Psychosis is a weird concept. With salvia/DMT psychosis it is the thing you are after, but just momentarily. I have seen alcohol caused psychoses all around me(alcoholics in the family...) which have been way worse than anything I have seen with other drugs because usually with alcohol you are doing stupid shit around other people. Alcoholics sometimes cannot tell what day is it, they mistake morning 6 for evening 6, can't remember really anything what they were supposed to do etc. It all depends on your definition of psychosis but according to science almost anything which pushes you away from your normal state of mind can be called a psychosis. Getting paranoid on weed(which has happened to me when I tried weed for my first times) is a psychosis too, this reads on wikipedia.
The problem with psychosis is when it lasts for days but I have never heard or seen that. I guess it can happen for mentally ill people but mostly I have heard just anecdotes which could be far from truth. Rick Doblin is a founder of an association which studies psychedelics and they use tons of these drugs on mentally ill(PTSD etc.) people for curing/research purposes and I don't think these scary psychosis which make you crazy and last for days happen there either.
Momentary psychosis like ego loss/softening on heavy doses of psychedelics is what you are after: I have surrendered to shrooms that I have lost my ego for a short while(in fact I have been able to do this sober too, and it is called satori in zen) but I have been able to pull myself together very rapidly. Sometimes with heavy doses your whole life seem like nothing but a foggy dream which makes you really think if there is anything else outside this moment of now.

That sound interesting as fuck. I'd like to lift some metaphorical walls to creativity and perspective. I quit weed because I felt done with it, but mushrooms seem to be a good experience to pursue. The guy who showed me what weed was really about encouraged me to try out mushrooms. I've been tempted since he seemed to have become a multiplicative confidence every time he came off a trip. Too bad he's at Princeton now so no shroom hook up for a while

There are a lot of ayahuasca ceremonies being held in Brooklyn right now...its become sort of a trendy thing to do.
The people who did it here all said it was a good experience, controlled, safe, good mixture, etc...but they lacked the real 'experience' that comes from travelling down to the Amazon and having the ceremony performed by an actual shaman.
My experience from 5 months ago is still strong inside me and it has made permanent changes in my body and mind. Positive ones.
Plus its a great conversation to have with hot girls. They love adventure.

Maybe some of you already know about erowid but it's an excellent site that has millions of trip reports for almost any drug you can imagine. Here's the trip reports for Ayahuasca, it has about 200 reports:

It's always best to research as fully as possible any chemical before we put it into our body and thus we can be fully prepared for whatever the effects are.

Hancock is great and I really enjoy Aubrey Marcus and Duncan Trussell on JRE as well.
I don't think I have had nothing but moderately bad trips on acid. Acid always makes me very uncomfortable -- I am either shivering out of cold or sweating like crazy, or something is aching, either way I am never feeling comfortable. Also, the duration is just hell when you are experiencing a bad trip... it feels like it will never end.

Interesting that you can handle solo Ayahuasca trips but LSD gets you on a bad one.
Perhaps you were getting some bad acid?

I did shroomhuasca yesterday, which is basically just psilocybin mushrooms with MAOI/RIMA. It was a completely different kind of a trip... not that much inside my head because one of my friend was talking, jumping and literally exploding moment after moment which constantly pushed my focus to external things.
I however, really internally realized many things during the trip. At some point I didn't know if it is me who is talking when my friend was talking. Is he saying those things because I KNOW them already? Is it just me talking and the whole thing about me and you is just an illusion? It was a scary feeling which lasted for some time.
All my friends, myself included, are jacked high testosterone guys. We were nothing but apes at some point. I could smell the testosterone in the air and feel it flow in my body. Two of my friends were in surrender but I had this hierarchical vibe with one of my friends, who is actually the tallest and biggest of us. I don't think we resolved who is subconsciously the king of the group but there was definitely fight of the testosterone for the alpha position. The reality is that wherever there is a group of men, there is hierarchy. Hierarchy is the essence of masculinity. Equalism is a threat against testosterone. The most talkative and wildest of my friends was literally shouting at some point: "I just want to be free, and explode outside of this fucking condo apartment... but I CAN'T BECAUSE IT IS NOT ALLOWED", oh man this guy was screaming, howling etc doing all kinds of shit. He was like a trampling wild stallion.
I really now do feel and understand what masculinity and testosterone is all about. This will change my approach to dating and pick up DRAMATICALLY. My approach will be all testosterone focused. I am the man, the king, and you are a feminine little girl who has nothing on me. The truth is, women are below masculine men, and they love it. Don't act otherwise. All you need to do is to get touch with your masculine essence, and let the nature do its work. Steve Jabba has similar approach to day game -- ALL DIRECT. If you are not masculine, if you are a worm, then indirect game will be the one for you... but it will never be as good as the way of masculinity because you are attracting the girl with things which do not cause a natural arousal, but a mere pragmatist interest in you.

I'd love to give this a shot, but I really don't want to go out of North America for it. I'm in Austin, Texas. Is anything nearby?

Strengthstudent, thanks for the detailed report.
I have a good bit of experience taking shrooms at this point, but the idea of including a MAOI is new territory to me.
Can you break down just how you consume the syrian rue with the shrooms? What is the 'recipe'?

Alright, I'll start planning in the late fall/early winter and we can try and coordinate.
