Conor McGregor has publicly shared details of a profound experience during Ibogaine treatment in Mexico, describing a vision of his own death and a subsequent encounter with Jesus. Ibogaine, a psychoactive substance derived from a West African plant, is increasingly explored for its potential in treating drug addiction and traumatic brain injuries. McGregor stated that he was “shown what would have been my death,” witnessing its impact on his children and experiencing the afterlife perspective from within a coffin.
McGregor further detailed a spiritual awakening, stating he was visited by the Holy Trinity, including Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and “anointed with a crown” after Jesus descended from heaven. He declared himself “saved” following this intense experience. While anecdotal reports suggest Ibogaine can induce vivid hallucinations and spiritual experiences, Stanford Medicine notes its primary use and research focus remains on addiction and TBI. The compound’s ability to potentially induce such profound personal transformations warrants further scientific scrutiny.
