Ok, I want to briefly clear something up. Ayahuasca is not DMT, though as a brew it contains DMT. They are very different experiences. It is said among ayahuasqueros and curanderos of the Amazon that the DMT containing plant, oftentimes chacruna, is the 'light', whereas the Banisteriopsis caapi vine, also known as ayahuasca, is the 'teacher' plant, often thought of as a 'grandmother' spirit. SO, smoking straight DMT is an entirely different scenario than taking Ayahuasca. DMT all by itself is rather like being thrust into the spirit world, all by yourself, though you are not alone and typically you will encounter many entities. Ayahuasca on the other hand, is akin to taking an extended DMT journey with a very powerful guide, and teacher. With DMT, you're on your own. Either way, go with great reverence, if you do... It is not recreational, nor to be taken lightly.
