I'm writing an essay on this wonderful vine for a literary magazine, starting of with the Yage letters by Burroughs/Ginsberg. If you had an experience with it you want to share, please orgnote me. I'm trying to make the essay both informing and personal. the testimonies I use are anonymous.

This is the weirdest thread I've read in ages!

Because you don't know what I'm talking about? Or because you think it's rather strange to pose the question here?

I've been trying to nail something down for a week now. Pretty hard job, but the deadline is soon. So any extra inspiration/stories is welcome.

Appears to be a first level mild 'starter drug', right?

On par with cannabis?

TheVoid said:

Not exactly 'mild'. And it's referred to as a medicine, not a drug. There's pretty much information to find on the internet. Like this one, from National Geograpic.

Or just start at www.ayahuasca.com.

Or read my essay, if your Dutch is good enough

i saw a program on tv quite recently in which they performed a ceremony
i've been googling for the past half hour hoping hour to find it online but can't seem to

btw it doesn't seem appealing to me in the least judging by what i saw ;
uncontrolable vomiting

'Appealing' is not the right word either for it But although I was überskeptical at first (I'm a European atheist child, what do you expect?), this has overwhelmed me.

It made me stop smoking cold turkey, for instance. Previous attempts were ridiculous, after ayahuasca it's been like I've never smoked before.

^ that's great , interesting
