Jason Sears of Santa Barbara died Tuesday in a Tijuana clinic where he was being treated with ibogaine.

Fans of the punk band Rich Kids on LSD were mourning the death of singer Jason Sears after learning he died this week at a Tijuana detoxification clinic while attempting to kick a drug problem.

Ibogaine is a drug derived from a West African plant that can help overcome addiction and eliminate withdrawal, according to some studies.
