The Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) is warning the public about the dangers of ibogaine use after a sudden death in Cambridge involving the psychoactive extract.
On July 4, police launched an investigation into the sudden death of a man from Waterloo Region and determined the deceased had arranged to take part in a private healing experience where he consumed ibogaine.
Ibogaine is derived from an African rainforest shrub and is not authorized for recreational or medicinal use in Canada.
On July 30, police seized suspected ibogaine and several other powders, liquids and capsules from a home in Mississauga.
Da Silva has been charged with criminal negligence causing death and selling a prescription drug recklessly.
