My First Ayahuasca Trip

[Parsons]

Yeah... It's too bad I can't partake in ayahuasca due to (ironically) an overdose of DMT/syrian rue, which is basically the sane thing as ayahuasca. I have a feeling it could help me with some of the issues I've been experiencing lately involving self worth/anxiety.

Is there a reason why the od prevents you from partaking in ayahuasca?

I, personally, would only do this as part of a purposeful & meaningful ritual/ceremony or therapy session with a 'guide' (shaman, therapist, etc.,) so there's structure and safety :p

Sorry, I should have specified why.

I took such a large enough dose that I went through the mental experience of death. I was at home by myself so I panicked and called 911. I kept loudly claiming I was dying, so they offered to call my wife (who was at work). She came down to the hospital and of course I was fine in the end.

As a result, my wife insisted I never take any kind of drug like that ever again. I even tried to negotiate with her suggesting I would do it again in a much safer environment (supervised by a shaman or therapist), but she wouldn't budge.

I'm hoping to change her mind about it eventually but she's pretty stubborn about that kind of thing. Maybe they will release case studies about therapeutic use of ayahuasca and she will change her mind (she's almost done with her masters in psychology/therapy).
