Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday from a suspected overdose inside a California sober living facility. Months earlier, Gerber shared that he had traveled to Cancún, Mexico, to undergo an “ibogaine flood dose” psychedelic treatment – illegal in the USA – in hopes of overcoming chronic depression and substance dependency.
Dr. Drew, an addiction medicine specialist for decades, explains what ibogaine is, why it is used to treat opioid and cocaine addiction, why it remains illegal in the United States, and the real risks involved in ibogaine treatment.
