Subreddit Rules

Be civil! We want to keep the vibes up here, so treat each other with respect. Heated language can be tolerated in a discussion, but harassment (repetitive patterns of unwanted criticism with the primary intention of causing upset instead of having a civil discussion) and severely vicious behavior are not! It is okay to disagree or even to disapprove, but don't be hateful about it! Also don't attack people who had difficult experiences with Ayahuasca or other psychedelics! Posts from users who had a bad trip will be moderated more strictly and comments must be in service to the original poster.
No Advertisement! Promoting products and retreat centers is not allowed here! However, discussions about retreat centers, trip reports and questions about which retreat might be the right one for you are still welcome! If you are a retreat owner and you want to promote your center, please go to r/AyaRetreats
Don't Proselytize! While we welcome discussions about different ideas and subjects on this subreddit as long as they are related to Ayahuasca and psychedelics, trying to push your ideas, religions, opinions, etc on others is not. This also includes trying to convince people that Ayahuasca and psychedelics are just evil and should be avoided at all cost, as well as trying to convince people that Ayahuasca and psychedelics are 100% without any potential harm.
