Here is my take on ayahuasca which gets more and more fashionable these days.
When I grew up in a small traditional German town with pretty closed minded parents, I thought all drugs are bad for you. I didn't take any drugs really except alcohol and coffee (probably the only bad drugs are the ones that are legal, ironically). I never smoked weed as I didn't have friends who smoked. And well, I was pretty much autistic and too sick anyway. So I never took drugs until in my thirties. I heard about ayahuasca and this started my learning journey that drugs like mushrooms, marihuana, LSD, MDMA are actually not evil. Quite the opposite. It should tell you something if the government says something is illegal - it's usually really really good for you. So I embarked on a journey to heal spiritually, with the help of these ancient plant medicines. I think I started out with ayahuasca, the master plant. My first three ceremonies were rather uneventful which just shows how blocked my pineal gland must have still been. But it was a start, and I had some intense energy shifts in my third session although no visuals. I did more ceremonies over time, and had a massive breakthrough at my sixth session. It was very scary for me at that time but it was so good at the same time. Some of my last sessions had been immensely beautiful, and I will continue this journey as much as I can. I also tried mushrooms since then. They are actually using high dose psilocybin (the active component of magic mushrooms) to treat depression. I didn't take a real high dose yet but I would love to do so (under supervision). I had two great trips and I always see ancient patterns moving on my skin which is my favorite part, and I had one intense trip with lots of crying but felt amazing for weeks after. I also tried microdosing which was incredibly helpful for my depression at that time. I also did a ceremony of San Pedro which was more gentle than ayahuasca but nevertheless beautiful. And last but not least, just a couple of weeks ago I smoked weed for the first time :D Haha. I had taken edibles some years ago and hadn't been too thrilled with it (paranoia) but smoking was ok kinda. I just got really really hypothermic and I didn't like that my mind got really slow and my memory was impaired. Not my drug of choice, but I know that it's a very powerful plant for fighting cancer. I tried CBD oil (THC free) and it did make me more cheerful too. So this post is not to say, just go out and take drugs. I believe these plant medicines should be treated with respect and taken only in proper environment and not only for recreational use. Finding a good shaman is helpful. I heard how smoking weed can be actually causing de-realisation or the weed can be contaminated with heavy metals itself. I think these plant medicines can help you open up and see reality as it is, make you more intuitive, and sometimes they can play a big part in your healing journey, especially for emotional trauma.
