| Abstract: | Ayahuasca is a psychedelic Amazonian ceremonial decoction or 'liana of the soul' containing Banisteriopsis caapi vine having alkaloids that cause monoamine oxidase inhibition. Another typical component is Psychotria viridis which contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT). The exact nature of the admixture brew may vary from place to place. Ayahuasca has also moved from shamans to recreational usage. [excerpt] |
