That is what it's referring to. So ayahuasca evidently is so powerful, such a strong drug that you can one-shot yourself. You can take it once and then... lose the mind that you had previously entirely, or you can lose your ambition for whatever it is, whatever passion project that you pursued up until this point, you could decide to leave your life behind and go braid hair in Peru.

Yeah, I was seeing that discourse. I was seeing many people react to others around them having taken it and being alarmed by the extent of the changes they began to make in their life. So to me, it's strange because I was seeing a lot of evidence that this is possibly too dangerous of a thing to try. And I'm thinking, okay, then maybe it's worth doing.

So I'm going to try and just anonymize it, just a reasonable degree. But it was through a friend of a friend I found a connection to a ceremony. Now, you can find ceremonies online. There's these retreat centers that are primarily housed in Peru.

Yeah, it's legal in Peru. It's legal in, I think, a few other places under certain circumstances. So you can go and have like a 10-day retreat in Peru or a seven-day retreat. You purchase your ticket and you go there and go to the middle of the jungle, I presume, with a bunch of strangers. I found that concept to be very alarming.

I was always just afraid that I would end up in the hospital somehow. And then now I'm in a Peruvian hospital with no way to contact my family or limited ways of contacting my family. So that was kind of a nightmare scenario that I did not want to live in this life.

So I asked around if anybody had a connection and it just so happened that somebody brought it up without me bringing it up first at a dinner party. She and I were talking about autism. I was talking about how I think I'm a little bit on the spectrum and she said she's definitely on the spectrum and she is.

And she said that she recently did ayahuasca, went to a retreat, and it helped her connect with others, like normies, helped her connect with normies better. And I thought that was really interesting. And that opened up a new way of thinking about it for me as well.
