So at no point did I feel as if this was real. I always thought I was having a hallucination.
It was very scary. It was very scary. And I was there for hours. And I remember looking around the room and being horrified by what I was seeing. The people in the room, the ones who gave me a bad vibe when I was sober, were monstrous on ayahuasca. There's something about people's, they give you a certain kind of feeling. It's not a big deal when you're sober.

When you're on psychedelics, vibes are important. And on ayahuasca, some people were monsters. It was as if they were monsters. And I didn't want to be anywhere near them or around them. And I would have to like turn away from them. At the time, in the deepest part of the trip, I remember thinking, I'm losing my mind and I'm incurring brain damage, like what must be brain damage.

and asking myself, why did I do this? Like, why did I do something that could really transform my mind, which is a good mind. It's served me well up until this point, so why would I play with such an important tool in my toolbox?

You know, it's hard to describe. I don't think it was awful. It was terrifying, but then when I was done, I felt very good. Immediately after, like as the hallucinogen was wearing off, as it was coming off of the high, I had this moment where I felt that my brain was finally on again. But it was on in a different way. It was creative in a way that it never is.

I mean, it is, but not in a way I had ever experienced before. I was able to make all these rapid-fire connections that I had never seen. I think that's why people are referring to when they say that ayahuasca is like 10 years of therapy in a day. I think what it literally is doing to your brain is creating an environment for new pathways to form neurologically. And

For some people, that can feel like therapy because your ego is decreased, if not eliminated. And so you can come to conclusions that otherwise you might be too afraid to reach. You can see things that would scare you and make you feel bad about yourself. And you can see them more clearly and come to terms with them under the influence of the drug.

I think that's why people feel so connected to it or people feel so driven to seek it despite the fact that it can be horrible. Because of this afterglow aspect of it, even when it is a bad trip, it can be useful.
