Haha I suppose they're both synonymous! Technically, I guess. I do have a medicine man liscense and am allowed to use any plant as a religious mean in any place as long as I am conducting a bundle ceremony. Not allowed to give unless I establish a chapter with two others. There's more perks to it than just marijuana and psychedelic plants though. I'm in me mid 20's. Done a lot for my age honestly. The ceremonies I've seen people as young as 16 participate. And as old at 65. Probably older with some of them farts. Mostly middle aged people go to them.
Haha well then you're doing a good deed. Always remember though that "a good teacher shows someone where to look but not what to see.". A friend of mine went haywire with the shaman thing after getting his liscense and him and I are on two completely different pages. Can't participate together to be honest he.. Man I'm not going into that. But things like ayahuasca are a very personal experience. Giving that to people is amazing, it's so great watching someone cry for 5 hours on and off because of how much they are learning about themselves that theyd never have gotten close to without the plants.
Everyone is different with it though. I actually have some ayahuasca coming in tomorrow that I can't wait to drink. It has been a few months and so many things have happened in the past few months that I've had to battle and destroy as a person. Now it's time for the cherry on top. I've had only few legitimate ayahuasca experiences being separated by ones that I didn't want to go too far yet during, and only wished to give it to others. For instance, the first time I did it with my girlfriend I just gave her the majority because I didn't have much left. She sat and was silent looking around the room for an hour and a half. We were all trying to get her attention, "kayla! Kayla can you hear us? You okay?" then after the hour and a half she just starting pouring tears from her eyes explaining to us why she loves us so much and how she finally understood how people say that you have to love yourself before others. I just thought, "yes! It worked!" she was the first one I had given it to that hadn't already tried. We ended up making more the next day and drinking a LOT! Now that was quite an experience doing it with her, by the way, it's quite the aphrodisiac.. Haha
Ayahuasca I'll do any time as long as I don't have work in the same day. Say you go REALLY far.. I'd say you need about 8-9 full hours but generally it lasts 5-6 at least with the brew that I make. Plus you can totally talk to anyone once the waves get a little less intense. You know when that is. But even in between waves you can usually talk of you want to. The experience is just so.. Well both, dissolving and amazing. That you tend to just float in it. Then at one point you start gaining your wakefulness back. Then again it kinda does what it wants to you.
Peyote, now that's a good 12-14 hours. We either drink tea, eat tiny little buttons or eat the capsules that have a button ground up into it. It takes about 25 of these buttons. Needless to say, we take it around 8pm usually and all drive back tripping still around noon. Some people leave sooner. Id say take off that night then the whole next day just so you can relax.
Both I'd say do that as a precaution.
But they are both very social psychedelics. Talking on peyote is easier than being sober. In fact I'd say it takes anxiety away. Nothing like xanax but in regards to anxiety riddence, not that far off.
Ayahuasca is just so much and so powerfully healing that once it's almost over with, you feel anew and ready to get on with your life In the most positive way.
Much love
