As far as I know it's only legal to grow over here in Aus. Not too sure on importing restrictions but I do know that making preparations from the plant and ingesting it is illegal over here! :)

This is straight from SAB on importation of Iboga.

"Under customs law the importation of 1g of ibogaine is equivalent to importing 1g of heroin. The importation of 100g of iboga bark is equivalent to importing 100g of heroin. The importation of 1g of ibogaine dissolved in 100ml of water/alcohol (eg a tincture) is equivalent to importing 100g of heroin."

So I would say yes. Quite illegal to import.

It's a wonderful plant to grow though. Particularly up here in the tropics. It's flowers and fruit are beautiful. I have one just outside my bedroom window and I swear it acts as an oneirogen just growing there.

it has one of the most complex and long lasting effects on the CNS. Ibogaine alone acts on a great many receptors. The anti-addiction effects (also from Noribogaine) last for weeks.
I would call it the most sacred plant from Africa.

What kind of acacias are in with, mindperformer?

And OpiumFreak, a quick search turns up iboga as illegal to import to Sweden (and has been since before the time of your post)
what's it going to be then, eh?

In the small greenhouse are Acacia simplex- plants

and yes, Sweden is one of the few countries where Iboga is illegal, but I think this doesn't refer to the plant itself, only the dried materials and Ibogaine...
I remember some Europe-wide selling research-chemical shops in Sweden, but after they were "busted", many laws changed...
