Ayahuasca is a psychdelic substance. sure, there is vomiting, but that isn't the main part of it just like drinking alcohol isn't centered around getting a hangover or destroying your brain cells
- ljm 11mo agoI misrepresented it, yes, but learning from my then-time friend, the purging aspect was a key aspect of it for them. More or less a way of getting ‘all that shit’ out of your system. That is obviously a perversion of the social act of taking ayahuasca in the context of a cult-like situation, when you also combine it with the ritual of deep and frequent cleansing. I think a good characterisation of it is Vera in Mr Robot, who basically does this and comes back as if he’s fully enlightened.
