What is Ayahuasca? I've smoked DMT.

[Spencer]

I've smoked DMT in heavy doses. What is Ayahuasca and does it have similar effects? I only surmise that due to the fact that they are on the same thread and DMT is some seriously crazy shit that, SO FAR, only people who have done it could relate to in converse.

Peace.

A good comparison is;

Ayahuasca is to DMT
as
Mushrooms are to Salvia

If you've had experience you'll hopefully get what I'm saying.

Ayahuasca is extremely intense. Its main ingredients are DMT and an MAOI. The MAOI allows one to digest DMT wihtout breaking it down, in order for it to cross the blood-brain barrier. Without the MAOI, DMT does not enter the brain, and has no effects (or atleast not noticeble by most people). If you can imagine the setting you are in about 1 minute after the peak of DMT (so slightly less than the peak) panned out over 6 hours, you would have a good understanding of ayahuasca.

The MAOI also does have its own effects - it was originally made to be an anti-depressant, but has slight psychodelic effects as well.
