Ibogaine in pure form with proper protocol is absolutely ground breaking and will change the way we treat many diseases from addiction to depression.

Links involving MDMA, LSD, and shrooms often get upvoted to the top of HN. Is there anywhere to read the consensus on news, both legal and scientific, on what’s the current status of psychedelics and recreational drugs worldwide?

Maybe not the user experience you're intending, but the The Vaults of Erowid is a decent start.

Are there accounts of what it's like to use psilocybin in a clinical setting? I'm imagining tripping in a therapist's office. Doesn't sound very pleasant.

Structurally it's something like cognitive behavioral therapy I'm sure. The doses probably won't be high enough to be tripping much?

Not psilocybin, but this exact topic is covered in the book DMT: The Spirit Molecule, by Dr. Rick Strassman.

My memory is a bit fuzzy on his exact points, but the clinical setting was definitely found to have a detrimental effect on the experience.

One of the best and most unique web sites I've ever visited also. It's 90's classic internet but nothing has come along to do things it does better.

Therapy while "tripping" is very different then the "recreational way". Remember, set and setting are important.
