Story summary
Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford, posted a video on Instagram in March where he discussed his fear and desperation before undergoing an ibogaine treatment at a wellness clinic in Cancún, Mexico. Ibogaine is a psychedelic drug used to treat substance use disorders but is illegal in the US. Gerber revealed his terror and commitment to overcoming his addiction struggles, stating "I faced what I had been running from." The video showed him preparing for the ibogaine flood dose with a calming ritual, reflecting on his journey to confront his demons. His sister Kaia praised him for his bravery in battling addiction. Tragically, Gerber died unexpectedly at another rehab facility just months after posting this video.
