Ayahuasca!

Interested to know if anyone here has tryed Ayahusca. For those of you who are not familiar with it, it's a plant from the Amazon which contains the naturally occurring compound DMT. It's been used by the locals in South America for religious and spiritual ceremonies for thousands of years, and is supposed to give the user psychological healing, personal growth, or expanded consciousness. It's recently seen a resurgence among celebrities, entrepreneur and lifestyle type figures, and dumb hippies. What do you fellow monkeys think? Would you dare to try Ayahuasca or other hallucogenic drugs?

Holy shit just stick to shrooms. Also, I attribute probably 200-300 DXM trips in my formative years to a lot of good stuff.

Ayahuasca would be interesting to try in the right environment. I’ve done DMT before, and it was interesting, but I likely didn’t consume anywhere near the amount required for the occurrence of some sort of “break-through” experience.

I’ve done LSD once as well; can be scary if you’re an obsessive thinker in any way and don’t have a very firm grasp on how to control your thinking.

Have never done shrooms and probably won’t.

Although I’ve had a couple of interesting experiences with hallucinogens, I’d not recommend them to the vast majority of people.

I haven't done it, although have used loads of various psychedelics. IMO everyone with a stable mind would benefit from trying mushrooms at least once in their life!

Haven't used them in 2 - 3 years but used to use them as a quick way to rapidly destress when I was working crazy hours/shit work once every 6 months or so. I swear it's the equivalent of going on a 2 week vacation.

 

So you like to rip off the little guy and only support the giant drug producing organizations? Pathetic.

Go fair trade bro. Be true to yourself and the suppliers.

sb'd btw.

 

For me it was. I had no direction at the time, and coming out of it I just had this strong motivation to crush life. It’s a complete cleanse, I mean this literally because you puke your brains out. I think sometimes human beings need experiences that take them completely out of their comfort zone to progress, and ayahuasca will definitely do that.

 

My uncle used to do it many times, with a cult-like group in a church.

My uncle also has a criminal record, multiple DUIs, and spent quite some time in a federal prison.

He has never held a job for more than 2 years, drives a car that doesn’t belong to him, and has never been in good standing with a member of his family for more than 1 year without fucking it up.

Let me know how your experience goes.

 

Have not tried, but definitely want to at some point. Did DMT once in college, but really had no idea what I was getting into at the time. My hippie, drug dealer roommate offered it to me one day and I figured sure, why not. Was very much blown away by the visuals but did not have some blast off experience that guys like Joe Rogan talk about.

In the past year, I tried shrooms for the first time and went in with some things I actually wanted to dissect. I had thought on it for awhile and prepped myself accordingly, so it turned out to be a great experience. Went down the Westworld wormhole with my buddy and now can generally understand why people think we are living in a simulation. In that state, you really realize how complex/complicated/connected everything is.

Like stated above, if you are in a good place, I think it is something everybody should experience. Now I am pretty interested in experimenting with micro-dosing.

 

Ayahuasca is bullshit. It’s much better to smoke the pure crystal dmt. All of the extreme profound hallucinatory experiences are found via smoking, eating ayahuasca is weaker and basically like shrooms with more side effects. It’s only popular due to stupid hippies.
