Ayahuasca (ayawaska pronounced [ajaˈwaska] in the Quechua language) is any of various psychoactive infusions or decoctions prepared from the Banisteriopsis spp. vine, usually mixed with the leaves of dimethyltryptamine-containing species of shrubs from the Psychotria genus. It was first described academically in the early 1950s by Harvard ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes who found it employed for divinatory and healing purposes by Amerindians of Amazonian Colombia.

  • Ayahuasca is an extremely potent and ancient psychedelic brew from South America. Although the brew may vary, it always contains DMT (dimethyltryptamine) or 5-MeO-DMT and an MAOi to make the DMT orally active. When the DMT and MAOi are not from natural sources it is referred to colloquially as pharmahuasca.
  • The legendary "vine of the gods" from the Amazon River basin, Ayahuasca, also know as Yagé or "cat mint," is an essential ingredient in the hallucinogenic beverages that are the center of shamanic rituals of local tribes. In the 1940's, it was added to Coca Cola® after the United States Congress banned the importation of cocaine. Because ayahuasca gave neither the high energy "kick" or euphoria of cocaine, but instead caused twenty-four to forty-eight hours of intense stomach pain and vomiting, it was soon removed from grocery store shelves.
  • Ayahuasca wordt al duizenden jaren door sommige indianenstammen ritueel gebruikt in de Amazone-regenwouden van Zuid-Amerika. Wanneer het gebruik is aangevangen weet men niet; het gebruik is zeker honderden jaren oud, maar wordt beschreven als oeroud (volgens sommigen ten minste drieduizend jaar). Inmiddels is het traditionele gebruik in Zuid-Amerika verspreid van Ecuador in het westen en de Orinoco in het noorden tot aan Paraguay in het zuidoosten.
  • Die Harman-Alkaloide der Banisteriopsis caapi wirken als MAO-Hemmer, die den Abbau von DMT im Körper verhindern und damit die Wirkung überhaupt erst ermöglichen. MAO-Hemmer können gewöhnliche Nahrungsmittel, Medikamente oder Drogen giftig machen, weshalb bei ihrem Konsum strenge Diätvorschriften einzuhalten sind.

  • Die Harman-Alkaloide der Banisteriopsis caapi wirken als MAO-Hemmer, die den Abbau von DMT im Körper verhindern und damit die Wirkung überhaupt erst ermöglichen. MAO-Hemmer können gewöhnliche Nahrungsmittel, Medikamente oder Drogen giftig machen, weshalb bei ihrem Konsum strenge Diätvorschriften einzuhalten sind. Je nach Zubereitung können auch noch eine Vielzahl anderer Pflanzen in Ayahuasca enthalten sein, u.a. auch Justicia pectoralis (Cumarin), Ilex guayusa (Coffein und Theobromin), Nicotiana rustica (Nicotin) und sogar gefährliche Brugmansia- und Datura-Arten (Hyoscyamin und Scopolamin, Halluzinogene Nachtschattengewächse).

But even for its short time on the United States market, ayahuasca-enhanced cola had a lasting impact on the American psyche. Historians are convinced that ayahuasca hallucinations, experienced by millions of Americans, led to the adoption of the Federal income tax, the "beat" music scene, and, later, the return of the Panama Canal.

Inmiddels is het traditionele gebruik in Zuid-Amerika verspreid van Ecuador in het westen en de Orinoco in het noorden tot aan Paraguay in het zuidoosten. De thee wordt over het algemeen gemaakt uit een plant (de Psychotria viridis, die de psychoactieve stof dimethyltryptamine (DMT) bevat) en een liaan (de Banisteriopsis caapi, die de MAO-remmer Harmine/Harmaline bevat). De combinatie van deze twee stoffen zorgt voor een zeer sterk psychoactief brouwsel met een hevige bewustzijnsveranderende werking.
