I don't think that there is much "deadly" plants in the amazon (compared to non-deadly), a same person can spend a life testing different plants without dying, those are also mathematical probabilities
Peace.
Just my opinion, it is maybe spirits who told tham that, I'm just curious, why they never tell anything to me unless I go to see them
Peace!
i don't think it works that way. altered consciousness seems to be an essential element of spiritual communication, and the way i see it this serves a purpose in a way..we couldn't be that way all the time, otherwise we'd constantly be tripping and not be able to function on the physical plane.
maybe they contacted him because he never goes to see them due to downing on entheogens so much
also remember ayahuasca is a combination of two different plants, which lowers the odds significantly again in stumbling upon the combination by chance. i never said ayahuasca is superior to mushrooms either, but mushrooms for example have a very distinctive appearance and would be much more likely to be found and tested than two plants which look like thousands of other plants. those little golden wizard shaped caps are just begging to be eaten. but then again, you could say the same for an intricate dna spiral vine. but using it to make another chemical digestible through breaking down an enzyme in the body which normally would not let it in (and it tastes horrible they certainly wouldn't be drinking it for good taste to begin with).. i think thats pretty advanced and maybe we should take a step back and listen to what the amazonians have to say about their history before lumping it into the folklore category. i've noticed lots of people always seem to assume that these cultures are just telling their history in a mythical way because its their "primitive minds" trying to make sense of the world around them, but we're dealing with a complex mind medicine here and they've been making use of it for a lot longer than we have, and i assume know a lot more about its history
