I have taken Ayahuasca plenty of times and it has been an incredible experience for me thus far. Like everything in this universe there can bad sides to it, but with the correct people and when correctly brewed it can be extremely enlightening. What in life doesn't have a negative side to it? And when people say someone has been transformed for the worse after taking Ayahuasca what does that really mean? Worse for who? What's really good and bad? Stuff determined to be legal by a bunch of conservative males? I guess tobacco and alcohol are fine..

I have heard stories of seeing a mother kind of thing? What's that all about - have you experienced this?

  Aya can have a very feminine, mothering aspect to it at times, and in many traditions, it's referred to as "la madre", or even just "she". It's not something I've experienced often, but it's lovely when it does show up. As for what it's about, there's no real universal answer to that. Everyone's every experience of aya is different; it's what happens when that individual drinks that dose on that night. There are commonalties and themes you start to see and be able to work with, given enough experience, but there are very few absolutes.

  No. Everyone has their own experience. Some feel like they completely disappear from this planet. But the job of the shaman (and the group) is to not let you go to far into your mind and yet allow you to experience the medicine fully.

  I've taken it three times, and all I can say is these experiences were FAR MORE VAST than anything I could imagine. It exists in a category entirely of its own and hit me completely, all the way to the cellular level. And even in that unfathomably wide and galactic space, there's a strange humor to it that you have to experience to understand...
