I'm Dangerous with Love is a 85 min. documentary by Michel Negroponte concerning addiction and rehabilitation, activism and shamanism. It tells the story of Dimitri Mugianis who starts out as the heavily addicted front man for the band Leisure Class and ends his long drug and alcohol addiction with an experimental treatment that use ibogaine, a psychoactive substance extracted from the roots of the African shrub Tabernanthe Iboga.
I'm Dangerous with Love is an underground adventure that traces Dimitri's risky journey as he treats desperate drug users. But then one session goes bad in a remote snowed-in Canadian home and a quiet young man almost dies. Dimitri must decide whether or not to continue his mission. Is it serving the addicts or simply releasing his own demons?
Dimitri travels to Gabon, West Africa, to consult with Bwiti shamans, and put himself through a punishing iboga initiation in search of guidance....
I'm Dangerous with Love
( Ibogaine is a controlled substance in USA (Schedule 1 c.s.) and other Western countries and its healing/ritual use is currently illegal. The Harm Reduction Coalition has started the Bwiti Now! fund to support the recognition of Bwiti in U.S. as a religion and legalize iboga as a sacred plant medicine and sacrament of the Bwiti practice.
You can support and take immediate action by contacting the Harm Reduction Coalition, a 501(c)3 non-profit and making a tax-deductible donation in support of the Bwiti Now! fund.
