Sacrament of Transition has representatives from [[activist]] organizations such as the [[Students for Sensible Drug Policy]] and [[Million Marijuana March]]. Other affiliates include [[Patrick K. Kroupa]], whom the group has made a high priest, and [[Dana 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 while [[psychedelics]] such as [[LSD]] might allow a user to become aware of the damage his [[Substance dependence|addiction]] 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 to [[heroin]] addicts with the message that ibogaine can help them. Besides the use of ibogaine as a sacrament, the Sacrament of Transition remains a [[heterodox]] body, with no other disclosed dogmas. Beal has maintained that [[Jesus]] consumed a mixture of ibogaine, [[Syrian rue]], and [[cannabis (drug)|cannabis]] during the [[Last Supper]] and the [[Passion (Christianity)|Passion]].
