Voacanga africana is a 30 foot tall tree from the tropics of West Africa. The bark and seeds of the tree are used in Ghana as a poison, stimulant, aphrodisiac, and ceremonial psychedelic.

Voacanga Africana Root Bark is held in highest respect by certain African Shamans who use Voacanga Bark for visionary purposes and as a stimulant for long hunting trips. Voacanga africana contains voacangine, which is a common precursor in the semi-synthesis of the anti-addiction chemical Ibogaine.

On a side note, Ibogaine and Iboga, the plant that contains it naturally, are illegal in the U.S. for no apparent reason other than for competition control for the pharmaceutical companies. Or even, perhaps, to keep patients addicted to pharmaceuticals.
