How long was your trip? Did you take the kind that makes you vomit? What kind of setting did you take it in? Were you the only one tripping? Would you do it again or it's more of a one-time thing? Fascinating experience, i'm super curious about ayahuasca. So glad you're sharing it here, we've had many discussions on this subject on Hubski in the past :) Interesting reads if anyone wants to catch up on the ayahuasca talk:
5 hours. When it was over, there was no hangover. But I was in complete astonishment. Well I think there is always the chance of vomiting. I didn't vomit, although I did feel my stomach turn a few times. But I took the advice of a friend and I didn't eat anything the whole day before consuming ayahausca in the late evening. So that may have helped. I think if I ate anything that day, it would have come up! I took it with a large group. The entire group had intensive experience with the substance. They made me feel comfortable, and I attribute their presence, in particular their music, as one of the reasons it was such a loving experience. I think I'll keep doing it regularly. Everyone I've talked to says the experience just becomes more intense and you go through "levels" or "grades" as you progress within your own mind. Definitely felt like there was so much more "to do". Felt endless.How long was your trip?

That seems like a pretty big risk imo. They'd have to be really close friends otherwise I personally might start bugging out. But if it all goes just right, I imagine sharing that experience with people who get it must've been amazing. How did their experiences compare to yours? Did anyone have a bad trip? I've been unable to find anyone who had their trip go south on DMT-based stuff. Also, 5 hours is insane, a regular hit of 5meo DMT is like 15 minutes of a trip I believe.I took it with a large group.

DMT is a significantly different experience to compare though. Part of the appeal is just how quickly it takes you so deep.
I've been reduced to consciousness floating in the aether without time or space from an eight hour mushroom trip. It can be a long distortion of reality. I don't generally go all that deep on acid but I've seen people leave the world for a good eight hours.
Ya, I don't doubt that mushrooms can take you out of this world too.
Ya it was definitely a positive for me. But I think taking three big cups in the forest by myself would be super interesting. Part of me wants to go solo to see what happens. Most people around me seemed like they were glowing and very happy after the experience. Most of the people I spoke with were just very deep in their own mind just acknowledging that it had been profound. It takes a while to process the information experienced. Well, I've read about bad trips. There is that famous National Geographic post "Hell and Back". But the strange thing is that even people who have "bad trips" end up wanting to go back in.But if it all goes just right, I imagine sharing that experience with people who get it must've been amazing.

Where you in the States when you took it? I know that there are plenty of people who go to South America to perform the ritual. I had also heard that there are shamans that go around the States providing the experience to those who can't make the trip.
