Ayahausca only lasts for 10 min
DMT is produced by the body
Perhaps you would like to issue an Apology to which I will gladly accept . this is from a site that can tell you how to make Ayahausca I wont post everything just a reference to my ignorant disinformative post
WARNING!
Toé is also known as 'tree datura' and is a member of the Datura complex of the botanical family Solanaceae.
It is potentially very dangerous and excessive use can cause permanent mental impairment. Deaths are not uncommon from miscalculated dosages.
Curanderos in the Peruvian Amazon use toé very cautiously if at all as an Ayahuasca admixture
If it was me that was wrong PLEASE excuse my rubbish and disinformation but Maybe ..............your eyes are not open?? Or you would have looked before you lept and seen this
Shaman Bared From Using
Ayahuasca Following Woman's Death

MANITOWANING, Ont. - An
Ecuadorean shaman who brewed a potion that killed an elderly native woman on a Manitoulin Island reserve received a one-year conditional sentence yesterday in a ruling that gives approval to native healing ceremonies.
"The court is satisfied that this was a sacred ceremony conducted by traditional healers," said Gerald Michel, a judge with the Ontario Court of Justice. "This case is so very difficult because we have to try and mesh the drastic consequences of a sacred spiritual ceremony by temporal means."
Juan Uyunkar, 49, was ordered to perform 150 hours of community service, to reside in the area of Wikwemikong, observe a curfew and not leave Ontario for one year. He may continue to perform healing ceremonies, but is forbidden to continue using the hallucinogen ayahuasca, also known as harmaline, a banned substance in Canada.
His son Edgar, 22, was ordered to return to Ecuador within 14 days.
"I don't feel good about it, because my father must stay here," said Edgar, with the assistance of a Spanish interpreter, after the ruling. "He is not only my father, he is my friend. I will miss him."
The two men were arrested following the death of Jane Maiangowi, 71, a beloved elder in the native community of Wikwemikong (population 3,000) on the eastern shore of Manitoulin Island overlooking Georgian Bay.
The Uyunkars pleaded guilty to one charge each of administering a noxious substance and trafficking in an illegal drug.
A diabetic, Ms. Maiangowi went off her medication as instructed by the Uyunkars before and during a three-day ceremony in October, 2001. She, along with about 50 other participants, drank copious amounts of a mixture of ayahuasca and nicotine, designed to induce vomiting. Some participants agreed to receive enemas.
According to the agreed statement of facts, the ceremonies were not medically supervised.
On the third night of the ceremony in October, 2001, Mrs. Maiangowi died of nicotine poisoning.
When asked to address the court before sentencing, Juan Uyunkar said he came to Canada at the invitation of the local health authority in the fall of 2001 to heal members of the community. "I came to give you all my work and my sacrifice," he said, turning to face the spectators in the makeshift courtroom set up at the band office. "As a member of a native people, I am very pained. I feel a lot of grief for sister Jane. I have a lot of pain in my heart."
He declined to comment further outside court, but hugged the judge before he left.
He and his son Edgar are members of the Shuar Nation in Ecuador, where ayahuasca is legal and used in religious and medicinal ceremonies.
They have not been permitted to return to their country since their arrest. Although it has been reported that Juan has 12 children, he in fact has 16, and 12 still live at home, according to Edgar. The family has slipped into poverty in Juan's absence and one of his grandchildren has died.
Edgar has a child he has not seen since infancy. Judge Michel considered their 18 months on bail as time already served.
Deborah Trudeau, one of Mrs. Maiangowi's granddaughters, said the sentence was not long enough. "It's too little. They should have had five years," she said.
Mrs. Maiangowi's husband, Victor, has been unable to continue living alone since her death. He has left Wikwemikong to live with a daughter in North Bay, Ont., and is in failing health.
"We were inseparable," he wrote in a victim-impact statement. "I not only lost a wife, but I also lost my dearest friend and companion."
Joseph Chapman, the federal Crown in the case, said the verdict sends an important message.
"One of the most important things to come out is the courts have legitimized traditional medicine. However, the other important thing that has come out is that there are limits on traditional medicine and the limit is that you cannot use prohibited drugs in the traditional medicine process."
