalini yoga which I believe may be one the fastest and most powerful tools for transformation and peace of mind.
