Your article definitely raises a strong point in the cautions of going to an exotic land. I just came back from a similar voyage that you described. Fortunately, I was one of the lucky ones and had the time of my life.

It is very important to KNOW somebody who has first-hand experience with these substances. The plant is truly a medicine in my opinion. The goal of taking ayahuasca is not to experience the hallucinations (western concept), but to dig deep into whatever is blocking you, from living life the fullest.

I believe that our goal should be to work together and fight for the decriminalization of ayahuasca. We should all have the right to tapping into our own conscious. Safety should coexist with that notion.
