Try mushrooms a few times first. Maybe some lsd if you know the right characters that produce legit batches. IF you can handle that without losing all faith in the world move on to some ayahuasca. It's not cut out for your everyday dude .
I agree. Ayahuasca, at least according to trip reports I've read, seems like more of a rough experience. I don't even like the idea of most people imbibing in mushrooms because most people just "wanna get fucked up" and laugh their asses off. I know I should brush it off and to each their own, but people should respect and reverse psychedelics a little more.
I don't have much sympathy for people who use them in large groups and end up having an ultra bad trip that leaves a horrific, lasting impression. Serves them right. In a way "bad trips" can be some of the best. Last day of high school I had a bad trip including full blown ego loss and it changed my life drastically. Stopped being a douche bag and started caring more and contributing more to the lives of people I come across.... except on the internet, you fags can fuck yourselves.
(seriously though, I still respect psychedelics big time... plan your trips carefully, have a trip sitter, trip in a safe environment and set up activities and prepare some snacks and don't fight the trip... let it be, just like the Beatles song my niggas. Happy and safe tripping)
