Ayahuasca is presented as an authentic experience opposed to the deadness of Western psych meds. However, acculturation is important. These drugs do alter consciousness, but I doubt here’s much substantial change unless you grow up within an ayahuasca-taking culture.

Replying to @tomxhart
My spouse's mother did it, in a place in Peru ran by a "western doctor" - they spend a week fasting and taking purgatives in complete isolation, plus there's high altitude your body isn't used to. I think the point is to shock both body & mind as much as possible before the trip.
