Dear Straight Talk: Can you tell me if DMT is safe? Articles I've read in Spirituality & Health magazine seem to indicate it is probably OK to use for a mind-expanding, healing experience. But I'm wary. I've heard there are different types of DMT and that some are hard to recover from. I took sacred mushrooms in Mexico and it was an extremely healing and helpful experience, but the dose was small. I'm an elder. I know wisdom can be obtained from sacred plants with a qualified guide, but it's not worth having a bad reaction or messing up my mind. What do you advise? Also, what should I say to young people curious about DMT? — Caite Mathis, Nevada
Leif, 21, Berkeley: I did ayahuasca (a traditional drink containing DMT-rich plants) in a formal setting with two experienced shamans in Peru. I did it four times over a five-month period following strict dietary guidelines between ceremonies. Overall, my experience was excellent, but that was because I was with two very experienced guides. Those experiences still guide me today and the shamans' words ring truer as time passes. That said, be very careful. Ayahuasca is potent stuff.
