What is the Difference Between Ayahuasca and DMT?

Our WORD OF THE WEEK is DMT - Short for dimethyltryptamine, “the spirit molecule” is one of the most potent psychedelics on the planet. Sometimes referred to as the "drive-by" of psychedelics due to its short duration (5-15 minutes), it is also a key ingredient in ayahuasca ceremony ayahuasca tea, in which a specific blend of ayahuasca and chacruna induce significantly longer trips. Whether used in ritualistic, therapeutic, or recreational fashion, DMT side effects include significant distortions of time and space, the revisiting of past lives, and communication with entities and beings not from Earth.
