Sacrament of Transition is anew religious movement based inSlovenia,[1][2][3][4][5] based on and promoting thesacramental use of thepsychoactive plantTabernanthe iboga and its psychoactive chemical constituentibogaine. The founder of Sacrament of Transition is Marko Resinovic. The organization routinely sponsors psychedelic-related conferences and meetings.[6][7][8] It was officially registered in 1999.[9]
Sacrament of Transition has representatives fromactivist organizations such as theStudents for Sensible Drug Policy andMillion Marijuana March. Other affiliates includePatrick K. Kroupa, whom the group has made a high priest, andDana Beal, founder of Cures Not Wars, the North American Apostolic Delegate. Discussing addiction and his ibogaine use at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in early 2006, Kroupa said that whilepsychedelics such asLSD might allow a user to become aware of the damage hisaddiction was doing, "The flesh doesn't let you forget... But with ibogaine, the Light comes back down with you." The Sacrament of Transition actively proselytizes toheroin addicts with the message that ibogaine can help them. Besides the use of ibogaine as a sacrament, the Sacrament of Transition remains aheterodox body, with no other disclosed dogmas. Beal has maintained thatJesus consumed a mixture of ibogaine,Syrian rue, andcannabis during theLast Supper and thePassion.
