Ayahuasca poses the greatest spiritual danger among psychedelics, especially for wealthy people being targeted by commercial facilitators. The speaker, trained in shamanism, argues it should only be taken in traditional jungle settings with indigenous practitioners, not in modern retreat centers, because the environment is essential to safety.
Ayahuasca is probably the most dangerous psychedelic in terms of spiritual risk. So it's the last one I recommend you do. And if you're listening to the show and you have paid off your house or you have substantial assets, there are people targeting wealthy and successful people with ayahuasca. So it's the one that has the most risk, not of medical issues, although that happens. It's risk from a shamanic perspective. And I've done shamanic training and have a lot of experience in altered states work. And I just worry about that getting out of the jungle. I feel like you should go to the jungle, it shouldn't come to you.
