The origins of ayahuasca likely date back thousands of years, when indigenous tribes in the Amazon used it for healing, spiritual and religious rituals, and to connect with their ancestors and the universe. It is composed of the *Banisteriopsis caapi* plant and other plants, such as chacruna, which contain dimethyltryptamine (DMT).<\/p><p>These plants are harvested, brewed and served by indigenous shamans or healers during ceremonies in which participants vomit and may experience visions that can help them with their personal development or in finding answers to life's questions. The use of ayahuasca has spread to other parts of the world over recent decades and is now seen as a potential tool in the treatment of anxiety, depression and addiction.<\/p><p>The very first ayahuasca traditions dictated that only the shaman drank ayahuasca and sang songs for the people seeking healing. Later, through the influence of Western clientele, the practice changed to a ceremony in which everyone drinks ayahuasca.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6536ab6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6536ab6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-082155b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"082155b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" id=\"wat-zijn-de-werkzame-stoffen\">What are the active ingredients?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed6a0e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed6a0e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During traditional ayahuasca ceremonies, not all ayahuasca brews contain DMT. In some variants, these plants are omitted or replaced with other plants.<\/p><p>However, the reason DMT is now considered important is because it is the most active substance in ayahuasca and is responsible for the most intense hallucinations. Furthermore, it is regarded as the primary component for the brew's healing effects, as it can open the mind to new insights and perspectives.<\/p><p>However, traditional users of ayahuasca believe precisely that it is the combination of all the plants present that determines the potency of the brew, or that the banisteriopsis caapi plant alone may bear the name ayahuasca. They regard ayahuasca as a sacred medicine that can heal and liberate body, mind and soul, regardless of which exact plants are used.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebb304b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ebb304b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a4cdbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a4cdbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DMT-psilocine-serotonine-1024x198.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-43943\" alt=\"Similarities between DMT, psilocin and serotonin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DMT-psilocine-serotonine-1024x198.png 1024w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DMT-psilocine-serotonine-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DMT-psilocine-serotonine-768x148.png 768w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DMT-psilocine-serotonine-18x3.png 18w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DMT-psilocine-serotonine.png 1052w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1c8225 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b1c8225\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6e5a61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e6e5a61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" id=\"dmt-in-ayahuasca\">DMT in ayahuasca<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c4585e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c4585e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>DMT is a tryptamine and neurotransmitter that acts on the serotonin receptors in the brain. As can be seen in the image above, DMT has a molecular structure that is similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin and the psychedelic psilocin (from truffles and magic mushrooms).<\/p><p>When DMT is smoked, it causes a strong and short trip that lasts about 10-30 minutes. Orally, DMT is not active, but when taken as an ayahuasca mixture, it is. In the form of ayahuasca, the trip lasts an average of 6 hours. It can have various visual and audiovisual effects, such as patterns and geometric shapes, changes in the colour and intensity of light, and unreal experiences. Some people also experience a sense of connection with the universe and spiritual or mystical sensations.<\/p><p>In the brain, DMT acts on serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor. This can lead to changes in perception, mood, consciousness and emotions. This activity in the brain resembles the activity during dreaming, which may explain the hallucinogenic effects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81ad0a3 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"81ad0a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/en\/dmt-therapy\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">DMT therapy info<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8e3b64 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b8e3b64\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-085ab8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"085ab8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" id=\"banisteriopsis-caapi-als-maoi\">Banisteriopsis caapi as an MAOI<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26aac4e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"26aac4e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d92d99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0d92d99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28d9515 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28d9515\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>DMT is a relatively unstable substance that is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract by the MAO enzyme. Banisteriopsis caapi contains MAO inhibitors that block this enzyme and ensure that DMT remains active when ingested. This allows DMT to cross the blood-brain barrier and become psychoactive. The blocking of the MAO enzyme by banisteriopsis caapi also ensures that neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, remain active for longer, which contributes to the psychoactive effect of ayahuasca. It is therefore the combination of DMT and MAO inhibitors from banisteriopsis caapi that makes the modern experience of ayahuasca possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95557a7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"95557a7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd197e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"bd197e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=cRsJB0taAak&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2c2ce0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f2c2ce0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51c4630 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"51c4630\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" id=\"de-ayahuasca-ceremonie\">The ayahuasca ceremony<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6597056 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6597056\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The ayahuasca ceremony is led by a shaman, who is responsible for preparing the ayahuasca and guiding the participants during their journey. The shaman sings songs called icaros. These are traditional songs used to provide spiritual healing and protection, and to guide the journey.

This was because the shaman was considered to be filled with spiritual power and knowledge and was deemed to be the only one capable of interpreting the visions and messages of the plant spirits. . <br \/><br \/>However, in some traditions, experienced participants were also allowed to take a small amount of ayahuasca to help them connect with the plant spirits. However, this was only permitted after they had undergone thorough preparation, such as following a strict diet and abstaining from sexual activity. <br \/><br \/>Nowadays there are many variations on these traditions and there are ayahuasca ceremonies in which both the shaman and the participants take ayahuasca. These modern practices are not true to the ancient traditions and it is important to prepare well for such ceremonies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4d0baf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f4d0baf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c9e322 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8c9e322\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" id=\"het-ayahuasca-dieet\">The ayahuasca diet<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1389347 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1389347\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Due to the presence of MAO inhibitors, a special diet is necessary to avoid complications. Tyramine is a substance commonly found in foods such as cheese, red wine, beer and smoked meats. When tyramine is ingested together with MAO inhibitors, as in ayahuasca, this can lead to elevated blood pressure and potentially life-threatening reactions. To avoid this risk, it is recommended to follow a low-tyramine diet in the days prior to drinking ayahuasca. This diet limits the intake of tyramine-rich foods and preparations that naturally contain tyramine, such as fermented foods. By following this diet, the risk of a potentially dangerous interaction between ayahuasca and tyramine can be reduced, thereby increasing the chance of a safe and beneficial experience with ayahuasca.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-294f037 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"294f037\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/en\/qa\/opletten-met-tyramine-en-psychedelica\/#het-tyramine-beperkt-dieet:~:text=Het%20tyramine%2Dbeperkt%20dieet,-Een\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Tyramine diet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c5f0b1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7c5f0b1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-800e763 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"800e763\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" id=\"ayahuasca-in-nederland\">Ayahuasca in the Netherlands<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b73b18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b73b18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Because DMT on its own is illegal in the Netherlands, the use of ayahuasca containing DMT is also illegal.

When adding many MAO inhibitors, the trip also lasts a few hours longer. The addition of Banisteriopsis caapi is therefore not necessary. All in all, the psilocybin ceremony is safer and if psilocybin-containing truffles are used, it is even legal.<\/p><p>If a mild MAOI is still used, psiloflora could be the solution. Psiloflora is the combination of magic truffles and passion flower (passiflora incarnata). With this combination of passion flower and truffles, there are fewer side effects, vomiting hardly occurs, it gives a calmer trip and there are fewer negative interactions with food, medicines and supplements.

The main active ingredient in ayahuasca is dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a hallucinogenic compound. When ayahuasca is consumed, the DMT interacts with neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to altered states of consciousness, vivid visions and intense emotional experiences.<br \/><br \/>The MAO inhibitors present in the ayahuasca brew enable the DMT to reach the brain without being broken down by the body's enzymes that normally degrade it. This prolonged exposure to DMT can cause profound changes in thought patterns, mood, and behaviour, which can lead to self-reflection, insights, and personal growth.<br \/><br \/>It is also believed that ayahuasca interacts with the digestive system, which can cause physical purging such as vomiting and diarrhoea. This is seen as a necessary part of the process, helping to release negative emotions, toxins and other substances that may block personal growth and inner healing.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2312\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2312\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Is ayahuasca legal in the Netherlands?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2312\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2312\"><p>Ayahuasca is considered illegal in the Netherlands.

It is important to emphasise that ayahuasca, when correctly prepared and used under the guidance of experienced and trained shamans, is generally considered safe. However, if it is prepared in an improper way, or if it is abused by ignorant or inexperienced users, it can cause severe physical and psychological harm and even be fatal.<br \/><br \/>In some cases, deaths were due to the interaction between ayahuasca and other medicines or the user's health problems. In other cases, death was the result of a lack of supervision, incorrect dosage, or incorrect preparation of the ayahuasca. It is therefore essential to consider the use of ayahuasca only under strict and safe conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2316\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2316\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Is ayahuasca considered a drug?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2316\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2316\"><p>Under Dutch law, ayahuasca is a hard drug.

Sometimes other plants containing DMT are also used, such as Acacia confusa, Acacia obtusifolia or Mimosa hostilis (Jurema).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2318\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2318\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can ayahuasca cause psychosis?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2318\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2318\"><p>Yes, cases are known in which ayahuasca can lead to psychosis.
