I had never done any kind of drugs in my life or psychedelics, but took Ayahuasca once with friends who were in the personal wellness space circa 2010.<p>My experience:<p>- tastes like mud<p>- it’s recommended to vomit after taking it, but I felt too self-conscious because we were all together in the same room<p>- the first part of the trip was wonderful as I spent 2hours in bliss seeing colored lights, I still remember this feeling fondly<p>- the next 2 hours were bad as I saw myself as a kid alone crying in recess, but it did help me see past trauma I hadn’t resolved yet<p>- for the following month, I felt 10x more present in my body and alive.<p>- I got more confrontational which almost got me into fights, but also got me laid<p>- after 1 month my state went back to normal, this made me sad since I loved my other, 10x more confident self<p>- it seems the reason it lasted so long is because I couldn’t vomit in the first place, so the “medecine” stayed with me longer<p>Overall awesome experience and would love to do it again.
