Ayahuasca
What exactly is ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a mixture of different plants. The primary ingredient is the Banisteriopsis caapi vine. In most instances, a drink is made from it. Some people add tobacco or cannabis to the ayahuasca, but we never recommend it. Ayahuasca comes from the Amazon region, where it is a beverage used by shamans. They used it to reveal the mental/spiritual condition of their patients. Since ayahuasca is powerful stuff and can result in a variety of effects, it is important that you read all the information thoroughly before you begin.
