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.

It’s similar to the LSD craze. The main benefit is probably ego dissolution and feeling of oneness w/ universe. It’s possible to generate this through walking & meditation. I know, cause I’ve done it.

You don’t need to take the drugs. As my mother said, “Yes, it sounds like you were in a dissociative state, Tom.” Probably true, or close enough to being true. I can see why people preach about ayahuasca or LSD, bc it is a great experience. But it’s a shortcut, possibly not gud.
