The one time SWIM did ayahuasca the shaman insisted we all snuff tobacco before and after the ritual. SWIM is convinced the tobacco made SWIM much much much much sicker then just the ayahuasca. SWIM could not imagine having to snuff that stuff day in and day out to become a shaman. No wonder they drop dead from "astral demons".
That´s one fascinating story. Don´t tell my You fly to S. America just to vomit and/or shit by drinking poor campesino´s folk medicine. Wasn´t it that smoking tobacco was like first cigarette smoking? Amazing post indeed. Write more details, definitely!
No SWIM happened to know some people who were hosting a shaman from south america to do rituals in the "western world". So SWIM went to check it out. Interesting experience but SWIM prefers pharmahuasca for mental exploration. SWIM sees value in ayahuasca but more for physical or psychological healing. However SWIM thinks mixing in the tobacco is a terrible idea. SWIM is highly sensitive to injested tobacco(smoking it in small amounts SWIM can tolerate but doesn't really like). When SWIM chewed tobacco once SWIM expereinced the same kind of vomitting and pain as on that trip.
