Ibogaine and Drug Tests
by Erowid

Tested for in Standard Drug Tests?	NO
Tested for in Extended Drug Tests?	NO
Detection Period in Urine	Unknown

We are not aware of any simple drug tests that would show ibogaine usage. Ibogaine is not one of the NIDA-5 standardly tested for in the basic drug test, nor is it included in the extended drug tests. It is not chemically similar to any of the drugs tested for, so should not trigger the tests as another substance. It would be possible to detect it and its metabolites in blood or urine, but a lab would specifically have to decide to look for it and would probably require specialized assays not normally used by drug testing companies.

We are unaware of Ibogaine ever having been tested for (in urine or blood), most likely because of its extreme rarity.
