Jeffrey Jaime describes using smokable ayahuasca three to four times weekly in microdose form. It's more potent and intense than drinking it, with shorter duration, and requires an experienced practitioner leading a ceremony. He frames it as connecting with collective consciousness rather than encountering other beings.
We talked about the smokable version of ayahuasca. Yeah. And I decided I'm going to do this three or four times a week. It's like a micro dose of ayahuasca, more potent, though. Okay. So it's not as long in duration, but it's more intense. And I don't recommend people take it unless it's in a ceremonial setting. I have a lot of practice in this, so that's why I was able to do it myself. And I've guided a lot of people, and I've worked under shamans that are just phenomenal people in general, and they do really good work. If these tools are to be used, they need to be used properly. It needs to be held with a reverence and an honor for what we're doing. And I don't think it's to see other gods and beings. People. I think they misunderstand and they go for the fun and they misinterpret what's going on. I think it's a very interpersonal way that we can connect with the collective consciousness and see what's not there. For our typical 5 cents.
