Hold up, I never said anything about schizophrenia nor did I say ayahuasca caused it.

The 2 articles you linked don’t mention ayahuasca at all. The active compound in ayahuasca is different from in LSD, mushrooms or mescaline. Show me a study done using ayahuasca that proves it has no link to mental illness.

It’s dangerous to dismiss negative anecdotes entirely. Take them as a warning in lieu of real studies being done.
