How does one find a legitimate ayahuasca experience in South America without being murdered or robbed?

If any of you have knowledge about this, I have a few months before my pregnant wife reaches her Frieza-style final form and I want to take a little personal trip. If that trip can also involve a legitimate brain reset in the jungle, I think I want to include that, but I don’t want to get scopolamine’d and flayed in the process.

I like DMT carts.

3 hits and blast off.

Skip the whole puking part.

Ya, 5-meo etc as well, I get that, but I’m at an age where I would prefer to have a legitimate guide and reintegration process. Not to mention it’s illegal where I am and I don’t necessarily want to experience ego death in my office slumped over in my ergonomic chair, lol.

Pros use the couch

Autists always ruining my humor.

Good question. I know a few people out there must have some info. I remember talking to a bitcoiner a couple years ago who was expert in this, alas I can't recall his handle.

I’d say Peru is probably the place to go. Ten years ago we spent a good amount of time around Pucallpa and Iquitos traveling and learning from local teachers. A lot has changed since then– the gringo resorts have popped up everywhere, so it really depends on how much you value ā€˜comfort’ over authenticity. Best is word of mouth and you probably won’t find a genuine curandero online. Doesn’t make either experience better or worse, just different and ultimately depends on your goals, willingness to fork over a load of cash, working knowledge of Spanish, etc.

Also if you’re not looking for a multi week trek down the Amazon in a peke-peke, Costa Rica is worth considering also. Very accessible there, though of course leans toward the ā€˜resort’ style experiences geared towards gringos.

Rolling those fucking dice with your pregnant wife in limbo is a bad trip waiting to happen. Grab some shrooms and go camping an hour away from home with a friend that stays sober and get your reset without risking your wife needing a husband reset šŸ™

This is wise.

Shrooms are a good option too, but IMO nothing wrong with a full reset ahead of a major life turning point. Ayahuasca itself is incredibly safe pharmacologically and has been used indigenously for literally hundreds of years. While similar in some respects, the DMT and psilocybin experiences ultimately cannot be compared, and nothing comes close to the complete breakdown of ego and physical self that DMT can evoke in a full session.

Compromise?: Find the local shaman an hour from home šŸ˜‚

And good luck! I love a rest just to be clearšŸŽ‰

Or vape it from home.

There are retreats around nostr:npub14f26g7dddy6dpltc70da3pg4e5w2p4apzzqjuugnsr2ema6e3y6s2xv7lu in Uvita, Costa Rica. Wonderful place to visit.
