I have yet to try ayahuasca. I'd like to some day. I'm still a fairly novice psychonaut. I tend to err on the side of caution, I'd rather have a lesser experience that's not as intense, over jumping in head first with a large dose.

Mind you, I'm also addressing the reader in general :) Everyone reacts different. I, for one, am very sensitive to drugs in general (probably related to my autism). My Ayahuasca came with top notch documentation (bought it from a smartshop), but otherwise a website like Erowid has likely good lists of which foods to abstain from and which foods to avoid. A sure way to achieve, is fasting. An alternative could be very light food intake. Take note of any medications you use as they likely interact (badly) with a MAOI. Once you got yourself informed and took the precautions there is nothing to worry about. Personally, I had no 24/7 sitter though I did inform my mother (whom I lived with), I was more than happy to be lonely, and I had the best visual experience ever (which were almost always rather disappointing on mushrooms). I also felt very lethargic though, a bit akin to Fly Agaric or feeling very stoned. The ability to lie down on bed (with music) was pleasant.

  I'm lucky in that sense, as I take no regular medications. I seem to be quite sensitive to psychedelics myself, 100µg of LSD was much more intense for me than I'd learned it has been for many others. I've also not read about too large a number of significant time-related hallucinations in reading others' experiences (other than general time dilation, which my experiences went far past).

  Where in the world is it legal OTC? "Smartshop" implies the netherlands, but AFAIK it is not legal there.

    I bought my Ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, truffles, fly agaric, and a whole plethora of other smartdrugs from a Dutch smartshop. All of these were legal back in the days (in The Netherlands indeed, but in ~2004-2007). Not sure about the legal status nowadays, apart from magic mushrooms being made illegal by Ab Klink. Growkits and truffles were also still sold in 2007.
